Looking at the fate of the county lieutenant Zhang Jin, you can know that the dignified county lieutenant was tied up and thrown on the side of the road.

I am just a little master, how dare I persuade him?

And with Xie Jing's temperament, if this receipt is used as proof, I will be miserable!

It's just that I don't know how Hou Shigui has this means?

Could it be that there is a master behind it?

Wang Hou is also a smart person, and he understands that he has been tied to Hou Shigui's boat, so it is better to ...... than to reluctantly provoke both sides to displease him

"Since the son is called, why don't you take me to see the son soon? Don't you dare to keep your son waiting! ”

Seeing that Wang Hou's attitude changed quickly, but in the blink of an eye, Xiang Xu also admired this guy's cheekiness.

When he was brought to the Hou Mansion, he saw Huang Jianyuan walking out of his son-in-law's room angrily.

Xiang Xu didn't care, and after letting Wang Hou enter the house, he waited outside the house with Bao Ji.

It didn't take long for the two of them to hear an exclamation from inside the house:

"It's a head-scratching thing! Childe, this ...... This is unacceptable! ”

Then it seemed that Childe said something again, and the thick voice was quieter again.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Lu Xing'an led a group of squires and tyrants dressed in fancy clothes to walk here.

Entering the house, seeing that Xie Jing's confidant Wang Hou was also there, the squires didn't think it was so strange.

After all, only a few people know about the dirtiness that Xie Jing and Hou Shigui have only seen, how can these squires know where to go?

After everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, Hou Shigui went straight to the topic:

"Linben suffered this catastrophe, not only the people suffered, but also the small households in our family are not one in ten, and next year's life will be difficult."

All of you present are rich people.

As soon as Hou Shigui's voice fell, everyone had already heard what he meant.

The population outside the county was either killed or taken captive, and the number of Dingkou was less than half of what it used to be.

This bit of population is not enough for farming, let alone doing other things?

Today's son called me to come, did he want to sell the artifact he invented?

The eyes of the people lit up, and they all bowed their hands, and they wept in gratitude:

"Childe, don't you want to sell the new farm tools to solve this urgent need?"

Hou Shigui wanted to sell it, but since his mother came back, he kept it as a family heirloom.

If it weren't for his own persuasion, it is estimated that even his own small households would not be able to use this new farm tool, let alone these outsiders?

After denying the matter, seeing that the big guy seemed to be disappointed, Hou Shigui said:

"I invited you here today to discuss with you, since your family is deserted, why don't you rent it to my house?"

I don't want Hou Shigui to stir up a thousand waves with one word:

"What? Isn't the little boy joking with us? ”

"Is this what Madame means or does Little Boy mean?"

"Even if the fields of our ancestors rot in our hands, we must not let others cultivate them!"

Looking at this indignant appearance, Hou Shigui smiled lightly and explained:

"You misunderstood, I just want to rent your acres, not to buy, the price is negotiable."

"That's not going to work either!"

Immediately, an old man in his fifties objected:

"All families and clans, the acres of land have always only rented small households, signed a long-term contract, and your Hou family rents my family's land? What is this statement? ”

Rent a small household, sign a long-term contract?

I'm afraid it's renting a slave and signing a deed of sale, right?

In the current practice of renting land to small households, the practice is to divide it into eighty-two.

The acres are harvested, the main family takes eight, and the small household takes two, but this has to meet the master with a conscience.

In Xiling, most of the main families take nine, and the small households take one.

When you meet some black-hearted people, even the main family takes ten, and only gives a mouthful of soup to the fine family every day to hang for your life.

What is the difference between a small household and a slave?

He also understood that the reason why these people didn't want to rent the land to themselves was, of course, that it was impossible for them to take only one, but if they were allowed to take less, they would not do it.

Seeing that everyone was unhappy, Hou Shigui also sneered:

"Hey, do you want to say it? Master Wang, I'm tired. ”

Wang Hou coughed lightly and stood up from his position:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am a ...... On the orders of the county honor, please ...... in your hands"

After Wang Houyang finished talking about Hou Shigui's nonsense, everyone in the room suddenly couldn't sit still:

"How can this be true? Hou Shigui, you actually hooked up with Xie Jing and plotted to seize my family's property! Fool me into having no one in the court?! ”

"The surname Hou, don't think that your family can cover the sky with one hand in Linben!

In the past, you did nonsense, we turned a blind eye, but today you dare to touch our foundation, and the reason why the fish died and the net was broken? ! ”

The old man simply waved his hand:

"You don't have to say much to this kid, let's go directly to the county government to find that Xie Jing and ask for an explanation!"

Hearing this, Wang Hou's legs and stomach were weak, and if it weren't for Hou Shigui beside him, he would have fallen to the ground.

How good is that? How good is that!

If these people are allowed to find the county honor, their lives will be explained.

Why did the little boy come up with such a bad move? Miserable me!

When Wang Hou was secretly anxious, the old man did not relent:

"Hou Shigui, can you really think about going against us?"

Hou Shigui raised his hand and made a gesture of please:

"Sit down and listen to me."

The old man waved his hand, looking impatient:

"I don't have much to say to you! Summoning your family!

Since you have the heart of this thief to do this thief thing, but you use your milky yellow-mouthed child to perfunctory us, isn't the Hou family no longer respectful? ”

Hou Shigui was not angry, but said politely:

"I just want to rent the acres of land for a few years, and I will pay as much rent as you have harvested last year.

Why did Zhang Lao speak ill of him? ”

As soon as Hou Shigui's words came out, everyone was shocked.

How much grain did he collect last year, and how much rent did he give us? Isn't that ten percent of the master's family, and none of his tenths??

Isn't this yellow-mouthed kid stupid? How to trade at a loss?

Someone thought there was something wrong with their ears and patted their ears with their hands:

"Little boy just said, how much grain was harvested in those acres last year, how much grain will you wait for me, little boy?"

Hou Shigui nodded and said:

"Exactly, if you don't believe it, you can sign a deed with you in the next document. But there is one thing, if the grain grown in the field is higher than the previous year, I can take the excess. ”

What the big guy cares about is Hou Shigui's words in front, and as for his words in the back, no one takes it seriously at all.

Last year's harvest, one acre of land produced 150 catties of grain.

Even if there is a bumper harvest every year in the future, no matter how much grain is produced, how many catties can it produce?

If you sign this contract with the Hou family, it is equivalent to a bumper harvest year every year.

And you don't need to worry about it, you just need to wait for the Hou Mansion to send the grain every year!

How could such a good thing fall on your head?

Especially the old man surnamed Zhang, his eyes were full of suspicion.

I thought to myself, this kid surnamed Hou has a bad stomach, how could he do such a thankless job?

There must be a fraud in it!
