Chapter 1638 Summer Harvest in Luxi Village (XIV)
The fifteen households returned home and made it clear to the elderly, daughter-in-law and children that Qi Zhuang needed only a limited number of people, so they would first find reliable ones from among their own relatives, and then give the remaining vacant seats to others to ensure that everyone could work together. Work together with one heart and one mind, no one will be lazy and slippery.

But whether these tenant farmers are willing to give up their land depends on the content of the contract they signed at that time. According to the virtues of the landlords, all profits will definitely go to the landlord, and the tenant farmers will suffer all losses.

After the talks between their families, the men from the fifteen households got together to discuss again, and they waited until the next day to start action.

Those who failed to pay the tax yesterday and were tied to the tree did not let go all night. The family members brought water and cried while feeding them.

Xu Yuanshan and other [-] households were led by men first, and went to their close relatives to talk about the tax collection, and then they talked about the topic of renting their family's land to Qizhuang yesterday. contract, so the topic naturally led to the tenancy contract of relatives.

There is a contract for the farmland, and there is not a single piece of paper written on it. There are only a few sentences from the beginning to the end, but the villagers are illiterate and cannot understand the specific content, so several people agreed with their relatives and secretly hid the contract. , made a big circle around the village and slipped to Qizhuang to show them.

The deputy housekeeper received five contracts in a row, which happened to come from three landlords' houses, and the contents were all exactly the same, and it was unknown who copied which.

Just those few words are the obligations of the tenant farmers and the rights of the landlords.

[-]% of the land rent and field mu tax are written in black and white in the contract. If this is a normal business, with such a high ratio of land price and tax to silver, no one will rent land at all. lifeblood.

After reading the contract, the deputy housekeeper knew what to do, and asked the villagers to go home and encourage their relatives to sign the deed of prostitution. After signing, they would have money to pay taxes, avoiding the pain of being tied to a tree for public display.

The five villagers immediately went back to report that the contract did not include the price of giving up the land. Now that the autumn grain has just been planted, they should quickly change to a new owner, and they will not have to pay taxes in the future.

The deputy housekeeper passed the news to Zhaolin and Qi Ke, and Qi Ke reminded them to take the account books of the three landlords, which was evidence of their tax evasion. Show the evidence and talk together in front of the tax collectors.

The landlords of the three surnames have also lived in the village for many years. Even if Qizhuang does not have the account books of their three families, they can still know the amount of land they own in the village from the villagers.

The relatives learned that Qi Zhuang really had a way to save them, all they needed to do was sign a contract of prostitution to borrow a sum of money to pay taxes, and then work for Qi Zhuang. As many people in the family are willing to sign, the more people who sign, the more money they will borrow, and the longer the repayment period will be.

The things they tell their relatives are naturally chosen. They strictly abide by the request made by the deputy housekeeper yesterday. Everyone knows that Qi Zhuang's salary is settled every month if there is a little left to cope with the current life.
