Pei Youdao was escorted to Chang'an to ask for guilt, and all the properties of the Pei family were divided among several creditors led by 'Dingxianglou' and 'Changxiangge', and the Pei family, which was still in Taiyuan City a few days ago, disappeared.

However, the turmoil of the Pei family has just passed, and now there are people who are imitating the Pei family's previous actions without knowing whether they are alive or dead.

Hundreds of acres of fertile land, green millet seedlings growing just right, were all bulldozed overnight.

This can't help but remind people of the crazy move before the decline of the Pei family, in order to plant vegetables, he did not hesitate to destroy the crops of a hundred acres of fertile land, as a result, the ancient well failed, the vegetables returned to the mortal, Pei Youdao in order to avoid debts and even did not hesitate to make murder and arson, causing the entire Pei family to disappear in Taiyuan Mansion.

"A hundred acres of grain, if you wait until the autumn harvest, no matter how bad it is, you can have a harvest of 10,000 quintals, just because the owner's words are gone, it's really a sin, if this is in wartime, even if it is their own field, dare to do such a thing, such a person has ten and eight heads have been cut off!"

On the tea stall on the side of the street, an old man who looked like a master looked bitter and hateful. Although life is much better now, there are still many people who can't eat enough in Datang, and in the face of such a serious waste, the old man can't bear it.

Of course, there is also a little bit of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour, and the mentality of hating the rich is not limited to later generations.

"Who is the old man who said, he has such a big hand, what can he plant if he shovels all the crops in the field at this time? Isn't it a loser? ”

The passers-by who were resting and drinking tea at the tea stall were all attracted by the old man's words, and some people couldn't help but ask, now that it is past April, even if they are planting vegetables, they will not rush to get rid of the crops, in their opinion, it is simply a disease.

"Who else?" The beard on the old master's chin pouted and said angrily: "Tang Xiu, Tang Ziyou!" With a few stinky money, you don't know who you are, and the crops in the field can be spoiled so casually? ”

"Tang Xiu?"

"It turned out to be Tang Xiu, so it's no wonder......"

As soon as they heard Tang Xiu's name, all the tea guests showed a look of understanding, didn't they just shovel a hundred acres of crops, what's so strange about this? Tang Dashao has done all the things that made a fortune overnight when he was in the past, let alone a hundred acres of crops.

The same thing happened repeatedly in the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City, and the reactions of Taiyuan residents who heard the news were similar.

If a month ago, Pei Youdao ordered people to destroy 100 acres of crops to grow vegetables, which made people feel surprised and surprised, then now the same 100 acres of crops have been destroyed, just because the person who wants to destroy the crops is Tang Xiu, but the expressions of the residents in Taiyuan City after hearing it are completely different.

Understand, suddenly, so it is, and then I began to be indifferent and no longer pay more attention.

People have long been accustomed to the rumors of Tang Xiu's defeat, not to mention the destruction of a hundred acres of crops, no one will be surprised if he sells all the 100 acres of ancestral land in the Tang Mansion.

No matter what the people in the city were saying, Tang Xiu was standing indifferently in front of Wang Laosan and his tenant farmers at the moment, being eagerly watched by hundreds of men, women, and children, Tang Xiu seemed to have found the feeling he had when he was talking in front of the company's employees.

"The literate sign their names, the illiterate press their own handprints, each household can send a representative, and after a while, Wang Laosan will pay the corresponding salary according to your respective share of the land, I hope you can strictly abide by the provisions of the contract in the future, and do what you should do. If someone dares to cheat and cheat, the money of the month will be deducted, and the contract will be terminated and driven out of the village, and they will never be hired in the future! ”

Tang Lu handed over the contract document written in advance to Wang Laosan, and Wang Laosan issued a copy according to the number of people present.

Seeing that all the families had received their contracts, Tang Xiu said: "The contract is in duplicate, one is signed and handed over, and the other is kept by yourself, and you can come forward with the contract to receive your salary for this month later." On the fifteenth of each month in the future, Wang Laosan can go to the Tang Mansion to find the Tang housekeeper to receive the full amount of the month, if there is no accident, there will be no arrears. ”

Twenty pieces of coins were stacked on the simple table in front of Tang Xiu, and twenty strings of a total of 20,000 copper coins were stacked together, and they were placed high, and the tenant farmers below had their eyes lit up, and they had dealt with the crops in the field all their lives, and they had never seen so much money at one time.

If you can really get this amount of money every month in the future, it will be worth it even if you are tired to death in the ground!

Everyone has a small account in their hearts, two hundred yuan per acre of land, and there will be two four hundred yuan in a year, if they can subcontract to three acres of land, they can get at least seven and two hundred yuan of income a year, seven and two hundred yuan, they used to meet the best years when the grain was converted into cash is only more than two yuan, and the current income is simply three to four times that of the past, and the fool will not be happy!

Although there is no future for following a loser, if he can get some more benefits before he loses his family business, it seems to be a good choice, at least their owners are very generous, unprecedentedly generous.

All of them had almost no consideration, and all of them pressed their handprints on the contract documents in their hands.

"Huh?"

Tang Xiu's eyebrows raised, and he saw a different person from the tenant farmers who were signing contracts below, when everyone was stamping their handprints with ink, only he carefully read the contract in the crowd, and then picked up the pen and ink that the Tang Mansion had prepared next to him and signed his name.

"It's really literate!"

This made Tang Xiu feel a little surprised, he thought that all these tenant farmers, including Wang Laosan, were illiterate, but he didn't expect that today he really found a different character.

Reading and literacy is not a great skill, but in these tenant farmers who live at the bottom of society, literacy is not so easy. Not to mention these tenant farmers, even in the current Tang Mansion, more than half of the subordinates can't even write their own names, so it is a great thing to find a literate person among these tenant farmers.

The literate man is a very hunched old man, about fifty years old, the skin on his face is tanned black and red, and the folds on his face and his thin figure show that his living conditions are not very good.

"What is this old man called?" Tang Xiu walked straight up to the old man and asked him softly.

The old man bent over and said respectfully: "Don't dare to call the owner like this, the little old man's surname is Chen Minglixian, and the owner can call the villain's name directly." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Chen." Tang Xiu nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Old Master Chen is literate?" ”

Chen Lixian, whose name is orthodox and atmospheric, is not like Wang Laosan and Ma Lao Liu, it can be seen that this old man surnamed Chen seems to have some origins, he should not have been born as a tenant farmer, but he didn't know what had changed and deliberately fallen to such a point.

Chen Lixian bowed down and replied: "I read books for two years when I was looking down, and I barely knew a few words, which made the owner laugh." ”

"Since you're literate, that's great." Tang Xiu was not interested in knowing other people's past, so he instructed Chen Lixian directly: "In the future, each village will keep an account book, and the house will be in charge of Steward Tang, and the village will be handed over to you. ”

"Thank you, owner!"

Chen Lixian happily responded, and bent down to practice to Tang, attracting the envious eyes of many tenant farmers around, an extra hundred Wen Feng silver every month is enough to make Old Man Chen's family live a much better life, I didn't expect that the literacy skills that are not useful on weekdays have made Old Man Chen get such a big benefit.
