Chapter 6 Farming is a dead end!

The disciples in charge of the rent-collecting "Sinong Palace" came.

It's just that the appearance of this executive disciple is different from Xu Ke's imagination.

Xu Ke originally thought that this rent-collecting apprentice should be flying in the air, floating in the sky, with his robe and sleeves fluttering, showing a lonely and lonely painting style.

just now……

Under the scorching sun, at the intersection ahead, a bullock pulled a large cart, bringing billowing smoke and dust, and galloped all the way "rumbling".

"Call..."

As the driver approached, the driver on the cart yelled and pulled the reins violently.

The galloping cart stopped suddenly, the wheels scraped up a layer of mud on the ground, and there was a tail drift, and the smoke and dust rolled up along the way swept like a wave.

Fuck!Can bullock carts play drifting?

Xu Ke covered his mouth and nose with his hand, backed away again and again, avoiding the dust explosion attack.

"It's the first time to drive this kind of car, and I'm still not proficient. It's a joke. It's a joke."

The driver on the bullock cart jumped down with a "boom", fanned his clothes with one hand, wiped his sweat with the other, and walked up to Xu Ke.

You can do bullock cart drifting, aren't you proficient?Don't you want to go to heaven if you are proficient?
Xu Ke looked at this "rent collector" with a slightly plump figure and a slightly honest appearance, and smiled politely without answering.

"Brother, is there any water? Take a bowl of water to drink, it's too hot."

The man came up with a smile, and greeted Xu Ke very "familiarly".

"Water? Yes. Yes."

Xu Ke nodded, "Come on, brother, please come in."

With that said, Xu Ke led the rent collector into the house, picked up a pottery bowl to scoop up a bowl of well water, and handed it over, "The family is poor and there is no tea to entertain guests. I hope my brother will not be disgusted."

"What do you dislike?"

This slightly fat rent collector has no airs at all, nor is there any "smelly fastidiousness". He reached out to take the pottery bowl and drank it dry.

Xu Ke smiled. It seems that the rent collector of the Sinong Hall is quite easy to talk to.

"Ha... cool and refreshing! Thank you!"

Putting down the bowl, the rent collector thanked Xu Ke, and then started to talk about business, "Are you Junior Brother Xu Ke? My name is Gao Zhengzhi, and I am an executive disciple sent by Si Nongdian to collect rent. This is my executive disciple." Token, check it."

With that said, Gao Zhengzhi, the rent collector, handed a waist card to Xu Ke.

"Senior brother was joking, where is the need for inspection?"

Saying this, Xu Ke picked up the badge without hesitation, checked it carefully, and returned the badge to Gao Zhengzhi after confirming that it was correct.

"Junior Brother Xu, according to the records in the field book, you have planted a total of ten acres of low-grade spiritual fields this year, and the crop you plant is silver-leaf jute."

Gao Zheng passed the waist card directly, took another book, opened the book to check the records, "Is there any problem with this record?"

"No problem." Xu Ke nodded.

"That's good."

Gao Zhengzhi put away Tian Bo's booklet, smiled at Xu Ke, and said, "Brother Xu, let's talk about it first. There are always some unwritten rules about rent collection."

Unwritten rules?Isn't it just an unspoken rule of deduction and exploitation?
Xu Ke frowned, and sighed secretly.From ancient times to the present, no matter what dynasty or generation, peasants have always been the targets of exploitation, even in the world of cultivating immortals.

How annoying!Am I going to have a "struggle for truth"?

"Brother Xu, don't worry."

Gao Zhengzhi saw that Xu Ke's face was not good-looking, and said with a smile: "I, Gao Zhengzhi, have an upright nature, and I can't do things that are exploitative. I will not deliberately lower your silver leaf jute grade, and I will not deliberately increase the rent quota. .”

"Thank you, brother! Brother is really upright!"

Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and developed a good impression of this senior brother named "Integrity".

No wonder the common people have longed for honest officials since ancient times.Those who act according to the rules and do not intentionally exploit are already rare honest officials.

"Hehe, that's ridiculous!"

Gao Zhengzhi nodded with a smile, and motioned to Xu Ke, "Brother Xu, let's start!"

"Okay, brother please!"

Xu Ke quickly led Gao Zhengzhi to the outside ground, and stood beside the pile of silver-leaf jute.

Gao Zhengzhi took out a needle-shaped instrument, and carefully tested each bundle of silver-leaf jute to determine the grade of these silver-leaf jute.

"Junior Brother Xu, after testing, the quality of your silver-leaf jute is good. There are no inferior products, but there are very few high-quality products. Most of them are good products. How about using good products for grading?"

"It's all up to the senior brother to decide."

Xu Ke smiled and cupped his hands, and had no objection to this grade determination.

Gao Zhengzhi nodded, and took out another weighing scale and placed it on the ground.

Afterwards, Gao Zhengzhi took out an animal skin bag, drove the magic weapon, stretched out his hand, and a wave of mana swept over, and the whole stack of silver-leaf jute flew up and fell into the palm-sized bag.

"This is... a storage bag?"

Xu Ke was amazed.This thing... With Xu Ke's financial resources, he can't even think about it. It's so expensive that he can't afford it.

"A storage bag indeed."

Gao Zhengzhi smiled, and then sighed again: "This is a sect artifact. We ordinary disciples want a storage bag... Hehe, I can't even afford the cheapest storage bag. Poor! Cultivation is too expensive!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ke felt sorry for him and felt the same way.

The storage bag stores items, only according to a fixed ratio, to reduce the weight of the stored items, which is very suitable for weighing.

Gao Zhengzhi put the storage bag on the balance and weighed it, and motioned to Xu Ke: "Junior Brother Xu, take a look, it's [-] catties in total."

"Okay." Xu Ke nodded.

"Brother Xu, according to the sect's rules, you have to pay [-]% of the rent. Logically speaking, you only need to pay [-]% of the nine thousand four hundred catties. But..."

Gao Zhengzhi smiled, "This involves the 'unwritten rules' I told you. The rules of the Sinong Palace are that, based on the quota of [-] catties per mu, you have to pay [-] catties of tenants. Rent. I can't change this rule, do you understand?"

"I can understand."

Xu Ke gave a wry smile helplessly, and thanked Gao Zhengzhi, "Thank you for your care, brother."

Without additional exploitation, without deliberate suppression during quality inspection, it is already high integrity and "integrity of character".

As for the [-]-jin quota, how could it be possible that the Hall of Sinong would not take advantage of the rent?

"Excluding the [-] catties of rent, you have [-] catties of silver-leaf jute left."

Gao Zhengzhi glanced at Xu Ke and said, "What are you going to do with these two thousand or four hundred catties of jute? If the Zongmen buys it, at the current purchase price, one hundred catties of silver-leaf jute can be exchanged for a total of 24 spirit stones." Low-grade spirit stone."

So... I have worked so hard for half a year, and my income is only 24 low-grade spirit stones?

At this moment, Xu Ke has already deeply felt what poverty is.

The 24 low-grade spirit stones are all used to buy spirit rice, and they will not be able to eat the autumn harvest, let alone maintain the needs of cultivation.

Farming is a dead end!
