Chen Chong was not in a hurry to calm down these tenants.
Sometimes, acting too hastily can be counterproductive. Since they want to discuss it, let them do it.
The commotion in the crowd lasted for a while, and Chen Chang always stood with his hands behind his back. Not only the tenants and several stewards, but even Xiao Yu'er, who knew Chen Chong best, could not figure out Chen Chong's pulse.
After a while, the discussion below gradually subsided.
An old tenant who was over fifty years old came forward, raised his head and sang to Chen: "Xiao Langjun, there are so many families, how can you know which one is poor and which one is rich?"
His question represents many people. Every household is very familiar with the situation of their own home, but when so many households are put together, how to judge is indeed a problem.
The old tenant then said: "Young man, I also know that there is a person among us who pretends to be poor, defrauded the Lou family of their land, and then rented it to others. Young Master, we depend on the sky for our food and our lives on the earth."
It’s not easy being a farmer. You have to make the decision for me!”
Chen Chang's eyes lit up, and the eyes of the crowd were indeed sharp.
I was still thinking about how to introduce this topic, but I didn't expect that the old tenant said it first.
It will be easier now.
He smiled and raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, old man. Although the land will be redistributed today, I, Mr. Chen, may not be able to satisfy every household, but the regulations I will talk about next will ensure fairness and justice."
."
After saying that, Chen Chang turned around and shouted: "Come here, bring out all the guys who drew lots!"
Manager Wu and Manager Sun looked at him with confusion on their faces as to what this guy was going to do.
Why were they completely unaware of the drawing of lots?
Although the two of them were servants of the Lou family, the management of Zhuangzi had always been in their hands. They suddenly stepped aside, feeling an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
I turned around and looked behind me, and there was no sign of Manager Liu or Miss.
They looked at each other again, both shaking their heads helplessly.
The scene where the two people were angry at Chen Chang but dared not speak fell in Chen Chang's eyes. As early as in the hall, Lou Qingyi revealed the details of Wu and Sun to him.
Since Chen Chang is the uncle of the Lou family, he naturally does not need to sell the face of these two people.
Finally, Wu Guanshi couldn't bear his temper and stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what do you mean by this? Our land distribution regulations and rosters have been drawn up in advance. Now they suddenly talk about drawing lots. We did it before
Isn’t it all in vain?”
"Steward Wu, I have my own reasons for doing this. I will tell everyone about it later." Chen Chang always smiled, "Every steward has worked hard before, and Miss and I both see it. Don't worry,
The reward is indispensable to you all."
Manager Wu hit a snag. He didn't care about the reward, but about his job.
The second and third bedrooms were not unaware of the land redistribution, but they did not take it seriously. It was just a reshuffling of the cards.
Even if it is redistributed, it is nothing more than the Zhang family planting the Li family's land, and the Li family planting the Liu family's land. As long as these lands are still in their hands.
Moreover, maybe we can take this opportunity to acquire more land.
The responsibility of Manager Wu and Manager Sun is to do everything possible to protect the interests of the second and third households.
After Chen Chang finished speaking cheerfully, he shouted coldly to the servants: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry in and get it!"
Some of these servants looked at the two stewards and saw that the two stewards had helpless expressions on their faces, so they had no choice but to obey. After a while, a group of servants brought out the lottery equipment.
When everyone took a look, there were two black lacquered wooden boxes with red cloth tied on them.
Manager Wu and Manager Sun were very suspicious. Since it was a lottery, how to operate these two sets of equipment?
Is this uncle really a stickman who doesn’t understand anything?
Chen Chang clasped his fists to the tenants who were queuing up and said, "Listen up, everyone. All the redistributed land has been numbered and placed in these two boxes. It has been counted by Manager Wu and Manager Sun before. It is determined that it is
You can’t be wrong. If you don’t trust me, you can ask the two stewards. They have been at Zhuangzi for many years and should be the most trustworthy.”
Manager Wu and Manager Sun looked at each other. We measured and counted the land, but who knows what is going on in these two boxes? Why did you push us brothers to the front desk?
Regardless of what the two of them thought, Chen Changke continued: "When the lot is drawn, you can also send someone to supervise it. If you find that someone is playing tricks during the draw, you can report it to me and I will make the decision for you!"
The tenants below were talking a lot. Drawing lots is naturally the fairest method. Everything depends on luck. Even if you get barren land, you can't blame others.
Some tenants whose land in the original group was not very fertile couldn't help but beam with joy after hearing the news, maybe they could switch to more fertile land.
Some people are already gearing up.
At this moment, Chen Chang said again: "However, our draw today will be divided into two parts..."
Before he finished speaking, the crowd started to make noise behind him.
Chen Chang stood on the stage and could see clearly that another group of people had arrived.
The person who comes is not good.
There were a hundred or so of these people, all carrying hoes and other farm tools, and they looked menacing.
The current leaders are two big men with ferocious faces, and you can tell at a glance that they are not good guys.
Chen Chang sneered in his heart, the real master is indeed here.
No need to guess, these people are those who have not yet expired their lease and have ulterior motives.
The purpose of their coming today is to cause trouble, to disturb the redistribution of land.
In Zhuangzi, Lou Qingyi also heard the noise outside and frowned slightly.
Although the matter has been completely left to Chen Chang, she is always on tenterhooks.
Even if a weak scholar speaks eloquently, how can he frighten those unreasonable people?
Manager Liu was still well prepared. He summoned one of his men and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Not long after, the subordinate led a group of servants and rushed out with sticks.
Manager Liu said to Lou Qingyi: "Miss, don't worry, I will never let my uncle suffer."
Lou Qingyi nodded. She was relatively relieved that Manager Liu had taken care of everything.
Outside Zhuangzi, the tenants also looked back, and someone recognized the two leading men.
"Wu Sanlang, Chen Erlang?"
"It's them!"
"Why don't you tell me that these two people went to Jiangling to do business, and why did they come back suddenly?"
Chen Chang didn't know the names of Wu Sanlang and Chen Erlang, but Manager Wu and Manager Sun knew them well. These two big men were well-known rogues from all over the country. They had an unstinting temper and were ignored by the villagers.<
/p>
It was a coincidence that the two of them came at this time. It was definitely not impulsive, but definitely premeditated.
So, the two stewards cast sympathetic looks at Chen Chang.
How do you end up?
