Xue Langjing retorted, "Your old man's words are not right, these days, who can dismiss the lack of fields, as long as Shopkeeper Li says, some people rush to plant, will it be wasted?" This house is the same, now that there are many homeless people, why is there no one to rent it? ”

"You, you—" The patriarch was choked speechless.

He obviously didn't want to give, but he couldn't find a reason to argue for a while.

And Xue Langjing wouldn't give him time to argue, but only asked Li, "Shopkeeper Li, if the current land is tenanted to others, how much rent will it generally charge?" ”

"It's all 50% rent, and our family is a female household, so we don't need to collect taxes," Li replied.

"Okay, then it's 200 yuan per mu per year, eleven acres, 2 taels and 200 yuan a year, and 22 taels for ten years, what about the rent?"

Li Shi was not stupid, and immediately replied to her, "With such a big house, you can rent out several rooms, and you have to rent 200 wen a month." ”

"Oh, the house is twenty-two or four hundred taels a year, and ten years is twenty-four taels, plus the land rent, it is forty-six taels, plus the previous eighty-five taels, a total of one hundred and thirty-one taels of silver.

Xue Langjing finished the calculation very neatly, and finally looked at the patriarch, "What does Patriarch Shi think?" ”

How is it?

He wanted to vomit blood!

Where did they get the courage to collect 200 wen for land rent?

Not to mention that it is a disaster year now, even in normal years in the past, the land rent will not reach this money!

Even if it is five or five points, one mu can produce 200 catties of grain, and you have to be grateful to God and burn high incense.

Besides, even if you can really get a hundred catties of grain, it can't be directly counted as grain money, and the unprocessed grain is not worth so much money, can the Li family run a mill? If you put it in the mill for processing, you have to charge at least forty or fifty dollars!

And the rent, she said that it was in the town, and it couldn't be rented in their village, and the house was a little old.

The patriarch, who was so angry with them that he couldn't stand still, naturally wanted to retort, "You, you guys are simply robbing!" ”

"What is the robbery? Obviously, you brought a group of big men to rob the Li family, and it would be good if they didn't ask you for a comfort fee. In a word, do you give this money or not? ”

Xue Langjing didn't want to talk to them, she had to hurry up and work, she had been wasted by these people for so long, and she didn't know how many catties of noodles she could grind, so angry!

"Give give, we give, we..."

"That's right, patriarch, you can give it to them quickly, no matter how late it is, we will really have to stay in the yamen for one night at night..."

"Patriarch, anyway, this is from the clan, and it's not yours alone, why be so serious, do you really want to be tied up to see the official?"

。。。

Before the patriarch could say no, the clansmen he brought agreed and even persuaded him.

It seemed that he couldn't find any reason not to give it, so the helpless patriarch could only agree, but he repeatedly told himself in his heart that he would definitely get it back anyway, "We'll give it!" ”

Hearing Patriarch Shi gritted his teeth and agreed, Xue Langjing clapped his hands, "This is easy to do, they are all from the same clan, how good is harmony, don't you think this matter will be solved?"

Each of you shall send one of you to take the money together, and give the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and then the affairs of the field and the house will be settled. ”

For her words, the people of the Shi family did not dare to refute it, and the Li family was even more desperate, so it was finally decided.

The Li family sent Yang Lin, and the Shi family sent a middle-aged man to go back to the village with the patriarch's token to get the silver.

After the others left, everyone thought that today's matter was over, and when the Li family got the silver, they could let themselves and the others go.

However, there is much more to the truth than that.

Seeing that Xue Langjing clapped his hands again, attracting everyone's attention, he continued, "The matter of the field is settled, and then we should talk about asking you not to bother Shopkeeper Li and them." ”

The patriarch was puzzled, "What? Haven't we all promised it? ”

Xue Langjing rolled her eyes at him, "You can do it with a promise?" There is no evidence, who knows what will happen in the future, when you bring people to rob like this today, what can they do with Shopkeeper Li? It's not like watching yourself be robbed! ”

"Haven't you already sent someone to fetch the money? What else do you want! Patriarch Shi was told what he was thinking, and he suddenly became angry again, this woman dared to deceive herself! Simply unforgivable!

As a result, he was choked by Xue Langjing again, "You, you, what are you, what did you solve before, what does it have to do with whether you will rob it again?" ”

Patriarch Shi was a little angry and said, "Then what do you want?" ”

Xue Langjing didn't spare the circle, "There is no evidence, but it is effective in black and white!" ”

As he spoke, he said to Li, "Shopkeeper, go and borrow a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I will write you a few contracts, so that they can promise not to come and harass you, otherwise you can use this contract to get back everything that was robbed, and then you can sue them for a crime of robbery." ”

"Okay, this is good, this is good, sure enough, Miss Tang is thoughtful, with this real guarantee, they can't come to rob it, I'll borrow it immediately."

Li excitedly went out to borrow pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

The other Shi family members are okay, but they only think that this woman is so cunning, and they deceived them into paying money beforehand, and when the person who took the money has been sent out, they let them write this Laoshzi contract book, which is really hateful.

But this is very different for Patriarch Shi.

He had hoped to wait for the woman to leave, and then bring someone to bring the silver and the mill back.

Even if it were to pass away, the property would not belong to him, but to the family.

But he has so many children and great-grandchildren!

At that time, he can inherit one of his great-grandsons to his name on the grounds that Dong'er has no heirs and has broken the inheritance, so aren't the fields, houses, mills, and silver all his own?

At that time, some benefits will be promised to the other people, and it will be done.

As a result, now that he has been messed up like this, he doesn't want to get any money in the future, and he has to paste a lot of silver into it.

After all, the field was planted by his descendants, and the annual rent to the clan was not much.

And the same is true of the house, he arranged for his grandson's family to live in it on the grounds that his many children and grandchildren did not have enough houses.

And the house in this family property is temporarily lent to whoever has difficulties to live in, and there is no need for the clan to spend money at all, so this house is equivalent to being lived in by his family for nothing, and he will naturally have to pay for it when the time comes.

What's even more infuriating is that although he didn't pay the rent, in order to get this house, he also spent a lot of money out, and the rent is also the land.

So much hush money has also been wasted.
