Feng Yi didn't know how Wang Sanshou made the Liu family promise ten yuan for one acre of land, but after signing the note, he quickly handed over Sancheng's money to Wang Sansian, as long as he could get the land, as for other things, it was none of his business, although he felt a little guilty when he saw the Liu family finally fleeing in the wilderness, but I don't know how many are worse than them, and the Liu family is not a good person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Little Lori was happy, and looked at Feng Yi's eyes without blinking: "Is the land around the young master ours?" ”

"That's right, I've already gone to the county government to report." Feng Yi looked at the title deed in his hand and was very satisfied. I am also a vested interest class of this dynasty, and my sense of identity with the Dahua Dynasty seems to have risen a lot, the only unhappiness is that the money in my pocket is about to be spent, and I don't know when the dividend of the money shopkeeper will arrive.

"Have you notified those people who originally farmed for the Liu family?" Feng Yi looked at the ground in front of him, and he was also a little helpless. Nearly 200 acres of land, how can these two people in the family plant it. And now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Feng Yi has spent nearly two hundred taels more for the rice that is about to be harvested in this field.

"Yes, we've been informed. It turned out that there were thirteen families who helped the Liu family farm the land, all of whom came from outside to settle in Hexi Village in recent years, because they were from outside, and now the government has no land to distribute to them, so they can only help the Liu family farm, and I notified them last night. Little Lori also remembered her own home, it turned out that she was also helping other people's families farm, and she couldn't eat an explosion at the end of her hard work every year, so she couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Young master, can we charge a little less land rent, they have discussed with the Liu family about this year's tenant rent."

Feng Yi looked at the little Lori's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and couldn't help but smile with relief. Although Xiao Lori hopes to have a lot of land and grow a lot of food, but in the end, she is a child of a poor family, and she knows that it is not easy for a farmer, so she can only gently knock on Little Lori's head, and has the intention to tease her and say: "I know, little girl, you are kind-hearted, don't you want a lot of food, and if you don't harvest much, you won't have a lot of food!" ”

When Xiao Lori heard Feng Yi say this, she was also very embarrassed, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on her original opinion.

"As long as the young master is willing to charge a little less land rent, Xiao Chi has nothing to do, it's a big deal that Xiao Chi will only eat once a day in the future, not two." Little Lori originally wanted to say one meal, but thinking about it, she is now used to three meals a day, and only eats one meal a day, so she will really be hungry, so she has to reduce it to two.

"Alright, I won't be hungry for you. I have my own opinion on this matter. It won't make everyone unable to pay the rent and hungry. Feng Yi made fun of the little Lori's determined appearance, this girl is so cute.

Soon, the thirteen families who rented Liu's land came. The thirteen families are all from Hexi Village, and everyone can often meet on weekdays, and when they came to the thirteen families of Feng Yi's family, they couldn't believe that the land they rented was changed at the beginning. Yesterday, Xiao Lori asked them to inform them to come to Feng Yi's house today to discuss the future about farming, and they all felt that it was too unbelievable. I didn't expect that the infamous Feng family kid a few days ago would actually become the head of his family, I really don't know if this field will not be able to be planted in the future. The Liu family used to be quite benevolent, only collecting forty percent of the rent, plus twenty percent in the court, and there could be a forty percent harvest after a busy year, at least it could get by, if it was added again, it would really not be able to live. If you leave your hometown, even if you escape to Hangzhou, it will not be easy.

"Fellow villagers, boy, Feng Yi. On weekdays, I don't see you looking up, I think everyone is no stranger to the kid, a few days ago, the Liu family resold the acres of land that everyone rented to me, and today I invite everyone to come to discuss the matter of renting seeds in the future. Feng Yi stood in the courtyard, looked at the three people in front of him, old and young, male and female, and said.

Among the thirteen people, after hearing Feng Yi's words, they each started to discuss, Feng Yi didn't speak, just let them discuss, and after a while, one of them pushed out the oldest person inside.

