Chapter 299: The First Aristocratic Family Member of Yingchun Academy
Xiao Qigui looked at Liang Kaishun helplessly and helped to explain.

It turned out that Liang Kaishun's son had just started a family, and his daughter-in-law was a very capable woman.

The couple worked hard all their lives to buy a house for their son, but their daughter-in-law was unwilling to live with them and was always finding fault with them.

The couple endured the humiliation for the sake of their son, but during the New Year holidays, they were really on pins and needles.

That's why Liang Kaishun racked his brains to take his wife out to find a job.

Better to keep it under control.

Xiao Yingchun thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss this with Fu Chenan first."

Liang Kaishun was worried about gains and losses, and emphasized again: "Boss Xiao, my wife and I can raise chickens and grow vegetables by ourselves. If you don't make any money at the end of the year, you just need to give me 10,000 yuan so that I can go home and take care of my father..."

This is really a matter of living out, at all costs.

When Xiao Yingchun told Fu Chenan about this, Fu Chenan was happy.

"If their pork is not profitable here, they can give it to us."

Although pork was not rare in the Tianwu Dynasty, no one would complain about having too much pork.

Xiao Yingchun was also happy: "Then I'll just treat it as a good deed."

Although you may not make much money, you should not lose money either.

In this way, my uncle and his son, the couple, all had a way to make a living.

Xiao Yingchun never thought that this diligent couple would have such a big surprise in the future after getting the opportunity given by Xiao Yingchun...

When seeing Liang Kaishun again, Xiao Yingchun gave him a positive answer: "If you have confidence, I can open one."

"But I definitely don't care how the pigs are fed and what they are like. If you want to do it, you have to worry about it yourself."

"But we need to sign a contract. If you do a good job, in addition to the two wages totaling 100,000 yuan a year, I can also give you 30% of the net profit."

"If it doesn't work, then we can only do it the way you said."

Two people, ten thousand yuan a year.

It's not much different from working for nothing.

Liang Kaishun's eyes lit up!

It's not that he doesn't understand the ways of the world. Looking at Xiao Yingchun, his back was hunched over, almost looking humble.

"Boss Xiao, I know you are not short of money. You are willing to open this pig farm purely to give face to your uncle and give me a chance."

"Don't worry, as long as you trust me, my wife and I will definitely manage this pig farm well!"

The uncle didn't expect that he was just asking for a friend, but Xiao Yingchun actually agreed!
He realized belatedly that he was under increasing pressure, and after Liang Kaishun left, he made a solemn promise to Xiao Yingchun.

"Don't worry, Yingchun. I will keep an eye on the pig farm for you and make sure you don't suffer any loss."

"I believe in uncle. If there is profit after the New Year, uncle will take 10% of the net profit."

Xiao Qigui did not refuse: he just worked hard to make the pig farm profitable.

After all, the money was paid by Xiao Yingchun, and the wages were paid by Liang Kaishun and his wife. He was only responsible for supervision and daily supervision...

Xiao Yingchun chuckled and asked his uncle and Liang Kaishun to organize the migrant workers to prepare for the planning.

Xiao Qigui, Liang Kaishun and others have worked as construction workers for many years, and they are very good at this kind of work that does not require much technical skills.

After the drawings came out, she took them to the relevant departments to go through the procedures for opening a pig farm.

After completing the formalities, she transferred 500,000 yuan to her uncle and asked him to find someone to be fully responsible for the construction and subsequent management of the pig house.

She just took it easy.

Xiao Yingchun told Fu Chenan about her plans and went to the Tianwu Palace.

Today is the Lantern Festival.

Fu Zhonghai watched the TV series Lantern Festival on Fu Chenan's tablet computer, and learned that Xiao Yingchun was interested in this kind of scene, so he thought they could organize a Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.

After all, his daughter-in-law likes it. Fu Zhonghai is willing to spend money to make his daughter-in-law happy.

Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chen sat in the warm room and listened to work reports.

As soon as one finishes reporting, the other comes in.

There was also a recorder next to him, who was responsible for recording Fu Chenan's instructions on everything and then assigning them to individuals for implementation...

When Lu Daban came over, his face was full of smiles and joy: "Your Highness, Miss Xiao, His Majesty specially asked me to come here to tell you two some good news."

Xiao Yingchun looked at Lu Daban in surprise: "What good news?"

"Your Majesty said that today, Chen Yangzu, the youngest son of the Chen family, took a few children from noble families and took the initiative to report to Yingchun Academy."

"There were two other great scholars from Hongwen Academy who went with us..."

Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan in surprise and asked with his eyes: What's going on?

Fu Chenan knew that Xiao Yingchun liked to listen to gossip, so he immediately signaled Lu Daban to start talking.

Lu Daban immediately began to explain with a beaming smile.

It turned out that after the New Year, Chen Yangzu actually wrote a memorial to the emperor to describe what he saw at the scene.

Judging from the description in the letter, the child was greatly stimulated!

He went to the tenant's house on their farm to eat.

It's not even the New Year yet, and the tenant farmers are already eating black-faced steamed bread with pickles.

Chen Yangzu was serious about it, so he really paid a silver ingot to buy a black-faced steamed bun, and then he ate the bun in his hand with a straight face and a glare.

Not only does it not taste sweet, it also makes my throat ache!
After he finished eating, he felt a sore throat!
Pickles are salty and bitter because they are pickled with the lowest quality private salt.

Chen Yangzu took one bite and never dared to take a second one.

After finishing a black-faced steamed bread, Chen Yangzu asked the tenant why he was reluctant to have a good meal during the New Year.

The tenants did not dare to speak at first, but their teenage children were eager to try and wanted to say something.

Chen Yangzu let the child speak, and the child told the truth.

The rent for the land they rented was 50% in previous years. Last year, when the late emperor was in power, he demanded an increase in taxes, so it was raised to 60%.

Sixty percent of the income has to be paid as rent, so we should be thankful that the remaining little can feed so many people!
There are five children in their family, big and small, and they are happy if they can eat their fill of black-flour steamed bread!

They only had one meal of white bread on New Year's Eve, two per person, stuffed with sauerkraut and minced meat.

Since the first day of the new year, I have been eating brown rice, black noodles and dried wild vegetables again...

Chen Yangzu also noticed that the cotton-padded jackets of the five children were torn, cotton was leaking from the corners, and there were patches all around...

Their shoes were so dirty that you couldn't see their original color.

Chen Yangzu initially thought that they were not clean, but later he found out: each of them had only one pair of cotton shoes, and they had to go barefoot after washing them.

In this weather, they don't have to go to the fields, so naturally they don't want to go barefoot...

The oldest child showed off his new cotton-padded jacket beneath his rags. The cotton and cloth were the wages he received for repairing the reservoir years ago.

It's like this in poor families. The oldest child makes a new set of clothes, and two years later, it's passed on to the second child, and two years later, it's passed on to the third child...

The reason why they did not choose to leave the Chen family to open up wasteland this year was because they still owed the Chen family rent and could not leave.

This is the life of poor people, the true side of the lower-class people that he has always ignored.

It is happening every day in their own farm.

Chen Yangzu was greatly shocked and finally realized the significance of the simple sentence "tax exemption for three years of land reclamation and only 10% tax after three years" to the people.

At the same time, he also realized for the first time what kind of life the tenants on the farm had to live under the 50% or even 60% tax from his family.
