Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao was taken aback and said, "I didn't intend to turn the job field into a private field, isn't that a Chinese beetle?"

She said: "I just want to manage the tenants and the farm by myself, and the farming will be more meticulous and the harvest will be higher. If I don't become an official in the future, or if I change the official position and change the farm, the original farm will be sure. going back."

Liu Huan said: "I also said that you are not such a person, but my grandfather has no doubts. He only said that the management of the job field is also very complicated. If you want to manage your own children, you can only go to the Ministry of Household to apply for a report."

Bai Shan then said to Man Bao, "That's probably fine. I'll go with you later when I find time."

Man Bao rolled his eyes and said, "Mr.'s job field is right next to me. Let's call Mister together."

Mr. Zhuang doesn't care about the job field at all. Now he is all focused on studying and teaching the prince and the three disciples. The job field should not be the same as the salary. When the time comes, he should get the share he deserves. Is it ok?

But Man Bao was full of confidence, and there were many people in the old Zhou family in the capital. In terms of farming, they were much better than him, so he nodded after thinking about it.

Then he said: "It is not easy for you to come out of the palace. Since you have already mentioned it in Liu Shang's written statement, then you can leave this matter to me. I will go to the Ministry of Household to apply for the formalities."

Man Bao and Bai Shan both breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was an exception, and they were still a little embarrassed.

Mr. Zhuang smiled at them, comforted them, and then let them play, keeping this matter in mind.

The reason why he took the initiative to take over this matter was to inquire in more detail.

He doesn't know much about the management of job fields, but as far as he knows, job farms have always been managed by the household department. After the harvest every summer and autumn, the household department will calculate the rental output of each person, and they will be distributed by the household together. Department delivered.

Even for local officials, there are people in the yamen who are responsible for this matter. However, compared to Beijing officials, most of the local officials can manage their own fields.

After all, it is under its own jurisdiction, which is very convenient.

Unlike Beijing officials, job fields have radiated to Yongzhou, Shangzhou, Liangzhou and other places.

Therefore, with the exception of some who have a lot of jobs and fields, they will be asked to manage themselves, and most of the officials are handed over to the Ministry of Households to manage them.

Because the cost of management is also a lot, it is better to hand it over to the Ministry of Household, which saves a lot of effort.

When Mr. Zhuang found the Ministry of Household, the official in charge of the field of households only glanced at Mr. Zhuang and gave him two forms for him to fill out.

Then he said: "Lord Zhou Xiao still has to use her seal to confirm that it is her own will."

Mr. Zhuang knew at a glance that someone had already greeted him, and he smiled and inquired about the current situation of the job field.

Regardless of the fact that the Ministry of Household manages the fields of officials of all sizes, the officials in charge of this matter are not of high rank, only seven ranks, which is slightly higher than that of Mr. Zhuang.

Because Mr. Zhuang was here to apply for self-management, he just had to clarify some matters to him, so he took the opportunity to talk about the management of this job field.

Mr. Zhuang returned to Chongwen Hall with a thoughtful expression, and then called Man Bao to him. Of course, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were also having lunch, so the three of them were called to him together.

"Manbao, you have a total of 1,000 mu of farmland. With so many fields, have you thought about how to farm it?"

Man Bao immediately said: "Isn't there a tenant farmer? Just instruct the tenant farmer at that time. My father wants to take care of it himself."

Mr. Zhuang said: "There may be no tenant farmers."

Man Bao widened his eyes, and Bai Shan raised his head in surprise, "How come there are no tenant farmers?"

"Because it is difficult to hire tenant farmers." Mr. Zhuang said, "Why do you think the Ministry of Household is so lenient? If you want to manage your own farmland, it will be given to you immediately?"

He said, "Because the job field is not easy to manage at all."

Not only is it not easy to manage, but it is simply not thankful to work hard.

Regardless of the fact that many farms are good farmland, people from the household department said that there are not many tenant farmers who are willing to rent farmland for farming. Between buckets of rice, it depends on the soil and fertilizer conditions.”

Bai Shan did the math and said, "It's reasonable."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said: "But this must be given. For renting other people's land, the owner may also give some good seeds and farming tools, but the court has nothing here, so they don't like renting farmland."

"Many tenant farmers are forced to rent crops, so if you want to manage your own farmland, it may be difficult to recruit tenant farmers."

Man Bao said: "You have to see it on the spot to know."

After counting the days, Bai Shan said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. I heard that there will be foreign vassals coming to the DPRK during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I will take a few more days off, otherwise we will go to Yongzhou to see?"

Man Bao's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Okay, okay."

Even if you don't go to the job field, it's good to go to Yongzhou to play.

Bai Erlang also wanted to go, "It's not too far away anyway, half a day's work will be done, we can still stay in the village for a few more days, I heard that the sheep scorpion in Yongzhou is very delicious."

Bai Shan and Man Bao wanted to go even more.

Mr. Zhuang, who still had a lot of words to say, was silent for a while, and then simply handed over a booklet to Manbao, "Although the farm is handed over to us to manage, there are also requirements, such as all the rent and taxes with the tenant farmers, fixed The rent cannot exceed six buckets of meters, and the sublease cannot exceed 60%.”

This was the only measure the court could take to protect the tenant farmers.

Man Bao agreed, and after reading the regulations, he said to Bai Erlang, "You can even ask for 60% of the sub-rent, but it's really dark. I thought everyone would ask for 40%. Isn't your family always taking 40%?"

"Divided by place," Bai Erlang didn't know much, but every year Zhuangtou came to his house to report the situation, so he listened and said, "In some places, my father also receives 50%."

Man Bao was curious, "Why is it different?"

Bai Erlang: "How do I know? Why don't I ask my father for you when I go back?"

Bai Shan said: "Because the place is different, the soil fertilizer is also different."

He said: "Luojiang County is where he lives after all, even in order to make good neighbors, he should take less tax. In other places, take less land for thin land, and take more land for rich land. Now my family is in Longzhou. Taxes in the area are also mostly 40%, and only 50% in some places.”

Man Bao and Bai Erlang were stunned when they heard it.

"Grandma said, even if we don't live in Longzhou now, that is our hometown, where our family is, and we should manage the local area well." Bai Shan said meaningfully: "The rabbits don't eat the grass on the edge of the nest. The surrounding areas where they are located have high rents, and most of them will not last long, even the wealthy families, they have to be more tolerant to the tenants around them.”

A very realistic question, but for some reason, Man Bao felt a little chill in her heart, she secretly said: Isn't this the exploitation written in some books in the encyclopedia?

Bai Shan obviously thought of it too, looked at Man Bao and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing for the tenant farmers if you have to manage the farm by yourself."
