Zhang Chao followed Cui Yingying to inspect the 800 acres of land replaced by Zhang Jiaxin in Nanyuan.

A very good farm, with continuous fields and 800 acres of land intact. Compared with the dozens of scattered lands in the three places of Jingyang, Liyang and Xinfeng, these 800 acres of land seem so precious.

Cui Yingying looked at the fields with a smile on her face, and she walked around the ridge of the field with her skirt.

The housekeeper and Lao Niu walked behind with hoes and dug out the Zhao family's boundary stones according to Cui Yingying's request. The Zhao family's boundary stones were dug out, and the land was turning from the Zhao family's to the Zhang family.

Many former Zhao family merchants came to watch.

"Sanlang, we don't have any tenants here."

Zhang Chao originally planned to give the land to the original tenant to rent it, but unexpectedly, Cui Yingying said that the land would not be rented out.

"If we don't rent out, can we plant ourselves?"

"Well, we plant it ourselves."

Cui Yingying had her own plans, and the 800 acres of land also included the 500 acres of dowry that Cui Yingying used to be in Jingyang. Her 500 acres of land was not rented for people to rent, but was run by herself, mainly for slaves to farm, and also hired long-term workers and short-term workers as the auxiliary.

If you plant yourself, the profit will be higher than that of tenant.

Zhang Chao looked at the tenants of the former Zhaojiazhuang fields who were watching with anticipation and said to Cui Yingying, "They are all tenants of the original ones. We have replaced the land and don't give them to the tenants, right?"

Cui Yingying held her skirt and looked at the land with a smile on her face.

"Sanlang, I actually wanted to say it a long time ago that you are too casual sometimes and are not very good to tenants. Who is like ours, not only does not raise the rent, but also takes the initiative to reduce the rent, and has so many? Look at this Manchang'an Manguanzhong, who is like ours, who rents a mu of only five dou for rent?"

"We will not affect much less." Zhang Chao explained that he reduced the rent because he hoped that the landlord and the tenant could be more harmonious. The rent was too high and the tenant's life would be difficult. Anyway, he had more ability to make money, and it would not affect his rent. Besides, the father and son were not originally from here, and they also needed some good reputation.

"Sanlang, you are right, but what you do may not be right. The rent we booked is much less than others. Such rent makes other landlords unhappy."

"How much rent does my own land have to do with other people. Besides, the rent is not unified by other people, and there are also highs and lows."

"The rent is different, but our family's is too low, so low that no one else has ever seen before. It's said that big trees attract wind."

Zhang Chao felt that what Cui Yingying said was quite reasonable, and he didn't know how to refute it.

"Sanlang, don't worry about these farmers. They also have land. Besides, we don't give them land to them, but we can also recruit them to work and farm. But they used to be tenant land for them, but now we recruit them to do long-term and short-term labor, and they also earn wages and food, and they can also ensure income from drought and flood."

The land was exchanged by Cui Yingying, and Zhang Chao couldn't argue with her. After so long after the marriage, Zhang Chao also discovered that Cui Yingying's temper was some of her. She seemed to be very good at money. It's not that she loves money, but she is very sensitive.

"Well, okay, just hire some long-term workers from these farmhouses, and then hire some short-term workers every year during the busy farming season."

"Sanlang, I think we should buy some more cows. Our 800 acres of land also has to use cows. After we buy the cows, we raise them ourselves. We hire a few old cowherds and then hire some shepherds from the nearby farm. It doesn't cost much a year, but it's much more cost-effective than putting the cows in the farmhouse to raise them."

Zhang Chao listened to Cui Yingying's ideas and could only smile bitterly. Women are always too smart, only looking near and not looking in the long run.

"Yingying, look, after we exchanged for these 800 acres of land, I would like to simply buy the nearby ditch slopes."

"Also buy it? Haven't we bought a 10,000-acre ditch slope?"

"Buy it first, and you don't have to go to cultivate it now. I think this ditch slope has great value for reclamation, especially after we develop the upstream section, the value here will definitely increase, and it has great value for development. If you don't buy it now, I'm afraid that when we develop the above section, others will follow our model after seeing our model, and buy these."

Now the bathing ditch is still a wasteland, but as soon as Zhang Chao's reclamation and management model appears, I believe someone will discover the value of this ditch slope. Maybe someone will follow suit.

Now buy this land, even if you don’t manage it yourself in the future, you will make a profit if the price increases when the place rises.

"Since Saburo wants to buy it, then buy it. I still have some money here. If you want to use it, just take it."

All the boundary stones were dug out.

After inspecting the village, Zhang Chao returned to the village, asked the butler to greet him, and called all the original tenants over.

A group of original tenants stood there, waiting to listen to the new owner's destiny. The farmers all had a happy expression on their faces. After all, after the two farms next door were sold to the Zhang family this year, their rent was reduced a lot. The Zhang family even bought cows and put them in their homes for raising them. The cows were used during the busy farming period.

