Chapter 308 Changes overnight
It was Xiao Yunfei's voice
Zuo Shaoyang was ecstatic and almost turned around and got up. He was just seeing Xiao Yunfei stretching out his big and lazy waist and looking at him in a sleepy way. (Qihang Novel~ Read novels online)
Zuo Shaoyang smiled happily: "Brother Xiao, you... how are you? Is it okay?"
"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Xiao Yunfei said happily.
Zuo Shaoyang looked around and lowered his voice and said, "How is it?"
"You just go to the yamen to check it out, don't you know? I'm too lazy to tell you, and I have to go back and make up for my sleepiness." As he said that, he stretched out his big waist and turned around and entered Qingfeng Temple.
"Wait, brother, brother? Where are you?"
After turning around, Xiao Yunfei's figure was gone in the Qingfeng Temple compound, as if his appearance just now was just a gust of breeze.
It was true that the dragon saw the head but not the tail. Zuo Shaoyang sighed, turned around and left the temple gate, and came to the prefecture government office.
Along the way, I saw a large number of soldiers transporting bodies, cleaning the streets, and cleaning up garbage. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy. It seemed that Feng Li and Xue Wanche were still very thorough in implementing the orders of General Li Yuanjing. They couldn't help but clean up the bodies and also clean up the garbage in the city. They were very happy.
When he arrived at the yamen, there were many people gathered here, most of whom were hungry people with hungry faces, and were happily pointing at the same time. Below the notice, an old clerk was reading the contents of the notice over and over again without any expression.
Zuo Shaoyang squeezed in and took a look. The notice said that if you sign a contract with the landlord for renting a land, you can go to the yamen to credit the grain by credit. Each tenant can be credited with a maximum limit of ten dou of grain based on the contract. The interest is calculated at one cent of profit, that is, eleven dou will be returned after the autumn. In addition, from today on, the government will sell grain for 1,500 dou per bull. Each person will purchase two dou. Once the purchaser is verified, he will be whipped in the street for fifty bits, shackles will be displayed for one month, and the money will be confiscated.
Zuo Shaoyang was really overjoyed. It was estimated that this notice would allow the vast majority of hungry people to stay. Seeing that the hungry people watching were also excited, talking and laughing and pointing at them.
The ancients were very concerned about leaving their hometowns and were absolutely unwilling to do it unless they had to. Therefore, the punishment of exile thousands of miles away in ancient times was a punishment second only to the death penalty. Not only was the punishment of exiling to a remote and smoky place, living a hard life of being a cattle and a horse, but also suffering from mental pain of leaving their hometowns and staying away from their relatives. Now the court can lend grain, although it has a little profit, it is already very small, which is cheaper than private lending.
Rich families are also very happy. A dou of rice is 1,500 cigarettes, which is four times higher than before the war, but it is much cheaper than the one dou of four cigarettes announced by the court the previous day, and can be afforded by well-off families. Most people can also grit their teeth and buy it and add wild vegetables to eat it together.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunfei really had this ability. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy and went to the food selling site in the yamen. Many people had lined up to buy food. These were all residents in the city and there were some money at home. After walking for a long time, he happily returned to the pharmacy.
From a distance, I saw a lot of people surrounding the pharmacy shop, yelling. On the steps, Zuo Gui's father and Liang were so anxious that they were sweating. They looked around. When they saw Zuo Shaoyang, they were immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Zhong'er, come quickly, we are waiting for you."
When he heard that the famous military support model of the young master of Guizhitang came back, the people around him surrounded him. A thin middle-aged man said, "Zuo Kaimo, we are here to rent your land. Didn't you post a notice to rent yesterday? To be honest, we just wanted to come yesterday. Your family gave me medicine porridge, which saved the lives of many of us. This kind of kindness must be repaid. However, the court did not say that we could make grain at credit. We had no food and could not always rely on your family to support us. We could only escape famine and think about repaying this kindness in the future. Now the court has credited grain, and we can stay. The original landlord asked us to go back to farm, but we didn't agree, so we wanted to repay our kindness, so we came to your house to rent. My family of three, my two sons and I are both strong laborers and can rent fifteen acres."
"Our family has five strong laborers, and we rent twenty acres." A young man next to him said with gratitude: "Our family survives by the porridge given by your medicine shop. This kind of kindness is repayable."
"There are also me and we are the ones who rented six acres." Another young man bowed, "We also took your porridge to save our lives."
"There are also our family, my family has ten acres."
"My family rents four acres"
...
These people were clamoring to repay their kindness and rent the land of the Zuo family. Zuo Shaoyang was both happy and worried. Some people rented the land, so there was no need to worry. However, now so many people wanted to rent the land. Who did they rent it to? Is there anyone who cheated the tenant to rent a customs defrauded the food? It was really hard to confirm for a moment. No wonder the second elder was anxious and said to his father Zuo Gui: "Or, go and call my brother-in-law. He is not a yamen's money and valley clerk, so he should know what to do."
