And Dahan also told them. The annual rent of wasteland is only 40%. And the first year is rent-free, half of the second year is collected, and the third year is full of rent. When Dahan said this, everyone was surprised, and they all said that they had never seen such a light rent.

In fact, this is already half of Liu Pei's addition. The reason why half of the rent was increased was, on the one hand, that Liu Pei would need a lot of grain in the future, so he would have to charge a little more rent. On the other hand, it's for first-come, first-served. The first person has half of the preferential treatment, and the natural sense of belonging is stronger, and he is willing to obey his leadership. Later, in order to close the gap between the two sides, they will naturally work harder.

When everyone entered the camp, they found that the camp was actually not small. The first half looks small because it is on the side of the road, but the second half is in the middle of the woods, which covers a large area. There are several simple wooden houses in the process of being built. There are also people in the woods who are building sheds with the trunks of the trees.

The big man said, "I told you some of the rules first. You're lucky, and you'll be able to pick a location for the tenant fields now. Those of you who come after you don't have a choice! ”

Everyone nodded in understanding. Someone asked, "It can be seen that your master is rich, and there are many fields to choose from!" Don't know where the fields are? ”

The big man waved his hand and said, "I have to ask Mr. Bookkeeper about this, I don't know." Another point is that in the camp, you are not allowed to drink raw water. Whenever you drink water, you have to boil it and drink it. And open defecation is not allowed. Urine and urine must be in the designated place. On the left side of the camp is the thatched house, which is divided into men and women. Even garbage is not allowed to be littered. And ......"

Dahan said a few rules, and everyone listened carefully. Zhao Youfu's uncle said to everyone: "There are rules! If there are rules, there is no danger. If we keep other people's rules, they will keep us safe. Everyone has to follow the rules! ”

Everyone nodded. Dahan also said: "This old man is smart! I got to the point at once. If there is any theft or anything like that in this camp, just report it to us and we will take care of it. The bookkeeper is in the shed over there, and you can ask for it. ”

The crowd saw that there was indeed a small shed on the edge of the woods. Two people like Mr. Bloom were sitting there writing and drawing. Everyone consulted, and one person from each family went to inquire about the situation. If you go to the tenant field together, you may be able to get a place. Everyone is already familiar with each other, and it can be regarded as a care, so as not to be bullied by the local people.

Because Zhao Youfu and the big man talked, everyone recommended Zhao Youfu to negotiate with Mr. Ledger. Zhao Youfu was reluctant to go. In the past, when he collected rent every year, he could see the faces of the housekeepers and bookkeepers. But since everyone recommended him, he also went hard.

When he got closer, Zhao Youfu led everyone to the account first

Raw bow to the gift. The bookkeeper was kind, twisted his beard and said, "You folks don't need to be polite. If you have any questions, just ask me. ”

Zhao Youfu asked, "I heard a big brother say just now. Where you can choose a tenant field, what's going on? ”

The bookkeeper said, "It's not easy! Our owner is rich and has bought a large amount of wasteland to open up wasteland, not only in Shandong, but also on overseas islands! If you come first, you can choose to go overseas or stay in Shandong. If you are lucky, you still have a choice, but those who come late because of the locust plague will not even have a chance to choose. You have to go wherever the Lord arranges you to go. ”

Everyone was very happy to hear this, and they all sighed that they were lucky to come out of the house early. They all clamored to stay in Shandong. Zhao Youfu asked: "Is there anything to say about this tenant field?" ”

The bookkeeper gave a general explanation of the situation, exactly the same as what the blue-shirted man said. The bookkeeper said that there was a deed, and everyone was relieved.

Zhao Youfu then asked, "But I don't know where this land is?" Several of us want to get together. ”

The bookkeeper said, "Don't be in a hurry to talk about this, there is one more thing to tell you." Now it's up to you to decide if you want a piece of land for your home. ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard this! These families all ran out to escape the disaster, and their families are all extremely poor, so why don't they want to get their own land? At that moment, everyone asked how to buy land.

The bookkeeper said: "As I said, my owner not only has land in Shandong, but also has a lot of land on overseas islands. If you are willing to go overseas to farm, the rent is the same. But if you work overseas for five years, you'll own the land! It doesn't cost a penny! In addition, there are few people overseas, and there are many fields allocated! If not, you can only be a tenant in Shandong, and you will not have your own land. ”

On the one hand, after five years of farming, the field will become their own, but they will have to go far away from home and overseas. I don't know how dangerous it is overseas. Is what Mr. Bookkeeper said true or false? Maybe when you go overseas, you will become a slave of others, and you can't get rid of it. If you are in Shandong, you can only be a tenant farmer for the rest of your life, and there is no hope of turning over.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally decided to share the land in Shandong. No way, the old tradition of the Chinese. I always feel that people leave their hometowns, and it is difficult to leave their homeland!

The bookkeeper didn't say anything, and after their decision, he wrote the deed bit by bit. After handing them the signature, he said, "This deed is for you." If you don't understand something, ask someone. ”

When the bookkeeper saw that these people had all taken the deeds, he then told them the specific address, and the surname of the village chief

Who. He questioned them about their memories, and told them that they could go to the land at any time with the deed, and sent them away.

Everyone was overjoyed and returned to their families with the deed. The deed was shown to them under the hopeful gaze of his family. For these people, this thin piece of paper is not just a deed, but a hope for survival.

When these people fled from their homes, they were full of hesitation, not knowing where to go and what the future would hold. Unexpectedly, he only came out of the house for more than ten years, and he successfully landed in the field. Although there will be a period of hard work in the future, there is finally hope. Moreover, it seems that the person who released the news at the beginning really did not lie.

The deed was passed around in the hands of the family, and everyone was smiling. Zhao Youfu was also very happy to show his wife and two sons the deed. All three of them were smiling, as if they had laid down a thousand pounds of burden.

When the deed returned to Zhao Yongfu's hands, he thought of his dead father again, his heart was sour, and he shouted "Dad!" And he began to cry. His mother-in-law and two sons also cried when they thought of Father Zhao! It didn't matter if he cried, it also aroused the sadness of other people, and they couldn't help but shed a few tears.

The big man in blue heard someone crying, and thought something was wrong, so he hurried over. I saw some people hugging and crying. Thinking about it and understanding their thoughts, I was going to walk away. But when he saw Zhao Youfu, he stepped forward and said: "A manly man, even if he is cornered, he can't cry!" Always stand up for your family! Now that you have a way to live, why are you crying again? ”

Zhao Youfu cried and said, "I think of my father." He shouldn't have looked for a short-sightedness! It's only been ten days since he got his way to live, and he didn't wait! ”

The big man sighed and said, "It's also my fault!" At that time, when I was talking to your father, I was in a hurry to go to another village, and I didn't speak clearly. If I had said it clearly, maybe your father would still be alive by now! I'm sorry for you! ”

Zhao Yongfu wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, "This shouldn't be your business, it's my father's unhappiness!" ”

When the big man saw Zhao Youfu holding the deed in his hand, he took it and looked at it. After returning it to Zhao Youfu, he whispered: "You come with me." ”

Zhao Youfu didn't know why, so he followed Dahan to a remote place a few steps. The big man saw that there was no one around, so he said to Zhao Youfu: "Speaking of which, your father's affairs have some trouble with me. I'm troubled, so I'll give you some good! ”

Zhao Youfu listened to it for a while, and said in his heart, what benefits can this big man give me? Do you want to give me some silver? Forget it, my own temper is stubborn, and I can't pull others! And it was only under the guidance of others that he successfully landed in the field, and he couldn't climb others.
