The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 438 Confrontation (2)
"Young Mistress, I'm from Yang Family Village, should I be from Yang Family Village?" Someone shouted loudly.

Leng Ping raised her eyes and said with a smile: "Not this time, let's do it next time!"

The man made an annoyed sound.

Someone squeezed the man and said, "We don't even need people from our own village, we need people from your village!"

The man left dejectedly.

Seeing the dejected look of that man, the people in Taiping Village suddenly felt a sense of pride again.For a long time, Taiping Village has been the most despised village, because the ancestors of Taiping Village are all migrant households from various places. Few people have their own land, and almost all of them rent land from Leng's family. People in Taiping Village When they met people from Lengjia Village, they didn't even dare to raise their heads, but now, the people of Taiping Village have a sense of pride again, just like Hao Renzhong felt when he knew the champion and number one scholar.

"Listen well, everyone. This time it's a relatively heavy physical task. Digging holes and building walls, regardless of food, is five hundred. If you are a skilled mason, you can give an extra one hundred. Anyone who is interested can sign up. We Choose to hire, try to do as much as possible, but we will consider all those who sign up!" Leng Ping said loudly.

When everyone heard this, they cheered and went to sign up.

Leng Ping hired all those who signed up, except the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and for those who could not make great efforts, Leng Ping also selected two to be in charge of boiling water and serving tea.

As soon as the list was announced, everyone's suspenseful hearts fell. After all, in this reality where food and clothing cannot be solved, half a year can be counted as half a year!

Yu Xiuman looked at this situation, thought about the anger he had just suffered at Leng's house, stepped forward suddenly, stood in front of Leng Ping and said: "Everyone wait, listen to me first, let's go to Leng's house to talk to you just now. Master Leng's negotiation, everyone has seen the specific situation, master Leng is not willing to give up a single step, he is trying to force us to death! Now we have the Hao family to do this job, I think so, this The wheat will be harvested in a few days. After harvesting, we will pour out the land. We won’t plant his Leng’s land anymore. I don’t believe it. If we don’t plant it, how many people are willing to rent [-]% of it? In the ground! Anyway, with the job of the Hao family, we won’t starve to death for half a year, don’t you think so?”

Everyone has this idea in their hearts, as long as there is a way out, they don't want to be oppressed by the Leng family, but...

"Village Chief, we are thinking, but it will only take a month, what will we do after this month?" The old kidnapper sighed.

"Yes, if we can become long-term workers of the Hao family, we naturally don't want to be oppressed by the Leng family anymore. If we can't, we still have to rely on land for food!" Someone echoed.

Yu Xiuman looked at Leng Ping.

Leng Ping said: "Don't worry everyone, this time I plan to build a toad pond to raise toads, and I will need at least ten people to take care of them in the future. As long as you have the courage and are not afraid, I will give priority to hiring!"

When everyone heard it, they all said: "What's so scary about that toad, it's not like I haven't seen it before!"

"That's right, it's not Miss Jiao from the city. We all grew up in the village. Who didn't play with toads when we were young?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Everyone talked one after another.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ping said, "In this case, everyone can come to work after the wheat harvest!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another. No matter what, it was Leng Ping who gave everyone a chance to breathe during this most difficult time. Although they are not sure what will happen in the future, everyone is very grateful to her at this moment.

Leng Batian led Butler Wu to listen from a distance, gritted his teeth in hatred, and immediately asked Old Wu to move away from the crowd, stepped forward and asked: "Leng Ping, are you deliberately against this master? You usually don't call What do you mean by recruiting people when my master wants to raise the rent?"

Everyone looked at Leng Batian, although they felt righteous indignation, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Leng Ping stood up slowly and looked at Leng Batian with a smile, "What does my family recruit me have to do with you? This is all voluntary, and I didn't force anyone?"

Leng Batian looked at everyone annoyed, and said coldly: "Listen well, if you are working for the Hao family today, don't rent the land of my Leng family. You can't rent it this year, and you can't rent it for the rest of your life." !"

When everyone heard it, they glanced at each other, and their hearts were raised all of a sudden.

Compared with the land that the ancestors have planted for so many years, the work of the Hao family is only for a short time after all. Who knows what will happen in the future?But because the Hao family offended Leng Batian...but when they thought of the [-]% rent, everyone really couldn't accept it—the rent was too high!

Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they couldn't make a decision for a while.

Leng Batian was a little annoyed. He thought that as long as he shouted out, everyone would definitely stand by his side. After all, he was the bread and butter of the people in Taiping Village. But now, everyone was just silent, standing blankly one by one, He didn't express his opinion immediately like before.

"What do you mean? You don't want to plant my land, do you?" Leng Batian asked everyone.

Someone stood up hesitantly. It was the honest man in the village. Like the old kidnapper, the whole family lived by renting land from the Leng family. There were three children in the family. Yes, he felt that working for the Hao family could make this kind of money right now, but what about a month later?What to do after a month?

"My lord, I will plant your land!" Da Honest said in a low voice.

Yu Xiuman said angrily: "To be honest, you deserve to be poor all your life and have no bones at all!"

Da honest lowered his head, shrunk his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "I'm just useless, I don't want my child to starve to death!"

The honest words made several people stand up again.

If it doesn't work, please work harder, at least you still have a chance to survive!
The old kidnapper was also a little hesitant. He glanced at Yu Xiuman and then at Leng Ping. Slowly, just as he was about to move his legs, he heard Leng Ping say loudly: "Fellow folks, I will not force you, I am willing to stay. Those who work will stay, I can't promise you anything now, I can only say that I will never treat you badly, and if you don't want to, I will never force it!"

Yu Xiuman resolutely said: "Hao Ren's family, I will follow you. Our village has been poor for generations, and now it is even more difficult to survive. We must have something to look forward to!"

The old kidnapper thought for a while, but he didn't move his legs, and stood beside Yu Xiuman as usual.

Under the leadership of Yu Xiuman, a few people expressed their willingness to follow Leng Ping, but most of the rest were hesitant.

"It's reversed, it's really reversed, old Wu, take a quick look, write down all these rebels, and take back the fields tomorrow, hmph, you don't rent, some people rent!" Leng Batian pointed at something unclear Said the part of the people standing in Leng's house.
