The village chief's son thought that his father said a few days ago that if the Qian family didn't come.

Then next month's autumn harvest, the grain will be all from the village.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Qian family suddenly came, and he was still a serious master.

The village chief's family can only be happy when they see them.

Originally, the village chief experienced a major flood last year, and in April, he deliberately wanted to move out of here and join his eldest son in the next county.

It's just that the autumn harvest is not long away, so I think about collecting the grain before leaving.

Ye Qing walked around the courtyard, and she didn't have any interest in this house, she didn't want to start a house here.

The gap between this village and what she imagined was so great that she was not even interested in taking care of this Zhuangzi.

Thinking of what Qian Junbao told her last night that Wu Yu was interested in selling Homeinn.

She wanted to buy some of the land around the inn and build a manor there.

Ye Qing flattened his mouth helplessly, and secretly thought: "It seems that the house should be built at the back of the inn." It is a place for planting and breeding, as long as the embankment along the river is repaired. ”

Qian Junbao naturally saw Ye Qing's disappointed expression, and he asked, "Lady, what do you think of here?" ”

Ye Qingyi furrowed his brows, "It's not good, it's not the same as expected." ”

"Well, I think so too, lady, what are you going to do now?"

Ye Qing shook his head, pointed to a large piece of farmland outside Zhuangzi and said, "I don't plan to start a house here."

You see, the better paddy fields in front belong to Zhuangzi.

But this side is very low, and if there is a little more water, it will be backwatered and waterlogged.

The rest of the place is against the sandy land by the river, which is even worse, and the more than 100 acres of mountainous land are all planted with old tea.

This kind of tea is not a famous tea, and it is not useful at all, so it is better to plant some oil tea. ”

Qian Junbao sighed, "My father, I'm afraid he was also deceived...."

While the two were talking, they saw Qian Shanbo coming over.

"Old butler, are they all settled?" Qian Junbao asked.

Qian Shanbo wiped the fine sweat on his head and said slowly: "I just met with the village chief and a few big tenants, but they all hope that the main family can reduce the rent a little this year." ”

Qian Junbao nodded in agreement.

Qian Shanbo continued: "Last year's year was not good, but this year fortunately there was no heavy rain, which looks pretty good, but at the foot of the mountain in the east, there are a lot of houses and land.

Some of the tenants have also moved, and there are only 28 tenants from the 40 tenants we had. ”

Ye Qing sighed, "There's nothing to say, it's all dependent on the sky for food." Originally, the tenants here did not seem to be doing very well.

I also think it's a little strange, it's not too far from the town, so it shouldn't be that bad. Except for a catastrophe last year, previous years should be good, right? ”

"I only farm, I don't do some other industries, and the village chief here heard that it was very exploitative, so life naturally didn't get better." Qian Shanbo replied.

Ye Qing asked strangely: "You can also raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep here." Why don't they raise? You can also hunt, and there are mountains on three sides. ”

"There is no capital, where to raise livestock, and there is no prey in the back mountain here, this side is a cliff, and the east side originally belonged to the mountain owner.

Wherever you are allowed to enter the mountain, the prey inside will be sacrificed to the master's family at the end of the year.

Also, there was a big mountain fire the year before last, but the mountain has not recovered yet. Qian Shanbo shook his head and said, these are what the current village chief told him.

Ye Qing thought for a while, walked a few steps and suddenly asked, "Old housekeeper, how much rent did the tenant have to pay?" ”。

"Fifty percent rent."

"Half of it, so much?"

"Young lady, five achievements are normal, and in some places it is even seventy percent." Qian Shanbo said immediately.

Ye Qing's brows furrowed.

I quickly thought that the landlords at this time could not have philanthropists, and five or five was just a relatively conservative number.

Because even in the ancient times of her world, in the dynasties where land annexation was more intense, the landlord's rent was even more than three or seven on the surface.

"Junbao, how much will we reduce the rent here this year? 30 or 20 percent? ”

Before Qian Junbao could answer, Qian Shanbo immediately spoke: "Young lady, don't say anything about reducing it to two percent."

There is a law for this, and in the year of disaster, 30 to 40 percent of the rent will be collected. We can't break this example, otherwise we will have to drown in the spittle stars when it spreads. ”

"......" Ye Qing's eyes widened a little, not to mention those landlords who expropriated and extorted, but to talk about people with good intentions.

It seems that this is the so-called unspoken rules of the industry, and the landlord also has his rules.

Ye Qing reluctantly said that he was measured and would deal with it carefully.

Then she asked the old butler something.

For example, how much can an acre of land produce in a normal year?

Qian Shanbo thought for a while and said: "The high-quality paddy fields here, when the year is good, there are at most three or four hundred catties of rice, and it must be a bumper harvest year."

In the case of medium fields, it is generally more than 200 catties of rice.

No matter how bad the field is, it is planted with some corn and sweet potatoes, and this kind of harvest is still okay.

This is also thanks to the seeds that the founding queen brought back from overseas when she was young. Otherwise, Daewoo used to starve all over the land in a disaster year, selling his sons and daughters, which was still light. ”

Ye Qing listened carefully and knew that as long as the flood was prevented here, it would be a Zhuangzi that could develop, so he settled down.

It's just that she still won't choose the place where she wants to live, and she wants to change places to get up and start a house.

It's best not too far from Home Inn Inn, she has already decided to buy Home Inn and plans to redecorate it.

Ye Qing glanced around again, and then asked, "Old housekeeper, you helped ask the village chief, are they willing to sell us some more land?" ”

"The village chief said that he would talk to the clan elders in the village, and let us wait for a long time."

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Well, in that case, the old housekeeper, you are here waiting for news." I went to the county office with my husband and came back in the afternoon. ”

After Qian Junbao also explained to the housekeeper, he took Ye Qing to the town in a carriage to find the head of the house.

After entering the county office, they found Lai Shouzheng, the head of the house, and explained his intentions, and Lai was very enthusiastic about Qian Junbao.

Soon the couple was invited to the hall inside the house to talk.

"Come, drink tea first." Lord Lai said politely.

Qian Junbao didn't drink tea, and went straight to the point: "Lai, we want to build a house at the foot of the West Mountain, and we want to buy some land." ”

"Yes, I don't know if there is a suitable place there, the key is to make the place bigger and the environment better." Ye Qing summed up.
