The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 76 The Prestige of Brother (2)
Although Xie Wenjing and the others tried their best to invite their grandfather's family to live in their house, they were still rejected by the grandfather for the same reason as the third uncle said, that they were uncomfortable.

The farmland under this mountainside village is all the property of Fajing Temple, and the farmers here are all tenants without land.They have lost a lot of wheat this year.

After eating weeds and bark for a month, and starving to death a few sick old people and children in the village, the masters of Fajing Temple also had a headache, and their rent could not be collected at all in the first half of the year.

Even the tenants who originally rented a lot of crops were simply unable to rent as much farmland as before. They withdrew a lot of farmland to save labor and went to beg for food, or to be servants or small laborers, and they did not dare to rent such a large amount of farmland. I have earned money from more farmland, and this time I owe a lot of debt to Fajing Temple, so I can only pay it off slowly.

The masters of Fajing Temple are even more anxious. There are so many lands that are empty, and no one rents them. Isn't it in vain?What's more, this year's wheat harvest in the whole south of the Yangtze River has been wiped out, and Fajing Temple has definitely been affected. Right now, even the rice and noodles eaten by the three hundred monks are hard to sustain.

The director of Fajing Temple, Master Yideng, after taking stock of the assets of Fajing Temple, still decided to rent out part of the land at a low price, but let the renters pay the rent in advance to solve the problem of feeding so many monks first.It also solves the problem of the shortage of paddy fields.

"Ku Deng, you can make arrangements to rent out the paddy fields below at a price of five hundred renminbi per mu. You can rent as much as you can. Those paddy fields can't be left unused. Once they are unused, it will be even more difficult to rent out the paddy fields in the future. At this price, you can rent it for one year, remember?"

It's not that Master Yideng doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and eminent monks also have to worry about the problem of food for the gods and monks, and the development of temples.

Master Kudeng is the eminent monk in charge of general affairs of Fajing Temple. Now that Fajing Temple is facing a disaster year, it cannot force those tenants who cannot pay their rent. Lost this year.

When Xie Wenjing heard that the villagers in the mountainside village where her grandfather lived now discussed that Fajing Temple now rents paddy fields for a year at a low price, and the price is only [-] yuan per mu of paddy fields, which is a quarter of previous years, she was moved. .

I have enough grain to plant [-] acres of paddy fields in my hand, and I bought more on purpose in the past.

Now the villages around Fajing Temple have been severely affected by the disaster. How many people have the money to rent such cheap paddy fields for Fajing Temple in advance?

I have some spare money. If I rent a plant, although I don’t know how to farm, I can ask the villagers to help plant it, and it’s okay to pay the wages!In this way, those villagers will also have small laborers to earn money, and they can grow rice by themselves. In the next few years, the price of rice will stabilize at a relatively high price, twenty yuan a catty.

When the previous disasters were serious, the price of rice in Yangzhou and Hangzhou had only risen from two yuan to twenty yuan, and there was still a price but no market.

But the strange thing is that after the prince came, although the price of rice was severely stabilized by using the grain stored in the government office, the rice on the market was not sold much.

And many rice shops were forced to close, and there was no explanation for the rice in the closed rice shops. In short, Xie Wenjing felt that it was strange that even if the rice shops closed down, the rice in the rice shops should still be there.

No matter how hard it is, it is impossible for the old rice stored by the rice merchants to just disappear like this?
In my previous life, I didn't feel strange. After all, with the cheap food from the government, those high-priced rice shops were closed. At that time, it felt like this. Who told them to hold on to the rice and wait for the price to increase?
But in this life, Xie Wenjing felt strange. No matter what, the price of rice has remained stable at a high price of [-] cents in the next few years, and the price of growing grain is even more outrageous. It never happened.

"Grandfather, how much money do you have, you can rent the paddy fields of Fajing Temple, and you won't suffer any losses. There are so many villagers idle, but they don't have the money to rent seeds. After we rent seeds, we can hire them to rent seeds for us. , In this way, it will also give them a chance, and we may also be able to collect some capital for doing business in the future."

There are still three-inch nails on the rotten boat. Although my grandfather's house is dilapidated in an instant, there are still tens of hundreds of taels of silver in my hand. What's more, when my grandfather's house was dilapidated and bought a new home, they borrowed it as a housewarming. Funded some.

Even though my grandfather's family lived in the dean with the fence, like the local tenants, they were well off for real tenants.

Grandfather thought for a while, nodded, and agreed to Xie Wenjing's proposal.

The day before yesterday, my grandfather met someone sent by General Shangguan in private, saying that the rice was about to be delivered to the First Prince, but what is strange is that the rice on the market has decreased rapidly, and many businesses have closed down. , The gap that needs rice is extremely large.

When they learned that the Du family was carrying 200 taels of silver from the Qin family for transferring rice to the front, although the visitors admired the Du family very much, they only took out a total of [-] taels of silver.

Give the Du family a symbolic reassurance, saying that they can only find a way to subsidize the Du family after the eldest prince's war is over and he has won the spoils or the emperor's reward.Pay off the debt for the Du family.

But when exactly, there is no definite number.During this period, the Du family could only solve their own survival problems by themselves.

Therefore, Xie Wenjing's grandfather took out 500 taels of silver and rented and planted most of the farmland of the tenants in the mountainside village of Fajingsi, as well as most of the farmland in the neighboring village.A total of one thousand acres.

And Xie Wenjing also took 2000 taels, and rented and planted tenant farmland in several villages around Fajing Temple, totaling [-] mu.

Several villagers around Fajing Temple were also employed by Xie Wenjing and her grandfather, and their lives improved slightly. Most of their laborers abandoned their fields and went out to find other ways of life.

Fajing Temple took the two thousand and five hundred taels of silver, and actually bought some rations for storage.Because of this, Xie Wenjing got to know the abbot of Fajing Temple, Master Yideng.Also met Master Ku Deng.

"So the benefactor came from Yangzhou to pray for your father?"

Master Ku Deng clasped his hands together: "My Buddha is merciful, and will definitely bless your father. We also have a special longevity lamp in Fajing Temple to worship, write on the birthday of the worshipers, add some incense every year, and keep the worshipers Wealth and peace!"

The corner of Xie Wenjing's mouth twitched violently, this master is asking herself for sesame oil money?My dad is already recovering well?
do not give?It's a bit unreasonable!Besides, renting and planting so many fields of Fajing Temple at a low price this year can earn at least a few thousand taels. Well, let me ask the price?

"Master, I don't know how this longevity lamp is enshrined?" Xie Wenjing tried it out, it was too expensive, so forget it, if it is not expensive, it is fine to offer a longevity lamp to father.
