Chapter 203

The results of the closed vote came out as scheduled three days later, and it was no surprise that Qingyu's family was chosen.

Zhufeng wasn't surprised at all, the only thing I was curious about was the amount of money in the investment, but Qingyu sold Guanzi to the end, until the two came to the Tiancao yamen, and Zhufeng took his own investment form from the yamen. How much money.

Three hundred and one two.

Zhufeng thought of Qingyu's phrase "just right" that day, and couldn't help laughing.

But the government official laughed before him, "You and the He family paid 300 taels for one, and [-] taels for the other. We are all wondering if you have inquired about the He family's submission in private."

Zhufeng quickly clarified, "How can this be possible? It's purely luck."

The yamen officials didn't care about this, "In short, although you only have one or two more, you are also the ones who paid the most money. So this land belongs to you."

Three hundred and one taels, 13 mu of land, [-] farm tool, and [-] strong cattle. It can't be said to be cheap, but it's not expensive either.On the market, a young cow can be worth [-] taels, and a mature cow can be worth [-] taels.Based on the average price of one tael or eight yuan, this deal is not bad.

Because it is an official land, there is no need to ask Zhuang Ya for a contract like a landlord's private land. The Yamen directly signed a contract, and finally settled the money. city.

After returning to Taoyaju, considering that it was the season of the wheat fields, the wind would not delay, so I packed up and went to the countryside. People rushed to Dongyezhuang again.

The head of Dongyezhuang got the news the day before and notified the tenant farmers in advance.However, when I saw Zhuifeng, I was still a little surprised. I didn't expect that this boss really got the shot.

Zhuangtou introduced his name, it turned out to be Zheng Mu.Then he asked Zhufeng and Tian's eldest son to sit down for a while, and went to call the tenant farmers over.

Because it is a village, the tenant farmers live very close together, and basically two voices can gather everyone together.Zhuifeng heard Zheng Mu yelling a few times, and he came back, and the three of them did not wait long before the tenant farmers arrived one after another.

More than 60 tenant farmers from twelve households came, and basically everyone except those who were too old came.The empty dams in front of the open house were all filled.

There are more than 60 people standing close together in a pile. After being exposed to the sun all year round, their skin looks dark and shiny. They only need to wrinkle slightly to wrinkle their faces, and they look very serious.

Everyone frowned and looked at Zhuifeng expressionlessly.

The eldest son of the Tian family understood the thoughts of the tenant farmers to some extent. He could see the vigilance and vigilance of the more than 60 people at a glance, and whispered in Zhuifeng's ear: "The rent of official land is generally less than that of private land. These people must now I'm worried that the rent will increase." Maybe there will be trouble.

Zhufeng nodded slightly, this is to give him a blow to his new boss.He took a sip from his teacup, without saying a word, and looked at the tenant booklet that Zheng Mu handed him.

There are twelve families with one hundred mu of land, and each family has at least six or seven mu, and some have more than ten mu.Most of these people should only occupy his family.Unlike Pingpo Village, because it is Hezi land, there are [-] households in the area of ​​[-] mu.

Zheng Mu saw that he was watching carefully, mainly because he was too slow, so he urged appropriately: "Boss, look, do you have anything to say?"

Zhuifeng slowly flipped through the entire booklet, not many people could read, only four of the twelve households signed it, and the rest were handprints.

Seeing that everyone was blinded by the sun, he put down the booklet, stood up with a smile, and said to the tenant farmers: "Everyone has worked hard, and you should know that from now on, the land of Dongyezhuang will belong to me." .”

The tenant farmers looked at him with increasing seriousness.

Zhufeng continued to smile kindly: "I know that this year's weather is not easy for everyone, so we re-established the lease." While talking, he took out a stack of leases, "Anyone who can read can come and read for everyone. "

As expected, the lease was to be re-determined, and the tenant farmers frowned even tighter. The eldest son of the Tian family even saw some people clenched their fists, and stood up worriedly.

As if he didn't see it, Zhuifeng shook the lease in his hand and asked silently, "Who wants to come?"

The tenant farmers looked at each other, and finally someone volunteered, "I'll do it", strode up to Zhuifeng, took the new lease from him, and began to read aloud word by word.

The tenancy deeds are all uniformly printed by the yamen, and the content is the same as the old ones, except for one place, which is the tenancy.

