Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Public land was usually leased out by government managers.

The person who manages public land is a poor man, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. Especially in a disaster year like this, only a dozen acres of a thousand acres of public land are affected by floods. When the management officials report it, they may claim that hundreds of acres of good farmland are affected by floods.

The government will send someone down to check.

At this time, if you give them some benefits, the inspectors will help you lie about the disaster.

If the inspectors can't be bought off, there are ways.

As long as you collude with local farm guards and spokespersons and take inspection personnel to visit the actual affected farmland twice, you can get away with it.

There is no need to even lie about the disaster situation this year, because locusts are raging and attacking crops in all farmlands indiscriminately.

Government public land is directly rent-free.

If relevant, renting public land is more cost-effective than renting private land owned by the landlord.

The rent of public land is usually lower than the market rate.

In a disaster year, if the landlord can reduce or reduce your rent by half, the tenants will be grateful and kowtow to express their gratitude.

If public land rented for farming is affected by floods, droughts, or insect infestations, the government will, after verification, reduce or reduce the rent based on the disaster situation. This reduction will be very generous.

In fact, few ordinary farmers could rent public land.

Basically, they are all kinds of related households.

Have a certain background or power.

For example, take the big landowner Yan Ruhai as an example. The Yan family owns more than 1,000 acres of land. He rents out his own land and then, through connections, rents public land.

After renting the public land, he will most likely find a way to rent it out.

By changing hands, you can earn at least a 20% interest rate difference.

In bad years, there is almost no rent for rented public land. However, the Yan family will ask for rent from tenants, and at most it will be an appropriate reduction or exemption.

In this way, many people can live a very comfortable life even if they don't work.

Qin Niu also had some idea of ​​what was going on here.

In the past, he was just a small person, and it was impossible to touch the public land.

Now that he came to take over the one hundred acres of public land, he didn't act rashly when he saw crops planted on the land.

Whether they are local snakes or officials who manage public land, they all have certain backgrounds and powers, and they should try not to offend them if possible.

This is also the way he has always conducted himself.

"The government granted these public lands to Mr. Qin?"

asked the older farmer.

The young farmer is full of envy.

"good."

Qin Niu nodded in confirmation.

"Okay, we'll help you go to the village and ask."

The old farmer bowed his hands and walked away with the hoe.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing green brocade clothes arrived in a carriage.

The carriage is quite luxurious, at least it has a roof made of copper skin, and the body is quite wide, and it can accommodate three to four people at the same time. The horse pulling the cart was clearly a bloody horse.

It is simply a luxury to use such a good horse-drawn carriage.

After the carriage stopped, the driver jumped off the carriage neatly, moved the horse stool, and respectfully asked the middle-aged man in the carriage to get down.

He called this person Fourth Master.

It means that the person who came is a senior member of the He family.

"I, the fourth son of the Pang family, known as the Fourth Master, are currently in charge of the He family's property and planting. I have also heard of the name of Shuangfeng Village's insect master Qin Niu. I must be Master Qin Niu, right?"

After Pang Si got out of the car, he stared at Qin Niu and then held his hands in greeting.

It seems polite, but in fact it is full of arrogance.

The children of these big families are all proud to the core.

Born with a golden key in his mouth, he was pampered and pampered. When he looked at people, he naturally raised his eyes to look up.

The so-called eyes higher than the top refers to these people.

"I don't dare to be a master. I am Qin Niu, the insect master."

Qin Niu dealt with it carefully.

After all, the He family is an older family than the Yan family.

"These public fields all belong to Master Qin?"    "Yes."

Qin Niu nodded again.

"Can you discuss it with Master Qin? These public fields have been rented and planted by our He family. You see, now that crops have been planted in the fields, how about our He family replacing them with other fields for you?"

Fourth Master He has such a big face.

These one hundred acres of public land are all fertile land, and there are even more than ten acres of black land.

How can you say just change it?

"I wonder what fields Mr. He is going to trade for?"

Qin Niu did not refuse immediately.

The other party has already planted crops, this is a fact.

Moreover, Fourth Master He also said that these public fields have always been rented by the He family.

Since ancient times, there has been a rule that buying and selling does not violate leasing, and both parties resolve the matter through friendly negotiation.

"The fields over there belong to our He family. How about we just allocate 100 acres to Master Qin?"

Fourth Master He pointed to a large field on the other side of the river.

The terrain there is flat, with rivers on one side and mountains on the other.

The quality of this kind of land is far different from Qin Niu's one hundred acres of fertile land. The fields near the river are easily flooded.

As long as the river rises in summer, the floods will overflow the river banks and directly submerge large fields.

The sediment contained in the flood will wash into the fields.

So the soil in this field is called sandy loam.

Carefully pick up a handful and crush it lightly.

Although it is easy to loosen and get wet, it has good water retention. But the majority of its soil is sand, not soil.

This will cause its decomposition ability to become poor, it will not be easy to store fertilizer, and its air permeability will be extremely poor.

When the crops were planted on it, the seedlings turned yellow and the roots withered, and they could not grow more than two feet high in half a year.

Also, there are many large willow trees planted on both sides of the river embankment, which will block the sunlight from the adjacent fields.

This is also a major flaw.

If crops are not exposed to sunlight, their photosynthesis will be greatly inhibited, and growth will definitely be a problem. Plants are thin, susceptible to disease, and yield is low.

Then let’s talk about the fields at the foot of the mountain. The mountain peak is in the south. Everyone knows that when building a house, it should face north and south.

South-facing rooms are often used as master bedrooms.

The lighting is good, the sun is abundant, and people can live comfortably.

The same goes for crops.

A lot of sunlight is blocked by the mountain peaks, and at least thirty or forty acres of the one hundred acres of farmland are under the shadow of the mountain peaks.

The crops grown in this field specialize in shade germination.

Tender seedlings, tall and thin, and green leaves are their characteristics. The disease resistance is extremely weak, the lodging resistance is extremely weak, and the yield is low.

Qin Niu was not a layman in planting. He glanced at the field pointed by Fourth Master He and refused directly without thinking, "If Fourth Master He is sincere about the replacement, please show your sincerity. If the He family does not want to offer a field of the same quality, As a replacement, it doesn't matter if I rent these fields to the He family for another year. The rent will be calculated at market price, and it won't be expensive for the He family anyway."

This is said to be very self-cultivated.

Fourth Master He kept saying that he wanted to exchange land with him, but taking out some medium-sized land to replace his high-grade fertile land was simply bullying him because he was young and did not know how to do it.

Qin Niu still calmly gave the solution, which was considered very thoughtful.

"Those fields are also fertile fields, and yours are also fertile fields. He is very sincere. My He family has been established in Yuxi Town for more than 800 years. My He family is the only one who rents fields to others, and has never rented other people's fields. Rules. If Master Qin thinks that the fields I gave you are not as good as the ones here, I can give you five more acres. One hundred and five acres in exchange for your one hundred acres.

This is already the greatest sincerity of my He family. "

Fourth Master He's tone was somewhat overbearing and did not allow for negotiation or rejection.

"The He family has never rented other people's fields? Aren't these public fields rented?"

Qin Niu curled his lips.

The smile on his face had long gone.

Respect is mutual.

He always solved the matter with a smile. Fourth Master He, relying on his status as an established family, actually bullied a new small landowner like him. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate it anymore.

If a person has no temper, he will only be treated as a weakling and bullied at will. (End of chapter)
