According to the general conditions for renting land here, the harvest is [-] to [-] cents, but since most landlords who rely on the land for food try their best to squeeze these hard-working peasants at the bottom of society, in addition to grain rent, the villagers are also charged separately two hundred per mu of land. Money rent.

Don’t underestimate these two hundred coins. After harvesting an acre of land, you can earn two taels of silver per acre of land on average. Everyone in your family lives on this little money, and you have to save money for your children to marry and repair houses. Charging two hundred cash per mu of land is definitely a kind of oppression.

Now Wu Qingyuan only collects grain rent, not to mention, and promises to guarantee that the harvest of one mu of land will be subsidized if he does not earn three taels of silver. Accounts can be calculated.

And Wu Qingyuan also wrote a deed to the government to witness, all the villagers have no doubts and worries, one by one hurriedly queued up in front of Lin Amo to rent the land, for fear that they would be rented out because there is only 160 acres of wasteland , It will be gone after renting.

There are more than 200 households in Liushu Village, which is definitely not enough land. In the end, Wu Qingyuan only rented out some of them with better reputations, and let everyone rent the rest later.

These fields are only temporary, and Liushu Village is only a village for the first experiment. He will continue to buy fields to expand his business when the business stabilizes. He can't become fat when doing things, especially business matters, which need to be done slowly.

After a lot of fun, the villagers who rented the fields were all smiles. Although the villagers who did not rent the fields were a little disappointed, Wu Qingyuan said that his [-] mu of land would need to be cultivated by short-term labor in the future, and everyone can come to help earn a share. income.

In short, the matter of renting the land finally came to a successful conclusion.

But everything has two sides, some people laugh and some people cry. Most of the villagers have rented Wu Qingyuan’s land this year, so naturally they will not renew the lease from Qian Yuan’s family. People rent, this loss and movement is not small!

"Useless things, what happened this year? Why haven't so many fields been rented out?"

Knowing that his field was vacant, Qian Yuanwai, who was enjoying the service of his concubine, immediately put on his clothes and called the dog leg who was doing errands to him for interrogation.

Although the Qian family is a well-known big landlord in Shiqiao Town, with a lot of property and shops in the family, more than 100 mu of land is not a small amount. The landlord relies on good land to make money. So much land has not been rented out, and his family’s income this year is low. There are hundreds of taels of silver.

"Don't blame the master. The small ones can't help it. The fields that are not rented out belong to Liushu Village. The small one has already inquired about it. It is the Wu family in Liushu Village. His family bought a lot of fields this year. A few days ago Tian rented it out to the villagers at a very cheap price, no rent was charged and only [-]% of the grain was charged, and he also promised that the villagers would give a subsidy if the income per mu of land was not enough, so the villagers stopped renting our land..."

The dog-legged Wang Dafu bent down and lowered his head to explain with a sad face.

"What? Promise to repay rent without collecting rent?!"

Qian Yuanwai, who had a fat waist and a round belly, sat up straight when he heard it, and the chair under his buttocks trembled.

"Yes, it's the wrong post, the Wu family is against us, master!"

Wang Dafu was afraid of being punished for his errands, so he took the blame out without hesitation, "Master, do you still remember that our carbon kiln business earned 200 taels less in the Chinese New Year than in previous years?"

"Remember, because of the 200 taels of silver, that tigress almost grabbed the master's ear!"

As soon as the carbon kiln business was mentioned, Master Qian immediately covered his ears and complained angrily.

The charcoal kiln is such a profitable business that his family naturally has an industry, and the silver earned each year accounts for a large part of his family's total income. Due to Wu Qingyuan's intervention in the Chinese New Year last year, several employees involved in the carbon kiln business in the town were punished. Some impacts, among which Qian Yuanwai suffered the most losses, because Shiqiao Town is where his main industries gather.

Because of this, Qian Yuanwai was taught a lesson by the tigress at home for the hundred taels of silver. Naturally, Wang Dafu, a dog leg, was also taught a lesson because of his poor handling of affairs. Not to mention, he also deducted a lot of monthly money. It's far away.

Who knows that he hasn't found a chance to deal with him yet, and now he's prying their corner in the matter of Diantian again, causing himself to be scolded by the master again, stealing money is like killing his parents, Wang Dafu is really against Wu Qing at this moment Far hate it.

"My lord, it's him, this Wu family. I've found out everything. The man surnamed Wu opened three carbon kilns last year. He earned all the money we lost, and now he's coming to rob our tenants again, lord. , this kid is deliberately against you!"

Wang Dafu spared no effort to speak ill, and made up his mind to direct Qian Yuanwai's anger on him, otherwise the master would blame him for not doing things well and he would lose his job.

