I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 530 The first meeting with tenant farmers

 Zhang Baozheng looked at Bai Yunxi’s worried expression and spoke in a deep voice,

"The Qin family cannot stand up for trouble. It is just because they are unwilling to give in. I am telling you to be mentally prepared. After all, the reason why the Qin family lost Zhuangzi is not very good. It is good to have an idea of ​​how to deal with it."

After Baiyunxi thanked him, he took Wenyou out of the town and went directly to the village. With the land deed in his hand, it was logical to go to the village to check the situation.

By the way, I would like to tell the tenant farmers that the owner of Zhuangzi has changed, and the lease documents also need to be replaced.

As for the document she signed with the Qin family, she wanted to take it back. By the way, she wanted to see what percentage of the rent the Qin family had customized. She could just follow it and save the tenants from worrying.

There were many tenant farmers in the Song Dynasty, and there were also many landlords and gentry who owned large amounts of land. The rents were naturally varied, ranging from 50 to 50 cents, 46 cents to 37 cents, and even more exorbitant ones to 28 cents.

 There is no other reason. The rules are made by the landlords, the court does not care, and the tenant farmers have no say.

 In addition to being sad about this, Bai Yunxi was also secretly glad that it would save a lot of trouble for a powerless small landowner like her.

 Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, no matter how much land you have, you are still a farmer. It does not affect the children's studies and scientific examinations, and they can still own assets. This is the main reason why she determined to become a local housewife. The Song Dynasty's policy towards landlords was really friendly.

As soon as Baiyunxi and Wenyou stood beside the field, they were discovered by the tenant farmers.

They watched the two people in Baiyunxi for a while, then bravely came over. They pushed each other a few times, and hesitantly took a few steps closer, with uneasy eyes.

 “Are you the new owner?”

Baiyunxi looked at their cautious appearance and nodded gently.

 “Yes, I am the new owner.”

Hearing Baiyunxi's admission, several tenant farmers looked at each other and asked cautiously again.

 “Are you here to inspect the farmland or do you want to take it away?”

Before Bai Yunxi could say anything, several middle-aged women who came after her bravely squeezed over, looking at Bai Yunxi with pleading eyes.

“Boss, we have taken good care of the fields and worked very hard, will you let us continue planting?”

"Yes, we never waste the fields, and we are reluctant to do so. In order to harvest more, we spend all our time in the fields every day except sleeping. We are very diligent."

Hearing their tone, Baiyunxi waved his hand.

"You don't have to worry, just farm well. As long as you plant well and the harvest is high, I will naturally not take the land back. But if I meet those who are sneaky and sneaky, or the harvest in the field is not high, then I will Think about it carefully.”

　　Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at Bai Yunxi's promise and looked at her gratefully.

"That's good. Don't worry, boss. As long as you don't take the field back, we will definitely take it seriously."

“Yes, this is the only way we can support our families. If we lose our fields, we tenant farmers will be homeless.”

At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked out of the crowd and looked to be in his sixties.

He stood in front of everyone on crutches and slightly arched his hands towards Baiyun River.

“Little old man is the patriarch of this small village. My surname is Wang. There are only about thirty households in our village, all of whom are members of the Wang clan.”

“Eight of the families have leased land from the Qin family. Now that they have changed owners, they feel uneasy and asked the old man to come and ask a few questions and ask the owner not to be offended.”
