Chapter 54 Zhuangzi (2)

Going to the field, Chen Guanshi pointed to a paddy field and said, "Girl, those that grow the best are high-grade paddy fields, and the ones that are slightly inferior are medium-sized paddy fields." He talked about how to distinguish between good and bad paddy fields, and also talked about the difference between them.

Senior Yuxi had stayed in the village for more than a year, and knew a little about farming, so he couldn't help asking a few questions right now.

The work in the farm is the only thing Chen Guanshi can do, so naturally he won't be overwhelmed by the question, and the answer is very detailed, which makes Yuxi nod repeatedly.

Chen Guanshi felt strange in his heart, how could the girl know about the field in the deep boudoir all the time, he boldly said: "Young lady knows a lot."

Yuxi knew what Chen Guanshi was wondering about, and said with a smile: "I know this from books, and it's all on paper. It's nothing compared to Guanshi's experience passed down from ancestors."

Only then did Guanshi Chen feel relieved. It turned out that he read it from a book: "This book is really good. It even talks about farming."

Yu Xi smiled, but did not reply to Chen Guanshi's words.

It took half an hour to see the paddy fields, and the group walked to the foot of the mountain. Shang Yuxi asked about the land rent: "How much is the land rent here? Is it 50%?" For those big families in the capital The land rent is 50%. Under normal circumstances, everyone will charge 50%, but there are exceptions. For example, here, if it is charged at 50%, it is absolutely impossible for the steward to live in such a good house. Yuxi doesn't want to make special arrangements to reduce or exempt land rent, but she won't exploit tenants and increase their burden.

Chen Guanshi nodded and said: "The land rent of the Lu family used to be 60%. Because of the high yield per mu, even if 60% of these tenants rent land, there is still more than enough."

Yuxi said: "Don't compare with the Lu family, and be like others in the future, five or five points."

Chen Guanshi is honest and honest, and he still protects Yuxi's interests: "Girl, we will lose income in this way." If we collect rent according to Yuxi's law, it is tantamount to reducing our income by 10%! In fact, according to the laws of the Lu family, the tenants would not have any objections.

Yuxi looked at the paddy fields and said, "I'm not short of this money." When her predecessors lived in the village, she saw that the tenants lived in poverty, but it was a pity that she was powerless at that time. Now this property belongs to her, and she has the right to make decisions, so she wants to make these people's lives better as much as possible. Of course, this has to be within a reasonable range. If Shi Enduo, then it is not En, but thinking that she is too young to be fooled. Everything has to be taken care of.

Chen Guanshi saw that Yuxi had already made a decision, so he no longer had any objections.

A group of people soon arrived under the jujube tree. When I bought this land, it was said that there was a jujube tree and a chestnut tree,

Yuxi looked at the sparse jujube trees here, and asked, "How many jujube trees are there?" When she bought it, she felt that there would be water, and how many jujube trees would become a jujube forest, as expected. , are exaggerations.

Although Chen Guanshi has not been here for a long time, he is already very familiar with this place. After listening to Yuxi's words, he replied without thinking: "There are sixty-five jujube trees in total."

Yuxi knew that the Lu family had reported an imaginary number, which was a scam, and they reported five times more. The Lu family really wanted money and was shameless: "Where is the chestnut tree?"

Chen Guanshi said: "There are a total of 146 chestnut trees. Girl, besides chestnut trees and jujube trees, there are also many fir trees on the mountain. They all grow well and can be sold for a lot of money in a few years." Chen Guanshi I think it is a good deal for the girl to buy this mountain forest.

Yuxi didn't have any hope for this, even if there were fir trees, she probably didn't have many, so she asked casually, "How many fir trees are there?"

Chen Guanshi said very seriously: "Well, there is a large area. I roughly estimated that there are tens of thousands of trees. These fir trees grow very well, and they can be felled in at most ten years."

Yuxi was a little surprised, but Shanmu didn't make a false report, and she didn't lose a lot.

The sun hangs high in the air, and Yuxi is so hot that her whole body is wet. Zijin said cautiously: "Girl, it's hot, let's go back!" She was worried that the girl would suffer from heat stroke if she didn't go back.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Then go back!" No one dared to go up the mountain because of the miasma in Yuxi.

A group of people walked at the foot of the mountain, looking at the many wastelands around, Yuxi asked again: "Why aren't these wastelands being used?" It is absolutely possible to grow peanuts and other crops.

Shopkeeper Chen said: "At the foot of the mountain, there are many wild animals on the mountain. I'm worried that those animals will spoil me if I plant something."

Yu Xi knew that wild boars would waste food: "If there are wild boars and other business, then just ask someone to hunt them down. These wastelands should be planted with things, it would be a waste not to plant them."

Chen Guanshi nodded quickly: "The old slave will arrange it."

