The next day, when Guard Chen saw Pei Qing again, the expression on his face was a little strange - like a little angry, and like he wanted to laugh.

"What do you have to put it in?" As soon as Pei Qing saw his appearance, his words were mixed with ice ballast, "Don't tell me you went to find Li Yi." ”

Guard Chen replied with a spring breeze: "Yes, my subordinates have found a way to meet Instructor Li, he is fine, there is only a small scratch on his body, and he is not injured to death at all - don't worry." ”

Pei Qing's voice was like the clear snow in the cold winter moon, and she asked rhetorically: "Have I been worried?" ”

Guard Chen almost bit his tongue, and hurriedly replied: "No, you look cold-hearted, and you are not worried about Instructor Li at all." ”

However, Pei Qing did not spare the Chen guards who were full of desire to survive, she was writing at this time, and it was time to dip the brush in ink, so she pointed the tip of the pen into the inkstone, her eyes fell on the tip of the pen, and she said leisurely: "That's right." So, if you go out of the city to contact Li Yi again...... You don't want to do it in the former county. ”

Her tone was light, but anyone could realize the power of her words.

Guard Chen stiffened slightly, paused with a complicated expression, and replied in a low voice: "Yes!" ”

It's over, the master mother and the master have an awkward quarrel, and the two of them carry it, so how should he eat this bowl of raw rice?

Another day later, Ah Yue, who went to the county next door to rent land, came back.

When she went out this time, she was accompanied by the former county party committee official and ten peasant households whose fields bordered Rang County, and she also held a handwritten letter from Zeng County's order, and when she came, she also brought ten carts of grain.

When she heard that she brought the villagers who were good at farming to rent land and send money in her personal name, the county magistrate did not hesitate to send someone to invite more than a dozen big landowners in the county and let them contact Ah Yue in person.

However, although Rang County is a poor county with a lot of land, there is only one landlord surnamed Qian who is willing to rent out his own land.

The landlord's land happened to be on the border between Rang County and Xi County, and most of it was sandy loam, which was very suitable for planting wheat or beans, but there was one thing, the landlord proposed that the land rent should be paid at double the yield of grain per mu.

If he was given grain, the amount of grain per mu would be twice as high as the maximum yield of 200 catties of his land—400 catties, and he would be willing to rent it.

And if he is given silver, then the lease silver per acre of land will be as high as one or two halves, and he will not rent a penny of silver!

When the landlord of the money made a request, let the county magistrate frequently look at him, but he was ignored by the landlord, the gentry of the Dayan Dynasty was not a poor county magistrate with no background background who could be offended, the old parents of the county magistrate could hint, but the landlord could also ignore the hint of the county magistrate.

The landlord has a total of 500 acres of land, and occupies a small plot of land in Rang County, and it is said that the ancestors have also raised people to enter the country, but they are not only landlords, so as soon as they heard that there are fools who hold money to rent the arrears of land that had been in the drought last year, the landlords are happy to come.

- Fool's money, if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.

Therefore, he asked for a very certain price, and when it was done, he made a lot of money, and he did not lose money every year; No, he can't do without half an acre of land, right?

Let the county magistrate be in a hurry, in the same year, Zeng county magistrate sent someone to send him these ten carts of grain, which can be described as charcoal in the snow, in this green and yellow month, in the case of not being able to use the grain in the official warehouse, these ten carts of grain can save a lot of lives.

Therefore, in the face of "the goodwill of Zeng's county order", he was also determined to make this happen.

"Brother Qian, don't set the price so deadly, after all, the crops depend on the sky to eat, which year is different, you will die like this, what if people can't receive so much grain?" Let the county magistrate persuade bitterly on the side, "The two counties are so close to each other, it's not good to do too much, right?" ”

The landlord didn't listen at all, he was the kind of stubborn landlord who would rather force the tenants to death and collect the entire rent, so that the words of the county order were like bullshit to him.

At this time, Ah Yue, who had been silently observing for a long time, finally spoke: "One or two halves of silver and an acre of land are too expensive to rent." ”

Let the county magistrate take another look at the landlord: "Brother Qian, you will drop it a little, and you won't suffer a loss if you drop it a little." ”

The landlord of the money pouted his teeth and said slowly: "Then one or two or four dollars per mu of land, it can't be less." ”

Ah Yue sat and didn't speak, she was like the most simple old farmer, not good at words and only focused on crops and farmland, she didn't know why the princess sent her out, but even if she was driven to the shelves, she had to hold on to get things done.

