Chen Chong's operation made the Deng family and his son burst into tears of gratitude. They knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Chong again to thank him.
With fifteen acres of medium-sized paddy fields, an old tenant's family can produce more than twenty kilograms of more rice every year.
Even if the eldest brother and the second eldest brother add four grandsons to the couple, they will have enough food in the future.
The old tenant thought of his grandsons surrounding his knees, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
Although Chen Chang is not used to being kneeled down, the etiquette of this era is such that it is not good to be too demanding.
After a while, the old man got up from the ground, with blood marks on his forehead.
Chen Chang felt sour in his heart. In fact, the requirements of these people were very simple. As long as there was no war, the family could have a shelter from the wind and rain, have land to farm, and not go hungry.
Chen Chang said to the old tenant: "Old man, I can rent you all these fifteen acres of land, but I have a condition."
The old tenant said without hesitation: "Please tell me, young man. As long as the young man can do it, I will definitely do it."
"I just said that I am an expert in farming. I hope you will not only care about your own land, but also teach your neighbors some farming experience in your spare time."
"However, it is very possible to travel back and forth. Of course, you have worked hard from it, and I can't short-change your benefits."
The old tenant hurriedly waved his hand: "Xiao Langjun, this matter is nothing to the little old man. The little old man's body is still strong in recent years. It doesn't matter if he runs around."
The steward also echoed: "Uncle, Old Man Deng is always willing to help others, and he never cares about remuneration."
Deng Dalang said: "Yes, my father has always told us that when people are in trouble, we can help them."
Chen Chang could not help but nod his head. It seemed that he had found the right person for Old Man Deng and his family.
"Old man, I said I won't let you work in vain, do you think this is okay?"
"Those tenants you have pointed out, if the next year's harvest increases compared to the previous year, then this increase can be used to offset your rent. If all the rent is paid off, then the remaining grain will be used.
You, the Deng family, can choose one out of a hundred."
"What do you think?"
The Deng family and his son were once again surprised. The annual rent of fifteen or six dan was waived, which was already a great thing.
The Lou family's land is nearly 900 acres. If the yield per mu is increased by one dou, then the 900 acres will be 90 shi, which means that the Deng family can get nearly 1 shi of rice.
The yield per mu has only increased by one bushel. This is the most conservative estimate. Old man Deng believes that if these people all farm according to their own methods, the yield per mu can at least increase by three to four bushels. In other words, the Deng family can get another three or four bushels for nothing.
Shimi.
This is a great thing!
It’s just like dreaming, good dreams come one after another!
Without waiting for the Deng family and his son to express their stance, Chen Chang added: "Every month, I have to trouble the old man to teach the nearby villagers how to farm in Zhuangzi. Only farmers who attend the lecture are qualified to receive your guidance. In these circumstances, Zhuangzi said
It will be recorded, and at the end of the year, when each tenant pays their rent, the benefits to the elderly will also be settled uniformly."
"At that time, the elderly can either ask for food directly or convert it into money and silk according to the current price."
"In addition, the old man also gets a salary for teaching the villagers. How about three hundred cash each time?"
In future generations, this will be a visiting professor.
After hearing this, the old tenant felt dizzy and stupid. How can he still get money?
Just talk and you can get more than three times a year.
He didn't bother his son this time, and gave his thigh a hard squeeze, grinning in pain.
The steward looked on with envy.
The Deng family and his son knelt down and kowtowed again.
Chen sang: "Old man, when the time comes to teach the folks, can't you hide it?"
The old tenant clapped his chest and swore: "Xiao Langjun, I am a real person, not a man who makes tricks. As long as I know about it, I will never hide it. Is that land good?"
, you go and take a look, ask around and ask around, you can’t hide it from anyone at all. No matter how stupid you are, how can you dare to play tricks on this?"
Chen Chang said to the steward on the side: "When the old man was teaching the villagers, Zhuangzi sent someone to record his content, so that in the future it could be passed on to more people to learn."
The steward said flatteringly: "My uncle has a kind heart, he really has the heart of a Bodhisattva."
"The Deng family will remember Xiao Langjun's great kindness and virtue from generation to generation. When the young man returns home, he will build an immortal memorial arch for Xiao Lang Jun."
"Father, there is also the eldest lady!"
"Yes, yes, yes, there is also the eldest lady. Let God bless my uncle and eldest lady to live a long life and have many children and blessings!"
Chen Chang smiled: "Okay, let's forget about these. If you use all your skills, you will naturally have a good life. There is no need to thank me."
The next step is to sign.
Chen Chang witnessed this exciting scene with his own eyes.
When the old tenant put his bright red fingerprint on the contract, he burst into tears, and the father and son knelt down again to express their gratitude.
The two went back happily. The housekeeper looked at their backs and said, "I don't know how many lifetimes the Deng family and his son had to cultivate before they could meet a living Bodhisattva like my uncle."
Chen sang: "Okay, don't say any compliments. I think you are an honest person. What's your surname?"
"Little Zhang Xing! Just wait for my uncle's orders!"
"Well, from now on, the rewards and salary of the old man from the Deng family will be left to you."
The steward hurriedly said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will naturally handle it plainly."
The two of them were chatting and walking back. At this time, most of the tenants had signed the contract, and the stewards and accountants were doing the final finishing work.
When the remaining ten tenants saw Chen Chang, they were naturally very grateful.
Five of them were waiting here specifically to express their gratitude to Chen Chang.
Chen Chang also introduced to them the monthly lectures at Zhuangzi. Naturally, the tenants had heard of Old Man Deng and expressed their willingness to come.
Because the grove here is some distance away from Zhuangzi, the information here did not reach Zhuangzi in time.
Geng Ming and others are still in the dark.
Of course, it is not possible to be close to Chen Chang. Thanks to Liu Da's impeccable work, the people who draw lots here and the people guarding the door of Zhuangzi are all trustworthy.
Just as Chen Chang and Manager Zhang were about to walk into the village, a servant rushed over.
Although Chen Chang knew that Geng Ming and the others would definitely not be able to sit still, he still frowned slightly after the servant was sweating profusely.
"My aunt, Geng Ming and others have already caused trouble in the village. The chief steward asked my aunt to go back and take charge of the overall situation."
Chen Chang nodded, what should come will always come, and what should be faced will always be faced!
This matter must be solved perfectly, which can be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace of Lou Qingyi and Shui Ling'er.
