Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 156

Unexpectedly, the leader of the farmer smiled and said: "Hey, don't say [-]%...[-]%, we don't plant your land anymore. The county master gave us a new land, and we only need to pay [-]% of the rent every year, plus food. Taxes, the rest belong to our peasants, although the allocated land is only half of the original, but it is much more cost-effective than planting your land, and it is not so tiring."

"If Mr. Hu has nothing to do, we can leave, there is still work to do in the field..."

The farmers smiled plainly, greeted each other and walked out.

Hu Lai and the squires were still in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard.

These farmers... actually have land to grow?

Still only charge rent... [-]%?How can this be!

After all the farmers had left, Hu Lai came to his senses. Looking at the other squires, they all had shocked expressions on their faces.

"Go and see..."

"Yes! Go and see it quickly!"

The squires ran out in a hurry, and several people squeezed into a carriage and rushed out of the city.

Qin Feng ordered people to reclaim the mountains as terraces. In fact, he never concealed it. It's just that the mountain is not close to Ninghai County, and the gentry never took Qin Feng's plan to "move the mountain" to heart. For a long time, no one was ever sent to see it.

Now that they arrived at the scene in a carriage, the squires saw the truth.

In front of everyone's eyes, the hilltops that were originally full of rocks and trees have turned into terraced fields one after another. Farmers from all over the county have come here to grow spinach and cabbage.

And more than one hill!
The country gentry saw not only the farmers, but also many refugees, who were actually working in the fields.

"This... how is this possible?"

"I thought it was a daydream that Qin Feng wanted to cultivate mountains and fields, but I didn't expect that he made such a field..."

After the shock, the squires immediately realized the crisis.

The farmers have planted Qin Feng's fields, so who will cultivate their fields?

Their land rent is high, and the farmers work hard for a whole year, and only get [-]% of the grain when they harvest, and the grain tax is deducted.

And Qin Feng's land here only charges [-]% of the rent, and anyone with a brain knows how to choose!
Big crisis!
Big crisis!
"What a disaster! This damn Qin Feng is going to cut off our money!"

Hu Lai thought about the key point, stamped his feet and beat his chest, furious.

Although these squires don't just rely on the fields to eat, but the fields account for at least half of their property!
If the fields are abandoned, it is equivalent to cutting off half of their flesh!

"No, this won't work! Find Qin Feng!"

Hu Lai jumped into the carriage, and the other gentry followed suit one after another.

The carriage turned around, returned to the city, and stopped directly at the gate of the county government office.

Hu Lai and the others got off the carriage and were about to rush into the county government office.

The yamen guard at the door directly drew a knife and stopped them outside: "Bold! The county yamen is also a place where you can break in?"

"We want to see Qin Feng!"

Hu Lai shouted excitedly.

The gatekeeper came up and gave him a kick: "Master Qin's name is also called by you casually? Get out! My lord has a lot of things to do every day, so I don't have time to see you!"

"you--"

Hu Lai sat down on the ground, looking at the yamen servant at the door in disbelief.

Once upon a time, the status of these squires in the county was higher than that of the county magistrate. When the yamen servants saw him, which ones didn't smile at each other and flattered him. How did they ever receive such treatment?
Ever since Qin Feng's temperament changed drastically, even the yamen servants in this yamen have become reckless.

Zhang Shun hurriedly helped Hu Lai up, and gave him a wink: "This time is different from the past, we are here today to solve a big problem, so don't be impulsive!"

Hu Lai glanced at Zhang Shun, stood up, flung his sleeves, and turned directly to the back.

Zhang Shun summed it up, if this matter is not handled well today, the interests of these squires in the future will be equivalent to being cut in half, even if it is for money, they must negotiate with Qin Feng.

He took a step forward and said to the yamen servant at the door: "Master, I'll come to see Mr. Qin, I have something important to discuss..."

"Isn't it possible to grow ears? As I said just now, Mr. Qin has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't have time to see you! Get lost!"

Yamen servants are not polite.

Before the words fell, Qin Feng's leisurely voice came from the yamen: "Who is disturbing outside?"

The yamen servant at the door immediately went in and reported back.

"My lord, it's Zhang Shun. Hu Lai and the squires are clamoring outside to see your lord, saying they have important matters to discuss."

"Oh? Then call them in."

"Yes!"

After receiving Qin Feng's order, the yamen servant came out and said to Zhang Shun and the others: "Come in with me, my lord wants to see you!"

"Hey, okay... please lead the way."

Walking into the main hall, Qin Feng stood inside with his hands behind his back.

"The squires have brought it, my lord."

"Well, you go down first."

Qin Fengping withdrew from the official post, turned around, and looked at Hu Lai and Zhang Shun and the others with a smile: "Aren't these officials Hu and Zhang? I don't know how many of them are coming to my yamen. What's the matter?"

"Qin Feng! Don't pretend to be garlic, you—"

"Hey..." Zhang Shun quickly persuaded Hu Lai: "Don't get angry!"

Hu Lai just shut up.

Zhang Shun said: "My lord, when I went out of the city today, I saw that your lord has reclaimed a mountain into good fields. It's really gratifying... Your lord is really generous, I admire you..."

Qin Feng smiled slightly, but didn't reply.

Zhang Shun went a step further and asked, "As the parent official of the county government, my lord has too many things to worry about. I'm afraid it's difficult to manage so many fields. I don't know if my lord has any intention to sell the land to me?"

Qin Feng couldn't help laughing, these guys thought really beautifully.

Relying on oppressing the people, stealing the land from the people is not counted, but he is still thinking about the fields he led the people to reclaim with hard work.

"Do? Sell it to you, so that you can collect [-]% of the land rent from the farmers?"

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe, you don't need to pay attention to how much rent you collect. If you want to sell these fields, I will buy them all. What you got is a waste of money. Isn't it better than your lord working all day? We are willing to follow The highest price to purchase and sell the land, even if it is an adult and an official, it will last for several lifetimes..."

Zhang Shun said with a smile, he believed that no one would refuse such a good thing as money.

Qin Feng did not expect that these country gentry's families were so wealthy. Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land reclaimed. Buying them all is definitely an astronomical figure.

As Zhang Shun said, with this amount of money, you can really eat for several lifetimes.

Unfortunately……

"Excuse me, I didn't reclaim these fields for sale. But the land in your hands, will no one cultivate it next year? I also intend to buy it. I don't know if you have any ideas for selling it? Huh?"

Qin Feng turned against the army.
