The first step starts with farming
Half of the arable land is used to grow food, and the other half is used to grow vegetables?
This decision made most of the tenants in Xiaoyangzhuang unacceptable, and everyone wished to plant crops even in the crevices of the rocks.
Now they have to reduce half of the arable land to grow vegetables, of course they don’t want to.
Where are vegetables usually grown? The open space in front of the house or behind the house, or the hillside land that is not convenient for cultivation.
In short, where they can grow food, they are unwilling to grow other things.
Originally, the rent was collected in advance this time and their savings have been exhausted. If they can no longer grow food, will they be able to live with their belts tight for the next year?
However, the tenants did not make any noise. Instead, they all looked at one person, Old Uncle Tian!
Seeing that everyone was looking at this person, Yang Guang knew that this was probably a more prestigious person in Zhuangzi. As long as this person is settled, there is no need to worry about other people’s opposition.
Lao Tian lived up to expectations and said, “Accordingly, we should have followed the boss’s arrangement. It’s just that the old lady of the boss’s family came to collect the rent in advance, and now there is not much food left by each household.”
“For the first half of the year, it’s okay to tighten your belt. If you don’t grow crops in the fields and don’t have enough food in the second half of the year, you’ll be starving.”
“Boss, it’s not that we don’t want to plant, it’s just that the boss has to consider our situation.”
They are tenants, not slaves of the Yang family, so naturally they have to discuss it now.
If it really doesn’t make sense, the big deal is not to plant the Yang family’s land, but Yang Guang has to return the rent that was handed over.
Guanshi Zhang’s face was also a little ugly. At first, he thought that his young master was here for a formality, and he had already prepared the draft.
I didn’t expect this young master to act recklessly as soon as he came up, reducing the grain planting by half. When paying taxes, he won’t let you use vegetables instead of grain!
But the big crowd can’t let the owner lose face, it seems that they can only make other arrangements later.
Steward Zhang has already decided to go to the city of Shenjing to meet the master immediately after the business is over. If the young master does this, the farmers in the village may run away.
Yang Guang didn’t know that his housekeeper was already considering suing his cheap father.
Seeing Lao Tian put forward their opinions, Yang Guang knew about it and it was done.
“What’s the name of this old man? It seems that everyone listens to you very much.” Yang Guang asked after saluting to Old Uncle Tian.
Uncle Lao Tian has never received such treatment, he hastily avoided and returned the gift before saying, “Don’t dare to call me that, the boss can just call me Lao Tian.”
“I’m just older and know more about the farmland, so everyone is willing to listen to me, it’s nothing.”Yang Guang nodded and said, “Elders are respected. If that’s the case, let’s call you Uncle Tian.”
“About your concerns, I have actually taken them into consideration. This time I have brought out better seeds than before.”
“This time, the yield per acre of the fine varieties can reach eight stones, and it will be even higher if the cultivation is done well.”
“In this way, even if the arable land is reduced by half, you will only get more food, not less, so the problem will be solved.”
What Yang Guang said was like a dream to every tenant.
The yield of eight stones per mu of land, is this something that people can say? Still doing well, can there be more?
Could it be that this boss has lost his mind, or is he just trying to lie to us?
Lao Tian stammered and said, “Dong, Dong, this, this, you can’t talk nonsense, if the output of eight stones per mu can’t come out, this…”
Yang Guang interrupted him and said, “If you can’t get out, I’ll make up the difference for each of your households at eight stones per mu, how about it?”
“Now you only need to answer whether you want to try the improved seeds I provided, and the other thing is to reduce half of the arable land for growing vegetables.”
Lao Tian also woke up from the previous shock, and said as if he had discovered Hua Dian: “Boss, since the good seeds are so high-yielding, why don’t they all grow grain?”
“But because the rent was collected in advance, if this is the case, we are willing to pay again.”
Lao Tian obviously thought that the owner had high-yield seeds, but because the rent was collected before, the owner did not get a share of the harvested grain now.
That’s why the boss didn’t want to plant all the food at the expense of them, and instead arranged for them to grow vegetables.
I have to say that Lao Tian thought a little too much.
Yang Guang explained: “Although the yield of fine varieties is high, you can’t just eat food. Besides, after autumn, there will be more food, and the price of food will definitely fall. No matter how much food you have, you won’t be able to exchange it for money.”
“Instead, it’s this vegetable. You can eat it yourself or sell it. How many households in Shenjing City, and how much vegetable does each household consume every day?”
“The growth cycle of this vegetable is short, and the quantity is not bad. From now until winter, how many stubbles of income can be brought, all of which are money.”
“With money, you can buy fabrics, jewelry, and all kinds of good things that you could only see but not think about before. Think about it for yourself.”
After Yang Guang finished speaking, these tenants were all in the imagination.
Obviously, Yang Guang’s rhetoric moved them. According to what Yang Guang said, it means that the grain harvest has been bumper and there is more money in hand. This is the rhythm of a good year.
good or not? That’s really great, it’s just that such a good thing was donated by the owner for free.
Ask them if they dare to believe it? Anyway, Lao Tian definitely didn’t believe it, and the owner might have good intentions.
But the boss will definitely never do things that are at a disadvantage.
“Boss, I don’t understand, since you have such a good business, why do you do it for us?” Lao Tian couldn’t help asking after all.
The others were worried because they were afraid that the boss would not do it for them, but they were also curious.
Yang Guangdao: “Old Tian, there are some things, it’s useless to just talk about them. I won’t give you a chance to try. Will you be willing to do this in the future?”
“Although I don’t have any rent this year, as long as you get the benefits this year, you will know what to do in the future.”
“As for why I don’t do it myself, although I have land, I don’t have that many people on hand, not to mention I’m impatient to take care of the land’s affairs.”
“It’s good for both of us to cooperate. I’m not the kind of person who likes to monopolize. You’ll know in the future.”
“By the way, I plan to build a blacksmith shop and a barn on the village later. The tools and animals for farming in the future will be rented there. Of course, you can also buy them. You decide how to do it.”
“The seeds will be distributed by Manager Zhang later. Now you decide whether to stay with me and follow my method, or leave my little village.”
Many tenants looked at each other, but none of them was willing to leave in the end, and they all acquiesced to Yang Guang’s decision.
