The lady is busy farming

Chapter 144

　  Zheng Maocheng didn't think too much about it, so he agreed, "Well, good,"

　  Standing up with a little apology, he saluted Pan Lizheng, "Can you send a little brother to show us the way?"

Pan Li was listening to the conversation between the father and the father, and he was more sure of his thoughts in his heart. He smiled more on his face, stood up a little courteously, and said politely: "It was introduced by Brother Zheng. Although the old man is old, he can walk a few steps away. I can still go." After speaking, he still didn't forget to twist his mustache to show his closeness.

"Thank you, Li Zheng," Zheng Maocheng said gratefully, holding Qiangwei's hand and following behind.

Seeing Pan Lizheng's demeanor, Qiangwei couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said nothing quietly.

However, as Pan Lizheng said, the fields are not far away, and they are all within the scope of Da'ao Village. Standing on the ridge of the field, looking at the continuous paddy fields, it's just that the water in the fields has been drained now, and sorghum and sorghum have been planted. corn.It's just a little seedling.

"It's here. The autumn crops have just been planted. The owner means to sell them together with the autumn crops. You can think about it."

"Grandpa Lizheng, do these fields have permanent tenants?" Looking at the vibrant young Miaomiao, Qiangwei can also conclude that these fields are indeed fertile enough.

"Of course, the tenants of these fields are the villagers of our Da'ao Village. Because of this, the old man will care about the whereabouts of these fields." Pan Lizheng said with a look of course, coupled with a face of righteousness, no matter how you look at it, it is the same. A good leader who cares about the villagers.

It's just that when these words are heard in Qiangwei's ears, the taste is different?What do you mean by that, the host can't be the host here?The best tenant?How naive!

I have to tell the truth about Qiangwei. These tenants were not happy when they knew that the owner was going to sell the field. They planted well and sold it as soon as they said it.What if the next owner doesn't want to rent to them?
Who knows who proposed to ask Lizheng to make the decision, and this matter came to Pan Lizheng.At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. The field belonged to others, so he could sell it if he wanted to.Could it be that these tenants can still be the masters of the master's house?

Later, I don’t know who said that he was Li Zheng of Da’ao Village, and if the squire wanted to sell the land, he had to discuss it with Li Zheng, so that he could arrange where the tenants would go, or force them to die.

Seeing the selfishness of the villagers, Pan Lizheng was noncommittal, so he put on a look of embarrassment, and finally agreed reluctantly that he could try to ask the squire's opinion, but there was no guarantee that they would listen to him.

Thinking about it carefully, he was really a little worried. He was afraid that some big family would take a fancy to these fields. Those rich people would not care about the life and death of these tenants. Reasonable.

But these people are all villagers of Da'ao Village, and when the time comes, they will become stiff, and it will be him, the village leader, who will be troubled in the end.That's why he reluctantly agreed to the matter in the expectant eyes of the villagers.

Fortunately, the squire was enough to give Pan Li a face, saying that the land was sold, there was no doubt about it.If Lizheng can find a buyer in a short period of time, this matter can be discussed, and Pan Lizheng will be given a thank you fee.But if he finds a buyer first, he will be left to his fate.

Pan Lizheng nodded in agreement, knowing that this was the limit, and it was reasonable.

Therefore, when Pan Lizheng saw the two men today, he felt a little excited. Although he saw that they were leading the servants, they were all real peasants. If they really had the strength to buy them, they would definitely be easier to deal with in the future than those cunning squires. many.

That's why he introduced it so enthusiastically.

But Pan Lizheng seemed to have overlooked one thing. Aren't the people who can buy more than 100 mu of land in one go rich?Is it because they are dressed in simple, down-to-earth clothes, looking easy to bully?
Qiangwei lowered her eyebrows, and couldn't help but hum in her heart. Pan Lizheng was obviously reminding them, telling her and her father that the field was in Da'ao Village, and the tenants were all from Da'ao Village.

What a joke, if she can't solve this problem, is she out of her mind?Or let the door be squeezed?Paying money to make contributions?Without gratitude.

If you really want to buy it, those tenants must filter it again, and get out as soon as possible.For those who dare to resist, those who are reckless, if they don't get to the Yamen, Wu Song will take advantage of the dark clouds to cover the moon and greet them well until they are subdued.

Not being harsh on tenants is already her greatest favor!

Following Pan Lizheng to look around the field, Zheng Maocheng was very satisfied. He had planted the fields for most of his life, and the good and bad fields could not be hidden from his eyes.

Pan Li was squinting at Zheng Maocheng's happy face, then stroked his beard and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Qiangwei lowered her head and sneered, isn't that nonsense?Good and bad are all on the face, do you need to ask?

"Well, it's good, but I don't know how much money is needed per mu?" Hearing Lizheng's question, Zheng Maocheng came back to his senses, and he was also a little dissatisfied with his performance in his heart. Who told him that he couldn't help it when he saw a good field? ?
"These are all good paddy fields. Originally they were priced at five taels of silver per mu, but now that the autumn crops have been planted, the five taels won't be worth it. I'm dissatisfied with my little brother. After discussing with the owner, I settled on six taels." One mu of silver, you see?" Pan Lizheng did not hide it, the master's family really said so.

