The kneeling people turned their heads and stared at the man behind him who was coercing Lu Jiao: "Niu Er, what are you talking about nonsense, are you trying to kill us?"

"Who are you, you dare to coerce the master's family. This land belongs to the master's family. If she doesn't want to rent it to us, we can't do anything about it."

Several households turned around and blamed Niu Er.

Niu Er opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but Lu Jiao said, "Uncle Xiao, take care of this."

In the future, the old man Xiao will be the farmer, and Lu Jiao wants to see how he handles it.

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, Old Man Xiao immediately walked out and looked coldly at the strong man who had just used words to threaten Lu Jiao.

"Niu Er, isn't it? You said that if the lady didn't give you the land, she would force you to die. Then you should die. I'll see if you dare to die."

The old man Xiao said loudly.

Niu Er's face changed, as did the faces of the family members behind him.

But he rolled his eyes and burst into tears quickly: "Look, this woman doesn't want to give us the land. She doesn't give us a way to live, she wants to force us to die? We can't live anymore."

As soon as Niu Er's words fell, many people were frightened, adults and children panicked into a ball, and two of them started crying along with Niu Er.

"No, why don't you plant the land for us? We used to plant the land well, but as soon as the masters changed, the land was not given to us. Is there a king's law?"

"You sincerely want to kill us. If you dare not give us the land, we will die."

The old man Xiao sneered and said: "If you want to die, go quickly, you don't need to cry and make trouble here. I want to see if you have sought your own death. Will the magistrate punish us for our sins? We buy land and are willing to It is our kindness to give you the rent, not the reason why you force us to rent it to you."

After the old man Xiao finished speaking, Lu Jiao gave an order with a cold face: "Uncle Xiao, Ruan Zhu, give me these three families and drive them out, and Feng Zhi will convert their farmland into money according to their normal income, and let them Get out now."

"Yes, ma'am."

Everyone in this scene was shocked, and Niu Er stood up and wanted to make trouble.

The old man Xiao walked over and raised Niu Er as soon as he stretched out his hand, as if he was carrying a chicken.

Ruan Zhu even dragged one with one hand. She was obviously a little girl, but she dragged two men, so they couldn't move.

When everyone on the field saw the movements of the two, there was still something they didn't understand.

The people brought by the main family clearly have kung fu, and they don't seem to be weak in kung fu.

No one dared to speak now, and at most pleaded a few times.

Lu Jiao ordered Uncle Xiao and Ruan Zhu to drive all three families out of Zhuangzi.

The men brought by Zhao Lingfeng also went over to help, and quickly drove Niu Er and the other two families out of Zhuangzi.

Lu Jiao glanced at the tenants on the field and motioned them to get up.

"To tell you the truth, it's not that I don't rent the land to you, but that I specially bought the land to grow medicinal materials, not to let people grow rice."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, the tenants knew that they had no land to plant, all of them were pale, and the old man and the child began to cry.

Lu Jiao cleared her throat and said, "Actually, the land you rented is only enough for food and clothing, and it doesn't make you much money."

An old man in the tenant said quickly, "Although we only have enough food and clothing to support a large family, we go out to work. First, we can't do it when we are old. Second, normal people's owners are mean and they always deduct our money intentionally or unintentionally. , there is almost not much money left in the final settlement, so what will we do?"

After the old man finished speaking, tears flowed down, but Lu Jiao couldn't bear to see it, she spoke slowly.

"Don't be sad and afraid, I have another method of cooperation here, can you listen to it and see if it is feasible?"

"Although my fields are grown with medicinal herbs, they need people to take care of them, so I can hire you as my long-term laborers. The construction period is five years. I will send you money every month, so that each household can earn money. The money is here, and I think the money you earn is no worse than farming. You can spend the rest of your food, drink and spend, and maybe you can buy a few acres of land in five years. Isn’t that better than renting other people’s fields?”

As soon as Lu Jiao's words were finished, some of those who responded quickly were moved and quickly asked, "Miss Lu, how much is a month for us to do long-term work for you?"

Lu Jiao glanced at the person who was speaking and said, "A strong labor costs one tael of silver a month, and women and old people have six hundred silver tattoos."

Strong labor costs one tael a month, twelve taels a year, plus six hundred wen for women and old people in the family, so each family can get rid of food, drink and flowers in one year, and they can save more than ten taels. After five years, There are fifty taels, and fifty taels can buy seven or eight acres of land near the town.

Many people on the field were excited, but some people asked worriedly: "Miss Lu, you won't give us wages later, find a reason to open us."

Lu Jiao laughed: "It will be stated in the contract. The host is not allowed to dismiss long-term workers for unknown reasons, nor to deduct wages for any unreasonable reasons, so don't worry."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, Zhao Lingfeng said, "Do you know who she is? That lady from Xie Xiucai's family who helped the magistrate of Qinghe to get rid of the two corrupt officials, she can't deduct your money."

Recently, the hottest topic in Qinghe County is that the magistrate Hu took out the two corrupt officials. Many of them mentioned Xie Xiucai, saying that Xie Xiucai helped the magistrate Hu to fight against the magistrate Yang and Zhubo Peng.

Therefore, even the people in the countryside heard about it. At this time, when these tenants heard Zhao Lingfeng's words, they first cried out with joy.

"It turns out that Lady Lu is the wife of Xie Xiucai, so we can rest assured."

One of them whispered: "I heard that Xie Xiu was born from a poor man."

What this means is that Xie Yunjin was born in a poor family, so how can he have the money to buy farmland now.

Zhao Lingfeng immediately looked at the speaker and explained: "Xie Xiu is from a poor family, but his wife is capable and can make money. Don't underestimate Lady Lu, she is a very powerful person and can make money very well. of."

Everyone looked up at Madam Lu subconsciously, thinking of the two people who had appeared beside Madam Lu before, and thinking about her cold and stern appearance, she did look like a very powerful person.

Such a powerful lady, will Xie Xiucai dare to bother in the future? Even if he became an official, would he dare to take a concubine?

Many people sympathized with Xie Xiucai.

Lu Jiao glared at Zhao Lingfeng angrily, asking what Xie Yunjin did.

Zhao Lingfeng smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to flatter him, but he ended up slapping it on the horse's leg. It seems that he is not suitable for flattering.
