Wang Si sighed and said: "My boss, to be honest, those with a small family will be able to fill their stomachs, but those with a large family will not be able to eat enough. If they don't have any money left, they have to borrow food from Master Xu. This happens every year."
Liu Anan nodded, thought for a while and said slowly: "I only charge 30% of the rent. If there is surplus grain at home and you want to sell it for money, just sell it to Zhuangzi directly. I will give you three cents more than other places." Come and recycle.”
"Is what the boss said true?"
Liu He and Wang Si opened their mouths and stared at the little boss in disbelief.
"Of course what I said is true."
"On behalf of all the tenants, I would like to thank my employer for your great kindness!" Liu He and Wang Si knelt down again and kowtowed.
Liu Anan looked at the sky speechlessly and smiled, "You two, get up quickly and do your best in the future."
Liu He and Wang Si then stood up.
"After this crop of wheat is harvested, I want to plant a crop of soybeans. What do you think?"
Liu Anan suddenly thought that she had been eating sesame oil and oil for so long, and had never eaten soybean oil or peanut oil at all.
Soybeans are one of the oldest crops in China. It was during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the oil was actually pressed into oil and served to the people's tables.
Nut crops, including peanuts and sunflowers, are also related to immature pressing technology.
But you can try it yourself, at least you can change your taste.
"Master, it's no problem. In the past, soybeans were planted after the wheat harvest." Liu He replied.
"Liu He, go ahead and inform the tenants that the new owner will only charge 30% of the rent from now on. If there is a disaster, the rent will be waived. If the surplus grain is sold, Zhuangzi will recycle it at three cents higher than the market price and plant soybeans in the next crop."
"Also, if Zhuangzi has a good harvest at the end of the year, the new owner will build a private school on Zhuangzi. So that our children can study, it will only cost 60% of the money from outside."
"Yes, boss!" Liu He grinned and responded loudly. The loud voice shook his ears, and Lian Sheng quickly covered Liu Anan's ears.
Everyone present also burst into laughter.
There are also some tenants who came here, and they were as excited as stepping on cotton. Today is really a happy day.
Liu He scratched his head, bowed and took a few steps back, then turned around and ran away in large strides.
"Liu He is someone who knows the importance and the rules." Lian Sheng said approvingly.
Liu Anan raised her beautiful eyebrows, "I have good taste, right?"
Seeing the little girl's proud look, Lian Sheng's eyes were full of doting.
"Wang Si, take me to see the orchard and vegetable garden." Liu Anan stood up.
The group of people came to the orchard again.
From Wang Si's introduction, Liu An'an knew that the existing fruit trees in the orchard were pears and peaches, and there was actually nearly fifty acres of vineyards!
Mr. Xu is such a wonderful person, he can actually have such a large vineyard. Liu Anan's favorite wine in his previous life was wine. Drink a little when you have nothing to do, it can soften your blood vessels and beautify your face.
China has a long history of grape cultivation.
According to historical records, the grape planting area was only more than 4,000 acres in the early Western Han Dynasty, and grew to more than 100,000 acres by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
However, in Liu An'an's era, wine was still limited to the aristocracy. With the luminous cup of grape wine, Liu An'an decided to make money from the rich.
Making high-end wine by himself and matching it with high-end wineware has already taken shape in Liu Anan's mind.
"Vineyards need to be more closely monitored, which is of great use to me. Pears and peaches need to find ways to increase their yield, size and sweetness."
"Master, there is no problem with grapes, but pears and peaches are also grown in large quantities in other places, so they are not considered novel fruits."
"I know, I don't sell fruit. Once the weather gets cooler and there are less fruits in the north, pears and peaches can show their talents."
Wang Si is indeed a master of tricks. When Liu Anan mentioned something, he immediately understood it.
"My boss, are you saying that there is a way to store pears and peaches and sell them in winter when there is less fruit?"
Liu Anan smiled and nodded, "The meaning is similar, but I will change their form."
