Chapter 421 422 Safe Button
Jixiang went to Wangjia'ao the next day and told the tenants about Li Yu's decision. Tang Yong and the tenants looked at Jixiang in surprise, and they all suspected that they had heard wrong. Even He Dachun looked surprised.
Ji Xiang looked at them and said to them: "My wife said that the rent has been reduced and the lease must be re-signed. We only have one request. Everyone must pay the rent on time. No rent arrears unless there are extraordinary circumstances."
Tang Yong stepped forward and took out the contract, "Boss, it's really 40 or 60, are you correct?"
Ji Xiang looked at Tang Yong happily and said, "That's right. Please bring the old contract and sign a new lease for you according to the amount above."
The tenants all cheered after hearing this, and those who didn't bring the contract hurried home, fearing that Jixiang would change his mind. Only when they got the new contract did they feel their hearts settled.
Jixiang found a craftsman in the village and gave him the task of painting the house. He took the craftsman to the bamboo forest outside the backyard to have a look, and asked them to dig a manure tank outside, build two pigsties, and install the toilet and bathhouse in the house. Fang followed Li Yu's habits and rectified them.
After the craftsman saw the drawings drawn by Jixiang, he told Jixiang that the completion would not be completed until the end of May at the latest. Jixiang thought that he could not keep watch here often, and thought that the man named Tang Yong was the one who caused the trouble, so he went to the fields to find Tang Yong. Brave.
When Tang Yong saw Ji Xiang found the field, he got up from the rice field with a smile and said, "Chief steward, do you have any questions for me?"
Ji Xiang said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I will hire you to repair the yard according to the wages you get when you go out to work, plant some vegetables in the empty space, and then help watch the craftsmen work, and there are still some empty spaces." You can find a few people to help cultivate a few acres of land, and I will get some seeds to plant in a few days."
Tang Yong glanced at Ji Xiang in surprise, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied: "Thank you for your trust, Chief Steward, I will do a good job."
Ji Xiang smiled and cupped his hands at him, "Okay, if you do well, my master will not treat you badly."
Jixiang went back and watched Han San for more than thirty days before taking the corn seeds to Wangjia'ao. He took Tang Yong and others to light the seeds, and told Tang Yong to look after Han San. Then he returned to the city to look for Han San.
Han San looked at Ji Xiang with a smile, "Boss, don't worry, I've already taken over. I found a boy about his age and led him there several times. Everyone in the casino likes someone to lead these young people. If they go to a casino and get hooked, they will make a lot of money."
Ji Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Can the casino you are looking for provide enough food and accommodation?"
Han San leaned his head over to Ji Xiang's ear and said, "Boss, that casino is run by the eldest princess's consort's family."
After hearing this, Ji Xiang felt a chill in his heart. It was shameless for a family like that to open a casino.
Han San chuckled and said: "Chief, you don't know, don't you? Nowadays, some of the clan members are already living off pawns. Do you think the clan members are really that rich? Eating, drinking, and showing off don't cost money! If you are not good at management, you will not need money. People who can’t save their dignity and go out to make money can only survive by relying on their ancestors’ money!”
After hearing this, Jixiang felt the same. When the young master took everyone to Qingchuan, he relied on Uncle Zhou to open a small shop, and life was very tight. Later, the young master cheered up and took care of the business, and life became better. Later, the young master met Madam, life at home is getting better and better.
Ji Xiang patted Han San and said, "Do a good job, I'll wait for you to come, and our brothers will share the worries of the master and his wife."
"Brothers! Hehe!" Han San was elated by Ji Xiang's words, "Thank you, Chief Manager. I will definitely help you with your affairs."
Ji Xiang looked at him and warned: "Let me tell you, my husband and wife treat others the best, but you have to abide by the rules in our family. If you do anything like bullying or bullying, the master and his wife will definitely sell you to the salt farm." If you are exposed to salt, you will never be able to turn over again in your next life."
Han San nodded calmly after hearing this, "Boss, don't worry. Although Han San is a side fishermen, my father has said before his death that the Han family is not allowed to engage in murder, expropriation, or separation of human flesh and blood.
You have also checked me out. You see, I have done some things to make trouble in the past few years. Those gamblers who are addicted to gambling have their own evil intentions and want to make easy money. The most honest ones will be fooled once, and they will be fooled next time. No matter how you try, you can't get rid of it. "
After hearing this, Ji Xiang felt that what Han San said made sense, and nodded, "Well! I'm leaving first. I'm very busy these days, so I won't come to see you. If you need anything, please bring me a message."
Ji Xiang went home and told Zhou Jia what Han San said. Zhou Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Yongjiang Mountain has been here for more than a hundred years. At the beginning, Emperor Taizong kept them in captivity because he was on guard against the clan. Now most of the clan's disciples have developed... In order to get rid of the habit of reaching out to ask for something, His Majesty has begun to recruit knowledgeable people in the clan, and these people who are not enterprising will still suffer."
"My master's analysis is right. These people don't know what they are thinking. They have clan status and no one dares to take advantage of any business. As long as they are willing to do it, they will have to pawn to survive. It's not like they can't lose face. Is it shameful to live as a pawn?"
yes! Like the man in the old house, who separated half of the house to go out. As long as there was no extravagance and waste, the rent would be enough. But he wanted to save face and pawned all the household items the old man bought. Alas! It’s hard to start a business but it’s also hard to keep a home! Zhou Jia thought of this and decided not to pamper her children, but to let them know that life is not easy.
It's early June in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's extremely hot in the capital, and people feel like they're in a steamer. Li Yu is already more than three months pregnant, and Zhou Jia plans to take advantage of Xiu Mu to send Li Yu to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.
Old Mrs. Zhou came to Zhou's house and had good food and wine. After he was full, he said to Jixiang: "Go and bring the young master. I have something for him."
"Wait for me to go to the backyard to invite the young master for you." Jixiang went to the backyard and told Zhou Jia what Mrs. Zhou said, "Master, do you think?"
Zhou Jia thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, take the young master with you!"
Jixiang went to the garden and found Yangyang, who was holding Xiaobai and playing with the little loaches. He said to him, "Master, the old man wants to see you and says he has something for you."
Yangyang looked at Jixiang and said, "Uncle, he wants to see me!" After saying that, he gave Xiaobai to Maodou and followed Jixiang to the front yard.
Mr. Zhou stood at the door and saw Ji Xiang coming with Yang Yang. He quickly went back and sat on the chair. Yang Yang entered the room and saluted him and said, "Yang'er pays homage to my uncle."
"Get up quickly," Mr. Zhou looked at Yangyang with a smile, took a safety buckle and put it in his hand, "Take it, my uncle took it to the Taoist temple to consecrate it. May Yang'er be safe and sound."
After Yang Yang took it, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Yang'er, thank you so much, uncle."
Mr. Zhou nodded with a smile, "Yes! Study hard, my uncle is back."
Yang Yang looked at him and said, "Uncle, is your home far away? Yang'er will see you off!"
Mr. Zhou waved his hand and refused, "No, your Uncle Xiang can just give it to me. You can go back and rest early."
