"Aunt Zhang, I am Xiaofan, and I will always be everyone's Xiaofan."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Although Chen Fan looked smiling, all the tenants present were still very reserved.
After all, Chen Fan's identity is now different from before.
Not only is he the fifth richest man in Dongyang County, he is now their boss.
Whether they can continue to rent the Chen family's land and how much rent they charge is Chen Fan's final decision.
It can be said that Chen Fan's words can determine whether they will have food next year.
"Aunt Zhang, you forgot that you often made cakes for me to eat when you were a child."
"Uncle Zhao, you often took me to the river to fish when I was a child! One time I almost drowned, but you saved me!"
"Uncle Zhou, do you still remember that when I was a child, I climbed a tree to pick wild fruits and accidentally fell them. It was you who went to the mountains to find medicine for me, so I didn't have any sequelae!"
…
Chen Fan told these tenants what happened in the past.
Listening to Chen Fan's words, everyone knew that Chen Fan still remembered things from his childhood, and everyone gradually became less cautious.
"If I didn't take care of you when I was a child, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
"No matter who I am now, I will always be your Xiaofan."
Chen Fan said sincerely, and after speaking, he bowed deeply to the tenants present.
After listening to Chen Fan's words, he looked at Chen Fan's deep bow at this moment.
The tenants present also had red eyes at this time.
"Xiaofan, what are you doing!"
"Since you said so, let's just continue to shamelessly call you Xiaofan."
Aunt Zhang spoke and then helped Chen Fan up.
At this time, all the tenants nodded in agreement.
When Chen Fan saw this, he showed an innocent smile.
"I know that everyone who has come recently must be here for the Chen family's fields!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Hearing what Chen Fan said, the tenants present immediately became quiet.
"I have bought all the Chen family's fields. These fields will continue to be rented to everyone in the future."
Chen Fan said loudly.
Hearing this, all the tenants present breathed a sigh of relief.
What they were worried about was that Chen Fan would not rent these fields to them.
Although Grandma Chen Fan had been very harsh on them when she was in charge, at least they could still have some food to eat and not starve to death.
If these fields are not rented to them, then they may have nothing to eat next year and will starve to death.
"But the rent needs to be changed."
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Fan spoke again.
These words brought back the worries that everyone had just let go.
The current rent is already very harsh. If Chen Fan wants to increase the rent, then their work may be in vain.
Everyone looked at Chen Fan nervously at this time.
"Starting from this year, everyone's rent will be 10% of the annual grain harvest."
Chen Fan said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, all the tenants present were stunned, and they all secretly wondered if they had heard wrongly.
"Xiao Fan, did you say wrong, you only need 10% of the rent?"
Aunt Zhang looked at Chen Fan uncertainly and said.
"I said it right, and everyone heard it right. From now on, we just need to pay rent based on 10% of the grain."
"And you can sell your excess grain to me every year. I guarantee that the price for you will be 30% higher than the market price."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Fan say this, everyone present immediately laughed.
Chen Fan's rent is equivalent to giving up.
Moreover, the price of purchasing grain is 30% higher than the market price. Isn’t this giving them money?
Everyone present immediately looked at Chen Fan with excited eyes, and some even shed tears.
"Xiaofan, you are so good to us. We don't know how to repay you. Your rent should be higher!"
"And don't charge such high food prices."
"We all know that you are rich now, but you can't do business at a loss!"
Aunt Zhang said with tears.
"Yes, Xiaofan remembers us. That's because he is kind. We can't let Xiaofan suffer!"
"Xiao Fan, this rent is too low. You have to raise it, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable."
"If you don't set the rent higher, we'll be angry with you."
…
Everyone said one after another.
And the excited look showed that it was not just talk, but he really wanted Chen Fan to raise the rent.
The tenants took the initiative to ask the landlord to increase the rent. This must be the first time in Daxia!
But how could Chen Fan agree to them?
After all, this little money and this little food are just a drop in the bucket for Chen Fan now.
"If it weren't for everyone, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
"That's how the rent is set."
"If everyone is still dissatisfied, then I will have no choice but to rent the fields to others."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, these tenants could only say nothing more.
When Chen Fan left, everyone gave Chen Fan the most precious things at home.
Chen Fan rejected everyone's kindness, so they could only throw the things into Chen Fan's carriage.
After walking out of the village, Chen Fan's carriage contained a lot of eggs, as well as large and small chickens, ducks and geese.
There was even a little suckling pig.
"Ms. sir, you are such a kind person."
"If you become an official, you will definitely gain more support from the people."
The two sisters looked at Chen Fan with admiration and said.
Hearing this, Chen Fan could only smile and remain silent.
After returning home, Chen Fan also began to prepare for the recommendation.
Although Chen Fan just agreed casually, since he had already signed up, he had to submit an article.
The rules given by Kong Wenbo are also very simple. Those who sign up must submit a most satisfactory article within two days.
There is no limit on the subject matter or the number of words, allowing everyone to express themselves freely.
The two sisters took the initiative to go out at this time, worried that their presence here would affect Chen Fan's performance.
What was Chen Fan thinking about what he should write at this time?
Not long after, Chen Fan suddenly thought of a theme.
"On the Benefits of Business."
Chen Fan wrote such a title.
He knew that based on this title alone, he would definitely not be selected. After all, it was not in line with today's values.
However, Chen Fan still started to write and wrote out everything that was on his mind.
After all, Chen Fan never thought about being selected.
Chen Fan wrote thousands of words eloquently, all discussing the benefits of business to society.
When Chen Fan finished writing and walked out of the room, he happened to see the two sisters arguing about something.
He even blushed.
"What's wrong with you? What are you arguing about?"
Chen Fan asked curiously.
Because the two sisters usually have a very good relationship, even if they occasionally argue, they never get red-faced.
"My husband, there is someone who is pursuing my aunt. I think that person is not suitable for my aunt. You, my husband, are suitable for my aunt. Our wealth will not go to outsiders."
"But my sister just said that my husband can't be with my aunt, and that man is suitable for my aunt. Why is that! Isn't it good for our family to be together? Why do you want your aunt to marry an outsider?"
"My lord, please judge, which one of us is right?"
At this time, Yingxia came towards Chen Fan and said with an unconvinced look.
