When Su Tang entered the dental shop in Qingyuan County again, Hu Sande, the middleman who was still idle, saw her at a glance. Without waiting for others to react, Hu Sande trotted over and said, "Miss Su, you are here, but do you need to buy or sell land?"
"I just bought a lot, I'm afraid I don't need to buy it." Su Tang said jokingly when Hu Sande said this.
Hu Sande just wanted to ask. After all, Su Tang had just bought a few thousand taels from Zhuangzi two days ago. He couldn't buy it again just two days after he came here.
"Then I don't know what Miss needs. I am familiar with the dental shop and can recommend you a reliable broker." Knowing that Su Tang was a big customer, Hu Sande was also very attentive.
Most people would not buy so many farms. Hu Sande saw that Su Tang was young and if he maintained it a little longer, there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
"It's a good time to ask you. You also know that among the farms I bought, some of them didn't have any farmers, they were all tenant farmers. I wanted to buy some farmers to watch the fields and work, and I wanted to find someone who could follow me out to patrol the farms. People, if the dealers in the Zhang family are not suitable for use, they need to sell them again."
Su Tang did not hide his purpose and told Hu Sande directly. Hu Sande's eyes lit up when he heard Su Tang's plan. This was a big business deal.
He thought for a moment and then said, "I'm not a human teeth maker. I'll take the lady to see the person who does this."
So they took Su Tang to find a middle-aged woman. This middle-aged woman was the Ya Po from the Qingyuan County Yachang. Her husband's surname was Zhou, and everyone called her Mrs. Zhou.
This week Granny Zhou and Hu Sande are neighbors. The two families get along well, and Granny Zhou has a good reputation. When Hu Sande introduced that Su Tang wanted to buy and sell people, she knew that she had met a big customer.
He hurriedly thanked Hu Sande, and then entertained Su Tang attentively. Hu Sande saw that he had nothing to do, so he said goodbye and went aside.
"Miss, what you want to buy is a servant who can do farm work, right?" Mrs. Zhou sat down with Su Tang in the back and talked.
Su Tang then told her all her current needs. Mrs. Zhou was worthy of being in this business. When she heard what Su Tang said, she also said, "There are servants in Yaxing who can do the job. Then Yang Gezhuang and Zhou Ge It's better for Zhuang to say something, originally they were all prostitutes, but when the time comes that the lady doesn't think it's appropriate, it would be cheaper to sell them directly from afar."
"It's just those farms with tenants. The old lady still thinks we shouldn't make arrangements first. The distance is not far anyway. It's better to ask the tenants who rent the fields if they are willing to sell themselves. Otherwise, Miss, if you arrange someone, those tenants will have no farmland to cultivate. , I’m afraid that I won’t be able to survive, and I may have to sell myself by then, so I might as well sell it to a lady and still work nearby.”
This week the mother-in-law gave Su Tang this advice.
Hearing what she said, Su Tang hesitated, "Even if he is a sharecropper, he is still a serious farmer. If he sells himself, he will always..."
Su Tang felt that since he was a tenant farmer, he was a serious farmer even though he had no land. He could take the imperial examination or anything else in the future. Once he sold himself, he would become a slave. Regardless of whether he is a slave, his descendants are also slaves.
It is much better to be a good ordinary farmer than to sell oneself to the current people, which is a slave status.
That's why Su Tang wanted to buy some people to farm the land for those who only had tenants and no farmers. She never thought of buying those tenants directly.
