His tone sounded very close, but the closer he got, the less he paid attention to Feng Yu. Since Feng Shu had always been in charge of Lingzhuang, Wang Lizheng was thinking about the little girl's movie to collect rent, and he didn't understand anything.
, take the money and leave.
"The hard work has paid off, I have nothing to do, just relax." Feng Yu's tone was soft and weak, and she looked like she was easy to bully.
"Our Feng Shui in Zhuangzi is good, and there are beautiful scenery along the way." Wang Lizheng said happily, handing over the account book, Qiuxiang took the account book, Wang Lizheng touched her hand as if unintentionally, Qiuxiang glared at her, Wang Lizheng was shy and innocent
smiled at her.
Zhang Da took a step forward with his sword in his hand. He looked fierce and looked like he was not easy to mess with. Wang Lizheng smiled sarcastically.
Feng Yu took the account book and flipped through it page by page. Wang Li was secretly looking at Feng Yu. This girl from the Feng family is so good-looking. The second girl is beautiful and charming. The three girls are also very beautiful.
Wow, even the girls around him are better looking than the beautiful concubines in his family.
"Girl, this is a converted banknote. Please take a look at it." Wang Li was handing over the banknote while she was flipping through the account book. Chunlu took the banknote and counted it.
Chunlu counted the banknotes and checked the authenticity, "Girl, one thousand taels of silver banknotes."
This is the land rent paid by Lingzhuang in half a year.
After Feng Yu closed the account book, she said calmly, "My sister and I are different. She doesn't pay attention to the spare money. What about me? It's not mine. I don't want any of it. It should be mine, and I can't lose a penny."
Wang Lizheng, are you sure this is half a year's rent?"
"The third girl is joking. This is of course half a year's rent. Every stroke is recorded in the account book. How can I dare to lie?" Wang Lizheng felt that he was honest enough and smiled frankly. He looked at Feng Yu's gentle face with a smile.
Stiff on the face.
He felt a pressure as thin as a razor blade, as if it was already pressed against his throat. How could a little girl with haircut hair have such a frightening power? Wang Lizheng wiped his sweat nervously and thought to himself, three
Did the girl notice something?
The sunshine at noon was getting fiercer. Zhang Da calmly changed his position with his sword in his hand, shielding Feng Yu from the fierce sunlight. Feng Yu said lightly, "How does it make sense to halve the land rent paid by Lingzhuang in the past three years?"
"Third Miss, you are raised in a boudoir and don't know the sufferings of the tenant farmers. This year's paddy field harvest is not good, and the dry fields are also affected. We don't have much food left, and other villages can't pay the rent. We use Lingzhuang to pay the rent."
I can pay a thousand taels, but you don't know how much effort I put in, going door to door to persuade them to tighten their belts and live a better life. We are poor and miserable, it doesn't matter. The land rent must be paid on time, and the second girl never presses for rent.
She is kind-hearted, and we are very grateful. How dare she cheat on the land rent." Wang Lizheng first mocked Feng Yu for not knowing her sufferings, then cried and praised Feng Shu, subtext blaming Feng Yu for being unreasonable and urging rent.
Neither inside nor outside her words did she take Feng Yu seriously.
Feng Yu was lazily leaning on a bench. This was the activity square of Yiling Village. When the villagers saw this fight, they all knew that the Feng family was here to collect rent, so they stood in the distance to watch the fun.
"There was a great harvest in the past two years. One acre of paddy field can produce 6 shi of grain. On average, each household in Yilingzhuang has one acre of good farmland. With a population of more than 100 households, the output is 600 shi. 70% of the grain is turned in. There are about 420 shi. Year after year, there is a shortage of rice.
Expensive, the market price was 1 tael per stone two years ago. For paddy fields alone, the land rent Yilingzhuang had to pay was 420 taels of silver. The paddy fields were harvested twice a year, and the land rent alone was 820 taels of silver. A year ago, there was still a bumper harvest, and rice
The price has risen to 2 taels per stone. The harvest this year is not good, but the price of rice is 5 taels per stone. Wang Lizheng, do you think a land rent of 1,000 taels is appropriate?"
This was only the harvest from the paddy fields. She did not include the dry fields. The dry fields were vast and the harvest was doubled. She made a rough calculation and found that the land rent of Lingzhuang for half a year was at least one thousand taels less.
