The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 128 The Black Hat ([-]rd)

"Hmm!" Qi Yaoyao pondered for a moment and looked at Shen Zhouheng and the others and said, "Let's put it this way!" A faint light flashed across his pitch-black eyes, "You are landlords with dozens of acres of land, and Qingfeng Now that the village has water, it doesn’t need to rely on the sky for food. The food grown by each household in a few acres can be completely self-sufficient, so they won’t rush to you as tenant farmers. The landlord borrows grain. If there are no tenant farmers to cultivate the land for the landlord, what will the landlord do?"

"Grow it yourself!" Chen said without thinking.

"Mother, when our family had [-] mu of land, we couldn't grow it at all, and we had to hire people when the farming was busy." Shen Zhouheng's amber pupils flickered slightly and said.

"That's right! If you have thousands of acres of land, you will definitely not be able to grow it. You can only rent out the land." Qi Yaoyao looked at them with seductive black eyes and said, "This tenant does not borrow the landlord's grain, and the landlord How to lend usury!"

"What is a usury?" Chen looked at her and asked with some confusion.

"It's just... loan sharks." Qi Yaoyao thought for a while and said.

Qi Yaoyao was as dark as thick, insoluble ink, and looked at them and said slowly, "Only if the landlord keeps giving loan sharks, can the landlord make the tenant farmers' grandparents unable to pay back, and the grandparents must give the landlord free land for generations. Woolen cloth!"

"Ah... this?" Chen's remarks to Qi Yaoyao were so startled that she could stuff an egg into her mouth.

"Why does it feel very familiar? Did it happen right next to you?" Qi Yaoyao looked at the two of them with dark eyes and said indifferently.

However, these words hit Shen Zhouheng's heart like a heavy hammer.

Qi Yaoyao looked at them with cold eyes and said coolly, "So the county magistrate and the others don't expect the water to be harvested. In essence, the landlord not only doesn't expect a good harvest of grain, but he also looks forward to the new year's harvest. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters every year, so the grain production is reduced, or even no harvest. This way, the peasant uncle will not be able to eat, and will sell his land. Only then will he go to the landlord to borrow money." The eyes like black jade turned on them Zhuan continued, "After the landlord leases the land to the peasants, he still has to take half of the harvest or even [-]% of the harvest for himself. After a year of hard work, the peasants basically have nothing in their hands. They have been farming for the landlord all their lives. Many farmers are After eating the last meal, I can only borrow money and grain from the landlord. As the interest piles up, the debt will be repaid more and more. Even my son and grandson can’t pay it. with debt.

But the landlords get something for nothing, eat wine in big bowls, eat meat in large pieces, wear gold and silver, and drink spicy food if they eat well.

This is really no idle land in the world, and the farmers are still starving to death. "

Let's stop the topic here, and let's go on, that is, the irreconcilable class contradictions and the contradictions between productive forces.

The landlords themselves tend to suppress the development of productive forces, which is the backwardness of the landlord class.

"This is the landlord!" Chen's mouth was open from ear to ear in shock, "This makes you speak too badly."

"This is the essence!" Qi Yaoyao looked at Chen Shi with dark eyes and said.

"That's over, Heng'er, according to Mrs. Qi, you won't be able to attract the water." Mrs. Chen looked at Shen Zhouheng worriedly and said.

Shen Zhou, who came back to his senses, looked at Qi Yaoyao and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"Heng'er has a solution?" Chen said happily, patted Shen Zhouheng on the back and said, "You are still smart." Asked curiously, "What way?"

"It's simple. The return from water diversion is definitely greater than the return of the county magistrate and the others from obtaining land and the population of Qingfeng Village!" Shen Zhouheng said, looking at them from the ground.

"Just because you said it means you didn't say it." Chen looked at him with pouted lips and said, "What is more attractive than land?"

Shen Zhou pointed to his head horizontally, reminding them.

"What are you referring to your own head for?" Mrs. Chen looked him up and down, and there was nothing above his head!

Qi Yaoyao's agile eyes rolled around, and suddenly she said, "Wu Shamao! Your official career is promoted!"

But the essence of this promotion is to get more land and tenants.

Shen Zhouheng looked at Qi Yaoyao in surprise, the smile on his face was comparable to the sunset.

"This temptation is not so great. If you are good at learning, you will be an official!" Mrs. Chen clapped her hands and looked at him with a smile on her face. Can be promoted!"

"I can't guarantee it." Shen Zhouheng looked at them very bachelor and said.

"What are you talking about?" Chen looked at him in disbelief and said, then said in a low voice, "Aren't you lying?"

"Mother, how can this be a lie!" Shen Zhouheng said with a treacherous smile across his eyes, "The water diversion has been successful, this is a certain performance appraisal, and there is hope for promotion. Otherwise, year after year Wasted time, when the age is reached, he will retire and go home to take care of the elderly. He is not yet forty, are you willing?"

"It depends on how you draw the cake." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with innocent eyes and teased.

"Hehe...I have to think about it carefully." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with jade-like eyes and said seriously.

"If you run out of good things to say, what will the county magistrate disagree with?" Qi Yaoyao stared at him as dark as ink and said.

"Then there is only a toast and no fine wine." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with deep eyes and said.

"What do you mean? How are you going to make them drink as a fine?" Chen looked at him curiously and asked, then said nervously, "You are not allowed to do stupid things!"

"You want to threaten them?" Qi Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him and said, "Use Hong's matter."

"Uh..." Shen Zhouheng said with a guilty index finger rubbing the tip of his nose, "Concealed, concealed."

"You are smart and others are not stupid, don't do this, this is the worst policy!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with a serious face and said, "Even if you agree to it under threat, I will trip you up afterwards, wear small shoes, and let you You can't move an inch. After all, he is a local snake, his ancestors have been in Pingyi for generations, and the clan is powerful, so don't use it hard, just trick the people who don't know where to go against you. You are finished."

"This is the last." Shen Zhouheng looked at her quickly and said, "I didn't think of doing this, and I knew it wouldn't work. It's just that I'm a little anxious to see how difficult it is for them to use water."

"You can't rush this matter. You've only been in Pingyi for less than three months. Not to mention that people don't recognize them all. You can't even measure Pingyi's mountains and rivers with your feet." Qi Yaoyao watched with warm eyes. He said, "You didn't come down from above with mountains of gold and silver. You came empty-handed, and you wanted to figure it out slowly. The government and the people can do it with one heart, and you can't do it alone."

Shen Zhouheng looked at her thoughtfully, "I know."
