Chapter 085 Rent

The 'big bad guy' on Chu Han's mouth nagged for three or five days, which made Lin Zimo really feel that he was evil. However, this little girl chattered. She didn't stay there for several nights in a row and appeared on time** in the north room. Every night, Lin Zi silently felt that lying down and sleeping with the two of them could create a strong sense of guilt and moral degradation and degradation in an instant.

If you don't lie here to sleep and feel that there is no good place to sleep, after all, you can't enjoy the exclusive right to be a husband. He clearly knew that in ten days, Yang Mengqi would be 17 years old. Even if his wife is only 16 years old, almost all developed capitalist countries and regions can legally marry in the 21st century. If you perform Zhou Gong's ceremony with her, there is no psychological burden at all. If you are happy with Chu Hanlu, you are easy to be condemned by conscience and morality. After all, Lin Zimo is not an "original genuine" Ming Dynasty man, but a man with modern consciousness.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for the master to play with his maid's body at will. With huge resources and privileges, they could have taken away their "private property". Although it is not as reckless as the slave society, sleeping with a slave woman who belongs to her own name is not a problem at all.

However, Lin Zimo can't really do this kind of thing. He knows that if a girl in this era is broken before getting married, she will either sink into a lake or be buried alive, or dispose of it in the name of marriage. Those who are already "second-hand goods" naturally can't find a good home. Even if the thing about Pan Jinlian matching Wu Dalang in Water Margin is not new and completely belongs to a normal social phenomenon.

Lin Zimo in his previous life is a successful man, and naturally there are many beautiful women around him. He knows that there are more women, not only upset, but also not easy to harmonize. Therefore, after his rebirth, he has always adhered to the principle of marrying no more woman. Even if he is regarded as a different person by people of the same class, he will not change his original intention.

Lin Zimo, who was very responsible, was even more unwilling to take advantage of these 20-year-old little maids, did not give names, raised them at home for unknown reason, and then went to sleep with them because of interest. His conscience has not been extinguished, so he can't do such a thing that will ruin her life's happiness. Even if he has a son in the future, he is determined not to arrange a child daughter-in-law, a big maid and so on. This rotten feudal idea certainly cannot appear in his home.

When he was in a dilemma, he finally decided to sleep alone in Chu Hanlu's east wing, leaving the little girl and Yang Mengqi to sleep together. In fact, his right choice has helped him recover a lot. After all, he indulged too many times that day, nearly ten times. The most suffering woman is not Chu Hanlu, but Yang Mengqi.

This day, Lin Zimo, who got up early in the morning, felt refreshed. After washing and having breakfast, he took the initiative to go to his government office to deal with business without reaching the time of Shang Mao. The quality of this feudal centralization is also clear at a glance. Therefore, Lin Zimo, who does not intend to engage in any separation of power and democratic ideas, firmly believes that he can't turn this universe with his own strength, but just wants to do his own things well and complete the task for the people under governance.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, mule carts full of rice moved in a row to Guiping City, as if they could not see the end. When they reached the gate, the leader only reported the door and was given priority to enter the city by the gatekeeper. With a proud face, he sat on a sack containing rice and leisurely smoked the dry smoke.

The group didn't go there and ran directly to the magistrate's office. Lin Zimo, who was sitting in the office of his government office, was told about this and felt so strange, so he came out in person to see what was going on.

The old man sitting on the front car, as soon as he saw Lin Zimo walking out of the gate of the government office, he hurriedly jumped down, trotted to him, and saluted, "Liu Laosan in Pingnan County has seen Master Lin, the governor of Xunzhou."

Lin Zimo, who was confused, said indifferently, "What's wrong with you, a Pingnan county, coming to this house?"

Liu Laosan, who didn't hear himself get up, knelt on the ground, pointed to the convoy transporting grain, and explained, "The rice in the field has been harvested and dried. It was specially sent to Master Lin. This year, with God's help, we have a good harvest. In addition, the magistrate is compassionate and considerate to the tenants, so the more we live, the more we are.

Lin Zimo, who understood, knew that this was a farmer who rented his own field and came here to pay the land rent. He took a cursory look and found that there were dozens of large local cars.

"Get up!" Lin Zimo felt a lot of food. He pointed casually and said in disbelief, "Is this all mine?"

