Chapter 52 Rent Reduction

Qin Han told Gong Zisong about recruiting people, and the two of them could only wait and see, and this matter was all over.

Coming out of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, the sky was already very dark, there were no street lights, and the two could only walk in black.

Gong Zisong returned to the restaurant, and Qin Han secretly returned to the Chu Mansion.

There is no light in the Chu Mansion anymore, and it is estimated that he has fallen asleep. Qin Han carefully called out the door and walked in lightly, until Qin Han took off his clothes and got into the bed, he let out a long breath.

……

After eating breakfast, Qin Han left Chu Luoning from time to time, and found nothing abnormal before calming down.

"Is there something wrong with me today?" Chu Luoning touched his face and asked in surprise.

Qin Han hurriedly waved his hand and said. "It's okay, it's okay."

……

After breakfast, Li Cunxin took a middle-aged man to Chu Mansion.

Li Cunxin pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and introduced. "This time, Liangshan, the guard of Tuntian, belongs to Feng'an, this is Deng Yunxing, the chief bookkeeper of the county, and Deng will go to Liangshan with us to enclose."

Deng Yunxing had already heard about Qin Han before he came, and some time ago he only heard Wang Xianling say that he was just the son-in-law of an old friend's family, and it had only been a long time before he had become the captain of the eighth grade.

Deng Yunxing, as a small official, didn't even have a grade, but Qin Han's official position was much higher than Deng Yunxing's, and Deng Yunxing hurriedly made a move. "The little official Deng Yunxing has seen the captain."

Qin Han waved his hand, still a little uncomfortable with the identity of a civil servant in Dajin. "Master Deng get up quickly, you don't have to see the outside like this."

"Yes, sir."

Qin Han and Chu Luoning spoke, then carried the official seal, and took Wang Xiaoming and Da Niu out of the gate of Chu Mansion with Li Cunxin.

The beggars' affairs were almost busy, Wang Xiaoming and Da Niu were also called back by Qin Han, Qin Han remembered that Li Cunxin said that there were fifty soldiers drawn from the border army in Tuntian together.

Qin Han didn't believe that his half-people who had been fighting Tai Chi for a while could shock these people who had been on the battlefield, so it was more reliable to bring Wang Xiaoming and the others.

There were three tall horses at the door, and Li Cunxin and Deng Yunxing turned over, leaving Qin Han stunned.

The matter of Tuntian should not be delayed, and it is impossible for Deng Yunxing to hang around here with the two of them all the time, Li Cunxin looked at Qin Han, who was still standing, and urged. "Why are you stunned, get on the horse, I picked this for you."

"Inside, I don't know how to ride a horse."

Li Cunxin said. "It's okay, this horse is a wooden horse, it's more docile, if you go up, he can take you away."

Qin Han looked at the horse that was a head taller than himself, and swallowed his saliva. "Inside, just three horses, Xiao Ming and Da Niu can't walk with them, let's take a carriage and follow you."

Without waiting for Li Cunxin to speak again, Qin Han directly asked Xiao Ming to bring the carriage.

The horse pulling the carriage was one size smaller than the one pulled by Li Cunxin, but it was much more docile, Qin Han smoothed the horse's mane and got into the carriage.

"Let's go."

Seeing Qin Han get into the carriage, Li Cunxin spread his hands helplessly, it seemed that he had to find an opportunity to ask him to ride a horse.

"Let's go, drive!"

Two fast horses with a carriage drove out of the city.

……

Qin Han didn't expect that the road leading to Liangshan turned out to be an official road, and the official road of the Great Jin Dynasty was also smooth, and it could reach the width of three cars in parallel, although there were inevitably loess formations along the way, but there were no bumps.

When he arrived at the place and got off the horse, Master Deng took a few people to check the scope of Tuntian.

Emperor Jin still attached great importance to the matter of Tuntian, Qin Han did not expect that Emperor Jin would allocate hundreds of acres of land to Tuntian.

The land is leaning against the foot of Liangshan Mountain, next to a relatively wide river, so it is a pity that such a place near the mountains and rivers is not used to build houses.

The fields are not only dry land, there are dozens of acres of paddy fields near the river, and the thick silt looks very fertile, and the rice seeds in Qin Han's hands have a provenance.

After confirming the scope of Tuntian, Master Deng came over with a few figures. In the distance, there was a group of people with yellow hair hanging down, and people of all ages were watching from afar.

Lao Yutou heard yesterday that the land on this side of Liangshan had become the house of the Liangshan Hundred Households, and all the tenants who rented this land were equivalent to changing the owners again.

Lao Yu sent someone to keep an eye early in the morning, and as long as he saw the county's master book, he came over to know everyone.

As the oldest among all the people and the old man who had rented this land for the longest time, he brought a few tenants who also had some prestige to Qin Han and the others.

Since it has become a hundred households, then the main ones have become those Qiu Ba, looking at the tall two, the old man Yu was a little afraid, and said in a trembling voice.

"Two military masters, I, I am a tenant here, I heard that the land has changed masters, and these people who are digging in the soil for food, so they recommended me to ask the military master, can this land be rented in the future."

Qin Han originally thought that there were only himself and others in this field, but he didn't expect that there were still many tenants, but also, relying on his own more than 50 people, hundreds of acres of land could not be cultivated to death.

"Uncle, it turns out what is the situation here?"

Lao Yutou pointed to most of the land that was far away from the river and relatively farther away, and said. "Master Huijun, this piece was originally rented and planted by us, and those paddy fields and dry fields by the river were all kept by the original owner's family."

Qin Han had already walked with Deng Yunxing just now, and the land rented by those tenants was far less fertile than the land near the river.

"Uncle, how did you collect rent?"

Hearing Qin Han ask, Old Man Yu replied seriously. "Master Jun, the original master is generous, and he only has to pay 30% of the rent every year, which is half a percent less than the outside households."

As Qin Han expected, the rent paid by these tenants was indeed in a very high position, otherwise there would not have been a great drought that would have displaced so many people and famine everywhere.

"All the tenants originally rented land for planting, and it will still be this in the future, and from today onwards, the rent will be halved, and it will be enough to pay one and a half percent."

Qin Han looked at Li Cunxin, Li Cunxin shook his shoulder, indicating that he had no opinion.

Old Yu cleared his ears, I heard it right just now, these military masters said that they only charge one and a half percent of the rent. Old man Yu looked at the few people who came with him, and found that several of them were also sluggish, so he realized that he had heard correctly.

Old Yu knelt on the ground with a puff, two lines of turbid tears flowed from his dim old eyes, and he gave a big salute to Qin Han. "The master is really kind-hearted, this half of the rent, the little old man has never heard of it, the master is really a good man."

Qin Han was taken aback by Old Yu's movements, and after reacting, he hurriedly helped him up. "Uncle, please hurry up, I can't afford such a big gift."

Although Lao Yu had tears on his head, he was indeed smiling. "Where is the master, when it becomes, when it becomes.

Please also ask the master to give Xiao Lao'er a period of time, those mud legs are still waiting for Xiao Lao'er's news, please let Xiao Lao'er go over and talk back. ”

Qin Han nodded, and Lao Yu touched his tears, grinning and running towards the crowd in the distance.

Old man Yu was not only happy, but also hopeful. This year's grain has just been sown, and this year only 10 percent of the rent will be paid, and the family will be able to save a lot of more grain when the autumn harvest is completed.
