If it was the troubled times of the last generation, the tenant farmers would be even more miserable, they could not even receive half of the CD, they worked hard for a year, and they could only drink wild vegetables and multigrain porridge for most of the month, and they could not even eat this.

Later, when Emperor Taizu was fighting the world, the proportion of the division between the owner and the tenant was adjusted, and the rent collected by the owner should not exceed three and a half percent at most.

Moreover, Emperor Taizu stipulated this provision in the form of a national law, sacrificing to the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, and promising the people of the world that future generations will never change!

For this one, the people of the world gathered to respond, and the peasant army that came to defect to Emperor Taizu reached hundreds of thousands in just one month!

It can be said that it is precisely by virtue of this iron law that Emperor Taizu has gained the hearts of the people in the world before he has won the world.

You must know that although the overlap of political power is a contest game between the upper nobles, the root cause is the small people who exist like ants in their eyes.

Without a foundation, no matter how tall the pavilion is, it cannot escape the fate of collapse.

If anyone has read Emperor Taizu's diary and knows simplified Chinese, they will know that Emperor Taizu quite complacently called this "the countryside surrounding the city" and "letting the enemy fall into the vast sea of the common people"......

Besides, after Qiao Xiaoru signed the lease contract with the tenants, they were relieved to each other.

A total of 56 acres of fertile land, even if the poor yield per mu is 3560 catties, the good ones can have 400 catties up a little, and they can collect more than 6,000 catties a year just by collecting rent, and the problem of eating can be completely solved, and it is more than enough to sell some surplus money.

Qiao Xiaoru glanced at them, and said with a smile: "By the way, I plan to sort out all those mountain bamboo forests, cut down and dig all those bamboo and peach forests, and clean up the shrubs and miscellaneous trees in the field, and I am about to hire someone to do it, are you interested?" ”

It's the farming season now, and there is no other work, most of the time is idle, and many people go to the city to do part-time work!

It's just that this short-term job is not something you can do if you say it, it depends on luck, bad luck, and you can't get a job for ten days and a half months.

Therefore, the vast majority of people can only envy those who have short-term jobs and can only stay at home.

The tenants exchanged glances with each other, their eyes lit up, and they all nodded and smiled: "Of course I do!" ”

One person asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the owner, how much is the daily salary?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Everyone was more focused, nodded in agreement, and looked at Qiao Xiaoru together.

Qiao Xiaoru recognized it at a glance, this person was the one he asked for the rent when he first came that day, his name was Liu Sanxi.

Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but laugh a little, and was also a little helpless: this thing, I want to dig a pit for her to jump again! People who are a little clever and like to show off their cleverness are the most hateful!

At least Qiao Xiaoru doesn't like this kind of person in her heart.

But who told these tenants to be the head of him?

Qiao Xiaoru didn't intend to take care of other people's private morality, to put it bluntly, this is just a farm that can't be called a farm, he is a small landlord who can't be smaller, and he is just a tenant.

If she can't even control such a person, she won't want to be famous in this era!

Qiao Xiaoru glanced at Liu Sanxi with a smile, and smiled at the tenants: "Cleaning up the bamboo forest and peach forest, including cutting down and transporting the trees, digging up the roots, and cleaning up the weeds and weeds and shrubs inside, is a total of thirty taels of silver, which can be regarded as a gift from me to everyone!" However, I ask that it be done by November 10th. ”

The reason why I say the greeting gift is because it doesn't cost thirty taels of silver to clean up these tasks.

"Thirty taels!"

"So much!"

Liu Sanxi's eyes also brightened, and he glanced at Qiao Xiaoru quietly, without squeaking.

Qiao Xiaoru didn't see his scrutiny, and when the excited chatter of the tenants quieted down, he continued with a smile: "You can do as many people as you think are suitable, you can divide the silver yourself, just launch a leading division of labor arrangement, I only look for this leader when I go back, I only ask for it to be completed on time!" ”

At the end, he added: "As long as you do it well, as long as you remember that I am your owner, my owner will not treat you badly!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's nature!"

"Where can you not remember the owner!"

Everyone laughed together, and they were still a little dizzy and excited to be smashed by thirty taels of silver.

Liu Sanxi's heart jumped, and he had two scruples for no reason, and vaguely felt that the owner's words seemed to be specially said to himself.

But soon, Liu Sanxi calmed down again: He's okay, isn't he? It's just a few words, how can the owner not do it because of this!

"The owner, we have done this work, please rest assured! We will definitely do it by the tenth day of next month! Liu Sanxi came out of the crowd and said politely to Qiao Xiaoru.

At this time, he didn't dare to play any tricks anymore, for fear of flying the thirty taels of silver.

"So you're the leader?" Qiao Xiaoru smiled.

"Yes, the owner!" Liu Sanxi nodded without thinking about it, and the others also had calm expressions.

Qiao Xiaoru didn't take Qiao either, nodded and said, "Okay, then that's it!" When I go back, I will give you ten taels of silver first, and the remaining twenty taels will be given when I am finished. However, I like to write in black and white, so you can go to Luan Village to find someone who can write! ”

Liu Sanxi was more relieved when he heard this, and the person who wrote the note was found by his own people, so he was not afraid that the owner would play tricks. However, Liu Sanxi wanted to sell Qiao Xiaoru a face, so he smiled and said: "Look at the owner's words!" We all heard what the owner said, and naturally trusted the owner, this is black and white, hehe, it's not necessary! ”

Qiao Xiaoru shook her head, her tone was light but her attitude was firm and unquestionable, and she smiled: "This is my habit!" ”

Liu Sanxi couldn't insist on anything more when she heard her say this, so she had to nod with a smile. But in my heart, I have completely understood: this proprietor looks thin and small, a young daughter-in-law, but she has ideas and abilities, and no one can handle it!

Fortunately, this owner is also a generous person, and he will never suffer if he works hard.

At least for now, Liu Sanxi no longer dares to think about anything else.

Qiao Xiaoru said again: "You guys do a good job, there is other work after you finish it!" In addition to the bamboo forest and peach forest, the other shrubs and weeds on the wasteland must also be cleaned up, do you know which people in Luan Village work honestly and reliably, tell me four or five like this! ”

When everyone heard that Qiao Xiaoru was going to hire people from Luan Village to work, where would they let the fertilizer water flow into other people's fields? They all said that they would definitely be able to finish the work before the tenth day of the next month, and then they would continue to do it!
