There are several elderly families in the village.

Since the young people in the family went to join the army, there was not enough labor in the family.

So much so that the fields are left untended.

Therefore, other people's fields are full of harvests, but their families can't even pay the rent.

Several old people, hunched over, came to Qin Tao.

Qin Tao warmly received them.

Listen to them about their home situation.

"Sir, we ......"

Several old people were embarrassed and embarrassed.

They were also young, and they didn't obey others when they worked.

However, they had to submit to the years that did not stop.

Aging and frailty.

I can't do my job!

"I understand your situation, a few old people, how old are you?" Qin Tao asked.

The eldest of these old men was seventy-two years old, and the youngest was sixty-one years old.

A few of them finish their age.

Qin Tao made a decision that he had never made before.

"From now on, the rent of your fields will be free, and the land is still your own, and you can't plant it, so you can sublet it to others and collect some grain to make ends meet."

"However, after a hundred years, I will take back the land."

"In addition, I will tell the village chief that in the future, all those in our village who have reached the age of 60 will be free of land rent."

This......

Several old men looked at each other for a moment.

As in a dream.

When they came to their senses, they knelt in front of Qin Tao.

"Master, you are our reborn parent."

"The reincarnation of a living bodhisattva!"

"We're kowtowing to you."

Of course, Qin Tao wouldn't let them kowtow, and quickly helped them up.

"Born in my village, as long as I Qin Tao is here, we must let everyone die old, and there will be little support, and no one will be left behind."

Sent away a few grateful old people.

Qin Tao called the village chief.

After talking to the village chief once, the village chief naturally agreed with Qin Tao's words.

"Tomorrow, the two of us will call some more people to send warmth to the old people in the village."

What warmth to send?

The village chief didn't understand what Qin Tao meant.

The next day, Qin Tao, the village chief, as well as a dozen or so young people in the village, as well as the county officials, and a team of people appeared on the street of the village.

More than a dozen young people, all with red faces, pushed a wheelbarrow.

There was cloth, pork, mutton, rice, noodles and vegetables, and new shoes.

Families with elderly people have received a special gift.

The officials also wrote them down one by one.

"The good deeds of Qin Dashan people should be written into the county annals." The officials said.

The people in the village respected Qin Tao more and more.

Everyone said that in the past, there was a child to prevent old age, but now there is Qin Tao, so there is no need to be afraid of anything.

There are no children and no daughters, as long as there is Qin Tao, they will not be starved to death and frozen to death.

It didn't cost Qin Tao much silver taels in one lap, but it won Qin Tao a good reputation.

Qin Tao didn't say a word about this.

A few days after the incident, a group of people suddenly came to the village.

The first person had unkempt hair and a yellow face, and he looked like he was suffering from chronic malnutrition.

This man was carrying more than a dozen people, all of them, dirty and weak.

They came to the gate of Qin Tao's mansion.

said to Zhao Xin, who was guarding the door, that he wanted to see Master Qin.

Zhao Xin sat in a wheelchair and went in with a grunt to report.

Qin Tao personally came out to greet him.

He didn't know any of them.

However, when these people saw Qin Tao, they knelt on the ground.

"Master Qin, please take us in!"

Qin Tao narrowed his eyes, looked at these people carefully, and asked where did they come from?

They told Qin Tao that they were tenants of Master Shen of Shenjiazhuang, and that the grain harvest was not in place today, and the land rent of Master Shen was not in arrears.

"The old man of the Shen family sent someone to collect all our grain."

"I haven't eaten in more than ten days."

"They all eat yellow mud."

"I can't stand being hungry, I heard that Master Qin is a great good person, so we came to defect."

"As long as we are allowed to eat a bowl of rice, we have to have the strength to treat you as a cow and a horse for the master."

Qin Tao understood the virtues of the big landlords in the vicinity.

They don't care if the tenants live or die.

No one can be left behind in the finalized field rent.

When encountering a year of poor harvest, they are even more ruthless, and they have to take away all the grain, and if it is not enough, it will be recorded in the next year.

Too many tenants owe the landlord's grain like this.

After a whole year of hard work, I couldn't even eat a bowl of rice.

It is not a crime of heaven, but an evil of man.

"Okay, you guys come in first."

"Zhao Xin, ask the kitchen to make a pot of noodle soup and let them eat first."

A crowd of people cried.

They don't have the strength to shed tears, but the true feelings of this world are sometimes not expressed by a few tears.

True gratitude.

After the group of them were full, Qin Tao actually didn't let them eat too much.

Hungry for too long.

A full meal is likely to kill them.

"Which of you is in the lead?" Qin Tao meant to ask, which of them thought of coming to join him first.

All eyes fell on one person.

This man has a tall build, looks like he is in his early thirties, has a red face, prominent eyes, and is full of personality.

"Master Qin, I brought them here."

"If I don't propose, I'm afraid that they won't dare to come because they starve to death, even so, there are still many people who say that Master Qin won't take us in, so they would rather lie at home and save their energy than come."

"My name is Yue Yang."

Qin Tao didn't smile, it could be said that his face was expressionless.

Only in this way can others not see through their own minds.

"Yue Yang, can you be sure that I will take you in?" Qin Tao asked rhetorically.

Actually, this is a very serious question.

It's not as simple as making a few poems.

In this area, there seems to be a feud between villages.

Over time, no one can say why this is happening.

Qin Tao knew that between these tenants who farmed the land, there was no great enmity even if they were in different villages.

Mainly those big landlords, in order to keep their tenants from losing, often instigated them to make trouble with neighboring villages.

For this reason, the tenants did not dare to vote for him.

"This ......" Yue Yang paused, unable to guess what Qin Tao really meant, he said: "Even if Master Qin doesn't take us in, we can understand." ”

"Master Qin, you gave us a bowl of rice to eat, that's enough."

said so, but Qin Tao saw reluctance in their eyes.

Now the people in Qintao Village, every family eats white-flour steamed buns, and it can't be said that there is meat at once, but the living conditions have obviously thrown off the surrounding villages.

Those people are not blind, they all know how good the life of the people in Qintao Village is.

There are not a few people who want to come over.

It's just that no one is the first to do so.

"Yue Yang, a few of you have heard that there is really no place in our village."

As soon as Qin Tao said it, he saw a gloom in the eyes of Yue Yang and the others.

However, Qin Tao then said: "I can build another village for you people, and I will also contract my land, and the land rent will be equal to that of the people in my village." ”
