The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 437 Confrontation (1)
After a year of hard work, you still have to starve to death, it is better to do nothing and starve to death!If you are not tied to the ground, maybe there is still hope!

There are also a few people who are frowning. They have lived on the land of the Leng family for generations. What the Leng family said, they dare not even give a shit, and now they have to negotiate with the master of the Leng family. If Master Leng doesn't rent the land to them, will the whole family starve to death?
Twenty percent, although it is very small, but if you work hard and rent and plant a few more acres, you can still live, right?

As a result, the people in Taiping Village were divided into two factions, one group wanted to negotiate with Leng Batian, the other group was silent and let people be slaughtered, and some people with flexible heads went to Cao Dabi to talk to Huanglian Just make do with it, and ask the Hao family if they still need someone!
Leng Ping is planning the toad pond these days. In ancient times, digging a hole to divert water was a big deal. Leng Ping wants to build a big pond with a 1.5-meter-high wall around it. I'm afraid it won't take a month or two. , can't do it.

"Miss, something serious happened!" Zhu Tao hurried in from the outside and hurried into Leng Ping's room.

"You're in a hurry, you can't learn to be steady like Huai Xia!" Leng Ping was racking her brains on the blueprint, and she couldn't help frowning when she heard Zhu Tao's shout.

Zhu Tao stuck out her tongue, and hurried forward and said, "Miss, the Elder Master wants to increase the villagers' rent by [-]%, and now the villagers are all saying that they are going to negotiate with the Elder Master!"

Leng Ping's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhu Tao hurriedly said: "Of course I'm sure. At noon, the village chief uncle led people to discuss for a long time, and now he may have brought people to Leng Mansion!"

Leng Ping slapped her thigh and quickly got off the kang, "Taozi, hurry up and put up a notice that we will recruit workers for a period of one month, and the salary will be five hundred yuan. !"

Leng Ping was worried that she would not have the chance to buy the land in Taiping Village, but now the opportunity came to her door herself!
Leng Mansion, Leng Batian was dressed in silk brocade clothes, holding a white porcelain teapot in his hand, sitting in the shade of the yard, behind him were two young maids in green clothes, watching with fans impatiently. There were more than a dozen shirtless and barefoot men in the yard.

"Why, are you here to fight?" Leng Batian looked around, took a sip of tea slowly, and asked.

Yu Xiuman hurried forward and said: "Master Leng, we are here to talk to you, how can we come to fight!"

"Talk? Talk about what?" Leng Batian frowned impatiently.

"That's right, Master Leng, our village has been renting your land for so many years, and it has always been [-]% of the rent. It has been the same rule since we hit the old man, but now, Master Leng, you want to increase the rent, and every Adding so much, this..." The old kidnapper also stepped forward and said.

"The land is mine, I can take as much as I want, if you don't think you can plant it, you don't have to plant it!" Leng Batian said lightly.

The old kidnapper was stunned, his face turned red because of Leng Batian's words, but there was nothing he could do, now they are lambs on the cutting board, ready to be slaughtered!

Yu Xiuman suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Master Leng, you can't say that. At the beginning, the old man promised us not to increase the rent, so we settled here and took root. Now you don't keep your promise, and you can increase the rent as soon as you say it. What should we do?"

"Yeah yeah!" several people shouted.

"The old man is dead, why do you still mention him? Now I am the master of the house! I can tell you that in the future, the rent will be [-]%, and it will not be worth a penny. If you want to plant, plant it. If you don't plant a lot People are waiting!" Leng Batian said arrogantly.

Yu Xiuman stepped forward and said, "Master Leng, you want us to live, don't you? Our village rents out Master Leng's dozens of acres of land. If we don't plant any more, it may not be easy for Master Leng to rent out these lands." Right? Now we are here to discuss with Master Leng, Master Leng showed mercy and lowered the rent, as long as we can live, we will continue to rent and grow the land of Master Leng's family!"

Everyone agreed, and all looked at Leng Batian eagerly.

Leng Batian sneered and said: "This year, the master of the rent has fixed the price increase, and now Ye'er is going to get married, let this be your congratulatory gift to Ye'er!"

When everyone heard this, they were all indignant. Leng Ye got married, so they must be allowed to live, right?Congratulations?This gift is too precious!
Leng Ye watched all this through the open window in the room, with sarcasm on his lips.

He looked down on Leng Batian and the villagers of Taiping Village!

When the village name and Leng Batian were in a stalemate, a small black and thin man ran in and shouted loudly: "Good news, good news, the Hao family is hiring workers. The salary is [-] Wen for a short period of one month. If you can stay for a long time, the wages will be two taels of silver a year!"

As soon as everyone heard it, it was like a frying pan was blown up.

Everyone has seen Cao Dazuo's peaceful and beautiful life. If he could stay in Hao's house and do a long-term job, why would he need to be so cold and domineering?Even if you can't do long-term work, with five hundred cash a month, you can live for half a year!
In an instant, all the people ran out, Gudeng Gudeng ran towards the village, some ran slowly, anxious in their hearts, and even shouted, "Wait for me, wait for me!"

Yu Xiuman also ran out, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Leng Batian had already petrified in the billowing dust. After a long time, he spat out the dirt in his mouth and asked, "What happened just now? What did the little man shout for?"

Steward Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It is said that the Hao family has recruited people to work again, and the salary is [-] Wen a month. Those people have all gone to apply for the job!"

Leng Batian slapped the back of the chair fiercely and stood up, and said coldly: "It's the Hao family again, and it's Leng Ping again?"

Butler Wu nodded quickly.

Hao Ren won the first prize last year, and Leng Ye was just a fellow Jinshi. Leng Batian's arrogance was immediately suppressed. He didn't go out for a few days, and the grudge with Leng Ping also subsided for a while. Now he wants to He wanted to increase the rent and get back the money he spent for the official Leng Ye, but he didn't expect that the Hao family was stumbling him again!

"Go, take a look!" Leng Batian said bitterly, got up, limp a little while walking, swayed his body and went out the door wheezing.

Leng Ye heard in the room that the Hao family had meddled in again, so he frowned all of a sudden, thought for a while, and went out with the servant.

At this moment, the front of Hao's house was completely surrounded. Those who went to Leng's village and did not come back, their family members took up their seats. No matter what, they must go to Hao's house to work.

Leng Ping asked Mu Wu to move a chair and a stool out and sit at the gate to register the applicants.
