Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 157
"You want the land in our hands! You are... wishful thinking!"

Hu Lai was furious, and no matter where it was, he pointed at Qin Feng's nose and yelled.

Fortunately, Qin Feng was in a good mood watching these gentry walk into a dead end, and he didn't care about this guy at all.

"I just mentioned it casually. It's up to you whether to sell it or not."

Qin Feng sneered twice and said leisurely: "Hahahaha, there are only a limited number of farmers in Ninghai County, and all the land reclaimed by people in this county is good land, and only [-]% of the rent is charged."

"Although there are more refugees now, there are no limits to the mountains, and you can continue to cultivate them. As long as you don't lower the rent to the same as the rent of the land under my jurisdiction, it is impossible for anyone to be stupid enough to work for you."

"It's like this this year, and it will be like this every year in the future. To be honest, it's better to sell the land to the county than let it go unused every year in your hands."

After hearing this, the gentry's faces were as uncomfortable as if they were forced to eat shit.

[-]% rent?

How can it be!I used to get [-]%, but those poor farmers!
If only [-]% of the rent was collected, wouldn't the life of those peasant households be better than those of the country gentry after a long time?

It's not enough to worry about collecting only a little food for a year!

Absolutely not!

Several squires gathered together and whispered to each other, and looked at Qin Feng again, as if they were looking at enemies.

They never expected that Qin Feng would come up with such a trick. This is to cut off their money!
Today's Qin Feng, in the eyes of the country gentry, has already been equated with a treacherous person.

If a treacherous person wants to buy their land for money, they will naturally refuse.

"Qin Feng! No matter what you say, we won't be fooled by you. My ancestors have been wealthy households in Ninghai County for generations, but there is no food harvest, so we can't hurt our roots! Don't even think about this land. ! Even if we use this land to build a house and sell it, we will never sell it to you!"

After discussing with Zhang Shun and others, Hu Lai came up with such a counterattack.

Qin Feng shook his head slowly, took two steps closer to several people, and said, "That's impossible!"

"Although the land was given to you by the farmers, the imperial court clearly stipulates that the land can only be used for farming."

"If you dare to build a house on it, you are violating the court regulations. Believe it or not, you build it first! I will ask someone to tear it down for you?"

One word from Qin Feng made the squires choke.

Although these squires have more or less relations with the officialdom, it is a personal relationship after all.

They would never dare to go against the imperial court.

"Qin wants to spend money to buy your land, and it's out of good intentions. You can decide for yourself whether to sell it or not."

"But if you don't sell it, you will have to cultivate this field yourself, or leave it lying there, and you can handle it yourself. The county has to deal with chores, and you have nothing else to do, so you can leave! Come on, see off the guests !"

Qin Feng issued an order to chase away guests.

Several yamen servants immediately came up and pushed the squires to go out.

"go!"

"Get lost! Don't miss our county magistrate's work!"

The squires who wanted to leave and those who didn't want to leave were all pushed out, and several people became anxious.

Some of these squires had both land and shops, and they could not starve to death without farming.

But some are pure landlords who rely entirely on oppressing farmers to grow grain for them to make money. No one is cultivating this land, which is equivalent to killing them!

"No, let me go back...I want to ask Mr. Qin how to collect the land..."

"No! What if you sell the land to Qin Feng and ask him to rent out [-]% of the land, what will you do with the land of us people? At this time, we should be in the same breath!"

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you don't have to worry about your land being barren for a few years. There are still shops at home, but how will I wait for those who rely on peasants for food in the future? If there is no income, will you give me money?"

The country gentry started arguing, arguing and arguing, and someone said: "It's all because Mr. Hu is greedy, he insisted on raising the rent, and raised all the farmers to Qin Feng's land!"

Hu Lai was anxious when he heard this, and shouted: "How can you blame me? How could I have thought that Qin Feng would do this? Qin Feng asked people to open mountains and cultivate fields, you should have thought of this day! I just don't raise the rent, Do you think you can keep those farmers? Qin Feng only charges [-]% of the rent!"

Hu Lai's words hit the point.

After Qin Feng knew that the land distribution in Ninghai County was so deformed, he deliberately managed it. From the very beginning, he asked people to go to the mountains to cultivate fields, and he thought of today.

Not to mention that these country gentlemen have always had conflicts with him, even if the relationship between the two parties is maintained very well, things will develop to this point.

After all, Qin Feng is a person who traveled back from the future, and his ideas are naturally much more advanced than those squires who can only exploit farmers, and he has more empathy than these landlords who only think about how to eat people.

It is really a blessing for the county residents to have Qin Feng as the county magistrate in Ninghai County.

Hearing what Hu Lai said, the gentry fell silent and stopped talking.

After stopping at the gate of the yamen for a long time, someone still made a decision: "No! This land will continue to be desolate, and my family will starve to death in a few years. It is better to sell the land and exchange some money for business. My family With the most land, the most unbearable torment!"

The squire ran to the gate of the yamen: "Master, please tell Mr. Qin that the villain is willing to sell the land and wants to negotiate the price..."

"Wait!"

The yamen servant turned and went in.

The other landlords couldn't hold back either, and stood with the man.

Hu Lai and the other squires looked at this posture and knew that it was impossible to stop them. After thinking about it, Qin Feng had already reclaimed a lot of good land. It's nothing interesting, so they all stood up and waited outside together.

Not long after, Qin Feng came out in person.

"Why, have you changed your mind?"

Qin Feng asked.

The squire who was about to sell the land had a bitter face, and instead of talking about the land sale, he asked: "Master Qin, I really don't understand... Since you have reclaimed so many good fields, why don't you charge more?" Land rent? Like me, we collect [-]% of the rent, and in less than two years, we can accumulate tens of thousands of wealth, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Qin Feng sneered twice, without explaining, just said: "How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan? You wait for the short-sightedness, and the plan in my heart, even if I tell you, you may not be able to understand. Or Don’t ask, just talk about the land.”

Qin Feng is not playing tricks, but really has a bigger vision.

What kind of skill is it for a person to get rich by defrauding and defrauding others?If you can lead a group of people to become rich, then you are capable.

As far as the current production level is concerned, so what if they are rich?The quality of life still cannot be improved.

What he wanted was a life that these squires couldn't even dream of.
