Song Zhuangtou also knew that the people in the whole Zhuangzi were staring at him, and he needed to get an idea.

To be honest, although this Steward Yao boasted about his young master as if he was something, Song Zhuang didn't believe a word.

A hairy boy who didn't have any hair, and he didn't know where to read a few books, he wanted to direct them, the croppers who had planted the fields all their lives, to farm, which was simply laughing and generous.

But who calls people rich? He bought 300 acres of land without blinking an eye, and worked out such subsidy terms. If he keeps his word, the yield per mu is less than two stones, and he can really subsidize each family with fifteen taels of silver, which is quite a bargain for their Zhuang families who are digging in the ground.

Such a good deal is still done.

As for Du Jinning's statement that the output of more than three stones, the rent of 20% was directly ignored by him.

He has planted the field all his life, except for a few years when God appreciates food and eats, and the wind and rain are particularly smooth, and the field is served very carefully, so that he can produce the yield of three stones. As for the yield of more than three stones per mu, he really hasn't seen it.

This handsome young master is really ignorant and fearless, and he dares to say that he will collect rent only after more than three stones.

Thinking about it, he thought he could give it a try.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll sign a contract with the Du Dong family." ”

As soon as they heard that Old Man Song had agreed to sign the contract, the others "buzzed" and discussed.

Someone asked Old Man Song: "Song Zhuangtou, can this contract really be signed?" ”

Old man Song is an old and serious person, and he doesn't want to take responsibility for such a major matter.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know, what I mean doesn't mean everyone, everyone still thinks clearly." ”

Those who were about to move when they heard him sign the contract hesitated when they heard this.

Du Jinning naturally heard Old Man Song's words, and she was not annoyed, as if she hadn't heard it, she turned her head to Yao Shuqi and said, "Steward Yao, you go and invite the lieutenant to come over and let him be a middleman." ”

"Yes." Yao Shuqi agreed, and rode a horse with a nurse to invite the chief.

As soon as those villagers heard the invitation, there was a burst of discussion.

Du Jinning's conditions, they are naturally tempted. No matter what the harvest in the field is, with Du Jinning's compensation at the bottom anyway, their lives are guaranteed.

Generally, the rent of the landlord's family is about forty percent, and after the annual collection and transaction of rent, and then the payment of taxes, there is not much left, and their life is very difficult. But everywhere it is like this, and it makes no difference whether you share anyone's land and plant it.

Now it's hard to come to a foolish young master, it's not a good thing to take the money seriously, if they don't take advantage of this, then they are fools.

The only thing that worries them is that this handsome Du Dong family is still an official, and his official position is not low, it is said that he is second only to Lord Zhizhou.

Zhizhou mile, an official who is bigger than the county order. Officials protect each other, and all the people in their yamen are their own people. If the grain harvest is not available at that time, the contract that Du Dongjia made with them suddenly cannot be counted, and they will not win if they want to sue in the yamen. I had to swallow my anger and sell my sons and daughters to get through the difficulties of this year.

So this matter has to be cautious.

Now Du Dongjia has taken the initiative to ask the chief to be a guarantee, so there is a little guarantee, right? Everyone is still familiar with the chief, and with a familiar person as a guarantor, their hearts are also more stable.

Song Zhuangtou's in-law surname is Gong, he couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it, so he squeezed to Song Zhuangtou's side and asked him: "You signed a contract with him so happily, are you sure or ...... We are in-laws, broken bones and tendons, you have to tell me the truth. ”

Everyone else pricked up their ears to listen.

Song Zhuangtou shook his head: "I'm not sure." ”

Old man Gong's eyes widened: "I'm not sure you're still signing?" Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to live your life if you don't pay him and don't pay the money? I'm telling you, you can't sell my grandson and granddaughter when the time comes. ”

Song Zhuangtou didn't want to say much, lest he really confiscate it when he got it, causing people to sell his children and women, and being complained by the people in Zhuangzi.

But being stimulated by his in-laws, he couldn't help but say, "If you don't sign, do you still have a good place to go?" Where is there so much good land for you to share? Also, if you tenant someone else's land to plant, do you want to move out? Where is there a place for you to stay? ”

His series of words made Old Man Gong and everyone speechless.

Yes, every landlord has his own tenant farmers who have been cooked, and they are fine with one or two households, but so many dozens of families run to tenant fields, where is there so much spare land for them to share? The ones that can be tenanted by others must be the leftover dry land or newly opened wasteland that has been picked up by others. Where can there be any harvest in such a field? Moreover, I don't know what kind of temperament the new owner is, what if it is even worse than the Du Dong family in front of me?

In addition, although the houses on the Zhuangzi were built by them, the land belonged to the original landlord. Now that the landlord has bought the fields and even the Zhuangzi to the Du Dong family, and the Du Dong family wants to drive them away, they have no reason to stay here. And out of here, where do they go? Even if the new owner can let them settle down, it will cost a lot of money to build a house, right? With these taels or even a dozen taels of silver, why did they leave here? Just because the Du Dong family in front of him is unreliable?

It's these people who are unreliable, right?

Thinking about it like this, everyone suddenly felt that there was no choice.

So some people gritted their teeth and said, "Du Dongjia, let's sign." ”

"Let's sign it too."

People have a herd mentality, and those who don't understand the truth of this are analyzed by others and find that they can't sign it, so they have to follow everyone: "We also sign." ”

Only then did a smile appear on Du Jinning's face.

To be honest, she was really afraid that this group of people would run away.

Without tenant farmers to cultivate her fields, it doesn't matter if she loses some money, but this is a big thing for her. She devised a series of compensation systems and reduced the rent to 20% in order to keep these people.

She wants to make money, and she has more business to do, and she doesn't need to scavenge for oil and water from these farmers who are facing the dirt and facing the sky.

After a while, the lieutenant chief was invited by Yao Shuqi.

Yao Shuqi dealt with him when he bought the land, and he knew that Du Jinning was the same acquaintance, and he was naturally enthusiastic about Du Jinning, so he immediately gave everyone a guarantee and signed the contract.

Du Jinning said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Steward Yao to go to the yamen to apply for a red deed, and then send it back to everyone one by one." This contract is in triplicate, everyone takes one copy for themselves, one copy for me, and one copy for the governor. ”

Seeing that Du Jinning's contract was signed so solemnly, everyone's hearts were a little more settled.

After sending off the lieutenant chief, Du Jinning did not leave, but looked around and looked at the small and dilapidated house left by the original owner.

Finally, she pointed to a small forest not far from Zhuangzi and said, "Here, cut down the trees and build a garden." ”
