Take the space to break into the red building

Seeing Wu Yi kneeling in front of him, Yang Guang fell silent.

After a long time, Yang Guang sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to do this, well, you just stay."

"Liu Zhuang, he will follow you in the future and clean up the place, this matter ends here."

Wu Yi and Liu Zhuang dragged Lai Changjin's body away and took two lives as soon as they arrived.

Yang Guang felt that he was really a little cold-blooded, but he had no choice but to let these two people murder him.

It's just that Wu Yi was a little bit interesting. In order to survive, he directly made a nomination certificate.

"I just want to live in this world quietly, and I hope no one will trouble me in the future."

After sighing for a while, Yang Guang went back to bed for a deep sleep. Obviously, this incident did not affect his sleeping mood.

On the contrary, it was like letting go of the big rock in my heart, and I slept very sweetly.

Early the next morning, everyone got up to work, and there were not many people in total. It was obvious that there were two more servants in the yard.

Liu Zhuang, a new follower, brought Wu Yi along, and stood in the yard waiting for his master to arrive.

"Don't look at it, this Liu Zhuang will be the young master's entourage from now on, and this little Wu will be the handlebar for the young master from now on, let's go."

The owner's personal maid, the future aunt Que'er and sister have all spoken, and the others naturally do what they should do.

It's just two more servants, and the owner of the villa can't afford it.

Guanshi Zhang on the side was quite critical, after all, he was in charge of Zhuangzi's money and grain.

Two more people will cost two more monthly payments, which is not a small expense that will last longer.

Zhuangzi is not big, but he has to support a lot of people. It's a bit difficult. No, he has to remind the young master that he can't let him go his own way.

As the master appointed him to help manage Zhuangzi's affairs, he felt obliged to remind him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Guanshi Zhang finally saw the young master who had just woken up.

"Guan Zhang is here, come, sit down and eat together."

Yang Guang, who just got up, didn't even change his clothes, just sat at the dining table and started eating.

Que'er with a helpless face beside him, the young master seems to have a lot of cheerful personality recently, but he is becoming more and more free-wheeling.

But he is the oldest in this family, and no one cares about him. Que'er only wants to please him, so of course he is left alone.

"Young master, this old slave will stop eating. The old slave is here to tell the young master about our village."

Seeing Yang Guang eating and drinking there, it would be nonsense to say that Guanshi Zhang is not greedy.

As far as the food that Yang Guang brought out to eat, they were all good things from his own planting space.

There are many things that even Zhang Guanshi has never seen before.

However, he still felt that it was more important to let the young master know about Zhuangzi's difficulties.

"Look, young master, this is the income and expenses of Zhuangzi last year."

Manager Zhang took out the account book and began to settle the accounts for Yang Guang.

Yang Guang took it over curiously and took a look, and found that it was the journal entry method.

After two glances, my head became dizzy, and I threw it back directly.

Guanshi Zhang shook his head, and continued to explain: "Before, because the master had an official status, there was a tax reduction or exemption."

"But because the Zhuangzi has been given to the young master this year, and the young master went out to support himself again, so the tax has returned to the original amount this year."

"In addition, at the end of last year, in the name of the master, the wife collected all the rent that needs to be paid by the tenants this year, so the young master will not receive the rent this year."

"By the way, the tax that should be paid this year is quite a bit, and the cook in your village has left, and the new one needs to pay another monthly fee."

"The previous servants were all born at home, and it was fine to give them a stutter, but the handlebars and entourage you newly recruited need to be paid separately."

"All these sevens and eights have been spent this year, young master, there is no money and food in the storeroom on the Zhuangzi."

After hearing this, Yang Guang was shocked. He didn't expect that what he took over was actually an empty village, and the kind that had to pay taxes.

The most important thing is that this year's rent has already been collected, which means that not only did he not receive it, but he also had to pay taxes.

The salary of a servant is really nothing in comparison, the most important thing is that there is no money!

Yang Guang was still shocked by the fact that he had no money, so Guanshi Zhang hit him again.

Guanshi Zhang: "By the way, what should be planted this year, as well as seeds and farm tools, etc., also need to be figured out by you, young master."

