Even if he didn't look at it, Ye Ziqi could feel the sight of the two. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"One acre of land costs one hundred dollars a year. ”

For more than a dozen households, so many fields can't be planted at all, of course, the most important thing is that they can't plant so much and can't eat enough, who will have nothing to do when they are full.

Therefore, usually everyone only picks good fields to plant, and the yield of one acre of land is at least five or six hundred catties, and even thousands of catties in good times.

Ye Ziqi's advice was very satisfactory to both of them.

A year for no reason, one acre of land is more than one hundred dollars. One is that there are several acres of good fields on hand, of course, the main reason is that there are a lot of silver.

There are many fields that can be cultivated in small mountain villages, but those are not only more laborious than those that have been cultivated, but more importantly, the yield of what is grown is not as good as that of the cultivated ones.

When night came, Zhao Youfu, Liu Yulan, and Liu Chunhua came to Ye Ziqi to discuss renting the land.

There were many people who had planned to leave, but they stayed after hearing that such a novelty as renting a field had been retained.

"Aunt Chunhua, how many years do you plan to rent it to Uncle Youfu?"

Liu Chunhua said: "This is the first time we have encountered this matter, let's try it for a year first." ”

Ye Ziqi still borrowed Zhou Dapeng's account book, but the Zhao family had rice paper, but seeing that the three of them were so anxious, Ye Ziqi used Zhou Dapeng's account book to write the lease.

Halfway through Ye Ziqi's writing, he looked up at Liu Chunhua and asked, "Aunt Chunhua, how many acres of land are you going to rent to Uncle Youfu and them?"

Liu Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "The piece of land not far from my house, I want to keep it for myself." The rest of the almost five acres of land can be rented to the blessed brothers. ”

After Ye Ziqi wrote the lease, he said to Liu Chunhua: "Aunt Chunhua, you press a handprint here." ”

Liu Chunhua asked, "What handprint?"

Ye Ziqi explained: "It's just to dip your fingers in some ink and press it on it. ”

"Oh. Liu Chunhua should use the index finger of her right hand to dip some ink, and press it heavily where Ye Ziqi said.

After Liu Chunhua pressed the handprint, Ye Ziqi said to Zhao Youfu: "Uncle Youfu, it's your turn." ”

With Liu Chunhua's reference, Zhao Youfu also pressed his handprint under his name.

After the two pressed their handprints, the lease was formed.

Ye Ziqi said: "Originally, this lease should be in triplicate, if Aunt Chunhua and Uncle Youfu need it, I will make up your two copies tomorrow." ”

Zhao Youfu said with a smile: "It's useless for this thing to be in our hands, maybe we bring it back tomorrow, and it will be gone the day after tomorrow." ”

Liu Chunhua said: "Brother Youfu is right, we don't need it." ”

Ye Ziqi said: "Okay, this time it's just like that." But it's best to keep a copy for yourselves in the future. It is best to let Hongxia and Tian Xige also be literate, so that they can write the lease in the future, of course, it is best to have an intermediary to testify when writing the lease as this time. ”

After watching the formation of a lease, the onlookers regretted that they did not get such an opportunity.

Hearing the voice of regret, Ye Ziqi said at an opportune opportunity: "Who said that you have no chance? Except for Aunt Chunhua, there is no extra land for others?

Everyone followed Ye Ziqi's gaze and saw Zhou Dapeng who was busy adding tea to everyone.

Zhou Dapeng felt a pair of fiery eyes and wanted to escape from here, but he was still a step too late.

"Uncle Dapeng, do you want to rent?"

"Uncle Dapeng, you hugged me when I was born, so you have to rent me first, don't you?"

As soon as this statement came out, all kinds of reasons followed. Some even Ye Ziqi was embarrassed, why we have the same surname, we are the same clan. What names are equal, not fate, etc.

In the face of the enthusiastic crowd, Rao is Zhou Dapeng, who can be regarded as a good speaker on weekdays, was also a little overwhelmed, so he had to cast a look at Ye Ziqi for help.

Receiving Zhou Dapeng's call for help, Ye Ziqi cleared his throat, he did say too many words today, and his throat was a little uncomfortable.

"Uncles, they are all villagers, aren't you embarrassed Uncle Zhou? I have a few questions for you, you answer my questions first, and then let Uncle Zhou decide who to rent his land to. ”

Ye Ziqi's words finally succeeded in attracting the people around Zhou Dapeng and rescuing Zhou Dapeng from the corner.

"What's the problem?"

"Who is in your family, who is in charge, and how is the work in the house usually distributed?"

Although everyone didn't understand what Ye Ziqi asked, what these questions had to do with renting land, they still answered seriously, and some of them thought about what was left behind after answering.

The people who wanted to rent Zhou Dapeng's field answered one by one, and Ye Ziqi's eyes fell on Liu Jingui and Zhao Yuanfu intentionally or unintentionally.

After being with Ye Ziqi for so long, how could Zhou Dapeng not understand Ye Ziqi's hints.

"I have ten acres of water land and three acres of dry land. ”

Hearing this, people who wanted to rent land felt a burst of joy in their hearts, but Zhou Dapeng's next words made the enthusiasm in their hearts cool down.

"I'm a person who doesn't want to be troublesome, so I don't want to rent my land to too many people, and it's better for one family to take over my field. ”

The ideal of a family taking over more than a dozen acres of land and facing white flowers and silver is good, but for people in the era of ancient agricultural tools, the reality is cruel.

Ye Ziqi didn't expect that Zhou Dapeng would have so many fields alone, seeing everyone's embarrassment, Ye Ziqi said in a timely manner: "It seems that it is impossible to rent one family in Uncle Zhou's field, what about two households?"

Speaking of the two households, someone's eyes immediately lit up and they began to discuss it privately.

Ye Ziqi didn't bother them, just listened quietly and waited for their results.

Soon the people who discussed it had a result, and the eight people naturally formed four groups.

Ye Ziqi looked at the eight people: "Are you sure you don't need to discuss it with the people in your family before making a decision?"

Ye Ziqi's intentional reminder made six of them hesitate, and in the end, only Liu Jingui and Zhao Yuanfu, who Ye Ziqi had just reminded Zhou Dapeng, were very clever.

The same Ye Ziqi helped them write the lease.

Seeing that Ye Ziqi had not yet closed the lease, Liu Jingui whispered: "I don't have any money to pay rent now." ”

Liu Jingui's words reminded the other two people who also rented other people's fields, and they looked at each other for a while.

Ye Ziqi said: "This is easy, don't you want to sell grain to Uncle Zhou tomorrow? When you sell the grain, won't you have a tattoo of silver? Uncle Zhou here can also use grain to offset rent." ”

What the inn needs most is food, and Ye Ziqi's proposal is in the hands of Zhou Dapeng, so he politely let the rent of the two be deducted from the grain sold to the inn next year.

After watching the excitement, the people who wanted to rent the land but didn't get the land sighed regretfully, and prepared to leave the inn with everyone.

In this regard, Ye Ziqi said: "It's not that there is no one who has room for it, you uncles can think about which family's land you can rent, discuss with your family tonight, and ask them if they are willing to rent it as soon as possible." ”

Ye Ziqi's proposal again made the people who didn't rent the fields feel a little better.
