Chapter 79 Tribute

Collecting grain is a major event. The servants of the Fang Mansion are all tenants and are not hired. Therefore, Fang Chen had to stop the reconstruction of the mansion and let them go back to collect grain. But even those who have land at home, he also knew that all the righteousness would be put back to help.

Most of the personnel left, and Nuo Dafang Mansion suddenly became much deserted.

However, Xier had good eyesight and soon became familiar with Xiao Yuer. A group of little girls often ran around in the mansion, making cheerful laughs of "giggles", adding some fun to the mansion.

Fang Chen is indulgent about this and thinks that girls are better to be more lively. They are just a gentle lady from a family, and they are just a girl from her own family.

In contrast, the three boys Yushan, Shizhu and Hou Xi are much more pitiful. Although he has never had a child, he believes in the saying that boys are raised in poverty and girls are raised in wealth.

He was reluctant to raise him poorly, so he could only play the role of a strict father and discipline him strictly. He asked Cai An to take the time to teach them how to write and write, and asked them to finish reading books in the mansion and increase their experience.

We must not relax in martial arts. We personally supervise it every day and do not relax at all.

It is the same mentality as those parents who have high expectations for their children and constantly help their children enroll in study classes in their previous lives.

Fortunately, the poor children were in the family early, and the three little guys were all people who could endure hardships. In addition, they had experienced a lot of things with Fang Chen, and knew that the eldest brother was for their own good. Therefore, even Hou Xi, who is the softest, never called him tired.

The grain collection lasted for more than half a month before it gradually ended. The labor force was returned and the Fang Mansion began a vigorous renovation.

Fang Chen made up his mind to build the farm and vegetable garden first, so that the animals were short of enough, and then buy them to replenish them when they could arrive in the county.

However, some minor changes were made. The pig farm remained unchanged and the chicken farm was reduced to one. After careful consideration, he decided to use it to raise cattle and horses.

It’s okay to say that the cattle are mainly horses. Horses are important means of transportation in this era. The Cai family left behind two good horses and three bad horses. Two good horses have been placed in the horse shed and have been lacking in activity for a long time. It would be a pity if they were abandoned.

"Head of the family, head of the family!"

On this day, Fang Chen was instructing three little guys to practice martial arts, and Cai An suddenly rushed over.

"Old butler, why are you so anxious? Be careful and don't fall." Seeing that he has his arms and legs and has never practiced martial arts, he is really worried.

Cai An took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have to hurry. The Li family sent someone to inform you just now and asked you to prepare the things and the people from Feisha Village will arrive tomorrow."

Fang Chen's face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything, so he took Cai An out. He didn't want the little guy to know about some things, so he let them live their childhood carefree.

Paying tribute is indeed a big deal. If it is too late, it will be slow. Feisha Village will kill people.

He had already learned that every time, he would send someone to inform him to prepare the tribute money and grain. On the second day, a large group of people came to escort them.

The tribute grain twice a year and the tribute silver once a year is required. After the autumn harvest, three large households, each with one thousand taels.

One thousand taels are not a small amount. Wanghai Town is easy to pay, which is because there is salt fields. If it is replaced by a large town without salt fields, it is really like drinking blood and sucking marrow.

Just think about the current annual income of Weihai Gang, and you can tell what life are those big players living.

Fang Chen has the foundation left by the Cai family and is in the "honeymoon period" with the Li family, so there is no need to worry, but he still wants to see with his own eyes how powerful Feisha Village is.

The hatred of parents in this life is always a cause and effect.

Even if he doesn't want to be a monk, he doesn't know if there is a god-like underworld in this world, Shaolin is a Buddhist after all, and he cannot despise the issue of cause and effect.

When he arrived at a pavilion corridor, Fang Chen asked Cai An carefully about the details of the tribute, including who the people who were and their personalities, etc., and did not let go of the slightest, trying to make no mistakes.

At this moment, the Weihai Gang really can't afford to make a mistake.

After asking about the situation, Cai An went down to prepare himself. He had experience and thought there would be no problem with this matter.

Back in the backyard, Fang Chen changed into a smile again and continued to guide the little guy in martial arts as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, Fang Chen carefully checked the tribute money and grain. After confirming that there was no problem, he brought a group of servants, gang members, and even hired many tenants, and pushed hundreds of carts out of the town entrance.

The Cai family has 1,200 acres of land, and the original Weihai Gang also has 120 acres, and one acre produces 500 kilograms, and 20% of the tribute grain is thousands of stones of grain.

There were more Li family, hundreds of large trucks filled with grain parked outside the town. With the Wang family grain team, Fang Chen calculated a little. The fields in Wanghai Town were about 10,000 acres, so wouldn’t the tribute be as high as more than 8,000 stones!

This is just a town. Although Qingcang Mountain is surrounded by vast land and sparsely populated, there are still seven or eight towns. Wouldn’t the food you receive at one time be tens of thousands of stones?

Fang Chen took a deep breath. The number was so amazing. Then another thought came up. There were more than a hundred people in Feisha Village. How could he need so much food to finish eating?

More than 100,000 stones of grain every year can't be piled up in the village and become moldy, right? Could it be that it is sold?

He always felt something was wrong, but he had no clue and only felt that the water in Feisha Village seemed a little deep.

"Boy Fang is here?"

Soon, Li Zhi's voice interrupted his thoughts. He gathered his thoughts, raised his head and smiled, and said, "Hello, Mr. Li. I have never felt sure about this for the first time. I hope the old man can give me some advice."

"Hahaha!" Li Zhi smiled, looked at his convoy for a few glances, and said, "With Cai An here, he will arrange everything. I have nothing to mention. However, there is one thing that needs attention..."

Fang Chen was solemn and looked at the scrupulous look.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with his attitude and did not keep it in hiding, saying, "Generally, those who come to collect tribute grain are either the second chief or the third chief. If the third chief is not aware of it, they are relatively calm and will never make things difficult for them as long as there is no problem. However, the second chief is tyrannical and bloody, and he will always take human life. I know that you are young and have some qi and blood, so I deliberately reminded you, if there is something really wrong, you must not be impulsive. If there is a rule set by the boss, he dare not go too far. Afterwards, give more compensation to their family."

Fang Chen's eyelids twitched, compensation? Will he compensate after death? Anger suddenly rose in his heart, and his slightly lowered eyes flashed with fierceness.

Then he raised his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, you know the seriousness of the matter and will never do anything randomly."
