Hami's eyes lit up: "Miss, can I rent it to my father to plant? My father is very good at farming, and the beans he grows will be more harvested than others."

Jiang Chan rubbed Hami's head: "Your father can't farm so many by himself, I plan to rent them to a few more people."

"Yes, what a big land, it's bigger than the whole village of our combined." Amy nodded, not very much understanding of what renting land means.

In the evening, John came to pick up Hammy and Amy. Hammy's eyes lit up when she saw him, and Amy couldn't hide her words. "Dad, Miss said today that she was going to rent the fields near the manor to others to cultivate."

John slipped under his feet: "Miss, really said that? How much land is there?"

Amy drew a semicircle on her chest with both hands: "So many!"

Hami: "Miss said that it is about one hundred and fifty acres."

John touched his head: "So many, our family can't grow it."

Hami: "The lady said she would find a few more people to plant. The lady also asked others how much they would rent a year if they rented land."

John: "The more harsh ones are seven out of ten, and the more merciful ones are basically half. If the year is not good, the rent cannot be paid, and the farmers will have to compensate them for the losses."

"I'm also hesitating whether to rent a land. If I get into a year, I will owe more farmers, and it will be bad for me to become a serf."

Once you become a serf, it will be difficult to get rid of this identity. John once heard that some people have to work for the farmer because they cannot pay back the debts they owe to the farmer.

"Miss, I will not charge so much rent." Hami frowned. This was something he had never thought about, but no matter how good the serfs were, they were not free to come.

"I want to go back and discuss this with your mother and see what she thinks." John was not sure about it, so he still wanted to go home and discuss it carefully.

John's supper was boiled beans, plus the white bread brought back by Hammy and Amy. They didn't dare to think about such a day before. Before, everyone could only eat black bread, and the white bread had to be sold in the town.

Ruini tear down a corner of the bread and dipped it in the soup of boiling beans: "What's wrong? You guys are all worried when you come back?"

In the past month, because Jiang Chan invisibly supplemented the two brothers Hami and Amy, Ruini's family had a lot of life, and at least they had two missing mouths for eating at home.

Her face also became much rosy, unlike the sallow yellow ones before. The youngest child also grew a lot of flesh and no longer looked thin.

John copied the words of Hammy and Amy, and the bread in Ruiming's hand fell down: "You must agree to such a good thing!"

"But what if the lady wants a lot of rent?" John was a little worried. What if the rent was too expensive, what if the family eventually became a serf?

"Miss Renshan, I will definitely not charge a lot of rent." Ruini changed the youngest son in her arms, patted her gently, and analyzed Jiang Chan's personality with John.

"We are so poor here, why did the lady choose Hami and Amy to feed the horses? Isn't the lady trying to take care of us? Look at the bread that Hami usually brings back, and the lady gave her a piece of cloth the day before yesterday, which all shows that the lady is kind-hearted."

"Besides, we don't rent it as soon as we ask. If you think the rent is too expensive, we can't rent it, and we don't offend people if we ask. But if the rent is reasonable, our family's life will be much better."

I have to say that compared to the honest John, Ruini is still very smart.

"Sure, I'll go over and ask tomorrow." John is also a decisive person. As Ruini said, he would not offend anyone if he asked. Of course, if he charged half of the rent, he would rent it.

The next day, Jiang Chan welcomed the nervous John. Ruini wanted to take care of her children at home, otherwise she would have come by herself.

After hearing John's purpose, Jiang Chan smiled and said, "I will charge 30% of the rent here."

John widened his eyes: "How much? 30% rent? That's great!"

This honest man's eyes were about to smile. If he collected 30% of the rent, he would be hardworking and he would be able to save a lot of food in a year. Thinking of this, John immediately made up his mind and did it!

Jiang Chan led John to the outside of the manor for a while. Looking at the vast land in front of him, John swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of burning light.

"Miss, I want to rent five acres of land. Can I choose which piece of land I can?" After evaluating my own abilities, John raised this question.

"Dive from the location of the manor, the first one to rent must be near the manor." Jiang Chan looked at the terrain: "The fields here are almost the same, and I can't say which one is the best."

"I'll choose this one." John looked around and finally chose a field closest to the manor. Jiang Chan did not comment and signed a contract with John in duplicate. John went back with this contract in a precious manner.

If he had rented a land for ginger cicada for a long time, he had already planned to move his home near the manor. This would have facilitated the two children to go back and forth. If Ruini could find another job to make a living in the manor, John's pace of going home accelerated a little more when he thought of this.

It sounds like a lot of land of 150 acres, but it is actually very quickly divided. When John returned to the village, he said that in less than three days, all the land on hand was rented by the villagers in the village.

John rented the most, five acres of land, and two acres and three acres. They didn't dare to rent too much at once. If this was a trap, they would just do a one-year work in vain, but if they became serfs, they would lose their personal freedom.

A craze for land reclamation has emerged near the manor. These lands have been deserted for so many years, and it is not a simple project to clean them up.

Jiang Chan also promised not to collect rent in the first year, and as long as they open the land, 30% of the rent will be collected from the second year. With this promise, these people are more enthusiastic about their work.

If the land is opened carefully in the first year, then the ones you get will be yours. Moreover, the lady also said that if the food is rich, she can choose to sell it to her and she can purchase it at the market price.

For a time, the old remote manor was busy, with people coming and going every day. Everyone usually came and returned together in the morning and returned together in the evening.

There are so many people and eyes. It is not a secret that Hami and Amy feed horses in the manor. Everyone in the village knows it. No one is jealous of the treatment of these two children, but who told them not to meet Jiang Chan first?
