Huang Laifu, Gu Yunniang, Butler Yang and others returned to Qianhu's house in Wuzhaibao. It happened that Huang Sihao, Yang's family, and Gu Qianhu were waiting for several people to have lunch.

Before the meal started, Gu Yunniang said what happened in the farm just now, and everyone was very surprised to see that Huang Laifu had such a trick.

Butler Yang sighed and said, "The young master's method of managing the farmland is really admirable. In this way, the farmlands are not diligent. I believe that after the spring, the farmlands will be a different scenery."

When Huang Sihao heard this, he couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction. Gu Qianhu also nodded with his beard.

Yang said, "My son, it's nothing to do with the third-class farmer's five dou of rice per month, but are the monthly grain and annual rewards of the first-class farmer's and second-class farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer's farmer

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Mom, only with rewards and punishments can these farmers work hard. There is a saying that wool comes from sheep. If the farm increases its income at the end of the year, it is nothing to give them a higher reward. When we eat meat, we have to give others some soup, right?"

Everyone nodded, and Gu Yunniang was also thinking, and glanced at Huang Laifu with pretty eyes.

Yang smiled and said, "My son is confident, so I won't say anything for my mother."

She said, "Come on, everyone eat, eat."

Wuzhai Fort is just a small place, and whenever there is any disturbance, the entire fort will immediately learn about it.

After the story of Huang Laifu in the farmland, after word of mouth among the villagers of the Huibao, it soon spread in Wuzhaibao.

Everyone in Wuzhaibao was surprised to discuss. One reason was that when did Huang Laohu farm and even took care of the farm. Two reason was that Huang Laohu became more and more kind to others, and even invited every tenant to drink porridge?

To be honest, when Huang Laifu had an accident, many military households did not dare to say it openly, but secretly everyone was happy, especially those who had been bullied by Huang Laifu, who even prayed that Huang Tiger would never wake up after the accident. However, what was disappointing was that Huang Laifu was soon alive again.

But when I think about it, Huang Laifu has become a little kinder after waking up from an accident. Although it is still scary when I see it, I have never bullied the military households in the fort again. Everyone doesn’t understand how Huang Laifu changed? Isn’t it said that the country is easy to change, but its nature is difficult to change?

Regarding the new employment method that Huang Laifu adopted in the farm, many tenants from other farms of the Huang family and military households in the fort were moved and thought that it would be their turn to do this good thing. Everyone was preparing to inquire whether Huang Laifu should implement this new method in other farms, or whether to hire people.

However, after hearing Huang Laifu's new employment method, the officers in the fort took a wait-and-see attitude and watched the show. Before Huang Laifu's new method was effective, they would not rashly change their long-term rental method. Some people even thought that Huang Laifu did this, and it would be funny that it would not be too funny to not even be able to pay the monthly food.

At this time, Huang Laifu was riding a horse on the street and heard the people's comments faintly. However, after seeing Huang Laifu, these people stopped talking quickly and flashed quickly. It was obvious that Huang Laifu's power was deeply rooted in the hearts of these people.

Huang Laifu thought to himself: "The story of the farm spreads quickly." But this is what he expects. What he does naturally requires others to promote more to deepen the influence.

After lunch, Huang Laifu did not rest for long at Qianhu's house, so he went out. Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu, butler Yang, Gu Yunniang and others were still following him. Gu Yunniang didn't know what was going on, but these days, he made up his mind to follow Huang Laifu every day. Wherever he went, she would follow him.

Huang Laifu didn't care much. He was busy with work. At this time, he hid the drawings of the big water trucks he had drawn in the past few days. The direction he went was where the military craftsmen of the Five Village Fort lived.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands of craftsmen, divided into military craftsmen, civil craftsmen, and stove craftsmen. The craftsmen in the garrison were basically military craftsmen. Their origin was "soldiers who could not bear the conscripts" in the early Ming Dynasty. After learning the techniques of armor piercing and making bows and arrows, they were also appointed as military craftsmen for various reasons. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, military craftsmen were a member of the world. Like military households, their descendants inherited their careers and were not allowed to leave their posts and change their careers.

There are also dozens of military craftsmen in Wuzhai Fort, who are usually responsible for repairing some weapons and armor in the fort and building some weapons. Speaking of which, these military craftsmen are even worse than military households. Not only are they usually used as serfs, but their treatment is far inferior to military households.

In theory, ordinary military households have a monthly grain of one stone and their own fields every month. Military craftsmen have nothing except selling some skills to work hard. Their monthly grain is only three dou of them, and they only spend eight-fold rice every day when they work. However, like military households, their monthly grain is also heavily deducted, and when they are handed over, it is almost too small.

The treatment was so poor, and all kinds of hard labor emerged one after another. After Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, like military households, craftsmen's escape became a common phenomenon. In the third year of Zhengtong, 4,255 craftsmen fled everywhere, 10,000 craftsmen fled in the tenth year of Zhengtong, and in the first year of Jingtai, 34,800 craftsmen fled.

I have seen the poverty of the military households, and I have the memories of the Wuzhai Fort military craftsmen in my mind before, but when I saw these military craftsmen, Huang Laifu was still shocked.

