Chapter 13 Zong Ze fulfills his promise

After receiving her promise, the farmers cheered again.

"From now on, your annual tenant rent will only be twice in summer and autumn, a total of four stones! At least for the rest of my time. Of course, you don't have to worry about the yield of wheat, although I can't make the yield of wheat reach eight stones, but six stones is fine. ”

Her promise once again ignited the high mood of the farmers, and it was only four stone a year, which meant that they would have ten stone of grain for each acre of land at their disposal.

The food and clothing of the whole family is enough!

Seeing that corn and wheat can have such high yields, the farmers who were sneering before regretted it, if they had also taken the risk of planting corn, they must have been in the cheering crowd, but unfortunately if it was only hypothetical.

The old farmer, who didn't believe in the yield of corn per acre, regretted it to the extreme, and this result slapped him in the face, thinking of this, he squeezed into the crowd with a shy old face.

"Little lady, this corn yield is really high, I want to plant corn next year, beg the little lady to give some seeds."

When the others saw that the old farmer had accepted the planting, they also rushed in and demanded to plant corn.

These people are the same people who sneered at the beginning that corn can only be used for stir-frying, and the yield is not high.

Zhao Yingluo is not a virgin, she glanced at these farmers, mourned their misfortune, and was angry, "Of course you can plant!" I will give you the seeds. ”

The peasants probably didn't expect her to agree so happily, and they were stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered.

As long as they have a high yield of corn and wheat seeds, they will be like those farmers in the coming year, without worrying about food and clothing.

They were happy, but the farmers who took the risk to plant corn felt a little uncomfortable, but the next moment they realized that the owner was not partial.

"But!" Zhao Yingluo raised her voice and suppressed all their laughter.

"Your tenant rent is different from theirs, and you need to pay six stone per acre! For three years in a row! As for whether it will increase or decrease after three years, it will depend on whether your performance makes me satisfied or dissatisfied. ”

"This ...... It's not fair. "The farmers, who were still elated, suddenly fell to the bottom like a roller coaster.

Six stones per mu is equivalent to two more stones than those farmers!

They weren't happy, but the farmers who took the risk to grow corn were much more relieved, yes! That's how it should be, who made you not believe in the master's family in the first place.

Zong Ze was originally worried about how to deal with this matter for Zhao Yingluo, but now seeing her come up with this strategy, he stroked her gray beard and nodded with satisfaction, this girl has more ideas in her heart than herself!

Zhao Yingluo sneered and said, "It's not fair, what were you doing when they decided to plant corn?" You're questioning me. What were you doing while they were working in the fields with me? You're sneering. What are you doing when the corn is harvested? You're on the sidelines! With all your actions, you still want to be treated the same as them? ”

Her words made some of them find out in their conscience, and they silently lowered their heads.

"That won't make us pay two more stones."

"That's it! We have worked hard for a whole year, why should we pay two more stones? ”

"If you want to pay more, you can only pay one more stone."

"You can have food to eat while you sit, so can't you ask us less for rent?"

"One acre of land is four stones, and this thousand acres of land is four thousand stones, and a year's grain is enough for the government to eat for a lifetime."

……

Among them, a few were unwilling to kidnap Zhao Yingluo morally, and when they opened their mouths, they immediately instigated some people to follow suit.

Zhao Yingluo is not used to them, she wants to take advantage of them if she is cheap, and she hides far away if she is not cheap, there is such a thing in the world?

"Excellent! If you think that you will suffer a loss, then don't worry about these seeds, at most you will only need to pay two stones of grain a year as before, and two stones of grain is indeed less than six stones, isn't it? ”

These farmers never imagined that moral kidnapping would not have any effect!

It is true that two stones of grain is less than six stones, but they only have one stone a year, and those farmers have a net loss of ten stones a year.

Which end is light and which is heavy, the little abacus in their hearts is very clear, but they are not reconciled to admit it.

Just when things were deadlocked, Zong Ze coughed twice and stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the old man's words, what happened, the old man has a general understanding, according to the old man, in the end, it is still yours, she wants to charge you two more stones of grain, is she greedy for those two stones of grain? It's a lesson for you. ”

"Old general, but there are two more stones in this plain, and I am unhappy."

"Uneven? She also said that after three years, she will see your performance, and if you perform well, this tenant rent will naturally be the same as them, and only four stones a year will be charged. What's more, which is the right one to leave seven or eight stones of grain a year or only one stone of grain left in a year? You need to think clearly. ”

In the end, Zong Ze, the peacemaker, flattened the grievances in their hearts, and those farmers had to swallow their anger and accept this unfair condition in their eyes.

After everything was settled, Zhao Yingluo left the dozens of bags of winter wheat seeds that Feng Jinghe had taken out in advance in the grange, and asked Feng Jing and Jiang Laosi to assist in distributing the winter wheat seeds.

He and Zong Ze and others returned to Kaifeng City.

On the way, Zhao Yingluo, who had just learned to ride a horse, clamped the horse's belly and rode with Zong Ze.

"Has the old general forgotten our bet?"

Zong Ze glanced at her and laughed, "How can the old man forget, if you want to lose the bet, which store do you like, just say it, the old man will definitely give it to you." ”

"Then I'll thank the old general! The shop I value is in ......"

……

After getting Zong Ze's promise, Zhao Yingluo began to think about the opening of the hot pot restaurant.

Now, in addition to the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the field, she has also selected a few acres of land to grow peppers, eggplants, pumpkins, beans and other crops, and even cultivated a batch of fungi in clay pots.

Now that the acres of vegetables and fruits I planted have reached the harvest season, I should take advantage of the situation to open a hot pot restaurant to make money.

The tableware and dining chairs needed to open a hot pot restaurant have been prepared, and even the cooks and shopkeepers have been recruited in advance and trained well.

Even the decoration style has been sketched.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Early the next morning, Zong Ze came to the Lu Mansion, and his sudden attack caused Zhao Yingluo to come to the front hall after hastily grooming up.

After some politeness, Zong Ze took out something from his sleeve, "This is the deed you want!" As long as you press the handprint, from now on, the shop will be yours. ”

Zhao Yingluo happily took it and took a look, only to see that the location, area and other information of the house were written on it......

The last sentence reads, "Given to Shen Wanshu free of charge, the word is based on ......"
