Chapter 1636

The three got on the horse and left, leaving a man in deep thought.

When their horses ran away, the villagers couldn't help but surround the chief of the village and ask for advice one after another, "chief of the village, what do you say to do, rent her job field or go to the land of the landlord's house?"

"Forty percent, for example, the master is ten percent less, and all the wheat seed is given."

"That's what I say, but she listens to everything about this kind of land. What if she can't farm?"

This is what we are most worried about.

The chief stretched out his hand to suppress everyone's discussion and said, "didn't you listen to Lord Zhou talking to the white childe? They know the farming season, so they should be no worse. "

The chief was obviously smarter than the villagers and more knowledgeable than the villagers. He said: "after all, they are dignitaries in the capital. They will not stay here and stare at us all the time. Most of them still have to send someone to take care of them. Master Zhou, I think he is like a crop guard. Everyone is a farmer. We all know this kind of land, It's not difficult as long as you see exactly what you should do during the farming season. "

Everyone thought, "then rent her house?"

"Let's rent her house. I think this adult is easy to talk. I gave my boy some candy. "

"Don't be too happy. If you're really good at talking, you won't have to listen to her. That's to make us obedient. That's why we gave such a low rent."

However, with the consent of the first person, the rest can make up their minds quickly.

Manbao rode back to Zhuangzi in the sunset. Bai Erlang caught up with them and asked, "are you going to manage Zhuangzi yourself?"

Man Bao said, "let's just make plans. There are my father and big brother."

She said, "you can see that nearly 800 mu of land is in this area, and there are several pieces missing in the middle. The rest can be connected together. Such a large piece of land is still mature land. If it is well managed, it must be a lot of income."

Bai Erlang said, "now you're not short of money. Let's not say anything else. The moistening white ointment sold by Lijun now makes enough money in three months for you to work in this place for a year."

Man Bao said angrily, "I'm not just for money. Don't you think it's a very happy thing to see the land produce?"

Bai Erlang thought while beating a horse.

Bai Shan on one side said, "Erlang, we can't measure everything by money. You know, the people depend on food, and food is the foundation of the country. Look at the Pu village we see today. The world is composed of thousands of Pu villages."

"If the world is measured by money, I'm afraid no one is willing to care about them and no one is willing to work hard to farm. What will people eat and drink then? Even if you have money, you can't buy a grain of rice, and the world will collapse. "

Bai Erlang thought for a moment and then replied loudly, "so are you going to be a parent official in advance?"

Bai Shan laughed and said, "why not."

Man Bao beat his horse over them and galloped directly towards the sunset in the sky. He laughed and said, "managing Zhuangzi is different from managing a place. In the future, if you become a parent official and take the county as Zhuangzi's pipe, your husband will be angry and won't recognize you, ha ha..."

The three chased each other on the avenue. Daji followed the three of them with two guards to eat dust without saying a word.

Six people and six horses returned to Zhuangzi in two quarters of an hour.

Man Bao reined in the horse, jumped off the red horse, touched its neck, pulled it to the stable, fed it some bean material, and then ran to find her parents.

Chuang Tzu Li is still making their evening food. Although it's too late to eat evening food at the moment, everyone doesn't feel hungry. Old Zhou Tou is planning with Zhou Dalang how to grow such a large piece of land.

"... if those people don't want to rent, we have to look elsewhere to see if there are long-term workers."

Man Bao ran in and said with a smile, "Dad, I've told the villagers to think about it all night. Tomorrow, we'll go to the other two miles to see the remaining more than 100 mu of land, and Mr. man's 100 mu. We have to find someone to rent it."

Mr. Zhuang smiled at the speech, put down his tea cup and asked, "how did you move them? Today we see that they are not very willing to rent a job field. Now you can let them consider it. "

Man Bao said, "I told them I wanted 40% of the rent."

Old Zhou tou didn't respond much, because master Bai rented 40% of the land to tenants in Qili Village and Dali Village, but everyone didn't lack land, so most of them rented a few mu of better land.

They prefer to work for master Bai on a short-term basis rather than renting crops that need to be responsible for their own profits and losses. Regardless of whether the weather was good or whether there was a good harvest, master Bai has to pay us when we work, so as to make sure we can make a profit without losing.

But now it's Lao Zhoutou's turn to be the landlord, so he's not happy to hire short-time workers.

I haven't seen the income yet. It's a loss to give so much money.

It's better to rent. They only go out of the land, and then supervise the tenants to plant good land, remove good grass, apply good fertilizer and ensure water. After that year, they can get 40% of the rent in vain. This is a sure way to earn without losing.

So 40% he is also very satisfied.

Anyway, this place is not his own, but the imperial court. Man Bao takes a year's rent when he is an official. How nice.

"Forty percent is forty percent, but it has to be said. We have to manage the land. Those tenant farmers have to listen to us. You see how lazy they are. It takes a lot of effort to make such a good land overgrown with weeds."

Man Bao hoped that they could get along well in the future, so he spoke for them and said, "it's not their fault. The imperial court charged them a fixed rent. In addition to rice noodles, they had to give foot money and harvest and dry grass for the adults. Even their chickens and ducks scored half of the others."

Old Zhou couldn't help opening his mouth. "Well, how does it sound like a disorderly army?"

Mr. Zhuang coughed up and whispered, "brother Zhou Jin, it's hard to say such a thing."

Qian Shi stared at him, and old Zhou tou immediately dared not say.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "it's all right. It's all family. No one will go out and spread it."

In this way, it's nothing to spread, but it will be easier to offend people. Of course, offending the emperor is second, mainly offending the adults who own the job field.

Old man Liu looked at man Bao and smiled, but the little adult was obviously not among them.

Man Bao still agrees with her father. She also feels that the management of the job field is very chaotic and unfair to the people who rent the job field. No wonder they don't want to rent the job field.

"So, Dad, let's be kind to them, buy more cows and give them to cultivate, and improve the relationship. This kind of food is also better."

Old Zhou tou muttered, "I have to buy cattle..."

Cattle are very expensive.
