Chapter 52 Water Rent

Seeing that there are no adults here to preside over the situation, especially those who are digging the canals are some ignorant girls, the attitude of the people who come is not very good. The purpose of his www.biquge.info is to collect water money, and what money can he get with a few girls. Do you have to kidnap people back and sell them to human traffickers? But there is no formal contract, and basically human beings are not easy to sell. The so-called interlacing is like separating mountains, although they all collect money, but selling people and selling water are different after all. He's a stranger.

Qian Rujun happened to come over and unconsciously forgot her identity as a seven-year-old girl. It's almost the New Year, and she will be eight years old. The Han Dynasty celebrated the New Year in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. And Qian Rujun's father and mother in this life did not tell her when her birthday was, I am afraid that she had forgotten it a long time ago. The girl's household registration is basically asked by someone, and she will report it casually. So Qian Rujun decided to celebrate with the country and made the Spring Festival her birthday.

"What's the matter?"

At this time, people had no concept of land rights, and it seemed that ordinary people would not shout and kill people who invaded their homes, unless it was a large family. If it were the next generation of Americans, it would be normal to shoot them once. Generally, children are even more pastoral thieves, and his vegetable garden is near his home. If an ordinary person catches it, he will not be killed. Basically, children can run and jump, and they are all hated by people. Near Qian Rujun's field, there are Bo family's fields on three sides, but the area near the channel is someone else's. Qian Rujun basically had no contact with them. It also looks like a big family.

"Of course there's something, ask the adults in your family who can talk to come out, and you, a little brat, are still a girl, and I have nothing to say. “

At this time, Jin Miao, who was in Qian Rujun's arms, spoke, it seems that although she is young, she is quite clear about her identity, perhaps it is the concept that Gu Jun instilled in her when he took her: "Bad person, Miaomiao is the owner of the field." “

Such a small child, who can speak so fluently, is estimated to be regarded as a prodigy. But he didn't believe it:

"If the adults don't come out, I'll take you children away and let them pay the ransom as water money. “

Qian Rujun finally knew from his words that the purpose of his coming was to collect water rent. It seems that this canal should be dug by a private or public person, but if it is rented by a private person, this person does not look like a servant in the yali. It's not like it's a person like Lizheng or Pavilion Chief. Perhaps collecting water rent is also the reason for the thankless job, and this man has a very fierce color on him. It looks like he's killed someone, not like a good person.

However, even if the people in the oppressive place do things, they have their own set of rules for doing things, and they will not mess around. This is their way of survival for a long time. Generally, the people who come around are the ones who are ready to leave with a single stroke, but they are relatively difficult to deal with. The hooligan will grow, as long as he does not play with himself when he is young, when he grows up, he will become a rogue who knows the rules, and he will live on the blood and bones of the place.

"Silly Miaomiao, this is not the time to be a hero. I am the person in charge of this field. What money are you going to collect? “

The man looked at Qian Rujun, wanting to see if this kid was joking with him, and the ranger would also have a time to return to the good people, and he had been washing his hands in a golden basin for several years, since he was in charge of collecting water rent, he sucked a little blood from the person who paid the water rent, and his life was passable, but today he was played with by a child, what is the matter with this girl and horse?

"You're responsible? It's too small! Since you say you're responsible, then you hand over the money. The water money has to be paid once a quarter, and the water money for this season is 300 wen. Hurry up and take it out?"

Gao Yang thought to himself, no matter who he is, he will receive the money first, if this child has money, it is not bad to take it with her, the child is easy to bully, he immediately doubled his hard-earned money of 50 wen and water rent of 100 wen, and asked for 300 wen when he opened his mouth.

Qian Rujun thought about it, and estimated that regardless of whether this person was responsible for collecting rent, with the urine nature of bad people in this era, the money he asked for was empty, and I am afraid that the money he asked for was much more than he actually did. But if he doesn't give it, he will bully them again.

"You and the Bo family also collect so much?" Qian Rujun couldn't help but ask.

This bad guy is also very honest: "How dare I take so much from the Bo family, I don't even dare to ask for my share of money." They have their own wells, which are sufficient for irrigation. Who will buy water with our family. I thought, if you will receive water from us, the Bo family will definitely sell this land to you. can get the land from the Bo family, and your master is also capable. But why do you just tell these little dolls to farm? I've seen it several times, except for the occasional boy, just a few of you are farming. Where did all the adults in your family die?"

Qian Rujun found that it was best for her and Jin Miao not to insist that the two of them were the owners of the fields, that would be too dangerous. Obviously, the other party has not been eyeing them for several days. didn't touch them, it was for the sake of the Bo family's face.

"Miao Miao is the master, and the bad guy goes. Don't bully my sister. Kim Miao waved her little fists, struggling to fight the bad guys. Qian Rujun almost couldn't hold it.

It seems that the property rights issue really has to be talked to Jin Miao in the future, otherwise the girl who was raised will have to settle accounts with her in the future, and in this era, she will suffer. The Han official will not be on her side.

"We are helping the Bo family grow things. You'd better trouble us less!" Qian Rujun said to Gao Yang.

For the Bo family, Gao Yang is a little afraid of a little person. I don't dare to ask for more: "You have to pay for water, this is a matter of course." When the government came, the Bo family didn't make sense, not to mention, as you said before, you don't belong to the Bo family, you just help the Bo family grow things. What do you have to do with this, it's a mess. Forget it, the friendship price, two hundred wen. I've already given you a big deal. ”

Gao Yang doesn't know what the concept of discounting is. If he thinks about it, earning a hundred less is enough for him to feel distressed.

"That canal was opened by your family?"

"It was opened by the big landowners of our land, not the public ones. The public collection of money is even more ruthless, we bring water from Zheng Guoqu, and we have to hand over 10,000 wen per quarter to them, and only charge you 100 wen, which is already very polite to you. Gao Yang still has a little understanding of this matter, and they have to understand these things when they are married to the three brothers to collect water rent.

There were not a few hundred wen in his pocket, and he had to take out two hundred wen at once, Qian Rujun was very painful, but in order to reduce the trouble, he still agreed to pay it. "If we pay two hundred wen, will we be able to use it for three months?"

"We harvest every three months, season by quarter. The season runs until the end of September. The next season will be collected on October 1st, and the money will be ready when the time comes. Otherwise, if you have a few girls, you will use people to settle the bill. ”
