Chapter 728 I Am a Landlord (4)

Ancient accounts are not like modern ones. The system can get the answer as soon as the statistics are collected. You have to read and calculate each account by yourself.

And it was written in capital letters. When Shi Sheng finished reading it, he felt dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Shi Sheng picked out the problematic account books and said to Qiu Shui, "The shopkeepers of these stores have changed."

"Huh?" Qiu Shui was confused, picked up the account book and looked through it, "Miss, the shopkeepers of these stores are all old people. Is there any problem?"

Ruan Xiaoyang was unwilling to learn at first, so Qiu Shui was forced to learn by Ruan's father. She was reading these account books, and she didn't see any problems.

Shi Sheng pointed to several places where there were frauds.

Qiu Shui didn't understand it at first. After reading it a few times, he finally understood it. His face suddenly turned ugly, "Why are they like this? We give them the best treatment. They have been working in the Ruan family for a long time..."

"It's because they are old people that they dare to do this."

Ruan Xiaoyang is young and a girl, so these people dare to do anything.

"Miss, I'm going right away." Qiu Shui took the account book and went out.

He actually dared to lie to his superiors and pretended that their young lady was easy to bully.

The story of these shopkeepers quickly spread among the people below, and some people who wanted to make a fortune no longer dared to have any thoughts after this incident.

The eldest lady left behind by the Ruan family is not that easy to fool.

After sorting out the Ruan family, Shi Sheng had time to pay attention to the heroine.

"Has the rent in Baihe Village not been confiscated yet?" Shi Sheng called Qiu Shui over to ask.

Qiu Shui nodded, "We haven't collected it yet... They made a big fuss before, so we collected the neighboring village first, but we heard that there were bandits in Baihe Village and all the food was looted, so I'm afraid we won't be able to collect much. Miss, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Shi Sheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go and show off with me."

"Ah?" Qiu Shui didn't understand the word "pretending" and looked at Shi Sheng confused. What was the lady talking about?

"Collect rent." Shi Sheng changed his words.

"It's okay for people below to do this kind of thing. How can you go?" Qiu Shui disagreed. Places like the village were very dirty and messy. There was no place for a young lady to go.

The most important thing is, how can a young lady, a girl who has not yet left the government, show her face to the public?

"I'm bored at home, so I just happened to go take a look. Let's go." Shi Sheng's tone was indifferent, but it was impossible to refute.

Qiu Shui looked at Shi Sheng with some doubts in her eyes. Why did the young lady become so strange?

She opened her mouth, trying to persuade Shi Sheng, but her eyes suddenly hit Shi Sheng's pupils. Those eyes were as clear as before, but less volatile.

It was a calmness that she had never seen before, without any emotion at all. The coldness spreading from the depths of his eyes made people feel chilly.

Qiu Shui froze on the spot, what's wrong with Miss?

…

Baihe Village is a bit far away from Baihe County. The carriage wandered for most of the morning before arriving at Baihe Village.

When Shi Sheng got off the carriage, there was farmland on the roadside, and some tenants were harvesting the few rice in the farmland.

As soon as Shi Sheng's carriage appeared, those people noticed it.

There was a sign from the Ruan Mansion hanging on the carriage. Of course they knew that this was someone from the Ruan Mansion, and they were most likely here to collect rent. But when they saw Shi Sheng, who was wearing silk and satin, getting off the carriage, some of their expressions changed. Sudden changes.

"This is not that day..."

"Why did she get off the Ruan Mansion's carriage?"

Ruan Xiaoyang has never been to Baihe Village. The tenants here only know her name but have never met her.

The last time she came to Baihe Village, she didn't give her name.

Some tenants saw Ruan Xiaoyang being caught by the bandits that day. How could these people not be surprised when they saw her getting off the carriage of Ruan Mansion?

Ruan Mansion is their boss.

The village chief of Baihe Village came over after hearing the news. When he saw the former rent collector standing next to Shi Sheng, his mind turned and he probably understood who this person was.

"Master?" The village chief called tentatively.

"Are you the village chief?" Qiu Shui asked on behalf of Shi Sheng, "Gather all the people in your village and our lady will collect the rent."

He happened to be away on the day the bandits robbed him, so he didn't know there was something going on inside. When he heard Qiu Shui's words, he just felt embarrassed, "This..."

He looked at the villagers behind him and rubbed his hands, "My boss, it's not that we don't pay, it's the bandits from Heifeng Village who came to rob us this time. We don't have any food in the house except what's in the fields. Can you please slow down?" , let us finish the winter..."

Qiu Shui looked at the village chief and said, "The Ruan family doesn't do things to perfection. We also know your difficulties, but you still have to pay something."

There are so many tenants in these ten miles and eight villages. If those people hear that the people in Baihe Village have not paid their rent, will those people still start a riot?

When Mr. Ruan was here, he was very tolerant to these tenants. If they couldn't pay this year, they could pay next year, but it didn't mean they didn't pay at all.

There are rules for doing one thing and one thing. Once the rules are broken, it will cause a collapse.

The village chief said sadly: "There is really nothing we can do this year. The whole village only has this little food left in the fields. It is hard to say whether it can survive the winter. Boss, just do your best and be kind, and we will definitely make up for it next year."

Qiu Shui was a little undecided and looked at Shi Sheng, "Miss, what do you think?"

"You said before that you would reduce rent collection?" Shi Sheng looked sideways at the village chief.

The village chief's heart skipped a beat and he said with a grimace: "My boss, the harvest is not as good as every year now. We have nothing to do. After paying the rent, there won't be much left."

Shi Sheng's lips curved, "But as far as I know, the rents of other families are higher than those of my Ruan family."

The Ruan family only received 40%, while the others received 50%, which was a full 10% less.

The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't know how to answer. In his heart, he couldn't help complaining about the heroine who provoked this matter. What if the owner didn't rent the land to them?

"Ruan Xiaoyang!"

A cooing sound came from the field, and the heroine in coarse linen clothes came up from the field. Her calves were still stained with mud, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Qiu Shui naturally knew Su Hua. He had made trouble with her young lady several times before, but the young lady was kind-hearted and didn't care about her. She even scolded her and looked like she was the most reasonable person.

"Su Hua, what do you want to do?" Qiu Shui stood in front of Shi Sheng, "Can you call the lady's name?"

"Isn't your name just for calling people?" Su Hua said confidently, "Ruan Xiaoyang, what are you doing here again?"

Su Hua clearly knew that the original owner had been captured by bandits, so he did not report the matter to the officials nor did he go to the Ruan Mansion to report the matter.

In Su Hua's heart, she felt that someone like Ruan Xiaoyang, who exploited the people, would be a good fit for someone to teach her a lesson.

Unexpectedly, she came back intact.

"Collect rent." Shi Sheng smiled crookedly, "Isn't this an obvious thing?"
