Jiang Tuantuan began to reason, "It takes a year to harvest from farming. I'm sure I'll have to rent it for a few more years. And this is the best option for you. You can use these five years to earn more money. Not only will you need to treat your illness, but if you want to get married and have children, that'll take some time."
Da Wu thought the same, but he was worried that if he got married, the land at home would become smaller and there might not be enough for farming, and the girl would not be willing to marry him.
"Oh, no, it wouldn't be better if you rented it to me. If you get married next year and have a child, three years will pass. Your wife won't be able to work right after giving birth, and you'll have to take care of her and the child, leaving you with no time to farm. Renting it to me would actually help you. Besides, I'm only renting, not buying. After five years, the land will be yours again."
Dalong was stunned when he heard this. How come they were talking about getting married?
Da Wu suddenly felt a little shy. Why was he talking about getting married with a young lady?
Jiang Tuantuan said, "Twenty acres of land, if we sold all the harvest for a year, it would be worth about eight taels of silver. But considering your filial piety and your family's financial difficulties, I'm willing to rent it for ten taels. And this ten taels is assuming there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters. If we encounter drought, locusts, or something like that, the harvest will be cut in half."
At this point, Da Wu and Da Long were both tempted, but they planned to ask their mother for her opinion again.
Jiang Tuantuan wasn't in a hurry to force them to give a result, so he said calmly, "I'll give you a day to think about it. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon and give me an answer then."
After saying that, he slowly left.
Dalong asked, "Brother, should we rent it? I think we should. Mother's medicine will cost a lot of money, and we don't have time to farm."
Da Wudao: "I'll talk to my mother."
After hearing this, the old woman lying in bed simply thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you two to decide on this matter. If you think the man is good, you can rent him. But the only thing to worry about is meeting a bad person."
Dalong immediately said, "Mom, I think that young lady is pretty good."
Da Wu instantly felt that his brother was a loser. How could he be fooled by appearance? Da Long was not convinced, "Don't you think that woman is a good person?"
Da Wu stumbled and said, "How should I know? I just think it's okay."
After some discussion, everyone agreed to rent it out, but which piece to rent? The sixty acres of land were divided, twenty acres of which were relatively far away and had average soil fertility, while the remaining forty acres were relatively close to the village and had better soil fertility, and it was still a whole piece.
Da Wu thought, she would definitely choose from the 40 acres of land. Only a fool would choose the remote 20 acres.
Jiang Tuantuan knew that he had definitely convinced the two of them, and he was in a good mood all the way. He was thinking about what to do with the twenty acres of land, and he also had to find two more long-term workers.
However, Jiang Tuantuan didn't want to find someone new, and he felt that it was more comfortable to use the old man. After returning home, Jiang Tuantuan immediately wrote a letter to Mai Wu, asking him to come to the capital as soon as possible, as he was needed to take care of the place, and the farm in Fujiang County would be handed over to someone else.
When Mai Wu received the letter, he couldn't contain his excitement. He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be able to go to the capital. The most important thing was that he was so trusted by his boss. Mai Wu immediately began to arrange things in Fujiang County.
This time he planned to take Datou away. Datou was the smartest and most flexible-minded of the four people. Mai Wu planned to leave the accounting matter to Mai Gu. Mai Gu had also learned a lot from him during this period of time.
The area in the back mountain can be handled by one person, so the second one is left here to watch over it, and the third one is called to Jiangyue Pavilion to look after the store.
Sitou and Maigu are farming.
Although everything has been arranged, there are still many things that need to be handed over by him, and he needs to give them further guidance.
Mai Wu planned to complete it in three days and then come to the capital quickly.
Because Mai Gu had more things to do, including Ertou and others, Jiang Tuantuan planned to increase their monthly salary. Erliu also made Jiang Tuantuan very satisfied, so he directly increased their monthly salary by one or two taels of silver, and the rest of the people received an increase of two hundred coins per month.
Everyone cheered, the boss was really great.
Er Liu felt that he had indeed followed the right person.
The next day, Jiang Tuantuan arrived at Dawu and Dalong's home as promised.
Da Wu and Da Long politely invited the man to their home. "How's it going? Have you made up your mind?"
"We've decided. We're willing to rent it for five years, at ten taels of silver per year."
Hearing the answer that satisfied him, Jiang Tuantuan was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, "Then show me the land."
"good."
Da Wu first took Jiang Tuantuan to see the 40 acres of land closest to the village. At a glance, the 40 acres of land were close together, forming a complete piece, and the ground was flat. Judging from the appearance of the wheat, the harvest should be good.
Jiang Tuantuan nodded.
Da Wu felt that she would definitely choose this piece. Then he walked out and saw another twenty acres of land in front of him. This piece of land was not very close to the village.
But Jiang Tuantuan thought it was not bad. Although the land was not very good, it was closer to her farm and was only separated by a hill.
"This piece of land is just average, not as good as the one just now, and it's far from the village." Although Da Wu hoped that she would choose the twenty acres of land, he still said honestly, "It's better for you to choose the land closer to the village."
Seeing how honest Da Wu was, Jiang Tuantuan had a better impression of him. "No need. I'll just choose the twenty acres in front of me."
Da Wu opened his eyes wide, "You have to think it over carefully, don't regret it."
"Don't worry, I won't regret it."
Looking at the hill in front of them, Jiang Tuantuan also wanted to rent it. This way, she could connect it to her small farm and graze cattle on the hill. So she asked, "Da Wu, who owns this hill?"
"It's mine!"
"Ah, yours."
"Yeah, what's wrong? This hill is full of trees. They're not used normally, so they've been lying idle."
Jiang Tuantuan immediately said, "Then I'll choose these twenty acres of land with average fertility. Since I won't be using the hill, just rent it to me along with these twenty acres of land."
"Okay, then the rent will still be ten taels. I won't ask for more from you, so as to avoid cheating you."
There is such a good thing. Jiang Tuantuan immediately said, "Okay."
Everything was decided. In order to prevent Da Wu from suddenly changing his mind, Jiang Tuantuan immediately took him to sign the contract, get it certified, and paid ten taels of silver to Da Wu.
This matter is finally settled.
After knowing that the group leader had rented the land, Erlaizi was so happy that he almost died. These chickens were almost sleeping on his bed. Finally, there was a place to put them.
