Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 158

If nothing else, just talk about diet.

In such a large Ninghai County, there are not enough vegetables. Every year, some fresh vegetables can be eaten in autumn, and the rest of the time is basically rice.

Most of the meat is hunted by hunters. There are butchers in the county, but they just kill them and don’t raise them. The county has a population of more than 20. There are only thousands of people who raise pigs, chickens and ducks at home. Most people eat on weekdays. For "rice", most people can afford meat, but most people can't buy meat, even if they have money.

In addition, there are basically no public facilities. The common things in the county are probably dozens of wells scattered in the county, plus the big drum at the gate of the county government to avenge grievances.

I can't go out at night, and Qin Feng really can't understand what it means to be dark and blind without traveling to ancient times. When there is no moon, the surroundings are so dark that people panic, and the sun can't do anything when the sun goes down.

The medical conditions are poor, and there are not many people studying in the county, let alone those who study medicine. If you have a headache, even if you are the magistrate of the county, you may not be able to hire a doctor.

It's not that the doctor won't come, but that he's probably not there.

Are there people who don't want to study medicine?No, it's just that everyone is busy rushing to eat, so who the hell is interested in learning this and that?
All day long, the work in the fields occupies all the farmers' lives, and they have no time to care about anything else.

Entertainment...not to mention.

The most popular entertainment venue in the county was the former Cuixiang Building, which was investigated and dealt with because of the former owner.

Of course, even if there was no investigation, Qin Feng would not dare to go.

With the medical conditions these days, if you contract any disease, you will die...

In summary, is Qin Feng happy?
Qin Feng is not happy, even if he is a magistrate.

So he wants to change all that.

It is necessary to relieve the county residents who are struggling with food and clothing, and obtain more food and vegetables in a shorter time to maintain life and supplement nutrition.

Use the rest of your time to develop all aspects of society.

Regardless of the origin of the hero, no matter how poor the family is, it is possible to give birth to smart children, so that these people can get an education, join in all walks of life, and gradually change this ancient Dazhou into Qin Feng's ideal town!
In Ninghai County, the possibilities are unlimited!

This is Qin Feng's goal!

For this, he will never collect as much as [-]% of the land rent like other squires!
Because there is a pile of grain at home, it is meaningless!

It is meaningless to pile up a pile of money, but you can only buy food, and it is also meaningless if you can't do anything else!
"Since this is the case, I am willing to sell my land. I just want to ask Mr. Qin if he has enough money to buy the property we are waiting for..."

A squire spoke up.

Qin Feng smiled slightly, crossed his hands together, and kept turning his two thumbs around: "How much do you plan to sell for some land that is destined to be abandoned? Eight yuan per mu, whether you like it or not."

"What?! Eight coins?"

All the country gentry exploded, pointing at Qin Feng one by one angrily: "Qin Feng, you, you are deceiving people too much! Eight coins, where can you buy a field?"

"Qin Feng! Your price is too outrageous!"

"My land in Dazhou, good land, is five thousand coins per mu. Even if it is barren land, it costs three thousand coins per mu, which is at least three taels of silver. You, you actually only give eight coins, you It's better to grab it tomorrow!"

Qin Feng squinted at them, and said with a sneer: "The county gives the price, and whether you sell it or not is up to you. If you don't sell it to the county, you can try who you can sell it to."

"We are selling to farmers! We will not sell to you, a black-hearted person!"

the squires cursed indignantly.

Qin Feng laughed: "Hahaha, if you are willing to sell to farmers, you can do it. This is your freedom. I just don't know if you have so many fields in your hands, and whether the farmers have enough money..."

After finishing speaking, Qin Feng turned around and entered the Yamen without looking back, without giving the gentry a chance to bargain.

It is not impossible for the gentry to sell an acre of land to farmers for three taels of silver.

But the problem is that now the yield per mu is high, and farmers don’t need to pay rent when selling to farmers. Originally, it was enough for a family to cultivate [-] or [-] acres of land, but now only half of it is enough.They are bound to leave half of the fields unsold.

And even if it is more than 20 mu of land for a family, it costs 60 taels of silver.

These squires spend 2 taels of silver on weekdays and don't take it seriously, but how can these farmers' families come up with so much money?

It is not easy for the farmers to live in poverty every year, so there is no need to talk about savings. If a family can spend ten taels of silver, it is already a very good family.

Most of the peasants, who were exploited by squires like them, might not even be able to get five taels of silver.

The squires were suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Selling to farmers, farmers can't eat.Selling it to Qin Feng, the price is too low.

After thinking about it, they thought of one person: Su Jin.

"Go to the Su family! The Su family has a big business, even if the land in the whole county is sold to her, she should be able to eat it."

"Yes! Even if it's cheaper for the Su family, you can't sell it to a black-hearted person like Qin Feng!"

"But, the Su family... Will they take it? They bought the land, just like us, they will be rented by Qin Feng and they will not be able to invite anyone..."

"What do you care about her! As long as we can sell the land, isn't it all right?"

Several squires quarreled and quarreled, and finally they all came to Su's house and found Su Jin.

Su Jin warmly received them.

"To tell you the truth, my Su family's energy is limited, and I planned to dispose of my own property and stop doing the grain store business. I didn't think so, but I thought of it with you..."

Su Jin smiled charmingly at everyone.

A few squires responded with a smile: "That's really a hero who sees the same thing. We don't plan to do food business anymore, but we old guys are mainly old. You are still young, so don't worry about it." It’s a pity that good business is not done!”

"That's right, after I don't do business in the grain store, you will be the only one selling grain in the grain store in Ninghai County! This is a unique advantage! When the time comes, the price of grain in the whole county will be decided by you, the Su family. !"

"That's right! So, Miss Su, look at the land in our hands, it's not as good as your Su family, right? We have negotiated and unified the price. One mu of land is calculated as three taels of silver..."

Several squires said with smiles.

Su Jin giggled like a silver bell.

"It's not impossible to take your land, but the price you charge is too high. I, Su Jin, only pay one and a half silver per mu of land."

"This is too low!"

"It's better than the eight coins that Master Qin gave you, right?"

When the squire heard this, Lian immediately pulled him down.

"So you already know!"

"Yes, it's up to you whether to sell it or not. If you don't sell it to Su Jin, your land will really rot in your hands."

The gentry never imagined that even Su Jin would lower the price, and they, who have always been domineering in Ninghai County, would be cornered one day!
Although the squires were upset in their hearts, the reality was that they had nothing to do.

If you sell the land, you can exchange it for some money. If you don’t sell it and no one cultivates it, the land will be desolate within a few years...

It will be worthless then!

They suddenly realized that the days of exploiting farmers were gone forever.

After all, [-]% of the rented land is cultivated, and you can live a prosperous life by doing half of the work in the past. Who will come back and be exploited by them?
After much deliberation and internal quarrel for a long time, the gentry finally came to a unified opinion.

Sell!
Sell ​​it to Su Jin!

Even if it hurts like a knife, it must be sold!
