EBE Chapter 138 Contract
Chapter 138 Contract
Wang Ruixue thought about it in her mind and decided that it would be divided between 30% and 70%, the owner would get 70% and the tenant farmers would get 30%.
In addition, tenant farmers also have to pay grain taxes to the state, which is collected from 30% of the tenant farmers' wages, as well as poll taxes, corvee, etc. They also have to buy their own farm tools and seeds, and support their families.
Calculating this one by one, damn it, Wang Ruixue scolded her in her heart for not allowing others to live!
When you get sick or something, you don't even look down on the doctor. If you can hold it up, hold on. If you can't hold it up, just wrap it in rags and bury it in loess.
They simply tighten their belts and live a life, and I'm afraid they will starve to death and freeze to death. In the past, their Tianmen Village was only a little better than the sharecroppers.
This would be a dead end for a tenant farmer in a lean year!
After Wei Zhenyu listened, he clenched his hands in his sleeves, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Usually the scores are 64 or 50. This official is really evil and deserves to be exiled.
Wang Ruixue thought for a while, "Well, Village Chief Wan, you go and call the villagers here now. I have something important to announce. If you have something to go out, you will inform each other."
Village Chief Wan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately went to notify the villagers. "Why."
As soon as the incense stick was burned, the courtyard of Wancun Chang's house gradually became noisy, and there were more and more footsteps.
The villagers gathered in the courtyard of the village chief's house. Fortunately, the courtyard was big enough, otherwise there would not be room for so many people.
"I wonder what the village chief wants to announce? It's very cold in the cold weather." The villager was shivering from the cold and could not speak with confidence.
"I'm still wearing my dad's cotton-padded jacket. It's a bit too big for me. The cold wind blows into my clothes. Oops, it's so cold."
After the villager finished speaking, he let out a cloud of mist and rubbed his hands, and then he felt that his hands were a little warmer.
"I heard that the county prince is here?"
"No, look at that carriage?"
"Tsk, tsk, the money we spent on the carriage is enough for us to live for several years."
"Oh, this county gentleman doesn't know what he is like?"
"Will it be more harsh than the last owner's house?"
"The county gentleman is from Tianmen Village. I heard that she is a little girl."
"Hey, tell me, we also farm, and she also farms, but she is even better than us."
"Can that compare? I am so lucky."
"Ouch, my feet are really cold. I've been suffering from frostbite recently and it's painful and itchy."
The villagers were chatting, each talking about his own things, and there seemed to be endless things to say.
After village chief Wan informed the villagers, he walked into the main room and said, "The county, the king, and everyone are all here." Village chief Wan was shivering in the cold and could not speak clearly.
Wang Ruixue nodded, stood up and walked out with Mrs. Tang in her arms.
Wei Zhenyu did not go out and he was not involved in this matter.
When the villagers in Wanxi Village saw Wang Ruixue coming out of the house, they stopped discussing.
The eyes he looked at her were like stars in the night sky, shining with stunning light. What a beautiful girl!
Village Chief Wan reminded, "Humph, I haven't paid my respects to the county king yet."
Only then did the villagers come to their senses and bowed respectfully, "Meet the County Lord."
"Yeah." Wang Ruixue nodded slightly and responded neither hotly nor coldly.
The young face has a serious expression, the eyes reveal a sharp look, showing a cold attitude, and the aura on his body should not be underestimated.
The villagers were not sure what Wang Ruixue's temperament was for a while, and couldn't help but feel nervous and apprehensive.
Some of the brave ones whispered to each other, "This county gentleman is really handsome."
"Yeah, he looks young."
Wang Ruixue looked at the villagers in the yard who were in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and skinny muscles. They were trembling in the cold wind, like kites swinging in the air.
She didn't mince words and said straightforwardly: "I asked Village Chief Wan to inform you today because he has something important to tell you.
From now on, I will be the master here and you will be my tenants.
You don't have to worry about me being harsh on you. "
"I now officially inform that the future harvest of the fields will be divided into sixty-four points, that is, I will account for 60% and you will account for 40%.
As for the farm tools, I will provide them. You can go to the head of Wan Village to pick them up at that time without paying any fees.
I also provide the seeds. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money to buy them. When the time comes, I will only pay back the amount I planted.
But I want to state in advance that if someone damages farm tools, they need to be compensated at the original price. If someone loses farm tools, they also need to be compensated at the original price. After use, please remember to return it. "
After Wang Ruixue finished speaking, the scene suddenly stopped. All the villagers were stunned, and there was only the sound of the howling cold wind.
When Wei Zhenyu heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Generally speaking, seeds and farm tools are provided by the owner, but the owner will ask the tenant farmers to pay more grain.
However, Wang Ruixue had different ideas.
Village Chief Wan couldn't believe his ears and thought he heard wrongly.
Sixty-four cents, farm tools are provided by the county. No need to spend money. If you don’t have money to buy seeds, you will pay back the number of seeds when the harvest comes. How is this possible? Is there such a good thing?
When the villagers came back to their senses, they couldn't help but shiver. Regardless of the cold, they asked one after another, as if they didn't quite believe what they had just heard.
"Mr. County, are you telling the truth?"
"Mr. County, is it really 64 points?"
"County Lord, if you don't have money to buy seeds, will you really only pay back the number of seeds?"
"Farming tools really don't cost money. You won't have to pay more for food then, right?"
"..."
Questions were thrown out one after another like ping pong balls, and Wang Ruixue didn't know which question to answer.
Wang Ruixue shouted: "Quiet, quiet."
The crowd gradually became quiet at this time. Everyone was excited, but also uneasy, fearing that it was all an illusion.
"What I just said will be written on the contract verbatim. Do you think I will tell lies?" Wang Ruixue gave them reassurance.
"Yes, once you sign the contract, it won't be false."
"Oh, Lord County, you are really a living Bodhisattva!" A woman cried excitedly.
"We now feel we are on the right track."
"No, the previous owner was harsh and evil, and made things difficult for us in every way."
"It's better now. The county master is ten thousand times better than the master's family before."
Some villagers knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, regardless of whether the ground was cold or dirty, "Thank you, Lord County."
Wang Ruixue quickly stopped, "If you want to thank me, you should thank His Majesty. It was he who gave this place to me, so that we can have a destiny."
"Ah, yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
After saying this, the villagers bowed to the other side, not sure if it was the direction of the capital.
Wei Zhenyu couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this. This girl actually knew the pros and cons.
When it came to writing the treaty, Wang Ruixue asked Wei Zhenyu to write it for her, and then signed and pledged it to the villagers, so that the contract came into effect, in triplicate, and the other copy had to be submitted to the government for record.
Then Wang Ruixue explained to the village chief Wan, and then left in a carriage with Wei Zhenyu.
When Wei Zhenyu came to the county seat, he helped her get it for record. Wang Ruixue immediately gave him the contract, which saved her trouble.
"Thank you today," Wang Ruixue said sincerely.
Suddenly remembering something, she took out the red money bag from her sleeve. The money bag was bulging and contained three hundred taels of silver.
