Chapter 246: Stewardship

The topic was successfully taken away by Xiaobai, Yin Susu's appearance and net worth, even if he has been married, it is normal to receive so many love letters, no one will think about it.

But after such a fork, Xiaobai also forgot about the previous happy event, and he just said it casually. Everyone chatted a few words, had a meal, and went their own way.

Yin Susu needless to mention, Qingqing is a skilled man, and he also has business, Xiaobai has been busy helping Baiwan Villa expand its business and introduce friends in the past two days, and he also has to practice martial arts and figure out the moves.

Lin Yu was accepting the reactions of all parties, while sorting out the recipes for moon cakes and starting to set prices or something, and she had been away from the capital for a long time before, and she also had some things to deal with. The expansion of the restaurant's business is a matter of deciding whether to open a branch or buy the shops on both sides to expand the scale directly, and where to choose the location if you open a branch.

In addition, she has more than 100 hectares of land under her name, and although she has always had a small rent, she must also supervise and supervise whether the stewards of the grange sent over are conscientious and capable. More importantly, whether there are evil behaviors such as bullying others, bullying men and women, and collecting and extorting money.

Because of the low cost and the lack of money, he also felt that the ancient peasants watched the sky and ate, and their lives were not good, so Lin Yu only charged a little more than half of the rent of the average landlord, which was a very low rent. If there is an extra request for land rent, and she does not receive the money, and the notoriety is still carried by her, then she is too much of a loss.

Now it is before the festival, and all the stewards in Zhuangzi have sent the filial piety of Zhuangshang as usual, and Lin Yu is also very happy to accept it. And he gave him money and grain and rice for the feast. Most people will think that Lin Yu should seriously prepare for the festival, and for the sake of the festival atmosphere, he will generally not attack anyone. In addition, I also have to celebrate the festival, so this is the time when the Zhuangzi stewards are the most relaxed.

Lin Yu sent five groups of people who didn't know each other to go out, ensuring that at least three groups of people from each Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing went to investigate, and as for the dozens of hectares of land that were newly purchased before to be used for planting flowers, they were not among them.

As a result, Lin Yu didn't know whether he should praise his wisdom or be angry at the meanness of some people.

She has more than 100 acres of land in her name. There are a total of eight large and small villages, six of which were originally stewards of the grange, and four of them were cleared out because of the office struggle in the previous master's house. Two of them were sold by the criminals' families, and these six are all familiar hands and have also suffered hardships, although they don't know what happened to Lu Dao in the future. But the work at the moment is very serious. Especially the two who were sold by the convicted official's family, they were very responsible for their work.

The remaining two are all new, both of them are sold by the poor, Lin Yu and Qingqing look quite honest and capable, and they are not completely without ideas, so they were promoted to be the stewards of the two small Zhuangzi. One of them is okay, although the performance is not outstanding. It's a bit of a buckle, but it's not bad. Lin Yu didn't care much about it. When the water is clear, there is no fish, and it is impossible to be the steward of the grange without a little oil and water, which is also a common practice, and there is nothing.

But another steward named Xiang Yin made Lin Yu very annoyed, he was far away from the capital, and the place was remote, Lin Yu couldn't come without anything, and he was really powerful.

Xiang Yin charged an extra half of the rent, and some chickens and ducks and the like, and the extra half of the rent was naturally in his pocket. Don't look at the Zhuangzi is not big, less than ten hectares, after this summer grain is harvested, he suddenly has an extra 300 taels to 400 taels.

You must know that other people's families have to rent 60% to 80% of an acre of land, and Lin Yu only collects 30% rent for an acre of land, of course, it is also because she has a concession and does not have to pay field tax, so she can have some surplus. If you pay the land tax, at present, the tax of ten percent is one, plus the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, it will be close to five taxes and one tax, and if you rent three percent, there will be almost nothing left, so those who rent to tenants and collect fifty percent of the rent are considered to be honest landlords.

Even with such a high rent of 80%, land is still in short supply, and there are many tenants who cannot rent enough land to support their families. Therefore, there is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death, and it is better to have their own land, and it is even worse to rely on rented land to grow.

This is also the reason why this grange has overcharged rent and has not caused trouble to Lin Yuqingqing's ears, thirty percent of the rent, and an additional two percent of the rent is still fifty percent, and he is still a kind and kind landlord.

And the most important thing about this grange steward named Xiang Yin is not to overcharge the land rent and fill his pockets, just like this, Lin Yu is not so angry.

This Xiang Yin is a man in his thirties, with a dregs who is a year older than him, two daughters, and no son. Probably full of lust? After having money and power in his hands, he began to look at his dregs as unpleasant, and the dregs did not give him a son, and after drinking, he beat and scolded him at every turn.

That's not all, he actually fell in love with a fifteen-year-old girl from a tenant family, and insisted on marrying someone else as a concubine. Although the girl is a village girl, her facial features are marked, and her eyes are very delicate. Ordinary daughters, if they really can't get by, who wants to be a concubine for others?

When the people sent by Lin Yu to visit that place, this matter was making a lot of trouble, and Xiang Yinjian wanted to marry him, saying that he would pass before the Mid-Autumn Festival. And the girl was unwilling, and almost jumped into the river.

