320 The Rent Has Been Collected
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, July is here.
Because people at this time like to use the lunar month to divide the four seasons, it is now autumn.
Autumn also means harvest season is here!
Gu Xiaowan has also been busy recently. She has fifty acres of land. It would take a lot of time to collect rent.
Gu Xiaowan wanted to find a warehouse to store grain, and also wanted to find a store near Liujia Town, so that it would be easier for the tenant farmers to pay rent. Li Fan happened to have two shops at the entrance of the town, and there was nothing in them, so he could just take it. Come and use it urgently.
Gu Xiaowan was a little embarrassed and said that she wanted to pay some rent, but Li Fan refused to ask for anything, and told Xiao Shengzi to take someone to clean the shop.
Gu Ningan was overjoyed when she knew that her family was going to collect rent, and begged Gu Xiaowan to choose a day for his vacation. Gu Xiaowan just wanted him to see it, so she agreed.
Now the rice in the field is yellow and heavy, and it will be ready to be harvested soon. The weather this year is good, there is no drought or flood, it is a bumper year.
When Liu Dazhuang and Tao Da saw Gu Xiaowan, they laughed like a flower. This year is a bumper year, and Gu Xiaowan received nearly 20% less rent. They could save five more grains of food for ten acres of land.
Gu Xiaowan figured it out, if one mu of land could harvest 300 catties of rice, the 20% less rent would be almost 60 catties, or half a stone.
But don't underestimate this half-stone grain, half a stone per mu of land, and five stone less than ten mu of land, just this, it can also make the poor have a good year.
The tenant who rented the land at Gu Xiaowan's house smiled brightly. With this acre of land, so much food can be kept, and it is more powerful than anything else! The other tenants sighed and said that if Gu Xiaowan wants to rent the land next time, they must hurry up.
The tenant farmers all collected the rice in their homes, Gu Xiaowan set a time, and the tenant farmers all came to pay the rent.
The tenant farmers who paid the rent kept flowing, and the rice paddies were sent into the cleaned shop like a stream.
Gu Xiaowan and Gu Xiaoyi are responsible for checking the quality of the grain and managing the storage of the grain; Gu Ningping is very strong and is responsible for weighing, Gu Ning'an and Qin Yezhi are responsible for collecting the rent in front of the tenant, and how much of the grain is paid by the tenant farmer All registered on the ledger.
Even Li Fan came to help. He found something for himself to do. His Jinfulou was responsible for everyone's food. He must fill everyone's stomachs so that he had the strength to work, and Xiaoshengzi was in charge. Running errands, Jinfu Building and the warehouse are all running here, and he will buy everything that is missing...
And Xu Chengze, who also knew that Gu Xiaowan's house collected rent, also came to help and helped Gu Ningping to weigh together.
Seeing how busy everyone was, Gu Xiaowan was very happy.
The rent collection lasted for two days. Both shops were full. Everyone was exhausted and exhausted, but they were exhausted. When they saw so much grain in the warehouse, they all showed satisfied smiles on their faces. .
Those who rented Gu Xiaowan's land all knew that Gu Xiaowan had a lawsuit in Ruixian County last time. What Gu Xiaowan said in the lobby at that time was passed down by word of mouth. This time it was another harvest year. With so much extra food, everyone is grateful to Dade, and praised Gu Xiaowan as a living Bodhisattva with great kindness.
In the past two days, in addition to the men who came to deliver the rent, there were also some women who brought their children to give gifts.
It turned out that Gu Xiaowan received less than 20% of the rent from the tenant farmers, and everyone was deeply impressed. They were also grateful for the pictures and brought things to Gu Xiaowan.
The first ones who came were Liu Dazhuang and Tao Da's mother-in-law, who came with the mother-in-law of other tenant farmers.
One of them gave a basket of vegetables, the other gave a few eggs, and some of them gave some game that was caught on the mountain.
At first, Gu Xiaowan was determined not to accept it. The tenant farmers were not rich, and everyone was living a tight life. I was afraid that some of these things would be saved from the food. Gu Xiaowan didn't want to accept it because she was afraid of increasing their burden. These things, they can completely bring them back and fight tooth and nail. Moreover, Gu Xiaowan is not short of this food.
Gu Xiaowan is kind and doesn't accept anything from everyone. But she didn't accept it, but the tenant farmers were not happy, especially Liu Dazhuang, who was outspoken and directly asked whether Miss Gu looked down on them.
Gu Xiaowan quickly explained that she didn't mean that at all, but she was used to living a hard life before, and it was not easy to know that the things they sent were not easy. Gu Xiaowan didn't accept it.
However, these tenant farmers are all grateful, but they insist on sending them.
Gu Xiaowan knew that if she refused again, she would betray everyone's good intentions. It wasn't anything valuable anyway, so I took it all.
But when he thought of what he had received from them, he should have something in return, Qin Yezhi suggested by the side: "You can buy some cakes, the poor people in this village are just full on weekdays, and it is even more difficult to have money to go. Buy cakes, buy some cakes, children should like it very much."
Gu Xiaowan accepted the gift with peace of mind, and asked Gu Ningping to buy some pastries from the dim sum shop and divided them into portions.
Those tenant farmers received Gu Xiaowan's cakes, and they all smiled happily. Where can poor people eat these cakes, they only spend a few pennies to buy a few pieces of candy for the children to beat their teeth during the Chinese New Year.
After receiving the gift from Gu Xiaowan, she felt that this girl had no air at all, she was kind-hearted, and she kept complimenting her.
The rent is over, Gu
Xiao Wan's heart was also relieved.
There is so much food, if it is exchanged for silver money, there can be a lot.
In order to reward everyone, Gu Xiaowan took her family to Fusao's cloth house, and made new clothes and shoes for each of them. Gu Xiaoyi was the happiest. Gu Xiaoyi said on the spot that the embroidery on everyone's body was hers.
Gu Xiaowan just wanted to try Gu Xiaoyi's latest craftsmanship, and she agreed immediately.
