Xie Rongzhao is not worried at all, he has been a young lady for so many years, and the angle of thinking about the problem is naturally different.

"Don't worry, they won't dare to make trouble. Eighty percent of the villagers in this village are tenants of our fields, if you dare to make me unhappy, then you still want to plant our fields? ”

Of course, the more than 1,000 acres of grange cannot all be taken care of by the people in the village.

Moreover, Xie Xiuwen himself is also from a peasant family, so he is naturally willing to take care of some ordinary people within his ability.

Because they don't have to pay taxes, and their family has a lot of land, Xie Xiuwen has always set the rent at 40%, and if there is a disaster year, he will receive 10% less.

Many big landlords have taken out the land, and they all collect 50% of the rent, and some of them are even more ruthless, that is, they directly collect 60% of the rent, but the croppers can't bear it.

Some of the villagers here have their own acres of land, but how can they feed their families?

Therefore, it is natural to have to farm the land.

The Xie family's grange is kind, and only 40% of the rent is collected every year, because it is all good land, so an acre of land can have a harvest of two or three taels of silver this year, but the main family only needs 40%, then they can get 60%, at least let the family have enough to eat.

Some people have a lot of men, and they directly tenant 30 acres of fertile land in Zhuangzi, and in a year, in addition to food and clothing, the tenant farmers can also have a few taels of silver left over for the New Year, which is a good day.

Xie Rongzhao built Xiuzhuang here because he knew that even if she proposed some stricter rules, these people would not dare to make trouble.

I really offended her, those fields are not rented to you, what can you do?

Not to mention that there is such a thing as a lease deed, that thing is also for the common people, and for the official households, that thing is useless.

Sure enough, not long after, the female shopkeeper came back with a smile.

"Let's talk about it, how many people are there in our embroidery village now, how many are good and average?"

"Yes, our embroidery village has recruited seventeen more today, seven are from this village, and ten are from other villages, which are not far away. In addition, there are a total of forty-two embroiderers, among which they can be called good craftsmen, that is, twelve, and the rest of the craftsmanship is average, but it is no problem to make some ordinary clothes. ”

Xie Rongzhao nodded: "I just received the list from the Hou Mansion, and there are five hundred pro-soldiers around the Hou Ye, and in the future, the clothes of these five hundred pro-soldiers will also be made by us all year round." This is not a picky craft, but can do needlework. However, the wage will naturally be lower, and this should be explained to the female workers. ”

"Yes, don't worry, miss, the slaves and maids understand."

"This man is still a little short of his hands, but fortunately the city can share some of it. Let's try to make 200 winter clothes by the end of the month. I've got people to get a rough size, and we're only responsible for making the large and medium sizes here. ”

Xie Rongzhao handed over the note with the size written on it: "Although I don't pick the craftsmanship, I can't do it too coldly, I can't show the thread where I shouldn't show it, these people wear it on the body, that is the face of the prestige of the Hou Mansion, and you can't be careless." ”

"Yes, don't worry, the little one must be keeping an eye on it."

Xie Rongzhao ate a meal here at noon, and he didn't let anyone do it alone, so he ate the same as the embroidery girls here.

The food at noon is all vegetarian dishes, but there is a lot of oil and water, and it is a steamed bun with two noodles.

It must be too late to steam the white flour steamed buns, so the female shopkeeper asked her to make a big pot of white rice for the young lady alone.

Xie Rongzhao came with Yahuan Mama and the nursing home, so naturally they all had to eat white rice.

Xie Rongzhao felt that the chef's skills here were not bad, and it was also very good that this vegetarian dish could be made like this.

A dish of fried winter melon and a dish of roasted tofu, because there was no meat in the kitchen, the cook's brain turned quickly, so she still made a scrambled egg with green onions, and made a dish of fungus roasted mushrooms.

Xie Rongzhao was not in a hurry to go back, the main house was also cleaned up, Xie Rongzhao was still a child, so naturally he couldn't live in the main courtyard, but chose a courtyard between the east spans to live.

"Miss, Madame has confessed, we can only stay here for one night, and we have to rush back tomorrow. said that several sons would come back. ”

Xie Rongzhao naturally knew this, and hoped that they would all go home to live, so that the family would be lively and popular.

"I know they're coming back to live, as if Daddy wants them to listen to a great Confucian lecture, but I don't read, and I don't remember names. In short, it is good for them. ”

"Miss, then when we go back tomorrow, do we still have to bring gifts to a few sons?"

Xie Rongzhao likes to buy some gadgets outside, sometimes he uses them for fun, and sometimes he gives them out as gifts.

She is a half-old child, and she doesn't always want to give some gold and silver things to her friends, not to mention cheesy, and it is easy to cause disputes.

"Well, when we go back to the city tomorrow, let's go shopping on the street first, I remember that the fourth brother likes to eat sugar gourds, and I don't know if there will be any sales at this time?"

"It's not very cold yet, I'm afraid that there is no sugar gourd, but there should be a sugar snowball."

"Then buy Sugar Snowball."

No matter how good Xie Rongen eats outside, his childhood taste will never change.

"Miss, the slave has brought the account book, do you want to read it now?"

Chen Xia took the account book sent by the female shopkeeper outside and sent the person away.

Xie Rongzhao looked at the account book for almost two quarters of an hour, and then sent someone to call the female shopkeeper in.

"What do you command?"

"In these two days, cotton and cotton cloth will be delivered, and there will also be some poor fine arrowroot cloth, first complete the ration of these two hundred winter clothes, and then make some children's winter clothes and quilts."

The female shopkeeper immediately understood: "Miss is going to be sent to Shantang?" ”

"Well, just make ten sets for the body of an ordinary five-year-old child, ten sets for an eight-year-old child, and a few quilts. In addition, I asked people to dismantle some old cotton clothes, and you also arranged for people to make cotton shoes, and you look at the size. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid understand, if there is anything unclear, the slave and maid should go to the good hall and measure it."

Sure enough, the subordinates who can do things are worry-free.

After Xie Rongzhao had dinner, he was always a little uneasy.

It feels like something is going to happen.

"Mama, I'm uncomfortable in my heart, and I always feel like something is going to happen."

Wang Zizhen has already helped her lay out the futon and has been with Miss for many years, she knows that Miss has strange good luck.

"The slave and maid went and commanded, so that the people should cheer up and keep vigil well."

Rao is like this, Xie Rongzhao is still not at ease.

"Mama, you go and call Uncle Li Si outside, and ask him to take someone to inspect the outside of our house."

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Xie Rongzhao couldn't sit still, so he simply went to the front hall to sit, always feeling that something big was going to happen.

Sure enough, she sat down not long before there was a commotion outside.
