Zhou Shuren took out two deeds from his arms, one was put away and put back in his arms, and the other was opened and handed to Boss Zhou, "Sixty acres of land, paddy fields are one acre according to eight taels of silver, five taels of silver per acre of dry fields, thirty acres of paddy fields, thirty acres of dry fields, a total of three hundred and ninety taels, the silver money of the Zheng family for the red deed, one hundred taels for the house, and the Zheng family for the renaming of the deed." ”

Boss Zhou quickly calculated the account in his heart, "Dad, is the price given by the Zheng family too low?" ”

Now the first-class dry land is five taels and two dollars, thirty acres is six taels less, and the deed is also a lot of money, although he didn't go in, but the area is not small only one hundred taels?

Zhou Lao Er felt that there was a problem, the focus must be on the deed that his father put away, and his father didn't want to say anything when he put it away, "Dad, the Zheng family is selling so urgently, and they will move away soon!" ”

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The team and fleet have been hired, and they will leave in a week, and the Zheng family has already left first, and Old Man Zheng is the last one." ”

In order to arrange the house, he left last, and Sanfang left when he went to Pingzhou.

Zhou Lao Er frowned, "Dad, we are going to Pingzhou next year, and my brother-in-law can't take care of sixty acres of land and a house alone." ”

Zhou Shuren had already thought about it, and looked at Boss Zhou, "The land is in Lijia Village, there are many men in your Yue's family, and when the field is transferred, you go to your Yue's house to run, who will help plant our family's land, and you can leave twenty percent and a half of grain per mu, if the grain in the first year can't exceed the average yield per mu, I will take back the land." ”

To put it bluntly, it is to exchange grain for labor money, and the more you work hard to plant the land, the more grain you will naturally harvest, and the final share will be more, so as to avoid the trouble of being lazy as much as possible.

Zhou Shuren's method is not like the landlord dividing the land and renting it to the tenant farmers, in order to squeeze more profits, the tenant farmers are tired and tired for a year, pay rent and pay taxes, sometimes they don't even have enough food and drink, and they have to be squeezed more labor by the landlords, and they can't live a good year to catch up.

Zhou Shuren's method, as long as you serve the good land, you don't need the farmers to take the risk to get the food, the better you serve, the more you get, there are more male babies in Lijia Village, and there are many surplus laborers, as long as you are not stupid, you will not miss the opportunity.

Boss Zhou surprised the Li family, there are so many young men in the Yue family, there is not so much work for the young men to do at home, and the mother-in-law is also very worried every day, this time the labor force of the young man is useful, and he can save a lot of money by changing the grain he gets every year into silver money, and he can save a lot of money, and he understands that his father is pulling the Yue family, "I thank my father for the Li family." ”

Zhou Shuren didn't give the Li family a cheap price in vain, his in-laws are in Lijia Village, Lijia Village is basically surnamed Li, and all of them are relatives, their family goes to Pingzhou, and the care of the house still depends on the Li family.

Zhou Shuren said, "Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, I will rest with your mother for a while, this ox cart is very bumpy." ”

Boss Zhou, "Dad, I'll go out first." ”

Zhulan waited for her two sons to go out and closed the door, and Zhulan stretched out her hand, "Show me." ”

Zhou Shuren took out the deed, "This is the real deed, sixty acres of land half sold and half given to our family, paddy fields and dry fields are four taels of silver per acre of land, sixty acres of land two hundred and forty taels, originally wanted to give our family a promise for nothing, I refused to talk about other benefits, the Zheng family asked me not to sell the house, I hope I will pass it on from generation to generation, the Zheng family will come with the token, we will return the house." ”

Zhou Shuren said and took out a seal, "This is a token, half of my seal here, the other half is in the hands of the Zheng family, because the house will be taken back by the Zheng family, the house did not ask us for money, and the furniture in the house was not taken away, so it was given to us for nothing, but in order to avoid trouble, the Zheng family's house can only be lived in by us, and cannot be subleased." ”

Zhulan fiddled with the seal, and the seal was particularly complicated, "We can guarantee that our gentleman will keep his promise, and our son will be fine, but as for the grandchildren, we can't guarantee it, and we can't control it after we die, what if our children and grandchildren don't pay it back?" Old man Zheng is not afraid? ”

Zhou Shuren touched the seal, and now he saw Old Man Zheng, and only then did he know that there were people outside the world, especially the ruthless people, "Old Man Zheng is a ruthless man, he killed his younger brother with his own hands, you say, will he have no backhand?" ”

He seriously suspected that his juniors did not keep their promises, and it is estimated that he is really going to cut off his children and grandchildren, oh yes, it is the original body that has cut off his children and grandchildren, and the pie that has fallen in the world has never been easy to pick up, and it is easy to smash himself to death.

This old man Zheng has been smiling, his back is cold when he laughs, the first time he feels very close to death, he knows the secret of the Zheng family, so he didn't give him a chance to refuse, he didn't have to think about it if he refused, he and Zhulan were absolutely dead.

Zhulan knew that Old Man Zheng was not simple, but she didn't expect her hands to be so ruthless, "Didn't I lie to you?" ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

Zhulan, ""

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "Whoever will produce one or two scum, I estimate that the Zheng family will be assigned, and the relationship with the elder brother of the old man Zheng." ”

Old Man Zheng didn't tell anyone, yes, he told him, he really didn't want to know!

Zhulan glared, "The Zheng family is not afraid, they threaten you now, and in the future, you will ascend to the water and fight against the water?" ”

Zhou Shuren thinks Zhulan is so cute, Zhulan is angry that he was intimidated, and hugged Zhulan, "Because Old Man Zheng gave me enough use, the Zheng family's house has been taken by someone very early, and Old Man Zheng personally handled the deed, also to express, we are protected by the Zheng family, this old man has not been idle for more than 40 years, I always feel that there are a lot of dark lines in the county, otherwise, you think that the Zheng family has built such a big house, why no one has seized it!" ”

Zhulan, "We seem to have encountered a hidden boss? ”

Zhou Shuren burst out laughing, "It's just a coincidence, Wang Ruzuo died and left, the Zheng family happened to move over and became familiar with our family, the Zheng family investigated me and thought I was the most suitable person, but I did meet a hidden ruthless person." ”

Zhulan squinted her eyes, to put it bluntly, the pie that she almost choked to death today, or the variables brought by Wang Ru, Zhulan has always been curious about Uncle Zheng's family, "Is there a general from the northwest in Uncle Zheng's house?" ”

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The Zheng family fled and divided into two ways, in order to prevent future troubles, they did not leave any way to contact each other, only the general direction, the big house went to the northwest incognito, and then the dynasty died and it was a war, the family was a military general and became a soldier at the border pass, and the new dynasty was established and climbed for a few years before becoming the current captain of the fourth grade. ”

This is also the reason why the Zheng family went so simply, the Zheng family is incognito in the Northeast, and the younger generations have no material to study, or the Northwest is the most suitable for the Zheng family to survive.

Zhulan thought of Zhou Shuren just now and said that he had refused to give away the field for nothing and exchanged it for other benefits, "What benefits did you and Old Man Zheng exchange?" ”
