The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife

"How much silver per acre?"

The boss of the dental shop knew there was something fishy going on when he heard this, and he immediately replied, "Three taels of silver per mu, the good farmland is five taels per mu, and the mountain is half sold and half given away, so it's also one hundred taels."

Yinuo asked about the price again, and the pawnbroker asked for one hundred taels, which was not expensive.

Gu Yun pulled Yinuo aside and called housekeeper Yang.

Butler Yang is very familiar with the prices in Pengcheng. He is also a servant of the Gu family. He was brought here and promoted to be the butler when Gu Yun got married. He is very loyal to Gu Yun and his wife and will tell them everything he knows.

The three of them discussed it for a while before saying to the boss of the pawnbroker, "We'll take all of them. Seven hundred taels of silver. Go and negotiate with the owner."

The dental shop owner bowed his head and smiled and replied, "Sir, this price is very fair. I will contact the main family to handle the formalities."

At this price, after deducting the errand fee, the pawnbroker boss can still make at least fifty taels. The client will also give him an intermediary fee, so all together he can make a hundred taels.

Earning one hundred taels in an afternoon is a great deal.

He smiled and prepared to return to the city with Butler Yang and Lawyer Xu.

"Oh, how can I live in the future?"

At this time, a forty-year-old farmer carrying an iron hoe, followed by three young men, passed by them with dusty faces.

Seeing these people dressed in extraordinary clothes, he stopped in his tracks.

The old farmer who was in the lead took one look at the owner of the dental clinic and his brows relaxed.

When Yinuo heard the voices, he looked back and immediately saw that they were all farmers. They looked at him in a subtle way, as if they wanted to ask for something.

The boss of the dental shop was quite familiar with these things. He whispered, "These are the farmers employed by the previous owners. Now that the fields are being sold, they naturally have no jobs."

In ancient times, farmers, in addition to their own land distributed by the court, also rented land from wealthy families for farming. Due to the heavy taxes, almost all the rice grown on the allocated land had to be turned in, and not a single grain was left. In the event of drought, farmers even had to pay out of pocket.

The land of the landlords was very expensive, and in addition to rent, they had to be given food every year. But if they didn't rent, they would basically have no surplus food and could not even get enough food.

Yinuo asked, "Do they all live nearby?"

The boss of the dental shop nodded and said, "It's in a village downstream, about ten kilometers from here, not far."

Since they want to buy land and grow crops, they will definitely need people in the future. These are all poor people, and the dental shop owner doesn't want these people to lose their income. Life in this world is not easy for anyone.

The two men were talking, and the farmers heard them, so they bravely came over.

The old farmer who led the group bowed to Yinuo and Gu Yun and begged, "Are you going to buy this farmland?"

"I wonder if you are in need of any help? If you are, could you consider us? We are hard-working and good at farming. We farmed the land of the owner in front of us, and the yield is good."

The old farmer's heart was beating fast when he said this, because most of the wealthy families liked to sign death contracts and sell their servants. Many fields were directly signed to farmers to let them cultivate the land. Even if they were hired, not many people were needed.

Yinuo couldn't bear to see such pitiful people. Anyway, they also needed to hire someone to grow vegetables, and it was also appropriate to ask nearby farmers to grow vegetables. So he glanced at Gu Yun, and Gu Yun nodded to Butler Yang.

"Uncle, we do need people, but we won't rent them out. We will hire people, and we need a lot of them."

"You can ask our butler."

Butler Yang immediately pulled the old farmer aside.

When they returned to the manor, they had just signed a contract with the owner of the dental clinic under the witness of Lawyer Xu, and Butler Yang had already returned with the employment contract.

"Madam, Miss Yi, we have reached an agreement with the farmers. We will pay them 500 coins a month and hire them to work in the fields. We have 150 acres of land and have hired 20 people from Xiahe Village."

Five hundred coins a month is really a lot of money. Most farmers can't save one or two ounces of silver a year. Now they can just do their job and get monthly wages without taking any risks themselves. It is much better than renting farmland for planting crops before.

After housekeeper Yang talked with them, everyone in the village rushed to sign up. In the end, it was the village head who arranged it, one person per household, and there was no competition.

Yinuo couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Butler Yang, his efficiency was really amazing.

Butler Yang took Lawyer Xu and the boss of the dental clinic back to the city, and Gu Yun also took Yinuo and the others back to their own farm.

Just as I passed by Yinuo and her family's former home, I saw Huqin just going out.

"Hey, Madam Gu, Madam Yi, why are you here?"

Gu Yun and Yinuo asked the three children to say hello to Hu Qin.

"Hello, aunt!"

Huqin's heart melted when she looked at the three well-behaved and obedient children in front of her.

"Hello, your tutor is really good."

Zhou Qi, who was standing by, didn't need Hu Qin to tell him to do so. He also took the initiative to greet Gu Yun and the others: "Hello, auntie!"

Gu Yun immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

"Madam Qin, have you had your meal yet?"

"If you haven't yet, let's go together?"

Huqin immediately shook her head: "It's not that fast."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Yun. Our meal has just been prepared. We will eat when my husband comes back."

Yinuo was very fond of Huqin, who was very measured in her actions, so she asked directly, "Sister Qin, have you made a decision about the matter I mentioned to you the other day?"

Hu Qin smiled and said, "Of course there are. We all want to help you raise them."

"It's difficult to raise them on your own, but I hope you can hire us. We are all good at raising chickens and ducks."

Yinuo smiled. Look, they are all honest people, even their self-promotional words are the same.

"That's what we're here for today."

"Sister Qin, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, could you please notify everyone and come over to discuss this?"

This was offering them jobs and money, so how could Huqin not agree? She immediately said that she would invite everyone to meet them at the farm after lunch.

The three of them chatted for a long time until the men went home for lunch, and then they were willing to leave.

Today, the servants of the manor were cooking, so Yang Fei brought Teng Ke back to the manor to have dinner together and asked about their business.

The two women spent so much money in one morning without blinking an eye, and during the meal they told the two men about their plans and progress in a clear and logical manner.

Seeing them talking endlessly, the two men smiled helplessly.

Women, when they have a career, men are really nothing in their eyes.

Teng Ke seemed to understand that the women in the imperial court of the capital were scheming against each other all day long because they had nothing to do. If they were all like his wife, busy making money and pursuing their dreams, how could they have time to be jealous?

In comparison, my wife is really good, a very lively woman.
