"Young Master, I, I am also ......" Wang Baichuan's face turned pale, and the words he wanted to explain poured out of his mouth like a waterfall.

Maybe he has never been so articulate in his life, and people will only find themselves with such eloquence when they deceive others and cover up their mistakes.

It's a pity that Chu Qianqiu, who is at the bottom of the waterfall, does not move at all, just like a bodhisattva sitting on a purple golden lotus, not disturbed by the outside world.

"Apologize to my fathers and fellow villagers." Chu Qianqiu said softly, and Wang Baichuan first glanced at the young master timidly, and then immediately shouted loudly:

"Fathers and fellow villagers."

"I'm shameless, and I'm not willing to spend money to let the masters of the Wang family use the 'Abundance Order'."

"I'm incompetent, and I'm afraid that the young master will blame me for failing to increase the production of food, so I'll come up with a way to persecute you."

"I'm despicable, watching you make trouble, I want to frame the blame and detain you from the hat of colluding with Great Xia."

Syllable! Syllable!

In order to express his apology, Wang Baichuan raised his hands on the spot and slapped himself when he said a word.

His exertion was very strong, and his face quickly became red and swollen.

"I was wrong, folks! This will kowtow to you, kowtow and admit your mistakes."

After speaking, Wang Baichuan banged on the ground frantically like a jade rabbit pounding medicine, making a sound of winter.

"Don't dare, don't dare! Master Wang, get up quickly."

The villagers of Woniu Village were shocked when they saw this, where could they stand the kowtow of Lord Wang, and with the simple wisdom of the villagers, they could also realize that now there is a Qingtian Lord to avenge them, but the Qingtian Lord will always have a day when he leaves, and only Lord Wang will often meet with them.

Therefore, the villagers knelt down one after another and kowtowed to Wang Baichuan.

Winter, winter, winter.

The scene became chaotic, and everyone was kowtowing to each other.

"Get up." Chu Qianqiu said casually, and everyone who fell to their knees shouted in unison:

"Lord Qingtian!"

But they still maintained the posture of kowtowing and did not dare to get up.

"If you don't get up again, you'll have to raise the rent." Chu Qianqiu didn't say anything about kneeling or not, the people in this world have learned to kneel, and it's not a matter of shouting a few words to help.

"The young master told you to get up, old man, get up quickly." Qing Fen looked for an opportunity and hurriedly ran over, looked at the white-haired old man and helped him, and glanced at Boss Wang proudly by the way.

You vile and shameless villain.

The first time I saw you, I should have kicked you to death.

Wang Baichuan hated it in his heart, this little green skin, a wild boy from the countryside, had actually climbed on his head now.

People can accept people who are higher than themselves, but they cannot accept their own subordinates to ride on their heads.

"Bring some chairs, I'll talk to the elders." Chu Qianqiu didn't want to kill Wang Baichuan with a stick, so he was in a state of staying for inspection, so he casually ordered.

"Bring a chair over here." Wang Baichuan almost shed tears as if he had been amnestied, and regardless of his red and swollen cheeks, he hurriedly ran to the farmer's house to personally help the villagers get chairs.

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Chu Qianqiu was also reluctant to let the villagers block the entrance of the village, looking for a shady place under a banyan tree, and sat down in a circle, while Wang Yuan followed Chu Qianqiu without saying a word, acting as a competent guard.

"This old man is long-lived, can you tell the boy about farming." Chu Qianqiu politely helped the old man to sit down, and then asked.

The white-haired old man waved his hand again and again:

"The Great Master of the Blue Sky has tormented the old decay, and the old decay has only cultivated a little spitting exercises, but he has lived a hundred and one years old."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a person as an elder in this Woniu Village, but the kid was rude."

When a person lives to be 100 years old, he is called Renrui, which is one of the standards of the prosperous era, and local officials will also register and reward to ensure the retirement environment.

If it weren't for the prosperous age, how could there be such a long-lived old man.

"I can't afford to be a human being, but I just lived a few more years." The white-haired old man shook his head and continued

"Lord Qingtian, originally this Woniu Village was the land of the Wang family, with a production capacity of 6 stones (720 catties) per mu, and paid 20 percent of the emperor's grain (150 catties) and 30 percent of the rent (210 catties), and the rest was left to deal with fire consumption, errands, and apportionment in the yamen, and the days were still passable."

"But now the Wang family's field has become the Chu family's field."

"Old Man Chu is a kind-hearted man, and he has reduced his rent by half." The white-haired old man secretly glanced at Chu Qianqiu, praised the Chu family a few more words, and then dared to continue:

"But Master Wang's family doesn't send people to use the "Abundance Order", and even the iron tools used to work at home must be taken back."

"The old farmers in the village have a total of only 4.5 stones (540 catties) per mu this year, but the imperial grain is a quota, no matter how much the mu yields, you must pay 150 catties of grain, if the rent is also calculated according to 6 stones, and then pay 180 catties, then you will not be able to live."

Although the white-haired old man had lived for more than a hundred years, his thinking was still very clear, and he counted the bill for Chu Qianqiu with his fingers.

Chu Qianqiu asked Wang Baichuan to reduce the rent, and he did reduce it by half (30 catties).

However, due to the fact that the Wang family did not send the help of the Abundance Order, as well as the recovery of iron tools, the farmers had a hunch that the grain output would drop by about 3 percent, which was much less than the grain left over from the Wang family's work.

If according to the practice of the Wang family, the peasant household can leave 360 catties of grain per acre of land, and if it is replaced by the Chu family, it will suddenly become 210 catties of grain, which is a full difference of 150 catties, which is equivalent to paying the imperial grain one more time.

The farmers in Woniu Village were suddenly overwhelmed and wanted to ask Wang Baichuan for an explanation.

Because the Wang family is not the kind of landlord who purely collects rent, in a sense, it still belongs to the landlord with a technical level.

While collecting rent, the family also provided agricultural tools, water conservancy, and the support of the "Fertility Order", so that the farmers in various places were willing to become tenant farmers of his family, and the means were quite clever.

The matter between the fields of the Shenwu Dynasty was even more complicated than he expected at the beginning.

For a while, Chu Qianqiu couldn't help them give an answer, after all, he didn't have a technical team cultivated by the Wang family.

As for continuing to loot these people's fat and people's ointment, it is too bad for reputation, and for the time being, the Chu family is not short of this money, so Chu Qianqiu said:

"The elder is reasonable, then this year's rent will be free."

"Ah, young master, no." Wang Baichuan was anxious.

These Diao people have to make inches of progress, and if they dare to ask for rent exemption today, they will not go to heaven tomorrow.

The young master has a good heart, and he must not encourage such an unhealthy trend.

"Lord Qingtian!" The farmers are about to kneel again.

"Get up."

"The rent is exempted this year because the Chu family is going to get married, and the grain output can't fall, how to increase it or how to increase it."

"Baichuan, you can talk to Wang Liang too."

"Yes, young master." Wang Baichuan had a bitter face, but when he thought that the young master didn't seem to plan to hold him responsible, his mood was a little better.

"Then it's settled." As soon as Chu Qianqiu wanted to get up, he saw a team from outside the village, and the leader was actually his fiancée Huang Xiaoxiao.

"Eh, Brother Qianqiu, didn't you go to see the house? Why are you here?"

"I brought the Wang family's farmer over and asked them to cast the Fertility Order on the fields in the village!"

The girl smiled very happily, she has rarely had a chance to walk in front of Ailang recently.
