Chapter 131
"Although I'm only here to see you for the first time, Fei Chuan has told me about your character. Of course, I made him dismiss those farmers with bad character. You can stay, at least it shows that we I can trust you."

Xie Daoyun said: "For the time being, I will rent all these fields to you. For the time being, I will charge you three floors of rent. But the taxation of the court needs to be done by yourself."

Xie Daoyun also has no choice, she doesn't have much money with a clear source to use now, and other landlords' families may be [-]%, or even [-]%.

Those farmers who rented the land from the landlord's house may have only one floor, or at most two floors, left in their hands after handing over these pillars.

The tax collected by the imperial court fluctuates a little every year, sometimes it is [-]%, sometimes it is more than [-]%. Of course, because the fertility of each mu of land is different, generally speaking, it is based on the earliest purchase of the mu. The fertility of the field is calculated, and then an average is taken, not a few layers, but a specific amount.

Xie Daoyun also set a relatively low base. In this way, a few farmers did some calculations and found that after paying the rent, they could leave more food than in previous years. This is a great thing.

"The boss is a good man, we thank the boss."

"Yes, my master is a bodhisattva. Thank you, my master."

Xie Daoyun didn't think she had done a great thing, but it was indeed a good thing for these tenants.

If she leaked a little from her hands, these farmers would be able to keep a little more. She didn't expect these people to be grateful, but it would be better if these people could be grateful.

After some rhetoric, Xie Daoyun asked them all to leave, leaving only the one in charge.

Xie Daoyun said to him: "You help me manage it every year, and I don't need you to squeeze other people. You just need to follow my regulations step by step, and you will be exempted from half of the rent every year."

Half of that is quite a lot. His family rented [-] mu. With the half of it, [-] mu is equivalent to three or four mu of land that doesn't need to be rented. This is a lot of food.

If I can have this amount of food, the steward will think about it and calculate it. If I work harder every year, I will be able to send my youngest son to a private school in two years.

Not everyone wants to send their children to study, although everyone understands that studying is the only way out.

How can the status of the family be changed without the imperial examination?

But when it was their turn, everyone would think that they could buy some land by saving the rent.

If you send your child to a private school, it will cost a lot of money. The most you can learn to read the money is spent, and it is not so easy to pass the Jinshi exam.

There are so many people going to drink every year, even those from aristocratic families have so many students who failed the rankings.

Not to mention their peasant family without the slightest background.

But this is what the steward thinks in his heart. No matter what, sending the children in the family to study can always look forward to the future.

As long as they can always be in charge of this Zhuangzi, judging from the current situation of the owner, their family can save a lot of money. As long as there is no disaster year, life will always get better.

If the son can't do it, then send the grandson there. One day their family can produce a scholar, and then they can become a farming and studying family.

Xie Daoyun didn't even know that his tenant still had such thoughts. If he knew, he would definitely pay attention to him. This person doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable, let alone, he has some ideas.

Walking all the way, Mrs. Xie Wu looked at the several acres of fields and felt a little strange. Why is there no wheat or rice planted in this field?Instead, I planted some vegetables.

The steward suddenly looked a little unhappy, and looked at Xie Daoyun with some fear.

Fortunately, Xie Daoyun didn't say anything to him. Instead, he helped to explain: "This is the people who held the diamonds before. Although they left, they still cut off the rice in our field. Is there any income for this half season?" There is a way, so I let them replant some vegetables, at least they can earn some income."

Xie Wu said distressedly: "Those families really deserve to die. How come the good grain was cut off halfway, and now there is more than one stone of grain for an acre of land."

Xie Daoyun said: "That's the thing before. Didn't we still take an acre of land and three taels of silver as compensation? That's the thing, but growing vegetables here is not a bad thing."

Xie Wu looked at her daughter and said, "Are you stupid? There are a lot of vegetables in this vegetable field. Everyone has a lot of vegetables. If they don't grow food, can this vegetable be enough?"

From their point of view, there is no food to grow and no food to harvest in this field. It is just some vegetables. Everyone has a lot of land in their homes. Although it does not mean that no one wants to give it to others, it is similar.

Anyway, there are a lot at home, and the extra ones are used to feed pigs.

Xie Daoyun couldn't explain it to them. She was thinking of making pickles. She remembered many recipes of modern pickles, which were different from ancient pickles and tasted much better.

She doesn't plan to sell it, but she can give it to those close to her, and of course save more for winter.

She didn't expect that in winter, nothing but cabbage would be radishes.

At this point the potatoes hadn't even appeared.

"Wait, speaking of potatoes, this thing clearly appeared in the book, or is it not only here? It seems that Zhou Tingyu has to ask. This potato is a good thing. It is not only delicious, but also has many varieties. Moreover, it has a high yield and is a very good crop to solve the food problem.”

She was thinking about this here, while Xie Wushi was still rambling on over there, feeling very distressed in her heart.

The steward listened to it and felt like sweating, but yes, seeing that this family was the same as his own, they were all from farming households, and they felt very sorry for the grain in the field.

Thinking of this, he was still thinking that those tricky guys were driven away, but when they left, they actually cut the grain in the field. They also saw it at the time, but they didn't Courage to stop.

Thinking about it now, it's a good thing the boss didn't implicate them. If the boss must blame them, it's justified.

"Okay, mother, this thing has become like this. If you don't replant these vegetables, you will have nothing. I was thinking that we will make some pickles. Don't look at me like this, I have something in my heart Just make some new pickles, not the ones we used to eat."

In fact, this pickle also uses a lot of oil and other ingredients. If the ingredients are not enough to fry it directly, the taste will naturally be bad. Other people, including Xie Wu, don't like pickles very much, and they don't like it. That's why.
