Jiang Yu explained: "These are the people from the nearby villages, they are tenant farmers invited by the previous owner, and Mrs. Zhao saw that we hadn't come here yet, so she arranged for them first......

This Zhuangzi was originally a wealthy merchant, but the rich merchant seemed to be losing money in business, and in a hurry to turn around, he sold Zhuangzi with the field and the hillside.

At that time, the crops on the village had already been planted, and because they were in a hurry, these lands were sold below the market price.

It's also Mrs. Zhao's quick eyes, otherwise she might miss it.

……

In fact, even if they had been here before, they would still be looking for these people to continue renting the land.

After all, the crops have already been planted, and if they regret it temporarily, where will those tenant farmers go to find land to rent at this time?

Moreover, they came to the capital this time mainly to open an academy, so most of the people they brought were skilled or able to do things.

There are very few people who come to farm.

So for Mrs. Zhao's arrangement, Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu expressed their intimacy.

As long as these tenant farmers don't cheat, they will continue to let them rent the land.

All the way from the forest to the field, Jiang Yu babbled about planning......

She is still quite interested in this kind of thing, after all, the delicious food comes out of the fields and forests, anyway, as long as she is not allowed to do anything, everything is easy to say.

“…… Go back to the woods and raise more chickens and pigs......

Fish must also be raised in the rice fields...... "This is all meat!"

The villagers who followed behind were also curious to look around......

Although this place doesn't look as good as our mountain pass, it's still good......

……

As the crowd approached, the tenant farmers who were busy in the fields straightened up and looked at them.

The tenant farmers looked at the simple clothes of the villagers, and there was little difference except for the neatness and few patches they had.

Just by looking at their quick appearance, you can see that these people are also used to doing farm work.

In particular, there are a few of them who are walking around to check the surrounding crops, and sometimes they will ask a few questions, and they look like veterans of farming.

In addition, these people are still carrying a lot of luggage in large bags, obviously to live in Zhuangzi for a long time.

For a time, the tenant farmers were nervous.

They knew about Zhuangzi's new owner before, and Mrs. Zhao also came to Zhuangzi to see it in person.

said that they would continue to rent it to them to plant, and so many people are here now, don't you regret it, right?

How good is that?

Don't look at their village is close to the capital, and it is convenient to enter the city, but no one really envies them.

The good land near the capital is basically in the hands of the big families in the city, and the land in the nearby villages is very limited, and it is not necessarily good land.

Fortunately, the Zhuangzi of these large families all need tenant farmers, and for the sake of fame, the rent collected is more reasonable.

These people rely on their own land, plus rent the land of various villages, although they are not rich, but they can survive.

In particular, after the new grain was planted, there were two new crops, sweet potato and corn.

Although in the first year, because the landlord produced grain, the rent was slightly higher, but the harvest was also high.

By the second year, they had kept their own grain, the rent was back to normal, and the harvest was still more than before.

Seeing that their lives are about to get better......

If they are suddenly denied the land to rent at this time, then their family will be hungry again by relying on the harvest of their own land.

Although there are many Zhuangzi in the vicinity, there are also many tenant farmers in the vicinity, and generally speaking, which Zhuangzi land to rent is determined by these people.

In addition, the crops have been planted at this time, and all the farms must have found good people, where can they rent land?

……

Under the attention of the tenant farmers, everyone gradually approached the Zhuangzi, and the huge Zhuangzi came into view......

Zhuangzi guarded the door was a veteran of the Zhao family's army, Jiang Yao handed over the token given by Mrs. Zhao, and then was respectfully invited in......

Jiang Yao didn't let everyone rest for the first time, after all, everyone didn't trek much.

Because Jiang Yao took them all the way to the capital, the villagers even felt that this place was not far from home, and they didn't feel uprooted at all, but felt very novel.

So when Jiang Yao said that he wanted everyone to meet the people on Zhuangzi together, everyone readily agreed.

Because Zhuangzi bought it for Jiang Yao, Mrs. Zhao didn't leave too many people.

In addition to the veterans guarding the door, there is also an old couple in Zhuangzi, who is kept by Mrs. Zhao to take care of Zhuangzi.

The veteran guarding the door is called Zhao Rong, who looks nearly fifty years old and has a little lame legs, but he doesn't look old at all.

Jiang Yao felt like a sharp blade in the scabbard, as if he would take someone's life as soon as he came out of the sheath......

The old man who takes care of Zhuangzi is called Zhao Quan, who is similar in age to Zhao Rong, but his temperament is completely different.

It looks very kind, similar to the old village chief.

Zhao's family's name is Liu Huitian, and he is a serious old man.

After everyone got to know each other, Aunt Tian, who was Liu Huitian, said to Jiang Yao: "Mr. Jiang, the lady of the house in Zhuangzi will send someone to clean it every other day.

Do you want the old slave to find someone to clean it again? ”

"There's no need to clean it, there are a lot of us, just tidy up our own quarters for a while."

As he spoke, Jiang Yao changed his words, "It's just that I want to meet the tenant farmers in Zhuangzi in the afternoon, and I also ask Aunt Tian to bother and find someone to inform me." ”

"Mr. Jiang is polite, this is what an old slave should do."

Jiang Yao was noncommittal, just smiled slightly.

The three people on the Zhuangzi were all carefully selected by Mrs. Zhao, and they were all confidants of the Zhao family.

Before coming, Mrs. Zhao also told her that these people were already familiar with Zhuangzi, and Jiang Yao could let them do anything.

After Jiang Yao and the others got acquainted, the three of them had to decide whether to stay or whether to go.

In fact, for Jiang Yao, the more people you have to use, the better.

But these three people are the henchmen of the Zhao family, but they are not necessarily her henchmen.

So whether they are going or staying has to be seen everywhere.

So after the two sides said what they needed to say simply and directly at this meeting, they dispersed.

Except for Lin Xiaoxi, who sent them a bag of specialties on behalf of the villagers, the two sides did not exchange too many pleasantries.

However, when Aunt Tian and the others saw a small bag of tea in the baggage, they were all slightly surprised.

Isn't this a valuable thing......

……

Originally, Aunt Tian said that Ao would show them the way, but Jiang Yao refused.

Mrs. Zhao had already handed over the drawings of this Zhuangzi to Jiang Yao, so Jiang Yao was more familiar with Zhuangzi at this time.

And everyone is new to the city, so it's more reassuring to lead it by yourself......

This Zhuangzi was originally used by wealthy people to escape the summer, hunt or play.

Therefore, Zhuangzi not only occupies a large area, but also looks very elegant.
