The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

"Thank you, Steward Zhao. In that case, I'll come again in a few days."

Jiang Yun understood.

Such matters include tenants returning their rent and land.

A single butler cannot make the decisions.

"What business do you have with the master?"

Zhao Xiao couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Yun wanted to see his master about.

I'm even more curious about Jiang Yun, a tenant farmer.

Where did they get so much silver?

"Returning land and rent."

"Oh... then this matter indeed needs to be decided by the master."

Zhao Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

He wondered what kind of fortune Jiang Yun had made.

Is there any money available to return the land and get a rent refund?

Goodbye.

Jiang Yun had no choice but to leave first.

He left and then returned.

back home.

Ling'er asked in confusion, "Husband, why so fast?"

"Fang Lihong is not home. I will go again in a few days."

Jiang Yun put the silver back where it was.

Ling'er walked over, puzzled, and asked, "I heard Mother say that the landlord's name is Fang Yilong, and Fang Lihong is his son?"

On ordinary days.

The rent was collected by the steward Zhao Xiao and the accountant Xu Feng.

Ling'er had rarely seen anyone from the landlord's family.

She's right.

The landlord was indeed Fang Yilong.

However, Fang Yilong is getting old and has gone to Qingshan Lake to retire.

All matters concerning the family's fields were entrusted to the eldest son, Fang Lihong.

The landlord of Qingshan Village is actually Fang Lihong.

"I see." Ling'er suddenly realized.

"Fang Yilong is over sixty years old. He has a younger brother named Fang Yixun, who is the one the village elders say is the one who has joined one of the three great immortal sects."

Jiang Yun told Ling'er everything she knew.

More than sixty years ago.

The landlord, Fang Renjing, had two sons.

The eldest son is Fang Yilong, and the second son is Fang Yixun.

When my two sons were around ten years old.

Fang Renjing took his son to visit the sacred mountain, seeking a connection with the immortals.

Unexpectedly, his second son, Fang Yixun, was chosen by the three major immortal sects and formally joined one of them.

The eldest son, Fang Yilong, has no spiritual root.

He had no choice but to inherit the family property and become a landlord in Qingshan Village.

Later, Fang Yilong had four sons.

The eldest son, Fang Lihong, is now a landlord in Qingshan Village.

The second son, Fang Liping, served as an official in Huaizhou Prefecture and held a high position.

Although the third son, Fang Likun, and the fourth son, Fang Lipeng, had no affinity for immortality, they could cultivate martial arts and serve in the imperial army.

"My husband, from what you're saying, Fang Yilong's four sons are all exceptional individuals."

Ling'er learned about it.

Only then did I realize the landlord's family's wealth and influence.

The strongest trump card is Fang Yixun, who cultivates in the three major immortal sects.

As long as Fang Yixun remains in power, the landlord family will have something to rely on.

"What dragon among men? Our son will definitely be better than them in the future."

Jiang Yun dismissed it with disdain.

He has the ability to bestow spiritual roots upon mortals.

My son is going to cultivate immortality someday.

Aren't they better than Fang Yilong's four sons?

"What my husband says is absolutely right."

Ling'er nodded in deep agreement.

……

Three days later.

Jiang Yun took the silver and the land deed.

They arrived at the Fang residence early in the morning.

The guards at the gate saw that Jiang Yun was still carrying a sack, so they went in to report.

After informing Steward Zhao.

Jiang Yun entered the front yard and met Zhao Xiao.

"Is Master Fang here?" Jiang Yun asked.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Xiao said, "I've already spoken to the master about your matter. Come with me."

Thank you for your trouble.

Jiang Yun followed Zhao Xiao to the backyard.

The backyard is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, with artificial hills and water features, creating a charming scene.

"The master is in the study."

Zhao Xiao led Jiang Yun to the study.

"Master, Jiang Yun has arrived."

He stood outside the door with his head bowed, speaking very respectfully.

"Enter."

Inside the study.

Fang Lihong's deep voice came through.

"Let's go."

Zhao Xiao called out to Jiang Yun.

The two entered the study one after the other.

Jiang Yun entered the room and glanced at Fang Lihong.

This man doesn't seem like a landlord or a powerful figure; he looks like a scholar.

"You're Jiang Yun, and your father is Jiang Dashan?"

Fang Lihong raised his head and looked at Jiang Yun.

His every move exuded the aura of someone in a superior position.

"Exactly."

Jiang Yun stood up straight.

"Steward Zhao said you want to return the land and pay the rent. Is the money ready?"

Fang Lihong held a land deed in his hand.

This land deed is exactly the same as the one in Jiang Yun's hand.

"It's all ready." Jiang Yun lifted the sack. "There are 84 taels of silver in here, which is just enough to cover seven years of compensation."

"Hmm, not bad." Fang Lihong said unhurriedly, "Twelve mu of land, 12 taels of silver per year, seven years is exactly 84 taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiao glanced at Fang Lihong with a puzzled expression.

He thought to himself, "The master has already agreed?"

He tried to figure out what Fang Lihong was thinking.

He took the silver from Jiang Yun and counted it carefully.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is indeed 84 taels, not a penny less."

After counting the silver, Zhao Xiao said respectfully.

"Jiang Dashan, your son has made something of himself."

Fang Lihong looked at the land deed in his hand, talking and laughing.

This statement made Jiang Yun wary of Fang Lihong.

It sounds like a compliment.

But the tone was strange.

Does anyone know what Fang Lihong means?

Not wanting to waste time, Jiang Yun said, "I've given you the silver, now give me the land deed."

"Here you go." Fang Lihong handed the land deed to Zhao Xiao. "If you want to rent land in the future, you can come back to me."

Zhao Xiao respectfully accepted the land deed and handed it to Jiang Yun.

Thank you.

Jiang Yun saw that he had obtained the land deed.

I checked it once.

After confirming that everything was correct, I bowed and thanked them.

"If there is nothing else, I will not disturb you any longer."

The land deed is in hand.

The land reclamation and cessation of tenancy were successful.

Jiang Yun will no longer be exploited by landlords.

He felt extremely pleased.

He immediately took his leave and left the Fang residence.

After Jiang Yun left.

Inside the study.

Fang Lihong said calmly, "Zhao Xiao."

"Your servant is here."

Zhao Xiao immediately knelt on the ground, awaiting orders.

What's your opinion on this matter?

The matter Fang Lihong was referring to was naturally Jiang Yun's decision to relinquish his land and leave the tenancy agreement.

"It's very strange," Zhao Xiao said, voicing his doubts. "Jiang Yun's family has been tenant farmers for generations. Where did he get so much money?"

After saying that, he added, "Tenant families hardly save any silver throughout the year, so it's not normal for Jiang Yun to take out 84 taels of silver at once."

Fang Lihong nodded and tapped the table with his finger.

After a long pause, he spoke:

"Send two skilled men to keep an eye on Jiang Yun. I need to know what he does every day."

Zhao Xiao immediately replied, "Yes, sir."

……

Outside the Fang residence.

On his way home, Jiang Yun tore up the land deed.

He was somewhat surprised that Fang Lihong didn't make things difficult for him and returned the land deed directly.

But then I thought about it again.

If the lease is terminated early and the land is returned, compensation will be given, but the land still belongs to the landlord.

These fields.

If Jiang Yun doesn't plant it, plenty of others will.

The landlord only needs to find more people to cultivate the land.

You won't lose money no matter what.

"Finally, I don't have to be a slave to the landlord anymore!"

On the way home.

Jiang Yun was in a very good mood.

Not only did they escape the tenant farming situation, but they also gained achievement points.
