Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know that Aunt Li had inadvertently leaked out that she couldn't have children, and she didn't know that Mrs. Zhu was already thinking about giving her to someone else's family as a steproom.

However, even if you know, it doesn't matter if you know Xia, maybe you will say that the leak is good, the leak is wonderful, and the leak is croaking. leaked out, and there was always a matchmaker in the province to say goodbye.

Jiang Zhixia's thoughts were all on going to Zhu Cuilou to send patterns and get dividends.

I don't know how much I can take? It's a little exciting to think about.

On the morning of the first day of October, Jiang Zhixia got up early to wash up, and after breakfast, he began to hold a book and watch the passage of time casually.

If you want to get money, you can't go early in the morning, as if you want to ask for a debt.

People here are still a little superstitious, thinking that if you don't get money in early in the morning, you won't have a good profit that day.

Therefore, no matter how urgent Jiang Zhixia's mood was, he didn't dare to run to the door of Zhu Cuilou early in the morning to ask for money.

Jiang Zhixia just read a book like this, and at the same time missed the moment from time to time.

At the end of the day, Xiao Man came in from outside the door and said in a vivid voice what her mother, Aunt Zhang, was going to do today.

Aunt Zhang's cooking skills were originally very ordinary.

After all, she was originally just an ordinary country woman, she didn't have any good ingredients, and she hadn't seen so many ingredients. Later, after coming to Changlong Yaxing, I learned to cook for a while with the mother-in-law of Yaxing. After arriving at Jiang Zhixia's house, Zhixia loves to eat and will make it. Therefore, Aunt Zhang followed Jiang Zhixia to study food together, and now her skills are getting better and better.

Zhixia has Xiaoman to talk with, and it feels like time is not so difficult.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door by Aunt Zhang.

"Girl, there is an ox cart outside the door, saying that it is renting." Aunt Zhang's face was beaming. This rent collection is a great thing, how can you not be happy?

"Pay the rent?" Jiang Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had a small village outside the capital with more than a dozen acres of land. At this time, isn't it all good to harvest and pay rent for yourself?

"Quick, please go to the front yard reception hall. I'll go over it. Jiang Zhixia excitedly put on his shoes and walked out. It was Xiao Man who grabbed her and put a robe on her.

Jiang Zhixia hurriedly walked to the front yard, and after passing the corner gate, he saw that an ox cart had entered the courtyard. Next to the ox cart stood the head of the ox farm and his son, whom he had seen last time.

"Hello girl, please." When Niu Zhuangtou and his son saw Jiang Zhixia come out, they hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me." Jiang Zhixia looked at the dozen bags on the ox cart and was a little puzzled.

Why didn't the harvest come all? Is there a car in the back?

Zhixia bypassed the wall and saw that Uncle He had installed the threshold and was closing the door.

Jiang Zhixia led Niu Zhuangtou and his son to the reception hall full of doubts, then asked them to sit down, and asked Aunt Zhang to serve tea.

"It's hard to get there, isn't it?" Although full of doubts, Jiang Zhixia still asked with a greeting first.

"It's not hard, I loaded the car in the morning and sent it to the girl. It's just that the ox cart is slow, and it is still at this hour that it arrives at you. After Niu Zhuangtou thanked Jiang Zhixia, he hurriedly replied.

"The weather is fine this year, and the harvest is good, right?" Jiang Zhixia didn't know what to ask, so he could only continue to greet him.

"It's true that the weather is okay this year, and the harvest is quite good. The girl's fields were all of the best and medium fields, and the tenants tended to the crops and tended them carefully. The high-grade fields basically collected 150 catties per acre, and the medium-class fields were almost 100 catties. In this way, a total of 2,000 catties of grain were collected. Niu Zhuangtou said proudly.

Then he reported in detail, "The tenants left a thousand catties for themselves, and according to the agreement of fifty percent of the rent, they should have sent a thousand catties to the girl." Because the grain official went to Zhuangzi to collect the tax directly, we directly paid a tax of 100 catties. The field tax is thirty taxes one, so sixty-six catties were paid, plus the Ding tax and the tax adjustment, it was just a whole number, and a total of 100 catties were paid. So this time I sent 900 catties to the girl. Niu Zhuangtou knew that Zhixia was a palace maid before, and he might not know how to pay taxes, so he explained it in detail.

And Jiang Zhixia only heard the words in front, and didn't listen carefully to the words in the back at all.

"What? Two thousand pounds? Jiang Zhixia was shocked when he heard this number, "Is there a total of two thousand catties of fifteen acres of land?" ”

"yes. The girl's land is quite fat, and the tenants are also good at waiting. This year's weather is good, isn't it just a good harvest? Niu Zhuangtou was shocked when he saw Jiang Zhixia, and thought that the high yield shocked Zhixia, so he was even more proud.

And Jiang Zhixia was directly shocked to the point of being at a loss.

In the previous life, generally one acre of land could produce more than 1,000 catties, the high yield was 1,500 or 600 catties, and the low yield was 8 or 900 catties. But now, this kind of high-grade field is only more than 100 catties, which is more than ten times worse.

These two thousand catties are quite a lot, but now, if you sell grain alone, one catty is only a dozen yuan, and two thousand catties are only sold for twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Jiang Zhixia finally understood why when she bought the land, Liu Po said that this kind of small land family was not eye-catching.

Isn't it unsightly? Twenty or thirty taels of silver is not enough for a large family to go out for a meal.

Jiang Zhixia was unprecedentedly disappointed.

Blame her for thinking too simply. I mistakenly think that the yield per mu in this life is the yield per mu in the previous life.

In this life, I haven't learned about farming in the palace, so I take it for granted. I thought that with these lands, I could eat and drink without worry--- I can't say wrong, I really don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but if I want to live a comfortable life, I really can't count on this Zhuangzi and the land.

"Okay, you're tired from traveling, let's go back after lunch in a while." Jiang Zhixia was a little depressed.

"Okay. Girl. Where do you see this grain being unloaded? Niu Zhuangtou didn't notice Jiang Zhixia's emotions, "In addition, the fruit trees in the backyard of Zhuangzi have produced some fruits, and I brought some good ones for the girl to try." ”

"Thank you, Niu Zhuangtou. The grain will be unloaded in this room near the east wing. Uncle He helped Niu Zhuang take the lead. Jiang Zhixia wilted and arranged for Uncle He to help Niu Zhuangtou unload the grain.

asked Xiaoman to help Aunt Zhang cook, so that Niu Zhuangtou's father and son could eat.

After everything was arranged, she was left alone to sit in the reception hall in a daze.

After unloading the grain, Xiao Man accompanied Zhixia back to the backyard.

Uncle He accompanied Niu Zhuangtou in the front yard and chatted for a while.

At noon, Aunt Zhang came in with a food box to set up a meal for Zhixia, and called Xiaoman to go to her room to eat together.

In the front yard, Uncle He accompanied Niu Zhuangtou and his son to lunch.

After eating, Niu Zhuangtou and the others said goodbye to Zhixia and left.

Jiang Zhixia only ate a few bites lightly before putting down the chopsticks and asking Xiao Man to clean up the table.

Xiao Man was very strange when he came to clean up, he didn't understand why the rent was collected, and the girl was not happy that she ate so little.

But looking at Zhixia's gloomy face, he didn't ask anything, and quickly packed up his things and left.

When she arrived at the kitchen, Aunt Zhang was also very surprised when she saw the food that was almost untouched, and asked Xiao Man vigorously, but unfortunately Xiao Man couldn't tell why she came.

Jiang Zhixia lay on the couch table with a wilt, feeling that his spirit was hollowed out.
