Chapter 245: Collecting Rent
When Wang Xiulian heard this, she said: "Since Gu Bo has spoken, it must be not bad, then I will put this rent into the warehouse." ”
The Jiang family's warehouse was in the west corner of the courtyard, and Wang Xiulian was about to pick up the millet and put it into the warehouse, when Jiang Yun stepped forward, scooped up the flat pole on the ground, and said, "Let me try it." ”
When Wang Xiulian reacted, the other party had already snatched the flat burden in her hand, and seeing that the other party was going to take it seriously, she hurriedly said: "Boss, you put it down, just let me do this work." ”
Jiang Yun didn't pay attention to it, put it on his shoulders, hooked the rope hook to the basket of the valley, squatted down, made a gesture and exerted force, and shouted, "Get up!"
Under the eyes of everyone, the expected situation of the basket rising in response did not happen, I saw someone still half-squatting there with bared teeth and grinning, blushing and thick-necked, but the two loads of millet seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and still did not move.
Seeing this, everyone laughed, and the maid Youlan was even more panting with laughter, and said, "Childe, if you can't pick it, let's let Sister Xiulian come." ”
"This stinky girl, what are you talking about, so underestimating your son-in-law, will your son-in-law still be no match for your sister Xiulian? But these two hundred catties of millet are really heavy, Miss Wang is really powerful." ”
"I'll do it again, get up!" This time, Jiang Yun straightened up, and the two loads of millet also rose in response, picked up on his shoulders, and then began to walk towards the warehouse, but the footsteps were faltering, and the two loads of millet began to sway, and someone's steps were also swaying, like a drunk person.
Everyone laughed again, and the maid Youlan shouted again on the side, saying, "Son, be careful, don't fall, let Sister Xiulian pick it!"
Wang Xiulian on the side was so angry that she gritted her teeth, did someone clearly mean it, she didn't believe it, she could afford these two hundred catties of millet as a weak woman, and the other party, a child who had been baptized by the Temple of Literature, would have such a hard time, didn't she deliberately pretend to be cold.
Jiang Yun stumbled into the warehouse with the grain, poured the grain down, and walked back with a pair of empty baskets, the maid Youlan ran forward with a smile, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of the other party, and said with a grin: "Childe, you are tired, I told you a long time ago, this work is tiring." ”
Wang Xiulian said angrily on the side: "Don't wipe it, you can see that the owner's face is not red and breathless, where is there sweat." ”
Jiang Yun said: "I'll have it later, I will be given the work of storing the millet today, and I am sorry for Xiaolan's heart without sweating." ”
Hearing Childe's praise, Youlan smiled proudly, and everyone else laughed too, but they didn't take each other's words seriously.
After Wang Xiulian picked the rent, as if they had agreed together, Sun Yongchang's family, Niu Gui's family, and other Jiang tenants began to pick up rents one after another, and the front of the Jiang family's compound became lively, piled up with baskets of yellow and clear grain.
"Owner, I think it's better to pay the rent according to the three-percent convention. Sun Yongchang said, this year's bumper year, only pay 20% of the rent, so that he is not sure, today he not only picked a large load of grain, but also picked a full load of dogs and came over, obviously his family has more rent.
Jiang Yun's face sank and he shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, it will be the norm to rent two percent in the future! If you pick more, you will pick it back for me, and if you don't pick enough, don't want to fool around, you can pick it all over!"
Everyone laughed, if it was in previous years, everyone might really play some tricks, and it would be good to pick a little less star, but now, it's just a twenty percent rent, where would they still play such a cautious eye, they are all based on a sufficient amount, only a lot more.
"Coming, coming, let's let!" With a few shouts, I saw a group of people striding over with baskets full of grain, and the people who came were Wang Tiezhu and Zhang Daniu.
Looking at the baskets of yellow and clear grain piled up in front of the yard, for some reason, Jiang Yun did not have the joy of a bumper harvest, and a sense of guilt of the landlord's old wealth arose. He muttered to himself.
"What are you still doing here, hurry up and pass the scales, finish the rent, there is still something at home, the owner, this year's rent is 20%!" Wang Tiezhu said loudly, glaring at the other party with a fierce attitude as he spoke, as if the other party wanted to say no word, he would jump up and make trouble without agreeing.
