Reborn as a landlord!I can

Chapter 4 Resolution, Rent Collection

"Lao San Lao Si" Li Yichang suddenly looked serious and looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, "I don't care how good your relationship is as a couple or how much you trust each other. I'm still worried about slowly having a magical space. No one can say it at any time, including me, even if I die, I will die in my heart!" Li Yichang explained very carefully, "Only the four of us know this secret. Everyone knows the truth!"

Then he turned around and warned, "Slowly, you must use it in an absolutely safe place in the future. Close the doors and windows tightly when using it, and be careful not to suddenly appear inappropriate things when you are alone. It is best to find a good reason or excuse first, and be fair and aboveboard." The appearance is inconspicuous. There are many careful and smart people in this world, and there are even more careful and vicious people! Don't underestimate anyone, this is a kind of cultivation and a kind of wisdom."

Li Manping's emotions surged and her heart swelled. Only at this moment did she regard the Li family as her true relatives.Instead of taking over other people’s, dispensable, baggage that can be discarded in times of crisis!

Pulling the corners of her lips, she smiled brightly, "Uncle, I will listen to you. If you want to use it in the future, I will find one of you."

"No", but Li Yichang shook his head, "Slowly, people's hearts are invisible, and they are good at changing. No one can be trusted absolutely! If you hold back, it will be your escape"!

"Uh"... Li Manping was dumbfounded and looked at the three people in front of her with wide eyes. What kind of fuss was going on?What are you doing?Let me be careful about outsiders, but don't let me trust my own people, what should I do?

Li Yixing saw confusion and fear on his daughter's fat face, and her expression was slightly distorted.He suppressed his laughter and comforted her, "Don't be scared by your uncle. It's not that serious. Just pay more attention outside. You can trust us internally."

Li Manping breathed a sigh of relief. As her uncle said, be careful about this and pay attention to that. Does she still want the space?Use it or not?Does she want to live anymore?

Li Manping, who had solved the thorn in her heart and felt at peace, sat on a large chair and watched her uncle and the others clearly divided their labors and explained in detail how to deal with the part of the things they managed. If there were any shortcomings, the other two would find out the problem and propose solutions. , try to handle it quickly, smoothly and unobtrusively.

After listening to the content of their discussion all afternoon, it turned out that the uncle was selling the land to surrounding farmers, and he couldn't just sell it at a cheap price.We must hold high the banner of justice!Because you are my neighbor, I can resell it at a fair or even low price.This is the best way. It is best to distribute the sales and purchases equally according to the population to avoid dissatisfaction and trouble for others. After all, if the land under an individual's name exceeds the limit, he will be judged as a wealthy household, and the excess land will be given to everyone for free. land personnel.The uncle and brother-in-law went to the village chief to discuss the details in detail.The most important thing now is to collect all the rent, just in case.

As for the Li family's old house, it cannot be sold or destroyed. Only important items can be returned to the space. Some valuable items such as porcelain, famous landscape calligraphy and paintings on the wall, precious wood and finely carved solid wood furniture cannot be left behind.But wooden furniture cannot be taken away in front of others, and an accident needs to be created——the shocking fire of my grandfather’s first seven soul nights!The fire will destroy the entire house, leaving only the mottled black earthen walls.It gives people the illusion that the Li family is almost finished.This strategy was dedicated and further improved by Li Yilong, Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau.I also need the friendly support of an eight-year-old girl - go up the back mountain and use the space to collect as much firewood as possible to help the fire.

The various shops in the county town were waiting to be resold after the first seven fires. The excuses were all ready. The fire burned everything, and they needed to buy new clothes, shoes, socks, bedding and food rations for a dozen people.This matter is not urgent, but my mother-in-law and eldest uncle's mother can go back to the city first to reveal that the uncle's family will live in the old house forever, take care of the ancestral property, and find people to take over several shops.

As for the two cousins-in-law's houses, my aunt's house, and my own aunt's house, it is up to the uncle, father, and brother-in-law to explain the current situation and see if each family needs to move out together.There are not many people left in the two cousins-in-law's family. In recent years, wars have occurred frequently. Many people have fled overseas, and the remaining ones are sincere people who are reluctant to stay away from their homeland!

They have good relationships, deep friendships, and good character. Uncle Li Yichang revealed a little bit of information to them. They are all knowledgeable and well-connected people in the city. As long as they get a little information, they will find a better way out.