Liu Laosan, who stood up, replied cautiously, "It's all from the house. However, this is still a small part of the total rent of Mr. Lin's family. As far as I know, it was the others who led the villages to rush here overnight. We have a fast journey and animals, so we have arrived one step ahead.

Lin Zimo, who combined, had already known that Yang Mengqi had bought a lot of fields, but he didn't expect that she would buy so much. A truck has at least three or five hundred catties of grain, and the grain pulled by the ox cart can weigh as much as 1,000 catties. These dozens of cars and all kinds of animals brought tens of thousands of pounds of refined rice casually. This is still a small part, so it is estimated that the total rent collected on the field this year will cost hundreds of thousands of catties.

Lin Zimo knew that a stone was more than 150 catties, and a rough calculation was also 2,000 stone of refined rice. My monthly salary is 24 stones, and it is not enough for 300 stones a year. I'm afraid it's also my total income for seven years as an official. However, he believes that the actual situation must be far more than N times this number. After all, Yang Mengqi bought a quarter of the good land in Pingnan County.

Since Caixing and her grandfather left, Yang Mengqi has bought four little maids and two little maids back, bringing the total number of people in the family to 32. Lin Zimo doesn't believe that the whole family can become rice worms. Even if everyone eats rice, one person can't consume 100 catties of refined rice a month. In a few years, decades of rice consumption will be piled up.

Lin Zimo stood with his hands on his side and said without a smile, "The government doesn't care about this matter. You go to the wife of the house for handover.

After saying that, he left Wang Qiang, and then turned around and walked into the gate of the government office. Lin Zimo, who returned to his government office, sat down slowly, drank tea, and did not think about the rice, but continued to deal with the unfinished business. Wang Qiang led a large group of Liu Laosan and turned to the back of the government office.

As soon as Wang Qiang led Liu Laosan into the back door, he saw the low-ranking little maid in the house and said, "Go and invite the old lady out, and say that part of the land in Pingnan County has been rented this year."

The little maid hesitated for a moment and carefully replied, "Housekeeper Wang, I dare not go. Sister Caiyue has set a rule for some of our rough maids not to step into the backyard. If the maidservant disobeys her meaning, she will have no food to eat. If she sleeps in the woodshed, she will be beaten by her. Please don't make it difficult for me. Could you please go there in person?

Wang Qiang's face suddenly became ugly and said, "This month is getting more and more outrageous. It's really holding chicken feathers as an arrow. Relying on being the eldest lady's personal servant, she specializes in bullying others.

Li Laosan, standing next to him, knew his identity. He took out ten taels of silver in his arms and handed it out. He interrupted in a very kind tone and said, "Thank you, please let me know. This little money is left for you to drink all the time.

Wang Qiang, who smiled at him, looked down on the ten taels of silver at all. He didn't reach out to pick him up and walked straight in. The little maid who bent her knees and saluted Liu Laosan went to do her own business. Liu Laosan, standing in the backyard, put the silver in his arms again, and then stood still and waited patiently.

Wang Qiang found Yang Mengqi sitting in the pavilion alone in the garden playing chess. Standing outside the pavilion, he told the truth.

She put down several pieces of chess pieces in her hand and told Cai Yue next to her, "Go and call the girl Hanlu and Cailian for me."

He picked the moon with a promise, bent his knees and made a salute, and then walked out of the pavilion slightly faster.

Wang Qiang, who didn't want to talk too much, said after some weighing, "Madam, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"

Yang Mengqi, sitting in the pavilion, smiled and said, "Wang Qiang, you should know that you are different from other people in the house. The master has never treated you as a subordinate. Since you want to say it, just say it."

Wang Qiang, who knew that he was not his hostess, was very obeditive and said four words obscurely: "The fox fakes the tiger's power."

The extremely smart Yang Mengqi saw what he said after Cai Yue left. He must have nothing to do with his personal maid. She knows that Wang Qiang is not the kind of man who likes to make trouble and be infernal, nor can he speak easily. His opening speech can prove that he did something out of place behind Cai Yue.

"I know." Yang Mengqi, who smiled unchanged, did not hesitate to express his attitude and said, "Since you are the housekeeper in the house, you should take out some of your proper wrists to control your subordinates. You are a good hand on the battlefield, and I hope you can also become a good hand in the house.
