The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 436 Opportunity (3)
The boy chased after him.

In Leng's mansion, Leng Ba Tianzheng is happy not to spend money, it costs money to marry a wife, but his family makes money by marrying a wife, and now it is Xia Ning's dowry list, the Xia family only has Xia Ning's lineage, so Xia All of the family's century-old property belonged to Xia Ning'e, the pharmacy, the house, the land, and the cash, all of which amounted to tens of thousands of taels of silver!

When Leng Batian saw Leng Ye coming back, he didn't see his gloomy expression, but said happily: "Ye'er, come and see your future wife's dowry, it's really rich and unexpected!"

Leng Ye frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We are officials, she is a businessman, if the dowry is not generous, how did she get into this family?"

"Yes, yes, my son is right. You will go to Fucheng to take office in two months. You can take some money with you and manage it around! Although your starting point is low, you are only a seventh-rank county magistrate now, but You are smart, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future!" Leng Batian said hastily.

"Bring some? Dad, do you think that these dowries are a lot? It might not be enough to bring them all!" Leng Ye said in a deep voice.

Leng Batian was startled, and his heart tightened, although he was a little bit reluctant, but now he had to rely on his son to support his appearance. This son became a big official, and he was worried that he would not have the money to return, so he immediately said: "Okay, okay, then you Just take them all, Yeer, as long as you become a big official, dad will be happier than anyone else!"

Leng Ye snorted coldly, stepped forward to take the dowry list, and entered the room without looking back.

Leng Batian looked at his empty hands, could only sigh, and shouted loudly: "Old Wu, tell those bumpkins that the rent will increase by another [-]% in the second half of the year!"

Butler Wu heard it outside, and hurriedly responded.

Leng Batian wanted to raise the rent, and there was a lot of noise. A few days ago, the village names who had seen hope because they wanted to grow medicinal materials suddenly drooped their heads like frost-beaten eggplants.

At this moment, at noon, it is very hot near the Dragon Boat Festival, and the sun is very dazzling. In the past, at this time, it was the time when the big guys worked hard all morning and took advantage of the noon to sleep and rest, but now, all the people in the village gathered in the At the entrance of the village, everyone was frowning, because Leng Batian wanted to increase the rent on a sudden whim.

"The rent is already [-]%, and we need to add [-]%. This is [-]%. What do we have left?" I worked hard, planted five acres of land, and worked from dawn to dusk. In the past, I mixed stick noodles and sweet potatoes, which could barely fill my stomach. The child in the family was already ten years old, and he was about to get married in two years. No money left, I thought I finally found a way this year, worked with the Hao family for a year, had some money left, who would have heard that Leng Batian wanted to raise the rent suddenly, this...

"That's right, we worked from dawn to dusk for a year, and there was nothing left. That's it, why not go to the city to work, and earn some money leisurely!" Someone immediately echoed.

That's what everyone said, not everyone has the ability to work in the city and stand on their feet. What the city needs now are skilled people, such as bricklayers, carpenters, etc. They only have brute strength Yes, I can only go to the pier to carry a sack and do physical labor, but it is not easy to resist the sack. How many people in the village have hurt their waists, and in the end everyone can only come back to guard the two acres of land!

Yu Xiuman was smoking Da Han cigarette puffing there, also with a sad expression on his face.

Although he is the head of the village, he only owns two acres of land, and the remaining few acres of land are also leased to Leng's family. Besides, Taiping Village is a subsidiary village of Leng's family village, and there is no oil and water in the village. This is Yu Xiuman. The family is just a little bit better than ordinary people's!
"Hey, the big guys are here. My family wants to find people for planting this year. There are not many, and [-]% of the rent will be paid. This is [-]% lower than that of Leng's family. Anyone who wants to plant can hurry up with me. Said, after passing this village, there will be no such shop!" Pan Lianhua stood up in a flirtatious dress and said.

The Liu family's two mu of land had been sold before, but Pan Lianhua bought another five mu of wasteland for fear that Liu Erbao would lose all the gift money. The land was at the foot of the mountain and was so barren that he couldn't even earn money for seeds and fertilizers. Not to mention [-]%, even [-]% are not planted!

Several wives gave Pan Lianhua a hard look and ignored her.

Pan Lianhua waited proudly with her head held high. She didn't see anyone making a sound for a long time, and said to herself, "[-]% is also possible, but it can't be too low!"

Someone sneered, Pan Lianhua's face turned red all of a sudden, and was about to scold the shrew when Yu Xiuman said impatiently: "Liu family, didn't you see that these are all men discussing business, you are a woman who came out to disturb What is it? Go home!"

Pan Lianhua was blocked by Yu Xiuman all of a sudden, but she also knew that the women in the village were always in control, so she was so happy that she forgot all of a sudden, and immediately left in despair.

"A few acres of wasteland are still treasures, and it's safe to sell my daughter's money!" The old kidnapper spat fiercely at Pan Lianhua's back.

"Daughter-in-law Cao Big Nose saw Liu Xi when she went to the city last time, and she also saw her husband-in-law. She said that he was older than Liu Erbao. No wonder she sent someone to greet her when she went to welcome her. A good girl married An old man, he is also afraid that he will lose face!" Someone said again.

As soon as Cao Big Nose was mentioned, some people envied: "Now Cao Big Nose is very comfortable, working in Hao's family, the wages alone can support the whole family, and now the family does not rent the land of Leng's family, so there is no need to talk to us It's like being bullied by the Leng family like this!"

When everyone heard it, they all sighed.

Taiping Village is not big, there are only a few families living in it, and people in the village are easy to visit. Everyone can see clearly who eats what food and what clothes they wear on weekdays. He stewed meat and ate chicken in a few days. Everyone knows it by smelling it without looking at it. Now Cao Dabi’s son is less than four years old. They didn't earn from doing long-term work for the Hao family. At the beginning, some people laughed at the Cao family, saying that the Cao family worked for the Hao family and listened to others every day, but now everyone is jealous!

"Who told us not to get close to the Hao family? There is no such a good opportunity!" Someone sighed.

Yu Xiuman said: "Don't say anything useless, our Taiping Village has been renting the land of the Leng family for so many years, and the old man of the Leng family gave us a guarantee that we will never increase the rent. With this village, now that Leng Batian increases the rent casually, we can't live, and we can't just sit around like this. In this way, let's go to Leng Batian together in the afternoon and discuss it with him. If he refuses Rent reduction, don’t plant it!”

A few people nodded.
