The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Feng Ke's face finally scabbed after a few days, but it was a bit scary to look at, so he put down the hair around his ears to cover it, and he couldn't see what was going on unless he looked carefully.

Jiang Ziyan spent a few days to understand the planting situation of the land here, as well as the annual rain and weather, so he took Feng Ke to the field ridge to check the fields, and let the tenants recognize their faces and know that they were newly appointed What does your boss look like.

Heading east along the path, Jiang Ziyan first visited the dry fields.The harvest in this area is not good, and the tenants also know that the owner has changed hands. They are very worried that the previous poor harvest will be blamed on them, but the rent that should be paid by then will not be less at all. Life is difficult.

Jiang Ziyan staggered all the way to the farm in a crude carriage. There were many common people on the ridge of the field who were squatting in the fields and weeding.

These few acres of dry land are all planted with wheat. Wheat is expensive, but it is prone to grass and insects, so the yield is also low, not to mention the severe drought. Once there is a lack of water, the reduction in production will be very serious.

After Jiang Ziyan got off the carriage, he attracted the attention of many people.

He rolled up the hem of his robe, went to the field ridge and knelt down to look at the wheat in the field.Because of the snowfall last winter, Mai's growth is not bad, and now it reaches the height of his calf, and there is a lot of green, which is very comfortable to look at.

It's just that among these neat wheat seedlings, at a glance, there are many tall and protruding grasses, and the tenants are busy weeding in the field.

Jiang Ziyan approached an uncle who was bending over to pull weeds, and he said, "Uncle, I would like to ask, how much does one mu of wheat yield in our field each year?"

The uncle's name is Liu Futian, his skin is tanned, and he wiped his sweat with his sleeve. When he saw a young man asking him, he replied: "When it is good, it weighs more than 300 catties. In a natural disaster, it can weigh two hundred catties." A catty would be fine."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, frowned, and said: "The harvest in the past two years has become worse and worse than before. Half of the harvested grain has to be handed over to the owner, and some more should be allocated to pay taxes. Really. I don't know how to live this day!"

"Have you ever thought about planting other things? For example, sweet potatoes. As far as I know, this kind of food can also fill you up, and it is not prone to pests. It is much easier to plant than wheat."

"It's a good variety, but the price of this sweet potato is too cheap. If you grow it, you won't be able to sell it for much."

Jiang Ziyan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, then lowered his head to look at the soil. This would be yellow land, relatively speaking, the soil is fertile, which is very suitable for growing grapes.

It is now April, and it is best to plant grapes between April and May. He has asked Mr. Zhao to inquire about a batch of grape seedlings, and it is best to plant them as soon as possible.

It's just that all the fields are planted with wheat, and it's not easy for him to ask someone to pull them out and plant grapes instead. Jiang Ziyan thought about it and said to Liu Futian, "I'm our new owner. It's all mine. Now listen to me, don't keep everyone busy, go and call them from the field, just say I have something to say."

Liu Futian was quite confused. It turned out that the young man standing in front of him was their new boss. Thinking back on what he said just now, fortunately he didn't say anything offensive, so he hurried to the field to greet everyone back.

After a while, a group of people surrounded the open space at the head of the field. Jiang Ziyan was standing beside a big rock, and Feng Ke was standing beside him with a knife in his arms, always vigilant about the people around him.

There was a lot of noise around, Jiang Ziyan calmed everyone down and said: "Everyone, I am your new owner, which wheat in this part of the field is not growing well, please give me the result after you count it. Are there any other fields that are relatively vacant?" , Those who have basically no harvest are also reported, and I plan to plant vines on these lands."

As soon as the news came out, the tenants around seemed to explode. Why didn't the boss let them grow wheat?What kind of grapes are going to be planted, wouldn't their annual harvest be less?

Although grapes are precious and the price is not low, they are not needed by every household like wheat, so what's the use of not being able to sell them even if the price is high?

Although everyone was reluctant, they did not dare to refute in public. In the end, you pushed me and pushed you, and sent Liu Futian, a representative, to ask: "Boss, if we are all growing grapes, what should we do with our harvest?" After working so hard for a year, I count on this harvest to support my family!"

Jiang Ziyan reassured: "Listen to me, I just bought this land to grow grapes, you don't have to worry about how to sell it, I will be responsible for paying everyone's wages when the time comes.

It's equivalent to if you work for me, you won't get [-]% of the previous harvest.In this way, regardless of whether the harvest is good or bad, I will pay you wages, at [-] Wen per person per day. "

Everyone was very surprised when they heard it, and then they were pleasantly surprised. Someone couldn't help asking: "Is what the boss said true?"