But when the rent was about to be read, the person who read it couldn't help but stopped, obviously shocked, glanced at Zhuifeng, as if asking, until Zhufeng slightly nodded to him, and then he continued to read, " .Fifty percent for tenant rent, fifty percent for borrowing farm tools, and sixty percent for borrowing cattle.”

The dam is very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of mosquitoes can be clearly heard.Then, there was a sudden burst of applause and applause, and finally, whoever took the lead in shouting "chasing the boss", the tenant farmers shouted in unison one by one, and the sound resounded.

Zheng Mu was also very surprised.Previously, tenant farmers paid [-]% of their rent, [-]% of those who borrowed farm tools, and [-]% of those who borrowed cattle.And this is already the cheapest of all tenants.He didn't expect that as soon as the new owner came, he would set a new low for the rent, and the scene where he thought the tenants would make trouble was completely avoided.

After waiting for everyone to shout a few times, Zhuifeng raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said with a high voice: "Although God will not give us food this year, we ourselves cannot give up on ourselves. The land is the foundation of survival, your hands , is the foundation upon which everything is built.”

Although the tenant farmers don't quite understand it, they are still happy on the surface, and the rent is [-]%, which is more important than anything else.So there was another round of cheers.

Zhuifeng waited for everyone to be quiet again, before continuing: "Although the heavenly stems cannot be changed, the earth can. I am here today, in addition to signing a new contract with you, the most important thing is to teach you a set of land preparation methods." New way."

A new method of land preparation?The tenant farmers immediately looked puzzled. They have been farming for decades, so how do they need the master to teach them how to prepare the land?

But no one dared to ask this directly, and everyone looked at Zhuifeng in a daze.

Chasing the wind continued: "My great-grandfather also encountered a severe drought in the past, which was even more severe than the current situation. There are thousands of miles of red land, and there is no green in the four fields.

But God still gave him a glimmer of life.When the great-grandfather was looking for wild vegetables to overcome the shortage, he found several green and vigorous wheat seedlings in the crevice of a stone next to a mouse hole.

My great-grandfather pushed aside the rocks and saw that the ground below was quite wet, so he imitated the law and realized the technique of "pressing rocks to preserve moisture". With this technique, wheat seedlings grew in the dry land. "

After hearing this, the tenant farmers were surprised and amazed.Pressing stones to preserve moisture?Never heard of it, what do you mean?With this method, can the dry land really be moistened?
The eldest son of the Tian family and Zheng Mu were also a little confused, they were also peasants, but this was indeed the first time they had heard this statement.In previous years, when there was a severe drought, it was common for crops to fail. Could it be that they could still compete with God?
(Only two updates today~ good night, okay)

 After leaving my friend's house, I frantically browsed the various rental channels.At that time, I also made an appointment with a college classmate and his friend. The three of them planned to rent a three-bedroom apartment, so when I was looking for a house, I had to consider not only myself, but also two other people, but obviously none of them had left. The school and the other live at home, and I am not as urgent as I am, so I choose and choose, and I am not satisfied here and there. Finally, the three of them agreed, and I was eager to see the house immediately.After sitting on the bus for more than two hours, I finally arrived at my destination after six o'clock in the afternoon.God is also very naughty, as soon as we got out of the car, it rained heavily. I am also lucky, I have an umbrella.I held an umbrella and dragged my suitcase to look at the apartment. My classmate said she would not come if it rained heavily, so I said "yes" indifferently.It was a Northeast family from Harbin. The family of five also rented a house and planned to sublet it. Their children were the same age as mine.Seeing me, a little girl, dragging a suitcase wet in the heavy rain to see the house, the family was stunned and invited me into the house.As soon as I entered the house, they first asked me if I had eaten. I shook my head, and the family hurriedly scooped up rice for me.My tears are uncontrollable.Then I asked if I had a place to stay at night, and I shook my head again, because on the way here, I had asked my classmates in advance if the house could not be settled, could I stay at her house for one night, unfortunately, she Said it was inconvenient at home.So, for a week after that, I was in the northeastern people's house, eating, drinking and lodging for free, and I shared a bed with their daughter, and they were very warm to me.I have never had the chance to repay them, but I will never forget them.grateful!