Jiang Yun snorted and said, "It's not just that this year's rent is 20%, I said, 20% rent is the Jiang family's practice in the future." ”
"Okay!" Wang Tiezhu took the lead in applauding and said, "Dongjia, just by virtue of your words, I, Wang Tiezhu, can be regarded as obedient to you!"
The other people were also smiling, completely letting go of their worries, they were originally worried that this matter would change, but now they heard that Jiang Yun personally confirmed the matter of these two rents, and once again said that this is the practice in the future, how can they be unhappy, if they can pay less rent, who is not happy.
In a harmonious atmosphere, Gu Bo took a small notebook and began to collect it door to door, because at a glance, each family gave enough rent to 20%, so there was no need to be so troublesome, take out the big bucket and small bucket to pass the scales one by one, with experience, Gu Bo glanced at the rent of each family, and confirmed that it was almost the same, even if it was over.
After the rent is about to be put into storage, when I see someone pick up the grain, after doing the work of storage, everyone was stunned, what is the owner doing, picking the grain into the warehouse, what does this mean.
Everyone was stunned for a while, wondering what the meaning of someone doing this is true, Gu Bo, Wang Xiulian and others saw it, and they couldn't cry or laugh, they originally thought that the other party was joking, just picked a load of warehousing, and tried a fresh one, I didn't think that the other party was real, and I really wanted to pack this warehousing job.
"Boss, how can I let you do this work, you put it down, let's do it. "Sun Yongchang, Niu Gui and other tenants came back to their senses, and they rushed forward to stop someone's movement.
Jiang Yun didn't agree, and waved his hand at these tenants who rushed forward to pick up the burden on his shoulders, and said, "You all retreat, and the work of entering the warehouse today will be contracted to me." ”
After a pause, looking at everyone with a look of great puzzlement, he said again: "The key point of the treasury, idlers are exempted!"
Seeing someone pretending to be profound, the tenants were stunned for a while, the treasury is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter? What does this mean, is there any secret in the treasury, which cannot be easily revealed? Yes, the other party is not an ordinary person now, but a child master, that is a saint disciple of the Eight Classics, a Shilin character, this identity is different, it can't be as casual as before, and it is ordinary to be more exquisite.
Everyone felt that they had figured it out, and felt that this should be the new rules of the new Tong Sheng Jiang, since it was a new rule and a new exquisiteness, then they couldn't do much more, and if they broke this new rule, they would be new and exquisite, otherwise they would make Master Jiang unhappy, and they would have no good fruit to eat.
Therefore, everyone stopped fighting, and let Jiang Yun carry the grain and do this warehousing work.
When you become a child's master, you are amazing, your tail is up to the sky, but you have given birth to so many strange rules, and you can't even enter the treasury at will? Isn't this asking for hardship, and you are still a nerd, even if you are a child, you can't change this pedantic and stupid character. Some people disagreed, but they just muttered in their hearts and didn't say it.
"Childe, you can take a break, let everyone do this work, wasn't it like this before. Seeing someone carrying a burden and working hard, Gu Bo, Wang Xiulian, Youlan and others persuaded one after another, but Jiang Yun didn't listen and refused anyone's help.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with Childe. Youlan was anxious and worried, thinking that her son-in-law had relapsed into an old illness and committed some kind of dementia, there had been such precedents before.
"The treasury is heavy, idlers are not allowed to enter, what is the ...... is this" Gu Bo muttered, trying to guess the deep meaning of the other party's actions.
Wang Xiulian was also very puzzled by someone's current behavior, and looked at her grandfather with inquiring eyes, hoping to get an answer from the other party, but Uncle Wang was also puzzled, looking at the "strange behavior" of someone carrying a burden back and forth between the courtyard and the warehouse, and was puzzled.
If someone had approached and listened carefully, they might have been able to hear someone muttering to themselves while carrying a burden: "I don't want to be an evil landlord, I don't want to be an evil landlord......
The Jiang family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, and today is the day of centralized rent payment, and the rent in front of the Jiang family's courtyard is full of tens of thousands of catties, and Jiang Yun refuses anyone's help, and he has to pick up tens of thousands of catties of millet into the warehouse alone, and later, he sweats on his forehead and gasps.
"Childe, why are you so troubled? The maid Youlan stepped forward and wiped the other party's sweat with a handkerchief.
