"I heard that some time ago, you signed a so-called 'farming contract' with some untouchables?" Yang Bofang took a sip of tea and asked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yiuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle Yang is worried, there is indeed such a thing."

"Haha," Yang Bofang suddenly laughed, making Liu Yi a little at a loss. He asked, "Uncle Yang, what do you mean?"

"Well, hehe," Yang Bofang smiled and said, "You are very nice, very courageous, and have a bit of the style of Uncle Liu Shi's back then. Well, if you think about it, Uncle Liu Shi was like you back then. You were not afraid of heaven or earth. You would do anything you want. There would be no worries, but it would make people like you."

"Uh" Seeing that Yang Bofang mentioned his grandfather for no reason, Liu Yiu was even more confused, so he asked, "Please forgive me for being dull, I wonder what Uncle Yang is referring to?"

"It seems that you really don't understand the reason." Yang Bofang glanced at Liu Yiyi, put the tea bowl on the table, and said, "Do you know what the rent for the current tenant is for a year?" Seeing Liu Yiyi shook his head, Yang Bofang stretched out five fingers and replied, "The money is only five hundred, and the food is only three stones."

Liu Yi didn't say anything, but he finally understood why Li Dechen and his family were so difficult. Such rent could not even care about basic food and clothing, let alone clothing. At the same time, he also understood why Yang Bofang said what he said just now, the rent given by Liu Yi was too high.

Such a high rent will definitely attract dissatisfaction among some people, especially the large families of the landlord class.

"Do you understand now?" Yang Bofang smiled and said, "The rent you give is three times and four times that of others. Isn't such a spirit worthy of admiration? Haha"

"Uncle Yang laughed." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Liu Yiong's forehead. His new little landlord's behavior inadvertently violated the vital interests of some nearby big families. If they wanted to suppress him, he, the little landlord, might be bankrupt in an instant.

Yang Bofang took another sip of tea and said, "Do you know why I called those tenants just now? One is because of their identity, and the other is because of their rent price. But even so, in the law, they are all free and have the right to choose their own boss."

"But before, the world was as dark as crows. They had no choice but to have no hope. They could only guard the fields assigned to them by their boss. Only in this way would they not starve to death on the streets."

"But now, a white crow has emerged in this group of black crows." Yang Bofang glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "And you, a virtuous nephew, is the admirable white crow."

What kind of white crow is just a bird that stands out?

Seeing that Yang Bofang was talking seriously, Liu Yiu felt relieved. He stood up and saluted Yang Bofang and said, "This time I'm working hard on Uncle Yang again."

"Sit down," Yang Bofang saw that Liu Yi had guessed the reason for the incident and nodded with satisfaction: "I have heard of your 'farming contract', which is very good! Although the contents in it will be disliked by some people, the tenants you hired will follow you with all their hearts and farm for you in the future. You have done a good job of winning people's hearts."

"However, this kind of thing cannot be repeated. The reason why this matter can be suppressed is that I am quite a bit weak in Sanyuan County, and everyone appreciates it. Second, you are only thirty acres of land, and many people don't take you seriously. One thing you should know is that although Sanyuan County is not the capital, it has a close connection with the capital. There are many large households here, so many that you can't imagine. Any one of them can easily kill you."

Liu Yi was so cold that she broke out in a cold sweat on her back. Now it is a feudal society. Although he has a small land, he is still at the bottom of this society. Liu Yi sincerely asked Yang Yi for advice: "I hope Uncle Yang can give me some advice."

Yang Bofang did not be polite to him, and took a sip of tea and said directly: "In the past, you were just an ordinary farmer. It would be fine if you didn't know some things, and it wouldn't have much impact on you. But now, you have thirty hectares of land, although not many, but you have stepped into the lord's gate. You must pay attention to some things."

"First of all, you should know that some people in Sanyuan County must not provoke them. The heads are the Du family in the east of the city and the family of Du Yanzhi. The second is the Gongsun Mansion, the Pang family, and the Li family. These mansions are either descendants of officials in the court or the nephews of officials in Chang'an. They are not something that a commoner lord like you can afford to provoke."

"There is also the price of grain, which has an unwritten rule among each lord. The price of grain produced every year is determined by the big households in the county, and no one can raise it at will or reduce their prices at will."

Liu Yi nodded. The disguised thing is not only in modern times. He naturally agreed with the price of grain with one million yuan. Those big landlords will not do business to accompany their capital.

"Thank you for your advice, Uncle Yang, I've been taught."

"Well, I've been talking for so long, just to let you know that you are just a child in your infancy. Before you grow up, it's best not to provoke those adults." As he said that, Yang Bofang stood up and took out a chessboard above the bookcase, and smiled at Liu Yi: "I've said so much, I'm tired of thinking about you. Let's play chess with me."

"I really want to ask for it." Liu Yiuan took the chessboard, cleaned up the books and magazines on the desk, set up the chess game, and reached out to Yang Bofang and asked, "Uncle Yang, please ask first."

Yang Bofang was not polite to him and started to make a vault. At the same time, he said, "Your chess is very good. I have made a few pairs of chess with my servants and gave them to some old friends. They were all very happy. Knowing that your chess skills are superb, they all shouted to me to play a game with you. Haha, if you have the chance, I will recommend you, and you can play a few games with them."

"Hmm?" Liu Yi's hand holding the chess stopped. After understanding what Yang Bofang meant, he thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Yang for giving me something. Uncle Yang has troubled me."

After killing a small pawn with one shot, Yang Bofang smiled and said, "Just make friends with chess, don't think too much."
