Feng Shijiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "The price of vegetables is indeed cheaper than the price of grain, but are you sure that my lotus root is also so cheap?" ”

There was a buzz in the crowd.

At this time, the sun was already hanging high, the temperature was gradually rising, and the gate of the Mu family was facing the east, and Feng Shijiu was standing at the door, which was equivalent to facing the sun, and he felt a little hot after a while.

Forcibly resisted the urge to make a fan with his hands, because of the scorching heat, Feng Shijiu's expression became more and more cold and hard: "You know, my lotus root can not only be sold in the market, but also sold in restaurants, and it will definitely not be a loss if it is sold in large quantities." ”

"My lotus roots, even if they can't be sold for a hundred taels of silver, fifty taels can always be available, which of you can sell so much grain?"

So some grain, the quality is still poor, and it can be sold for ten taels is the sky.

The crowd couldn't help but buzz again, a little unconvinced.

The village chief pouted secretly, although the lotus root is not as bad as a farmhouse dish, it is not so rare, and it is a hundred taels of silver, which is purely a dream.

But he didn't say anything, just sold miserably with a sad face: "After all, our grain hasn't grown yet, and the villagers mean that if it grows well in a few days, then this year will be a bumper harvest." ”

Feng Nineteen looked at him coldly.

What is the harvest, is there a harvest of rice stalks?

Facing her gaze, the village chief did not blush at all: "This day, who can tell clearly, in case ......"

"Why don't you wait?" Feng Jiu lifted his eyelids and didn't answer his words.

The village chief paused.

They wouldn't dare wait any longer.

"The owner is a scholar, more far-sighted than us, since the owner has decided to grab it, then we will naturally obey ......" The village chief didn't dare to respond, what if he waited any longer, what if he lost more?

Feng Jiu once again resisted the urge to fan with his hands: "You also said that they are all scholars, and scholars don't go to the ground, how can you know how to farm, if you are unwilling in your hearts, I think it is better to rely on your ideas." ”

He looked at him and said, "So you mean, wait?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, he said: "It's okay, you are willing, we will not stop it, and as for the gambling game, it will be postponed and ended." ”

The village chief was suddenly anxious, they didn't want to postpone it!

The village chief stretched out his hand several times, if it weren't for Feng Shijiu being a woman, he would definitely come over and catch someone.

But Feng Nineteen is not only a woman, but her tone is also very tight, and she does not miss any benefits......

Gritting her teeth, seeing that she was really tough, she suddenly felt resentful in her heart, everyone is a fellow villager, so what's wrong with letting you go?

looked behind her and said, "At this point, the master of the owner should also wake up, Feng girl, you go and talk to the master of the owner, we want to talk to him." ”

The owner has always been kind and easy to speak, and he will definitely not be as tough as Feng Nineteen.

There is something to do, there is nothing to do, the phoenix girl, it is really realistic enough.

Secretly in his heart, Feng Shijiu said coldly: "Don't think about it, the old man said, I am now the daughter-in-law of the shepherd's family, and the affairs of the herdsman family are up to me." ”

smiled at the village chief and said, "Naturally, my business is also up to me." ”

Everyone: "!! ”

Seeing that everyone was about to be angry, Feng Shijiu immediately raised his hand and signaled everyone to silence: "I am not a ruthless person, and I have personally gone to the ground, so I naturally know your difficulties, but this year it is not only difficult for you, but also difficult for us." ”

Seeing that they were not convinced, they asked: "You are renting my family's land, and the rent is only so little, even if there is not much harvest, and now that the grain harvest is poor, you are sad, will we be better?" ”

Everyone felt reasonable, after all, there were really not many crops in the field this year......

Feng 19: "What's more, you are just tenants, only in charge of farming, we still have to pay taxes from the imperial court, do you think you can pay taxes with that little rent?" ”

The crowd fell silent.

Although they don't know how much the tax is, they have a gut feeling that the owner won't be able to make money this year.

Seeing that they were honest, Feng Shijiu was a little satisfied, and his tone was slightly soft: "We all have difficulties, we should be considerate of each other, so let's give you two choices, first, you grab the harvest now, no matter how much grain you collect, our gamble will be considered a draw, and second, you delay the harvesting of rice, how much rice you have collected, we will judge who wins and loses the gambling game according to the ordinary market price, what do you think?" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, silently digesting her words.

The village chief knew a few words, and the first thing he reacted was: "We are tenants, so naturally we have to listen to the owner." ”

Mu Weiyang couldn't help pouting when he heard it, what is obedient, it's not that he doesn't want to lose the gamble.

He started with him, and the people who followed him followed one after another, all choosing the first one.

The words were settled, but the crowd did not leave for a while.

Feng Nineteen didn't move, nor did he speak, just looked at the village chief quietly.

Everyone also looked at the village chief, waiting for him to speak.

The village chief scolded in his heart, but he couldn't help sighing, and before he could speak, tears fell first: "The owner also knows that God wants to punish us this year, and the grain harvest is poor...... I'm afraid it's not going to be good! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel sad, and many people had red eyes.

"My family is difficult, there are fewer places and more people, I calculated, even from today onwards, I will start to eat thin, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter......"

"I don't know what's going on with my rice, I haven't hung ears, I look at it, but I touch it, it's empty, and there is no ......."

"Ask the owner to be gracious ......"

Everyone began to kneel down and cried, "Ask the owner for mercy!" ”

Where had Mu Weiyang seen such a scene, his eyes immediately widened, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he was aroused by emotion.

Seeing that Feng Nineteen was still the cold and hard look that the eight winds did not move, he couldn't help but pull her sleeves.

In fact, they have a lot of land, even if they don't collect these rents, they won't lose much......

Feng Jiu pulled his sleeve back, didn't pay attention to her, just stepped forward to help the village chief up: "Get up and speak." ”

The village chief can't afford it.

Feng 19: "If you can't afford it, I won't charge a cent less for this year's rent." ”

The village chief's body stiffened, and he immediately stood up, too fast, and some of his reactions were not effective, and he almost fell, but fortunately, Feng Nineteen's hands were fast, and he grabbed the person and put the person right like a pier.

Village Chief: "......"

Feng 19: "You are the village head, I will tell you this, this year's year is not good, and everyone is from the township, according to the situation, I should give you less rent." ”

The village chief nodded repeatedly.

Feng 19: "Everyone is a villager, I naturally can't see you starve to death, this year's rent should indeed be reduced, but how much reduction or exemption still depends on the actual harvest." ”

"Well, I promise you, if your harvest is really not good, I will make the decision, and I will waive 20% of your rent this year, how about it?"

The village chief was about to nod, but suddenly hesitated.

Isn't it too little?

There were big drops of sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or hot, so the village chief wiped it indiscriminately, and turned back to the anxious faces of the villagers.