Jiang Ziyan smiled, "Of course it is true, we can make a deed."

After getting the promise, the big guys began to talk about it. Everyone was very happy. They thought that if they changed to a new owner, what would happen if they were more demanding than the previous one, and what would happen if they were asked to pay more rent? Being kind, paying them monthly wages is equivalent to a stable job for them to farm in the future, no matter whether the harvest is good or not, their wages will not be less.

And each person has twenty Wen a day!Just imagine that if two people in a family go out to work every day, they will have forty Wen in that day!

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, everyone said to listen to my boss!

Seeing that everyone accepted his idea, Jiang Ziyan felt a little thirsty after talking for a while, so he was going to go to the village to have a rest and ask for tea.He didn't say hello to the steward here before he came, so the steward didn't know he was coming.

It's strange to say that he has been here for a long time, even if the steward didn't know he was coming, he should have heard the news and came out to report the situation of the field to him.

However, the manager didn't come, so Liu Futian led Jiang Ziyan to the Zhuangzi to rest.

On the way, Liu Futian introduced: "Boss, there are about dozens of households living in our village, and they are all tenants of this field. To the south is the tea field, and to the west is the Shatian."

"Chuang Tzu is ahead, you can go in and have a rest."

Jiang Ziyan nodded, and at this moment, a somewhat thin man came towards him suddenly, with his back slightly bowed, with a pair of inverted triangular eyes, his face was not very pleasing to the eye.

When Liu Futian saw the person coming, his face immediately sank, but before he could speak, he heard the person say: "Liu Futian! It's you again, why don't you go to the field to pull weeds and come back at this time? Do you want to be lazy again? "

Liu Futian held back his anger and said: "He Dahai, what are you talking about, when did I ever get lazy?"

He Dahai looked at Jiang Ziyan who was beside Liu Futian, and saw that the other person was thin-skinned and tender, but his face was really beautiful. He rubbed his hands and couldn't help but said: "Liu Futian, which relative of yours is this?" Ah, why haven't I seen it before? Otherwise, I see how handsome he is, why don't you stay with me for a night, and I won't collect the half-year rent you owe, how about it?"

Jiang Ziyan had just come from the field, and his feet were covered with mud, as well as the hem of his lower body and trouser legs, which gave He Dahai the illusion that he was a relative of Liu Futian.

Liu Futian was in a hurry, and wanted to say that this was not a relative of his family, but a new boss, and how could he insult the boss like this?

Jiang Ziyan on the side stopped his words and asked politely, "Excuse me?"

He Dahai said smugly, "I'm the manager of the village! How about it? It's not bad, do you want to consider me? Although I like women, you are really good-looking, so I reluctantly accept you. How about it?" ?”

What I said is really a bit arrogant. He Dahai is used to dominating the village and oppressing the tenants. Before that, he was very good at Qiyuanwai. Every year, there are many good things in filial piety, so he has been steady Doing things in the Zhuangzi.Now I saw that Jiang Ziyan was so bold and unreasonable.

What he said was too much. Before Jiang Ziyan could speak, Feng Ke behind him directly turned over in the air and stood in front of He Dahai.

He Dahai was so shocked that before he had time to react, Feng Ke kicked him sideways, restrained him three or two times, pressed him half kneeling on the ground with one leg, and put the knife on his neck after it was unsheathed .

He Dahai was almost scared to pee. This person had been standing behind with a very low sense of presence just now, so he didn't take it seriously, and he was pressed down by the other party in a blink of an eye.

"You, you, who are you? I am the manager of Zhuangzi, let me tell you, if you offend me, you will not have any good fruit in the future!" He Dahai was put on the neck with a knife Still talking hard, self-confidence is not generally strong.

When Liu Futian saw that the young man next to his new owner suddenly took out a knife, he broke out in a cold sweat. They were all honest farmers, so how could they have experienced such a scene.

Jiang Ziyan knelt down, approached He Dahai, and said, "He Dahai, is Zhuangzi the manager?"

Seeing that the other party didn't buy his account, He Dahai became a little panicked, and stammered: "Yes, yes! It's good to know, let me go quickly, and I, I, I won't pursue today's matter! "He still had a trembling voice when he spoke, lacking confidence.

"Very well, from now on, you are fired."

"What, what?"

He Dahai looked in disbelief, and even thought it was a bit ridiculous, Zuo was just beaten, but the other party said he was fired, what a big joke!

He said: "It's up to you to fire me? Who are you?"

Jiang Ziyan brushed off the plaster on his shirt, stood up and said, "Coincidentally, I happen to be the boss here, so I really have the final say!"

