Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

The moonlight was like water, and the weather in August was getting cooler at night. Several people sat in the main room and began to discuss the affairs of the farm.

I'm new here. Yesterday, that bastard Mr. Wang did something wrong as soon as we entered the manor, which prevented me from properly understanding the situation of this manor.

I have been here for an afternoon, but I am still completely clueless. I have no idea what is going on, and I need to find someone to help me understand.

If you want to understand the situation, the most suitable candidates now are Zi Su and her daughter.

"Zi Su, come here for a moment. Do you know the situation on this farm?"

"Madam, there is nothing here that I don't understand. Madam, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. Even if I don't know, you can always ask my mother!" Zi Su, who had been silent on the side, heard me ask her and quickly answered.

"Okay, then call your mother over and get to know some of the situation first."

Zi Su left quickly to find her mother.

Uncle Mo and Su Chen were drinking the water boiled by Zi Su at the side. They chatted casually, "It looks like the harvest on the farm is pretty good this year."

"It should be OK. The rice in the fields looks pretty pleasing."

"Today is the fifth day of August, so we can harvest in the next few days. Judging from the weather, it shouldn't rain."

…. I looked at these two people who were so relaxed and carefree in silence. I simply lowered my head and ignored them.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the house, and then Zi Su came in with her mother, followed by a tall old man.

As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to me and said, "Old Cao greets the Madam."

"Who is this?"

"Madam, this is a tenant working in the house. He has also been the tenant here the longest. I was afraid that there are things we don't know, so I specially called him here as well. It's convenient for you, Madam, to ask him questions." Zhang replied.

"Zi Su, bring two stools and ask them to sit down. Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to know the specific situation in the manor. Since you are here, tell me about it."

"Madam, this farm has a total of 100 acres of land, all planted with rice, and produces about 137 kilograms of rice every year. When I first came, the rent of the farm was three and a half floors, but then Wang Kui came, the Master Wang you see today. Since he came, the rent has increased to five floors. It has been collected until now. There are a total of 32 people in the farm now, from 30 households. Two households followed Master Wang away today. There are households left. As for the vegetables and fruits eaten by the people in the farm, they are planted in the vacant land and can be picked and eaten as needed. Madam, do you have any other questions?" Old Man Cao answered seriously.

"Uncle Cao, you explained it very clearly. Are there frequent quarrels and fights in the farm? Has anyone ever died?"

"Madam, if there are quarrels, there are some, but no fights have happened yet. Basically, Wang Kui is bullying the people here unilaterally. But he doesn't dare to go too far. Basically, he lends money at high interest rates, and the interest is compounded so that people can't pay it back, but he still hasn't done anything to take people's lives."

"Whose family in the village grows the most crops? Whose family has the largest population?" Uncle Mo suddenly interrupted.

"My dear, if you ask who has the most crops, it's my family, which has 12 mu of crops. We also have the largest population, 11 people in total, four sons and three daughters. We have no choice but to rent more crops. But even so, it's still difficult to make ends meet. Life is hard!" Mr. Cao's face was full of helplessness. He was filled with the vicissitudes of life. It was inexplicably sad to see.

Maybe I can reduce the rent a little. Fifty percent is really too much. No wonder life seems so difficult for farmers here.

Thinking of the farm in the town, I only collected 35% of the rent. Should I consider charging the same as the farm there? Don't worry, I should discuss it with Su Chen and Mo Su first. See if it is feasible! If there are no other things and rules, it's okay to charge less.

Having asked this, I have already understood the general situation, and what remains is to see how to arrange it.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Cao for today. You can go back first, and we can talk tomorrow if there is anything else."

After seeing off Uncle Cao, I sent Zi Su and her daughter to rest. I decided to discuss this with Uncle Mo and Su Chen to see if there is anything else I need to pay attention to. If there is, I will know it sooner and understand it sooner, and I will also be prepared.

Su Chen and Uncle Mo were still drinking boiled water, and they couldn't figure out whether drinking so much water would make their stomachs bloated and uncomfortable. They just held a cup of tea or water, just like modern people. Hehehe.

I quickly dismissed the idea from my mind and asked them, "Do you think I should change the rent of this farm to three and a half floors, the same as over there? If I change it, will it affect other regulations?

After all, this is a gift from the Emperor, so it's better to be careful."

Uncle Mo nodded. "After the ownership of the land deed is changed, this farm belongs to you completely. You have the right to make changes to everything here. It will not affect or involve other things. If you want to reduce the rent, you can decide for yourself."

Su Chen waited for Uncle Mo to finish speaking before he spoke up, "Boss, this farm is a little far away after all. Don't you think about finding someone from here to manage it? Even if something is not handled in time, if there is someone here to manage it, nothing will go wrong."
