It's just ten taels of silver, in exchange for the loyalty of a strong man, which is worth it, and more importantly, having this man as an example will plant a seed for these men, telling them that they have made a promise.

Zhang Zhen's approach at this time, there is a kind of artistic conception of buying horse bones, and the effect is also obvious, other people are eager even if they retreat, Zhang Zhen believes that the grain output in the coming year will come out, and he will climb to the heights, even if these people are not cornered, there will always be a part of them who will follow them.

In addition to Li Erniu, Zhang Zhen recruited forty more peasants, most of whom were about 30 men.

This is also the result of Zhang Zhen asking Xia Zhongyong, who let himself have seven or eight acres of wheat, look at the growth, the yield is not high, it is about 5,000 catties, 30 catties of grain per mu, only about 170 acres, four acres of land per person, can also ensure the yield.

Others don't have Li Erniu's treatment, Zhang Zhen dictated, Xia Zhongyong wrote, and soon wrote down a document, transcribed it as it was, and each of the forty men had one copy, and Zhang Zhen also had forty-one more documents in his hand.

It is written in the document that Zhang Zhen gave each person an advance of three taels of silver, and after the wheat was harvested, he would settle it from the tenant rent, and if the harvest exceeded five stones, it would be exempted directly! Workers who go out of the river during the slack period are 30 yuan a day, settled on the same day, and have two meals.

It is surprising enough to be able to take out more than a hundred taels of silver to advance to the tenants at once, and hearing this has already made many people's hearts moved, this is more than five stone harvest and exempts the arrears of three taels of silver, isn't this equivalent to giving it in vain?

Many people have regretted it, why didn't they grit their teeth and follow the farming?

Thirty wen a day for river workers? Same-day settlement? Do you still have two meals? Even on the dock, there is no such treatment!

A strong man like Li Erniu who can be ranked on the dock has a salary of 30 yuan a day, and the kind that doesn't care about food, and there are even fewer others.

"This young master, do you want to be a tenant, the small one is also powerful, and there are brothers and mothers-in-law at home to help, and when the farm is busy, seven or eight people can be called to help, and the young master's harvest will definitely not be missed." Someone asked, and this question also asked the hearts of many people.

"Thank you for this brother's love!" Zhang Zhen clenched his fists and smiled: "There are so many grains for this, I want to collect more people, the key is that there are no seeds!" ”

"Young master, if you have the silver, just collect some grain, and we don't need the silver in advance, just go out of the river to work!" Someone instigated it.

"Collect more?" Zhang Zhen blinked his eyes and said to himself, think about it, I don't know how to hybridize the grain varieties in this later life, why don't you try to grow it with the wheat in the current world and see if you can hybridize? Try it in a test field.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhang Zhen smiled: "Okay, I'll collect another thousand catties of grain seeds, and collect more than a dozen people!" ”

The responders were enthusiastic, and the men who were already shirtless to show off their strength became bodybuilding experts one by one, and those who threw their arms and legs almost started fighting, and finally Zhang Zhen accepted twenty more heroes, and then there were those who instigated them, and they didn't listen to them.

Zhang Zhen put on a circle and said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, I really have little capital and can't afford to hire more people, if you are interested, please be early in the coming year!" ”

"If I don't have land to plant, can I go out of the river to work? I bring my own head with a basket, take care of the rice, and I can do it for ten cents a day! "I asked if there was a competition.

Zhang Zhen thought about it and smiled: "Cheng!" But this will wait until my grain is planted, and it will be posted at the door of my store at that time, so please pay attention! ”

"Okay!!" There was a cheer, these men cheered, and when the grain went down, the canal was not far from freezing, and it would be better to earn a little family in winter, which was really good news, and this cheer was also from the bottom of my heart.

Finally stabilizing the men, Zhang Zhen smiled and asked: "Everyone, I am also a newcomer, dare to ask if there are any fields sold around here?" I pay a high price, and it must be not far from the canal, preferably two hundred acres in one. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I know that Zhao Qingqiu in our village has just won the lift, and he is selling his field to buy an official in Beijing, his field is on the edge of the canal, and there are more than 300 acres, young master, do you want to collect a few more people? Just count me in, right? ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Okay, you follow the vegetables, you can't just eat steamed buns, you need another twenty, absolutely no more." ”

In the end, three times before and after, Zhang Zhen signed eighty-one men, and the documents in Liu's hands were all in a pile.

These eighty-one heroes also gave Zhang Zhen a rich reward, and in the end, there were nine founding generals, counting those who died in battle, there were thirteen generals, all of whom were loyal and brilliant.

It was agreed that the others would go to the new store at the West Wharf tomorrow to receive the silver and divide the land, Zhang Zhen took the five people away, except for the man from Zhao Qingtong Village, and Li Erniu, this guy is also upright, and he has to follow him alive and dead.

Out of Nanyang Town, go five miles to the southeast, and you will arrive at Wanghu Village, where Zhao Qing is located.

That Zhao Qing was in high school in his thirties, thinking that as long as he entered the official career, he would be able to rise to the top, enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and he was very arrogant, plus Zhang Zhen was also generous, Zhao Qing bid, Zhang Zhen did not counteroffer, seeing Zhang Zhen so good, Zhao Qing directly sold the house to Zhang Zhen for three hundred taels.

After seeing the fields, this Zhao Qing was more anxious than Zhang Zhen, like a magic barrier, so he told his family to pack up his things at that time, and took Zhang Zhen directly to the town to handle the transfer procedures, I was afraid that he would have to pack up his things overnight and enter Beijing early tomorrow morning.

And Zhang Zhen's actions also spread rapidly after he left Nanyang Town, and when he came back from Wanghu Village, there were already many people paying attention to his group along the way, and it was not a treatment at all when he came in for the first time, and after he took people over, people were even more discussed.

Zhao Qing, who was riding a donkey, thought that people were paying attention to themselves, and he was even more arrogant, and he was more determined to enter Beijing, and his heart also flew to the capital, and he almost grew wings and flew into Beijing.

Zhang Zhen's reputation has not yet reached the ears of the government, but fortunately, he has face in the yamen, Zhang Zhen went back to his store and took out the silver from the industrial park.

After pressing the handprint, 300 acres of land was in hand, Zhang Zhen sighed in his heart, he finally became a landlord, and the people of the world are waiting to drop their jaws! Let's see how much capacity we have in our fields!

Zhang Zhen agreed to give the silver in the store the next day, which was also a bit of a deterrent.

Early in the morning, there were more than 80 big men guarding in front of a shop at the entrance of the wharf, not to mention that the people were worried, and the people in the inspection department were nervous.

I came up and asked, knowing that it was the tenant who reported to the owner and waited for the division of the land, so I was a little relieved, it was good to be a landlord, and there would be no rebellion if there was food and drink, let alone a family business.

But there are too many of them, and they are all so strong, why are there still coolies on the dock inside? After years of famine, don't you carry a sack on the dock and run to farm? This is a lack of heart!

The patrol officers smiled secretly in their hearts, of course, they were more at ease, and instructed, 'It's okay to farm with peace of mind, don't make trouble!' He continued his rounds.