And what made Lin Yu even more angry was that two people in a group of the three batches of inspections deliberately missed traces, and then blackmailed Xiang Yin, and helped him hide it afterwards.

It's a pity that these people are all in vain, because this Zhuangzi is more remote, and the information is not very good on weekdays, so this Zhuangzi alone, Lin Yu sent four groups of people, among them, the more trusted housekeeper, naturally knew the truth effortlessly, and then became angry.

Xiang Yinlinyu originally planned to send him to the official, but begged for his wife and daughter. Considering that he was sent to the government, Xiang Yin was only afraid that his name would not be guaranteed, and it would not be easy to live by leaving orphans and widows, so he just searched out the silver that had filled his own pockets before, and asked people to give twenty taels of money to the girl who was forced to marry before as a dowry. Then Lin Yu asked someone to beat Xiang Yin hard, and then sold the family far away through people. The two who helped cover it up before, one person had ten boards, and the previous bribe proceeds were confiscated and sold together.

Of course, this kind of thing kills chickens and monkeys, and everyone in the mansion knows about it, so Lin Yu went back to the house and asked everyone to watch. Then Lin Yu and Qingqing took advantage of the situation to carry out a big cleanup in the house, according to the performance on weekdays, the money that should be deducted is deducted, and the people who should be walked are walked, and everyone is a lot more cautious and serious for a while, and the moths have been cleaned up and a few have been removed, and a few people who have performed well have become stewards or transferred to the position of oil and water.

Looking at the fate of those people, there were even more sweaty people who were sent out to inspect, they didn't know that they had crossed paths when they visited each other, and they were only their own, and some of them had a little dirty thoughts and wanted to blackmail Xiang Yin, but they didn't dare to do it, and reported it truthfully. There are also those who took advantage of this to ask for a little bit from those grange stewards and made a small fortune, but they are also in danger.

It didn't take long for the matter to spread to the Grange, and the stewards of the Grange were also a lot more cautious, reflecting on themselves, although some oil and water were conventional, but they also had to be measured.

"In the end, it's better for you to be more sophisticated." After dealing with the matter, Qingqing sat in his own hall and sighed while drinking tea, and sighed, "Sometimes, it's not that you can be generous, but you are also lazy, and you don't care about these things on weekdays." ”

Lin Yu smiled, "Most people are grateful, and if they are generous, most people are still grateful, but there are just a few moths." But if it's too mean, I'm afraid everyone will complain. ”

Of course, the embankment of thousands of miles, destroyed in the anthill, can not be continued to expand by the moth, this time to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, honestly dare not say, at least not so honest in a year or two will not dare to act. Qingqing was worried before, and the two of them ran to live in Lan Yuan, in the house

"If you really manage the house, you are also a good hand." Qingqing smiled, "It's just that you're too lazy, you can't push your hands, and you don't even ask." ”

"Because you're here, I'm too lazy to worry about that." Lin Yu smiled. "By the way, the trial sale of a few kinds of moon cakes are selling well, the restaurant can sell dozens of taels of silver every day, but I'm afraid that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone's freshness has passed, and they can't be sold."

"The profit of one tael of silver a day is three hundred and sixty taels a year, which is not a lot." Qingqing smiled, "Speaking of moon cakes, I remembered one thing, that Yin Xing, what happened over there, didn't leave any troubles, right?" ”

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's face was still not very good-looking, put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup, and said with some uneasiness on his face, "Sister Su Su is such a person, I don't want her brother Yin Xing to be that kind of person, it really doesn't look like a mother's belly." ”

Qingqing reminded with a smile, "Yin Xing and Sister Su Su didn't come out of the same mother's belly in the first place, and there are other people who came out of her mother's belly." ”

"This is also true, a mother's belly is much stronger than a father's." Because of saying the wrong thing, Lin Yu also smiled, and his expression eased a lot.

"Do you know why Yin Xing sent such a silk handkerchief to Lu? Not to beat my mind, but to take a fancy to my money. ”

Seeing that Lin Yu was more and more unhappy, Qingqing hurriedly persuaded, "Don't be too upset, there are actually a lot of people who covet the woman's wealth, and it is also a common thing, just look at it." ”

Lin Yu sneered, "Do you know what he does when he covets my family wealth?" It's to go up to Cuiyi Building to find my sister! An oiran of a hundred taels of silver a night. ”

"Really?" Qingqing was surprised, "Sister Su Su doesn't care?" ”

"What's the matter? But the two were not close in the first place, and Yin Xing was heartbroken again. ”

Lin Yu said with an angry face, "Sister Su Su is not good at locking up Yin Xing." Yin Xing accused her again of slamming the door, and she was not as good as a Qinglou sister caring about him. Bah, I earned 500 taels from him in three days, and then I returned 100 taels, and I can spare 400 taels, doing a good shrewd business! ”

Lin Yu originally didn't have any ill feelings towards Sister Qinglou, after all, those who fell into the dust were all hard-working people and women, so why bother women. But Yin Xing's mouth was too owed, and after Yin Susu exposed his calculations, he became angry and stepped on Lin Yu, which was inevitably a little angry.

"What the hell is going on? It seems to be very hot? What kind of Oiran is so fortunate that it costs a hundred taels a night? Seeing that Lin Yu gradually calmed down, Qingqing still couldn't help but ask. (To be continued.) )
