The two farms bought by Zhulan are adjacent. The journey between the two farms takes half an hour and you can handle the business of the farm in one day.

Zhulan didn't want Zhuangzi's original owner to tell the tenant that Zhuangzi had sold it. When Zhuanglan arrived, the adults of Zhuangzi worked in the fields.

Zhulan brought a lot of candies and pastries. She avoided the woman and found the playful children. Five five or six years old children were playing under the tree.

Zhulan signaled Zhou Laoda and Zhou Laoer not to follow him. There were too many men and the children would be scared. Zhulan only brought Liuya and walked over with candy.

The five children are very reserved. They know everything when they are five or six years old, and they have an impression of bamboo orchid.

Five children were pushing and shoving, and a tallest little boy walked forward timidly, "Is there anything wrong?"

Zhulan smiled, "I like this farm very much, so I want to buy it."

The five children had a panic on their faces and wanted to run home to tell their families. Zhulan comforted her, "Don't worry, I will still rent it out even if I buy the farm, but you need to answer a few questions."

The five children looked at each other, and the older boy clenched his fists in both hands, as if he was cheering himself up, "You said."

Zhulan found a stone to sit down, asked Liuya to share sugar and pastries for several children, waved her hand to signal the children to sit down, and when the children sat down, Zhulan asked, "There is a tenant leader in the Zhulan. Is your tenant leader good to you?"

The children were stunned for a moment, and a few young people were reluctant to speak.

Zhulan smiled, "You said it's okay."

The older boy pursed his lips and was silent for a while before speaking, "If he is not good, would you change him?"

“This is nature.”

The boy made up his mind and said, "The Li family is not good. Every time the Li family helps the owner collect rent, they will collect more grains. The excess grains are received by their own family, and they have to please their family on weekdays. If they don't please him, they will talk badly to the manager. The owner rarely comes to the manager and is responsible for the manager. If the manager takes the benefits of the Li family, his parents dare not speak out and can only endure it."

My father said that even if you tell the owner of the manor, it would be useless. There are many tenants, so they can not farm. The owner of the manor does not lack tenants who rent land.

Zhulan looked at the little boy. In ancient times, five or six years old, it was indeed precocious, but the child was very well conditioned. Judging from the children, the adult education was also good. "Who are there in your family?"

The boy was a little alert, "What do you want to do?"

Zhulan smiled and didn't need to ask anymore. Several women ran over in the distance, probably the mother of these children.

Zhulan stood up and the five children hid behind the women. Zhulan looked at the boy's mother who was talking to him. Although her clothes were old and very clean, the boy was also the cleanest among the five children.

Zhulan said: "I bought this farm. Go home and call all the people in charge of the family. By the way, the fields will still be rented to you, so you don't have to be nervous and afraid."

The women breathed a sigh of relief and just kept renting the land.

Zhulan returned to the yard of the village. She looked in a hurry last time, but this time she looked carefully. After walking around and returning to the front yard, all the tenants on the yard were arrived.

There are 20 tenants in the 200-acre farm, and each of them rents a variety of land, with the most twenty acres and the fewer five acres.

The man in charge of twenty tenants is in his fifties and sixties, and the younger one is in his thirties.

In their thirties, they basically live in separate families and rent land alone.

In ancient times, Zhulan learned a lot about tenants. Some tenants have been through generations. Some were really poor and rented land and became tenants. Some were fleeing.

Zhulan saw that the tenant was standing in front of her. When she was shopping in the house just now, she asked Zhou Laoer and Butler Ding to ask the nearby farmers. She did not believe the children all, and now she has asked clearly.

Zhulan signaled Zhou Laoer to come forward, and the matter was left to Zhou Laoer to handle. Since then, Zhou Laoer is also the one who dealt with the tenants.

Zhou Laoer suppressed his excitement and imitated his father's appearance, "This village has changed its surname, and the land will still be rented to you, but the person in charge will change. In the future, the Wang family is responsible for collecting rent. The Li family, who was in charge in the past, can still rent land. As for why the Li family has changed, I won't explain."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Laoer and gave it to Zhou Laoer, but she did not tell Zhou Laoer how to deal with the Li family. Zhou Laoer was indeed the most damaged one in the family. The entire village was not satisfied with the Li family. The Li family would not live much better if they rented the land. Without a fearful identity, they would definitely return it to the Li family if they were angry before.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Laoer forced the Li family to leave by himself, and he also gained a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

When Li Danhu came, he knew that the new owner had asked him, and he knew that his life was gone. He knew that the farm was going to sell it, so he was ready. He stepped forward and said, "I saved some money in my hand. If I want to buy land and farm in the future, I will not rent it."

Zhou Laoer smiled, "Okay."

Zhou Laoer paused and continued, "Then let's talk about the new rent for 400 cents."

Li Dienhu was stunned, and the other Dienhu cheered happily.

Zhulan saw Zhou Laoer signing the contract again, Zhuangzi had already handled it, and went door to door to read it. Zhulan was quite satisfied with Zhou Laoer's ability to do business.

I went to another farm in the afternoon and ignored Zhulan, and the tenant of the other farm was not changed.

The village and shop were arranged, and Zhou Laoer asked Zhou Laoer to buy a lot of vegetables. The vegetables were mainly chili, pumpkin, and winter melon that could be stored. He bought some fruits, longan, oranges, etc.

There is seafood here in Jinzhou, but it’s all dried seafood, and I bought a lot of bamboo orchids.

There were four more horse-drawn carriages ready to set off, and the carriages were basically full of food.

Zhulan had only four hundred taels of silver left in her hand.

The boat back to the city was not slower, but it was slower and would stop from time to time. Zhulan was a little anxious. She wanted to go home earlier. She missed Zhou Shuren, but she didn't know how Zhou Shuren was at home.

Along the way, she could write a letter back, but she couldn't receive Zhou Shuren's letter. Who told her to rush forward?

At noon, the boat stopped again. Zhou Laoer couldn't stay on the boat anymore. He asked clearly and stopped for two hours before getting off the boat.

Zhulan stood on the deck without getting off the boat and watched the prosperity of the port, because the Chinese New Year was coming and going.

Zhulan suddenly squinted her eyes and leaned forward, frightening Boss Zhou.

Boss Zhou hurriedly stopped him, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
