Chapter 1717

The housekeeper quickly arranged things, and Xu Tianyu and the others also had a hot meal.

After Xu Tianyu was full, the housekeeper didn't leave, and kept waiting there.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Tianyu asked.

"Master, there is a little thing. The wheat that was planted in the fields around our manor has already been harvested. Those farmers asked us if we should continue to plant wheat."

"Now how many fields are still in use, how many farmers are there, how are those farmers treated, and how is the wheat harvest."

Xu Tianyu didn't answer, but asked instead.

The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Only less than half of the fields outside the manor are in use, because there is a shortage of farmers, and the Baron of Brighton didn't need to plant so many fields before, and the other fields are all abandoned. stage."

"Because our fields are not very high-quality, and this year's weather is not very good, the harvest of all wheat is not very good. There are only about 500 kilograms of wheat in each field."

"What, so few?" Xu Tianyu was a little surprised, he had seen Tiandi when he came here.

The length and width are about 100 meters. It is reasonable to say that due to the influence of the climate, there is no problem with 1,000 kilograms. If the harvest is good, 5,000 kilograms will definitely not be difficult.

But now from the housekeeper's mouth, there are only 500 kilograms, which is really too little.

Hearing Xu Tianyu's tone was wrong, the butler quickly knelt down, "My lord, they are all those untouchables who don't work hard, that's why the output is so low. I will punish them severely when I go back."

Xu Tianyu looked at the housekeeper with deep meaning, "How was the treatment of farmers before?"

"Come back, master, 90% of the grain produced by each of their fields must be handed over to the manor."

"No wonder." Xu Tianyu understood, 90% of the profit, leaving one layer, I am afraid that those farmers who can't even fill their own stomachs can seriously help you work, then there is something wrong.

"Housekeeper, go gather those peasants, I'm going to meet them, by the way, have you sent the gold coins I asked you to distribute?"

When Xu Tianyu asked, the cold sweat on the butler's forehead became more intense.

"Master...not yet. I...want to see if there is anyone who wants to leave before putting it down. It is still sorting out, so the gold coins are still with me."

"Ha ha……"

Xu Tianyu sneered a few times, and Bambir, who was next to him, felt Xu Tianyu's intentions, grabbed the butler directly, and dragged him outside.

"Master, listen to my analysis. I really don't mean to take it for myself. I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had a hundred chances."

The butler said pleadingly, but Xu Tianyu was unmoved, and followed him out, thinking about the farmland outside.

He made it clear before that the 500 gold coins, and the rest will belong to the butler, and if the butler wants to get more gold coins, he will definitely drive the others away.

"Hey." Xu Tianyu also knew that he had done a stupid thing. Sure enough, human nature is nothing compared to interests.

"Sean, you thought you were the steward of this manor." Xu Tianyu said lightly, he doesn't trust outsiders now.

"Yes, son." Thain agreed directly. Anyway, the butler is just directing others to work, and it is not difficult for him.

The place where farmers live is not in the manor, but between the fields, they built some small houses.
