Beast language level 10, all beasts obey her orders

Before Tian Youyou and Xiao Yao could do anything, two men rushed out and hurriedly dragged the man at the bottom into the house.

They poked their heads out to take a look, then slammed the door shut.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhaocai ran to the door and barked, "Open the door quickly, Youyou is the master of this manor."

"Zhaocai, come back." Tian Youyou called Zhaocai back and turned to look at the other little guys, "You guys go walk around. It's rare for you to go out, so run around."

In Xiaohegou Village, she required them to behave themselves, and they could only go to the mountains to act wild occasionally.

This time, there is wasteland all around, so they can roam freely.

The little guys obediently dispersed, but Xiao Jin was too lazy to run around, so he followed Tian Youyou.

Xiao Yao walked to the door, knocked on it, and shouted, "My girl is the new owner of Baiyun Manor, open the door quickly."

It was quiet inside the door. After a while, someone finally opened it.

The man only poked his head out and made sure that the beasts around Tian Youyou were gone before he asked cautiously, "Is it really the new owner?"

Tian Youyou took out the land deed and said, "The land deed is in my hand."

The man saw that there was only a chicken beside Tian Youyou and the other little guys were gone, so he carefully opened the door and walked out.

After looking at Tian Youyou's land deed, he extended his hand to invite Tian Youyou in, "Miss, please."

"Everyone, come out. This lady is the new owner of Baiyun Manor."

"Quick, call back the people in the fields."

"Just say that the master of our Baiyun Manor is here."

As they were talking, someone ran out.

The guide brought Tian Youyou and Xiao Yao to the front hall in the second courtyard.

He diligently wiped the chair with his sleeves and asked Tian Youyou and Xiao Yao to sit down.

"Wait a moment, young lady. The tenants from the farm will be here soon."

Tian Youyou turned her head to look at him. He was thin but strong, and his eyes revealed an indescribable shrewdness.

He had dark skin, wore a plain cloth robe, and had an old cloth belt around his waist.

"What about you? Are you a tenant, too?"

The man bowed, "My name is Zhang San, and I am also a tenant of Baiyun Manor."

"But I'm in charge."

"Well, the Li Dacheng who fainted just now is the manager, and Niu Feng who went out to call for help is also the manager."

Zhang San held up three fingers, "There are three managers in Baiyun Manor."

Tian Youyou recalled the people she saw working in the fields outside just now, there were probably only about ten people.

A dozen...three managers?

"How many tenants are there in Baiyun Manor?" Tian Youyou tapped the armrest of the chair.

She wanted a specific number. A dozen people were definitely not enough to cultivate 500 acres of land. At least fifty people were needed.

In this way, each person is responsible for ten acres of land, and one task can be completed in three or four days.

"There are still fifteen now." Zhang San replied.

It was pretty much what Wada Youyou expected.

“Is it always fifteen?”

When Zhang San heard this question, he was subconsciously stunned.

"Um, this..." He hesitated when answering the question, "No, no..."

Tian Youyou looked up at him.

Zhang San avoided her sight and said, "No, there were more people before."

"Later, uh, the original owner sold Baiyun Manor, and you never came, young lady."

"Many tenant farmers feared they would have no land to plant this year, so they rented land from other people."

“There are only fifteen households left.”

Baiyun Manor must have been a manor of some wealthy family before, and the people inside were tenants who rented the land to grow crops.

The relationship between tenants and their owners is very interesting.

Some people must be curious: when there are so many wastelands out there, why do tenants have to rent land to farm?

This brings us to the question of military service.

Reclaiming wasteland and cultivating the land is one solution, but the yield from cultivating the land is not high, and you won’t earn much money in the end even if you work very hard.

However, tenants were equivalent to workers registered under the name of the master, and the master could help them exempt from corvee labor.

This is more profitable for tenants than reclaiming wasteland and cultivating the land.

"Here they come, everyone is here." Niu Feng ran in shouting.

"Everyone is here."

Behind him, young and old, male and female, everyone's skin was tanned by years of sun and wind.

Tian Youyou's eyes swept over the tenants. They were all ragged and their faces were covered with traces of wind and frost and sweat.

When she saw them, Tian Youyou thought of Jiang Ao and felt deeply touched.

"This girl is the new owner of our Baiyun Manor. Everyone, come and pay your respects." Zhang San waved his hand.

Everyone looked up at Tian Youyou, the new owner, then knelt down and saluted in unison, "Hello, young lady."

Tian Youyou hurriedly asked them to stand up, "No need to be so polite."

Everyone stood up and lowered their heads.

Tian Youyou asked, "What are you doing recently?"

At the front of the crowd was an old man.

There were deep wrinkles on his face and he was wearing simple cloth clothes, with mud on his cuffs and trouser legs.

"Reply girl, we are plowing the soil recently and preparing to breed rice seeds and plant rice in the next two days."

Tian Youyou nodded in understanding and said, "Then you guys continue to till the soil these few days."

The old man hummed.

"Show me the land lease you signed with the previous owner of the manor."

The old man subconsciously looked at Zhang San.

Zhang San came up to Tian Youyou and took out a contract from his arms, "Miss, this is our old contract, take a look."

Tian Youyou looked at him suspiciously, then took the contract he handed over.

The deed stated that tenants had to hand over 60% of the grain to the owner of the land, and they could keep 40% for themselves.

Tian Youyou’s intuition was just too fake.

It would be reasonable to hand over at least 80% and keep 20% for yourself.

But Tian Youyou remained calm at this time and put the contract beside her.

"Since the owner of Baiyun Manor has become mine, we must sign a new lease on the land."

"Tomorrow I will go to the capital to meet a friend. When I come back, I will re-sign the lease for the land."

That night, Tian Youyou and Xiao Yao stayed at the farm and went to Cizhou Prefecture early the next morning.

Tian Youyou went to find Ling Xiang.

"Miss Tian." When Ling Xiang saw Tian Youyou, she jumped out excitedly.

"Miss Tian, ​​why are you here?" She rushed to Tian Youyou, "Oh, I was planning to go to Xiaohegou Village to find you in two days."

"What do you want from me?"

Ling Xiang took out a booklet and turned to a page. "There is a farm for sale outside the city recently. I think it is suitable for you."

"If you buy it now, you can still buy it in time for the spring plowing."

Tian Youyou took a look and found that this manor was not far from Baiyun Manor and covered an area of ​​300 acres.

"Buy it."

Ling Xiang shrank her neck and winked playfully, "I knew you would buy it."

"I'll do it for you right away."

Tian Youyou held her back and said, "Don't worry, I have something for you to look at."
