Chapter 144: The Fields and the Tenants

Whether you are happy or helpless, the pace of time will never stop. Shen Feng's first New Year in Flying Snow Town passed in exhaustion and joy.

The three-day program performance was a physical and mental test for Shen Fu, who had never had this kind of experience, no matter how old or young. Fortunately, this novel model made up for the flaws in it so that the show ended perfectly, which made everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all the venues have been cleared, everyone can relax and start to enjoy the warm atmosphere of their new home.

Just after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather warmed up. At noon, the sun began to warm up, and the weeds in the field had a subtle greenery.

"Looking at the weather, it is estimated that there will be no snow again this year, and this is the third year that there has not been snow. Crop failures still seem inevitable. Uncle Gen stood on a small road outside Feixue Town, frowning and looking at the scorching sun in the sky, and then at the somewhat wilted crops in the field, with a worried look on his face.

"Yes, if it weren't for the lack of food in the village, how could those bastards easily agree to help attack the Xiao family? Now even the bandits are short of food, let alone those farmers who rent the fields. So, we have to find a way to stock up on some food. Lei Yong reached out and wiped the beads of sweat on his fat face and spoke.

"Village Chief, what about the fields in our Xishui Village?" asked San Bao.

"What? do you have any ideas?" Shen Feng helped Chun Niang get off the carriage, and said with a smile when he saw Sanbao asking.

"I just think it's a pity to lose it like that, it's really not good, I can go back to all kinds when I have time. We've been short of food all these years, and it's always good to get a little more!" San Bao looked at Shen Feng and said.

Shen Feng and Uncle Gen glanced at each other, and the two couldn't help laughing, "This is all your mother asked you to say, right?

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, indeed, if you want to talk about the advantages of the Three Treasures, that is, he can eat and be able to be very obedient, he is completely a big man with a simple mind and developed limbs, you can let him move mountains all day long, but if you want him to think about things, in his words, he can't that heart, and he is too lazy to bother with that.

Seeing that Shen Feng had exposed himself, Sanbao smiled honestly, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with a little embarrassment: "Actually, I actually think what my mother said is quite right!"

"You two can rest assured, the village chief has already considered this matter, how can so many fields be easily lost? Besides, isn't it the old roots of our Xishui Village?" Uncle Gen said with a smile to Sanbao.

Today, everyone in the Shen Mansion has nothing to do, so they plan to let all the backbone personnel in the Shen Mansion conduct a thorough field investigation of all the industries under the name of the Shen Mansion. While being well informed, it also lays the foundation for the development of various tasks after the year. After all, if you don't understand the actual situation and make a decision just by looking at the title deed, you will inevitably be suspected of talking on paper.

Since Uncle Gen was very experienced in the fields, he was now in charge of the management of the tenants and the fields. And now the location of everyone is Wanyun Village, which is close to the Yuhua River in the south of Feixue Town, because it is close to the Yuhua River, most of the rice fields in Wanyun Village are good paddy fields, and these paddy fields were bought by the Xiao family by various means a long time ago, and now more than a dozen families in the village have all become tenants of the Shen Mansion.

These people have been in anxiety since the Xiao family was broken, and now that Shen Feng has come to take over, it has made more than a dozen tenants fearful, for fear that if they come to a black-hearted master's house, it will be even more difficult to endure that day.

Shen Feng didn't pay attention to the tenants' onlookers from afar, and just asked Uncle Gen to observe the situation with the land deed.

"It's close to the river, so the water is still guaranteed, and the harvest should be good. However, on the whole, the paddy fields in Wanyun Village are also notoriously high-yielding in this vicinity, and the harvest is good whether it is an irrigated paddy field or a Wangtian field. The reason why the Xiao family has stored so much grain is probably half of it due to Wanyun Village. Uncle Gen walked beside Shen Feng, and as he walked, he introduced the situation to everyone.