After turning around in a big circle, Yu Xi roughly knew it in her heart. When she returned to the village, she saw Mother Fang and Steward Meng waiting for her in the courtyard.

Yuxi specially called Mother Fang and Guanshi Meng to come over to negotiate with Guanshi Chen about planting crops.

Bag shops and grocery stores need a lot of things, and they used to buy them. Since I bought this property, Ruozhuang has sent people directly to get what the store needs, such as melons and peanuts for the grocery store, and food and various vegetables for the package store. However, both Mother Fang and Steward Meng felt that if the farm was well utilized, it would save costs.

Yuxi changed her clothes, and said to the two of them, "Let's discuss after lunch." It was already noon, and she ate at this time.

The lunch was very rich, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised fish, glutinous rice ribs, steamed eggs, and several farm side dishes, which filled the table.

Yuxi lived in the Jiang family's village for more than a year before, and she didn't have any scruples. She ate two bowls of rice and ate a lot of food.

After lunch, Fang's mother and Meng Guanshi discussed with Chen Guanshi what kind of crops to plant.

Chen Guanshi acted very cautiously. He did not blindly agree to Fang's mother and Meng's request. Instead, he presented the actual situation and showed which crops could be grown. For example, peanuts and sunflowers could be grown, but some crops could not be grown. , For example, sesame and other farms cannot be planted.

Yuxi only listened from the side and didn't interrupt. The reason why she readily agreed to Fang's mother to open a grocery store was because she knew that there were many kinds of fresh food, such as bacon, sausage, and pickled vegetables. If you get the first chance, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. When she came to the village this time, she originally planned to let the tenants in the village raise more pigs, which would be used to make bacon and sausages at the end of the year. But hearing Hongshan say that the old lady thought she was very lucky made Yuxi raise her vigilance. If she produced fresh food as soon as she took over the village, I'm afraid it would arouse suspicion. The so-called abnormality is both a monster and a proper amount of good luck is enviable, but too much luck will arouse suspicion.

She now has a bag shop and a grocery store, plus the farm, so she can earn around a thousand taels a year, and she can't spend that much a year. There's no need to take risks for a little silver, it's not worth it. After much deliberation, Yu Xi still gave up making sausage and bacon.

After more than half an hour of discussion, an agreement was finally reached. Yuxi has been listening in without interrupting, her master is actually equivalent to a witness.

After negotiating with each other, Yuxi said: "Although the shop is mine, the exchange of goods between you must be the same as the previous purchases, and you will pay according to the price."

Chen Guanshi didn't understand that it was all the girl's property, so what kind of money would he give back for taking things from the village. It's a hassle to pay the money back and forth.

Yuxi has a good impression of Chen Guanshi, he is a down-to-earth person. Yuxi didn't take the trouble, and explained the meaning to her: "Although this property is mine, if you don't make it clear, it will be a mess at that time, and I won't be able to know what's in your hands. How much money does the property make?" If the finances are not separated, it will definitely be a mess at that time.

Chen Guanshi still didn't understand.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do what I tell you." Honest people have their benefits.

Meng Xiaofeng was secretly startled when he heard Yuxi's words, but he didn't expect the girl to think so clearly: "I listen to the girl, when the time comes, the shop will settle the bill with Zhuang once a month."

Yuxi nodded and said: "The bag shop is the same. In the future, a separate account will be established, and I will check it at the end of the year." Yuxi trusts her mother, but since they are all doing things, they have to be treated equally regardless of Affinity.

Mother Fang's face froze in an instant, not because she was dissatisfied with Yuxi's request, but because she couldn't read, how could she be accounted for if she couldn't read. It's just that she won't sweep Yuxi's face on this occasion.

Seeing that the color was almost gone, Shen's mother came in and urged Yuxi to go back quickly, otherwise the old lady would be the first to punish her.

Yuxi looked at Mother Fang and the others and said, "Go out first, I have something to say to Manager Chen."

After everyone went out, Yuxi said to Chen Guanshi: "Chen Guanshi, my aunt chose you to help me manage the village, and I trust you, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly. But if you make some mess Don't blame me for being merciless." Yuxi has a good impression of Chen Guanshi, but Chen Guanshi's eldest daughter-in-law is not easy to look at, Yuxi feels that she must beat and beat.

Chen Guanshi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely take care of the estate." He will definitely work hard, otherwise, if he loses this job, the marriage of the two children will be difficult.

Yuxi was a little helpless, it was good to be honest, but this reaction was also slow, but some words were not easy to understand. Enough is enough, her performance today is already extraordinary enough, she should take it easy now.

After leaving the house, when she was about to go back, Yuxi looked at the individual and said, "Whatever you want in the future, you can discuss it with each other, and just tell me after the discussion."

People nodded again and again. The First Daughter Rebirth (..)( The First Daughter Rebirth )
