Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 1638 Buying Meat

Yes, officials can request through the Ministry of Household and their tenant farmers. For example, some officials like to eat white rice, but they don't like to eat wheat, so they specifically ask for a variety of rice and less wheat.

But Guanzhong is the best place to plant wheat. Anyway, they don't plant the land, and they don't rely on this job field to work. There are all kinds of requirements, so everyone hates being directed to plant the land.

Knowing that the thousand acres of land were all planted by them, Man Bao felt relieved, and immediately smiled: "That's just right, it's easy to manage, how much each of you want to rent, come forward and tell me."

There are hundreds of families in one mile. More than ten years ago, when Pu Village was moved over, they moved directly according to one mile. In the past ten years, it doesn’t matter whether the elderly in the family have passed away, and there is not a single branch of the family.

Life is hard enough, why do you have to split up to make yourself uncomfortable?

Even if it is noisy, in order to reduce the labor of one household, they will die without separating their families, so now Pu Village is still neat and 100 households.

Man Bao thought, one hundred households, one family rents ten acres and it is all divided up. Then, I can persuade some families with more family members to rent a little more, and the husband's two hundred acres will also be settled, which is great.

Then she spread out the paper, raised her head and asked the man in the first line while grinding the ink, "How much land do you plan to rent?"

After hesitating for a while, the man asked, "Are you sure your lord will provide us with new wheat seeds?"

Man Bao nodded.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will rent twenty acres."

Man Bao was stunned for a moment, glanced at the people behind him, and said with a tangled face: "Is it too many, there are so many people behind."

The man said, "I have a lot of people in my family. This year, we have allotted 15 mu of farmland to my family. We also rented another 10 mu of land from Mr. Fang's house, so we are all busy."

Man Bao raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the green grassy field behind them, and thought to himself: No wonder the work field is so abandoned.

After thinking about it, Man Bao asked: "Then you rented my land and rented the land of Master Fang's house?"

The man smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Since I'm a tenant farmer of the grown-up family, I won't rent land from another family anymore. Just let us know if you have something to do in the future."

The tenant farmers do not just need to farm the land. Sometimes the owner needs it, and they have to work for the owner for free. This is why the wealthy families prefer to use the tenant farmers.

If you have a tenant farmer, then you may have a household of tenant farmers, long-term workers and short-term workers, which is particularly cost-effective.

Man Bao didn't know much about this at this time. After all, she has only worked long-term jobs now, while her brothers have only worked short-term jobs, so she doesn't know much about it.

She is still like this, not to mention Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.

However, the three of them had a lot of plans in their hearts, so they needed a lot of manpower, so the three of them were naturally happy that the tenant farmers could put their hearts and minds on the farm.

So Man Bao agreed with a wave of his hand, and then wrote down their names.

Sure enough, he is the one with the most tenancy rent, and the people behind him can't rent as much, either twelve acres, or seven or eight acres.

Man Bao and Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were divided into three teams, one of whom recorded the other, and the calculation began after the recording was completed.

Because this is only their will, whether they can rent so much depends on their decision.

The three of them did the math and found that the total was 1,283 acres, 83 acres more than what they had.

Man Bao and Bai Shan compared the labor reported by each household, and then chose to subtract some acres from some people's homes.

Most of them are minus one mu, and some people don't.

After calculating the total amount of 1,200 acres, he asked the chief and said, "Let's rent according to the number of acres."

Li Chang glanced at the extra two hundred acres and was a little surprised, "This is..."

"This is my husband's work field, and the mayor should be familiar with it. It's right next to the village, and it's connected to my work field. That piece of land should have been rented by the people of your village before, right?"

The lieutenant smiled embarrassedly, "Really, really can't hide anything from adults."

Man Bao gave him the final list and said, "Fill out the tenancy list, and we'll come over in two days to stamp and divide the land."

The lieutenant responded and asked, "That wheat seed..."

"I have already sent someone to pick it up, and it will be delivered in four days at most."

The lieutenant heaved a sigh of relief, and after accepting the list, he would send the three of Man Bao away.

Man Bao glanced at the lively crowd, thinking that today was Mid-Autumn Festival, he took out a piece of silver from his purse and gave it to Li Chang, and said with a smile: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have nothing to give everyone, so I will be replaced by Li Chang. Go buy some meat to share with them."

This piece of silver is about two taels, enough to buy a pig.

Li Chang was stunned.

Man Bao directly put the silver in his hands. A pig is divided into one hundred households, which is just a small piece of meat. Man Bao got up and said goodbye to Bai Shan and others.

The captain hurriedly chased out the door, and when he saw that they were going to leave, he stopped and bowed his hands to them.

Man Bao's words were not in a low voice just now, and they said it while sitting in the yard. Therefore, some farmers also heard it, and everyone was shocked.

To tell the truth, the farm has been planted for the imperial court for more than ten years, and there have been seven or eight adults in the farm, but none of them have given things to these tenant farmers during the festival, and Zhou Man is the first.

Therefore, when the lichang bowed his hands and bowed his hands, the farmers who heard it reacted and bowed their hands.

Man Bao was a little surprised, and immediately waved his hand: "You're welcome."

The farmers behind didn't know what was going on, and followed the messy salute with a confused look.

Man Bao had already smiled and rode away with Bai Shan Bai Erlang and others, and Daji followed with his guards.

Only the six of them came here today, and the others went to Yongzhou.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, we agreed to go to Yongzhou to see the lanterns.

Mrs. Liu and the others packed up early in the morning and went ahead, and Man Bao and the others also ran away after finishing the matter here.

It's not far from Yongzhou City, and it takes less than half an hour to arrive by horseback.

The official road is very spacious, and it is still very easy to run.

It was the first time for several people to come to Yongzhou, and it was past noon when they reached the foot of Yongzhou city.

The stomach was a little hungry, so several people only looked up at Yongzhou City, which was the third largest city gate they had ever seen.

The companions look similar to Yizhou City.

The three of them only watched for a while before dismounting and queuing to enter the city. Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were a lot of people entering the city today.

The three of them were not very tall, so they were almost drowned when they walked in, and the people who Mrs. Liu sent to wait at the gate of the city almost couldn't see them.

Fortunately, the three young masters were different at first sight, so they were still seen when they walked into the city for a while, and the servants immediately waved and shouted, "Master, Miss Man, Master Tang, here... "