It really reminded the person in the dream, Zuo Guixi said, "Yes, go quickly."
Miao Peilan had sent food to Einix's house last time and immediately said, "I'll go." After that, he ran away.
When Zuo Shaoyang's family posted a notice to rent, the 40 acres of Mr. Qiao's family had not been given, so they only rented 130 acres. Just so, the four brothers of the Li family wanted to rent 20 acres. They were originally going to use modern agricultural knowledge to plant 50 acres with Miao Peilan. Now someone rented them, so they don't have to plant so much. Because there are still ten acres of barren slopes to plant medicinal materials, which also requires cultivation, so they decided to rent 130 acres of external ones, and 20 acres of the remaining 40 acres to rent for the Li family. The other 20 acres of medicinal slopes and mine Peilan were cultivated in the new way, and a barren slope that had not been cultivated, Miao Peilan was busy.
So, Zuo Shaoyang said to everyone loudly: "Dating with you, thank you for helping us rent our land. However, the land rented by our family is only 130 acres, which may not be enough for everyone present to rent. I can only choose some people from them. If you can't choose, I can only say sorry."
The old man first said, "It's okay, Zuo Kaimo, Hezhou has many land, few people, as long as you are willing to farm, there are no land that cannot be rented, everyone comes to your house, just want to repay a favor. Just choose it. But my family has three strong laborers and fifteen acres of land, so you have to rent it to me. I don't want to go to other landlords. Your family is kind and righteous, and you feel comfortable farming with your family."
"Yes, you are so kind, rent your land," another man also said.
"Whether you plant this place, you have to choose a good boss. We will be honest and honest."
"I just recognize you as a boss."
...
Zuo Shaoyang said loudly: "Thank you for your blind date, because we don't know how to farm, but my brother-in-law is a scholar of Qiangu, the surname is Hou. He will come later..."
The middle-aged man said, "I know Hou Qiangu, the county government office."
"Do you know my brother-in-law?"
"Of course, he often goes to various villages to collect land taxes, who doesn't know him?"
Everyone else nodded.
Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed. When he saw these people talking about his brother-in-law Hou Pu, he was very kind. It seemed that his brother-in-law was quite popular among farmers.
As they were talking, not long after, Hou Pu and Huixiang arrived. They heard that many people came to rent land, and the two were surprised and happy. Now the tenants are in high demand. Other landlords are worried about where to find tenants to cultivate the land, but they are worried about too many tenants asking for rent, and they don’t know which one to choose. It’s a sharp contrast.
When they saw Hou Pu coming, these people knew that he was here to help make an idea, so they all gathered around and talked in a slight manner.
These farmers are almost all farmers near Hezhou City. Hou Pu is indeed very familiar with these farmers. He quickly determined that the fifteen original families were from villages near the fields, and the family was not burdened by heavy families and honest people. He rented the 130 acres of land. He immediately signed a document contract and designated the four places for tenants to rent the land.
Zuo Shaoyang left for the Li brothers and himself for forty acres of land together, so that they could help each other.
Although the remaining people did not rent the land, they still expressed their gratitude to the Zuo family, saying that if there is anything they need to help in the future, they will spare no effort to help. Zuo Gui's family is busy expressing their gratitude.
After everyone left, the Zuo family was very happy. They didn't expect that the thing that had been a headache for a while is solved in one fell swoop
Zuo Shaoyang knew that all this was because Xiao Yunfei "convinced" Ouyang governor to change his mind last night, so he must thank him well. - What method did he use to make Ouyang governor change his mind overnight? Zuo Shaoyang was very curious.
Miao Peilan had a lifelong agreement with Zuo Shaoyang, but he only passed by after he got married. On the surface, the two families had already agreed to hire Miao Peilan to farm and her mother to take care of the patients, so the Zuo family was responsible for their family's food and drink. In their hearts, they were already a family, so Miao Peilan did not reunite with Zuo Shaoyang.
Li Dazhuang's family signed a contract for renting a leasing contract with the Zuo family, and rented twenty acres of land. Aunt Li was old and was unable to farm after suffering a stroke, so Liang hired her to look at the back garden gate in the Qu family's old house, and usually clean the back garden. She was responsible for food and accommodation, and paid 300 yuan a month. Aunt Li's family was very happy and grateful, so she agreed immediately and moved into the old house of the Qu family, who was responsible for cooking the back garden. Aunt Long was still in charge of the front door of the old house. The maid Xiaocao was responsible for the small courtyard in the west where Zuo Gui and his wife lived. The one who stayed at the door of the shop was Ding Xiaosan.
