Chapter 123: The Strange Duck (19)

"Yu'er, these are Xu ...... What your uncle gave you?

Son, you're in the shoes of someone else. ”

Without waiting for Yang Congxun to ask, the middle-aged man on the opposite side with a resolute face pointed to a text on the zero title deed with his finger, signaling Yang Congxun to take a closer look.

“…… Sixty-five zhang north from the north bank of Chenguanzhuang on the Sihe River.

The land is so close to the river that it must be a watered field for cultivating rice.

Naturally, the tenants who came to lease the land were also good at growing rice.

If my son wants to convert the plot of land into a mulberry field, he must first negotiate with those tenants to negotiate a generalist school from door to door

As long as the tenants pay the full rent to you, the landlord, on time, no one can find fault with it, so why should they spoil their own food and clothing?

Therefore, Yu'er, your mulberry field for raising silkworms, I'm afraid there is no hope. ”

After that, the middle-aged man twisted the thick pile of title deeds on the table with his fingers.

"It's just a hundred acres of land, why do you get more than 20 title deeds?

It can be seen that Yu'er, your uncle deliberately made up these old pieces of land piece by piece, obviously wanting you to take care of these fields in the future.

You must know that these lands under people's feet do not have long mouths, whether it is Yu'er your land or not, it all depends on the boundary stone standing in the field with the name and surname of the landowner!

If you slack off for a while, you neglect to take care of these lands.

This boundary stone has been moved by the left neighbor by five feet, and the right neighbor is allowed to move a zhang, and it will not be long before this hundred acres of land will be devoured by others! ”

Yang Congxun was stunned when he heard this: "Daddy, are those tenants who rent land just sit back and watch others encroach on this land they cultivate?" ”

I saw that the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So Yu'er, your knowledge is still too little."

Son, think about it deeply, those tenants who rent land usually live in the village, and the villagers who don't look up and don't see each other with their neighbors bowing their heads and not looking up, so what is it difficult to discuss with each other?

As long as the grain from the plot is enough for my family to eat and drink, plus pay rent.

As for where the boundary stone should be placed, the landlord and the owner should worry about it, and I, as a tenant, can't afford to do it for him. ”

(Tenant farmers have a serious shortage of large warehouses where they can store grain, and the over-output of grain is susceptible to mildew due to poor storage.)

As a result, most tenant farmers are reluctant to put more effort into how to increase food output.

Mr. Ye Shengtao, a famous writer, has a short masterpiece "Collecting Three or Five Buckets More", which describes the good annual harvest of a certain year and the bumper harvest of grain in the field.

However, tenant farmers did not have enough warehouses to store grain, so they had to concentrate on selling grain in the autumn, which caused the price of rice to plummet, so that the good years were more difficult than ever. )

"So that's it? Then I will give these land deeds to my uncle and send them back now, and our family does not want these land properties of his family. ”

Yang Congxun grabbed the title deed on the table with his hand, turned around and wanted to run out of the door.

At this time, one of his sleeves was suddenly pulled from behind, and then Yang Xindu sighed softly from behind.

"Don't go, Yu'er, it's too late. Your uncle is the leading wealthy businessman in Qufu territory, with his status and prestige, how can he change his mind and take back the things he sent out with his own hands?

If your name is written on these land deeds, now that your uncle has made this matter clear in front of you, he will definitely send someone to recall the Xu family steward who had been helping to take care of the land earlier.

Now, the land and property registered on these land deeds have become ownerless, so you have to collect it if you don't take it.

Otherwise, these lands will be seized by people with ulterior motives. ”

The resolute-looking middle-aged man let go of Yang Congxun's sleeve, and then gently patted his broad and strong shoulder with his hand.

"My father knows that Yu'er has noble ambitions, and he has always looked down on these money and mundane things.

But the problem is that some people with ulterior motives will make a fuss about this matter in front of the father. ”

I saw Yang Xindu spreading his hands at Yang Congxun.

"Yu'er, our Yang family's business has been getting bigger and bigger over the years, and even the silk Zhuangzi has opened two new places in a row.

However, Yu'er, you may not know that over the years, in addition to constantly introducing wealthy merchants and guests who purchased large quantities of silk to the Yang family, your uncle has also sent over fifty-one men, six shopkeepers, and three clerical account rooms!

Needless to say, these people are all arranged by your uncle, and it is obvious who they will stand on when the family splits up in the future. ”

After that, Yang Xindu turned his back on his hands and slowly paced in the room.

"Yu'er, your mother left early, and your stepmother has been hosting the Yang family's back house all these years.

This woman, there is no time not to eat flying vinegar!

Therefore, everything related to your mother in our back house has been replaced and discarded by her one by one.

So much so that now when your father misses your mother, he can't find anything to see and think about! ”

I saw Yang Xindu sigh and said, "When you know, why does your father often drag you to the old number of the Yang family to take inventory?"

This old house was opened by your mother with the help of your mother after my father came back from Guanwai.

I remember when it first opened, there were a few scoundrels who ran to the door to spread blackmail, or your mother personally used a spell to scare people away.

Yu'er, you can not fight for other properties of the Yang family.

But this old name of the Yang family that your father and your mother have worked hard to support, you have to help your father keep it, and you should leave a memory for your father to miss your mother. ”

Seeing Yang Xindu mention the relationship with his biological mother, Yang Congxun's tears immediately flowed out of his eyes.

"Daddy! The child only hates that he was too stubborn in the past to appreciate your good intentions.

The child does not learn and does not know how to learn, but I am afraid that I will live up to your heavy copper in the future..."

Yang Congzheng cried bitterly, and suddenly heard Yang Xindu laugh softly.

"Hehe, who Yu'er you don't learn and don't know?

If it weren't for Yu'er, you subdued the duck monster in this lotus pond and saved your cousin's life, where would these things happen today?

It was precisely because your uncle could not thank you for saving your life that he threw out the land that he had secretly hidden under the pretext of helping your three brothers to bridge the future dispute over family property. ”

I saw Yang Xindu turn around, and a pair of bright eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Congxun's body.

"Then again, my son is really a good general. That uncle of yours must not have imagined that his carefully prepared killer weapon would come in handy so soon.

These fields must not be abandoned before they are given away, otherwise they will be slapping him Xu Ailin in the face!

Therefore, the stewards he sent to take care of the fields must have been competent men who were willing to work hard, and most of the tenants selected by these people were honest men who were down-to-earth and willing to work.

It is only when your uncle thinks that the time is ripe to set a trap for people with these estates, that he will signal his steward to replace the tenants who lease the land one by one with a gang of treacherous people who are not good at farming. ”

After that, Yang Xindu suddenly raised his hand and patted Yang Congxun's shoulder.

"The best news for our Yang family at the moment is that your uncle can't change tenants in a hurry, otherwise those tenants who have been working hard in the fields for more than half a year should gather in front of his Xu family to ask for a law.

So we might as well plan and give away all these fields! ”