The places where these military craftsmen live are very dilapidated, all of which are huts, with cracked holes everywhere, and some of the mud walls of thatched huts look like they are about to fall. All the military craftsmen they see are pale and thin and have a garish face. In the cold weather, many people are still thin and shivering with coldness. Some children are similar to those of African refugee children I have seen on TV before.

After seeing Huang Laifu and others coming, these people quickly dodged away in fear. Those with children also hurriedly pulled the children aside.

Huang Laifu sighed: "It's so miserable, it's so miserable."

Gu Yunniang had an unbearable look at her face. At this time, after hearing Huang Laifu's words, she couldn't help but give him a blank look: "When did you become so kind? I heard that many people here have been whipped by you before."

Before Huang Laifu could speak, he saw a middle-aged man rolling out of a thatched hut. He ran to Huang Laifu's horse, his face full of fear, and he kept saying, "I don't know if it's the eldest young man who came here, he would be in a far-fetched welcome, and he would be in a far-fetched welcome."

This person is Liu Zongqi, the leader of the military craftsman. Just like the military household organization, the military craftsman also organizes hundreds of households, general flags, and small flags. However, although as the general flag, he does not live a better life than the craftsmen next to him. He has a face with vegetables, his clothes are the same torn, and his thatched hut is not less than others.

Huang Laifu got off his horse, threw the whip to Jiang Dazhong, and said loudly: "Master Liu Qi, I'm here today, I have something to ask for your help."

Mr. Liu repeatedly said, "See what the eldest master said, if you have something to do, just send someone to give me some instructions. It will cost you your big driver. It really makes me uneasy."

Huang Laifu smiled slightly: "Master Liu is just good at speaking."

Mr. Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "Where, where." He tentatively said, "Do you see if you are going into the house and talking?"

Huang Laifu nodded and was about to leave when he saw a torn child not far away looking at him timidly by the house. He felt a move in his heart and waved to the child.

A group of onlookers had gathered around the hut just now. Seeing Huang Laifu like this, everyone's eyes flashed with fear.

Mr. Liu's face was also a little unnatural, and he forced a smile and said, "Young Master, the child is ignorant. If you offend the Young Master in some way, I hope you have a lot of them..."

Gu Yunniang, who was on the side, also said, "Huang Laifu, what are you going to do... This kid didn't mess with you." However, Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu were preparing for a horse whip.

Huang Laifu thought to himself: "Grandma, my image is so bad?"

He glared at Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu who were helping out, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him." He waved to the child again. The child came over timidly and walked to Huang Laifu, but was afraid to speak. Huang Laifu then realized that this was a little girl. She saw her hair from a distance just now, and she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

At this time, the little girl, less than ten years old, was dressed in thin and tattered clothes, and was wearing a pair of torn hemp shoes on her feet, her whole body was trembling with cold. Her bright eyes were just looking at Huang Laifu timidly.

Huang Laifu smiled at her gently. Before he could speak, a girl came out of the room and rushed to Huang Laifu, knelt down and said, "Young Master, if Erniu has any offense, please give up your hand and let her go. Yumei kowtowed to you."

Huang Laifu was a little embarrassed and thought to himself: "It is notorious and doing good deeds is also misunderstood."

He slowly took out a paper bag from his arms. The paper bag opened it, but there were a few pieces of pastries inside. However, when Huang Laifu was having lunch at noon, he thought the pastry tasted good, so he packed a few pieces and prepared to take them to the farm to eat slowly. When Yang saw this, he wanted to pack it in a food box and ask Huang Laifu to pack more. Huang Laifu said enough, so he just packed a few pieces and used them here at this time.

Huang Laifu put the pastry on the little girl's hand and smiled and said, "Erniu, right? This is for you."

The little girl Erniu just looked at Huang Laifu, and was both moved and hesitant, but she did not dare to retreat and take it back.

Huang Laifu smiled and encouraged her. Erniu suddenly stretched out her hand, stuffed the pastry into her mouth, and ate it voraciously.

The girl Yumei, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't believe her eyes. She slowly stood up and whispered: "Thank you, Master..."

Huang Laifu nodded at her with a smile and walked. In a glance, the girl Yumei was about fourteen years old, thin, cloth skirt full of patches. She had a very dish on her face, but there was a bit of beauty between her eyebrows and eyes.

Huang Laifu turned around and heard the tender and cheerful voice of the second girl behind him: "It's delicious, sister, you can eat it too."

I heard Yumei say, "Sister doesn't eat it, Erniu eat it..."

Mr. Liu, who was standing aside, saw all this in his eyes, and his face looked quite strange. At this time, he saw Huang Laifu stepping forward and hurriedly followed: "Please please in the eldest son, please in the inside."

Huang Laifu said: "Please ask Mr. Liu." A group of people entered the house.

The lowly whispered people from behind, "Did you see it? Did you change your temper? I didn't beat anyone, but gave Erniu pastry?"

One person said, "Isn't it a trick?"

One person said, "What a trick? If anyone gives me pastry, I will admit it."

One person said, "I heard that Huang Laohu has been kind-hearted recently. Have you heard about the Huang family farm at Xiangwu? Why are Huang Laohu drinking porridge for the tenants?"

Everyone said, "Oh, what's the matter with Huang Family? We haven't heard of it."

The man said proudly: "This matter is going to be said slowly..." (To be continued)
