Chapter 319: The Mountains Don't Turn and the Water Turns
Su Jin suddenly woke up and dispelled the idea of building houses for the tenants.
Let's leave it at this point for the time being, her father-in-law is right, it is better to give people fish than to give them fish, rather than giving them money, it is better to think about the way of wealth for them......
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Sister-in-law Liu's cooking skills are no worse than that of Sister-in-law Mao, and the home-cooked dishes are delicious.
Perhaps the advantage is that the raw materials are fresh, and simply adding oil and salt can make a very delicious dish.
The next day, he asked Liu Zhuangtou who should have asked, and Su Jin Qin Lang saw that the person Jiang Zhou chose was also sincere, unlike the slippery one, so he didn't plan to change the head of the village again, and told him that he was still doing this grange head.
The tenants should not be called and drunk at will, and after the fertile land is leased to the tenants for planting, everything is left to the tenants without much interference.
Liu Zhuang's first heart was completely grounded, and he kowtowed respectfully and said yes.
The two of them didn't ask Liu Zhuangtou to lead them, and walked to the fields by themselves, and basically met with the tenants in two days.
The tenants selected by Jiang Zhou look pretty good. I think too, if those who steal and cheat are not even qualified to sit as tenants, who is willing to rent land to them?
The tenants heard that the main family provided farm tools to plough cattle, and only charged 20% of the rent after paying taxes every year, and they could also borrow grain free of charge in the green and yellow seasons, and then repay it after the autumn harvest, without charging any interest, and they all liked to exhale for a while, and their faces were red with excitement when they were grateful, and they praised the old lady again and again for being a great good person, Guanyin Bodhisattva......
You must know that every year when the green and yellow are not harvested, many tenants have to tighten their belts to live, and the housewives are eager to count the grains of rice in the pot when cooking.
Sad!
The poor people who come and go are also poor people, who has surplus food and is willing to borrow?
The food is barely enough to eat, that is, it is barely enough, even if you borrow it, you can borrow three or five catties at most, ten catties, and no one can borrow it.
The old lady is willing to borrow, which is already a great favor.
Besides, the old lady also let the ploughing cattle and farm tools for free, I don't know how much trouble I saved, and I can save a few dollars.
If you don't get a rent of one percent, you can also collect an extra one or two hundred catties of rice a year, don't underestimate this two hundred catties, with these two hundred catties, and add some wild vegetables and grains, you can fool yourself in a year.
How could the tenants not rejoice?
Su Jin saw that there was a small reed lake next to the grange, with an area of about ten acres, with silt deposits, withered yellow and decayed reeds, and the water was only a shallow layer, which looked messy.
Su Jin was quite interested, the water of this pond was living water, there was a small stream coming from a distance, and down, the pond water flowed into the distance through the ditch between the fields.
How can a farm not have a pond where fish can be raised, fished, and lotus roots planted?
After returning to Zhuangzi, Su Jin called Liu Zhuangtou to inquire, is there a master in the pond?
Hearing Liu Zhuangtou shake his head and say no, Su Jin was even more overjoyed and urged him to go through the land deed to buy it.
Liu Zhuangtou listened to Bi Zhuangtou and persuaded him: "It is a worthless mud pond, and there are so many messy reeds, and there are springs in the muddy pond, and the water is very cold, and there is no way to grow crops on good land, so why should Mrs. spend money to buy it?" ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "Who said that I am going to cultivate the land and grow crops?" It's going to be a fish pond, you go and buy it first, and then I'll tell you how to do it!" ”
Liu Zhuangtou is even more puzzled, his family is good, and the fish is often eaten, but he generally buys the fish and shrimp produced in the clear river water, the fish meat is more tender and delicious, and the fish raised in the muddy pond has a muddy smell, which is not delicious at all......
Seeing that the lady was full of interest, and the meaning was clear and determined to buy, she didn't persuade anymore and respectfully agreed.
Mrs. I don't lack money to come, maybe I just want to fish or row on the lakeside in the summer. People in the city love freshness, and many ladies and ladies are good at this, he understands.
Liu Zhuangtou had the intention to please, and said with a smile: "I heard that the hill behind our Zhuangzi is being sold recently, about more than 200 acres, and it is said that the main family is only sold according to 200 acres, I don't know if the old lady wants to consider it?" Including a small fruit forest, peaches, plums, persimmons, loquats, pomegranates, dates, pears, and a few clusters of bamboo forests, there are fresh bamboo shoots every year! ”
Since Mrs. has the heart to play, there is a pond, of course, there must be a mountain, although the mountain was originally planted with soybeans, peanuts, corn and other crops, if Mrs. likes it, you can also plant all fruit trees.
Seeing Su Jin's eyes lit up with great interest, Liu Zhuangtou knew that he was on the right track, and his smile became more and more respectful.
"Oh? Is it the big piece behind our Zhuangzi? ”
"Madame is right, it's really there!"
When Su Jin and Qin Lang went out for a walk, they also went to that area, and there was indeed a fruit forest of about five or six acres, and there were three or four fruit trees of any kind, and they also saw two or three clusters of bamboo.
It is said that it is a mountain, but in fact the slope is very gentle, and now there are no crops on it, so it seems that it will not be cultivated until spring.
It happens to be around my own Zhuangzi, so it's certainly good to buy it.
Su Jin looked at Qin Lang, and Qin Lang said, "Since that's the case, let's buy it too, who is the owner of that piece of land?" Why sell? ”
Liu Zhuangtou smiled and said very gossipy: "The owner of that piece of land is surnamed Min, and he is the first big family in the city. The family has been in trouble recently, and the old man Min took him back to the outer room of the house and fought with Mrs. Min in the main room, and the eldest young master of the Min family - cough cough, in short, he made a joke and lost face, and there were many problems in the business of the Min family, where did Master Min still have the heart to care about this dry land with little interest? It's not all sold! Some people also say that their family is short of money now, and this is to sell it to plug the hole, maybe even the grange will be sold after a while......"
Su Jin and Qin Lang looked at each other and laughed out loud, this is the mountains and rivers not turning, and the mountains and rivers meet again!
I didn't expect it to be the Min family!
That's even more necessary to buy it! Otherwise, the Min family's land is behind their own Zhuangzi, and it feels like a diaphragm when you think about it.
"Buy it! In addition, you keep an eye on the Min family's grange, and if the Min family releases a rumor to sell it, buy it quickly. Ask Jiang Zhou about the silver. ”
"Yes, yes," Liu Zhuang nodded with a smile and took the initiative to introduce: "The Min family's grange is only about three miles away from ours, and it will take less than a quarter of an hour to arrive, and I heard that there are three hundred acres of good fertile land!" There is also a large area of dry land, and all kinds of vegetables, soybeans, peanuts, corn, etc. grow very well, and the land is much more fertile than the land behind our Zhuangzi! ”
