Hearing Lin Ze's scolding, the group of people who were about to knock another one suddenly stood up honestly.

They kowtow to show their obedience, hoping that the nobles would promise them to continue as tenants, which is a matter of life and death.

At present, since the nobles do not like them to kneel, then they naturally have to obey and do so.

"Is what they say true?"

Lin Ze asked Shi Shanbao on the side.

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop has a very clear understanding of the tenants of the land and who the landlord is, and Lin Ze directly confirmed the truth of the villagers' words from him.

Shi Shanbao nodded and said: "Yes, the land you bought, Son, these three families are tenants on weekdays, they don't have their own land, and they all rely on being tenant farmers to help people work for a living." ”

Shi Shanbao couldn't figure out what Lin Ze was thinking at the moment, so he didn't tell the truth with the slightest emotion.

Hearing this, Lin Ze also calculated in his heart.

The annual grain output of the more than 200 mu of land he is about to buy is about 71,400 catties, which fluctuates in this range according to different years.

As a tenant, he needs to pay half of the harvest as tenant rent, which means that he can have 36,000 catties of grain left.

After deducting more than 20 catties of grain per mu, about 30,000 catties of grain can be used, and these three families have 42 people, which means that each person can get more than 700 catties of grain on average.

Seven hundred catties of grain seems like a lot, but in this ancient era with less sugar and less oil, doing heavy physical work every day, relying on staple foods to provide energy to the body, it is easy for an adult to dry up two or three catties of grain a day.

If you want to be full in a year, a person needs at least 1,000 catties of food.

Because the family is big and small, this person's food per capita of 700 catties may be barely enough.

Considering that these people still need money to buy daily necessities, pay population taxes, and occasionally have to go to forced labor, and don't get sick.

At the end of the year, not only will there be no money left, but you may have to tighten your belt to live.

In this case, if Lin Ze didn't rent the land to them, maybe their whole family would starve to death within a year.

"In this comparison, the villagers of Qinghe Township still have money to buy sugar, and this standard of living is much higher than that of the people in this village now."

"The dynasty is prosperous, as long as there is no large-scale starvation, it will indeed be a prosperous age."

"But if I don't change tenants, then won't I buy this land for nothing? How to carry out the plan to buy henchmen, think of a way..."

Lin Ze muttered in his heart.

While his brain was running rapidly, Lin Ze began to talk to these villagers in front of him to stabilize them.

"Don't worry, my son is not unreasonable, even if he buys land, it won't make your life unsettled."

Hearing Lin Ze say this, these tenants were suddenly overjoyed, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to thank them.

However, seeing Lin Ze's cold face, these tenants hurriedly stopped kneeling, and instead bent down and began to thank them in their mouths.

"There it is!"

After thinking for a while, Lin Ze had an idea in his mind.

A very important factor in buying henchmen is to let the family eat under their own hands, and it is difficult to live without them or the quality of life will be greatly reduced.

The interests of both sides are the same, and Lin Zehao and his servants are also good, so as to ensure enough loyalty.

Starting from this factor, the method of buying land and letting the family members of the servants at home be tenants for themselves was derived.

There is nothing wrong with this idea, in the agrarian society of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many families and nobles started out, and even now it is still in its heyday.

But Lin Ze has the Gate of Heaven, and his method of arranging work is not limited to the current agrarian society, but can also find ways from the industrial society with developed productive forces in the main world.

"In the early stage of the development of the feudal dynasty in an agrarian society, because of the continuous wars, the population fell sharply, so that the number of people and the amount of land reached a balance, and the number of people starved to death decreased."

"In the middle of the development of the feudal dynasty, the population gradually increased, and the price of land as a survival resource increased year by year.

"In the later stage of the development of the feudal dynasty, the population exploded, and many people could not have enough to eat, so the social order collapsed, the land was devalued, wars occurred, the population was reduced, and the new dynasty was established into a new round of dynastic reincarnation."

"The solution to this problem in an industrial society is to increase food production, and then to develop services and industries to accommodate the surplus population."

"In other words, I don't have to look beyond the fields to figure out how to find a solution."

Lin Ze recalled some knowledge of the laws of historical cycles that he had learned many years ago, and came up with a solution.

"I want to get a job, but I can't buy land, so I can build a factory to produce products and provide jobs."

"If all the servants in the family work in my factory and have a stable and decent job, it can also have the effect of winning people's hearts."

"And the factory can not only accommodate the family members of the servants at home, but also the surplus population of the entire Fengping County and even the surrounding areas can absorb it.

"If there are hundreds or thousands of henchmen who can be mobilized, then my trading business between the two realms can naturally snowball."

Thinking about this, Lin Ze's mood stabilized.

"Let's go, buy these lands first, and the tenants will remain unchanged for the time being."

Lin Ze didn't have the extra energy to continue to fight with these tenants, so he left this sentence and took the carriage directly to prepare to leave.

"Thank you, thank you."

In a voice of thanks, Lin Ze got into the carriage and returned to the city with Shi Shanbao.

"But what kind of factory should I build?"

On the way back to the city, Lin Ze fell into deep thought again.

The technology of the Overworld is a dimensionality reduction blow to this agrarian society, and it stands to reason that anything you do can be a big deal.

But Lin Ze needs to follow the following principles.

The first is that the government can't let the government feel that they have gathered so many people, and if they have any bad ideas, if they are directly hit, then Lin Ze's idea of gathering his henchmen will be in vain.

The second is that there are not too many technologies that are beyond this world, and as soon as you take it out, it will make people feel that this is something that is ahead of the times, which is also not okay.

Lin Ze's current strength is in its infancy, and he doesn't want to be too eye-catching.

The third is that the profit created by this technology should not be too much, otherwise if the income is too large, so big that any passer-by can find out that he is picking up money with a sack, then he will not be able to protect his identity as a first-class master and collusion with officials and businessmen in the county.
