Chapter 226 Promise

Zhou Shuren took out two deeds from his arms, put one away and put it back in his arms, and opened the other and handed it to Boss Zhou, "Sixty acres of land, paddy fields are based on eight taels of silver per mu, and dry fields are priced at five taels of silver per mu." , 30 mu of paddy fields, 30 mu of dry land, a total of three hundred and ninety taels, the silver money for the red deed was paid by the Zheng family, and the house was one hundred taels, and the name change was also paid by the Zheng family."

Boss Zhou quickly calculated in his mind, "Father, isn't the price given by the Zheng family too low?"

Now the first-class dry land costs five taels, 30 mu is less than six taels, and the deed is also a lot of money. Although he didn't enter the Zheng family's house, it occupies a lot of land, only one hundred taels?

Zhou Lao Er felt that there was a problem, and the focus must be on the deed that father put away, and he didn't want to talk about it when he put it away, "Dad, the Zheng family is selling in such a hurry, they will move out soon!"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The motorcade and the fleet are all hired. We will set off in a week. The Zheng family has already left the first batch, and Mr. Zheng is the last batch."

He was the last to leave in order to arrange the house, and Sanfang left when he went to Pingzhou.

Zhou Laoer frowned, "Father, we are going to Pingzhou next year, brother-in-law Guang can't take care of 60 acres of land and the house alone."

Zhou Shuren had thought about it a long time ago, and looked at Boss Zhou, "The land is in Lijia Village. There are many men in your father-in-law's family. After the land is transferred, you can go to your father-in-law's house. Who will help plant our land? Each mu of land can Keep 20% of the grain, and if the grain yield cannot exceed the average yield per mu in the first year, I will take back the land.”

To put it bluntly, it is to exchange grain for labor wages. The more you cultivate the land with your heart, the more grain will be harvested naturally, and more will be distributed in the end, avoiding the trouble of being lazy as much as possible.

Zhou Shuren's method is not like the landlord who rents out the land to the tenants in order to squeeze more profits. The tenants have to work hard for a year, paying the rent and paying taxes. Sometimes they don't even have enough food and drink. Landlords squeeze more labor, and catch up with bad years, making life difficult.

Zhou Shuren's method, as long as the land is served well, the farmers can get food without taking risks. The better the service, the more they can get. There are more boys in Lijia Village, and there is a lot of surplus labor. As long as you are not stupid, you will not miss the opportunity. .

Boss Zhou was pleasantly surprised for Mrs. Li. There are so many young men in the Yue family. There is not so much work for the young men in the family, and the mother-in-law is also very worried every day. You can save a lot of money by making silver coins. I understand that my father is a member of the Yue family, "I thank you on behalf of Mrs. Li."

Zhou Shuren didn't give the Li family cheap for nothing. His in-laws are in Li's village, and Li's village is basically surnamed Li, and everyone with a family name is a relative. When their family goes to Pingzhou, the care of the house still depends on the Li family.

Zhou Shuren said, "Okay,

All that needs to be said has been said, your mother and I will rest for a while, this bullock cart is very bumpy. "

Boss Zhou, "Father, I'm going out first."

Zhulan waited for the two sons to go out and closed the door, Zhulan stretched out her hand, "Show me."

Zhou Shuren took out the deed, "This is the real deed. The 60 mu of land was half sold and half given away to our family. Paddy and dry fields are all 4 taels of silver per mu, and 60 mu of land is two hundred and forty taels. I originally wanted to give our family a promise for nothing, but I refused and talked about other benefits. The Zheng family asked me not to sell the house, and hoped that I would pass it down from generation to generation. The Zheng family came with a token, and we will return the house.”

Zhou Shuren took out a seal as he said, "This is a token. Half of my seal here is in the hands of the Zheng family. The house will be taken back by the Zheng family. We didn't ask for any money, nor did we take any furniture from the house. Let’s go, I’ll give you away for nothing, but in order to avoid trouble, we can only live in the Zheng family’s house and cannot rent it out.”

Zhulan was fiddling with the seal, and the seal was very complicated, "We can guarantee that our gentleman will keep his promise, and the son will be fine. As for the grandchildren, we can't guarantee it. After we die, we can't manage it. In case we What if the children and grandchildren don't return it? Isn't Mr. Zheng afraid?"

Zhou Shuren touched the seal. Now that he met Mr. Zheng, he realized that there are people out there, especially the ruthless ones. "Mr. Zheng is a ruthless man. He killed his younger brother with his own hands. Do you think he will have no back?"

He seriously doubted that his younger generation would not keep their promises, and it is estimated that he would really die.

This old Mr. Zheng has been smiling all the time, and his back felt chills when he laughed. For the first time, he felt that he was very close to death. He knew the secret of the Zheng family, so he didn't give him a chance to refuse. He didn't even have to think about it. He and Zhulan are absolutely dead.

Zhulan knew that Mr. Zheng was not simple, but she didn't expect his hands to be so ruthless, "Didn't I lie to you?"

"Do you think that's possible?"

Bamboo orchid, ""

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "Every family will have one or two scumbags. I guess the relationship between the Zheng family's distribution and the younger brother of Mr. Zheng."

Mr. Zheng didn't tell anyone, yes, he told him, he really didn't want to know!

Zhulan stared, "The Zheng family is not afraid, if they threaten you now, will you rebel if you climb up in the future?"

Why does Zhou Shuren think that Zhulan is so cute? Zhulan is angry that he was threatened and put her arms around Zhulan, "Because Mr. Zheng has given me enough use. Someone has taken a fancy to the Zheng family's house a long time ago. Mr. Zheng will do it himself. The deed is also to express that we are protected by the Zheng family. This old man has not been idle for more than 40 years. I always feel that there are many hidden threads in the county. Otherwise, why do you think no one has taken over such a big house built by the Zheng family! "

Zhulan, "We seem to have encountered a hidden boss?"

Zhou Shuren burst out laughing, "It's just a coincidence. Wang Ru died and left. Mrs. Zheng moved here by chance and became acquainted with our family. The Zheng family investigated me and thought I was the most suitable person, but they did meet Hidden ruthless."

Zhulan squinted her eyes, to put it bluntly, this pie that almost choked to death was caused by Wang Ru, Zhulan was always curious about Uncle Zheng, "Does Uncle Zheng have a Northwest general in his family? "

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The Zheng family fled back then and split into two ways. In order to prevent future troubles, they separated without leaving any way of contact, only the general direction. The eldest family went to the northwest to hide their names. Later, when the dynasty died and wars broke out, the whole family was a general. He just served as a soldier at the border, and it took a few more years for the establishment of the new dynasty to become the current fourth-rank captain. These years, the northwest has been unstable, and there are constant small battles. "

This is also the reason why the Zheng family left so simply. The Zheng family lived incognito in the Northeast, and the younger generation had no material to study, so the Northwest was the best place for the Zheng family to survive.

Zhulan thought about what Zhou Shuren said just now that he refused to give away the land for nothing, and exchanged other benefits, "What benefits did you exchange with Mr. Zheng?"
