"I'm Lin San, a tenant farmer in Linjia Village. It's not that I absolutely want compensation. I farm land belonging to a wealthy family in the city. I have to pay 50% rent per acre, as well as taxes, and I have to support my family. It's really tough."
As soon as the old man in the lead arrived in front of Tang Qingxi, he started explaining things, fearing that Tang Qingxi would think they were greedy.
Tang Qingxi was also surprised when he heard this. The local people collected 50%, so why did they have to pay taxes? Shouldn't the taxes be deducted from the 50% collected?
In ancient times, grain production was low, and the little food left was just enough to keep people from starving to death. No wonder these people looked malnourished.
Tang Qingxi sighed and asked, "Old man, are all the land I occupy cultivated by your family?"
The supermarket now covers an area of about 15 acres, plus the yard outside is a total of 20 acres. All the wheat seedlings are pressed under the supermarket and can only be replanted after the supermarket leaves.
Lin San quickly shook his head and said, "Most of them belong to me, and some belong to other tenants."
"Okay, you decide whether the compensation should be silver or grain."
"We need food." Lin San replied quickly.
Food is most expensive during lean times, but it is more reassuring to hold food in your hands.
"Okay, you wait." Tang Qingxi turned around and walked into the supermarket. He used a forklift to carry out 5,000 kilograms of flour. One acre of land was equivalent to 250 kilograms of pure flour. He piled it in front of the supermarket and asked these people to carry it out by themselves.
"Too much, too much." Lin San was at a loss, hunched over and said to Tang Qingxi, "Sir, it's too much. Our land can't produce so much grain."
"This is all the compensation for this piece of land. You can give some to the other tenant. Also," Tang Qingxi stuffed a large bag of supermarket flyers into Lin San's hands and continued, "Go into the city and help me distribute these flyers to the people there."
Lin San took the bag and pulled out a flyer. "This...this is paper."
There were many vivid things on a piece of red paper. "This is salt, sugar, honey, grain..."
There was not a single word on it, but even Lin San could recognize what it was at a glance. Lin San looked up and asked Tang Qingxi: "What are you doing?"
"This is what I want to sell. Please help me distribute flyers to the people in the city. The extra food will be considered as my employment."
When Lin San heard that the extra grain was earned by hiring them to work, he was no longer afraid. They were all ordinary people and would never dare to take advantage of the rich. It was not so easy to take advantage of the rich.
"Hey, I will definitely help you get things done." Lin San put away the flyers, asked his wife to look after the grain, and his sons carried the grain back home, while he went to notify another tenant.
To deal with the compensation issue, a team of yamen runners also came down from the building, each holding a pile of things in their arms.
After the bill was settled, the yamen runners took less than 5 taels of silver. Liu Pingan came with his things in his hands to say goodbye to Tang Qingxi.
"Miss Tang, we're leaving now."
Tang Qingxi returned the money they had just paid to Liu Ping'an and said to him, "I wonder if you know any brokers. If you do, please help me hire some girls. This money will be your reward."
There was also this matter. As long as he went to the pawnshop, he would get 5 taels of silver. Liu Pingan happily opened the door and asked how many people were needed.
"Fifty men will be enough. The monthly salary is two taels of silver, and they provide food and lodging."
Liu Ping'an readily agreed and hurried away with his men.
After these people left, Tang Qingxi checked the progress of the task first.
"4.6/50000000"
It's over. It seems that the unit of the task amount is silver. This task is quite difficult, so I have to plan it carefully.
Next, Tang Qingxi went to the monitoring room to see where these people were going.
This Liu Ping'an followed behind 01 and walked around the 2nd to 6th floors. After finishing his shopping, he went to the 3rd floor to buy some things and pay the bill. The other yamen runners were stuck on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
I have to say that this person has great mental quality. After seeing so many things beyond his imagination, he was able to come down and pay the bill without any expression.
Tang Qingxi was sighing in his heart, but he didn't know that outside, Liu Ping'an rode away for a distance, asked the team to stop, dismounted, sat down on the side of the road and gasped for breath.
