After saying what should be said, the group didn't waste any more time and went home directly.

After the crowd left, the crowd began to talk.

"Old Han, what the owner said is true?" The swarthy man spoke again, "Is there such a good thing in the world that is hard to find with a lantern?" ”

"Why isn't it true," the old man straightened his chest, trying to make himself look more reasonable, "The owner has so much land, he definitely won't care about our little food." ”

"Is this a point?" A sigh sounded in the crowd, "Just the tax grain is almost thirty percent, give us sixty percent, what is left of the owner?" ”

"That's it," the swarthy man immediately echoed, "Sixty percent is too much, Han Lao, or let's talk to the owner, it's still the original four achievements, otherwise even if we get food, we won't be sure." ”

"Oops," Han Lao patted his thigh, "At that time, I just thought that I could get food, but I forgot about this stubble, it is really not decent, the owner is too bad, and when I react in the future, I will definitely drive us away." ”

"What then?" Everyone panicked, "The whole family is waiting for dinner, we can't plant without land." ”

"The owner will come tomorrow, and the big guy will say his mind tomorrow, we only need fifty percent of the grain, no, four will do."

"Yes, it's okay for us to suffer a loss, we can't make the owner angry!"

There is no way, even if you are a little tired, you can't lose the land in your hand, this is the dependence of survival.

On the ox cart, everyone in the Huang family also talked about it.

Xie: "Mother, only 40% of the rent is collected, will it be too little?" After paying the tax and grain, there is not much left. ”

"How can you say this kind of thing," Jiang Nuan smiled dumbly, "It's just that I made a little less, and I definitely didn't suffer a loss." ”

Forty percent of the rent is indeed a bit small, but the food left after paying the tax is enough for her own consumption, compared with the twenty percent of the grain, she is more optimistic about the fish she raises.

Jiang Nuan had carefully studied that landlording in this era was a very promising profession.

Generally speaking, tenants will pay 60% of the rent for renting land, more can reach 80%, some ask for 50%, but very little, it is not an exaggeration.

The most important reason why landlords want so much rent is to pay taxes.

The tax grain of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mainly rice and wheat, but not all the land can be planted with these two, but the land that cannot be planted must be shared equally, and generally speaking, 30% of the total grain will be paid.

Forty percent of the rent, excluding taxes and grain, only one percent remains, which seems to be very little, far less than the sixty percent of the tenants, in fact, it has already made a small profit.

The grain is the tenant's own, the work is done by the tenants themselves, and the grain is also collected by the tenants, who only need to take out a little land to lie down to collect the grain, no wonder almost every dynasty develops to the end of a large number of enclosures.

If you continue to manage well, you will definitely be able to reach the peak of life.

"It's not a loss," Xie Shi was a little distressed, "but I can make two percent less, and I have lost a lot of food." ”

"That's true," Jiang Nuan explained, "but when it comes to silver, it's not much, maybe the income from these grains together is not as much as half of what we sell fish." ”

"Mother, do you really want to raise fish in the rice fields?" Huang Lao Er shook the cabbage snake in his hand, a little incredulous, "Can it be done?" ”

"Whether it can be successful depends on the result," Jiang Nuan didn't want to explain anymore, "You'll know later." ”

"So many lands, all of them have to be fryed?" Wang hesitated, "Mother, where can we buy it?" ”

"There's still time, don't rush, take your time."

"When the time comes, my daughter-in-law will help." Xie leaned over softly and said.

"Hmm!"

Glancing at his reluctant but unrefuted son, the corners of Jiang Nuan's mouth curled.

Sure enough, no matter when, spending the money you earn is confident, in the past in Huangjiakou, you couldn't let you top fertilize the crops, and no one stopped you from raising fish in the rice fields.

It's just that they don't feel that the silver is earned by them, and they have no position.

When the group returned home, it was nearly evening.

"You're back?" Mrs. Huang greeted with a smile, "Wash your hands and eat." ”

"Mother doesn't need to cook, just wait for us to come back and sit, eat some pastries to cushion your stomach when you're hungry, you can always enjoy it."

"It's nothing," Mrs. Huang waved her hand, "It's not a heavy job, Xiao Wu picks vegetables, Yuzhu burns the fire, I don't move much." ”

The old lady was originally a little worried that she would not be used to leaving the old house.

After all, for so many years, she has not given a few grandchildren any good looks, and it is normal for people to hold grudges.

I was stuffy in the room for a long time before I mustered up the courage to come out.

Who knows, only she herself who minds this matter, whether it is a grandson or a great-grandson, it is as if nothing happened, and she has no outside heart for her, especially her granddaughter, who is even more intimate little padded jacket, and she has to run over from time to time to see her old woman when she recalls a book, and accompanies herself to talk to relieve her boredom, for fear that she will be bored.

This made the old lady happy, and she ate an extra bowl for lunch, knowing that after her daughter-in-law and grandson went to see the newly bought Zhuangzi, she pinched the time to cook, afraid of starving these hearts and livers.

"Don't be tired of your old man," Jiang Nuan said softly, "I am here to enjoy the joy of my family, not to work, there are so many people in the family, each of them has strength, just sit next to us and watch us work." ”

"Cheng, I won't move next time," Mrs. Huang smiled happily, "By the way, how about our Zhuangzi?" Is there really more than 200 acres of land? This has become the landlord's old wealth? ”

"There really is," Xie described vividly, "the milk doesn't know, standing on the mountain and looking around, it is all our land, all of which are good fields, the wheat in the dry land has been tasseled, and you can eat green wheat kernels in a few days, and then you will be able to eat the milk when the time comes, it is tender and fragrant, and it is very delicious." ”

Mrs. Huang was moved by what Xie said, "Green wheat kernels, that's a good thing, put some in the porridge, it's very delicious." ”

As soon as the voice changed, the old lady still refused, "I can cut some for you to taste, I'll forget it, I'm old, and my teeth are not good." ”

Not really.

The green wheat grains can turn yellow in a few days, and you can threw more grain.

The old man has been frugal all his life, even if he knows that his family doesn't care about this thing, he is still reluctant.

"It's okay, let's pick the tender ones, and we won't let the milk not move."

"You talk," felt the cabbage snake in his hand move, and Huang Lao Er spoke, "I'm going to chop the cabbage snake, and the province is run away by it." ”

"The cabbage snake is a good thing," the old lady was not very afraid of snakes, and after looking around, she nodded seriously, "How much has this eaten?" They all weigh two or three pounds, and they are stewed with the old hens, which is enough for our whole family. ”

"Or you have knowledge, you eat first, I'll clean it up, and then put it in the pot to stew, and you can eat it at night," Huang Laoer, who was recognized, was very happy, "This thing is the most nourishing, and I just went to sleep after eating." ”
