Chapter 269 Cheng Yaojin’s deception

"It is not a small matter for a young man to be so public. I will have to talk to him properly some other time."

Cheng Yaojin saw so many people envying him, and felt extremely happy in his heart. However, in front of so many people, this guy still had a stern face, even though Li Xiang had just established the status of the emperor's grandson. identity, but I am serious about teaching him a lesson when my father-in-law says.

The people around you all look disgusted. Today they ask you to act cool, because you are the father-in-law of the emperor's grandson.

"By the way, I heard something. Didn't you gain a lot from the southwest battlefield? Why did you use it all to buy land? When did you become interested in farming? Didn't you say that you relied on harvesting? Is it the stupidest thing to live in a rented house?"

Qin Qiong remembered another thing. The two of them had gained a lot after returning from the southwest battlefield. However, Cheng Yaojin spent all the money to buy land. The land prices around Chang'an City were no longer cheap. It was all caused by Li Xiang and his son. If we buy land now, the price will be even higher. Although the grain produced every year is a lot of money, the rate of return is too low.

"The secret must not be leaked. I will tell the ugly story first. If you follow me in this matter, how much is the rent on the ground in Chang'an City? I will give you an additional 20%. As for what I do, you don't care, it is considered as my payment to you. a benefit.”

The pressure on Cheng Yaojin's head had not subsided yet, and he immediately began to plot against these old brothers. Li Xiang told him to double the price, but Cheng Yaojin was not so generous, and he was prepared to make a profit from the price difference.

When each family first entered Chang'an, they also bought a lot of fields in the surrounding areas. Whoever rented them to farm should not be cultivated. Cheng Yaojin was able to give 20% more rent here, so some people began to have doubts in their hearts. I came up with an idea. Although 20% does not sound like a lot, it is the most stable income every year, not to mention their huge land base.

"Can you plant money trees in your land?"

Although Li Xiaogong is a prince, he usually gets along with them. He has enough land. If all of it is given to Cheng Yaojin, he can get an extra thousand guan every year.

When they heard this, everyone stopped talking and turned their ears closer, which shows that this income is still attractive to them.

"Don't worry about what I plant. Anyway, I can give you 20% more land rent every year. But there is another thing. All the tenants on your land cannot be dismissed. Every one of them must stay." , how much grain they harvested last year, I will give it to them this year, but they must do something for me."

Cheng Yaojin suddenly thought of the most important thing. There are not so many farmers in Li Xiang's area. After buying the land, the original farmers will still have to work here. If there are no these farmers, then this The land price is not transacted.

"You old bastard, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? Can you tell the truth to us people?"

Yuchi Jingde was about to take action. Qin Qiong quickly stopped this guy. Cheng Yaojin was still recovering from his injuries at home, but it was different than usual. Normally you can do whatever you want, but today you definitely can't.

"Just leave it alone. Am I, Old Cheng, the kind of person with no credibility? Isn't it just this little rent every year? Could it be that I have tricked you all? I am kindly helping you make money, although The annual money is not much compared to your expenses, but at least it is a way to make money. If you don’t want to make money, just quit.”

Cheng Yaojin couldn't explain this. In fact, he didn't know what Li Xiang was doing. If he could reveal a little bit about it, he would definitely know. Could it be that he told these people that I also subcontracted it, and then in the middle He earns much more money than you, and he earns it from your land. It's strange that these people can't help but destroy him.

"I heard that your father-in-law, the Cui family, also gave you the land?"

Yuchi Jingde has been staying in Chang'an, so he has relatively clear information about Chang'an. Cheng Yaojin's father-in-law is also from the Cui family, but he is not the manager of the Cui family. He can only be regarded as a rich man from the collateral line, but there are also some in the family. A lot of land, it is said that all of it was given to Cheng Yaojin last month.

"My father-in-law believes in me, unlike you people. Of course I am not afraid of you going out to inquire. I will give him a 30% higher price, but I can only give you a 20% higher price."

Cheng Yaojin somewhat looked down upon these old brothers. How could something be so difficult? You can usually give your back to the opponent on the battlefield, but now it's just a piece of land. Don't you even believe this?

Just when Cheng Yaojin was fooling these old brothers, Li Xiang had already arrived at the farm outside the city. According to reports from people here, the first batch of grain was ripe and the experimental field was planted.

When Li Xiang arrived, the wheat had already been cut. Many people put on large cylindrical stones and began to press the wheat. This is also the oldest method in this era.

"Is this the yield of this acre?"

Li Xiang saw a small pile of grain next to him. This was a single acre of land cut out. Li Xiang wanted to see how the yield per unit was. The previous introduction in the system was two thousand kilograms. How much is it now? have a look.

"If I return to Your Highness, it will be two thousand one hundred kilograms."

Hearing Niu Si whisper, Li Xiang understood what was going on. Except for this single acre of land, everything else was mixed, and the people below were often transferred. Li Xiang also I don’t want them to figure out what the yield per mu is.

In this day and age, it is normal to have a yield of about 300 kilograms per mu. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, even 200 kilograms is possible. The highest yield record per mu is only about 350 kilograms. Li Xiang It can reach 2,100 kilograms here, which is almost seven times more than in this era.

There are a total of 4,000 acres of experimental fields. They are all mature now, and it is time to harvest.

"How is the granary being built?"

Li Xiang wants to attack the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. Food is a very important aspect. If they are all sold, it will alert them in advance. Therefore, before a large amount of food comes out, Li Xiang wants to build his own granary. Store well.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been completed as planned."

Niu Wu is specifically responsible for this matter. Currently, all the granaries across the country have been completed, and they are just waiting for the grain to mature in half a month.