"Master Feng, I wonder if we can still rent this field in the future?" The old man who was pushed out, surnamed Song, is in his sixties, rents 20 acres of land from the Qian family, and has two sons at home, and the family mainly relies on three men to support a large family.

"Uncle Song, it's too polite, everyone is a villager, this old man Feng can't stand it, besides, I'm so young, you always call me that, doesn't this mean that I want to lose my life?" Feng Yi didn't dare to stand the old man's voice, the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young was always in Feng Yi's heart, and Feng Yi didn't have the idea of being superior to others in his heart, as for the little Lori calling him the young master, there was just no way to resist it, just let him call. Everyone just has a different division of labor, but they are equal in personality, otherwise they would have been born in vain in New China and grew up under the red flag, wasting so many years of equal education.

Uncle Song was also stunned when he heard Feng Yi say this, he didn't expect Feng Yi to say this, he had seen a lot of people in his life, but he had never seen someone so polite to his tenants. Therefore, I don't know how to speak well.

"Uncle Song, you have also watched me grow up since I was a child, don't call me lord or anything, everyone is from the township, and the kid doesn't seem to be in love, so you can call me a Feng family boy." Feng Yi saw that Uncle Song was embarrassed, so he could only open his mouth to be relieved.

"How this makes, how it makes. Since Master Feng said so, the old man will call Da Lang based on his age. Uncle Song saw that Feng Yi's words were sincere and not like a hypocrisy, so he no longer shirked.

However, as soon as Feng Yi heard Da Lang's words, his head was covered with black lines, and he complained in his heart.

"Uncle Song, you are really an uncle, I am alone in my family, where did I come from. It's good that I don't have the surname Wu, otherwise I would really have to ask if there is a person named Jin Lian in your family. ”

"Uncle Song, depending on where you say, let's call Da Lang. I called you here today just to ask what everyone and the Liu family said at the beginning, and it is better to set up a charter in the future. But don't worry, the land is still planted by everyone, who planted it in the past, who planted it now, as long as it waits for each family to set a note. Although speechless, Feng Yi still had to accept the name Da Lang, and it was tears when he thought about it.

"We used to set a rent of forty percent with the Liu family, but now that the autumn harvest is approaching, I don't know if Feng Dalang is the same as the Liu family." Uncle Song, seeing Feng Yi speaking kindly, he also let go of his heart a lot. And after Uncle Song said this, the other people in the courtyard also looked at Feng Yi with hope.

"What! Forty percent of the rent! Feng Yi was frightened when he heard this, the situation in the Dahua Dynasty in recent years is not very good, the agricultural tax has long been increased from the twenty taxes at the time of the founding of the country to the current ten taxes, while the commercial tax is still twenty taxes and one, and there is only one transaction tax. The imperial court originally had heavy taxes, and these damn landlords still had to collect so much rent and let people live, Feng Yi really couldn't imagine that in this era when the yield per mu was only about 200 catties, how could the peasants survive with only forty percent of the harvest.

And the other people in the courtyard heard Feng Yi's surprised business, thinking that he was too little, and their hearts sank: "I thought just now that he might be a good master, who knows that it's not a thing." ”

"Master Feng, forty percent of the rent is already a lot. No matter how low the big guy is, he can't survive, and the king's family reaps fifty percent of the rent, because his family's rice fields are the best paddy fields, and what we plant is only low-grade dry land, which cannot be compared. "Uncle Song is also bitter in his heart, he is raising the rent, and he really doesn't know how to live this year. The people in the courtyard looked at Feng Yi and their hearts became heavy, and the little Lori beside Feng Yi also pleaded and pulled Feng Yi's sleeve.

"Young master, there are already a lot of rents in Sicheng, and no matter how much Uncle Song has, they won't be able to live! Xiao Chi will only eat one meal in the future, young master. ”

Feng Yi looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they had misunderstood. I also sighed in my heart. The peasants of China are really the hardest and hardworking people in the world, as long as they can have a bite to eat, they can endure it, but those who are in high positions often can't even let them live. I feel uncomfortable, and I don't know how to solve this problem, so I can only help the people around me as much as I can.

