Chapter 226: Tenants

Besides, Uncle Han Lin never said that he should press his handprint to be a steward, and he can't forget his roots, even if he is asked to be a steward for Old Man Xiang for a lifetime, he is willing.

"Villagers, Uncle Han Lin bought a farm on the outskirts of the city, just looking for tenants, if you want, come to me to sign up, Uncle Han Lin also prepared a place for tenants to live, but the heavy snow has collapsed the house, and those who want to live have to repair it to live."

"My Family Registration"

Xiangping Niang was the first to rush out, Jixiang frowned invisibly, Xiangping can be regarded as a good friend who grew up with his bare butt, but in the matter of treating Xiangyuan, Jixiang is still a little wary.

"My family also signed up"

Xiangzhu stood up, he is also a good friend of Jixiang, he has already married a wife and had children, for the more than a dozen mouths in the family, he has already overdrawn his body, and now standing opposite Jixiang, it seems that he can be an auspicious uncle.

"Xiangzhu, you have a lot of men, and the children are not small, so you can share a few acres of land." Ji Xiang said to him.

Xiangzhu nodded again and again, it's not okay if you don't have more tenants, otherwise you won't be able to support a large family.

"I'm also signing up for ......"

Orion stood up, and Fugui was the first to call him out during the plague, so Fugui can also be regarded as his family's benefactor.

"I'm also signing up for ......"

In an instant, six out of ten households were registered, and the remaining four were waiting, they did not want to be tenants in their hearts, and the grain they had worked so hard to grow had to be handed over to the landlord, and it was distressing to think about it.

The village chief began to register, Zhangyue Farm has 110 acres of land, and Fugui has already set 10 acres of land, even if his family is a landlord, he does not like to get something for nothing.

Of the remaining 100 acres of land, he and Hanhe have already eaten 20 acres, and there are still 80 acres left, and in the blink of an eye, six families have already occupied 70 acres of land.

There are also the last ten acres of land, the butcher stood up, although he mainly kills pigs, but now at this time, where are there pigs for him to slaughter, it is better to farm honestly.

Ji Xiang smiled, my uncle will farm, don't waste your efforts when the time comes, but the old man Xiang patted the butcher on the shoulder, by him, how can you lose your money.

The remaining four families couldn't help but look at each other, just such a little effort, the field was gone, and at this time they turned the corner, but it was too late.

"Uncle Han Lin, I also want to share a few acres of land......"

"Han Lin, you and I are peers, and after a lifetime of friendship, you have to sell some face to me."

"Grandpa Xiang, my brother and I are left in my family, I want to support my younger brother, can you give me two acres of land." A boy about the same age as Xiangchu asked timidly.

Old Man Xiang shook his head helplessly, that's all there is to the field, everyone has already registered their fingerprints, how can they get it back.

Coriander also ran up with Xiangdou, and knelt down directly with her legs bent: "Grandpa, my sister and I have no place to live, beg grandpa to take it in, we sisters can do anything, just ask for a bowl of porridge, a place to shelter from the wind." ”

Looking at the two girls who have not yet reached the end of the year, not only the old man Xiang feels difficult to deal with, but even the village chief feels a toothache, the second child of the Xiang family is not a man, and he doesn't know where he died with his son, leaving the two daughters struggling to survive.

But he is still the village head, and he can't say anything about driving people away, so he can only look at Old Man Xiang and ask: "Why don't you give them two sisters a room, let them embroider with Shui Miao, and they can also sell some silver to make a living." ”

Now that the village chief has spoken, of course Old Man Xiang will not refute the village chief's face, he has the heart to let the village chief manage, as long as it is reasonable and regular, he can discuss it.

Seeing that the old man nodded, Coriander hurriedly pulled his sister to kneel down and kowtow to the old man and the village chief, the village chief sighed and asked his daughter-in-law to help them up, but his tone became stern again:

"Coriander, I have to make some things clear, if the father and brother of the two of you come over, I can't take you here, it's really not a good match for your father and mother."

Coriander was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but despair surged in her heart, her sisters snatched the food on the cart, as a father who wanted to sell them, she would never let go of herself.

"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, if my father and brother come to me, we will leave here immediately." Coriander hurriedly said.

The village chief nodded, it was he who left the two sisters on his own initiative, so he must not bring trouble to Uncle Han Lin, otherwise he would not be sensible, and when he saw that everyone was ready, he said:

"Uncle Han Lin, it's still early today, or we will go to the farm today, repair what should be repaired, clean up what should be cleaned up, and we can live in it as soon as possible."

Old Man Xiang nodded hurriedly, he gave Fugui some silver and grain, and asked him to take Xiangchu and those villagers to work in Zhangyue Farm.

Looking at the mighty procession leaving, the remaining four families suddenly knelt down, and the food in their hands was running out, although they could exchange their labor for silver, and use silver to buy cheap grain.

But they didn't have a place to live, and the old man Xiang and his family had already left the official temple, and the official temple also sent a message to let them find a place to move out as soon as possible, otherwise they would have to let the officials come and take them away.

"Uncle Han Lin, please give me a few acres of land, I swear with my life and my son's life, I will work hard, and there will be no moths."

"Hanlin, I'm old, I can't land much, just two acres can't work, I can't eat, I can't do it one day, I'll leave by myself."

"Grandpa Xiang, my brother and I really didn't react just now, and our brothers only need two acres of land to make ends meet, otherwise there is nowhere to go."

Old Man Xiang sighed, it seems that the only way to let the rich ten acres of land be given up, and the four families are almost divided, otherwise, what to do, you can't really see death and not save it.

"Then you rush over and tell the village chief, let my family's rich land be tenanted to you, but it's only ten acres of land, and there is no more."

Several people were ecstatic, and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to the old man Xiang, the old man shook his hand again and again, you farm, I take a cut, you spend effort, I spend silver, everyone takes what they need, there is really no need to be so polite.

The sixth prince looked at his uncle's embarrassed appearance, and sighed in his heart, if his uncle lived in a big family in the imperial city and was exposed to the family management, he would definitely not be so humble.

It seems that he wants to ask the shopkeeper Zhao to give good guidance to his aunt and grandfather, the master is the master, and the slave is the slave, although those villagers are not slaves yet, but being so humble will make these tenants lose respect for the Xiang family.

You must know that when these tenants bully the old man, it is too late to change, so you have to change it as soon as possible.
