Chapter 82: Request for unchanged rent
Upon hearing this, everyone was worried before they could even be happy.
Zhang Daniu looked at the others, then asked anxiously, "Boss, what is your request?"
"I'll decide what to plant, and I'll also provide the seeds." Xiao Li had already thought about this matter. "You just need to follow the method I give you."
"This... Boss, can you let us go back and think about it carefully?" Although Zhang Daniu is the head of the family, it is not easy for him to decide such matters alone.
The others were no exception, and each of them suggested going back to discuss it with their families.
Only one strong man in his thirties stood out. He was the first to agree. "Boss, I can do what you ask, but may I know what you want to plant?"
Zhang Daniu saw that he was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth and said nothing.
When Xiao Li made this request, he had already thought about the questions they would ask, so he nodded calmly, "Okay, I want to grow three kinds of crops, namely sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
Sweet potatoes can mature in four to five months, with an annual yield of 30 to 70 dan per mu. In addition to being eaten when ripe, people can also eat the leaves themselves, and the excess vines can be used to feed livestock.
As for potatoes, they can mature in two to three months, or four to five months at the longest. The yield per mu is between 17 and 60 stone. I want you to plant the kind that can be harvested the fastest.
The yield of corn per mu is between five and sixteen dan, and it matures in about three months. It can be eaten by humans or used to feed livestock.
At first, everyone was confused, but after hearing him talk about the yield and the time it takes to mature...
Everyone:! ! !
The man was very excited. "Boss, are you telling the truth? Can you really harvest that much sweet potatoes and potatoes from one acre?"
As for corn, which sounded like a similar harvest to grain, Zhang Shitou simply ignored it.
After all, compared to sweet potatoes and potatoes, that little harvest is nothing.
Xiao Li nodded and gave him an affirmative answer, "It's true, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Boss, can I grow potatoes?" Zhang Shitou's face turned red with excitement. He looked at him with anticipation and nervousness, afraid that he would refuse.
"Sure." This was his original intention. He glanced at the others and said, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
It’s best to resolve this kind of situation where a lot of people come to your door at once to avoid it happening again.
Instead of wasting that much time, he might as well accompany his young husband to read and write, and then ask Bao Ge'er to practice calligraphy with him.
With Zhang Daniu and Zhang Shitou taking the lead, the others seemed to be bolder and started to speak one after another.
Because of his strong mental strength, Xiao Li could actually hear clearly what each of them said, but...
"Don't be impatient, come one by one." He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Upon seeing this, those who had good sense quickly quieted down, and those who didn't also gradually quieted down after being reminded by others.
When Lu Yuan, Xiao Laosan and the others arrived, they saw that everyone was quiet and were confused.
They were just hearing a lot of noise, but how come everyone was silent after just a few steps?
Their appearance broke the silence, and everyone quickly asked questions one by one according to their distance. Basically, all of their questions were related to their own families and were similar to Zhang Shitou's questions.
After answering a few questions, Xiao Li stopped the person who was about to speak, and swept his dark, cold eyes over everyone, "Don't ask the same question again, my answer is always the same.
You can choose what to plant yourself, and report your selection to the village head, who will then report it to me. I will distribute the seeds according to the size of the fields you rent."
"Boss, we..." Zhang Daniu hesitated for a while, "We don't have a village head in our village."
Upon hearing this, not only Xiao Li, but even Xiao Lao San and the others were stunned.
Generally, there is a village head on a farm. He may be sent by the owner of the farm or directly selected from the tenants. He is responsible for conveying messages and supervising between the owner and the tenants, etc.
This was almost a matter of convention. Yu Qingshan did not mention the matter of the head of the village, so Xiao Li thought that this village had a head of the village.
Hearing them say there was no village head, he tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Then how did you keep in touch with Qingshan Temple in the past? Did you all go to the temple whenever something happened?"
Even if everyone didn't want to admit it, they had to admit the slightly disdainful tone: the new owner was very disgusted with the fact that they came to the house together.
"That's right, but we are not going to Qingshan Temple, but here. Basically, a Taoist priest comes here to visit every few days." Zhang Daniu looked embarrassed.
The Taoist priests were all very easy to talk to, unlike the owners of other farms who wanted the tenant farmers to do all the work, otherwise they would not rent the land to them.
Xiao Li: “…” It turns out that more people means easier work.
According to Yu Qingshan, there are more than a hundred people in Qingshan Temple, which is more than ten times their number. Even if they send people to keep an eye on this matter in shifts every day, it will take more than three months.
There are ten people in their family in total. Excluding Shen Congzhou, who was often sent out to work by himself, and the women and brothers, there are only four people available in their family, including himself.
Xiao Li didn't intend to waste time on these trivial matters, and directly appointed Niu Dahe as the village head. "He will be the village head from now on. I will let him inform you if there is anything. If you have any matters, discuss them privately first, and then send a few people to talk to the village head."
"I understand, Boss." Everyone responded, and then looked at Niu Dahe and sized him up.
"My name is Niu Dahe. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me." When Niu Dahe was a manager in a wealthy family, he had dozens of people under him. Although there are a lot more people here now, he will definitely not lose the young master's trust in him!
The tenant farmers' clothes were basically patched up and short, making them convenient for working.
Although Niu Dahe was also wearing shorts, there was not a single patch on his body, and the fabric was of excellent fine cotton.
The shorts they wore were made of cotton, linen, or fine linen if they were better, or even coarse linen if they were worse, which would rub against their skin.
She is a servant in the boss's house, but she lives a more decent life than them. It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.
Everyone looked at him with envy, saying in unison, "Niu Zhuangtou is great."
"Hello everyone," Niu Dahe took the initiative to take on the task of communicating with everyone. Soon he asked Xiao Li for instructions, and then went to see how the crops planted by the tenant farmers were growing.
Xiao Li and his companions returned to their own yard. He watched the two little brothers study, left them with the task of practicing calligraphy, and then went outside the yard to plow the soil and plant vegetables with Xiao Lao San and his companions.