As a tenant, I will plant the land for you, and you have the final say on what to plant, but you have to provide seeds and tools.

Among them, the most important thing in farming is the cattle, and cattle are an important property, and there seems to be no such thing as Zhuangzi.

Chapter 8: Steward Zhang settles accounts, farming arrangements

Yang Guang stopped eating, and looked at the items listed by Manager Zhang.

He felt that the ancient landlord was not so easy to be.

What if you agreed that you just want to be domineering and bully men and women?How come he still needs to worry about this?

"I understand that you have to pay taxes, but why do I have to provide seeds and farm tools? Don't the tenants themselves have any?"

Yang Guang raised his own question, and Steward Zhang stroked his beard, and finally found a little confidence in being a steward.

"Master, of course the tenants can pay by themselves, but in this way, you can't decide what to plant. In addition, the tenant rent also needs to be reduced by a certain amount."

"The rent my wife collected before was based on the seeds and farm tools you provided. If you don't come out, you have to refund part of the rent. There is no money in the warehouse now."

"In addition, you'd better arrange it quickly, the tenants are all waiting, if you ignore it for a long time, I'm afraid there will be problems."

Come on, Yang Guang finally understood, he had been made clear by his mistress.

They said they were separating you out, but in the end they collected this year's rent first, and didn't leave you supplies.

If this one is not good, the tenants will not recognize you, and when the time comes, it will be your own fault.

If you go home and ask for help, you may have to be ridiculed, and then they will have the opportunity to intervene in Zhuangzi's affairs.

If he really went back to ask for help, he would just be a puppet waiting to die.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang suddenly admired himself as the mistress.

Since he was reborn on this body, the opponent has made moves several times.

Such as collecting rent in advance, and emptying the warehouse, and drugging myself so that I have no chance to have offspring.

If it were the previous Yang Guang, he probably would have been dealt with badly if he hadn't been poisoned to death.

Yang Guang shook his head and asked: "That is to say, I need to produce seeds and tools, and I still can't get the rent this year?"

"Then how much is the general rent, and if I don't come out, how much do I need to refund?"

Steward Zhang said: "Master, we are living rents like tenants. You provide seeds and tools, and tenants provide labor and fertilizer. After autumn, you will get [-]% of the income."

Just produce the ground and seed tools, and then wait at home without doing anything, and you can have [-]% of the harvest.

Yang Guang called it a good guy, no wonder everyone wants to fight the landlord.

If he is a tenant, he probably has already started thinking about how to beat the local tyrants.

Here Yang Guang was shocked, while Zhang Guanshi continued: "This is a living rent. If it is a temporary rent, you only need to pay the land, and the rest will be paid by the tenants."

"In terms of rent collection, it is generally 1 shi and 3 buckets of grain per mu of land. The harvest will not change regardless of the famine, and the time will not be less than one bucket."

"The Zhuangzi under your name has a total of 280 mu of fields. The maximum yield per mu of land is 3 shi, which is 840 shi in total, and 588% of living rent is [-] shi."

"If you don't provide good seeds and tools now, then you need to pay 1 shi and 3 buckets per mu for the dead rent, which is 364 shi. In this way, you need to refund the rent of 224 shi."

It doesn't sound like much, only 224 stones, but if the stones here are converted, one stone is equal to one hundred catties.

In other words, if he does not produce seeds and tools now, he will need to return more than 2 catties of grain.

More than 2 catties, he, he can really take it out, but why should he take it?

Wouldn't it be nice to keep it for yourself?Isn't it just seeds and tools? Do you still want to stump him?

After confirming the seeds, Yang Guang said: "I will find a way, don't worry, by the way, you said before that you have to pay taxes, so tell me how much you have."

With the idea of ​​not biting if there are too many lice, and not worrying about too many debts, Yang Guang asked Guanshi Zhang to calculate the tax as well.

Guanshi Zhang silently calculated, and then said: "According to the grain tax of three buckets per mu, you need to pay 84 shi for grain tax. Of course, you can also replace it with silver money, but..."

