In late autumn and early winter, the weather became colder, but Huaili County became more and more lively.

The Great Fire Wolf Gang of Huaili Army defeated Zhang Dahui and brought great confidence to the people who fled their hometown and returned to their hometown.

In just half a month, more than 2,000 households returned, totaling more than 10,000 people.

Nie Wentao was so happy that he was too busy. He even wanted to take out the time he spent sleeping and pulled Du Yong to work together.

Du Yong had a headache, not because of his busyness, but because of his three thousand acres of land.

At that time, in order to stabilize the first group of people returning, Du Yong paid no rent and provided living expenses. Until the beginning of next spring, if there is an emergency, rent and living expenses can be extended.

More than 2,000 households who have returned now definitely cannot enjoy such generous conditions, but they also want to get some discounts, so they recommended the representative to ask Du Yong for it.

They were quite smart. When they heard that Mr. Du was easy to talk to, they specially recommended a group of old people to go there.

However, Du Yong only had 3,000 acres of land and had already rented it cleanly. He also took great risks in this move. If he struggled, he might really cause trouble.

But looking at these pitiful old people, Du Yong couldn't bear it, and he couldn't say the words he refused.

Lingling also pulled Du Yong's sleeve. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes showed a look of praying.

"I only have three thousand acres of land, so I don't have no land for rent!"

Du Yong first mentioned the premise, and the representatives were a little disappointed. Then the topic changed: "But I can barely do some living expenses and food, not free. I have to repay it in the future, no interest, no money, and I can offset the output from the land."

After losing, the representatives immediately became happy after hearing that they could get some benefits.

Du Yong continued: "For renting a land, go to the county government to register first. County Magistrate Nie has a large amount of land, which are all entrusted by the landlord. Although it is not rent-free, the rent is quite affordable. It is not to pay the money immediately, but to wait for the output to be calculated."

The delegates nodded and left with great gratitude.

Looking at their cheerful backs, Du Yong was also a little happy, and Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Lingling asked, "Young Master, why are you sighing? Isn't this good?"

Du Yong sighed: "I have bought another wave of people's hearts. This is a death act!"

Qingyao's expression was a little complicated and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, you know that this is giving someone a handle, why do you still have to do it?"

Du Yong was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said lightly: "I don't know either!"

Lingling laughed and said, "Is there anything I don't know? You are so kind-hearted?"

Du Yong turned his head to look at her and said seriously: "It's definitely not because of good intentions, I'm not a kind person."

Lingling obviously disagreed and wanted to say it again, but Du Yong changed the topic: "Don't worry about those things, it's too hard to worry about them. It's better to think about what to eat tonight than to have that spirit."

At this moment, a guest came to visit, an old farmer and a friend Du Yong had made recently.

Du Yong asked him about the skills of growing vegetables, and also beat fish with him and dig wild vegetables.

Today he sent half a bucket of fresh fish, half a yellow and spicy diced rice, and half a crucian carp, all of which came from Xiaoheli.

"Oh hehe!"

Du Yong was very happy and laughed: "What did you want to eat just now? It seems to be sauerkraut yellow spicy diced diced diced carp and tofu soup!"

After saying that, he mentioned the wooden barrel and made a gesture, inviting the old farmer into the living room, and instructing Lingling and Qingyao to serve tea.

But the old farmer shook his head and said politely: "The old man goes to the city to buy some groceries and delivers fish to the Lord. Now he goes back. There is still something at home, so he dares not waste time."

Du Yong was stunned: "How can you be so embarrassed? I didn't even take a sip of tea."

The old farmer waved his hand and smiled silly, "It's just a few fish. The Lord gave him no rent and paid for living expenses. There's no hurry to drink tea, and there's time in the future."

Du Yong had no choice but to give up, pour the fish into the basin, return the wooden barrel to the old farmer, and ask Lingling to bring him a pack of snacks.

The old farmer took the snacks and thanked him again: "The radish planted by the Lord has sprouted!"

"oh?"

Du Yong was very happy, but he was a little confused: "Have you sprouted in just a few days?"

The old farmer smiled and said, "The weather is good, the land is fertile, and the care is good, so it grows quickly. If the Lord is free, he can go out of the city and go to the ground to see it. If he is not free, we can help take care of it."

Du Yong explained: "These days, County Magistrate Nie has always discussed the matter with me, so he has no time and will go to see it in a few days."

The old farmer smiled and nodded, saying goodbye and leaving.

There were two dishes at night, including sauerkraut yellow and spicy diced diced crucian carp soup, and two large pots filled with them, and only three people ate them.

"So full!"

After eating, Du Yong burped contentedly, held a cup of hot tea, and collapsed on the soft chair.

