Chapter 51 Rent Payment

Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know that Aunt Li had accidentally leaked the fact that she could not have had children, and she didn't know that Matchmaker Zhu was thinking about telling her to be her second wife for someone else's family.

However, even if you know, Zhixia doesn't care. Maybe you will say that the leak is good, the leak is wonderful, and the leak is croaking. If you leak it, you will save the matchmaker from saying you will kiss you.

Jiang Zhixia was all focused on going to Zhucuilou to deliver pictures and get bonuses.

I don’t know how much I can get? I feel a little excited when I think about it.

On the morning of the first day of October, Jiang Zhixia got up early and finished washing up. After breakfast, she started to hold a book and watch the passage of time casually.

If you want to get money, you can't go early in the morning, as it seems like you are asking for debts.

People here are still a bit superstitious, believing that if you pay before you get in the morning, there will be no good profit on this day.

Therefore, no matter how urgent Jiang Zhixia was, she would not dare to run up to the door of Zhu Cuilou early in the morning to ask for money.

Jiang Zhixia just reads books while reading them from time to time.

When it was late in the Si period, Xiaoman came in from outside the door and told vividly what delicious food her mother, Aunt Zhang, was planning to make.

Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills were originally very average.

After all, she was just an ordinary country woman, without any good ingredients, and had never seen so many ingredients. Later, after she arrived at Changlong Yashang, she learned to cook with the mother in Yashang for a while. After arriving at Jiang Zhixia's house, Zhixia liked to eat and could also cook. Therefore, Aunt Zhang studied food with Jiang Zhixia, and her skills are getting better and better now.

Zhixia has Xiaoman to talk with her, and she feels that time is not that difficult.

Suddenly, the door was knocked by Aunt Zhang.

"Girl, there is a ox cart outside the door and said it was paid for the rent." Aunt Zhang's face was joyous. This rent collection is a great thing, how can you be unhappy?

"Pay the rent?" Jiang Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she had a small village outside the capital with more than ten acres of land. At this time, weren't all the harvested and paid the rent for herself?

"Hurry, please go to the front yard reception hall. I'll go here now." Jiang Zhixia excitedly put on her shoes and walked out. It was Xiaoman who grabbed her and put on her fur coat.

Jiang Zhixia hurried to the front yard. After passing the corner gate, she saw a ox cart that had entered the yard. Next to the ox cart were Niu Zhuangtou and his son who had seen last time stood.

"Please beg for peace with a girl." Niu Zhuangtou and his son quickly bowed when they saw Jiang Zhixia coming out.

"No gifts quickly." Jiang Zhixia looked at the dozen bags on the ox cart, a little confused.

Why aren't the harvest all delivered? Is there a car behind it?

Zhixia walked around the screen wall and saw Uncle He installing a threshold and closing the door.

Jiang Zhixia led Niu Zhuangtou and his son to the reception hall with confusion, then asked them to sit down, and asked Aunt Zhang to serve tea.

"Is it hard to get on the road?" Although he was full of doubts, Jiang Zhixia still asked with greetings first.

"It's not hard work. I loaded the cart in the morning and sent it to the girl. The ox cart was walking slowly, so I rushed to you at this time." Niu Zhuangtou thanked Jiang Zhixia and replied quickly.

"The weather is fine this year, is the harvest good?" Jiang Zhixia didn't know what to ask, so she could only continue to greet her.

"Indeed, the weather is OK this year, and the harvest is quite good. The girl's land is all high-quality and medium-quality fields. The tenants are careful to take care of the crops. The high-quality fields are basically 150 kilograms per mu of land, and the medium-quality fields are almost 100 kilograms. In this way, a total of 2,000 kilograms of grain was collected." Niu Zhuangtou said proudly.

Then, the report was detailed, "The tenants left behind 600 kilograms, and according to the agreement of 70% of the rent, they should have sent 1,400 kilograms to the girl. Because the grain officials went to the farm to collect taxes directly, we paid 100 kilograms directly. The land tax was 30 taxes, so we paid 66 kilograms, plus the tax and tax adjustment, and we just made up an integer, and paid a total of 100 kilograms. So this time, we sent 1,300 kilograms to the girl." Niu Zhuangtou knew that Zhixia was a palace maid before and might not know how to pay taxes, so he explained in detail.

Jiang Zhixia only heard the previous words and did not listen carefully to the following words.

"What? Two thousand kilograms?" Jiang Zhixia was shocked when she heard this number. "Is there a total of two thousand kilograms of land in fifteen acres?"

"Yes. The girl's land is quite fat, and the tenants are also serving him well. The weather this year is good, but isn't it just the harvest?" Niu Zhuangtou saw that Jiang Zhixia was shocked, and thought that the high yield shocked Zhixia, so he became even more proud.

Jiang Zhixia was shocked to the point of being confused.

In the past life, a mu of land could produce more than 1,000 kilograms, with the highest output of 1,500 kilograms, and the lowest output of 8,900 kilograms. But now, this kind of high-quality land can only produce more than 100 kilograms, which is more than ten times the difference.

These two thousand pounds are quite a lot, but nowadays, if you sell grain alone, you can only sell more than ten yuan per pound, and two thousand pounds of money only sell twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Jiang Zhixia finally understood why when she bought land, Liu Po ​​said that such a wealthy land owner looked down on him.

Isn’t it that I don’t like it? Twenty or thirty taels of silver are not enough for a wealthy family to go out for a meal.

Jiang Zhixia was extremely disappointed.

She blamed her for thinking too simply and mistakenly regarded the yield of this life as the yield of the previous life.

I have never learned about farming in the palace in this life, so I took it for granted. I thought that with these lands, I could not worry about eating and drinking---I can’t say it wrong. I really don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, but if I want to live a more comfortable life, I really can’t count on this farm and land.

"Okay, you're very tired from rushing. Let's go back after lunch." Jiang Zhixia was a little lost.

"Okay, girl. Where do you unload this grain?" Niu Zhuangtou didn't notice Jiang Zhixia's mood. "In addition, the fruit trees in the backyard of the Zhuangzi have some fruits, and brought some good ones for the girl to taste."

"Thank you Niu Zhuangtou. Let's unload the grain in the room near the east wing. Uncle He helped Niu Zhuangtou." Jiang Zhixia arranged for Uncle He to help Niu Zhuangtou and the others unload the grain.

He asked Xiaoman to help Aunt Zhang cook so that he could keep Niu Zhuangtou's father and son to have dinner.

After all the arrangements were made, she was left alone in the reception hall and staring blankly.

After unloading the food, Xiaoman accompanied Zhixia back to the backyard.

Uncle He chatted with Niu Zhuangtou and the others in the front yard for a while.

During lunch, Aunt Zhang brought the food box in and prepared the meal for Zhixia, and then called Xiaoman to go to her room to have dinner together.

In the front yard, Uncle He accompanied Niu Zhuangtou and his son to have lunch.

After dinner, Niu Zhuangtou and the others said goodbye to Zhixia and left.

Jiang Zhixia only took a few bites and put down her chopsticks and asked Xiaoman to clean up the table.

When Xiaoman came to clean up, she was very surprised. She didn't understand why the rent was collected. The girl was not happy and ate so little.

But looking at Zhixia's dark face, he was so tactful that he didn't ask anything, and quickly packed up his things and left.

When I arrived at the kitchen, Aunt Zhang saw the food that was almost unmoved, and kept asking Xiaoman, but unfortunately Xiaoman couldn't say it, so she came.