This form is canned fruit.
"At that time, we can go to other places to purchase large quantities of fruits." Wang Si's reaction was also very quick.
"You will be responsible for this from now on. As for the orchard, your old man will also help you with it. You may have a harder time in the future."
"Little people are not afraid of hard work!"
Wang Si felt that his whole body was full of strength now. He could run from Zhuangzi to the capital in one breath.
Lian Sheng looked at the little girl with more and more enthusiasm. How many surprises did his little girl have for him?
She can use grapes to make wine and store fresh fruits in cans. You must know that there are no fruits to eat in the winter in the north. Even if there are some, only the rich and powerful have some.
I don’t know how the little girl can hide fruits in jars.
He discovered more and more that his little girl was like a little fairy in the sky who accidentally fell into the mortal world. How lucky he was to meet her in his next life.
She is his salvation and his motivation to move forward.
Gale, Eryu, Leopard, and Cuihua looked at his girl with stars in their eyes.
After Liu Anan and Wang Si discussed the orchard and looked at the vegetable garden, they returned to the courtyard on Zhuangzi.
At first glance, Liu He's sister Liu Xiang was leading a number of women, and the girls were cleaning the yard.
Liu Xiang saw her boss coming and stepped forward quickly, "My boss, this yard has been lived in before. It needs to be cleaned up before the girl can use it. You will clean it up soon."
Liu Xiang had already recovered by this time, and Liu Anan looked at her carefully.
A round-faced girl, tall and with big eyes, she looked like someone with a clean heart and quick hands. Liu Anan couldn't help but like her a little more.
"Liu Xiang, you should worry more about things in this yard from now on. I have a lot of things going on recently. I will leave for a while after I have arranged my affairs in Zhuangzi."
"Hey, boss, don't worry, I will take good care of the yard."
Liu Xiang's eyes were red. Without her boss, her life would have been ruined by Pang Ercai. His boss was her savior.
"Liu Xiang, you did not sell yourself into slavery, so there is no need to call yourself a slave."
When Liu Xiang heard this, he knelt down and said, "Girl, Liu Xiang swears that he will voluntarily sell himself as a slave and serve the girl for the rest of his life. Liu Xiang will never marry. Please let the girl do it!"
What?
Liu Anan quickly helped Liu Xiang up, "Have you thought about it? Does your brother Liu He know? Does he agree?"
"You can make your own decisions as a servant." Liu Xiang replied stubbornly.
"You are such a silly girl. I didn't save you to ask you to sell yourself to me. If you want to repay your kindness, just do something good."
"No, slave, just follow the girl."
Hey, this stubborn girl.
"You go back and discuss it with your brother. If he agrees, you come. If he doesn't agree, you do a good job and repay your boss for saving his life." Lian Sheng said at the side.
Liu Xiang just got up, but she had already made up her mind, and her brother could not stop her.
As for Liu He, all the heads of tenant households were quickly summoned.
Because several tenants had just met with the new owner, they heard everything the new owner said.
At this moment, everyone gathered in the threshing floor and there was a lot of discussion.
"Brother Dahe, is it true that the owner only charges 30% of the rent?"
"Dahe, is it true that my boss wants to open a school?"
Several head men surrounded Liu He and started asking questions.
Liu He jumped onto the big stone roller and said loudly: "Brothers, uncle, listen to me, it is true that our host girl will only charge 30% of the rent from next season! Also, it is true that a school will be built here in the future. Rent will be waived in disaster years!”
Suddenly the crowd went crazy.
"Oh my God, we have found a good owner!" Several old men simply knelt on the ground.
There were men nearby who quickly helped several old men up.
An old man named Dong, who was very prestigious among the tenant farmers, said loudly: "Dear young and old men, since my boss's girl is so benevolent and righteous, we farmers have to say whatever they want. We must work hard and not be unscrupulous!"
Liu Anan didn't expect that this wave of operations would quickly win her over to the tenant.
