Chapter 385： people are gone

The two Zhuangzi bought by Zhulan are adjacent to each other. The journey between the two Zhuangzi takes half an hour, and the Zhuangzi can be dealt with in one day.

Zhulan didn't want Zhuangzi's original owner to tell the tenant that Zhuangzi had sold. When Zhulan arrived, Zhuangzi's adults were all working in the fields.

Zhulan brought a lot of candy and cakes. She avoided the woman and found the playful children. Five five- or six-year-olds were playing under the tree.

Zhulan motioned to Zhou Boss and Zhou Lao Er not to follow. There were too many men and the children would be afraid. Zhu Lan only brought Liu Ya and walked over with candy.

The five children are very reserved, the children understand everything at the age of five or six, and have an impression of Zhulan.

The five children were pushing and shoving, and a tall and tall little boy stepped forward timidly, "Is something wrong?"

Zhulan smiled, "I like this village very much, so I want to buy it."

The five children were terrified and wanted to run home to tell their family members, but Zhulan reassured them, "Don't worry, even if I buy Zhuangzi, I will still rent it out, but you need to answer a few questions."

The five children glanced at each other, and the older boy clenched his fists in both hands, as if to cheer himself up, "You said."

Zhulan found a stone and sat down, and asked Liuya to distribute candy and cakes to the children, beckoning the children to sit down, and when the children sat down, Zhulan asked, "Zhuangzi has a tenant head, you Zhuangzi. Is the head of the tenant's tenant good to you?"

Several children were stunned for a moment, and a few younger ones hesitated.

Zhulan smiled, "You said it's fine."

The older boy pursed his lips and was silent for a while, before he said, "If he is not good, will you replace him?"

"It's natural."

The boy made up his mind and said, "The Li family is not good. Every time the Li family helps the village owner collect rent, they will collect more food. Talking bad to the steward, the owner of the villa rarely comes, and the steward is responsible, the steward receives the benefits of the Li family, and the parents dare not speak and can only endure it all the time."

Dad said, even if I told the owner of the farm, it was useless. There were many tenants, so they didn't need to plant.

Zhulan looked at the little boy. The five or six-year-olds in ancient times were indeed relatively precocious, but this child is very clear about his conditioning. From the perspective of a child, an adult's education is also good. "Who is in your family?"

The boy was a little wary, "What do you ask this for?"

Zhulan smiled, no need to ask, a few women ran over from a distance, it should be the mother of these children.

Zhu Lan stood up, and the five children hid behind the women. Zhu Lan looked at the boy's mother, although the clothes were old and clean, the boy was the cleanest among the five children.

Zhu Lan said, "I bought this village. I'll call all the heads of the households when I go home. By the way, the fields will still be rented to you, so you don't have to be nervous."

The women breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they continued renting out the land.

Zhulan returned to Zhuangzi's yard. She looked at it in a hurry last time, but this time she looked carefully. After turning around and returning to the front yard, all the tenants on the Zhuangzi had arrived.

There are 20 tenant households in the 200-mu Zhuangzi, and each family rents land ranging from 20 mu more to 5 mu less.

Twenty tenants headed men, the older ones looked fifty or sixty years old, while the younger ones were in their thirties.

Those in their thirties are basically separated from their families and rent fields alone to live.

Bamboo orchid came to know a lot about tenants in ancient times. Some tenants have been there for generations.

Zhulan looked at the head of the tenant who was standing at the front. When she was walking around the house just now, she asked Zhou Lao Er and Steward Ding to ask the nearby farmers. She didn't fully believe the child's words, and now she asked clearly.

Zhulan motioned to Zhou Lao Er to come forward, and this matter was handed over to Zhou Lao Er, and it was also Zhou Lao Er who dealt with the tenant after that.

Zhou Lao Er suppressed his excitement and imitated his father's appearance, "This village has changed its surname, and the land will still be rented to you, but the person in charge will change. The land can still be rented, as for why the Li family was changed, I will not explain."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Lao Er. She gave Zhou Lao Er the responsibility, but didn't tell Zhou Lao Er how to deal with the Li family. Zhou Lao Er was indeed the worst offender in the family. The entire Zhuangzi was dissatisfied with the Li family. The Li family rented the fields It won't be much better. Without the feared identity, he will definitely return it to the Li family when he is angry before.

Zhou Lao Er said plainly that he forced the Li family to go by himself, and he also gained a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

When Li Dianhu came, he knew that the new owner had inquired about him, he knew that his life was gone, and he knew that Zhuangzi was going to sell, so he was ready, and stepped forward and said, "I have some silver in my hand, and I want to buy it in the future. Farming the land will not be rented.”

Zhou Lao Er smiled, "Okay."

Zhou Lao Er paused and continued, "Then let's talk about the new rent for four or six cents."

Li tenant was stunned, and the other tenants cheered happily.

Zhulan watched Zhou Laoer re-sign the deed. Zhuangzi also dealt with it, and went door to door to see it. Zhulan was quite satisfied with Zhou Laoer's ability to handle affairs.

In the afternoon, I went to another Zhuangzi, and Zhulan didn't care, and the other Zhuangzi's tenant account was not changed.

Zhuangzi and the shop made arrangements. Zhulan asked Zhou Lao Er to pick and buy a lot of green vegetables. The vegetables were mainly peppers, pumpkins, and winter melons that could fit in. They also bought some fruits, such as longan and oranges.

There is seafood here in Jinzhou, but they are all dried seafood, and Zhulan also bought a lot.

There are four more carriages ready to leave, and the carriages are basically full of food.

Only four hundred taels of silver remained in Zhulan's hand.

The boat going back to the city didn't go slowly with the wind, and it would stop from time to time. Zhulan was a little impatient, she wanted to go home earlier, she missed Zhou Shuren, and she didn't know how Zhou Shuren was at home.

Along the way She can write a letter back, but she can't receive Zhou Shurenxin, who told her to hurry!

At noon, the boat docked again, and Zhou Lao Er couldn't stay on the boat any longer.

Zhulan didn't get off the boat and stood on the deck watching the bustling port, because the New Year was approaching, and the port was crowded with people.

Zhu Lan suddenly squinted and leaned forward, frightening Boss Zhou.

Boss Zhou hurriedly stopped, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Zhulan just wanted to see the person clearly, but Boss Zhou blocked it, pushed him away and disappeared.
