Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Chapter 175 Recruiting tenant farmers

The Liang family didn't care or want to care about the progress of the marriage between the Zhao family and the Qu family, but Qu Yi paid a little attention to it. He was no less wary of the Qu family's fifth family, especially Qu Yaowen, than he was of Zhuang Qingze. Both of these people are bad embryos.

After hearing Qu Yaowen's romantic news from someone outside his school, Qu Yi naturally thought of the Zhao family, except that the Zhao family didn't want to do anything to him, after all, he hadn't done anything to him recently.

When Qu Yi was looking for someone to inquire about, Mrs. Zhong had already led Mrs. Qu to Zhao's house, and the two sides almost had a quarrel. It is said that Mrs. Zhong left Zhao's house in the end suppressing her anger, and Mrs. Qu was even more embarrassed. Longer than a horse's face, it was obvious that they didn't agree.

What they said in the Zhao family, no one else knew except the people present in the Zhao family, but the person who helped Qu Yi inquire about the news was clever, and accidentally discovered Zhao Wan'er and ran to Qu Yaowen.

This matter was very secretive, and the man felt that he hadn't found any useful information, so he squatted outside Zhao's house for two days before he discovered it.

He couldn't hear what Zhao Waner and Qu Yaowen said from a distance, but he could see the expressions of the two clearly. Patience gradually took a good look at her.

Qu Yi was quite surprised when she heard this, this Zhao Wan'er was quite capable, and it was obvious that the Qu family was very dissatisfied with the marriage, from which one could see Qu Yaowen's attitude, so Zhao Wan'er went to find him and directly Changed Qu Yaowen's attitude. As expected of a woman who could do such shameless things in the Liang family back then, she and Qu Yaowen were a match made in heaven.

It seems that even if there are twists and turns between the two of them, they will probably be together in the end. They are not simple characters. Qu Yi is very happy about this. They have tossed things out with each other, so it is not easy to come up with other crooked ideas, which is very good of.

The Liang family continued to work step by step according to their plan. What Liang's father thought was to recruit tenant farmers in May, and they would be ready to harvest a crop of grain grown in the field in June. July was the time when the Liang family opened new wine every year. Finish the other work before July, and don't delay the work of the wine shop.

Hiring tenant farmers is not the same as hiring permanent labor or buying slaves.

Hiring long-term workers is to watch from the beginning to the end, because many long-term workers will work hard at the beginning, and then gradually slack off later, and long-term workers may leave at any time, which is unstable.

Buying slaves is a peace of mind. If you want to buy people to come back to farm, you can choose those strong laborers who can farm. With the deed of sale in hand, the slaves dare not be lazy and fool the master. But strong labor is expensive and requires Spend a fortune up front.

Basically, as long as the tenants are recruited right at the beginning, there will be no major problems. It must be the kind of tenants who have registered their names in the government. Secondly, most of the tenants who come out to be tenants are a whole family, not only have a strong labor force, but also have family members. And children, if there are many people, it is easy to fish in troubled waters. It is okay to meet honest ones. If there are one or two slippery ones in the family, it will be annoying.

The Liang family has a full 150 mu of land. If it is calculated that a tenant farmer has four adult laborers, at least three households have to be found. This is still the case where there are animals to help cultivate the land. If there are no animals, you have to find more. one household.

Although one or two less people can plant the land of the Liang family, but too much work is unbearable. This ratio was obtained after Liang's father asked many people. The Liang family recruited tenant farmers to help them with the work. It is not necessary to tire people to death like livestock.

Liang Kangsheng listened to his father's arrangement and asked, "Father, then tomorrow I will accompany you to the county town to find a dental clinic?"

The advantage of staying at home to study is that the master only comes to class once in three days, and the rest of the time he is relatively free and can take care of family matters.

Father Liang nodded: "Well, let's all go, your mother and Brother Yi will also go, it's the first time our family is recruiting tenant farmers, everyone should go and watch, more people think more."

What Liang's father thought was that the Liang family had few people, except that the wine shop was related to the Liang family's ancestral precepts. Take care of chores at home.

What's more, Liang's father also considered that his son was admitted to the scholar before he was 20 years old. If he went to high school to raise people, they would have more places to show up in the future than now. His husband is a brother who has never seen the world. Son, don't you let your son be told that the Liang family is a small place, and they have to go out more to see the world.

Liang Kangsheng originally wanted to mention it, but seeing that his father had already thought of it, he naturally agreed to it for Qu Yi without saying anything.

The next day, the four members of the Liang family went to the dental shop in the county seat in a carriage.

Dental dealer is just a general name, it is an industry composed of people who are responsible for helping to make connections. When buying and selling things can not find a buyer or seller, it is the time when dental dealers play a role.

