Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

Li Dong came here in advance and gave Li Cheng instructions along the way. The tenant farmers in the village were all nearby farmers. They rented the land in the village all year round and paid rent regularly. Now that the deed has been transferred to Li Cheng's name, the lease has also been transferred to Li Cheng. And turned around, so those people also became Li Cheng's tenant farmers.

The village they live in is some distance away from the old house in the middle of the village. Nowadays, in addition to the Zhuangtou family, there are two other families living in the old house. They all depend on their boss to earn a living and take care of things in the village for him. .

The carriage drove from the not-so-wide path to the front of the house, which seemed to have not undergone much renovation in recent years. More than 20 people gathered at the door of the house, and they showed uneasiness when the carriage stopped.

Three men walked out of the crowd. Li Dong waited for Li Cheng to get off the carriage and said: "The oldest one walking in front is Ma, the head of Zhuangzi, and the two behind are the stewards of Zhuangzi. They are the only three households." I live in this house and take care of it. The two families didn’t come here very often before, so the main room in the house has always been empty. I’m afraid it’s deserted now, and it will need to be renovated if it’s inhabited again.”

Li Dong felt a little uncomfortable as he said this. He felt that the deal with the Qian Mansion was still a loss. It would cost a lot of money to repair such a dilapidated house.

"Are you... the new owner?" Ma Zhuangtou asked cautiously. The clothes he was wearing were still patched, which showed that this Zhuangtou didn't have any skills at all.

Li Dong looked familiar to him, as if he had bought it before to inquire about things.

Li Dong smiled very gently, which relaxed Mazhuangtou's nervous mood a lot. Li Dong said: "This is my young lady, and she will be the new owner here from now on. You old people should have some impressions, My young lady is a descendant of shopkeeper Yu. She just came back a few years ago and found out that there was an original Yu family's village here, so she bought it from Mr. Qian."

Ma Zhuangtou looked at Li Cheng excitedly, rubbed his hands and said, "You...are from my old club...are you the young lady?"

He knew that after his old employer passed away, Zhuangzi was managed by his son-in-law. But when Miss Yu also passed away, the Zhuangzi was changed hands, and there was no news about Yu's family since then.

The old man in Zhuangzi knows something about the situation in the town. Who doesn't call the son-in-law a white-eyed wolf in private? The young lady doesn't know what the consequences will be if she follows a father like that.

But now that he saw the grown-up little lady, Ma Zhuangtou burst into tears in his eyes. "It must be the little miss. The little miss looks so much like the young lady. I remember when my old boss often brought the young lady to live in our village, and sometimes he would work in the fields with us. That was the best boss and young lady. "

Li Cheng nodded, seeing how these people missed him, he also felt a little emotional.She took a closer look at the appearance of the original person, and there was no appearance of her biological mother in the original person's memory, but she didn't look like Li Wenqing.Looking at the appearance of these people now, are they so similar to her biological mother?

"My name is Li Dong. You can call me Manager Li. Thank you for your hard work over the years. Let everyone disperse first. Ma Zhuangtou will tell me about the current situation in Zhuangzi."

"Hey, okay, okay." Mazhuangtou quickly wiped his tears and talked about the situation in the village while welcoming people into the house. When Li Cheng and others walked along, they had already seen a lot of land that had been turned over. Have cultivated it.

Zhuangzi's main house was in disrepair, so Ma Zhuangtou apologized and welcomed the people into his main room, and asked his wife to quickly boil water for the guests.

When Li Cheng was sitting in the main room, he looked at a five or six-year-old child by the door and peeked in. When he saw Li Cheng looking at him, he shrank back in fear, and then he heard the sound of scolding the child outside.

"That's my little grandson. That child is so naughty." Ma Zhuangtou said awkwardly. The conditions were too simple for a young lady.

"It's okay. Children should behave like children. Don't be restrained." Li Cheng said nonchalantly. The child's eyes were very clean. Li Cheng liked children like this.

Li Cheng had discovered before that the tenants in this village were far less well-dressed and handsome than the villagers in Zhengyang Village.But think about it, most people in Zhengyang Village have their own fields, the only difference is how much, and whatever is left after paying taxes belongs to them, but the tenant farmers here are different, they still have to pay rent to the owner of Zhuangzi.

When Li Dong made the handover with the Qian Mansion, he obtained the lease from the Qian family. The rent stated on it was as high as [-]%, which made Li Cheng speechless.One can imagine how much these tenant farmers will have left in their hands once they see the end of their busy life.

Mazhuangtou also had an account book, which recorded how many tenants there were in the village and how many acres of land they had rented for. Mazhuangtou sent the account book to Li Cheng.

"Mazhuangtou, you said the Qian family collected [-]% of the rent? Doesn't it say [-]% in the contract?" Li Cheng asked in surprise when he found that the two sides were inconsistent.

Seeing Mazhuangtou's troubled expression, Li Dong immediately understood what was going on and said on Mazhuangtou's behalf, "I'm afraid the remaining half was taken away by the steward who came down to collect the rent."

Mazhuangtou nodded.

Li Cheng asked again: "What percentage of the rent did the previous family and my grandfather receive?"

Mazhuangtou showed a naive smile and said: "The Zhao family used to charge [-]%. My old boss is the most kind. After including taxes, they only charge [-]%. When the harvest is not good, it will be reduced a bit."

"Miss, those who rent fields generally charge [-]% of the rent, and the more kind people only charge [-]%." Li Dong reminded from the side.

Li Cheng said: "Let me tell you first, since my grandpa only harvested [-]% of the harvest back then, I should still follow my grandpa's rules, but don't be busy planting seeds for the time being. I need someone to help me plant a few other things." Crops. For tenants who are willing to plant crops, I will ensure that their income will not be lower than [-]% of the harvest. If they cannot achieve it, I will provide corresponding compensation, and you will not suffer any loss. Mazhuangtou, please give the big guy some air first. Li Dong and I will go for a walk on Zhuangzi to see what's going on in the fields."

"Okay, okay," Mazhuangtou showed a grateful smile, "Miss is as kind-hearted as the old man. All the tenants in the village will be grateful to Miss. I will go and tell them right away." He changed his words along with Li Dong, which was regarded as recognition. Got a new owner.

Mazhuangtou hurried out, and before leaving, he sent his son to guide Li Cheng and others to prevent the unknown people on Zhuangzi from bumping into them.

Ma Zhuangtou's son Ma Xingwang is also a simple and honest man. The child just now was his, but even Zhuangtou's family has a look on their faces, which shows that life is really difficult.

"Because Zhuangzi is not big, the two owners behind it have not changed the original layout, so the west side of Zhuangzi is where poultry is raised. Miss and Manager Li should be careful where they step." Ma Xingwang reminded: "The chickens and ducks in Zhuangzi years ago Some of them were slaughtered and sent to Qian's Mansion, and some were sold for money and collected. Dad recorded it in his account book. This year's chickens and ducks have just been hatched and have not yet been released from the cage." Ma Xingwang was afraid that his boss would think they would be greedy, so Picking up the important things and explaining them.
