"I don't know." Qi Ping smiled faintly and motioned to the farmers behind him to continue.

Chen Wenwu looked at the old man at this time and was heartbroken, "This old gentleman, how can you pay so much rent." ”

Ninety eggs can be exchanged for a lot of money in Chang'an.

These farmers are all poor people, and Lotte Hou doesn't even give them a way to live?

"Uh, Aba, Aba......"

The old man waved his hand, gestured a big circle, and then a small circle, spread his hands, and showed the wry smile that was originally happy but easy to misunderstand.

Chen Wenwu saw this smile and looked at these gestures, and instantly understood.

This Lotte Hou is a dog official!

Hmph, no matter if you are a prince or general, as long as Lao Tzu can't get used to it, you must track it down to the end! Give the people of Lantian a blue sky!

Everyone looked at Chen Wenwu and sighed.

This sigh aggravated Chen Wenwu's suspicions, and he was now almost sure that some of the comments on Lotte Hou Li Hui in the court were true!

How could Your Majesty crown such a person without any character as the marquis of the Tang Dynasty?

The people who exploit the people like this are not worthy of virtue, it will be a butcher's knife on the heads of the people of Lantian, and the status of the prince and the general is really high compared to the common people, doing whatever they want, this kind of thing can't happen.

We must stop Lotte Hou's expropriation of farmers!

"Hmph, why do the farmers of Lotte Hou pay so much rent, this steward, you have to explain clearly."

Chen Wenwu's face was ugly, and even had a smell of fine spirit, Qi Ping looked up and couldn't help sighing.

This is the way of the world, Hou Ye has actually explained it before, saying that if someone comes to ask, you must be calm

And, after all, the tenants of Lotte Hou are not the same as other tenants in the future.

The tenants of other princes and generals, they are not responsible, they only need to distribute the land and then wait for the harvest, but the tenants of the Lotte Marquis's Mansion have to be watched by every servant personally.

In the same way, none of the tenants of the Lotte Marquis Mansion can be stingy, and no one can be left behind.

When other people's tenants pay rent, they will do everything at every turn, there is no way, the harvest is limited, and there is a way to live, especially this year.

However, the tenants of the Lotte Hou Mansion, one by one, through the flow of oil from breeding fertilizer, did not ask for many meat and eggs at the beginning, and it was not too much to take two out of ten.

"Hehe, this official, in fact, you will know these things after watching for a while."

Chen Wenwu is not unreasonable, he is observing, and he also wants to figure out why. Now the eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty are mostly three cents a piece, and for farmers, these things are all luxuries.

Even the people of Chang'an dare not guarantee that they can eat eggs every day.

But when I paid the rent here, I was crazy one by one, ninety eggs, and each family had to pay ninety eggs, which was simply a snatch!

Especially in this year's situation, it is not easy for ordinary people to live......

He didn't mind looking at it more, looking at the sins of this Lotte Hou!

"Liu Da, tell this Shangguan why you want to hand over one hundred and twenty eggs!"

The middle-aged man was Li Hui's tenant, and he was an extremely capable guy who helped Li Hui build a house before.

Li Hui distributed chickens, ducks and geese, but he took his family to put them, and even the five-year-old children followed.

The seventy-year-old mother above also followed, and it was simply not a person releasing poultry, but a poultry man.

But his harvest is also the most, those chickens, ducks and geese don't care how far they run, no matter how far they run, they always come back obediently in the evening, lay eggs in three days, start with three or five at a time, and lay ten eggs at the most, even Liu Da began to wonder if there was something wrong with this chicken, duck and goose.

In the end, he had accumulated 600 eggs, and he kept a lot of them at home, and he was reluctant to give up the children to eat them every day.

He clearly remembered the incomprehension and embarrassment on the faces of the farmers when Hou Ye first asked them to raise poultry.

At that time, he was the only one who silently chose to believe, and it was okay not to believe it, look at it now, hehe, or say that people are Hou Ye, and we are farmers.

"This Shangguan, since the Hou Ye distributed six chickens, ducks and geese, my family has laid a total of 600 eggs, and today is just according to the agreement when the Hou Ye gave it free of charge."

"Among them, there are 200 eggs, 200 duck eggs, 200 goose eggs, and a total of 120 need to be rented, right?"

The more Chen Wenwu listened, the more strange he became, what was going on? Chickens, ducks and geese laying eggs are so terrifying? Is this still a chicken, duck and goose?

As far as he knows, Datang's chickens, ducks and geese only lay eggs once every three to five days, and only one or two eggs at a time.

How is this family's poultry ......

"Hehe, you haven't seen the world at first glance, although you are an official, I still want to talk about you."

Liu Da smiled, "Do you know how much effort Hou Ye put into making us tenants have enough to eat?" ”

"Master Hou is a good person, but you people are too much to stare at this bit of rent."

"There are so many eggs, and there are not many for Hou Ye, most of them belong to us, besides, Hou Ye didn't mention the money for those chickens, ducks, geese and pigs at the beginning."

"Such a good Hou Ye, where can I find it in the world, don't you say?"

Liu Da was so happy, "Don't make a fuss, the last time I worked for Hou Ye, Hou Ye said, Datang has just started, you farmers have to work hard, the better Datang is, the better your life will be." ”

"Hey, I didn't believe it at first, but now you see, the children at home are tired of eating eggs? Can you believe it? ”

Liu Da still blew it, how could the child be tired of eating, he was just reluctant, of course, at this time, he would definitely not be wrong when he spoke to Hou Ye.

Chen Wenwu felt that his face was hot, he didn't know the Tao in it, but now he thought about it carefully.

This Lotte Hou's means are indeed a bit high, and these farmers are either bought by him, or they are really grateful to him.

Impossible, there can be no officials in the world who do not exploit the people!

I must insist on fairness and justice, no matter who it is, it can't stop me from pursuing the truth!

He was unmoved, his heart was surging, just looking at Qi Ping and paying the rent.

Liu Da sighed, signed on the paper, and wrote his name crookedly, looking like he had just practiced, "See, Master Hou said, you have to learn to write by yourself, a manly man, you can't even write your own name, it's a shame." ”

At sunset, the farmers lined up one by one, Chen Wenwu watched for a whole afternoon, this is nothing, he has long been accustomed to standing all afternoon, when handling cases, many things are more cumbersome than these.