"I'm not tired. Jiang Yun gasped.
"I don't say I'm tired, it's all breathing!" Youlan said again: "If yes, if the warehouse is not easy to enter, or let Sister Xiulian help, anyway, Sister Xiulian is not an outsider." ”
Hearing her words, Wang Xiulian, who was standing next to her, suddenly blushed, and secretly scolded this dead girl, she was simply open-mouthed, in public, what nonsense, but scolding and scolding, how could she feel useful in her heart, she couldn't help but open her ears wide and listen to the other party's answer.
"No, there's not much left, I'll do it all by myself. Hearing someone's answer, Wang Xiulian was a little disappointed.
"Well, then let people carry the grain outside the storehouse and not let them go inside, which will save a lot of effort...... Yes, Xiaolan can not go in in the future. Hearing this, the little girl nagged again.
Jiang Yun listened, but he was speechless, he really took his words that the treasury is heavy and idlers are exempt from entering, he didn't explain much, just said: "Yes, of course you can, Xiaolan can go in whenever you want." ”
"Hee-hee-" I heard the little girl laugh happily.
Today's dinner is very rich, there is oily braised pork, Jiang Yun and the maid Youlan sat at a table to eat, Gu Bo ate by himself in the kitchen, Jiang Yun said many times, Gu Bo did not listen, refused on the grounds of non-compliance, and even counted Youlan many times, but Youlan didn't listen, she was used to this, plus with Jiang Yun's support, she was not afraid of her grandfather with a straight face, Gu Bo had no choice but to follow the other party.
"Childe-" While eating, Youlan suddenly stopped, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun asked.
Youlan said: "Xiaolan said, don't be angry. In the future, it is customary to rent a child, although the reputation of the son is a good person, but the family's income is much less, I see, I see that this braised pork will eat a little less in the future. As he spoke, he looked at the braised pork in the bowl, with a reluctant face.
Jiang Yun snorted and said, "If you are tired of eating braised pork, then eat fish, chicken, duck and goose, beef and sheep......"
"Ahh ”
Jiang Yun shook his head again and again, and said, "Of course not, doesn't Xiaolan like to eat these?"
Youlan frowned and said: "Childe will go to school in the future, it will cost a lot, so it's better to save it." ”
Jiang Yun said: "You don't have to worry about your son-in-law's schooling, in fact, it doesn't cost much to go to school." ”
Youlan said: "Why can't you spend money, don't say the pen, ink, paper and inkstone consumed in writing and copying books on weekdays, I heard that if you want to grow in your studies, you have to observe the ink of the predecessors and celebrities, do you have it on hand, I heard that the real ink of such predecessors and celebrities are worth a lot of money, and a pair of less to say will cost a dozen taels or dozens of taels of silver." ”
Jiang Yundao: "Yes, of course. ”
"Really. Youlan was skeptical, paused, and said, "Otherwise, I will ask my grandfather to take out some silver, or buy a pair of ink from the predecessors, which will be very beneficial to my son's education." ”
Jiang Yun waved his hand again and again, and said, "There really is, not only one, but two." ”
Youlan said eagerly: "Really, the ink of the predecessor of the son is genuine, I heard that there are a lot of fakes and fakes in the market, but the harm is not shallow, many people have bought these fakes, but they are all miserable, don't be deceived." ”
She suspected that most of the ones bought by the other party were fakes, otherwise they were really worth a lot, how could there be two.
Jiang Yun said again: "Of course it's true, it comes from the Ten Thousand Volumes Study, and after the appraisal of the Ten Thousand Volumes Study, how can it be fake?"
Youlan listened, it is something from the ten thousand volumes of the study, but a lot of peace of mind, the golden signboard of the ten thousand years of the study is naturally very trustworthy, but she also suspects that this manuscript may be genuine, but the quality is not very good, maybe it has been observed and changed hands many times, and the residual atmosphere on it is just a defective product.
She said again: "Childe is now a child, and he is also a person with status, and the manuscripts of the remnants of the predecessors are not uncommon, and it is not very useful for Childe's education, so it is better to change to a better one." ”
Jiang Yun waved his hand again and said, "There is no need to change it again, my two manuscripts are not bad, they are both Xuan-level superb." (To be continued.) )
