Chapter 35 Cooperation
The cooperation method of many fish is very simple: "We provide people, labor and tools, and you provide seeds and land. When the autumn harvest occurs, we take [-]% of the total harvest."

Li Feng's first reaction was to refuse: "Taxation alone requires [-]%. If the king increases taxes due to the war between Qin and Zhao, my [-]% may not be enough for my family."

"But you got it for free. Without us, your fields would be empty and you would still have to pay taxes."

Li Feng shook his head repeatedly.

That's how people are, if they don't take advantage of something, they feel like they're at a loss.

Many Fish gave in and said, "Li Langjun's only concern is taxation, and he is worried that the king will increase taxes. How about we split the taxation and harvest [-]/[-]."

It sounds better than the suggestion just now, but why do you feel so uncomfortable?Is it possible that this field is shared by both families?

Li Feng could not make up his mind.

"There is one last way to cooperate. We will pay you rent according to the average rent paid by the tenant farmers in previous years. No matter what the output is or how the taxes are, this amount will remain unchanged."

Many fish bite, as if this is the bottom line.

Li Feng pondered, this kind of cooperation is a sure profit, but if the output is higher than before, or the king reduces taxes...

No, there is no way the king will reduce taxes.As for the output, how much higher can it be?Although according to the average rent, the rent is only [-]%, it is a guaranteed profit.

"Here!" Li Feng signed contracts with many fish on the spot and swore to God.

During the Warring States Period, people still believed in gods in the sky.

Even marching and fighting have a set of rituals to worship God. You must worship God before setting off, you must worship God when traveling over mountains and rivers, and you must worship God after winning a battle...

Gods are everywhere, and oaths are like another kind of law, binding.

Li Feng got a satisfactory result, left the gift, and returned home.

Mrs. Lian Xiao counted on her fingers, and the more she calculated, the more confused she became: "There are so many fish, are we suffering a loss?"

"If there is a natural disaster, or if the king increases taxes, we will lose money."

Mrs. Lian Xiao frowned: "We still have enough money and food at home, why bother ourselves?"

Because this is the last good harvest in Zhao State in five years.

After this autumn harvest, Zhao State not only had to face natural disasters, but also experienced man-made disasters.Food will become the most important material.

"After this autumn harvest, I want to fill up the granary at home so that my sister-in-law will not have to check the warehouse every day, otherwise she will not be able to sleep." Duoyu said with a smile.

Mrs. Lian's cheeks glowed, and she said angrily: "You little slut, you dare to make fun of your sister-in-law! Mother-in-law, please take care of her quickly."

Mrs. Lian deliberately said with a straight face: "In my opinion, what Duoyu said is true."

"Mother-in-law!" Mrs. Lian Xiao said coquettishly, "I know that mother-in-law has a new person, so she forgets about the old one."

Many fish made jokes in front of the master's wife, making the master's wife and sister-in-law laugh from ear to ear.

On the way home, Li Feng encountered the Chen family and the Liu family who were in the same difficult situation.Since the three families were family friends and there was no conflict of interest, Li Feng laid out the matter of cooperating with Duoyu.

"Li Langjun, I would like to ask you to introduce me tomorrow."

"Exactly, this way of cooperation is very good!"

The three of them agreed to visit many fishes together tomorrow morning.

Spring plowing time is tight, and one more day of delay will affect the harvest.Therefore, the three people came to visit early in the morning carrying heavy gifts.

"You also want to cooperate?" Many fish were considering the people and farm tools in their hands, and they couldn't judge whether they could eat so much land.

Liu Jiaerlang was very good at looking at his eyes. Seeing many fish in trouble, his heart skipped a beat: "I'm willing to get the lowest price for the rent!" Last night, Liu Jiaerlang calculated the rent at home over the years. Even if it was the lowest price, it would still be worth it. It can reach two and a half percent.

What a jerk!The youngest of the Chen family realized it later and cursed secretly in his heart.

"The Chen family is also willing to take the lowest value!" The youngest of the Chen family was heartbroken and bleeding.The Chen family's land is not as fertile as the Liu family's, and the rent is not as high as his.

Li Feng secretly rejoiced at the side. Thanks to not hesitating yesterday and starting a day late, he didn't lose even a little bit.

Many fish did not respond immediately, but ordered people to pass on Xu Xing. Professional matters must still be left to professionals.

After learning the specific situation, Xu Xing counted several times with his fingers before nodding to the many fish.

"Yes!" Duoyu signed a contract with the two families on the spot, while Xu Xing hurriedly arranged for people to go to spring plowing.

In the entire fiefdom, not only the refugees, but also the bandits captured last time were transferred to farming.

"Black Dolphin, please take the time to inspect the surrounding area in the past few days to see if there are any bandits." Two people can at least be responsible for ten acres of land. How can they be bandits?It’s obviously a moving field!
Black Dolphin hesitated: "There are not enough guards in the house. If I am not here, who can protect the safety of the queen?"

Many Fish waved their hands: "I'm in the house and I'm not going anywhere."

It just so happened that there had been a lot of movement between the two armies recently, so I could stay in the study and quietly deduce and think.

"Here!"

Lian Po, who was missed by many fish, was not willing to waste potatoes, so he asked the soldiers to plant potatoes in the river valley during their rest days.

Zhao Jun's movements were quickly learned by Wang Lu.

"Spring plowing?" Wang Hao rushed this information to Xianyang.

After Qin attacked Shangdang, the people in the Shangdang area of ​​South Korea abandoned Qin and defected to Zhao. Lian Po took in these poor people in Shangdang in the Changping area.

This made the upper echelons of Qin very angry. In addition, Zhao was the strongest in Shandong, so Qin and Zhao would eventually have a war.

But Lian Po's actions cast a layer of gloom over Wang Lu's mood. Could it be that Lian Po would choose to stay in retreat?

This is definitely not a situation Qin wants to see.

After the King of Qin, who was far away in Xianyang, received the letter, he summoned Fan Sui to come to discuss the matter.

"Potatoes? Are they grown by Gong Zizheng and that girl?" Fan Sui was very impressed by this girl.

King Qin couldn't remember who these two people were.

Fan Sui: "Gong Zizheng was born to Zi Chu and Zhao Ji. That girl is Lin Xiangru's adopted daughter and Lian Po's direct disciple. After Lian Po went to war, she took care of all the fiefdom matters."

The King of Qin frowned in disgust. Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were both people he disliked. It had nothing to do with their character, it was purely because of their different stances. These two people worked for the State of Zhao and caused a lot of trouble for the State of Qin.

Fan Sui remembered Lou Huan's private message and decided to say a few words for Duo Yumei: "Although this girl is young, she has outstanding intelligence. Both the farmer and Qi Mo work for her."

King Qin didn't take Qi Mo seriously, but the farmer...

"Do you want to go to the farm?"

"Yes. Xu Xing has been anonymous for many years. This high-profile comeback must be based on something. Could it be this potato?" Fan Sui raised the importance of potatoes to a higher level.

King Qin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "No problem, they are just making wedding clothes for us. When we capture Changping, everything will be ours."

Fan Sui wanted to tell King Qin what Qi Mo did in Handan, but then he thought, is this little thing worth mentioning?

At this time, neither King Qin nor Fan Sui expected that these two children, who were as weak as ants, would think ahead of them step by step, and even change the situation of the battle in the blink of an eye.