Wang Lizheng's face changed slightly, and his smile was a little ugly. He didn't expect that a little girl raised in a boudoir would know the price of goods. She wore gold and silver, and her steps were worth a lot of money. She didn't touch Yangchun water with her fingers, so how could she know the price of rice and grain.
"Third Miss, you are so naive." Wang Lizheng said in a loud voice, "Tenant farmers all depend on the weather. The yield of the best paddy field is only 6 dan per acre. But there will always be losses during the harvest. How can we harvest it just right?
6 shi. This year’s harvest is not good, and the dry and paddy fields are the same. You have to calculate it at 6 shi per acre. Where can we rent the extra land to you?”
Feng Yu frowned slightly. Wang Lizheng's voice was so loud that the nearby neighbors heard it. Several young and middle-aged people gathered around to see that Feng Yu wanted to increase the land rent. They all said that the harvest this year was not good and that the land rent was just like this.
Many, and the accounts are all recorded.
"Third Miss, the land rent is only so much. It's very difficult for everyone this year. Taxes are heavy. The court is going to war and has increased taxes by 10%. We really don't have any surplus food."
"You wear gold and silver, and have hordes of slaves, but we have to work early in the morning and come home late at night, in severe cold and scorching heat day and night. Life is so difficult. Why don't you understand us?"
"The ground rent is only so much. If you want more, it's really not available."
Several women were also surrounding us not far away. "They look like gods, but they have a bad heart. They don't understand our sufferings at all."
"The silk and satin she wears, as well as the gold, silver and precious stones, were not offered by Lingzhuang."
Qiuxiang put her hands on her hips and shouted at the strong men who were gradually gathering around her, "What are you doing? Stay away from our girl and don't come any closer."
"If you want to increase land rent, you are forcing us to die!"
"If we can't survive, no one will be able to live well!"
The strong men all had fierce looks on their faces, waving and shouting. More and more villagers gathered together, and gradually hundreds of people, including men, women, old and young, gathered.
Wang Lizheng looked at Feng Yu proudly, hoping to see Feng Yu running away in panic. A little girl had never seen such a battle in the movies, and she would definitely be frightened.
Several of the men brought by Zhang Da stood in a row and blocked the villagers. Zhang Da realized that the situation was out of control and was afraid that Feng Yu was in danger. He leaned over and said, "Girl..."
Feng Yu raised her hand and stopped Zhang Da.
Feng Yu still leaned lazily, letting the villagers shout, and she ate the fruit prepared by Qiuxiang indifferently, calmly and calmly. Wang Lizheng was confused and confused. There were so many people shouting and killing, and the momentum was huge. Wasn't she afraid at all?
The villagers shouted excitedly for a long time, but found that their fists were hitting the cotton, like a farce, and several young people looked at each other.
"Third Miss, the villagers have grievances in their hearts, please forgive me." Wang Lizheng pretended to be the peacemaker, but his tone was scornful, "You can go back after taking the land rent. It is not good to avoid conflicts. We will pay for the land rent in the second half of the year."
Hand it in on time.”
"Why should I forgive you?" Feng Yu wiped her hands and stood up. She always looked lazy and smiling, "We all know how much harvest Yiling Village has in a year and how much rent we should collect.
My parents are far away in Ningzhou. You have deceived my sisters when they are young and deceived the superiors and subordinates. You should have said hello to each other. The harvest is six in a year, and you report three. This is the case in every household. If you have money, we can make money together. The Feng family has a big industry.
You don’t take this harvest lightly, you are secretly stealing it, and you are becoming more and more courageous.”
The villagers all knew what was going on. Several women had guilty consciences, but the middle-aged men were unconvinced. They clamored for just a small amount of land rent. Feng Yu said calmly, "The share between tenants and landlords is usually 28%. Our family signed it."
It’s 37. I’ll give you 10% more. I just hope that you can have a house to protect you from the wind and rain, and good land to live and work in peace and contentment. But if you just live here and treat this land as your home, that’s not appropriate. Every year less
It’s okay to pay the ground rent. My sister doesn’t care about the spare money. Two years ago, when she was doing the accounting, she discovered that Yilingzhuang’s ground rent was underpaid, and she didn’t take it seriously.”
With a smile, she changed the topic and her eyes were as sharp as blades, "This year's grain shortage, you took the opportunity to hoard grain and sell it on consignment at the rice grain store. As far as I know, you bought rice grains in the capital before the harvest. During the grain shortage,
Then he sold it at five times the price, buying and reselling it, it’s amazing!”
This is the reason why Feng Yu checked Yiling Village!
