Chapter 62 Too late to explain
Looking at the stupid big man in front of him, Chen Yi said speechlessly for a moment: "Of course you can earn money."
"I know how to make money, how to make it?" the big man continued to ask.
Are you a slut?
He complained in his heart that he was bored anyway, so Chen Yi continued to chat with him, saying: "If you have a way and a smart person, you can do business and make money. If you don't have that smart person, you can work and earn wages for others. It's really not possible. As long as you work hard and work hard, you can make money."
"That's it...", the big man scratched his head and said in a tangled way: "If you do business, I have no way or capital and don't know the words. I will definitely not be able to do it. I work for people, and people think I am clumsy and don't want me. As for farming, I have been farming all the time, but why do I become poorer the more I farm? I don't even have my own land if I don't make money."
"Aren't you a farmer in the village over there? You don't have your own land?" Chen Yi said in shock after hearing his words.
The big man smiled bitterly and said, "Stop talking about me, 90% of the families in the village don't have their own land. Everyone rents land to plant. The 60% of the grain harvested each year has to be used to pay rent, and the rest is not enough to eat."
Hearing these words, Chen Yi suddenly realized that it seemed that land annexation during this period was quite serious. In the final analysis, it was the system problem of the court. People with fame and fortune did not have to pay rent, and then those who were interested used this to acquire the land in large quantities, so that more and more farmers did not even have their own land.
"60% of the annual harvest is used to pay rent. Is the owner too dark?" Chen Yi said in surprise.
The big man said helplessly: "What's the solution?"
His simple words are endless bitterness and helplessness. For ordinary farmers, if they don’t want to be exploited, they will probably only have the only way to starve to death...
In an inexplicable sense of depression, Chen Yi asked, "Whose land do you all rent?"
"Zhang Yuanwai's family belongs to his family, and the river beside him, and the surrounding mountains and forests are also owned by his family," the big man pointed at the surroundings and said.
"It's all his family?" Chen Yi said in surprise again. A member of the army almost controlled all the land around him, which was no different from a local emperor.
The big man nodded, giving Chen Yi a positive answer.
Although Chen Yi sympathized with the lower-class farmers about land annexation, he had no choice but to do anything for the time being. After all, those who annexed the land have formed a huge interest group. No one will end up violating this group, even the emperor cannot do it. Once he angers those people, he may not be able to sit steadily on the throne!
There are too many bloody lessons in history. Not that no one can see this disadvantage, but what will happen to those who have made the best? They are simply dead and have no place to bury themselves!
Seeing that Chen Yi was silent, he didn't seem to feel anything when he was used to hard life. He smiled and said, "Young Master, I won't bother you anymore. There is still work to do in the field."
"Okay, go and do it. By the way, what's your name?" Chen Yi didn't bother with those questions for the time being and looked up to ask him.
Smiling, the big man said, "My name is Tiezhu, Liu Tiezhu."
"Tiezhu, right? I'm going to buy this mountain bag and build a small courtyard. If you have time, you can come to my place to work," Chen Yi said with a smile.
When his eyes lit up, Liu Tiezhu said, "Do you pay for your wages?"
"Give it, and give it to you, and you can eat it, after all, you only have the energy to work after eating it," Chen Yi nodded and said.
Hearing this sentence, Liu Tiezhu wanted to start work immediately. He was a little confused and asked Chen Yi carefully: "Can I ask a few more people to work?"
"Yes, the more people, the better. It would be better if there were carpenters and bricklayers. After all, I also wanted to build the yard early," Chen Yi said with certainty.
Suddenly, Liu Tiezhu said excitedly: "It's great, I have to send this news back soon, I...I'll leave first."
"Wait, don't be busy now. I haven't bought the land yet. It's not too late to tell them when I buy it." Chen Yi said laughing and crying.
"That's the case, then you must tell me if you buy the land. I will bring people to work immediately. There are masons and carpenters in the village. I will guarantee that you will be satisfied with the young master," Liu Tiezhu said embarrassedly.
Nodded, Chen Yi said, "Okay, I will notify you at that time. Now you can go and do your own."
He was unable to work for the time being, so Liu Tiezhu was not in a hurry to return to the village. He said goodbye to Chen Yi and continued to work in the fields.
When Wang Jiang came back, Chen Yi also looked at Liu Tiezhu who was busy in the field from afar. The crops had been harvested. He was turning the ground, as if he was preparing for the next season of crops. There were no cows. He was digging little by little with a hoe.
"The wandering earth should be able to get seeds of high-yield crops. If you use them here to plant them..."
Thinking about it, Chen Yi's heart couldn't help but jump. He thought that if he took out the seeds of high-yield crops, he could still be at the top of this empire. After all, it was something that benefits the country and the people. If it solved the problem of food and clothing for all people in the world, who would dare to touch him with such great "merit"?
Even the emperor dared not!
If he operates well, he can even use the resources of this world to counter-compensate the wandering earth...
And now there seems to be a chance to go directly to the sky.
"It is completely feasible, but we must prevent those who are interested from picking peaches. High-yield crops. If you are not a fool, who doesn't want to hold them in your hands? But the problem is not big. Whoever dares to chop off his claws? After all, I am back on the resources of the wandering earth. How can I be bullied by people here? The emergence of high-yield crops can solve the food and clothing of the lower-level farmers, and can even replenish the wandering earth. The only headache is that it will fatten those who own a lot of land. This is really fucking."
Chen Yi was not worried so much that his mind was thinking. He first solved the current problem. After all, those things can not be achieved in one or two days.
If you can't eat a fat man in one bite, you can easily get an egg if you take a big step.
"Why haven't Wang Jiang come back after so long?" After coming to his senses, Chen Yi suddenly realized this problem.
It's roughly the time. He has been in the village for nearly two hours, so he's back no matter what, right?
After waiting for a while, Chen Yi wanted to go to the village to find Wang Jiang, and then he saw that Wang Jiang was running towards this side in the distance, as if he was a little embarrassed.
I remember he rode a horse.
When Chen Yi was stunned, Wang Jiang, who was rushing towards him, immediately shouted anxiously after approaching: "Brother Chen, go quickly, I've messed up the matter!"
"What's the situation?" Chen Yi asked in confusion, and at the same time he saw a person chasing him quickly behind Wang Jiang.
Wang Jiang, who was running over, urging him: "It's too late to explain, go quickly, Brother Chen."
