I have a backstage in Datang

Chapter 258 [The ancients who can make themselves foolish when settling accounts]

I have a backstage in Datang Chapter 258 of the main text volume [The ancients who can count themselves as stupid when settling accounts] "Renting land? Growing vegetables?"

"What's the way?"

Hu Yun was in a daze, his face full of puzzlement.

But Gu Tianya patted his forehead with a smile, and asked in a persuasive manner: "Is it okay to rent land? Who stipulates that ordinary people must go to open up wasteland by themselves if they want to cultivate land?"

"You stipulated..."

The little guy almost blurted out, and then began to count the various rules with his fingers, and because he has studied the rules of the Nether Cloud Land deeply, so once he opened the chatterbox, he couldn't stop it, and said endlessly: "Since the apprentice came After arriving here, I will first read through all the decrees you promulgated. For example, there is one of your decrees. If people want to farm land, they can open up wasteland by themselves. The Land of Nether Clouds has five states, and there are needs everywhere. The tax you set for the reclaimed land is very low. People only need to pay one-third of the land for every one and a half mu of land reclaimed. , if ordinary people want to farm, they have to open up wasteland by themselves..."

"Is it?"

Gu Tianya smiled, and suddenly asked with deep meaning: "If you read the decree just now carefully, do ordinary people really have to open up wasteland by themselves if they want to cultivate land?"

Hu Yun was confused and couldn't help recalling the decree he had just recited.It's a pity that no matter how he recalled, he still didn't find anything abnormal in the decree.

The little guy blushed from anxiety.

Fortunately, Li Jiancheng couldn't stand it any longer, and suddenly reminded him from the sidelines: "When your master formulated certain laws and regulations, he deliberately avoided words of a strict nature, such as 'If the people want to farm land, they can open up wasteland by themselves', The word "may" is worth pondering. According to common sense, the law must be strict, so the word "must" should be used instead of the word "may" you just recited, little guy, now you can figure it out Is there a loophole?"

you can!

must!

These are two completely different words.

Hu Yun was stunned for a while, then suddenly let out a 'wow', and said with surprise on his face: "It is said in the decree that it is possible, but it is not said to be necessary, which means that people don't have to go to farm if they want to farm. Open up wasteland by yourself, but allow them to obtain land through any other means, for example, the rent that Master just mentioned..."

Gu Tianya laughed, and said in a leisurely tone: "Master, when he first formulated the decree, he had already planted a lot of foreshadowing in advance. For example, the common people are not prohibited from renting land. This is one of the hidden things, but why did I formulate this one?" What about the rules? Little guy, you might as well try to guess it, as it is the teacher's first assessment of you, I hope you can guess the exact answer."

"Why is there such a rule?"

Hu Yun fell into deep thought.

After a long time, this little guy seemed to have realized something in his heart. He raised his head subconsciously, his eyes gleaming with enlightenment, and said: "Master's cloudy land is very large, and the people keep migrating here. When people come over, they will basically choose to open up wasteland, and after the people open up wasteland, they will pay taxes according to the regulations of one-third of an acre and a half of land..."

"This tax is not high at all for the common people, because the payment of one-third of the land can be regarded as the lightest tax in the world, but for you, Master, the amount of land harvested is extremely huge."

"For every acre and a half of land reclaimed by the common people, they will hand over a third of the land to you. However, the people of our Han family are the people who are most willing to work hard. No family will be satisfied with only one and a half acres of land reclaimed, so as long as they still If they have the strength to move, they won't stop farming wasteland."

"A family of seven is counted as one household in the Tang Dynasty. Let's take this family as an example. How much land will they reclaim after they come to Youzhou? Ten acres? One hundred acres? Tu'er thinks it's far more than that, this family needs to reclaim at least a few hundred acres..."

"Teacher chooses a compromise number for the time being, and only calculates based on a family reclaiming [-] mu of land. Then how much land will they turn over to Master?"

Since the little guy has just been apprenticed to a teacher, he has not learned mathematical equations from Gu Tianya at this time, so he can only use the most primitive method to calculate bit by bit by increasing the numbers.