After the group of people turned around and figured out all the situation, Shen Feng led everyone to the tenants who were watching from a distance.

Looking at these tense and timid tenants in front of him, Shen Feng smiled and said gently: "My name is Shen Feng, and I will be the owner of these fields in the future, looking at your appearance, you are probably all tenants in Wanyun Village, right?"

The tenants on the opposite side did not answer, but nodded nervously at Shen Feng.

"Is the owner of the field in front?" Just as Shen Feng was about to continue questioning these onlookers, he saw an old man with a cane hurrying over.

"Yes, I'll be the master of this house from now on. Shen Feng said.

"Distinguished guests are coming, why don't you bastards hurry up and invite the master's house to the house, why are you standing here stupidly?" As soon as the old man saw Shen Feng admit it, he angrily reprimanded these onlookers.

"Are you?" asked Shen Feng.

"The little old man's surname is Wan, and he is considered their elder, so the main family can call me Lao Wantou. Let's go, let's go! The distinguished guest came, and sat down in the house. After Lao Wantou made an introduction, he hurriedly invited Shen Feng.

"That's bothering, we came here today to understand the situation, so as to make some rule adjustments according to the actual situation. Shen Feng said as he followed Lao Wantou into the small village.

"Yes, yes, the main family is the new main family, so naturally there are some rules to be changed. But when Xiao Lao'er looked at it, he knew that the main family was a kind-hearted person, and he would not embarrass us who were bitter. Lao Wantou asked tentatively.

"Hehe, how can it be difficult? When we cooperate, we need to trust and help each other, and only in this way can it be beneficial to all of us. If you don't work on both sides, you won't be able to do anything. ”

While speaking, everyone came to the village of Wanyun Village, only to see more than a dozen adobe houses standing there, while most of the villagers in the village looked numb and sluggish, and they didn't seem to have any spirit on their bodies.

Lao Wantou's yard is not big, and when a group of people entered, he began to ask people to help borrow tables, chairs and benches from various houses, and then took out tea leaves that he didn't know how long he had treasured, and asked people to make tea and pour water for everyone.

"Hehe, don't be busy, we won't stay long, sit down and talk, by the way, if any of you want to listen, you can also lean over here, and you can ask any questions or anything at any time." I will also try my best to ensure that you will be given a satisfactory and clear answer. Shen Feng greeted Lao Wantou, and then said to the onlookers.

However, his initiative did not get the desired effect, although Lao Wantou hurriedly stood up, but the onlookers were still you look at me, I look at you, and no one had the desire to speak.

"Sit, sit, how has the harvest in the fields been in the past two years?What kind of regulations did you have when you cooperated with the Xiao family before?" Shen Feng beckoned Lao Wantou, who was a little restrained, to sit down, and then asked.

"The harvest was good a few years ago, but this is the third year in a row due to the drought, so the harvest on the Wangtian side has decreased by 20%. In the past, when I was with Lord Xiao's family, they would take ninety percent, and the rest would go to ourselves. When the year was good, it was still successful, but now it is dry year after year, so when it comes to this kind of green and yellow scarcity, it is difficult for everyone to eat a full meal. ”

After listening to Lao Wantou, Shen Feng glanced at Uncle Gen, and when he saw Uncle Gen nodding at himself, he understood that what the other party said was the truth, you must know that before coming, Shen Feng asked Uncle Gen to make some detailed inquiries about the detained Xiao family.

"His name is Shen Changgen, and he will contact you for all the things here in the future, and we have been discussing ways for everyone to cooperate on the way here just now. Then I want to formulate a practical plan according to the actual situation in Wanyun Village, and now let him talk about our thoughts in front of everyone, and whoever has any problems and unclear things can ask questions at any time. If we don't think it's a problem, then we need to sign a contract of cooperation to protect the interests of both of us. Shen Feng pointed to Uncle Gen and said to Lao Wantou and the tenants gathered around.
