Moreover, the big man also told them that the annual rent of the wasteland is only 40%. The rent is free in the first year, half of the rent is collected in the second year, and the full rent is collected in the third year. What the big man said surprised everyone, and they all said that it had never been

I have never seen such a low rent.

In fact, this is already Liu Pei's half-percent increase. The reason for the half-percent rent increase is that Liu Pei will need a lot of food in the future, so he has to charge more rent. On the other hand, it is for first-come, first-served.

With the half-percent preferential treatment, he will naturally have a stronger sense of belonging and be willing to obey his leadership. Later, in order to close the gap between the two parties, he will naturally work harder.

After everyone entered the camp, they realized that the camp was actually not small. The first half looked small because it was on the roadside, but the second half was in the woods and covered a large area. There were several simple wooden houses being built.

Someone is building a shed in the woods by connecting the trunks of trees.

The big man said: "I have told you some rules first. You are lucky, you can still choose the location of the tenant farm now. Those of you who come after you will have no choice!"

Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Someone asked: "It shows that your master is so rich and has many fields to choose from! I wonder where the fields are?"

The big man waved his hand and said: "You have to ask the accountant about this. I don't know. Another point is that in the camp, you are not allowed to drink raw water. All water you drink must be boiled. And you are not allowed to defecate in the open.

There must be a designated place. On the left side of the camp is the hut, divided into men and women. Even garbage is not allowed to be thrown away. And..."

The big man told a few rules, and everyone listened attentively. Zhao Youfu's uncle said to everyone: "It's good to have rules! If there are rules, there will be no danger. If we abide by other people's rules, they will keep them safe."

Please keep us safe. Everyone must obey the rules!"

Everyone nodded. The big man also said: "This man is really smart! He caught the key immediately. If there is any theft or the like in this camp, just report it to us and we will take care of it. Mr. Accountant is over there.

In the shed, you can ask yourself."

Everyone saw that there was indeed a small shed on the edge of the woods. Two people like Mr. Bloom were sitting there writing and drawing. After everyone discussed it, one person from each family went to ask about the situation. If everyone went to the sharecropping field together, maybe

We can be assigned to one place. Everyone is already familiar with each other, which can be regarded as a kind of care, so as not to be bullied by the local people.

Because Zhao Youfu had talked with the big man, everyone recommended Zhao Youfu to negotiate with the accountant. Zhao Youfu was not very willing to go. In the past, he had seen the faces of the housekeeper and the accountant when collecting rent every year. But since everyone recommended him

He, he just had to bite the bullet and go.

When they got closer, Zhao Youfu led everyone to the account first

The student bowed his hands and saluted. The accountant was kind, twirling his beard and said, "Fellows, there is no need to be polite. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Zhao Youfu asked: "I just heard a big brother say that you can choose a place for tenant farming. What's going on?"

Mr. Accountant said: "This is not easy! Our boss is very wealthy and has bought a large amount of wasteland to open up wasteland. We have land not only in Shandong, but also on large overseas islands! You who come first can choose to go overseas or stay in Shandong.

If you are lucky, you can still choose. Those who arrive late due to the locust plague will not even have a chance to choose. You have to go wherever the master arranges for you to go."

Everyone was very happy after hearing this, and they all lamented that they were lucky to have left home early. They all clamored to stay in Shandong. Zhao Youfu asked, "Is there anything you can say about this land?"

The accountant gave a general description of the situation, which was exactly the same as what the big man in blue shirt said. The accountant also said that there was a deed, and everyone felt relieved.

Zhao Youfu then asked: "But I don't know where this place is? Our family wants to get together."

Mr. Accountant said: "Don't worry about this now, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Now it depends on whether you want a piece of land for your own home."

Everyone was very excited when they heard this! These families all ran away to escape the disaster. They were all extremely poor families. Why didn't they want to get their own land? Now everyone asked how to buy the land.

The accountant said: "I told you, my boss not only owns land in Shandong, but also has a lot of land on overseas islands. If you are willing to farm overseas, the rent will be the same. But if you farm overseas for five years, the rent will be the same.

Year, that piece of cultivated land will be yours! It won’t cost you a penny! Moreover, there are fewer people overseas, and you will be allocated more fields! Otherwise, you can only be a tenant in Shandong, and you will not have your own family.

It’s a field.”

After hearing this, everyone was undecided. On the one hand, after five years of farming, the fields would become their own, but they would have to stay away from home and go overseas. They didn't know how dangerous overseas was. Is what the accountant said true or false?

?Perhaps when you go overseas, you become a slave, and you can’t earn a living. If you live in Shandong, you can only be a tenant farmer for the rest of your life, with no hope of turning over.

Everyone deliberated for a long time, and finally decided to share the land in Shandong. There is no way, it is an old tradition of the Chinese people. They always feel that people are cheap when they leave their hometown, but it is difficult to leave their homeland!

The accountant didn't say anything, but interrupted their decision, so he wrote the deed in a few strokes. He gave it to them to sign and post it, and said, "This deed is for you. If you don't understand anything, go ask someone."

When Mr. Accountant saw that these people had taken the deed, he then told them the specific address and the name of the village chief.

He then interrogated them and asked them if they had remembered it well. Then he told them that they could go to the local area with the deed to allocate the land at any time, and then sent them away.

Everyone was extremely happy and returned to their families with the deed. The deed was shown to them in the hopeful eyes of the family. For these people, this thin piece of paper was not just a deed, but also a means of survival.

hope.

When these people escaped from their homes, they were full of hesitation, not knowing where to go and what would happen in the future. Unexpectedly, they had successfully settled in the fields just over ten days after leaving home. Although there would still be a period of hardship ahead.

days, but there is finally hope. Moreover, it seems that the person who broke the news did not lie.

The deed was passed around in the hands of the family, and everyone was smiling. Zhao Youfu was also very happy to read the deed to his wife and two sons. The three of them were all smiling, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

When the deed was returned to Zhao Yongfu, he thought of his dead father again, felt sour in his heart, shouted "Dad!" and burst into tears. His mother-in-law and two sons thought of Father Zhao.

He was also crying loudly! His crying didn't matter, it also aroused the sadness of others, and they couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Just now, the big man in blue heard someone crying, thought something had happened, and rushed over. He only saw some people hugging each other and crying. After thinking about it, he understood what they were thinking, so he planned to walk away. But when he saw Zhao Youfu, he

He walked forward and said: "A man, you can't cry even if you have no other way out! You should always stand up for your family! Now that you have a way to survive, why are you crying again?"

Zhao Youfu cried loudly and said: "I think of my father. He shouldn't have committed suicide! He only had a chance to survive in ten days, and he didn't wait!"

The big man sighed and said, "It's my fault too! When I was talking to your father, I was in a hurry to go to another village, so I didn't make my words clear. If I had made it clear, maybe your father would still be there now.

Live! I feel sorry for you!"

Zhao Yongfu wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, "This is not your business, it's because my father is unlucky!"

When the big man saw that Zhao Youfu was holding the deed, he took it and looked at it. After giving it back to Zhao Youfu, he whispered: "Follow me."

Zhao Youfu didn't know why, so he followed the big man and walked a few steps to a remote place. When the big man saw no one around, he said to Zhao Youfu: "Speaking of which, your father's affairs have some interference with me. I feel uneasy, so

I’ll give you some benefits!”

Zhao Youfu listened for a while and thought to himself: What good can this big man do to me? Could it be that he wants to give me some money? Forget it, I have a stubborn temper and can't help others! Moreover, I only succeeded in tenancy under the guidance of others.
