Chapter 608 You are also a landlord
"Yes, yes, yes, tell me more, is there really such a good thing?"
The old man looked like an old farmer, sitting in the car with a hunched back, wearing a straw hat, and not speaking, truly looking like an honest old farmer.
Zhou Guo first glanced at the old man and said with a smile: "This fertilizer is fermented by ourselves..."
I explained it in detail from beginning to end, including how to sell it and what to use.
No one was saying whether it was true or not, or whether it was fat or not. The old man sitting here was still of some use.
Zhou Guo was very satisfied. Although everyone might not believe it, it was great that her words no longer had to be repeated over and over again.
The woman who spoke first slapped her thigh again and said, "Oh, you said it very well. My husband only says three things when he comes and goes. Today, two young men came to the village and said they were selling fertilizer. We can buy it and pay it back with grain and beans after the autumn harvest. That's all. No more. You said so much, but he only remembered these three things. It's so frustrating."
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Aunt, the three sentences that uncle remembered are also the most important three sentences. Otherwise, how would you know that we are here to sell fat, right? Don't blame him."
The woman smiled and said, "I don't blame him. He has been like this all his life. I am used to it. I thought there are good things like this in the world, so I told everyone that if you don't come today, we will go to your village tomorrow to see what's going on. It's not far anyway."
"Yeah, whether you buy anything or not, it's good to just go and watch the fun."
Everyone said yes.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Aunts, uncles and aunts can go anytime. There are always people in the village. When we came here, we met many people on the road who were going to Cangshan Village. If everything goes well today, their fertilizer can be transported back."
Everyone couldn't sit still when they heard this. After all, Zhou Guo said that there was not much fertilizer in this batch. If the next batch of fertilizer came out, it would take more than a month. The wheat would need fertilizer during this period, and there was not enough fertilizer at home.
Zhou Guo was very considerate and said with a smile, "Then we'll go."
The old man shook the reins and the ox cart moved slowly.
The children in the village were very lively, and groups of them followed behind and cheered. Zhou Guo glanced at the food box nearby, opened the lid, and threw handfuls of candy to them.
Children of all ages were bending over and scrambling for the items, so they didn’t even remember chasing the ox cart.
The old man said, “Why don’t you take it out sooner?”
Zhou Guo said, "I forgot about it. I was blocked as soon as I entered the village. I didn't even have a chance to ring the gong. How could I remember these candies?"
Then he opened another food box, picked out a piece of dried meat, and handed it to the old man, "Master, here."
"I don't want it." The old man held the wine gourd and shook his head in disgust. He was old and his teeth were not good. How could he bite something as hard as a stone? He was afraid that his teeth would be knocked out.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to eat by himself, biting the dried meat and leaning back. In order to make it convenient to lean back, there were a few sacks of grass in the car, so he could lie down and lean back when he was tired.
I held the dried meat leg in my mouth and lifted it up and down. The sun in this season was not too strong, and it felt warm and comfortable on my body. The breeze was blowing on my face, and the day was so beautiful that I couldn't help humming a song.
The old man turned his head and took a look. Seeing her little appearance, he couldn't help but shook his head. He narrowed his eyes, took another sip of wine, and couldn't help but howl towards the empty wilderness.
Zhou Guo was startled, and then he hummed even more happily.
An old man and a young boy were like this, you drink and I eat meat, I hum songs and you howl. From time to time on the road, we would meet people working in the fields, and they would stop to look at the father and son.
Zhou Guo, who was less present, went straight over.
After walking for a while, we came across several large pieces of land. The entire basin was filled with land, and many people were working on it.
Zhou Guo stood up excitedly and said to the old man, "Master, we just need to convince these people today. There are so many people and so much land here. If we don't spread the word ourselves, they will naturally tell everyone about it when they go back, and we don't have to go everywhere."
The old man looked at the large piece of land and was not optimistic. "Such a large piece of land, in a good location, and connected together, do you think it belongs to these people?"
Zhou Guo was stunned, then took a closer look and felt disappointed. It seemed to belong to some big landlord. But forget about the big landlord, she couldn't afford to offend him now.
The master and disciple didn't want to get into trouble, so the ox cart rumbled forward.
Zhou Guo sighed, sat down and said, "Master, why don't we go back now? If we continue to spread the word like this, those landlords will know about it sooner or later. Then they will come to steal my wealth and my methods. What should I do?"
The old man was amused when he saw her like this, "Why, you are usually fearless, but you are scared now?"
Zhou Guo said: "I am not afraid of anything, but this matter, if I am not careful, someone will take advantage of me, and then rob me of my things and my life, and finally my family will be destroyed. How can I not be afraid?"
The old man asked curiously, “Do you think too highly of these landlords?”
Zhou Guo was stunned. "Isn't that amazing? The landlord!"
The old man said, "Landlords can be divided into big landlords, small landlords, and medium and small landlords. Strictly speaking, you are now a medium landlord. As far as I know, there is only one big landlord nearby, and it is said that his family owns thousands of acres of land. The others are either medium landlords or small landlords. We are all landlords, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Guo said: "I'm afraid they have someone behind them, someone who can back them up!"
The old man laughed, "They have backers, don't you? It's just the beginning now, a small fat village, a stone of rice is worth more than 100 coins, even if they know about it, they will look down on your business of more than 100 coins. When you are successful and can attract their attention, the big warehouse will probably have some success. What are you afraid of these small landlords? They have more people, so you don't have less people? They have money, don't you?"
Zhou Guo thought it made sense. She had everything they had, and she also had everything they didn't have. "Master, you're right. I don't need to be afraid of them. When my business becomes big, even if I don't have my uncle, I can still make a way out with my money. I don't believe that there are still people in this world who can't get along with money."
The old man nodded. "As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. There is some truth to that."
Having said that, Zhou Guo still did not get out of the car. It is better to avoid trouble as much as possible.
There happened to be a few children on the roadside, so she grabbed two handfuls of candy from the lunch box and gave them to them. The children were so happy that they answered whatever she asked.
"This is the land of the landlord Zhao. This big piece belongs to them. Not only this piece, but also the big piece over there. The landlord Zhao has a lot of land. Many families in our village who don't have enough land rent his land for farming. His family collects little rent, only 50%, while other places collect 60%. Our family rented five acres."