"Everyone misunderstood, I'm not too little, but I didn't expect the rent to be so high, it's just that it's hard to accept it all of a sudden."

"Hey, the year is not good, my own land has been sold, and I have no land and can only rent other people's land. Forty percent is good, and there are sixty percent and seventy percent in the north. "Uncle Song is old, he fled from the north to Hangzhou City when he was young, and he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he can only sigh in his heart. This world is the same, I can only hope that I will meet a good master and give me a way to live.

"Plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn. There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. Originally, Feng Yi thought that the things written in this Tang poem were just descriptions, but now when this kind of thing really happened in front of his eyes, he realized that only every word in it was a drop of blood and tears of farmers.

"Who says it's not, it's hard for a year, but I can just live" Although Uncle Song doesn't know poetry and songs, Feng Yi's words really speak his own thoughts.

The people in the courtyard and the little Lori on the side heard what Feng Yi said, and their hearts were also sad. There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. Isn't that the big guy now? The other twelve people's sense of identity with Feng Yi suddenly rose a lot, and when Xiao Lori heard Feng Yi say this, a big stone fell in her heart: the young master is really still a kind young master. ”

"Autumn has arrived, the rice in the field is about to be harvested, I can't do anything about the taxes to be collected in the court, as for the rent, I will harvest 20% this year. The rest of the people will stay in their own homes for a good year, and the rent in the future will be collected according to 20%. Feng Yi originally just wanted to say Yicheng, but after thinking about it, he couldn't be more selfless than the imperial court, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell if he was covered with a hat that raised people's popularity.

"Xie Feng Langjun, Xie Feng Master, Feng Dalang is benevolent and righteous, Feng Dalang is merciful." As soon as Feng Yi finished speaking, the people in the entire courtyard couldn't believe it, it was really a pie in the sky, and after reacting, they all began to praise it.

"Alright, alright, everyone, don't be on the back. It's all from the villagers, and that's all I can do, and everyone needs to worry about this place in the future, and I can't say that there will be something to trouble everyone in the future. Feng Yi waved his hand, interrupting everyone in the courtyard.

"Since the lease has been discussed, let's make a note later, if someone is too busy to do it, they can also say it, and I will give it to someone else to plant next year." Feng Yi remembered that it seemed that two of the thirteen people had no male laborers in their families.

"Feng Langjun rest assured, we will definitely be able to pay the rent on time." After Feng Yi finished speaking, the Yang family in the crowd stood up. Yang is in his thirties, he also moved from outside, the man in the family was sent to serve the work and rest the year before last, I heard that he died outside, and there is a widow left in the family with the old man and two children, and it is extremely difficult to live by sewing and mending for others on weekdays, and the whole person looks like a person in his forties. Hearing Feng Yi say this, he thought that Feng Yi was going to take back her land, so he immediately came out to promise. It turned out that the housekeeper of the Liu family saw that she looked a little good, so he rented the land to her, but she never agreed. Now that the Liu family is gone, I thought that this land could not be rented to me. Who knew that Feng Yi, the new owner, was so good, and immediately stood up and guaranteed. It was also Feng Yi who looked kind, otherwise the Yang family would not dare to stand up blatantly.

"Aunt Yang, don't worry, I won't take back your land. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to my house to find me. For a woman like Yang, Feng Yi respects it in his heart, and Chinese women are such virtuous.

"In the future, if you can help, you can help Aunt Yang's family." It is not easy for orphans and widows, Feng Yi looked at the courtyard full of grateful people, and the people who praised themselves were also sad.

"Is this a good master's house? The word good lord is so easy to come by, what a damn world. Feng Yi felt panicked in his heart, made a note for everyone, and let people leave, and pulled Xiao Lori into the house by himself. didn't take another look at Lori's admiring eyes. It's as if I'm doing something for these simple people.
