Chang Wei seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and jumped around the Guan Chaoyin's yard, without any idleness. If anyone took a nap, he would go up and wake up randomly and said, "Don't sleep, don't sleep! How can you still sleep in such a big deal?"

Baozheng below, the people who stay here are exhausted and irritable.

An Sanlang was tied up and sat on the ground. He felt exhausted both physically and mentally and could not hold on. He cut the valley for a day during the day and did some work at night. How could he bear it when he was tossed like this? Looking at Chang Wei who was jumping around, he felt a little dazed. Did he really do something wrong? He finally had a place to settle down and just wanted to put more effort into a good life. Is this also wrong?

In the mess, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the door, which was particularly crisp at night.

Bao Zheng let out a long sigh: "Hurry up and see if the magistrate is here!"

Chang Wei was stunned for a moment: "Why did the magistrate come in midnight?"

Bao Zheng shook his head. You are making trouble here, can the magistrate not come? I will go to the fields to collect grain tomorrow. How many people can bear this kind of trouble? People are not iron-clad. They have been busy all day during the day, so they have no energy at night.

Du Zhongxiao got off the horse and entered the yard with a pale face. He glanced at the people in the yard and looked at An Sanlang tied to the ground and said, "Why are you tied up? Isn't you getting the thief after getting late at night?"

After what happened last time, Chang Wei was a little afraid of Du Zhongxiao. When he heard about whether he had caught the thief, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, he caught the thief! This An Sanlang ate the rice from the field business, but cut his own millet at night!"

Du Zhongxiao turned around, looked at Chang Wei, and said in a deep voice: "What does it have to do with others when he cuts his own millet? How can he be a thief in his own things?"

Chang Wei stubbornly said, "These days, we cut grains for the field business, like working as a job. We eat the field business and lead the field business rice. We have all the strength we have grown from this rice. Isn't doing our own business a thief?"

Du Zhongxiao looked at Chang Wei, like a monster, and after a while, he said, "Who said this?"

Chang Wei said: "What I said! Isn't this the reason?"

Du Zhongxiao was so angry that he laughed: "There are times every day for the field business, otherwise what should I do for the field leak? It is to record the time they do when they do it. The rice and rice they receive in the field business are all the rewards for their work during this time. When the work is done, they will do whatever they like to do when they go home, and they will ask you to take care of it! Why don't you even take care of how they sleep! Let the people go quickly and everyone will go back to rest!"

After saying that, he ordered Chai Xin to go to Song'an Saburo's bondage.

Chang Wei's eyes were wide open, and he almost didn't believe his ears. Unexpectedly, Du Zhongxiao gently exposed this matter, without any intention of punishing An Sanlang. The so-called "Charity is not in charge of military affairs. How can Du Zhongxiao manage the field well in doing things like this?

Seeing An Sanlang loosen his ties, he stood up and Chang Wei suddenly stretched out his arms to stop him: "No, if this person is not punished, the rest of the villagers will follow suit tomorrow. If you don't work hard for the field business, go home to do your own work. When will the valley be collected?"

Du Zhongxiao said impatiently: "Don't you know how to count? You harvest grain for farming and work normally, and you get more grain than they grow at home. These people have worked hard for a year, and they rely on harvesting and efforts at this time. The grain they recovered is a reward for the whole year. Whoever does not work is giving their own benefits to others in vain. Farming is just helping others do things. You can't count, are you stupid as a villagers?"

After hearing Du Zhongxiao's words, Chang Wei was stunned for a moment and couldn't react for a while.

In fact, it was not just Chang Wei who couldn't react, but many villagers were a little confused for a while. However, they really worked hard to do their work and soon understood what Du Zhongxiao meant. In the past, they had already paid for the farming responsibilities, but now the millet in the fields was planted together. Whoever worked hard at this time and had more work, would get more rice, which was equivalent to taking advantage of others.

From land reclamation to farming and management, the villagers' work for a year has been condensed into the millet in the fields. Now, the share is distributed according to the amount of effort it is to work and cheat during the day. Each household has fifty acres of public land, even if it is divided into 40%, it is much more than its own five acres of private land. They are hiding their strength during the day, and doing private work at night, they pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.

Seeing that Chang Wei could not react, Du Zhongxiao said impatiently: "There is a long-term rule for the field management in this kind of thing. Everything is done according to the rules, and it is as if you are making trouble here. Chai Xin, from now on, you let Chang Wei and the other two beside you and go to the yamen to rest together. If you mess with the villagers again, I will only ask! Okay, it's late at night, everyone should rest!"

Chai Xin whispered to the follower beside him: "These three are the ministers and servants of the prefect. With the support of the prefect, they are very domineering. Who dares to care about him!"

After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly, feeling it was very difficult. Chang Wei and the other two had special identities, so what should they do if they didn’t listen to him? Could they use strong?

Seeing everyone leaving one after another, Du Zhongxiao said to Bao Zheng: "There are too many things these days, Bao Zheng is responsible for it."

Bao Zheng bowed: "This is the first year of harvesting grain. Everything is going to be a craftsman, and it will definitely not go so smoothly. It is also the first time that the small one is working as a job. I hope I won't go on a business trip and miss the affairs of the officials."

Du Zhongxiao nodded repeatedly: "As long as we are united, we will definitely handle the field business well. As long as the grain is collected this year and sent to the state, and the credit is placed there, no one will say anything."

After chatting with Bao Zheng for a while, when he saw that the night was getting deep, Du Zhongxiao asked Chai Xin and Chang Wei and the other two to go back to the yamen to rest.

When he arrived at the yamen and returned to his residence, Chang Wei grabbed Qiu Shilong and said in confusion: "Just just now, the magistrate said that he was lazy during the day, just picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons. What does it mean?"

Qiu Shilong said: "Watermelon is produced in the Khitan. I heard that there are also in the Western Regions. I have heard of it in the northwest. This melon grows big, sweet, crispy and juicy--"

Seeing Qiu Shilong talking about the Tao, Chang Wei said impatiently: "I have heard of Xigua, but now I am asking this. I am asking you why the magistrate said that the villagers are cheating during the day and can't make a profit!"

Qiu Shilong thought for a while and said, "I am a little confused about this matter. I save energy during the day. Even if I divide the grain less and cut my own grain at night, it will be all my own. It is the best way to do this, how can it not be worth it?"

Another person who had not spoken said, "I think you all have a bad idea and forgot what the magistrate said. Each household of public land is 50 acres, and if you don't cheat, you will be divided into 40% of the grain, which is equivalent to twenty acres of grain. Once you don't work harder than this, you will be divided by the people who work harder. Your own private land is only five acres, and all of them are collected, which is far less than the rice you get from the public land. Therefore, the most cost-effective thing for villagers now is to work hard during the day and have enough time to collect their own grain if you have enough energy to do it at night."