"Heh, what kind of boss are you? I've met the young master of Qi Yuanwai's family, and he's not like you at all—"

When he said this, his voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly remembered that Qi Yuanwai called him over a few days ago to say that he had sold this land to someone else, and he had completely forgotten about it.

Could it be that the person in front of him is the one who bought land from Qi Yuanwai?In that case, wouldn't he offend the new boss?

He Dahai suddenly came to his senses, kowtowed vigorously and said, "The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and didn't recognize that it was my master. The villain is blind. Please don't drive me away!" He said while slapping himself , The sound of slapping in the face was loud.

He has been doing this job for several years, and he has been going smoothly, and he can still make a lot of money every year, but this time he really lost his way.

It was approaching noon, and people in the field rushed back from the field one after another to have lunch. Here, He Dahai's incident became more and more troublesome, attracting more and more onlookers.

The big guy, the new owner, let He Dahai go because he was soft-hearted, and complained one after another.

It turned out that He Dahai relied on being the manager of the Zhuangzi, and he was very embarrassed in front of the previous owner, so he has been dominating the Zhuangzi, deducting rent, bullying the tenants, molesting the girls in the Zhuangzi, bullying men and women, etc. There are countless things.The tenants on the Zhuangzi had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but there was nothing they could do.

Jiang Ziyan heard everyone's accusations against him, and said: "From now on, He Dahai is no longer the manager of this village. As for what he did before, he will be sent to the government, and the county master will interrogate him personally. !"

Jiang Ziyan's actions really angered the people in Zhuangzi, whoever got up and started applauding, people kept applauding.

"This Zhuangzi cannot be without a steward. I think this big brother Liu is pretty good. Why don't you take the steward's position temporarily."

Liu Futian was flattered, he was just leading the way for his boss, but he didn't expect his boss to praise him so much.While thanking him heavily, he secretly made up his mind in his heart to live up to the expectations of his boss.

Before Jiang Ziyan left, he discussed with the people on the Zhuangzi about planting grapes, and then rushed back from the Zhuangzi.

When he came out this trip, he not only carefully arranged the grape planting, but also eliminated He Dahai, the steward who oppressed the tenants. It can be said that he established prestige and trust in front of the tenants.

After Jiang Ziyan left, Liu Futian also went back to eat. The mother-in-law at home had already prepared a meal for him, which was dipping noodles made by hand rolling.

She served a bowl to Liu Futian, who was in charge, and a bowl to her son, and then she picked up the bowl and served it to herself.

She was not there at noon, and when she came back, she was very happy to hear that her man had become the steward. Only now did she have the chance to ask, "Boss, are you really the steward of our village now?"

Liu Futian took a mouthful of noodles, and said while eating: "Well, thanks to the boss's promotion, not only did that guy He Dahai be punished, but he personally named me to be the steward!"

Mrs. Liu got the letter, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, "Since the boss asked you to do this job, then you have to work hard in the future. There are many people staring at this position, so you can't be lazy!"

"It's up to you to say, what do you know, my wife, my boss valued me for letting me do things, and I will do my best to do things for my boss!"

"Yeah, I don't worry about doing things in the house. Speaking of which, I heard that the new boss is not very old, but he is a very kind-hearted person!" She didn't see Jiang Ziyan, and everything was told by other people in Zhuangzi. of.

"It's true. When the boss first came over and asked me about the harvest in the field, I thought he was a scholar when I first saw him! Thanks to him for punishing He Dahai for the big guy, otherwise this year's rent would be very expensive. You have to pay half more."

Except for Liu Futian's family, those families who were oppressed and persecuted by He Dahai also praised the new boss for his kindness, kindness, and consideration for them.

For a while Jiang Ziyan was highly respected in the hearts of these tenants.

The grape seedlings that Jiang Ziyan was going to plant came back five days later, and he taught everyone how to plant them according to the method mentioned in the encyclopedia.Grape cuttings can live, and the vitality is very tenacious. Now it is April, and it will not mature until August. During this period, it must be taken care of entirely by manpower.

After the dry land was arranged, Jiang Ziyan went to see the tea field. At the beginning, he paid for the land, which did not include the tea planted in it. Jiang Ziyan took a look and found that the tea field was not very big, but it was divided into three parts. Some grow black tea, some grow green tea, and some grow Longjing.

A batch of Longjing has been picked before the Qingming Festival. The Longjing before the Ming Dynasty has not been washed by the rain during the Qingming Festival, and the taste of the Longjing after the Ming Dynasty is very different.

However, the black tea and green tea in the tea field have not been picked yet, and Jiang Ziyan simply spent some money to buy back all the tea grown in this part, that is to say, the fields in this tea field even the tea that has not been picked are His.