The shops in the county town sold them, and then bought some clothes, bedding, cold food, and some pots, pans, etc. that are needed in daily life.

My old house is located in Jining, Tianbei, a village near Dongming Town, a small county under the jurisdiction of Siping City. The land here is fertile, the sunlight is abundant and the precipitation is low. However, there is abundant underground river water, which makes the crops grown here grow vigorously. Very good, the harvest is very good every year, it is a wealthy village.The village is a bit far from the county seat. You have to drive an ox-cart or a horse-drawn carriage for more than a hundred miles. Since the family has a large population and a lot of things on display, you must prepare two or three ox-carts or horse-drawn carriages. There is just enough space to store living things. When you are not on the ox-carriage, you can avoid other people and stay in the space.

It takes about two days to drive an ox cart and horse-drawn carriage from the county seat to Siping City. Take a train in Siping City to Tiemuling Railway Station. From Tiemuling, you can transfer to Yangcheng City. If you don’t want to enter Yangcheng, you can also transfer from Tiemuling to Changshun. , it also takes two days to drive a carriage from Changshun to Huixian, the county seat at the foot of Qianshan Mountain.It takes about five days to get settled in a small town.

And the road may not be smooth. There are an astonishing number of bandits in the entire north.There may be several batches of some treasures located in ten miles and eighty miles.

The relocation site chosen by the uncle and fourth uncle is a small town 200 kilometers away from Yangcheng City under the jurisdiction of Liao Province. It is close to Qianshan Mountain and is remote, but has abundant supplies, and the uncle’s comrades’ hometown is there. , you can ask him to help you settle down, buy a house, or open a restaurant or shop. After all, if you have money, your life will not be too bad, and no profitable business will be too conspicuous.

After settling into a stable home in the new town, I will send myself, my eldest brother, and my fourth uncle's younger cousin to school.Generally speaking, it is just a little difficult in the early stage. Once you have space, any trouble will be no more trouble!

------------------

In the main room of the village chief's house, the village chief and the village's most respected elders sat around to discuss, with Li Yichang and Li Yilong sitting beside them. "Big boy, you said you would start collecting rent this afternoon, but some tenants have not harvested all the grain in their fields and have not dried it completely and put it in the warehouse. This dry grain cannot be stored for a long time."

"Uncle Village Chief, we brothers can't help it. It's been more than two months since we returned to our old home, and the shops in the city have never been taken care of. Now that my father has passed away, we quickly collected the rent and planned to After the first seven days, we will return to the county town."After sighing, Li Yichang stepped forward to explain to several elders in the village.

The elders of the three tribes nodded, "From the time your father came back from a serious illness to the time he was laid to rest, it lasted almost three months. You still have shops to take care of in the city, so it's time to go back."

The village chief also nodded and said with approval, "Okay, we will notify every household soon. The rent will still be the same as when your father was there, [-]%, right?"

Li Yichang nodded and affirmed, "Yes, this is the rent that was negotiated when the old man was still alive. We brothers dare not and will not increase the rent at will. It is still the same as before. If the staple food is not enough, it can be offset by other coarse grains or miscellaneous grains, or with money." offset".

The rent of other landlords does not depend on the weather and the year. They collect a uniform share of rent every year, which is 180% of the rent in good years.The tenants get 200%, which seems like a lot, but the 40% of the grain including land tax, economic tax, public security and other taxes sometimes exceeds [-]%, and the tenants actually get less than [-]% from their hard work. Even in a good harvest year, the top-grade fields The yield of rice per mu is [-] to [-] kilograms, but the yield in hand is less than [-] kilograms, which is evident.

The old man of the Li family took pity on the villagers and only charged 180% of the rented rice after deducting all taxes. This was a great act of kindness.The farmland of the Li family is almost all of high quality, with a yield of 200 to 70 kilograms per mu. After deducting 80 to 110 kilograms of various taxes that vary every year, there is still 120 to 80 kilograms of grain left. If the rent is 80% of the rice, the tenants can actually get [-] kilograms!Don't underestimate these [-] kilograms of grain. Every household rents ten acres of land and earns more than a thousand kilograms of grain.This amount of rice is enough to feed a family and there is more than enough!

"Okay, boss and second brother, you go to each house and notify each other, and then line up to pay the rent. This year is good, the weather is good, and the yield of the top-grade fields is more than 200 kilograms per mu. Calculated at 200, the tax this year will be 4%. Let every household be prepared, and don’t wait until he is still there pulling the strings.”The village chief ordered his two sons.

