    ?

    Wangzhuang is located in the east of Qixian County. Come out from the east gate, walk along the official road to twenty miles, turn south and turn off the official road, and you can see Zhuangzi after walking three miles.

    There are two barren hills in Zhuangzi, and there are no ferocious beasts in them. On weekdays, only young and strong people will go in to catch a pheasant and a hare for a tooth-beating sacrifice.

    The 800 mu of paddy fields were originally good fields, but after two seasons of drought due to floods, weeds overgrown and the fertility was also very insufficient. Most of the 1,000 mu of dry land are now abandoned.

    ?The original 50 tenant farmers fled after the floods. Although some came back, there were only 20 or 30 tenant farmers left, which was nearly half less than before.

    These people are now only planting a few acres of dry land. With the Wang family exempting rent, it is still very difficult to barely guarantee that they will not starve to death and want to eat enough.

    Under the leadership of Steward Wang, the four of Chu Rong walked around the Zhuangzi, and when they met the tenant farmers in ragged clothes and numb eyes, even Huang Shuhai couldn't help frowning.

    "You have also seen the situation of Zhuangzi. These lands are all good. As long as you put in some effort to tidy them up, they will be able to cultivate in the first spring of next year. The tenants are also stable, and there are no such troublesome people."

    Steward Wang smiled, and invited Chu Rong and the others to walk into the village, "These tenants are all from Xiaowang Village, and their entire village has lived off this Zhuangzi for generations. To be honest, my master doesn't want to sell the Zhuangzi.  It's not that the eldest young master was sent to the Jinzhou mansion, and he insisted on picking up the master, so he thought about selling what can be sold, and it will be easy to leave when the time comes."

    "So that's how it is. Young Master Wang became an official at a young age, and he will definitely have a prosperous official career in the future. Master Wang is a blessed one." Chu Rong smiled and nodded, and after a few more words of praise, she changed the subject.  He hummed and said, "Housekeeper Wang, as you said just now, those fields have to be tidied up, and they have been deserted for a year, full of weeds, and it seems that they are not fertile, but now it is September, even today  Start tidying up, plus it will take a lot of effort to raise, and the spring planting will definitely be delayed."

    As she spoke, Chu Rong bent her lips and smiled, but her tone was helpless.  "After Zhuangzi bought it, he won't be able to cultivate it until the end of June next year at least. This five thousand taels is too much."

    Chu Rong's expression was indifferent, as if she really didn't have much interest in Zhuangzi. Fifteen thousand miles was the price given by the Wang family after the two parties met, and then there was the current Zhuangzi.

    ? According to the market price, ten taels is one mu of good land, five taels is one mu of dry land, and two taels is one mu of barren hills and wasteland.  Before the flood in this Zhuangzi, there were 800 mu of fertile land, 1,000 mu of dry land, and 1,000 mu of barren hills and wasteland. Plus some miscellaneous things, it can be sold for about 18,000 taels.

    If it is as before, the current price is indeed a lot cheaper, but the difference is that Zhuangzi has experienced a flood, and the fields and roads have been damaged to varying degrees. Naturally, it cannot be the previous algorithm.

    Seeing this situation, Butler Wang felt a little anxious. The young master sent a letter, and the pick-up was coming in ten days. Before coming, the master and wife also explained that Zhuangzi had to act quickly.

    To be honest, fifteen thousand taels is not worth it even to him, but this price is set by the wife, so what can he do.

    Steward Wang scolded a few words in his heart, wiped off his sweat, "No not much, this is it."

    Chu Rong raised her hand to prevent Steward Wang from continuing, shook her head slightly and said, "Ten thousand taels, please tell the boss of your house after Wang Steward returns. We will only pay ten thousand taels at most. If possible, you can sign a contract at any time.  But we only have to wait for one day, please give me an answer before the time mark tomorrow."

    After finishing speaking, without waiting for Steward Wang's reaction, Chu Rong turned around and greeted several people to get on the carriage.  She likes Zhuangzi, but it doesn't mean she wants to be taken advantage of. When Butler Wang talks about the price, he obviously lacks confidence. Even he thinks it's not worth it, let alone her as the buyer.

    In fact, Chu Rong guessed that the price should be set by the people in the palace. Maybe they haven't come to see it since the flood. The people below know that the owner is going to sell the Zhuangzi, so naturally they don't go to report the situation of the Zhuangzi.  I know that there are no more Zhuangtou and helpers in Zhuangzi.

    Saying that the Wang family is kind and don't rent a house to let the tenants farm the land, this kind of talk is just listened to. If it is true, you will really be laughed at as a fool.

    On Zhuangzi, the rent is mostly determined by the host family, basically it is set at 70%, of course there are those who are a little bit unscrupulous, and 60% is almost never, after all, the law stipulates that the highest is 80%.

    And this result led to a year of good weather. A family of six people occupied a total of 50 acres of paddy and dry fields, harvested twice, and after paying the rent and grain tax, they could barely eat enough.  I can go hungry.

    Since Chu Rong came to Wangzhuang, it is naturally impossible to completely?? According to the housekeeper¡¯s description, she asked the tenants on the pretext of being out of Wang¡¯s sight, and Wang Zhuang¡¯s rent was 80%, which was the highest category.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