Seeing the little guy wrestling his fingers and starting to calculate, Rory said in a wordy voice: "One and a half mus of land is handed over to three-point land, fifteen mus is three mus, 150 mus is thirty mus, 450 mus is ninety mus, If it's five hundred acres, if it's five hundred acres..."

Seeing that he was obviously held back, Gu Tianya taught him with a suppressed smile, "You have already calculated the 450 mu of land to be handed over, so why don't you calculate the last [-] mu separately?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Yun looked at him pitifully, and said with a helpless expression: "I just calculated the last fifty acres separately, but I can't calculate how much should be handed over for a while."

This is the defect of the ancients. There are no mathematical formulas in this era.

Gu Tianya laughed and continued to remind him: "You just calculated that 150 mu needs to be handed over to 150 mu, so will the ratio of [-] mu to [-] mu be counted?"

Hu Yun was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed subconsciously: "Yes, yes, I can use 150 mu and 150 mu as a comparison. 30 mu needs to be handed over to 50 mu, so wouldn't the 10 mu to be handed over be 450 mu. In this way, the handover share of the entire 90 mu of land is calculated... 10 mu of the first 100 mu of land, and 100 mu of the last [-] mu of land, add up to a total of [-] mu of land. I need to hand over [-] mu of land to you."

Gu Tianya laughed again, and said helplessly: "Actually, one and a half acres of land can be counted as 15 points of land, and the people's share is 3 points of land. This ratio is originally 5 to 1. It will not be changed, but look at your calculation method just now, you have said so much, in fact, you only need to remember to take one out of five, then it is not difficult to calculate the number of acres no matter how large it is."

Hu Yun's eyes were full of longing, and he murmured: "Is this the master's knowledge? It really opened my eyes."

Gu Tianya laughed out loud, and kindly encouraged him: "The quantity has been calculated, let's continue with the topic you wanted to talk about just now."

……

The little guy quickly looked serious, and said in a crisp voice: "A family reclaims [-] acres, and it needs to turn over [-] acres to the master. This is just one family, so what about ten families? How about a hundred families, what about a thousand families? With the continuous development of the Land of Nether Clouds, more and more people will definitely come here, and with their continuous influx, more and more land will be reclaimed, which means that the land owned by Master is getting more and more More and more..."

"but!"

The young man suddenly corrected his tone, looked at Gu Tianya and said, "Master, you can't plant so much land by yourself."

Gu Tianya nodded his head to express his approval, and continued to encourage him: "Not only can I plant so much land myself, Master, I can't plant it even if you add a few of your mistresses, and even count all the retainers and servants of the entire Gu family. We also can’t plant so much land.”

"So these lands cannot be wasted, they must be cultivated by someone."

The little guy followed the interface, his voice gradually became more confident, and he said: "And this is why the master deliberately left a foreshadowing when the decree was first enacted. Rented it out to the people."

Gu Tianya laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and sighed that the little guy had lost his mind, and said jokingly: "Listen to your ramblings for a long time, and finally explained the problem clearly. That's fine, let the rest be my teacher." Come on, teaching apprentices is a step-by-step thing, I don't expect you to catch up with the others overnight, now listen carefully, I will teach you how to develop your group..."

Hu Yun hurriedly waited seriously.

Gu Tianya coughed lightly, cleared his mind and opened his mouth slowly, saying: "Among your group, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the wasteland in Youyun Zhuzhou needs hard work to reclaim it into fertile land, so your group has no It is impossible to mobilize the people to open up wasteland like other groups.”

"The inability to open up wasteland is not a problem, because you already know that land can be leased. It is difficult to reclaim wasteland into good land, but it is not difficult to rent a mature good land for planting. Especially for you to give you a special plan, I am not going to let Instead of your group growing crops, you’re growing vegetables, which will take less effort than growing crops.”

"Growing vegetables is different from growing food. Growing vegetables doesn't require as much hard work as farming. In addition, there are cattle in the official office of the teacher who can be hired, which can ensure that the people in your group can grow vegetables."

