Chapter 509: Car Steward
After hearing Hong Domi say this, Huang Tiandi understood what was going on.
The landlord specially uses such a housekeeper, mainly for the sake of reputation, a collection of rent by these housekeepers every year, the amount of land rent is right, if it is said that there is a disaster year, then these housekeepers are unlucky, they have to get together the land rent, handed over to the landlord, for the landlord is drought and flood to ensure income.
Second, if the landlords go down to collect the rent in person, then no matter what, they will encounter difficult households, and in this case, do you say that the landlord has to collect the land rent, or reduce the land rent of the difficult households!
If the landlord is more serious, you planted my field and handed me the land rent, this is a matter of course, if you have difficulties, it is your business, you can solve it yourself, but you must pay the field rent.
If the landlord does this, then he will be scolded as a black-hearted landlord, a bully with no humanity and no conscience.
The landlord definitely doesn't want to be scolded, so he simply finds an agent like the steward of the field, and lets the steward do everything that offends people.
That's what the rich man Wang did, and his family also hired such a housekeeper, this housekeeper's surname was Che, because he was also born poor, and he didn't have an official name, so everyone called him the car butler.
After decades of struggle, he has really saved a lot of money, and he even has land in several nearby counties, including more than 1,000 acres of land in Qianfeng County.
The more than 1,000 acres of land also include the 300 acres of good land for the guys, and these fields are handed over to the car steward to take care of them, and the car steward takes care of them quite well.
Of course, for the rich man Wang, the car steward takes care of it quite well, which means that no matter what the year is, whether the harvest in the field is good or not, the car steward can always hand over the pre-agreed land rent to him, and has never forced people to die.
For the rich man Wang, this is enough, so he has never had the idea of replacing the car steward, and the car steward has been doing the same.
But because a few days ago, when the rich man Wang said that he would give the guy 300 acres of fertile land, he suddenly had a temporary idea, and he had not discussed it with the car steward before and after, of course, this is because the land and property are all owned by the rich man, and he does not need to discuss anything with the car steward.
However, the property was given out, and the guy got it, so the car steward naturally wanted to meet the guy, after all, this is the new owner.
However, after seeing the man, the car steward was stupid, because the man didn't plan to use the car steward anymore, and the three hundred acres of land were just three hundred acres of land, and the man could take care of it.
The man used to be a destitute man who had no land, but now that he finally has a land, he must be very close, and it is impossible and unnecessary for him to contract these fields to the car steward, so it is very natural that he will not cooperate with the car steward anymore.
This made the car steward lose a large amount of income out of thin air, and of course he was not satisfied, because the 300 acres of land that the rich man Wang gave to his man was the best good land, the most grain harvesting, and the most profitable field.
Now that the man has taken back the property, can the car steward be willing, don't look at the car steward in the countryside, the tenants in the countryside are afraid of him, but in fact, he will be a different appearance in front of the rich people, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, but it is a regular performance to curry favor.
The fields in Qianfeng County and several nearby counties basically have their own stewards, and even if there are no stewards like him on some fields, it is because the landlords do not want to use them, and this kind of thing cannot be forced.
So in this case, the car steward has lost the income of 300 mu, which is really enough for him to feel heartache, unless he raises the field rent of other fields, otherwise, there is no way to get back this difference.
The car steward did things quite simply, he immediately raised the land rent for the tenants of the rich man's family, as for whether those tenants would be miserable and whether life would be difficult, he didn't care!
The land is not his, the tenant is not his, he cares about what he needs, he only cares about the lack of money, and this is the most important thing.
And the car steward uses this as an excuse to charge more land rent, not only can make up for the 300 acres of income he has lost, but also make a little more, if the tenants want to blame, then blame the guy, who let the guy no longer use him as the steward of the field!
In fact, the car steward really hoped that the rich man Wang could talk to him about this matter, and at this time he could complain greatly, saying that he was also forced to be helpless, and he really couldn't live his life.
If he can take down this forest farm, then not only can he make up for the income of 300 acres, but also make a lot of money, which is much more cost-effective than raising the rent for those tenants who are bitter.
Of course, what does the car butler think specifically? What kind of plans are there? Hong Domi must not know, but he does know one thing, that is, the car steward cares more about him asking for food, and he has no way to go to the rich man to plead.
Because the reason why the rich man hired the car steward was to prevent people like Hong Domi from looking for him, even if Hong Domi went to find the rich man, the rich man Wang would push the matter to the car steward.
The rich man will not agree to anything, because as long as he agrees once, then this kind of thing will continue to happen in the future, and as long as he does not agree once, then the bad reputation will come immediately.
People with rich experience like Rich Wang are very clear, there are many people in this world, they don't necessarily think of your goodness, usually you are useless to them, but as long as you treat them badly once, it will be over, just like this, you can make them hate you to the core, and even become enemies.
The reason why Rich Man Wang can be so developed, from a poor man to a rich man, of course he can't be a bad person, he sees many things very clearly, so Rich Man Wang may fire the car steward, but he will definitely not agree to Hong Duomi's request, this is the principle of doing things.
Now Hongdomi is equivalent to calling the heavens and the earth to be spiritual, what can he do? I can only run to find Huang Tiandi.
Hondomi gave a general account of how he had come, although it was not very comprehensive, because there were some things that he did not know.
But Huang Tiandi listened very clearly after brain supplementation, this kind of thing is actually nothing difficult to think about, isn't it just that Hong Domi wants to pay less food, just such a big thing.
But Huang Tiandi thought: "Can this kind of thing be litigated?" It doesn't seem like there's a lawsuit, after all, if this Hong Domi thinks that the rent is too high, he can not rent it at all, what's there to sue for!
However, I have the ability to write a statement indiscriminately, but if I really go to the lobby to fight a lawsuit, I don't have this ability, so it's better to let my son-in-law think about it and see if I can use it, not to mention anything else, at least the money in front of me for the fortune telling, I have to get it in my hands first. ”
