"What...... What the? Wang Laosan stared at a pair of bull's eyes, looked at the young man standing in front of him with surprise and disbelief on his face, stretched out his index finger and plucked out his ears, thinking that he had heard the news behind his ears, and couldn't help but confirm to him again: "Young master, you mean to ...... Give all the crops of the field...... Shoveled? ”

"That's right." Tang Xiu nodded his head indifferently and replied with certainty: "Don't leave any of them, shovel them all." ”

"No way!" Wang Laosan jumped up at once, blushing and glaring at Tang Xiu angrily, "Don't let anyone want to move the crops in the field!" We are all still pointing to the millet in the field to feed our families, and whoever dares to touch those seedlings, I will dare to play with whom! ”

"That's right! Absolutely not! ”

"How can this be? How can such a good crop be......"

Several croppers around Wang Laosan also began to criticize him, and when he looked at Tang Xiu's master and servant, he was looking at him like an idiot.

I have long heard that the young master of the Tang family is not a thing, a loser, a squirrel, and a bad business, but Tang Xiu never went to the countryside before, did not ask about the affairs of the fields, and had little dealings with Wang Laosan and other tenant farmers, and it was none of their business, so they didn't bother to care whether the owner was a loser or not.

But now, their unreliable proprietor has actually hit the idea on the field on which they depend, and a hundred acres of well-growing millet seedlings are to be uprooted, isn't this asking for the lives of these tenant farmers? Absolutely not tolerated!

The harvest of crops is closely related to the interests of these tenant farmers themselves, whether they can share more corn during the autumn harvest, whether they will be hungry half the time during the winter, all have a close relationship with the seedlings in the field now, and now Tang Xiu's words want to destroy all their hopes and sustenance, even if he is the owner and the real owner of this field, Wang Laosan They must resolutely oppose it.

"Wang Laosan!" Tang Xiu didn't speak, Tang Lu came out at the right time and put on a dog-legged posture, "Who are you talking to?" Is this discussing with you, young master? Do you have the qualifications to let the young master deign to come down to consult with you? Don't forget what your identity is, if you don't want to do it, you will all get out of the way with Lao Tzu, and some are tenants who want to come to my Tang family to work! Gave you back your face, didn't you? ”

Tang Lu's roar was full of domineering, which directly shocked Wang Laosan and the others speechless, and stood there tremblingly, not daring to say a word more.

Tang Lu is right, in the final analysis, they are just tenant farmers under the Tang family, they have no qualifications to bargain with the proprietor, really provoke the proprietor, and directly drive them out of Zhuangzi, their life will only be harder in the future, and they may not even be able to drink gruel in winter.

"Young Master." Seeing that Wang Laosan was shocked, Tang Lu bent over to Tang Xiu with a flattering face, and said: "The villain has long said that these people are all cheap bones, you can tell them well that they think you are a bully, and when you treat such a cheap thing, you have to beat and beat them from time to time, and they will feel uncomfortable if they don't scold them." ”

Tang Lu's voice was not loud, but Wang Laosan and the others also happened to be able to hear it, seeing that several tenant farmers were all blushing, Tang Xiu glanced at Tang Lu, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked a smile.

Tang Lu, this kid, it's a pity not to act.

"Young master, it was the villain who was rude before, and here I will make amends to you! You have a lot of adults, don't be like us people. Wang Laosan bent over to apologize to Tang Xiu, and then said to Tang Xiu again with a red face: "Actually, we don't doubt the young master's decision, it's just that this crop is shoveled, and we will ...... in the future."

"Uncle Wang rest assured ......"

"Don't!" As soon as Tang Xiu opened his mouth, Wang Laosan was taken aback, and he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Young master, don't call it that, the villain has a lowly status and can't afford it." You can just call the villain's cheap name! ”

"Okay, Wang Laosan." Tang Xiu didn't entangle with Wang Laosan on this issue, and continued: "The crops are gone, but our fields will not be so idle, and you and these fellow villagers in the village will not be left without work." ”

"I mean," Tang Xiu said in a loud voice, "Starting from this year, I, the Tang Mansion, will sign an employment document with all of you, and in the future, your wages will no longer be limited to the little corn at the autumn harvest every year, but will be paid in cash every month." As long as you work weekdays, the annual wages you receive will be much more than the little corn you receive during the autumn harvest, and the life of your respective families will become better and better. ”

Wang Laosan and the others didn't speak, they all looked at Tang Xiu suspiciously, they had never heard of this new type of cooperation before, and they didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Twenty times!"

Seeing that several people were listless and didn't know why, Tang Xiu decided to stimulate them a little, stretched out two fingers, and said in a fixed voice: "Every month, I will take out twenty yuan as your salary, that is to say, no matter whether the crops in the field are harvested or not, you will have an income of two hundred wen per month for one acre of land." ”

Wang Laosan and several tenants couldn't help but widen their eyes, twenty times, if they all bought corn, it would be enough for their whole village to eat for half a year!

Wang Laosan looked at their young owner with a slight tremble, and asked softly with a little disbelief: "Boss, what you said is true...... It's true? Twenty runs every month?! ”

Tang Xiu nodded and said, "The premise is that you have to obey the arrangements of the mansion!" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Afraid that Tang Xiu would regret it, several people nodded their heads at the same time, looking at Tang Xiu with eager eyes, and now they all felt that maybe it might not be a bad thing to have such a ruined owner.

"One hundred acres of land, subcontracted to households!" Tang Xiu said: "Each household is appropriately distributed according to the number of young and strong laborers. When the crops are harvested each season, the wages of the three households with the highest yield will be doubled, and the wages of the three households with the lowest yield will be halved for that month. ”

"Separate seeds?" Wang Laosan frowned slightly, "Everyone is separated, won't it be much slower to get to work?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own measure." Regarding Wang Laosan's question, Tang Xiu smiled and shook his head, whether a big pot of rice or something would really drag him back, but he didn't need to explain these problems to Wang Laosan now, because time will tell, and now he just needs these tenants to obey his arrangement.

"Yes, young master."

With the temptation of the previous twenty times, Wang Laosan and them are really honest, and no one will have trouble with money, especially these tenant farmers who can't even solve the problem of food and clothing in many cases.

"Alright." Tang Xiu waved his hand at a few people and ordered, "You go now, shovel all the millet seedlings in the field, and turn the field over again." I'll come over tomorrow this time with the paperwork I've written, and we'll sign the contract. Of course, there is also the twenty wages that will be paid in advance tomorrow. ”

As soon as he heard that he would be able to get the money tomorrow, Ma Laosan nodded with bright eyes and said: "Don't worry, young master, the villain will take people to do it, start work overnight, and when you come again tomorrow, I guarantee that you will never see a seedling again!" ”

It is not easy to grow crops, but it is not difficult to destroy crops, and there are more than 100 people in the village, one day and one night are enough!