"this?"

Before Zheng Maocheng could speak, Qiangwei pulled his sleeve and shook it, then looked at Pan Lizheng expectantly and asked, "Grandpa Lizheng, if we want to buy, we must buy all of them. This is more than 100 acres, just Can't you give us a lower price? If the price is high, we don't have so much cash in our hands." After Qiangwei said, she stroked the mane on her head in embarrassment, and took the opportunity to hide the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, this old fox!
"This? Little brother, what do you think?" Pan Lizheng looked at Qiangwei with dissatisfaction, thinking to himself, it's just a little girl, and she praised their tutor just now.Adults are discussing things, and children are interrupting, which is really a lack of tutoring.

Seeing his expression, Qiangwei twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly. Could it be that you have a tutor if you lie to me?
Although Pan Lizheng was unhappy, if he was to argue with a child, he was afraid of losing his identity.

"Pan Lizheng is not to blame, the baby is spoiled by the mother-in-law," Zheng Maocheng said apologetically, but he also thought so in his heart. It would be best if it could be cheaper.

"It doesn't matter," Pan Lizheng twitched his lips. They had already carried out his wife. If he got angry again, wouldn't he be worse than a woman.

Zheng Maocheng rubbed his hands and said sincerely: "Our family has been farming for generations, and they are all honest and responsible farmers. We really don't have much money in our hands. Can we borrow Pan Lizheng's good words and discuss with that squire again? I'll wait for the letter at home. How about waiting for Li Zheng's reply?"

Qiangwei laughed, who said that his father is honest, isn't he good at negotiating?Besides, this is not buying a vegetable, everyone has to think about it, isn't it?

"This? Well, I'll ask, but I can't guarantee if it will work." Although Pan Lizheng was dissatisfied, he also knew that he couldn't force it, so he agreed with a compromise.

Zheng Maocheng looked grateful, "Thank you so much, I will be the host after the matter is completed, and I will treat Pan Lizheng to drink two cups."

"Then let's talk about it after it's done." Pan Lizheng stroked his sleeves, as a tacit consent.

"Success, then let's not bother, go home and listen to the letter?" Zheng Maocheng saluted and said goodbye with Qiangwei.

"Well, go back and wait. I asked and answered you."

After walking a few steps, Qiangwei pulled Zheng Maocheng's sleeve, as if thinking of something, "Daddy, why did you go home? Isn't there still a field to see?"

"Where is it? Go home first?" Zheng Maocheng was a little stunned, but fortunately he knew that it was not appropriate to talk too much here, so he turned around and smiled apologetically at Pan Lizheng, pulling Qiangwei to quicken his pace.

At this time, it was Pan Lizheng's turn to be stunned, what's going on?Which other village wants to sell fields?When I wanted to ask, my father and I had already walked away.

Forget it, hurry up and discuss with the owner to see if it can be cheaper, don't wait until you find a buyer, and then lose it.

"Lizheng, did the people who came just now want to buy the fields in our village?" Just as Pan Li was thinking about how to tell the master, an abrupt voice came in.

Pan Lizheng frowned, and looked at the person who came, "I don't know if I will buy it or not. I just came to see it. No, I went to another village to see it."

"Ah? Are you really here to see the fields?" The man curled his lips, looking poor. Is that someone who can afford the land?Lizheng won't be fooled by others, will he?
Ridiculous people are everywhere, I almost have nothing to eat, and even look down on other people's clothes, and don't look at how many patches I have on my body, I can hardly keep my hips.

Pan Lizheng was too lazy to talk to that person, so he turned his head and left in a hurry, it's better to have a good chat with the master.

Besides, after the three of them left the village in a bullock cart, Zheng Maocheng couldn't help but said, "Wei'er, are you not allowed to lie in the future?" He was so embarrassed just now, if he was asked, how would he answer?

"Hehe, Dad, you are worrying too much. Pan Lizheng must have hurriedly consulted with the seller at this time. There are not many who can buy more than 100 mu of land in one go. If you miss this village, there will be no such shop." Angry, she just understands her father's temper, she just said that.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Zheng Maocheng found that he was a bit unable to turn the corner now, did Wei'er do it on purpose?
Qiangwei explained to him, "Pan Lizheng looks like that, it makes people angry. Also, he is reminding us openly and secretly that this is Daao Village, and the tenants are also from this village. He wants us to accommodate the tenants. I heard I'm not happy with it,"

Qiangwei couldn't help laughing when she thought of Pan Lizheng's look of taking it for granted. Seeing that her father was still in the dark, she continued to make a point: "We didn't make a decision today, so he's not happy? Let's wait, we can't wait." If you don't think about it, who has the initiative, and who is showing you a haughty look?"

"Oh? No wonder we have to wait. I was quite anxious at first, so the crux is here." Zheng Maocheng filtered it again, and finally figured it out. Looking at Qiangwei's eyes again, it was a rarity.

"Wei'er, it's thanks to you, or Daddy might have been tricked." After thinking it over, Zheng Maocheng was not in a hurry, and instructed Wu Song to hurry up and stop bumping the girl.
