Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Even though he was already mentally prepared, Man Bao was still choked for a moment, a little sad, "Why?"

The young man couldn't say anything, and it took a long time to say: "It's too tiring to grow these fields, and I can't eat enough."

He couldn't say why, and a few older youths on the side answered on his behalf, "It's not good to grow farmland, and out of this area, there is Mr. Fang's house, and he rents the land for only 50% of the price. rent."

Man Bao asked, "How much rent will the court and you have?"

"This field is not bad, so they all set six buckets of rice and five buckets of noodles."

Six buckets of rice is almost one stone and two buckets of millet, and a field is the harvest of two or three stones, which is also 50%, but if the fixed rent is set for both dry land and paddy fields, other land for growing beans is not worth it. .

The young man continued: "But Mr. Fang gave us half of the grain and seeds, and he also gave us a cow for 100 acres. If the farm tools were broken, he would pay half of the money to repair them. The yamen didn't give us anything. With all the money, I have to give you job grass every season of the year..."

The three Bai Shan were particularly curious, "What is a job grass?"

"You don't even know the grass? It's the grass that your horses eat," said the young man. "Every year, it takes a lot of man-hours to prepare grass for you. It's a pity that you're not a martial artist. For us, we have to give you horse grass even for the Chinese New Year."

Man Bao swallowed his saliva, "So there is such a thing as job grass?"

"That's not right, there are too many things. Sometimes adults will come down to see that we have chickens and ducks, and we have to divide the eggs, ducks and eggs and some chickens and ducks, saying that these chickens and ducks are also raised in farmland. of."

Bai Erlang and Bai Shan turned to look at Man Bao together.

Man Bao was ashamed and whispered, "This has nothing to do with me, I just started taking over the job field now."

Bai Shan asked the young man, "Where is your home, can we visit your home?"

The young man ate all the candy in his hand and felt that although they were also nobles, they were different from the nobles they had seen in Yongzhou City.

These houses have only been built for more than ten years, but they look very old, because they are all built with grass mixed with yellow mud.

Bai Shan is not particularly tall, but when he entered the house, he had to bend down slightly to get in. After entering, he found that the room was very dark. Only then did he realize that the window was very small. When the young man saw them looking at the window, he said, "Oh, the window paper is broken. Well, that's too expensive, and it's not cold at the moment, so I didn't put it on."

Man Bao asked, "Why are your windows so small?"

"Do you still open it up? It's so cold in winter, and the heat in the room can't be kept when it's opened up."

The three of them could only accept this statement, nodded and turned to go out.

Man Bao simply found all the children who came to join in the fun, and began to visit the past one by one.

Both Man Bao and Bai Shan discovered that there were very few chickens and ducks in the village, and they didn't know if they were afraid of being divided by the court or could not afford to raise them.

A few people walked around the village, and when they returned to the door of the lichang's house, the adults had already finished speaking, and the setting sun appeared on the horizon. It was obvious that the sun was about to go down.

The head of the rib already knew from his sons that Zhou Manzheng followed the children in the village to look around. He originally wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, there was nothing in the village that they couldn't let them know about.

The villagers just don't want to rent their fields, so what can they do?

Unless they can persuade the yamen in the county to force the county magistrate to share the job fields.

This is the difference between self-management and court management. If the court manages, the Ministry of Household will send a letter to the county government, and the head of the bureau will have to break his leg for this job field.

But if it is an individual, whether the job field can be rented out is entirely up to one's own ability.

Anyway, the job field has been handed over to you to manage it yourself, and you are responsible for your own profits and losses.

When Lao Zhoutou saw Man Bao, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Man Bao aside, and said in a low voice, "Man Bao, my father just talked to the chief, but he actually said that everyone is not very happy to rent our fields, saying: It's because everyone has already made up their minds to rent some of Master Fang's fields."

Old Zhoutou was a little worried, "I asked Zhuangtou today, there are quite a lot of people in Yongzhou, but no one wants to come to work."

"It's really weird, isn't this farmland? I think it's pretty good, but why don't everyone want to plant it?"

Man Bao said: "Father, leave this to me. It's getting late now. You and your mother will get in the car and go back first, and I will talk to the licheng."

"That……"

"Don't worry, it's not getting dark so fast. We are riding a horse, and we will catch up with you soon, and there are Daji and the others."

The old Zhoutou agreed to go back first.

Mr. Zhuang called the three of them to teach a lesson, saying: "As an official, you must be kind to the people, but you must not be too weak. Set the charter before the negotiation, and once it’s set, don’t change the bottom line easily.”

Mr. Zhuang said meaningfully: "If you lose something, you must gain something, or you will lose more than your gain."

The three were thoughtful.

Then Mr. Zhuang and Lao Zhoutou left together by car.

Bai Erlang turned to look at the two of them and asked, "What do you mean by sir?"

Bai Shandao: "Sir, let us not be too soft-hearted, and don't make concessions because they have no bottom line because they have had a hard life, it will harm others and themselves."

Man Baodao: "Sir said, if I give them the benefits, then they have to pay the corresponding price or responsibility, so that they can be considered as a loss and gain."

Bai Erlang looked suspicious, "Really, why didn't I hear it?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao ignored him, instead they all showed a polite smile and turned back to look inside.

Watching Old Zhoutou and their carriage leave, the lijian, who was smiling and was about to send off Zhou Man and the three, met the smiles of the two of them, and couldn't help shivering.

Man Bao said: "Li Chang, why don't we talk to you and the villagers."

Li Chang was taken aback and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Talk about the tenancy."

Li Chang's face was slightly stiff, and he smiled stiffly: "Master Zhou, this tenancy must be done voluntarily, because you are a little late, and they have already set the land for the renter's house."

No wonder, this food has just been harvested, how could it be possible to settle down?

And those children have said that adults are very worried, so they don't want to rent farmland anymore.

Man Bao then smiled at the door and inside, "I don't charge fixed rent, you know, I am in charge of this job field now, so I don't have to do anything about the yamen. As long as I'm in office, how can I grow this land? I can be the master."

She said, "I don't want a fixed rent, but 40% of the rent. What do you think?"
