Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Zhou Man not only supports them in raising chickens, but also in raising sheep and cattle, as well as raising pigs.

It's just that few people in the village choose to raise pigs, and most choose to raise sheep and cattle.

If it wasn't for the high qualifications required to raise cattle, the owners would have to investigate for a period of time, and the villagers would definitely have chosen to raise cattle.

And no matter what is raised, the seedlings are provided by the owner, but they need to be divided among the owners after they grow up.

For example, in raising pigs, only 28 of the 100 households in the village choose to raise pigs.

If the sow they raise gives birth, the owner only needs 20%, and the remaining 80% is theirs.

Moreover, it is the owner's own if they are raised to death.

Therefore, many villagers who only paid labor are willing to raise them.

The farms are very large, and there are always unsuitable fields for sowing. Those fields have been planted with pasture and used to feed pigs, cattle, and sheep. Anyway, the village's harvest has been good in recent years, but it is a little tired.

But they were tired before, and they feel that life is more promising now, especially the children...

They need to work as before, but before they were going to the field to knock mud blocks, and no matter how old you were, you could walk with a wooden hammer to do it.

Now they can herd chickens, sheep, cattle...

It's not hard at all, just follow the buttocks of chickens, sheep and cattle, and don't let them eat the crops. Occasionally mow a little grass and catch some bugs. It's more fun than going to the fields and hammering mud blocks.

Chickens will lay eggs for them to eat when they grow up, and they also have mutton to eat when they kill sheep in winter...

Wei Zhi reached out and touched the boy's head, then nodded with a smile, "Good boy, go and let go of your ass."

The child turned around and ran away, jokingly chasing the chicken with his friends.

Wei Zhi went back in thought all the way, Bai Shan and Zhou Man just got up and were washing.

Wei Zhi couldn't help but smile when he saw the lazy appearance of the two of them, "I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw Lord Zhou's job field, and I wanted to ask Sir Bai, should you also get a job field after the autumn? "

Before Bai Shan was in the Hanlin Academy, the main thing was the salary, and he had not had time to divide the fields. This was the cunning of the Ministry of Households.

Because of the special department of the Hanlin Academy, many future bigwigs are going to transfer in, and it is estimated that they will leave and be transferred to other places after a year or two, so they simply do not divide the job field first, but use the second subsidy method to directly follow the His grades are supplemented by Lumi in the fall, to be used as income for the field.

It's just that Bai Shan's luck is not very good.

He joined the job in the early summer of last year, and according to the convention, the job field is only allocated after the autumn, so he did not receive subsidies that year.

Last year he didn't have a job field, so this year he should get a subsidy, but this year he was promoted to the Zhongshu Province, then he will get a job field after this fall, and he is no longer in the Hanlin Academy, so he won't be able to get the Hanlin Academy's subsidy. This year, he still has no employment income.

Man Bao pondered for a while, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I made a lot more than you."

Bai Shan said: "Our family doesn't rely on salary to eat."

He said humbly: "My family is not short of money."

Man Bao, who was not very wealthy, and Wei Zhi, who was short of money, ignored his words and continued to discuss, "That's right, when the time comes, he will also apply for self-management of his work field, and hand it over to the Ministry of Housing. The harvest is not high, and the income of the tenants Not too high."

Wei Zhi nodded, his job field has been handed over to the household department, and he gets a fixed rent every year.

He can also try to take over and take care of it, but this requires a very careful manager.

The other party must not only be able to manage the tenants, but also be able to farm the land, but also have a just heart, and must be kind, otherwise it is better to hand it over to the Ministry of Household;

But it can't be too kind, or the job field will lose its original meaning.

Of course, Wei Zhi has such people under his command, the old housekeeper of his family.

But if the old housekeeper goes to manage the field, what will happen at home?

Wei Zhi glanced at Zhou Man and began to think about his relatives...

Man Bao was still scolding Wei Zhi, "Master Wei, I think it's better to leave this job field to the officials, and the benefits will be higher."

Wei Zhi shook his head directly and said with a smile, "I've been thinking about this all the way back, but I rejected it with just one thought."

Not only Man Bao, but even Bai Shan couldn't understand, "Why? Isn't our job field management better?"

"Of course it's good, but that's just your family," Wei knew. "There aren't many official families in the world that are as kind and well-behaved as your family. Besides, it's better to believe in the system than trust in people's hearts."

"The system is more credible than the human heart," he said.

On the way back, Wei Zhi was thinking, can this method be promoted in the DPRK and China?

Just a thought and he knew, no!

First, not all officials have the same harmonious family as Zhou Man, the same capable brothers and sisters, or available stewards who can help them manage their fields;

Second, not all officials share the same happiness as Zhou Man and are willing to cede most of their interests to tenants.

Third, and most importantly, people’s hearts can change.

Wei Zhi looked at Zhou Man and Bai Shan quietly, he thought, now they can abide by the regulations of the imperial court, just take care of this job field with due diligence, and return the job field to the imperial court when they leave.

But ten years from now, twenty years from now, or even longer?

When they are accustomed to having this job land, and the tenants here are also used to such an employer, when they leave, will they want to "buy" this job land, or will the tenants here Find a way to get them to buy Shitian?

Dajin owned a lot of public land at the beginning of the founding of the state, but every year it lost a lot of land.

The Ministry of Household always said that the division of labor fields was not enough, and kept urging them to reduce the distribution of labor fields, but where did all the public land go?

Although the number of officials is increasing every year, many officials die or go to work every year. Generally speaking, the number of officials in the officialdom has been in a relatively stable state, with a steady increase, but not much.

The amount of land at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China can fully support the employment fields of officials.

The reason why it is not enough is because the job field has been occupied by people.

There are "malicious" occupations, and there are self-proclaimed "goodwill" occupations.

But no matter which one it is, from the overall point of view, this kind of occupation will bring great harm to the country and the people in the future.

At present, it seems that the "goodwill" occupation is for the benefit of the tenants on this land, but after ten or twenty years, with a new generation of owners, will they be able to continue to be good to them?

If not, how miserable will they be without the supervision of the imperial court?

Therefore, it is impossible for Wei Zhi to vigorously promote this move, but he can change it in a different way.

He can't trust people's hearts, but he believes in the system.

This matter cannot be handed over to individual officials, but it can be handed over to one agency, the Ministry of Households.

Liu Shangshu, who has no fields to plant and no farm leave, has been busy fighting the drought these past few days, and it rarely rains, so he took a break at home to rest, but he couldn't help but sneezed two big sneezes in a row. He gathered up his clothes. , looked at the gloomy sky outside and muttered, "It's a rare rainy day, so I actually caught a cold?"
