Chapter 48 047 Pig Killing Dinner

Chapter 48 047. Pig Killing Rice

Early the next morning, Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan, Dachui, and Liu Shu, who had been idle because the shop had been closed for the New Year, rented a carriage and left the south gate, heading towards the Ren family farm outside the city. .

"There are no shortage of refugees at all."

Ren Pingsheng lifted the curtains and looked outside where the porridge was being served. The refugees lined up like a long queue, standing shivering in the cold wind.

"A few days ago, there was another porridge noise quietly in the town. The policeman even came to our shop and collected 2 taels of silver. He would not leave until he gave it."

Liu Shu looked a little unhappy and said: "Afterwards, I asked the other shops in Ping'an Fang and found out that our shop charges the most!

And the business of 'Lotus Leaf Square' is so good every day. Every day they make a lot of money, but they only collect 500 Wen. "

Ren Pingsheng remained silent and just narrowed his eyes.

Although the charge is not much, this is the mayor bullying the outsiders!

This shows the mayor's unfriendly attitude towards the Ren family.

After suppressing this dissatisfaction in his heart, Ren Pingsheng said: "I'll give it to him today, and I will settle the matter later."

The carriage went very fast on the compacted dirt road, but after turning onto the road to the farm, it became bumpy and bumpy, and even the passengers inside the carriage were bumpy.

"Brother Ren, we're almost there!"

Sledgehammer, who was driving outside, shouted.

Ren Pingsheng lifted the curtain in front of him and saw a city wall that was much more spectacular than before.

The new city wall is more than four meters high, made of adobe rammed layer by layer, and has a few more edges and corners, enclosing about 100 acres of land.

There are many villagers on the path outside the village, pushing wheelbarrows and transporting red soil to the farm.

Just on the side of the farm, Ren Pingsheng saw a wooden camp, which was made of round logs and looked very solid.

"That's the tent where Liu Qiang and his escort team set up camp. The escort team all live in it."

Xiaowan also stuck out her head and spoke to Ren Pingsheng.

"If ten thousand people are united, Mount Tai can be shaken! Only loyalty and righteousness can lead to bullfighting..."

When Ren Pingsheng was looking at the camp, a loud singing sound came.

Ren Pingsheng saw a group of teenagers, singing in groups and carrying trees as thick as an adult's waist, walking towards the farm from a distance.

The young people are full of energy, their voices are loud, their bodies are strong, and they have a certain sense of bravery.

"No wonder the old village chief said that Qiangzi has a good way of training soldiers. It's really good."

Ren Pingsheng's first impression of these teenagers was very good.

The carriage quickly arrived at the city gate.

The gate is wide enough for two carriages to cross each other, and the gate built by carpenters is solid and heavy.

I don't know who saw Ren Pingsheng and reported it to Hu Laosan in advance.

At this time, Hu Laosan was walking quickly towards the city gate on crutches. As soon as the carriage stopped, Ren Pingsheng had just jumped off the carriage, and Hu Laosan had already arrived. His body was speckled and dusty, and he had obviously been busy.

"Master, I heard Manager Liu say this morning that you would come, but I don't know when you will arrive, so you couldn't wait at the city gate."

Hu Laosan said cautiously.

"It's okay, just don't delay the construction of the house."

Ren Pingsheng looked around.

The farm at this time was much larger than the first time I came here. There were busy figures all around. The wheels of the carts were turning rapidly. People were shouting one after another. Seven or eight adobe houses were being built at the same time. .

However, compared to the first time they came, these people's faces, which were originally full of food, looked a little more healthy. It was obvious that they had been cooking with lard for a month, which replenished their bodies with oil and water.

"Master!"

At this time, Lao Liu also came over carrying a tea kettle.

"I see there are a lot more people here?"

Ren Pingsheng just looked around and found that there were obviously more people than before.

Lao Liu replied: "In addition to training those boys here, Brother Qiang also went to stay with the refugee team outside the city, and recruited some more people these days.

In addition to the refugees, we also bought some surrounding land, and there were 7 more tenant households and 120 acres of land in the farm. "

At this time, Xiaowan took out a small book from her body and said: "A total of 45 people have been added, including 25 craftsmen and 20 young people between 12 and 18 years old.

Tenant households increased by 7 households with 42 persons.

The current population of the farm is 285. "

"Yes, Miss Xiaowan should be more careful."

Lao Liu praised.

Over there, Hu Laosan couldn't help but glance at Xiaowan, feeling somewhat impressed by this girl who was following the master.

Having only been to the farm once, I knew the number of people in the farm well.

How can ordinary people have this ability?

For Housekeeper Ren, it is painful for Xiaowan to look at these data now.

Although Ningxiangzhai launches a new type of soap every week, which drives soap sales to a high level, it can be regarded as making money every day.

But she couldn't help spending too much money. She now felt that Ningxiangzhai's money was just passed through her hands and she couldn't keep it at all.

If the number of people continues to increase and the workshop continues to invest, it will soon run into losses.

"Let's take a spin."

Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan, Liu Shu, Lao Liu and Hu Laosan around the farm.

The newly planned houses on the farm are built according to what he calls a "well" shape, horizontally and vertically, and every road is straight and connected to each other.

There are two main roads crossing each other in the farm, leading to four gates.

"A breeding farm has been planned here. The pigs and sheep collected from the surrounding villages in the past few days have been raised here."

When Ren Pingsheng arrived near the north gate, he saw a fenced field with several black pigs and seven or eight sheep.

"Let's go up the city wall and take a look."

Ren Pingsheng stepped onto the city wall from the north gate.

The city wall is one meter and two meters wide. Although it is not as wide as the five or six meters wide Qingcheng Town wall, it is very spacious for people to walk on the city wall.

After climbing the city wall, the vision is immediately much wider.

Walking around the city wall and looking at the layout of the farm, about one-third of the house has been built, and several courtyards have been built in the workshop area on the west side of the south gate. There are still some open spaces that can be planned at any time in the future.

Ren Pingsheng saw that there was a yard full of cut wood, and several craftsmen were busy making carts there.

At this speed, after the fifteenth, the entire farm will be almost built.

"Old Six, the New Year is coming soon. Let's kill a few pigs today to reward everyone."

When they came down from the South Gate, Ren Pingsheng suddenly said to Old Six.

"Gudong."

Hu Laosan, who also heard Ren Pingsheng's words, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and quietly looked to see if others had noticed, and then he felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll go tell the cook."

Old Six never refuted Ren Pingsheng's opinion: "Hu Laosan, go tell everyone."

Old Six and Hu Laosan left in a hurry.

Soon, a warm roar suddenly broke out in the crowd.

"Ah~~"

"Long live Master Ren!"

Someone shouted.

The wheels of the cart turned faster.
