Chapter 124: Rent Collection
Zhou Lin's arrival this time did not have any impact on Lin Yu, anyway, Lin Yu didn't care about the other party so much, and he didn't think too much about it, as long as he did his own thing.
In this way, Lin Yu also served in the palace smoothly, for Lin Yu, there is nothing bad about staying, although it affects his entry and exit a little, but it is still acceptable overall, after all, he also has a lot of time to go out.
After ten days in the palace, Lin Yu also ushered in his first rent collection task, and now the grain is basically harvested, and it is time to collect rent.
It can be said that there are a lot, but even so, there will still be people who are willing to come to rent, otherwise they will have no income, after all, this is their only income.
Lin Yu doesn't know much about these, and he doesn't have much of a concept of two percent, anyway, how much he collected before, he can just collect it as before, after all, he can't decide it himself, just be responsible for taking back the grain according to the quantity.
On this day, it is also the time when the grain collection officially begins, and some tenants are also lining up to pay the rent, so that they can deal with the matter as soon as possible, and it is also easy to do without entanglement.
For the task of collecting grain, it is actually relatively easy, after all, Lin Yu does not have to collect it from door to door, but just let them come and deliver it, and they all very much hope to solve this problem as soon as possible, so there will be no slackness, unless there is really any difficulty.
Lin Yu just sat there and watched the handover below, and he didn't need to get started himself, it can be said that it was really very easy, in fact, this is also understandable, after all, there are a lot of people below, and he just needs to look at this data.
Xiao Wu is assisting on the side, or will help him, he needs to record the amount of rent paid, so as not to make any mistakes.
The morning went very smoothly, and every household was very easy to deal with such things, and nothing bad happened.
However, when it continued in the afternoon, it was a little smooth, because the people below found that someone handed in far less food than before, if it was a little bit worse, it didn't matter, they wouldn't care too much, but there were a few households that were basically one percent worse, so the people below also hurriedly told Lin Yu, after all, they couldn't afford to make a mistake, and Lin Yu had to deal with it.
Lin Yu was still very surprised when he heard it, it was the first time he came to deal with such a thing, and he encountered such a thing, and he had to ask about it, so he also asked a few families to come over and ask what the specific situation was.
"I just heard that the food you handed over is almost 10% less than before, I don't know what is going on? Why can everyone else pay in full, and what problems are you experiencing? It stands to reason that this year's grain growth is good, why is this so? Lin Yu asked.
"Back to Lord Changshi, what you said is not wrong, the grain is indeed growing well, and it's not that we don't want to pay the original amount, but this year we did encounter difficulties, if we still pay according to the original amount, we can't live a better life, and I hope Lord Changshi can understand." One of them argued. 1800 Literature
"Oh yes? I don't know what happened to you that caused you to reduce your income, why didn't others have such a problem? Lin Yu continued to ask.
"Lord Hui Changshi, that's the case, wasn't there a rebellion of King Ning before, it stands to reason that they have no reason to pass through where we are, but I don't know how, they also passed through our fields in the process of defeat, some of the grain was destroyed, and the grain that was already about to mature was also ruined like this, and we had no way to do it, so we didn't have the ability to pay enough as before." The visitor continued to explain.
Lin Yu was really a little surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect that King Ning and these people also inadvertently affected these tenants, but after thinking about it, it may be understandable that when King Ning's rebels were defeated and retreated before, they did surround a large circle near Changnan City before returning to Changnan, so it is theoretically possible to pass through the territory of Luzhou.
Although Lin Yu did not follow the governor to pursue the rebels, it can still be roughly associated, but there is no need to worry about this, there is still a chance to reconnoitre.
"Oh yes? Are you all having consent issues? Lin Yu continued to confirm.
"Back to Lord Changshi, we all encountered the same problem, in fact, there are still many people who encounter such problems, but they are also afraid and have not had time to come, I believe that the follow-up will come one after another, after all, this is also impossible to escape." Someone came to tell the story.
"Okay, I believe what you said, if you encounter difficulties, you can pay according to one percent, but don't deliberately conceal it, say that you have not encountered a problem as a problem, and then there will be a succession of investigations, if there is fraud, it will definitely be doubled, I hope you also understand." Lin Yu also admonished, and still had such an attitude towards this.
Although it is not up to Lin Yu to arbitrarily reduce the amount of rent collected, but now that he is in charge of this matter, he must have such a decision for so long, and he can't ask for the opinion of King Xian when he encounters a problem, and then inform him of it.
"Thank you, Lord Changshi, we definitely don't dare to lie, we have indeed encountered such difficulties, we dare to guarantee it." The people who came also said together.
"Okay, since you are so sincere, then you can implement it according to what I just said, but you also have to make a guarantee to show that you have indeed encountered such a problem, and Xiao Wu also needs to record it separately, and then it is good to conduct inspections." Lin Yu instructed him to decide such a thing.
"Understood." Xiao Wu said.
"We dare to make a guarantee, please rest assured." The people who came also said together.
"Okay, then arrange and deal with it like this, and if the people behind encounter such a problem, they will also deal with it in this way." Lin Yu instructed like this, and he also had such a decision on this, anyway, he was not afraid of any problems encountered in the middle, and he could have a reason to explain this reason to King Xian, after all, this was the impact of the rebels, and the tenants could not bear the losses.
