What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

Both tenants looked guilty and coy.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled lightly, "It's okay, let's talk about the situation, why the harvest is not good, how much was the harvest in previous years, and how much is the harvest this year?"

Cheng Dianhu took out a pamphlet, "I'm stupid and have a bad memory, so I can't explain clearly. I wrote it down in a notebook. Master, please read it over and write it in a simple way. You are a smart person, and you can understand it at a glance." clear."

Jiang Lianzhu took a look, it was really easy.

What kind of crops are planted in which field every year, when they are planted, when they are harvested, how much they cost, and how many catties of grain they earn...

There are no fancy words, and the writing is only a few words, which are still crooked.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "This year, we harvested less than half of the grain this year. It's not only rice, but also winter wheat. You handed over the winter wheat to the previous owner. Now you're handing over the rice to me, right?"

"Yes, my master. Our family's fields are all good fields. We only grow rice and winter wheat. They are also the most expensive two kinds of crops. Our Cheng family is also the best at growing these two crops and has experience. If the weather is good and the weather is good, our Cheng family can grow two stones of rice per acre of fertile land, but this year is really not smooth, and there are many refugees and refugees, there are only so many people who steal food..." Cheng Tenhu said and lowered his head.

Jiang Lianzhu calculated that one stone is equivalent to more than 100 catties, and two stones is more than 200 catties.

The grain output in ancient times was really low.

This kind of field expert can grow two stones of grain only when the weather is favorable.

Calculated by one stone this year, she has 20 mu of land, and this year's output is only more than 2000 stones, which means a total of more than 1000 catties of rice. Some were stolen by refugees, only more than [-] catties, and some will be reserved for next year's seeds. Yes, not much left.

Jiang Lianzhu asked, "Well, how did your former employer calculate the rent?"

Cheng Dianhu replied, "In the past, if the weather was good and the yield per mu was two shale, it would be split in half, that is, we would keep half and the owner half. If the harvest was not good, the owner would keep a thousand catties of grain as a guarantee..."

The more you speak, the lower your voice becomes.

Jiang Lianzhu looked at the ox cart outside, and as expected, it should be a thousand catties of grain.

The family of Cheng Tianhu must have planted a loneliness this year!

It is no wonder that if the harvest is not good, the tenants will starve to death. If it is even worse, the tenants will have to work for nothing for a year, and they will have to pay supplementary grain to the owner.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "It's better to rent half and half. Just give me a few hundred catties. Your family has to live, and it's not easy. Plant well next year. Only when you are full will you have the strength to plant a good field. Next year, work harder."

Cheng Dianhu couldn't believe it, he was ready to go hungry this year, and he was even ready to be fired by Jiang Lianzhu...

"Boss, you... Seriously?"

"Well, if you think it's not enough to eat, you can bring it up, and we can discuss it again."

Cheng Dianhu's eyes were moist.

"Boss, you are really a great benefactor of our family. Our Cheng family has remembered your great kindness and virtue. We must plant it well! These are enough, enough to eat, but let the boss down. Twenty acres of fertile land Handing it over to our family did not give you a good harvest..."

"It's okay, there are no accidents. This year's harvest is not good, and people will be fine if they don't starve to death." Jiang Lianzhu said a few words of relief.

After listening to their conversation, Deng Tianhu felt confident in his heart.

It's up to him.

"Boss, we are tenants renting the hills. We can only grow some dry grains, cotton, soybeans, etc. on the two hills. The weather is very dry. There is no water in the paddy fields below the mountains, let alone on the mountains. Therefore, my boss, the harvest is not good. It’s too ideal, some cotton and some soybeans have been harvested, and there is nothing else... I am ashamed of the high expectations of the owner.”

The harvest on the top of the mountain must be incomparable with fertile fields.

Tenant Deng does not only manage Jiang Lianzhu's hilltops. Their family also has a small number of hilltops of their own. If they live by renting hilltops, they will not be able to support the whole family.

He didn't have a pamphlet, and he couldn't read well, so Jiang Lianzhu asked him to tell him exactly how much cotton and soybeans he had harvested.

I also went out to check the quality of the cotton.

Little is little, but the cotton is snow-white, sun-dried, very soft, and has a pleasant smell of the sun.

A few bulging bales of cotton with cottonseed, about two to three hundred catties.

As for soybeans, the color is more mixed. There are green beans, soybeans, black beans, soybeans, and small beans. The total is less than one hundred catties, and even a sack is not full.

The last time Jiang Lianzhu used a drone to observe, the growth was indeed dismal.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't say anything, Deng tenant felt sorry for himself, and said that his boss didn't need to give them a commission.

"I still have to give as much as the agreed commission this year, but next year, I don't want to grow these crops, and instead plant pear trees, cut down all the miscellaneous trees in the mountain, and plant all pear trees, can you help me?" Shall I take care of it again? If it works, I will continue to renew the contract with your Deng family next year, if not, I will hire someone else."

Deng Tianhu said, "It can be done!! My master! Our house has a hilltop, and we specialize in planting fruit trees. We plant peach trees in our house. If you want to change to pear trees next year, we can do it too. To manage fruit trees, we are here It’s okay, but when replanting, it will take a lot of labor and effort, relying on our family alone, I’m afraid we’ll miss the best planting period, and we’ll probably need to hire labor when the time comes..."

Jiang Lianzhu's eyes lit up. These two tenants are really professional counterparts, so they don't have to look for people everywhere.

"Please, please. I will pay for labor costs and costs. You mainly take care of the pear groves after planting."

Deng Tianhu smiled confidently, "I'm in it, my boss!"

When it comes to fruit trees and pear forests, Tenant Deng is familiar with the size of the two hills of Jiang Lianzhu's family, the soil environment, how many trees can be planted in a few years, and where to buy good pear tree seedlings.

Jiang Lianzhu confirmed with him repeatedly and made a lot of calculations.

"Mother, help me cook, and leave the two uncles at home for a light meal at noon."

Jiang Cheng happily responded.

After Jiang Lianzhu finished talking about planting pear trees, she asked the two tenants what tools they used for farming.

She traveled here, there is no field at home, and she has not gone to the field to do farm work, so she is curious.

The two tenants talked about some daily-use farm tools, and Jiang Lianzhu kept them in mind one by one. One day, he will go to the field to see if he can improve the farm tools to make them more modern, more handy, and more efficient.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't know much about farming, and the all-round agent didn't include farmer skills. Now that she was a village woman, she had to specialize in it. If she could learn as much as she could, she would know as much as possible. ?