In addition to buying and selling, people from dental clinics such as leasing will also pick up the service. Different businesses have different commissions. The bigger the business, the higher the commission. Of course, if you don't want to pay the commission, you can find someone to find out slowly.

For things like recruiting tenant farmers, it is naturally more convenient to find a dental dealer. Yaren has information on almost all tenant farmers, so you don't need to spend time and energy asking, just tell what you want, and Yaren can introduce it.

The people are well-informed, and they have known for a long time that the Liang family bought 150 acres of land. They wondered whether the Liang family would buy people or other things with so much land. No, I finally got news from the Liang family that they wanted to recruit tenant farmers.

Recruiting tenant farmers is not as much commission as buying and selling servants, but it is not a lot. After the Liang family made a request, the man in charge of this aspect thought about it for a while, and mentioned the tenants who met the Liang family's requirements like a few treasures.

There are seven households in total, and Ya is eloquent, and in his mouth, every household is the best. If you go to Liang's house to keep them and work hard, just pick three households at random.

Of course, he couldn't listen to all the people had to say, and when he finished speaking, Liang Kangsheng asked these people if they were registered in the government, and immediately eliminated two households, leaving five households.

Then Liang Kangsheng carefully asked Yaren about the specific conditions of the five tenant farmers, where their household registrations are, when they started working as tenant farmers, why they became tenant farmers, and whether the family members only know how to farm or also have crafts...

Seeing that Liang Kangsheng asked such a detailed question, the idiot was also dissatisfied with his mouth. He honestly told Liang Kangsheng all the news he knew, and if he didn't know, he answered that he didn't know. Make a bad impression and turn to other people. You must know that Yaren also has competition, and he is not the only one who understands tenant farmers.

The questions that should be asked are almost done. After the family discussed it, Father Liang, as the head of the family, said, "Let the Hu family, Zhou family, Bai family, and Zhu family come over and have a look."

The children of the excluded family are all boys, not because they are worried that the children of this family will eat more food when they grow up, but because both Zhuang and Quyi feel that there are no girls or brothers in their family. , It was they who sold the girl or brother and gave it away.

It is very common to give away the girl or brother in the family and sell it in the countryside, but such a family will inevitably make people feel too cold, and the other families are not like that.

In fact, among tenant farmers, families with more male children are more popular with employers. After all, they eat the same food, and male children work more than female children. Anyway, the food given to tenant farmers will not be different because of the gender of the children. Let them work more. good.

Yaren muttered in his heart that the Liang family was strange, but he didn't show it on his face, and enthusiastically went to call the remaining four families.

When you come out to be a tenant farmer, you have no fixed place to live, no possessions, and your life is not as good as some who sell themselves into slavery. Some people will insist that they don’t want to separate their families. After all, if you sell yourself, you will have no chance of independence. I don't want to be a servant of someone else's family and be slaughtered.

At any rate, tenant farmers rely on their own strength to eat. Although these tenant farmers are dressed in rags and their faces are yellow and thin, their eyes are bright and they still have hope for life.

When all the people arrived, Father Liang looked at them one by one. No one had twinkling eyes, looked left and right, and no one was missing an arm or a leg. Let us choose you for some reason."

The first person to speak was the head of the Zhou family. Father Liang noticed that there were many scabs on his hands, some of which seemed to have been left over many years ago. He wanted to fight for his family, so he swallowed nervously and said : "Master, the children in my family can weave some common things out of bamboo, and they can also repair the household and field items. I, we will cultivate the land well!"

Bamboo weaving is not a special skill, but he and his sons have scratches on their hands, so they should be veterans of weaving things, maybe there are some differences, Father Liang kept it in mind.

With the old man Zhou speaking, the next step seemed to be not so difficult, and the head of the Bai family also said: "Master, my family is a tenant farmer after the disaster, and everyone in the family is honest and willing to work. The son goes to a private school to learn to read, and the family also benefits, knowing a few words is not considered blind."

As he said that, the head of the Bai family puffed out his chest. In his opinion, literacy is considered a very special ability. He has been a tenant farmer for the past few years. Whenever he said that his family was literate, he would be picked up by his employer.

Father Liang nodded when he heard the words, but Liang Kangsheng's expression didn't change. He glanced at the youngest man in the Bai family. His clothes were relatively better in the Bai family, and his skin was whiter and more delicate.

After the Bai family is the head of the Zhu family, probably because the Bai family was literate first, he was very nervous and didn't want to be left behind, so he whispered: "Master, I, my family can raise livestock, big and small, and my family can raise animals. The pig here can weigh ten catties more than other pigs!"

Speaking of the latter, old man Zhu was a little more confident, but he thought that the Liang family was looking for someone to plant the land, so he lowered his head after looking at the Liang family.

When the old man Hu was the most hunched, he only said in a hoarse voice: "Go back to the master, the old man will take the children to plant rice."
