After the emperor's grandfather became a man, he enfeoffed people on a large scale, and all those with military merit were promoted.
Now more than ten years have passed, no matter how bad you are, you can't escape even a fifth or sixth grade.
Why are the wife and children living 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, its fur is soft and furry.
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 whole face wrinkled up!
"Ouch—"
Seeing the little wolf cub getting angry and turning to bite her wrist, Xia's mother was startled as soon as she laughed out loud. Fortunately, Tong Su hid quickly, and he missed the bite. His teeth staggered hard, and a sound filled the air.
"So fierce?" The girl raised her eyebrows and rubbed his ears harder.
"Ouch!"
Xia's mother said: "It's 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 pups cannot be faked.
Jin Wenting had heard them talk before and mentioned that her father who passed away left several acres of land, didn't he
How could they, mother and daughter, not have enough to eat
However, he didn't 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 used to hire people to farm it, and his rent was the lowest among the surrounding landowners - only three floors. But after his accident, those tenants bullied our family. People are clamoring to reduce the 30% rent to 1.5%, otherwise they will stop farming!"
This is taking advantage of the situation!
With today's planting technology, one acre of land can be harvested for about one stone of wheat, and one stone is worth ten dou. Each stone can be sold for about twenty taels of silver.
The tenants paid three dou as rent, but the landlord also had to pay one dou in tax. His family's income per acre was only two dou. The total six acres was one stone and two dou, which could 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 when the year is good and there are no natural or man-made disasters.
Nowadays, most tenants 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's mother said worriedly: "Your brother was angry when he was here, and he broke the employment contract with them in anger... Now, at least the six acres of land were planted with winter wheat before, but we are just waiting for the spring of next year. Who can we find to plant it?"
Tong Su had seen the plot and naturally knew that Uncle Xia and Uncle Xia had instigated those tenants to come up with this idea.
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 still bullying because they were all from the city and they couldn't bear to argue with them, so they agreed half-heartedly.
only.
The original owner and Xia's mother were the ones who refused to argue with them out of concern for their skin, 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 robbed us! Since they are unjust, we don't have to be kind! They won't do it if they don't plant. Forget about planting, our family only charges three-story rent, there are many people who are willing to plant our fields, are we afraid that we can't find tenants?"
