Chapter 1635

40% of the rent!

As soon as he said this, the chief was still stable, but the villagers who had been staying nearby couldn't help but moved. They had an impulse to speak, but they were stopped by the people next to them. Everyone made a noise for a while, and then stared at man Bao and the chief with bright eyes.

Li Chang hesitated and asked, "forty percent? Lord Zhou, you should know that if a drought like this happens again next year, 40% of the land may not even have a basket of millet. "

Man Bao said with a faint smile, "if there is still such a drought next year, I don't want 40% of it. The right should be to share your worries for your majesty“

She said to the leader, "I am an official, and the managers of my family, country and the world still know that the people have a hard livelihood. How can I persecute you again?"

When she said this, the chief was a little excited, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. "This, that, can Lord Zhou decide this matter? Would you like to talk to your family again? "

"Don't worry, I'll talk to my family," man Bao said with a smile. "My parents are reasonable people, and they all know."

The chief talked with old Zhou tou all afternoon, but he didn't think he was reasonable. On the contrary, he didn't think he was much different from some old men in charge of the village.

No, there are still some. They have a capable daughter who can be two officials of five grades and six grades.

However, he glanced at Zhou man and then at Bai Shan standing aside.

Although they didn't say much in the afternoon, Li Chang still vaguely felt that the two words were very effective, so Zhou man should be in charge.

Taking another look at Zhou man's age, Li Chang secretly said: the little girl's family is always softer. No wonder she made such a decision after walking around the village.

For a kind person, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Li Chang still likes to associate with such a person in his heart, especially when the kind object is still him.

Therefore, the chief immediately said with a smile: "if 40%, the villagers may be willing to cultivate more land. After all, the adult's job field is close to home, so it's easier to get in and out."

Seeing more and more people coming up, man Bao said, "why don't we move a chair and sit down and talk?"

Only then did the chief of the Department react, and quickly invited several people into the house to do it. You drank some sons and asked them to kill chickens.

Bai Shan declined and said, "we finished talking and went home. It's hard to walk in the dark."

Man Bao nodded and pointed to the empty tunnel: "just say it here and let them listen."

The chief thought for a moment. When he got off, he asked someone to go back to the house and bring out four chairs. He sat down and talked with the three.

Man Bao only looked at Bai Shan and said, "not only do I only receive 40% of the rent, but I also pay half of the grain seed, and I pay all the wheat seed. I will also find a way to buy more cows and give them to everyone at that time."

The longer he listened, the brighter his eyes, and immediately said, "Oh, Lord Zhou is really a Bodhisattva. We are lucky to meet adults. We are not happy to thank Lord Zhou."

The villagers became more excited and knelt down to kowtow.

Man Bao quickly got up to stop him. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, he said to the chief: "chief, don't be busy to thank me first. I also have requirements for doing these."

Li Chang smiled and said, "if you have any requirements, please mention them. We must do what we can do."

Man Bao said, "you have to listen to us how to plant this land."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent. Everyone stared wide. A farmer couldn't help asking in a loud voice, "Sir, do you have to listen to you when to plant and when to pull grass?"

Man Bao said with a smile, "almost."

Many people withdrew, "this is nonsense. If you don't point out well, we have to listen to you. What if we can't plant a grain at that time?"

"Yes, you are a senior official. You don't lack food and drink, but we can't. If you don't harvest a year, you will starve to death."

Man Bao nodded and said, "I know, so I will try my best not to let this happen. Unless it is a natural disaster, it is impossible for me to have such a man-made disaster."

She said: "everyone has just seen my parents and brother and sister-in-law. We should also see that my family is farming. We have grown up watching our family grow up. We have not been to the land, so don't worry. Anyone can spoil the land, but we can't."

At this point, everyone hesitated more and more. They wanted to believe her and were a little afraid.

They rent land. Although the owner or yamen occasionally dictate, in fact, most of what they do depends on their own wishes. They also know that farming is not good, half because of the drought, half because they don't want to plant, and the manpower is limited, which is really bad.

But now the owner only needs 40% of the rent. If it's planted

But if she doesn't command correctly and grows bad again, she will die.

Bai Shan said, "we don't hide it from you. We've run our own farm since we were a child. We're not unfamiliar with farming. It's the Mid Autumn Festival. It's best to plant the wheat in the field before October, otherwise the wheat can't grow green before the first snow. I'm afraid the seeds will freeze to death. It is also because of this that we are willing to set the rent at 40%

He said: "I know that there are many requirements for the job field. You not only have to cut the job grass, but sometimes you have to provide some extra cloth cotton for the household department. It must be difficult, but it won't be here. The Chuang Tzu we run in our hometown won't ask the long-term workers for their own mulberry and hemp, let alone tenants."

A man asked loudly, "that is to say, you don't divide our cloth?"

Bai Shan said with a smile, "we won't divide the mulberry and hemp planted on the edge of the gully."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was relieved and looked at the inside director one after another.

The chief knew that they were more excited. In fact, he was also excited. He hesitated and hesitated again. He thought of something and asked, "Your Excellency just said you would provide this wheat seed?"

"Yes, there is a new kind of wheat on the market. I looked at the wheat you collected. It seems that it has not been replaced with new wheat."

The chief smiled bitterly and said, "you have to spend money to buy it. Who has that money."

Man Bao didn't understand, "but now the new wheat seed is not expensive. It's almost the same price as the ordinary wheat seed, just a few Wen a bucket."

"We don't buy ordinary wheat seeds either," the chief said. "All the wheat seeds we use are reserved by ourselves."

So you don't have to spend money.

Man Bao:... It really saves money.

However, she could understand that the imperial court received fixed rent. If the tenant could not pay a penny and a grain of grain, it would cost a lot.

The harvest was good. If there was such a drought this year, there would be no place to cry.

Man Bao said, "I'll find a way to grow new wheat. When you decide to rent my land, I'll give it to you. You can think about it tonight and I'll come over tomorrow to answer."

Man Bao got up directly. "It's getting late, so we'll go back first."

Before leaving, she and the chief also said to the villagers: "tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival. After the Mid Autumn Festival, there is about a month's wheat sowing time. You can consider it, but the time is not waiting. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible."