If she can't speak, then she won't speak.

Ice.

Ice.

Ice.

After an embarrassing tea time, he still let the county order open his mouth first.

"Brother Qian, don't be so serious, the girl's family must be doing things for the housewife, don't embarrass others." Let the county order try to change angles.

The landlord sneered: "Even if my daughter comes to rent the land, I am also at this price." ”

It's cold again.

Ice.

Ice.

After three rounds of hot tea, the county magistrate persuaded the landlord again: "Drop and drop again." ”

Ah Yue didn't speak, but sat upright in the chair like a rock.

The landlord had the heart to shake his face and get up and leave, but the county order was so low that he wanted to use some more good words, so he could only stalemate.

"One two, three cents and five cents of silver," and in the end, the landlord drank the sixth cup of tea and spat reluctantly.

Ah Yue still didn't speak.

made the county commander anxious, and had to warm up again: "Brother Qian, drop and drop again." ”

The landlord stopped talking now, and only bowed his head to drink tea.

Then continue to chill out.

Ice.

Ice.

Gradually, the landlord felt that something was wrong.

After eating eight cups of tea, his stomach was gradually full, but the young woman who came to rent the land from the former county next door was silent, did not express her position, and did not agree with his offer.

The landlord of the money ...... Start an internal urgency.

He didn't dare to drink any more water, but he couldn't stop his internal urgency.

The stool suddenly became like a pinprick in the eye.

Let the county magistrate seem to be unconscious, and still persuade bitterly: "Brother Qian, drop again, drop again." ”

The landlord gritted his teeth and replied: "One or two dollars of silver and one acre of land, if it is successful, I will leave if it is not successful." ”

Saying that, he was about to get up, but he was firmly held by the county order.

Ah Yue still didn't speak.

made the county magistrate feel that his whole life of mouth had been worn out on this occasion, he pressed the landlord of the money and whispered: "Brother Qian, let's surrender again!" ”

The landlord wanted to split his abdomen and felt more and more critical.

"One tael and one penny!" The landlord glared.

Ah Yue did not answer.

"One tael and five cents of silver!" The landlord's eyes were about to pop out.

Ah Yue still didn't answer.

The landlord gritted his teeth: "One, two, silver, son!" ”

Ah Yue suddenly got up: "Deal, come, sign the contract." ”

As she spoke, she handed over the deed in duplicate.

The landlord of Qian was angry, and he angrily glared at the county order: Old parents, where are you?!

The county magistrate was unconscious, quickly took a pen and paper and handed it to him, and urged earnestly: "Brother Qian, sign and draw." ”

The landlord's bladder was about to explode, so he signed as fast as he could, quickly got up and left here.

When he got up and returned, the ink on his signature was dry.

The woman from Xixian County, who had been stuffy like a gourd, took out a box and handed it to the landlord: "This is the deposit of one hundred taels of silver agreed in the deed, you take it." ”

The heart of the landlord disappeared immediately, and he took the heavy box and opened it to see that there were ten ingots of silver, and all of them were full of official silver!

"Wouldn't it be nice to take this out earlier?" He half-truthfully hugged the silver and complained.

Ah Yue has become the stuffy gourd again.

After collecting the deed, Ah Yue called the ten peasant households who came with her and told the landlord: "The title deed is rented in the name of the 'agricultural cooperative' in which they are a group of ten, and the ten of them will be the tenants of your land in the future." ”

Only then did the landlord take out the deed that had been collected and look through it, and he wondered while reading: "What is a 'agricultural cooperative'?" You're not here to do things for the head wife of a big family? What are you going to plant on my land? ”

Ah Yue succinctly spit out two words: "Beans." ”

The confusion of the landlord of the money went straight to his head: "Beans? Do you grow beans in an acre of land that can only harvest about 100 catties? Then you have to lose an acre of land...... Lost nearly 800 yuan! ”

The county magistrate was also taken aback, and suddenly regretted facilitating this matter.

Who knows, Ah Yue glanced at the landlord of Qian contemptuously, and the very old peasant despised him and said, "I said, you don't understand." ”