Now that their own farm has finally been sold to the Zhang family, they can finally enjoy the good treatment of the Zhang family.

Looking at their expectant expressions, Zhang Chao didn't know how to speak.

"But, please announce it to everyone."

The butler then walked to the households of the villages.

A group of farmers said with a flattering smile, "Butler Zhang, will we also reduce the rent in the future?"

"Will the boss buy us cows too?"

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me first." The butler shouted loudly, and all the farmers calmed down and stood there looking at the butler expectantly.

"Everyone, this land is now from the Zhang family. I believe you know it. We have dug out the boundary stone just now and will plant the Zhang family's boundary stone tomorrow. From now on, these 800 acres of land will also belong to the Zhang family."

"I know that everyone is the tenant from the former Zhao family. The Zhao family gave you land to you and then collected rent. Now this land belongs to the Zhang family, and some rules have to be changed. In the future, we will no longer rent out this land."

As soon as these words came out, the merchants below were stunned.

Not renting it?

"Butler, why not rent it?"

"Why?"

"Our family has rented this land for several generations. Why don't we rent it if we don't rent it?"

"Silent, quiet, listen to me first!" The butler stretched out his arms and kept pressing down.

"This land was exchanged with the Zhao family. Most of our original land was cultivated by ourselves. We had more than 20 households. Now the land was exchanged for the Zhao family, so the suburbs there were moved here. The land was mainly handed over to them for farming. We cannot give the land to you, but we will hire some long-term workers among you, and in the future, we will directly work and farm for our Zhang family and get a fixed wage. In addition, during the busy farming season, we will also hire some short-term workers."

"Now we have to recruit ten long-term workers, young and strong men over 18 and under 50. In addition, we have to recruit two old cowherds and ten shepherds."

A group of farmers were disappointed.

They also hoped that after the Zhang family bought the Zhao family's farm, they would be able to pay less rent and get the Zhang family's cow. Who knew that in the end, Zhang Chao not only did not reduce the rent, but even took back the land and refused to rent it.

The Zhang family only needs long-term work and short-term work, and they will not rent out land at all.

Only ten long-term workers.

Eight hundred acres of land were originally divided into land by forty or fifty households. Now the Zhang family has brought 20 households to farm these lands, and then only recruited ten long-term workers, and then hired some short-term workers during the busy farming period.

This means that dozens of families who originally rented the land of 800 acres will lose a large amount of income in the future.

"Don't worry, although we only recruit ten long-term workers here, our Zhang family also recruits people to work. If you are willing, you can sign up for the Zhang family to work. Both long-term and short-term workers are fine, and there is no limit on the number of people, and the Zhang family wants it."

Zhang Chao held his hands and looked at the excited villagers. Without these land, this had a great impact on the villagers. After all, Bashang is a town in the capital, and there is less land for all the land. It is very hard for a family to rely on the insufficient land, but they have to pay enough rent and mediocre service.

Although it will be harder to rent a land, it can subsidize a lot of income.

Fortunately, the Zhang family now employs many people, and whether it is the workshop at home or the development of the ditch slope, it requires a lot of people. The Zhang family has to hire a lot of long-term and short-term workers, which is also a solution to make up for these people.

"Everyone knows that Zhang family and Xiaolangjun are the most kind. If you go to Zhang family to work, the benefits are actually higher than that of you who have to farm. Even your wives, girls, and kids have the opportunity to work in the Zhang family to earn money and food. If you work in a workshop, you can't blow the wind and rain, but it's much easier than if you face the loess and the sky every day, and the wind and rain."

"I'm working at the Zhang family, and I'm still allowed you to eat, but I'm fine." The housekeeper shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

After hearing this, the merchants finally felt relieved, but many people were still not satisfied. After renting the land, they could keep growing it, but when they went to work in the Zhang family, who knows how long it could be done?

Cui Yingying stood beside Zhang Chao, smiling and watching all this.

Many farmers started to sign up. Although there were only ten long-term workers in the village, Zhangjia Village still needed many long-term workers, and those who worked in short-term workers also needed. The salary given by the Zhang family was quite good, and they even included food.

She was calculating in her mind how much more could she earn in a year after she took back the 800 acres of land and replanted it.

"Sanlang, how about you tell me that we will take back all the other 1,000 acres of land in our family and hire someone to cultivate it yourself?"

Zhang Chao sighed, "Those lands have been signed with tenants, and now they have repented, it's not good."

Cui Yingying smiled and said, "How can we know if we don't try it? We can talk to them. As long as we are willing to give up the contract, we can come to our house to work, and their wives, daughters and sons can also come to our house to work."

"They don't give up the contract, and they can come to our house to work."

"I have a solution, they are certainly willing. Didn't Saburo always plan to build a private school? Then I told these merchants that as long as they return the fields to us, we will not only let them come to work in the Zhang family, but also let their children come to our private school for free to study."

Cui Yingying smiled very smartly, but she didn't believe it. Those farmers still refused to agree to such good conditions!
