A picnic is fun if you do it yourself, and if you leave everything to someone else, it's better to stay at home!

Daiyu rested for a while before she came to her side, and while handing her the fruit, she asked, "Sister, since you want to reduce the rent for those farmers and villagers, why don't you reduce the rent more?"

In this way, won't they be more grateful to our Lin family in their hearts? ”

Jiusi put all the fruits in the basket into the plate, and then pricked a piece of flesh with a skewer and stuffed it into Daiyu's mouth: "You must know that people's hearts are insufficient and greedy, when there is no one, you will feel very satisfied if you have a little, but if you have more, you will want more."

Just as I reduced the rent for them, I reduced the rent by 10% for the farmers and 20% for the villagers, and they will be surprised and grateful.

When I give them a tenth of rent on this basis, they will think that I am a great good person, and that I am simply a good person compared to other masters.

But if I reduce the rent for them by only one or two percent, although they will still think that I am a good person, they will also regard me as a weak person who is easy to bully, and even call me a big fool behind my back, do you believe it?

If one day there is a disaster in the Zhuangzi, and the rent is raised to 60% again, they will be resentful, thinking that I am hypocritical, and what I have done before is just a show, and there will be no gratitude at all, this is the human heart. ”

Daiyu nodded as if she didn't understand, and then asked, "Then why do you want to raise poultry with the villagers and adopt the poultry they raise?"

We don't lack food and drink every day, I don't like to eat meat, sister, you still have to keep filial piety, you don't need so many poultry at all! ”

Jiusi took the skewers from the maids and put them on the grill, and while staring at the skewers, he explained to her: "Those subordinates and the dealers signed a contract with us, why are they willing to put down their bodies to sell themselves, in order to live a lower life than others?"

Of course not, they are in order to be able to live better, even in the famine years, our family can afford them to eat and drink.

If they are like villagers who have not signed a deed, with only 50% of their income but no freedom, they will be dissatisfied after a long time, so I added a rule that they can raise poultry so that they can get more benefits. ”

Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand and nodded hers, and said: "Besides, who said that the poultry you buy must be eaten by yourself, our family also has a food shop, and when the time comes, the collected poultry will be sold in the shop, regardless of whether it is made into soup, other dishes, or marinated to eat."

You were very happy to eat the braised vegetables they made in March, and I was afraid that the poultry they would harvest would not be enough for you to eat. ”

Daiyu glared at her with disgust, and the freshly squeezed juice that was originally going to be handed to her mouth also turned into a slap in her hand: "My sister is used to making fun of me, hum!"

Although what my sister said has some truth, but in this way, won't those villagers also be dissatisfied? ”

Jiu Sicai didn't care how the juice got into his hands, took a sip of the juice, and after a long breath of satisfaction, he shook his head with a smile and said: "How can there be any fairness in this world, everything that the farmers have, it is all in exchange for their sacrifice of dignity and freedom, if those villagers are dissatisfied, they can also learn from them to sell themselves, I will definitely not refuse."

But...... I'm afraid that when the day comes, they will definitely be willing, how can it be important to sell their bodies to change the future of their children, who will be willing to sell themselves as slaves until the last resort, but they are just helpless to live.

Okay, you don't care about that, let's go fly your kite, I'll call you when the skewers are baked in a while. ”

"Alright then, hard sister!"

"August, quick, take the paper kite that my sister drew for me, let's go put the paper kite ......"

"Oh, the slave is here."

Daiyu doesn't like to pay attention to these mundane things, and managing family affairs is also what Jiusi forced her to learn, otherwise she wouldn't be too lazy to care about those, her favorite is poetry and books.

The reason why I asked so many questions just now was just a little curious.

As soon as she heard that she could play, she called August and ran to the open space on the other side.

Looking at her carefree smiling face, Jiusi shook his head helplessly, and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

How can a pampered child understand how difficult it is to live for the low?

In their eyes, not being able to get a gadget they like, or being reprimanded by the elders in the family, is already a great grievance, and how do you know that some people have tried all their strength in order to survive.

No matter what era it is, there is such a group of little people who are trying to survive, but those who stand on a high place can't see it.

And in this feudal era, their subordinates live more humblely and lowly, just like those poultry, as long as the master's words say, if they want to live, they will live, if they want to die, they will die, it is simply a live commodity that can be traded, how can there be any dignity at all!

This time they met her, if they were to change to another buyer, let alone the day when there was a redemption or let the child study, even if they died, they didn't know how to die.

You must know that some masters will find an excuse to sell them on the first day they come, and some stewards will even be beaten to death, this is the reality.

Her ability is limited, she can't change this social phenomenon, only the people around her can change, and all she can do is protect the people she wants to protect.

If she is lucky, she may be able to cultivate Daiyu into a famous female family and make her one of the representatives of inspirational women, which will be her greatest achievement in this era.

But in the end, it depends on Daiyu's choice, if she chooses to marry and live an ordinary life, then she wants to pave the way ahead of her and protect her through this life.

Life is a choice again and again, how to choose, it all depends on their own minds, no one can force it.

The breeze blew slowly, and there was a laugh like a silver bell of Daiyu, Jiusi subconsciously looked up, and saw a beautiful girl pulling a colored paper kite, under the light of the sun, exuding a dazzling light.

Jiusi handed the skewers in his hand to March, washed his hands, took out the white paper and charcoal pen prepared in advance, and lowered his head to brush and quickly draw.

After a while, this autumn scenery was frozen.

April glanced at it curiously, and saw that the picture on the painting was the scene of Daiyu putting paper kites, and not far from her, they were busy, looking very warm and harmonious.

She looked at it, and suddenly said: "The girl's painting skills are really good, although this painting is only one color, but the painting is just like the real one, why don't the girl draw two more pictures, and when I send a letter to Yangzhou, I will send it to the master to see, I think the old man will be very happy." ”
