Chapter 39 [Get Up, Don't Kneel]

"Okay, thank you for your understanding."

"If there is a land sale in the Yaxing in the future, you must notify the son as soon as possible."

"Shall we go and see the fields?"

When Shi Shanbao heard Lin Ze say his confession, he immediately smiled and was full of motivation for work.

This is the promise of a first-class master, and if he encounters something in the future, it can be regarded as a guarantee and hole card.

"Let's go, then."

Lin Ze said that, and got up directly and set off.

Of the more than 300 acres of land, about 70 acres exist outside Fengping County, and the remaining 200 acres are in the countryside some distance from Fengping County.

If you want to finish reading these lands before dark today, you still need to speed up your progress.

-----------------

When Lin Ze went out this time, he took not a donkey cart, but a carriage he had just bought.

Not long ago, when Lin Ze was practicing in the morning, he had just arrived, and he had eighty taels of silver with a horse and a car.

Among them, the horses belonged to the best horses, fifty taels and one horses, and the rook was thirty taels.

As for the carriage of the pawnshop that brought back the gold and silver yesterday, it had already been sent back to the pawnshop by the servants yesterday evening.

The speed of this carriage was much faster than that of a donkey cart, and a powerful servant who could drive acted as a coachman, leading Lin Ze to follow Shi Shanbao's carriage and head towards the destination.

In addition, there were six servants trotting next to the carriage, which seemed to be quite impressive.

The group set off from the North City Gate, left Fengping County, and soon came to a large flat paddy field along the official road.

It's July, and it's harvest time.

Shi Shanbao pointed to a piece of golden rice in the field, as well as the farmers who were busy in the field, and said to Lin Ze with a smile: "Lin Gongzi, this field is all on the field, and the yield per mu is close to four hundred catties, they have already paid the rent of the field in advance, and the grain harvested at this moment is all their own." ”

"The previous landlord and these tenants have already agreed that the previous lease contract will expire after planting the land this year."

"After you buy these fields, you can continue to use them as tenants, or you can find new tenants yourself."

Lin Ze's purpose in buying land is mainly to prepare for the future to win over the hearts of his servants and let them become henchmen who support him wholeheartedly.

However, he did not directly say that he was going to find tenants again, but asked more: "What are the conditions in the homes of these tenants?" ”

Farmland is the life of many people in this era, and although Lin Ze has his own ideas and goals, he does not want these farmers to starve to death because he has no land to plant because he bought his own land.

"They are rich peasants with large families, and renting these lands can make their families richer, but if they don't plant, they won't starve to death."

"But in the countryside below, there are many tenants who live on the fields they rent."

Shi Shanbao understood the hidden meaning in Lin Ze's words and reminded.

Of course, he just reminded that what Lin Ze did was his business, and it had nothing to do with him, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop.

As an old businessman, although Shi Shanbao has been adhering to the concept of being kind to people and being honest in doing things, he also has the principle of not meddling in things.

Just help if you do it, if you need to pay the price yourself, then it's not necessary.

He didn't want to offend Lin Ze, a young first-class master, because of some tenants who had nothing to do with him.

"Buy these lands on the outskirts of the city first."

Lin Ze didn't say much about the tenants, but first determined the purchase of land on the outskirts of the city.

"Okay."

Shi Shanbao agreed with a smile.

Then he took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and signed a letter of intent with Lin Ze to purchase these fields on the outskirts of the city.

The seventy acres of land on the outskirts of the city are all on the field, and the price of one mu is fifty taels, which is a total of three thousand five hundred taels of silver.

Of course, the money to buy the land is not given now, and it will only be paid to officially complete the transaction after Shi Shanbao will help register with the county government and help Lin Ze complete the registration of the field contract.

Isn't there something wrong with a normal person who has nothing to do with a few tens of thousands of taels of silver on his body, and hundreds or thousands of catties of metal with him.

After Lin Ze signed and drew the charge, the group set off again and headed towards the countryside.

After a long journey, we came to a village about forty miles away.

The output here is a bit more barren than in the village of Two Rivers.

In addition to the farmland around the village, mulberry trees are also planted, and there are small patches of miscellaneous trees as a source of firewood.

"Lin Gongzi, the remaining more than 200 acres of land are all near this village."

"There were no people in this village 100 years ago, but later the dynasty decided to distribute the land, and many displaced people were assigned to farm and multiply near this village, so there is also this village."

Shi Shanbao took Lin Ze to walk around the village and showed Lin Ze the patches of land he was about to buy.

After reading it, it was not early, and it was afternoon.

I found a flat stone platform and spread out the cloth, took out the food box I brought when I went out in the morning, and took out pastries and tea from it for lunch temporarily.

"Lin Gongzi, the land has been read, these lands in the countryside have a total of 247 acres, including 50 acres in the upper field, 120 acres in the middle field, and 77 acres in the lower field."

"What land do you want?"

After eating and drinking, I got down to business again when I rested.

"I want them all."

Lin Zegang wanted to say this.

I saw a few old men in ragged clothes, with thirty or forty men and women, large and small, coming to a place not far from the group.

These people seemed to stop more than a foot away, and they all knelt down without saying a word.

"I've seen a nobleman."

Without saying a word, he kowtowed twice, and the old man led by him spoke.

"Why is the elder like this?"

These old men knelt on the ground and kowtowed too fast, and Lin Ze even just made the action of getting up and supporting, and the other party knelt down.

This is clearly a request for people.

After turning sideways to avoid this salute, Lin Ze opened his mouth to ask the other party's intention.

He is not morally kidnapped.

It doesn't matter if you do a little favor, if you say something embarrassing, then don't talk about it.

"The owner said that he wanted to sell the land before, and the nobles must have come here to buy these lands, the little old Jiao Da's family, and He Caigen's family, and Sang Hong's family all rely on these lands to make a living, and please don't change tenants after you buy the land."

"The three of us will definitely pay the tenant rent on time and in full."

This Jiao Da thought that he had read some books, and he spoke clearly, far better than ordinary villagers who had little knowledge.

After that, Jiao Da wanted to kowtow again.

It turned out to be a reasonable request from a hard-working employee asking the boss not to lay off employees, and Lin Ze's brows suddenly stretched a lot.

If they really can only live by renting these lands, Lin Ze is not a person who harms people's lives for no reason.

"Get up, don't kneel."

Lin Ze scolded.