He has done a lot of things to sow discord and speak ill of others. Qian Yuanwai has always trusted him. After hearing this, he immediately slapped the table and became angry.

"Where did the stinky boy dare to steal my business from the master, he is really impatient! You bastard! Wang Dafu, tell me, what should we do about this?"

The transfer of firepower was successful, Wang Dafu smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, so he went up to help out a bad idea.

"Master, we can't teach you a lesson about this matter, otherwise people will say that you bully the good people, Master, and you don't even want to find someone to beat you up. It's too cheap for that kid..."

"If you have any ideas, you should speak up quickly, don't talk nonsense!" Qian Yuanwai was the most unreasonable, so he interrupted impatiently and pointed directly at the topic.

"Yes, sir, I feel that after a while, we will be preparing to burn charcoal again. Why don't we say hello to the wood bosses in the town and ask them to sell a batch of waste as the Chen family did last time?" If the wood is given to the Wu family, if the charcoal cannot be burned by then, the Wu family will have to pay for it and go bankrupt?"

"Well, this is feasible, or you kid has a lot of ideas, but what about the vacant fields in Willow Village?"

Qian Yuanwai nodded in agreement.

"This....."

When this Wang Dafu was mentioned, he also became embarrassed, thought about it, looked at Master Qian's face, waiting for his own idea, hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "Master, why don't we collect rent this year? It's..."

"What? No rent?!" Qian Yuanwai sat up again. He is a well-known money picker with a radius of hundreds of miles in Shiqiao Town. He has always only increased rent, not exempted it!

As his dog leg, Wang Dafu certainly knows this truth, but if the rent is not reduced, the remaining villagers will probably be less willing to rent the Qian family's land because of the Wu family's comparison. Well, when the time comes, all the fields will really not be rented out, Qian Yuanwai must blame him.

It's not easy to be a dog's leg. It's better to be scolded now than to lose your job in the future, Wang Dafu continued to bite the bullet.

"Master, we still have [-]% of the grain if we don't charge the rent. It's not a loss, but we just earn a little less. But if we don't reduce the rent and the villagers don't rent our fields, those fields will be abandoned this year, and the loss will definitely be even greater. Ma'am, I'm afraid..."

"Enough is enough, cut it down, hurry up and do it, if the matter is not done well, madam will grab my master's ear, master, I will chop your ear off to drink, hurry up and say hello to the timber boss in the town, If anyone dares to let that Wu family make money this year, I will ask him to beg for food in Shiqiao Town tomorrow, master!"

As soon as the tigress at home was taken out, Qian Yuanwai was frightened and nodded impatiently.

"Yes, master, don't worry, the little one will definitely get things done..."

Successfully pushing the responsibility out, Wang Dafu let out a sigh of relief, bowed his head, nodded and flattered him, and hurried down to do things.

..............

Wu Qingyuan didn't know about Master Qian's anger for the time being, even if he knew, he wouldn't be afraid. In doing business, he would inevitably meet rivals, so why would he make money if he was afraid?Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil, there is always a solution.

After finishing the field work, the next step is to open a shop in the town. Apart from the three carriages at home, he also bought a lot of other goods on the road, all of which were transported back by the Escort. Estimated distance, at most It will arrive in half a month.

With so many goods, we can't keep them on hand all the time. We must open the store as soon as possible for sales.

The preparations at the beginning of the business were very busy. The shops in the town were easy to buy, but there were too few of them. After running around the town for several days, Wu Qingyuan bought two adjacent small shops.

He plans to open up and decorate the two small shops into one big shop. The left side specializes in all kinds of goods brought by runners, as well as the later grain sales, and the right side is decorated separately for Amo to start his own small business.

Whether it's a special noodle restaurant, a small restaurant, or something else, Amo can do whatever he likes. The boy likes to be lively so much, so he will definitely like to do something of his own.

In fact, he has considered so much, whether he wants Amo to have his own small business and not be boring, or wants Amo to walk side by side with him. In the end, he concluded that for so many reasons, he just wanted Amo to stay by his side. Looking at the smiling young man around him every day, he also feels happy in his heart. Amo is the only reason for him to stay here.

In fact, just as he thought, Amo jumped for joy when he knew that he also had an ordinary shop where he could do what he liked.

He couldn't stay at home. Since he was a child, his favorite thing was to run outside, and then find various ways to make money and save money. Now Wu Qingyuan let him do what he likes in the shop, so that he can also earn money by himself. Yinzi just hit his sensitive point, and he was about to fly with joy.

Although the two were busy after getting married, they stayed together early and late. The smiles on A Mo's face became more and more, and Wu Qingyuan's heart became softer and softer. At night, they hugged each other and fell asleep, and the deserted home was extraordinarily warm.
