Sang Luo felt that Village Chief Wu was somewhat interested, otherwise he would have refused directly and would not have asked in such detail.

"Of course there is a difference! If you rent the land, you are my tenants. If I contract it to you, we will have a cooperative relationship."

Village Chief Wu nodded thoughtfully: "A cooperative relationship?"

"Yes! It's up to you to decide how you want to plant the fields! I only need a part of the harvest! You have absolute freedom."

Sang Luo feels that only if they feel that the things grown in the fields belong to them will they plant them with care.

Village Chief Wu picked up his pipe, filled himself with some tobacco leaves, lit it, and started smoking.

Sang Luo didn't bother him. He was probably thinking about the pros and cons of smoking.

After a long time, Village Chief Wu said, "How about this? You guys sit down for a while and I'll call some respected elderly people in the village to come over and discuss it together."

Sang Luo felt that this was the best, and if there was any problem, he would solve it in person today.

"Okay! That's what I have in mind, so that if you have any thoughts and opinions, you can share them and discuss them together."

Village Chief Wu sent the younger members of his family to inform the villagers to come to his home to discuss the matter.

Not long after, some people came to Village Chief Wu's house one after another. Not only were they highly respected, there were also many strong laborers.

When they saw Sang Luo, they all had a bit of confusion in their eyes, and some of them even had a bit of hostility.

Sang Luo looked at these people, feeling somewhat nervous.

Although she tried her best to act friendly and calm, she still had some concerns when thinking of their tough past.

"Village chief, why is she here? Is she the one looking for us?"

Daniel was deeply impressed by this old woman. With his physique, he actually didn't take any of her moves at that time. It was a great shame and humiliation to be trampled under his feet.

Village Chief Wu looked at Daniel who asked the question and nodded: "Yes! The fields in Hepu Village are now in the hands of Mrs. Sang. I invite you here today because I want to tell you that Mrs. Sang wants to contract the fields to us.

kind."

"Contract? What do you mean?" Everyone made confused sounds.

Sang Luo then said: "The land belongs to you, and the food you grow must pay enough taxes and give me part of it. The rest is yours."

"Then shall we pay the rent?" someone asked.

"What rent do I have to pay when I contract it to you? I'll plant it for you for free!" Sang Luo quickly explained to them.

"Does this mean that the food we grow for free belongs to us?"

Village Chief Wu said: "Why do you think so much about such good things? Pay enough government taxes and Mrs. Sang's due income, and the rest is ours."

After everyone understood, someone asked: "Mrs. Sang, how much do you want to harvest?"

"It's the same amount as the government tax!" Sangluo said. "In good years, the government will collect about 30%, in normal years it will be 20%, and in disaster years it will be 10% or no tax. Me too!"

After hearing this, everyone calculated their accounts and said, "Then it's not much different from renting it to us!"

"Of course there is a difference. Who cares about your seeds if I rent them to you? Whether the harvest is good or not, the rent will be the same, right?"

"You still care about our seeds?" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the news. This saves a lot of money!

"Yes! Seeds are distributed every year. Of course, if you are worried that my seeds are not good, you can also choose your own seeds. This is not forced!"

Sang Luo didn't want to impose too many restrictions on them. After all, they were both experienced in the field and had plenty of experience.

"Then we will select the seeds ourselves, will you provide subsidies?" someone asked.

"No!" Sang Luo refused, "But when I choose seeds every year, you can give me suggestions on what kind of seeds to buy."

Everyone understood and nodded: "Oh! That's right!"

Seeing how cooperative they were, Sang Luo felt relieved. She thought it would be difficult to talk, but it seemed like they were still easy to talk to.

Sang Luo said: "This is why Village Chief Wu called everyone here today. If you are willing to contract the fields in Hepu Village, then we will sign a contract and contract the fields to you for planting!"

As soon as Sang Luo finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and no one stood up to express his willingness to contract.

What does this mean?

Village Chief Wu said: "Mrs. Sang, can we go back to live in Hepu Village?"

Sang Luo said: "I can go back and live there, but I don't have the deeds to those houses. They belong to the government."

"Didn't you say that the two miles around Houshan belong to you? Isn't the village within those two miles?" Village Chief Wu asked.

After hearing what Village Chief Wu said, Sang Luo understood that they wanted to return to the village but were afraid that the government would not allow it.

She thought that if all the houses in the village now belonged to her, they could live in peace and free of charge.

Sang Luo laughed and said, "I also think that the village belongs to me, but the government is so smart! The village is under the jurisdiction of the government, but it cannot be turned into my private village."

Village Chief Wu and others understood and said, "Will the government allow us to live there?"

Sang Luo said: "I will discuss this matter with the government! It shouldn't be a big problem. If the government is really willing to sell it, can you buy it?"

"If it were my old house, I would definitely buy it back." Village Chief Wu said and looked towards Sang Luo. His family's house was occupied by Mrs. Sang and her family!

Sang Luo was a little embarrassed, but it was not impossible for her to build a house in Hepu Village again!

It’s just that it would cost several hundred taels of silver!

Now she still had more than two thousand taels of silver left. Before she had a stable income, she still wanted to save some money.

"You and the village chief have similar opinions! Then I'll let the government sell it and give it a try!" Sang Luo immediately agreed.

Everyone suddenly started whispering.

"The fields don't belong to us anymore, what's the use of buying back our old house?" Suddenly a voice came from the crowd.

Sang Luo said: "Why not? The fields are in my hands, and I promise you that I will contract our fields for more than ten years. Then the fields will be sold to you at half price."

"Really? Are Mrs. Sang's words serious?" Village Chief Wu suddenly became excited.

Sang Luo nodded: "Of course I take it seriously, I can write this into the contract."

Daniel suddenly stood up and said: "You are speaking nicely now, but who knows what your intentions are? Master Han was also speaking well at the beginning, but what happened later? Village chief, I don't think they are good people."

Sang Luo looked at Daniel and said, "What thoughts can I have? I just think it's pitiful that you lost your original life because of wild boar, and I want to help you."

Daniel said: "Forget it! I don't believe a word of what you said. We are not related to you. You have no intention to offer us such a good condition?"
