Chapter 181 The Solution

To change this situation, tenants must first have a sense of stability.Shangguan Fuxue thought so.

Shangguan Fuxue said: "Grandma, I think that to change this situation, we must first change the relationship between us and our tenants."

"Change the relationship between us and the tenants?" The old lady was puzzled, "How should I say it?"

"We instilled planting methods in the tenants, but still did not achieve the desired results. There may be two reasons. One is that the tenants themselves do not understand enough, and the other is that the tenants themselves resist our good intentions or are too lazy to change. The former may be There is still hope, but it is quite labor-intensive. The latter, to sum up, is actually because of the turbulence of life, which makes them have no hope for things that cannot see the results, so they slack off on many things."

"The rice we grow is so good, why can't we see the results if we stand here?" Mrs. Shangguan said disapprovingly.

"Auntie," Shangguan Fuxue nodded slightly, and then continued: "What they can't see is the real value that good food can be exchanged for, because in this turbulent era, there are countless possibilities. For example, watching the seedlings grow today , Tomorrow it will be ruined by the overnight hail. Even if there is a good harvest this year, it can be robbed by unscrupulous officials, businessmen or even bandits, and become worthless."

Mrs. Shangguan froze for a moment, feeling that what she said was indeed reasonable, she couldn't help covering it up with a handkerchief in embarrassment.

"Changing the relationship between us and the tenants is to relieve the tenants of their worries. With no worries, the tenants will be rewarded for their hard work. In this way, the enthusiasm of the tenants will be greatly improved." Shangguan Fuxue said again.

"According to what you said, how to change it?" The second wife of Shangguan also became interested.

"Take back all the land and turn the rented land into a farm. And these tenants become workers in our Shangguan family's farm. The Shangguan family does not collect rent, but sets prices according to the quality of the grain, and buys their grain. In addition, the Shangguan family The tenants will also be given certain rewards based on their hard work. If the harvest is good and the quality is high, the rewards will be high." Seeing the disdain in the eyes of Mrs. Shangguan, as if she had guessed her thoughts, Shangguan Fu Xue went on to say: "The advantage of doing this is that it can prevent those people who love leisure and work hard from abandoning the fertile land. We also don't need to send people to play tricks with scoundrels and collect rents that can't be collected at all."

"Miss San's words are correct." Shangguan's second wife said, "Before there were rent arrears and fertile fields were abandoned, as long as the land is taken back. Why do you have to do something like 'turn the rented land into a farm'?"

"Second Aunt, the way we dealt with rascals in the past, after the field is taken back, will other tenant farmers rush to plow that piece of land?"

of course not!The second wife of Shangguan curled her lips in disbelief.

Shangguan Fuxue said again: "As far as I know, there are not many tenant farmers who are able to rent a few more fields. As a result of taking back that piece of land, most people will be discouraged because of the rent, and that piece of land should eventually be abandoned. Yes. The method I proposed is to increase the sense of responsibility of the tenants, and to allow capable tenants to create greater value. Moreover, with this method, we have enough reasons to let the tenants follow our We need to use our own methods to farm. The issue of profit and loss is our own consideration. They only need to do their jobs well.”

"In that case," Shangguan Ming frowned slightly, "it's no different from a factory." But he still had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and looked thoughtfully at the green seedlings in the field.

Shangguan Jie said at this time: "The method is good. But in this way, a large amount of food will be hoarded in our Shangguan's house. I am afraid that it will be criticized by the court."

Shangguan Ming suddenly understood, and couldn't help saying: "What the third brother said is exactly what I was worried about. You know, the government has too much food, and people will suspect that we are 'hoarding'. Fair. At that time, if the trouble comes to the emperor, the emperor will definitely punish our Shangguan family!"

"Second uncle, don't worry," Shangguan Fuxue gave him a comforting smile, "There is naturally a way to ease this. When you go to court in the past two days, you should speak to the emperor and ask him to implement this method. Every harvest Landlords hand in grain to the national treasury during the season. Not only does it enrich the treasury, but the landowners can also be used as granaries for various places. When there is a disaster, there is no need to worry about nowhere to get relief grain. This will be what the emperor would like to see. "

"Then, what if the landowners who have accumulated a large amount of grain refuse to hand over the grain in a disaster year?" The second wife of Shangguan still felt that there was a loophole in this method, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Shangguan Fuxue glanced at her indiscriminately, and said calmly: "This method focuses on increasing the enthusiasm of the tenant farmers, improving the quality and output of grain. As for the situation that the second aunt said, it already existed. How did you do it? Just do what you want now."

"As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The third lady is good, she's completely upside down." Mrs. Shangguan sighed softly, "However, I also admire the intelligence of the third lady. It's so practical. Analyzing the situation, Miss San is very good at seeing things."

