Chapter 23 The new owner of the farm
Several farmers were originally talking around the farmland, but when they saw him, they all gathered around him, and they wanted to ask for an explanation every word.
Yinxiang's face darkened.
He has grown older in recent years and has become Yongzheng's important minister again. His imperial dynasty is no longer as loose as the Thirteenth Prince who had just split his residence in the past.
Wang Ping is considered to be effective in his mansion, otherwise he would not have chosen Wang Ping to experiment with the new rice seeds.
A few days ago, Wang Ping also gave him a reward, saying that fifty acres of paddy fields were renovated in the village and that they would be able to be used before next month.
You can tell at a glance that this field is probably undergoing renovation.
There was a lot of mud piled up on the ridges of the field, and a canal was dug outside, connecting the small lake in front.
Wang Ping was sweating coldly, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in front of his master: "Everyone, don't be anxious, tell me one by one, what's going on?"
Everyone pushed and shoved each other, and they didn't dare to go up to talk alone.
After all, a middle-aged man stood up and said with a blushing face: "Our farmland was originally planted with sorghum. A few days ago, the village said that it was going to be renovated here. Let's choose whether to cancel the rent or continue to plant it.
.If you continue to plant, you can exempt us from rent for half a year. If you cancel the rent, you will give us some money and let us move away by ourselves.”
Chi Xia felt that there was no big problem, it was like termination of the contract during the contract period, so it was time to give some compensation.
Wang Ping also nodded: "I really agreed with the dealers like this. Haven't all chosen to renew the lease?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man felt a little embarrassed, and seemed to feel that he was making trouble and shrank backwards.
The peasant woman behind him pushed him, but when he saw that he still refused to speak, she patted him and pushed him away and squeezed himself in front: "Yes, that's what he said at that time. But we don't know that you are going to change to rice here.
ah."
When someone started, others followed: "Yes, Manager Wang, it's not that we are asking for trouble. We have never served this crop before and dared not plant it."
Rice is delicate and has higher requirements for soil irrigation.
"Yes, the whole family is eating with their mouths open. If the harvest is not good, everyone will starve to death."
*******
The group understood.
Wang Ping was embarrassed in front of his master and looked bad: "What do you mean? I still said that now, you can also cancel the rent if you don't want to plant it."
Yinxiang's farm is a private property. He receives a lot of rewards every day and there are many filial piety in various places. The rent in the farm was originally not high. In addition, it was agreed that planting this "test field" would be exempted from rent for half a year.
Even if people make trouble, they don’t really want to cancel the rent.
Wang Ping obviously knew this and refused to give in: "Our prince is kind-hearted and the conditions given to you are the best. You can go elsewhere to see which farm has a better life than ours?"
The peasant woman also became shorter: "It's not that we don't plant it. We just rent the fields, can we save some more?"
Wang Ping: "Half a year is not enough? So how much do you want to exempt?"
"You have dug all the fields and changed them. If the harvest is not good this year, we will not have time to level the ground next year, and there is no other land available...at least, it will be exempted for one year."
Yinxiang frowned: "What's the matter with this..."
He originally wanted to say that it would be one year or another, and that was not a small amount of rent. But Chi Xia pulled his sleeve and cut off his words in the middle.
"What's the point of making things difficult for you? Let me give you some advice."
Several housekeepers saw that although she was not very rich in clothes, they followed Wang Ping and thought she was a relative of Wang Ping's family, so they sold her face and asked her to talk about it.
Chi Xia said: "I have been listening for a long time. You are mainly afraid that the harvest in this land will not be good. But just now, Manager Wang said that the rice will be planted in February and in June, and it will be planted in two seasons a year.
If you don’t plant it well, you can just change it back in the second half of the year. It’s not very suitable to have a year’s rent if you open your mouth. Brother, do you think so?"
The middle-aged man who started to speak nodded dumbly and lowered his head a little embarrassedly.
The peasant woman was about to refute, but Chi Xia comforted her again.
"But what you said makes sense, sister-in-law," Chi Xia smiled and said, "No one has ever been born, and they have to support the family."
The peasant woman also shut up and stopped talking.
Chi Xia took a step forward: "This way, you can choose for yourself. First, according to what Manager Wang said, you are exempt from rent for half a year; second, according to the new method, no matter how much the harvest is, the farm will give you the same weight of grain as last year.
Even if the harvest in this field is not as good as last year, I will pay you out of my own pocket.”
After she made a note, she added: "Of course, if the harvest is good, the farm will not treat you badly. The extra part will be distributed to you by one tenth, just treat it as the farm hired you to farm land.
, I have given you dividends. How about it?"
Everyone looked at each other and looked at me and I looked at you.
After all, the peasant woman was pushed out: "Good, okay, but can you count on what you say? This is Prince Yi's farm."
Wang Ping saw Yinxiang nodding secretly and immediately agreed: "Actuate. These two are the prince's friends. In the future, this girl will be the chief manager of our Zhuangzi. What she said is what the prince means."
Chi Xia closed her smile: "It's no point to say it, let's sign and seal it as evidence. This time, you are all satisfied. Whoever takes the lead in causing trouble in the future, don't blame me for not being in love and driving you out of the village.
.”
Everyone felt that although the new manager looked majestic, he was quite considerate and promised that he would "never not."
Chi Xia signaled Wang Ping to prepare new characters for them and ask them to write them.
Yong was standing behind her. Seeing her grasping everyone's mentality in a few words, she beat the group of people who were causing trouble, so she simply regarded herself as just a follower and let her perform.
Seeing that everyone had signed and stamped in an orderly manner, Chi Xia left behind the peasant and peasant wife to start talking.
These people gathered together and only recommended these two people to speak. Obviously, these two people are more prestigious and influential in this area.
Wang Ping also introduced: "This is Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou. The whole family lives in the village. There is a tea shed in the small stall we came here just now, which is opened by Aunt Zhou and his family."
Chi Xia looked at the two old men behind him: "Then let's go have a tea too, and go to your house to have a look?"
Yongzheng nodded, and Yinxiang also made a "please" gesture: "Everyone listens to the girl."
Chi Xiaxin said that the fox pretended to be a tiger's power might be like this. She coughed and led the way.
Uncle Zhou said: "A few uncles don't dislike our chaos in our house."
Aunt Zhou elbowed him and whispered to him: "I don't have any eyesight to see, you can't tell that this family is the girl. The two behind may be her servant accountant or something."
Chi Xia slipped under her feet and almost fell down.
