Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 62 The tenant is not a real farmer

Chen Bu'er needed to find tenants after he bought the land, but Bianliang people all make a living in the city, and doing some small business, isn't it more profitable than farming?
Regardless of the dynasty or generation, the farmers are the hardest. The court's tax revenue almost always comes from the agricultural tax, which is sometimes much higher than the commercial tax.

An acre of land, handed over to the royal rations and a showdown of various names, and then handed over to the landlord’s rent, if you really get it, ten will not keep three, which is very pitiful.

The locals are not willing to farm, but the outsiders are willing. These ten tenants are all from the north, and they said they fled to Bianliang to escape the military disaster, but Chen Buer does not know if it is true or not.

Anyway, the conditions they negotiated at the beginning were that these tenants would bear the rations and meat and vegetables for the 20 teenagers, and the harvest in the field would belong to the tenants, and Chen Buer would pay all the imperial grain, and Chen Buer would give an additional 20 taels of silver every month. .

For a period of time, these tenants have always been honest and honest. Chen Buer often sent thin and fat people over for spot checks, and the results were quite satisfactory, and they stopped paying attention after a long time.

As a result, it seems that these ten families are not very honest.

You have treated Chen Buer's people badly, and this has touched Chen Buer's rebellious scales.

After about a quarter of an hour, the tenants arrived late, with unnatural expressions on their faces.

Huang San whispered in Chen Bu'er's ear: "Master, they discussed something when they got together before they came, and they probably came prepared."

Nonsense, what is the origin of these teenagers?How can these little tricks be hidden from others?
After these people entered the yard, they saw the young master sitting on the chair, bowed repeatedly, and said in one go:
"Boss, why are you here, Boss, please greet Boss."

Chen Buer nodded, pointed to the strongest middle-aged man in the crowd, and asked straight to the point:

"Yu Changshou, come here, come here, and explain why you didn't provide meat and vegetables to my twenty brothers as agreed? You don't even have enough rations?"

The burly man named Yu Changshou bent down and replied humbly:

"Young master, there is no way. There was a spring famine a few months ago. The crops in this field are not harvested well, and there is not much food. In order to provide for these young men, we really tightened our belts and porridge every day. With wild vegetables, where can I afford meat?"

Chen Bu'er really didn't know anything about farming. He had never planted land in his two lifetimes, so he didn't know what he said was true or false.

But he knows one thing. In the past six months, he has never heard of any catastrophe or natural disaster on Gyeonggi Road. How did this spring famine happen?
At this time, Huang Twenty stood up,

"Master, they are lying. There has been no disaster or harm in the past six months. Where did the spring famine come from? Actually, we have already counted them secretly. Their granaries are piled up like a mountain. How can they eat wild vegetables every day?"

When Yu Changshou heard it, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but on the surface he still looked innocent.

"This young man can't talk nonsense, where is the food in our family piling up like a mountain?"

When the people next to him heard this, they quickly echoed, "That's right, how much grain can be harvested in one mu of land, and it won't be piled up into a mountain in a good year."

"Young master, don't be fooled by these little gentlemen. How could we adults lie to you children, really."

Chen Bu'er raised his brows, and he heard the smell. What is "adults can't lie to children", dare to feel sorry for these tenants, because he and these 20 people are still young and ignorant?Or a child?

I couldn't help but hum in my heart.

But he was too lazy to go around in circles, a few farmers were not worth his trouble, and besides, it was getting dark soon, and he had to rush back. Once the city gate fell, he would have to sleep in an inn outside the city.

"Yu Changshou, it's very easy to investigate this matter. I will take someone to search for it myself. If there is food at home and you lie, then give me an explanation. If my brothers lie to me, Then I will give you an explanation of course!"

Of course Chen Buer can trust these subordinates,

After all, they were professional scouts. During the war, they could investigate the enemy's military rations clearly. To investigate the farmers' rations, it was really a sledgehammer.

As soon as Yu Changshou heard that he was about to search, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stood up straight.

He is indeed a farmer, but he is a part-time farmer, including other tenants behind him, who were originally from bandits in the northern Taihang Mountains.

Usually farming is used as a cover. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary farmer, but when encountering a single businessman, it is also a business of robbery.

People were killed, and no one could find them when they were buried on the mountain. The goods were sold elsewhere, and no one could find them.Even if the government occasionally came to investigate, seeing the appearance of these farmers, they would have automatically ignored them.

But as the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your feet wet?

Until one day, they killed several single businessmen and robbed their goods.If you want to open it and see that it is actually a fine silk cloth, now the women are quitting, it is almost the Chinese New Year, how about saving some to make some new clothes?

According to the previous rules, it is not allowed to do this, but this time they took a chance, thinking that there are so many silk cloths in the world, so what if they wear them out?Who can tell.

But they don't know, do farmers like them, poor people like them, deserve to wear silk clothes?
As a result, when a yamen servant came to investigate, he found someone wearing silk cloth clothes and became suspicious.
Seeing that they had revealed their secrets, the gang of robbers immediately packed their luggage and fled south overnight. When they arrived in Bianliang City, they met Chen Buer, a kid, and became his tenants.

At first, this group of people was quite conscientious, at least they didn't kidnap this young master Chen, and they still provided the rations for these more than 20 young men.

What if it was changed before, and the 300 mu of land had already been seized?
Yu Changshou stood up straight all of a sudden, and his demeanor changed from stupid to murderous. The other tenants following him also fell silent and stopped talking.

He raised his triangular eyes and said in a cold tone:
"Boss, everything the old man said is true. Besides, we all have wives and daughters at home, so it's really inconvenient to search. Boss, please think twice."

Yu Changshou didn't want to make things big either,
But now that he has come to this point, he wants to scare these children. Just now, when he showed his arrogance, he felt that he had returned to the youthful days when he was shocked by the Taihang Mountains.
Looking at the few children in front of me who were frightened, they couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

Just now when Yu Changshou and the people behind him suddenly straightened their backs, Chen Buer and his subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, and they seemed to be "scared".

Chen Bu'er, Huang Yi and the others looked at each other, wondering if these tenants were out of their minds?Who is it bad for you to offend, but these killers?
These are ordinary young men, do you really think they set off firecrackers by the Yellow River every three days?
Now you still feel good about yourself, so you want to educate them?
