Chapter 1042: Greedy (3)
Dont underestimate this harvest. Although there is no spiritual spring water, the villagers of Chenjia Village still planted high-yielding rice with a yield of 1,100 kilograms per mu. This achievement is 110 kilograms, which is equivalent to the yield per mu in previous years. One-third of the total amount was much more than the 10% they originally embezzled.
With this 10%, each family that rents 200 acres of rice fields will gain at least 400 kilograms more harvest. These four hundred kilograms of rice can be exchanged for cheaper coarse grains, which can be exchanged for about eight hundred kilograms, which is enough to feed a family of five for a quarter.
Zhao Dafu had received the benefits in vain for ten years. The small portion of grain given to him by each family each time added up to more than the single household receiving the big share. Those tenants simply did not believe that he had the courage to leave these benefits behind. What could he say? I don't want to trade the rest.
For this reason, those people even threatened Zhao Dafu privately, but Zhao Dafu had no scruples and was not afraid at all. He even secretly told the new owner of the farm what they had done.
Those tenants no longer had anything to threaten Zhao Dafu, and they were worried that they would not be able to rent land next year if they broke up with each other, so they had to make up the remaining 10% of the rent. They were unwilling to use their own quarter of the grain to buy the land from Zhao Dafu. Dafu returned home with the coarse grains he received.
Later, these people came to ask Zhao Dafu about the autumn plowing. Zhao Dafu only said that he had other arrangements and asked them not to worry. It was a tactful way to tell them that the rented land would be taken back.
Originally, this thousand acres of land is rented once a year, but the people in Chenjia Village have been renting and farming it for many years, and they have already acquiesced that these lands will always be farmed by them. In previous years, they would not specifically come to ask Zhao Dafu. Just because Zhuangzi changed his master, they were worried about the change so they asked. Unexpectedly, they got such a result.
Because of the 10% harvest incident, these tenants had a lot of objections to Zhuangzi's new owner, Mo Yan. Now seeing that she wanted to take back the land, they immediately quit and pulled Zhao Dafu to demand an explanation. The land was surrendered. Once they have sown, they cannot just take it back.
Zhao Dafu had been arguing with them for several days, but he still couldn't clarify the matter. Unexpectedly, those tenants actually did such a thing, which was really arrogant.
"The four cents of grain that those people received was more than all the grain they harvested in previous years. They could have had a good year, but they were not satisfied and still wanted to covet the 10 percent of the grain. It was really cheap and greedy. I think those things belong to me for granted! Now I am unwilling to hand over the land, and I use innocent people to test my bottom line. What a shame!" Mo Yan was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed.
"Isn't this normal? Once something starts, it's hard to stop it. Those people have been greedy for so many years and regard that 10% of the food as their own. Only if you let them spit it out will they be willing to do so. Weird." Xue Tuanzi explained, it has seen this kind of thing a lot, not only in the ordinary world, but also in the cultivation world.
"Before, I thought that their family had no land, and life would be even worse if the land was taken back. I was still struggling with whether or not to take it back. Now it seems that sympathy depends on the person! Since they are not satisfied, they also bring accusations to their door. , I will take this opportunity to take back the land and keep it for my own cultivation." Mo Yan was really angry at what those tenants had done. She rented the land to these bad-hearted people. She didn't know what would happen in the future. She also You are not a fool who foolishly throws your compassion to the ground for those people to trample on.
Xue Tuanzi raised his snail eyes in approval of this decision: "If people respect me, I will give them a foot in return! Since those people don't deserve sympathy, you can do whatever you want!"
Mo Yan nodded and went back to the house to change her clothes. Seeing that her two sisters were already asleep, she covered them with quilts and headed towards the front yard with the snow dumplings she wanted to accompany her.