Before he finished eating the two basins, Lingling felt a little sorry when she cleaned the table: "Brother Yang and the others were not at home, otherwise they would definitely eat it."

Qingyao helped to clean up and said casually: "I don't know what Brother Yang and the others are doing now? What to eat tonight?"

Du Yong chuckled and said, "What else can they do? I'll patrol with Boss Qu. It's time tonight, I must have barbecue."

Qingyao asked, "Young Master, can Captain Qu suppress the Feizi Camp?"

Du Yong said lightly: "If you just press the supply line, it's not a big problem. When I went to the county government yesterday, there was a battle report. Boss Qu collided with Tong Guozhi twice in the past half month, both of which were great victory and almost no damage. It can be seen that the morale of Feiziying is also very low. As long as Boss Qu maintains this rhythm, Huaili County will usher in a few months of stable period. Feiziying wants to fight back, at least wait until spring is warm."

Qingyao said, "In a few months, will Huaili County return to its former prosperity?"

Du Yong shook his head: "It's a little short of a few months, but County Magistrate Nie told me yesterday that at least he would build the city well, find an opportunity to expand the north wall, and expand the area of ​​the city as much as possible."

Qingyao asked in confusion: "That would cost a lot of money? Can the county government afford it?"

Du Yong explained: "Following the words of the magistrate Nie, he would borrow money from Chuanming County and Chuanning County, both of which are Fuxian County."

Lingling doesn’t care much about those things, because it’s useless to care: “No matter what, the whole winter is safe?”

Du Yong nodded.

Lingling smiled happily: "Young master, then we can have a good winter. This is a winter we have experienced, right?"

Du Yongqi said: "Is winter good?"

"not good!"

Lingling shook her head and explained: "It is because winter is not easy to live, so we need to treat it more carefully."

Du Yong turned his fingers: "I'm lying on the bed, roasting fire, cracking melon seeds, chatting about gossip, eating fruits, setting off firecrackers, playing cards, is that right?"

Lingling's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously: "Young master, you understand very well, but I don't like playing cards."

Du Yong's heart moved and he laughed: "I'm making a card, which happens to be played by three people, you must like it."

Lingling asked, "What brand?"

When Qingyao heard that it happened to be three people playing, she immediately became interested and looked at Du Yong with a gaze.

Du Yong raised his eyebrows: "Called by Doudizhu, you can find some cardboard, goose feathers and pigments, I'll make it."

Lingling and Qingyao immediately became busy with enthusiasm.

Most of the time later, Du Yong made a pair of poker. Lingling and Qingyao were both curious and pulled Du Yong to ask questions. Du Yong roughly introduced poker and explained how to play Landlords.

Gu Gong

Lingling and Qingyao are both smart people in Bingxue and soon became familiar with the rules.

The three of them came to the room, lit a few big candles, and sat around the tea table to play cards.

After the reshuffle, Du Yong smiled and said, "It's fun to have a lottery. We don't gamble, how about playing some novelty?"

Seeing Du Yong's smirk, Lingling suddenly felt a bad premonition, but was curious: "What's new?"

Du Yong swept over the two of them and suddenly smiled slutty: "If you lose a game, take off your clothes, how about it?"

"Pooh!"

Qingyao and Lingling spitted at Du Yong at the same time, but they didn't look angry.

Looking at Du Yong's excited eyes, they did not disappoint and agreed half-swer.

However, half an hour later, Du Yong had only a pair of shorts left on his body, and Qingyao and Lingling were almost intact.

Du Yong looked at the smug smiles of the two of them, and hated them: "God is not fair. I always send you bombs. I will be better with the second card. The rest are bad cards, neither big cards nor straight cards."

Lingling laughed and said, "After someone wins the second game, what will happen? Luck is also a kind of strength."

Qingyao replied seriously: "I think it makes sense!"

Du Yong was speechless, paused and muttered, "It's not fair, I'm wearing so thin, you guys wearing so thick."

Lingling smiled and said, "It's so cold now, of course we have to wear thicker clothes. Why didn't you wear more when you first said the lottery? Now you say it's unfair and you can't afford to lose!"

Du Yong was furious: "Who said he couldn't afford to lose? The winner has not been decided yet, Qingyao, deal the cards!"

Qingyao laughed silently, shuffled the cards clumsyly, and then dealt the cards.

After grabbing the platoon, Du Yong took two kings, two 2, and one Changshun, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Qingyao took the initiative, looked at his card, and smiled and said, "Call the landlord!"

Lingling's card was not very good, she shook her head and said, "Don't grab it!"

Du Yong looked at his card and laughed, thinking that he could finally kill him, and said happily: "Snatch the landlord!"

Qingyao refused to let him go: "Give him up again!"
