Boss-gege Excessive Spoiling Chapter 649: A peasant girl who doesn’t want to be the number one scholar is not a good princess (11)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update, quickly wear the scumbag: Brother BOSS, indulge in the latest chapter!
After the emperor's grandfather became a man, he enfeoffed people on a large scale and all those with military exploits were promoted.
Now that more than ten years have passed, no matter how good you are, you can't escape even a fifth or sixth grade.
Why do my wife and children live in a remote village?
Could it be that there is something hidden in it...
A cold light flashed in Jin Wenting's eyes——
The next moment, the cold light in his eyes was abruptly dispersed.
Tong Su put her hand on the top of his head and rubbed it quickly!
The wolf cub is young and has soft, furry fur.
She used a little more force and rubbed his ears in. The fur on the top of his head was pushed forward with great force, and the little wolf cub's entire face wrinkled!
"Ouch——"
Seeing the little wolf cub getting angry and turning to bite her wrist, Xia's mother was startled just as she laughed. Fortunately, Tong Su hid quickly and he didn't bite her. His teeth were sharply moved, and a sound was heard in the air. A sound.
"So fierce?" The girl raised her eyebrows and rubbed his ears harder.
"Ouch!"
Xia Mu said: "It is still small now and doesn't eat much. But when it grows up, how can we afford to feed it meat every day?"
Complaints are complaints, and the love and care for the wolf cubs cannot be faked.
Jin Wenting heard their conversation before and mentioned that her father who passed away left several acres of land, didn't he?
Why can't they, mother and daughter, have enough to eat?
However, he did not expect that when this topic was brought up, Tong Su's movements of stroking his back slowed down, obviously feeling uncomfortable.
Xia's mother looked worried: "Your father left six acres of land in the village. He had always hired people to farm it, and his rent was the lowest among the surrounding landlords - only three floors. But after his accident, those tenants They want to bully our family and they want to reduce the 30% rent to 15%, otherwise they will not farm anymore!"
This is taking advantage of the situation!
With today's planting technology, one acre of land can be harvested for about one stone, and one stone is worth ten bushels. Each stone can be sold for about twenty taels of silver.
The tenants pay three dou as rent, but the landlord also pays one dou in tax. His family’s income per mu is no more than two dou. Six acres add up to one stone and two dou, which can only be sold for twenty-four taels!
After winter wheat, some millet and beans will be planted, but these are for food. After deducting the cost, Lin Lin finally calculates that the annual income from six acres of land is only about ten taels.
This is still a lucky situation where the year is good and there are no natural or man-made disasters.
Nowadays, tenants mostly pay 40 to 50% of the rent. Only Xia's father was kind. He thought that he was a farmer back then and rented the land to the villagers at a low price.
——But he didn't expect that he sympathized with the villagers. After he died, those people had no sympathy at all for the wife and children he left behind.
Xia Mu said worriedly: "Your brother was angry when he was here, and he broke the employment contract with them in anger... Now, those six acres of land were planted with winter wheat before, but we are just waiting for the next spring. Who can we find?" Going to plant?"
Tong Su has seen the plot and naturally knows that those tenants came up with this idea because they were instigated by Uncle Xia and Uncle Xia.
She only pays 1.5% of the rent per acre, but the land tax is still paid by the landlord. Her family can only keep half a bushel of wheat per acre, so how can they have enough to eat!
Those people felt that the orphans and widowed mothers were bullying them because they were all from the city, and they couldn't bear to argue with them, so they agreed half-heartedly.
Just.
The original owner and Xia’s mother were the ones who refused to argue with them out of concern for their dignity, but Tong Su didn’t care!
She simply said: "It is absolutely impossible to pay only 15%. Those tenants are bullies with great power. They caught the two of us unable to go to the fields and took advantage of us! Since they are unjust, we don't have to be kind! They don't Just forget about planting. Our family only charges three-tier rent. There are many people who are willing to plant our fields. Are we afraid that we can’t find tenants?"
