Master Shuqing took out two cups of tea from the room and divided them into two people, Lin Xifeng hurriedly took the tea and thanked him with a smile. 《

"First, the prefect leases it to Lin Gongzi at a price of 200 wen per mu per year, which is ten yuan a year, and these money are temporarily collected by Xihu County, I wonder if Lin Gongzi has any objections?"

Renting the right to use fifty acres of land for a year with ten yuan is indeed not much, but this is just this kind of rocky wasteland, and the fertile land must not be thought about, Lin Xifeng has no opinion on this price, so he nodded with a smile: "No problem, do you need a signature?" ”

"Don't worry about Lin Gongzi, wait for me to tell you about the prefect's second thoughts, and then you can make a decision!" Liu Wen waved his hand, did not answer his question, and laughed to himself.

Lin Xifeng looked at Liu Wen's smile that seemed to be confident, and understood that he must have felt that he would choose the second suggestion, and couldn't help but wonder: "Please also say it clearly, ...... adults."

Liu Wen smiled and paused, and then thought about the language a little before saying: "In fact, the prefect is afraid of a natural disaster, the harvest of the field will be affected, if it is unfortunate that there is a catastrophe, the crops may not be harvested, and then the son will lose all his money, so the adult does not want to collect cash, but collect a small part of the harvest of the field, if the annual harvest is 1,000 catties, the son only needs to hand over 100 catties." ”

"What if the crops are not harvested?"

"Not only does the prince not have to hand over the grain, but the prefect will also give the son half of the upfront expenses, such as grain and other expenses, to minimize the loss of the childe, how about it? Isn't the second option better? Liu Wen took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Well......" Lin Xifeng rubbed his head lightly, pretending to be contemplative, and said after a while: "Then choose the first condition!" ”

In fact, Lin Xifeng didn't mean to think about it at all, he had already made a decision, although the second condition seemed to be good, which could minimize his losses, but in terms of interests, the more he harvested, the more he needed to hand over, compared with the first condition's fixed payment income, it was obviously not cost-effective.

As for catching up with the once-in-a-century catastrophe, this probability is too small, if it is really unlucky, Lin Xifeng will not care about the early investment, and in order to get the most generous return, he is naturally willing to choose the first condition, the harvest of the crops to the government, at present, he is definitely not very willing.

"What?" Liu Wen swallowed the tea in his mouth with a grunt, and his two eyes were as big as copper bells: "Son, you have to think twice!" This second condition is obviously better than the first, let's assume that the yield of one mu of land is two hundred catties, fifty mu is ten thousand catties, and one thousand catties need to be handed over to the government...... On this basis, only when the harvest reaches more than 13,000 catties, it is cost-effective to choose the first condition, but this is not insurance, not insurance......"

Liu Wen's calculation is really good, the grain output of the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the modern thousands of catties per mu, only more than 200 catties, and the harvest can barely reach 300 catties, in his opinion, the kind of wasteland rented by Lin Xifeng can collect 200 catties is good, and according to this output calculation, the first condition is obviously not cost-effective.

Lin Xifeng naturally didn't think so, although he was not sure that the output of grain would reach 1,000 catties, but more than 600 catties should still be possible, and as long as the output reached 300 catties, the second condition was cost-effective, of course he would not ask for the first condition, and said with a smile: "Don't persuade your lord, it has been decided in the next place, so let's follow the first condition!" ”

"Lin Gongzi, you ......" Liu Wen couldn't help but stretch out his finger and pointed at him, sighing extremely helplessly, since Lin Xifeng chose the first condition, he must be sure to increase the yield to more than three hundred catties, this Liu Wen is very clear, but he can't understand that only in a bumper harvest year, can fertile land reach this yield, how can that wasteland be comparable to fertile land?

"Alright, sir, hurry up and sign the note! Later, I will go home and get ten pieces of money and give it to you. Lin Xifeng ignored Liu Wen's expression and laughed loudly.

"Alas...... Shuqing, go and take out the prefect's approval and ask Lin Gongzi to sign and press his handprint, but Lin Gongzi doesn't have to worry about this ten yuan, and it is not too late to hand it over when the crops are harvested next year. ”

"Thank you, sir." Lin Xifeng smiled and snapped it.

On the way back, Lin Xifeng walked on the shore of the West Lake, and saw that there were many more people on the West Lake than before, there were thousands of people, wandering between the two embankments of Subai, enjoying the lake and pulling the willows and hibiscus, and some people drove a small boat to row to the lonely mountain in the lake, moored at the lake, and walked on the broken bridge ashore, overlooking the rippling blue waves under the bridge.

From time to time, passers-by chanted the poem "A few lovesick sentences in the heart, if you don't meet Xizi pen", Lin Xifeng kept shaking his head and chuckling, looking at these extremely unfamiliar faces, he didn't think that he was a native of Xihu County, it should be his "untitled" poem about West Lake, and many people came to West Lake again.

At this moment, Lin Xifeng couldn't help but have a small idea in his heart, if the West Lake is built into a scenic spot, if you want to come to see the West Lake, you have to pay the entrance fee, with the future influence of his poem, there will be more and more people who come here, and at that time, the income will not be uproaring.

However, West Lake is a public property, and now he naturally can't be the master, and after thinking about it a little, he will put it to the back of his mind, and there are two things to deal with in front of him, one is the business of the winery after drinking, and the other is the reclamation of wasteland.

The first thing is that he doesn't have to think about it, he will sell it when the wine is out, he is not worried about the market of the wine shop at all, as for the second thing, it has to be considered a little, Shuqing has already taken a few pawns to measure the wasteland under Liu Wen's arrangement, and he can draw the approximate scope of the wasteland on paper tomorrow and hand it to him, that is, the construction can start tomorrow.

Lin Xifeng naturally won't go to the reclamation with his own hands, he doesn't have so much free time, so he has to recruit tenant farmers in front of him, and it costs money to recruit tenant farmers, Lin Xifeng filtered the income before and after, including the Liu family's spoon, the income from selling wine to the Liu family, the income from the market tavern, and the income from selling moon cakes a few days ago, etc., the total amount of money is about one hundred and forty.

A few days ago, it cost about 30 guan to buy sake brewing facilities, as well as glutinous rice, wheat and rice, and so on, but now there are 110 guan left in hand, which is more than enough for tenant farmers.

Regarding this matter, Lin Xifeng also had a general idea in his heart, not so much that he wanted to rent tenant farmers, but that he wanted to dig up all the tenant farmers of Cheng Shizhang's family, he has recently gained more and more prestige in Xihu County, this matter is not difficult, plus Cheng Shizhang is mean to tenant farmers on weekdays, which has already caused strong dissatisfaction among tenant farmers, but they are forced to make a living, they have to succumb to Cheng Shizhang's authority.

Now, as long as Lin Xifeng comes forward and adds two layers to the wages of the tenant farmers, the tenant farmers will inevitably come to him in every call, and at that time, Cheng Shizhang will have a difficult birth.

Thinking of this, Lin Xifeng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and walked quickly towards the tavern in the market.