Li Yichang saw the two brothers walking out and turned around with a smile, "Uncle, my father said that after he left, he asked me to ask if any of you want to buy a few acres of land for your family? I can give some of my good farmland to the village. The folks here have made this fate come true."

Village Chief Li raised his head in surprise, "Really, did your father really say that? That's great. I also need to buy two acres of land for my family, but how much do you sell it for per acre? It's too expensive, and we don't have the money."The village chief is a little worried. He is afraid that the land price is too expensive. How many acres has someone bought in the surrounding villages?That one is expensive!It is said that one acre of land costs seven oceans.

Li Yichang nodded, "Uncle, I won't lie to you. The land outside is getting more and more expensive. My land cost at least 45 yuan this time. This is because everyone is a fellow villager, so it is cheaper. In our village The fields are good, there is plenty of water nearby, and the surrounding mountains are not blocking it. It is a geomantic treasure land, and the amount of food grown every year is higher than that of the master’s land.”

Village Chief Li was delighted. The land cost 45 oceans per acre, which equaled four and a half oceans per acre. It was more than [-]% cheaper than the land owned by the man next door. "Big boy, you and your father are both real people"!Others in the room were also very happy. If they bought such cheap land for a few days, they would not have to pay rent for the food they would grow in the future. Then their families would be richer, and they could exchange a lot of money for their children to go to school.A gray-haired clan elder grinned and warned, "San, hurry up and tell the villagers this good news. After dinner, we will go to the dam in front of the ancestral temple together. Let the rent be collected by Dawazi today. You can get money to buy land tomorrow.”This old man is the uncle of the village chief, who ranks third in the clan.

"Okay, we brothers will go home to have dinner first, and we will meet in front of the ancestral temple later."

-------------

"Attention, attention, fellow villagers, please gather at the dam in front of the ancestral temple after eating. Line up to pick out your own food. Pay the rent as soon as possible. Don't leave in a hurry after paying the rent. It's important. "Notification of something important." The village chief's high-pitched voice came from the loudspeaker.Li Manping looked at her uncle, father, and uncle, and wondered, "Can I collect the rent today?"

Li Yixing gave his daughter a chopstick of vegetables and put it in her bowl. He reminded her, "We are selling land. One acre of land only costs four and a half yuan. The price is very low. If you buy it, you will get a big advantage."

Li Manping noticed the confused looks in her eldest uncle's mother-in-law's eyes, her younger aunt's younger sister's wife, and her own mother. She blinked and looked innocently at the three elders.Li Yilong hit her on the head with chopsticks and said, "Don't make trouble!"He turned to the three women and said, "Sister-in-law, you eat first. I will explain to you in detail when I am free tonight."

Li Manping also threw down her bowls and chopsticks and walked towards the dam with them. She saw many people carrying burdens and gathering towards the center of the dam. The villagers she met along the way greeted them with smiles.

"Line up, line up," Village Chief Li held up his loudspeaker, "What's the rush? Come one by one."Seeing several people from the Li family coming over, he hurriedly invited them to sit down at the table next to him. He opened a notebook from the table and shouted, "Send your name, how many acres of land you have rented, how much food you need to pay, what food you need to pay. say clearly".

"Li Dashan, 20 acres of high-grade rice," a middle-aged and elderly man with a strong build and dark complexion was carrying the load, and he was the first in line. He was followed by two strong young men who were also carrying the load. It's his son.

An old man took the notebook and recorded it carefully, muttering something in his mouth, "Li Dashan, first class, 20 acres, 200 acres of yield, 80 tax, 120 grain, 36 rent, a total of 720 kilograms of rice." He transcribed it neatly and signed his name to the strong man. and the laying of fingerprints.After making a record, the strong man carried the grain to the barn for stacking.Registration continues with the next person.

Li Manping found that her uncle also took out a thick notebook and copied the same content. Seeing her doubts, Li Yixing explained in a low voice, "This is to prevent one person from copying mistakes and to facilitate reconciliation."

Li Manping sat on the chair and watched the strong men come over with loads of grain to register, report the land, and put it into the warehouse. The process remained almost unchanged. She lay on the table staring at the sky in boredom.

Although it is boring, her heart is very stable. With the support of her smart and capable family, she has a little more confidence in her salty life for the next 30 years.
