"Thirty hectares of eternal land?" Yang Bofang was surprised. How could Wang Zhihong give him so much land? What was his heart to do?

"What, is there any problem, Uncle Yang?" Liu Yiuan asked when he felt something was wrong with Yang Bofang.

"Oh, nothing, it just feels a little too much." Yang Bofang took a sip of tea and said, "If you hire someone, I can help you. I have some slaves and farmers who are good at farming, and I can lend you some days. But this is not a long-term solution. You'd better take in some farmers without household registration or are included in a low-priced family. None of these people have land, and they rely on being slaves or employed to make a living. You can hire them and arrange accommodation for them so that they can gradually become servants of your land. Farm for you for generations, and only in this way can they last."

Yang Bofang's words made Liu Yiming suddenly understand. This was probably the secret recipe for landlords to hire farmers in the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Yigu said to Yang Bofang: "Listen to Uncle Yang's words, I suddenly felt enlightened. However, where should this person without household registration or lowly household registration go? Please teach me."

"You should go to Wang County Magistrate. There are some records in his place. I can also divide you. Well, I can give you about twenty households. You have to find the others yourself." Yang Bofang said. "In addition, you can also offer more favorable conditions to attract other tenants. But this is very difficult. If you pay too much, you may not even be able to pay the taxes in the court in the end. You can decide at your own discretion."

"I'll thank you for this." I stood up and saluted Yang Bofang respectfully, saying, "I've been disturbing you for a while now, so I'll take your leave first. I'll come to greet you after the New Year."

"Well," Yang Bofang nodded and said, "You have something to do, so I won't keep you anymore. Go and remember to have a few drinks with me next time I come!"

"I will definitely accompany you, so I will say goodbye." Liu Yi bowed to Yang Bofang and turned around and left.

After leaving the house, he went straight to the county government office. He had to make a reservation before the New Year, otherwise he would definitely delay the spring plantings for the next year. He could not afford to pay for the income from thirty hectares of land.

Wang Zhihong seemed to have expected Liu Yi to come, and Liu Yi was taken in as soon as he arrived at the county government office. In the living room, Wang Zhihong was still wearing the same green robe. The only difference was that Wang Zhihong was full of red today, as if he had encountered some great joy. When he saw Liu Yi coming in, he actually greeted him in person. He smiled and invited Liu Yi into the room. Liu Yi was a little confused. This was not like Wang Zhihong, was he crazy?

Wang Zhihong pulled Liu Yip to the chair and sat down, and greeted enthusiastically: "Brother Liu, please sit down. I was about to send someone to find you, but you came by chance. Have you heard the news too?"

"Ah? What news? It made Lord Wang so happy?" Liu Yi was confused.

"You don't know yet? That's okay, I'll tell you now." Wang Zhihong said excitedly: "The day before yesterday, the Secretariat issued an edict to ask local officials to collect good prescriptions for treating plowing ox and horse intestinal dysfunction to report to the court to resolve the current disaster of cattle and horse intestinal dysfunction across the country. I will send the prescription you gave. As a result, with your prescription, you helped the veterinary doctor in the palace to cure three thousand war horses on both Yulin Army. When the emperor learned about it, he was very happy and ordered the reward. The reward could arrive at noon today. Brother Liu, is it worth celebrating this matter?!"

"Oh? There is such a thing? Then Lord Wang knows what the emperor will reward?" Liu Yi asked. What he lacks the most now is money, and he wishes Li Shimin could reward him with a cart of gold.

Wang Zhihong said: "I don't know this, but it will definitely be very generous. However, Brother Liu," Wang Zhihong said embarrassedly: "Wang did not mention your name when he handed the prescription to the superiors. This reward may not be your share. I just wanted to ask someone to come to you because I wanted to discuss this matter with you. When the Chang'an service comes, Wang wants to report the prescription to the court in detail. I wonder what Brother Liu thinks?"

"Didn't say it?" Liu Yiuan sneered in his heart: "I'm afraid it was intentional?"

"Mr. Wang!" Liu Yi bowed and said, "Since you didn't mention it, then forget it. Since the prescription was exchanged by Lord. Wang used the fields, it belongs to Lord. He dared not take any credit for his contributions. He dared not receive any rewards, so don't mention them again."

"How can that work?" Wang Zhihong denied it in a critical voice, saying, "Although the prescription was exchanged for Wang, it was still from Brother Liu, so it would be better to report it to the emperor again."

"No need, Lord Wang, although I have no money and no one has yet to cultivate the wasteland I just obtained, no matter what, I cannot do such a thing that is unfaithful and affects Lord Wang's career. Lord Wang is my second brother's mentor, and we are a family. Lord Wang must not refuse. This reward will never be received!" Liu Yi said very sternly.

Just now, he had already distinguished the gains and losses in it.

Wang Zhihong is indeed much more affordable than him. No matter what, Wang Zhihong has a fame and fortune, and is a Jinshi. If he has a reward, he will definitely be of great help to his career and promotion. Moreover, he is now Liu Erzhao's teacher. The greater his official position, the more helpful it will be to Liu Erzhao's future. Besides, if he gives all the credit to him this time, he will also accept Liu Yi's favor in his heart. If there are any difficulties in the future, he will ask him for help.

If Liu Yi received this reward, at most he would get a title without real money or some money. It would not be of substantial help to his future. This could be considered a long-term investment.

Wang Zhihong's eyes lit up after hearing Liu Yi's words. If he hadn't been afraid that Liu Yi would be exposed, why wouldn't he want to take this credit?

"Brother Liu, don't worry, if you have made such a great contribution to Sanyuan County, the county government will never treat you badly. In addition to the previous ten plowing oxen, you will also add 120 jin of silver. As for the cultivated farmland and the farmers who will cultivate in the future, the county government will also solve it for you! For those who have made contributions, the county government will not treat you badly now, and will not treat you badly in the future." Wang Zhihong offered the price of the hush fee. Looking at Liu Yiu, he wondered if he would agree.

Liu Yi understood the truth, and saw that his purpose had been achieved, he bowed to Wang Zhihong and said, "I would like to thank Lord Wang for this. Later, Lord Wang will still meet the upper class, so Yi will not disturb him anymore. Let's say goodbye first."

"I'll send Brother Liu out!" Wang Zhihong was even more happy when he saw Liu Yi's agreement. He sent Liu Yi to the door enthusiastically and waved his hand to signal.

At this time, the officials who came from Chang'an to issue rewards had also arrived in Sanyuan County. However, there were almost more people coming, with 1,200 soldiers in armor. As soon as these soldiers arrived in Sanyuan County, they blocked the entire county town. They drove the officers and soldiers guarding Sanyuan County back to the military camp, and the people wandering around in the county returned home. The business gates were closed and the vegetable market was cleared, and the entire Sanyuan County was empty for a moment.

Fortunately, the blockade lasted only for less than an hour, and it was untied after the reward was completed.

Due to this incident, many people think that Wang Zhihong must have received some great reward this time, otherwise there would not be such a big deal. However, as for what the reward this time, no one knows, and Wang Zhihong has never mentioned it to outsiders from beginning to end.