Shangguan Fuxue could tell that although Mrs. Shangguan's words were a bit sour, they were sincere.Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help but smiled, "Auntie, I'm so honored."

"If the property is taken back," Shangguan Miaoyun looked at Shangguan Fuxue in confusion. She thought she was a little clever, but such a thing was a bit complicated and confused her, "Won't the tenant farmers make trouble?"

Shangguan Fuxue was silent for a while, and Shangguan Yun couldn't help but said: "Any kind of change, some people can't accept it for a while. When the time comes, we will understand it with reason and move it with emotion. They have no reason not to accept it. After all, no matter what No matter how you look at it, both sides are beneficial. If someone really wants to take advantage of the dead end, then there is no way. But I think, there will not be many people who will take the dead end. "

"In this case," the old lady looked at Shangguan Fuxue kindly, her face was not only satisfied but also complacent, "then carry out this method according to what Xueer said. Be sure to explain clearly to the tenant farmers. Some crops will not be allowed to grow in vain. When the harvest season comes, our Shangguan family will definitely not miss him."

The middle-aged man listened to Shangguan Fuxue's method, and at the same time, he admired Shangguan Fuxue's method, and at the same time, he also held a sliver of hope in his heart. He was no longer so trembling in front of the old lady, and nodded happily, "Old lady, I will definitely handle things well. .”

The old lady said: "When you are in front of the tenants, you must be kind and friendly. Although our Shangguan family is strong, there is no need to argue with others. Let people think that our Shangguan family is bullying others."

The middle-aged man nodded and made a gesture to the old lady, "Old lady, the field for plowing and mulberry ceremony has been prepared. Please go this way."

The crowd embraced the old lady and walked over with the middle-aged man. Shangguan Miaoyun poked Shangguan Fuxue and said with a light smile, "Third Sister, can you hold the hoe later?"

"Don't underestimate me." Shangguan Fuxue smiled, "What about you?"

Shangguan Miaoyun shrugged, laughed and said, "I don't know."

After walking a few steps, they came to a vegetable bed.It was just a small vegetable bed, the weeds on it had been cleaned up, and there were even traces of loose soil.

Shangguan Fuxue rolled her eyes in her heart, it seems that these people are well prepared!
Just as he was thinking, the middle-aged man handed a small hoe to the old lady, "Old lady, you can start now."

Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help but rolled her eyes again, knowing that this kind of thing was just a formality!

The old lady looked at Shangguan Fuxue with a smile, "Xue'er, the method you proposed just now is very good, and you should take the lead in this plowing ceremony."

Everyone was quite surprised, this is obviously too high a view of her!

"How can this be done?!" Mrs. Shangguan said, "The cultivation of mulberry trees has always been led by the elders, which means 'starting a business'. Even if the third aunt wants to give others a fake hand, it will not be her turn!"

"What's wrong?" The old lady said coldly, "The reason why the elders are required to take the lead in plowing mulberry is to hope that virtuous people can lead the family to start a foundation. As you saw just now, Xueer is virtuous and completely virtuous. The ability leads us to open up the magnificent situation of the Shangguan family. Why not let her take the lead in plowing the mulberry?"

"Third Aunt, the ritual of cultivating mulberry trees is a tradition, and it cannot be abandoned. She should not do such a presumptuous act just because she is capable. This is disrespectful to the ancestors!" Mrs. Shangguan said urgently.

Shangguan Fuxue twitched the corners of her mouth awkwardly, but the question of who digs the soil first, what's there to argue about? !Really!
Shangguan Fuxue smiled decently and said, "Grandma, it is your granddaughter's blessing that you think highly of your granddaughter. What you did just now is what a granddaughter should do. You have already praised me, if you continue to praise me like this, Xueer will be flattered. You should take the lead in cultivating mulberry trees." After Shangguan Fuxue said, she smiled and winked at Mama Su who was helping the old lady.

Su's mother whispered in the old lady's ear: "Old lady, it's a good thing that you value the third lady, but she is still young and difficult to convince the public. If you rely on her so much, it may not be a good thing for her. She will become the target of public criticism .”

The old lady heard that there was something deep in Su's mother's words, she thought for a while, glanced at Mrs. Shangguan, took the small hoe, and digged it twice symbolically.Still stuffing the hoe into Shangguan Fuxue's hand, "Let's go to the head office now."

Shangguan Fuxue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help being a little speechless. She never thought that the old lady would be so childish.Shangguan Fuxue glanced at the face of Mrs. Shangguan, she was also stunned.

"Why?" The old lady still stubbornly stuffed the hoe into her hand, and said almost in an orderly tone: "Take the hoe."
