Big landlords!

Linglong didn't expect that three thousand taels of silver could become a landlord, she really wanted to jump up and jump. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, calm down, thinking that Zhao Sijin came in such a heavy rain, just to tell himself about this happy event?

After being happy, Zhao Sijin's face was a little heavy, "Grandma, we have bought a lot of land, and there are many tenants accordingly." The farmer in the field has not yet reached the time of harvest, and those fields are now planted with corn and sorghum, and such heavy rain, even after so many days, and now there is hail the size of pigeon's eggs, I am afraid that there will be no harvest. ”

Linglong was frightened, and only cared about being happy, but he ignored this.

When you buy the land, you are responsible for the tenants.

Seven cents of the Zhuangzi's harvest were given to the owner as rent, and three cents were kept by the tenants for a year's use. If the autumn harvest is not good, even if you meet a kind farmer and get rid of rent, this life will be difficult and difficult.

If there is really no harvest, the owner of the farmer has a good heart, and he can barely survive the winter by opening a warehouse and releasing grain. But when you meet a ruthless and selfish owner, no matter whether the tenant lives or dies, it is really possible to starve to death.

Linglong planned to buy all the land and use it to grow flowers, regardless of the grain harvest. But the tenants couldn't leave it alone.

"What's the situation in Fengtai now?" Linglong asked, although worried, it was not a hundred thousand urgent.

has not experienced a famine year, and for people starving to death in winter, Linglong has only heard of it but has not experienced it herself. Zhao Sijin is different, he has really experienced the famine year without food, hungry to eat tree bark to strip off the trees in ten miles and eight towns, when he sees something to eat, his eyes are full of blue light. At that time, there was only the desire to survive, and many people no longer cared about family affection.

Zhao Sijin looked solemn and said: "The rain is as heavy as a bean, and Fengtai is about to become a water town." Coupled with today's hailstorms," Speaking of this, thinking of what I saw all the way back from the Grange, from the eighty-year-old woman to the five-year-old child, everyone looked panicked, Zhao Sijin sighed: "The tenants are braving the rain and hail to harvest, and they can't harvest much, besides, the corn is not fully ripe." ”

Linglong said: "If there is really a disaster year, doesn't the imperial court release grain every year for disaster relief?" Linglong remembers that in the spring of this year, she and the eldest princess also set up a porridge shed to help refugees.

Zhao Sijin shook his head, "The court releases grain, and there are a few grains of rice that can really reach the people." Otherwise, there would not be a flood of victims in every disaster year. If you don't starve to death, who wants to beg all the way. ”

Linglong was speechless, what Zhao Sijin said was true.

"Tenants, go for yourself. The grain was harvested as quickly as possible, and they were exempted from rent this year. In addition, after the autumn harvest, the field will be built with a greenhouse, all used to raise flower seedlings, once the flower seedlings survive, the sale price, they can get a share, this winter will be fine. At worst, I lent them money and deducted it from the share of the flowers. ”

Zhao Sijin breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that once the tenants changed to flower fields, they would never suffer a loss, and their annual income would be much more than that of growing grain, and they would receive cash every month, unlike farming, which would only yield silver at the end of each year. I heard that Xinzhuang mainly grows flowers, and those tenants rushed to sign up for Zhuangzi, eager to count the three-year-old dolls in the family.

Linglong's share of the tenants is very affordable, calculated according to the number of people and sales, the more people in the family grow flowers, the more they sell, and the more silver they get.

In this way, it is hoped that the person who grows flowers will not be on the sidelines, and the whole family will be twisted into a rope with one goal and one goal.

However, Zhao Sijin was afraid that Linglong would still have to collect rent, and the tenants would not be able to pay it, so they rioted.

Over the years, the tenants have accumulated a lot of resentment towards the Gan family.

After solving one thing, Zhao Sijin looked a lot more relaxed, and continued: "Our land is on a high place, and below the slope is the land of Tanjiazhuang. With such heavy rain, the canals in the field would have overflowed long ago. ”

Linglong understood.

The water goes low, and once the canal overflows, it will be like a flood, going down the trend and flooding the land of Tanjiazhuang.

The two families are neighbors, and kindness is the best.

"Do you know how the Gan family handled it in previous years?" The Gan family has been running this land for so many years, and there is always a way.

Zhao Sijin smiled bitterly, "The Gan family and Tan Jiazhuang fight every year. ”

In other words, the Gan family will not hesitate to open the floodgates and release water. flooded Tanjiazhuang, maybe the Gan family will also put on a flowing water banquet to celebrate.

Since the Gan family's experience in previous years could not be followed, Linglong pondered for a moment and asked, "Can't you drain it?" ”

Zhao Sijin said: "If the rain is lighter, the drainage can be done, but it will go on like this, it will be too late." Our land is only separated from the Tan family's earthen flute, and as soon as the water overflows, the Tan family will be flooded immediately. If we have to drain it, it's not completely impossible, but we have to bring some of the water to our ground first, relieve it, and then lead it out. As a result, we may have a loss in our flower field in the southwest corner. ”

In the flower field to the southwest, there is a plum tree cultivated to welcome Laba.

If it is flooded, it will be too late to replant.

This batch of plum blossom branches was transported from Henan by Zhao Sijin at a large price. Even the flowers and branches were artificial, and it cost thousands of taels of silver.

However, this is a long-term business after all. You can't make enemies with your neighbors because of temporary gains and losses, and when the time comes, you will lose more than just a few thousand taels of silver.

With his mind set up, Linglong said: "Then let's drain it." You go over to the Tan family in person and tell them that they don't have to worry, we won't open the gates. ”

Zhao Sijin's admiration for Linglong rose in her heart.

Linglong was still young, and he was afraid that she had the wrong idea. Now it seems that he is too careful.

The affairs of the Grange have been explained clearly, and Zhao Sijin no longer stays, and went directly to the Grange to organize tenants to dig ditches and drain the water.

Zhao Sijin has always been steady in her work.

Linglong left the flower hall briskly and returned to the main room, just as Shen Yunqi came in with a bowl of steaming green onions.

"I can't eat with you, I have to enter the palace." Shen Yunqi put down the bowl and went to change his clothes.

Linglong followed into the inner room, "Why did you leave so early?" Worried.

Shen Yunqi put on his official clothes, patted Linglong's head, and said gently: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

The more Shen Yunqi said it simply, the more Linglong felt that something was wrong. He didn't say, and she didn't want to ask. Passing his arms through Shen Yunchi's waist and fastening the belt. He took the hat from Cherry and put it on for him.

Shen Yunqi leaned over and kissed Linglong on the forehead, then raised his foot and left.

Linglong stood in the corridor and looked at Shen Yunchi.

Watching the bean-sized raindrops smash on Shen Yunchi's wide hat, Linglong felt distressed in her heart.

He must have been worried about the heavy rain and ****** take the opportunity to make trouble, so he went in advance, just afraid that Shen Yunqi would not sleep tonight. This painstaking effort, I don't know if King Yan will receive it.

"Second grandma!"

A familiar voice woke Linglong from her contemplation, and following the sound, Zhaoying passed by Shen Yunqi with a hat several times larger than her, and went straight to her.

Linglong couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