It's just that he didn't say anything, but Yang Guang also knew what he meant, and he didn't have any money.

After wiping his hands, Yang Guang said, "Okay, I know all these things. In this way, Guanshi Zhang, you call all the farmers, and I will tidy up and make arrangements for them."

Seeing that Yang Guang was finally about to start making arrangements, Steward Zhang nodded in relief and left.

In his opinion, even if Yang Guang can't solve the matter, he will go back and report to the master later, and he believes that the master will not sit idly by.

What is needed is Yang Guang's courage to stand up and take responsibility. If he is not willing to stand up, what else is there to say?

On the threshing ground of Xiaoyangzhuang, more than a dozen families gathered together, waiting for their owner to arrange this year's spring plowing.

"Old Uncle Tian, ​​what do you think the new owner is going to do? Other villages have already started to plow the land to plant crops, and we haven't even made any movement."

"Don't talk, the boss naturally has the arrangement of the boss. You are a farmer, just wait at ease. Anyway, the rent has been paid. If you don't arrange it, you will earn it. What are you worried about?"

Old Uncle Tian, ​​who seemed to be quite prestigious, was surrounded by a group of young people and asked questions.

Hearing the young people's complaints, Old Tian Shu gave them a lesson.

The young people also suddenly realized, yes, the rent has been paid. If there is no arrangement, not only will they have to pay the rent, but they will also own whatever they grow in the field this year.

This is a good thing!

As a result, a group of young people hoped that the new owner had better forget about them so that they could earn more.

However, their wish was clearly in vain.

It didn't take long for Zhang Zhushu to gather them together, and Yang Guang walked briskly to the threshing floor.

Manager Zhang has already set up a stage, which is quite formal.

"Boss, we're all here, just waiting for your arrangement, please." Steward Zhang came to Yang Guang and said respectfully.

He invited Yang Guang to the front of the stage without any hassle. When he was at home, he was called Young Master, but because of the prestige of Young Master outside, he called him Master.

To show that he is the owner of Xiaoyang Village and the owner of all the tenants.

Sure enough, after Guanshi Zhang finished speaking, everyone below shouted, "Hi, my boss!"

Almost subconsciously, Yang Guang waved to them and said, "Hello folks, you have worked hard."

A group of tenants looked at me and I looked at you, but they just didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this situation, Lao Tian shook his head, stood up and said, "It's all thanks to the master's blessing. Being able to have a stable meal is not a word of hard work. The master is going to arrange for me to wait for the farming today?"

Yang Guang nodded and said, "That's right, I'm here today to make arrangements for the folks."

"It is said that you know more about cultivation than I do, but this time I also have some new ideas. I just want to discuss it with you and see if it is feasible."

"This time, I plan to use half of the land on the Zhuangzi to grow food, and the other half to grow vegetables."

"As for the rent, everyone has already paid, so the harvest is your own. If I want to take it, I will spend money to buy it. Are you willing?"

Chapter 9 The first step starts with farming

Half of the arable land is used to grow food and half to grow vegetables?

This decision made most of the tenants in Xiaoyangzhuang unacceptable, and everyone wished to plant crops even in the crevices of the rocks.

Now they have to reduce half of the arable land to grow vegetables, of course they don't want to.

Where are vegetables usually grown?The open space in front of the house or behind the house, or the hillside land that is not convenient for cultivation.

In short, where they can grow food, they are unwilling to grow other things.

Originally, the rent collection in advance this time has already exhausted their savings. If they can no longer grow food, will they be able to live with their belts tight for the next year?

However, the tenants didn't make any noise, instead they all looked at one person, Old Uncle Tian!

Seeing that everyone was looking at this person, Yang Guang knew that this was probably a more prestigious person in Zhuangzi, as long as this person was settled, there was no need to worry about other people's opposition.

Lao Tian did not disappoint and said, "Accordingly, we should have followed the boss's arrangement. It's just that the old lady of the boss's family came to collect the rent in advance, and now the food left by each household is not much."

"For the first half of the year, it's okay to live by tightening your belt, but if you don't grow crops in the fields and don't have enough food in the second half of the year, you'll be starving."
