The next morning, when Liu Yi and Liu Erzhao rushed to the county government, Wang Zhihong had already left with Huang Shan for half an hour. Seeing Liu Erzhao's disappointment, Liu Yi advised him a few words and then took him to visit the farmers who were about to farm for him in a few days.

According to the Bo, there are ninety-one households and three hundred and eighty-one people. From now on, all of them will be his employees and their families. Now it is the end of the year, so he, the owner, should also go to express his condolences. Talk about family matters and raise relationships. If possible, Liu Yiu wants to sign a labor contract with them as soon as possible. Labor relations without a contract will always make people feel at ease.

Among the ninety-one families, eighty families lived together, forming a small village. These were all Wang Kui's contributions. In order to facilitate farming, Wang Kui used his authority to threaten and induce these farmers and drove them all together. Now it's cheaper, Liu Yipeng and had a ready-made meal.

Liu Yiu brought Liu Eryi to this village with 80 farmers. Seeing the situation of each household, it felt like he was in a slum, poor and dilapidated.

The houses here are very simple, made of mud and piles of hay. There are many cracks in the middle, but there are still many people living in it.

The farmers here are very shabby in their clothes. In the cold winter, many people are still wearing autumn clothes, especially some children, whose whole bodies are swollen.

Why are these people living so miserable? Liu Yi looked sad, especially now it was almost noon, and only three or four of the eighty families had smoke rising. Can't they all be out of the way?

Liu Yiu pulled a child playing at the entrance of the village and inquired about the residence of the village head.

The head of the courtier was named Li and his name was Dechen. He was an old man in his fifties and an elder. He was very famous in the village. His home was in a thatched house at the east end of the village.

After inquiring clearly, Liu Yiuan pulled Liu Erzhao to Li Dechen's home. When he arrived, Li Dechen was cleaning the dust in the yard.

Judging from his appearance, his thin body, thin shirt, and mixed black and white hair. His hands and face were dark. I don’t know how many days he had been under the scorching sun.

At this time, Li Dechen also noticed Liu You and the other two. Seeing that they seemed to be coming towards his house, he stopped the notes in his hand.

When Liu Yi and the others got closer and closer, until they were in their own courtyard, Li Dechen bent over and met him, bowing his hands and asked, "I wonder where the two young masters came from? What can I do to teach you when I get to my old man's house?"

"Li Laozhan is polite," Liu Yiuan bowed and said, "In Xialiuyi, a native of Gutian Village, this is my second brother, Liu Erzhao."

Li Dechen became more polite when he heard Liu Yi's introduction and bowed and said, "It turned out to be a new owner. The new owner has arrived, and the old man has lost his wishes. I hope the owner will not blame him."

Liu Yi's body moved a little apart, avoided Li Dechen's bow, waved his hand and said, "Li Laozhan doesn't have to be so polite." After Li Dechen stood up, he said, "Today Yi came to know the situation of the villagers and discuss the matter of spring farming. Knowing that Li Laozhan is the head of the place, he came to disturb him."

When Li Dechen saw that Liu Yi was polite and not as fierce as Wang Kui before, he felt relieved. He respectfully invited Liu Yi and his brothers into the room and said with some shame: "You two bosses are welcome to sit down. The house is simple, and Li is negligent."

Liu Yiu looked at it and found that there was nothing in the room except a shabby square table and three three-legged stools. It was indeed simple enough.

Moreover, Liu Yiu also noticed that there was no incense table for ancestor worship in Lao Li's home. He looked at Liu Eryi, and Liu Yi sighed in his heart. He didn't even have anything to worship ancestors. You can imagine how poor their family was.

Liu Yiu sat down on one of the benches, signaling Li Dechen and Liu Eryiu to sit down together, and said, "Li Laozhao, I see that all the households in the village seem to be not rich, and most of them don't even have a decent winter clothes. Some children are even wearing single clothes until now, so why is this happening?"

"Uh?" Li Dechen was stunned. He seemed to have not expected that Liu Yi would care so much about the farmers in the village. He was completely different from the previous boss. He ignored the life and death of the villagers and his affection for Liu Yi increased a little. He thought that this boss might be more kind, so he plucked up his courage to tell Liu Yi: "If you go back to the boss, the village's households will only have enough work every year, so how can they spend more money to buy clothes? It was better in the past. During the Chinese New Year, they could get some money from the boss and add some New Year's goods. However, this year, the boss was arrested and the fields were confiscated. We farmers were only hungry."

"To be honest, most of the households in the village can only live with porridge, and some families are small and even porridge is rare. They have to rely on the support of each household in the village to survive." Li Dechen looked sad and helpless when he spoke, and there was no such thing as those who were unreserved or lowly. Even if they were starved to death, no one would care or pity for them.

"That's it." Liu Yiuan pondered for a while and said to Li Dechen: "Li Laozhan, please gather all the men in the village here. I have something to say to everyone."

Li Dechen said respectfully: "Yes, boss. Please wait for a while. Now most of the men in the village are at home and will be able to gather them soon."

"Yes." Liu Yi nodded. When Li Dechen walked out of the door, Liu Yi pondered for a while and asked Liu Eryi: "Erzhao, how much money do you have now?"

Liu Ertiao reached out and touched it in his arms, saying, "Only five words."

"Five essays? It's a little less. But one essay counts as one essay." Liu Yi said: "Lend me the money first, and I will repay you when I get home."

Liu Ertiao was almost able to guess Liu Yi's next move, so he handed the money to Liu Yi's hand without hesitation and said, "Brother, you can just take it if you need it. Don't talk about the kind of people who don't pay it back."

Liu You smiled, and the child Liu Eryou finally became more sensible.

I took the money over. Although the five cents were not much, it was enough for a few bites for a few days. If he added more than 800 pennies on him, it would be enough for a few days for a few days for a few days for a few days for a few days for him.

As for the future, let’s talk about it later.

What Liu Yi wants to do now is to give these farmers a hope, a hope for a good life, and a hope of eating meat every day.