"Maybe you are wondering, why would you let your group grow vegetables as a teacher? Let me tell you, my dear student, this is a good way to get rich. Everyone wants food, so the common people came to After Youzhou, when the land is reclaimed, food must be planted first. Because there is an old saying in ancient times, there is food in the house and there is no panic, but many people ignore a problem, vegetables are also indispensable food. "

"Not long ago, there was a statistic in the official office of the teacher. As of the beginning of this month, the number of people who have arrived in the land of Youyun has reached 5000 households. Since they all came from famine, their households are larger than those of Tang officials. It is less than seven people per household, about five people per household, but even this has reached nearly [-] people."

"These more than 5000 people have reclaimed nearly 30 mu of wasteland in just three to four months. With the arrival of spring next year, there will be an explosive wave of land reclamation after the ice and snow melt. How many people will there be? What about fertile land? As a teacher, it is estimated that at least one million acres will be needed."

"A million acres of land?"

The little guy's mouth slanted and his eyes slanted, obviously stunned by this number.

The other people in the room also looked confused, even Ma Sanbao who had just returned from digging the snow was stunned.

……

...The 1st update arrives, followed by the 2nd update

Chapter 259 [It turns out that this is my master, the subtleties are profound]

I have a backstage in Datang Chapter 259 of the main text volume [So this is my master, the subtleties are profound] "Close your little mouth, don't act like you haven't seen the world like this. Million acres of land Not too much, because Youyun Wuzhou has one billion mu of wasteland. If you add Yunzhou in the northwest and Tanzhou in Hebei, this number can even reach 15 billion mu, so a million mu of land is not a big deal. , it is too far from the wealth we can have in the future.”

"However, for the time being, we must first pay attention to this one million mu of land."

"Master, I just said that the people of the Han family like to grow grain. Then you can imagine what it would be like to grow more than 100 million acres of grain..."

Hu Yun's mouth that had just been closed opened again.

Gu Tianya said with a faint smile: "More than 100 million mu of grain is enough to feed many people. At that time, there was no shortage of pancakes, and every family in Jiaoer was willing to eat a few meals. When hunger is no longer the biggest Many people will find new problems, what is it? Vegetables!"

"Because everyone is growing food, few people grow vegetables at the beginning. At this time, your team suddenly sells vegetables on the street. Think about what kind of hot scene it will be..."

"This is the first development path planned by the teacher for your group."

……

The little guy was stunned.

After a long while, I woke up from my longing, subconsciously said: "This is the first way? Could there be other ways?"

Gu Tianya smiled leisurely, and said lightly: "Yes!"

Ma Sanbao put the iron pot full of snow on the stove, winked at the little guy at the right time, and said with a smirk: "Your master has committed the problem of being a good teacher again, don't let him talk dry mouth."

After all, Hu Yun is a smart little guy, he immediately understood Ma Sanbao's meaning when he heard the words, the little guy quickly stood up from the stool, and hurriedly said: "Master, please wait for a while, I will find someone to borrow some tea." Come."

As he said that, he let go of his feet and was about to run outside.

Gu Tianya stretched out his hand to bring him back.

Then, he glared at Ma Sanbao first, and said angrily, "It's snowing like a knife outside, where do you want this kid to get tea?"

Ma Sanbao burst into a big smile, winked and said: "I didn't expect this kid to be so stupid."

"Are you stupid?"

Gu Tianya stared at him even more fiercely.

Ma Sanbao hecked twice, squatting next to the stove and tending the fire.

Gu Tianya then turned his head and said to the little guy, "You don't need to get tea, just drink some plain water for the teacher."

Hu Yun hurriedly said: "That disciple will bring you a cup to refill."

Gu Tianya smiled gratifiedly, nodded and said: "This is possible, this is what you should do. Although the teacher does not pay much attention to the rules of the sect, I am happy to see the success of the disciples who want to practice rituals. Since ancient times, respect for teachers is important. Dao, it’s not a bad thing if you are willing to do this…”

Hu Yun nodded vigorously, and stared at the iron pot on the stove. The little guy wanted to wait for the water to boil before picking up the iron pot, and then wait for Gu Tianya to drink some water to moisten his throat.

Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Gu Tianya felt even more satisfied with this newly recruited apprentice, but he didn't show it on his face, but continued to speak: "When it comes to drinking hot water, it's just for the teacher The second route planned for you is very similar, so let’s take boiling water as the topic, let’s continue to talk about it..."

The little guy was obviously stunned, and subconsciously said: "Can boiling water also develop my group?"

Gu Tianya laughed, stretched out his hand and flicked the little guy's head, and said, "Why not? It's completely possible! Many things in the world have their meaning, the key depends on whether you can think about it carefully. Let me ask you, what is the current situation?" What time is it?"

Hu Yun hesitated for a moment, then cautiously replied: "Nine cold?"

"That's right, the number nine is severe cold!"

Gu Tianya breathed out lightly, and said leisurely: "In this season, it is not an exaggeration to say that a drop of water turns into ice. But have you noticed, my son, that there are still people reclaiming wasteland in this season."

Hu Yun nodded quickly, and hurriedly said: "Not only are there people opening up wasteland, but there are also a huge number of people. Master, you may not know that our teams are all secretly competing, whether it is the team leader or the team members, all of them are full of energy. Work hard. Although it's freezing cold, there are teams of land reclamation everywhere. It's a pity that my team can only watch enviously, because my team is full of people who can't do hard work."

"If you can't do hard work, then do soft work. If you can't open up wasteland, then do service. Since there are so many people working against the wind and cold to open up wasteland, isn't this a good opportunity for you and your team?"

"good chance?"

The little guy was obviously lost again.

At this moment, the kettle was beeping, and the hot water was obviously boiled. The little guy didn't have time to continue thinking, so he quickly picked up the iron kettle from the stove, found a cup, and poured water for Gu Tianya respectfully.

Gu Tianya pointed at Li Jiancheng, and said in a deep voice, "Pour a cup for my elder brother first, and let him drink some water to keep him warm."

Li Jiancheng smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, don't make the little guy too busy."

Although he said so, how dare Hu Yun really listen like this, the little guy hurriedly found another cup, and poured Li Jiancheng a cup respectfully.

Li Jiancheng still smiled warmly, picked up the cup and took a little inhalation, then let out a mouthful of breath, and said pointedly: "It's freezing cold, drinking a cup of hot water really warms you up, little guy Hu Yun, your master It seems to have been talking about drinking boiled water. Hurry up and let him continue talking, this is a way for your group to make money."

Hu Yun looked at Gu Tianya anxiously, and called out in a low voice, "Master!"

Gu Tianya chuckled, and said: "When I mentioned service just now, delivering boiled water can be regarded as a kind of service. Think about it, my son. It's freezing cold now. When the strong men and laborers of other teams brave the wind and snow to open up wasteland, Why don't you take the old and the weak in your own group to boil a large pot of hot water at home, put it in a crock, wrap the outside of the crock with a warm cloth, and then lead the team members to choose Running to the fields with crocks filled with hot water..."

"It's okay to sell a crock of hot water for a few pennies at a low price, right? And those teams who work in the wind and snow only need to pay a few pennies to drink hot water. Both parties get what they need, isn't it happy? "

"Also, meals. It's freezing cold, and the pancakes will be cold in no time. At noon, those people must eat after work, right?"

The little guy nodded quickly, and hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Gu Tianya smiled, and said again: "But most people don't go home to eat, but make a meal in the fields. As a teacher, I once asked people to investigate and found that many people squatted on the ground to eat pancakes. The pancakes are frozen. It’s so hard, if you’re really hungry, you definitely don’t want to eat it. At this time, if you take the team members to pick up a small stove one by one, go to the place where they eat to deliver services, such as helping them to bake the pancakes with fire Soft, like warming a pot of porridge filled with salt in a small iron pot..."

Hu Yun almost blurted out, and said pleasantly: "In this way, many people will be willing to pay, and my team members will definitely make money."

Gu Tianya smiled happily, and asked him: "Now, do you feel that doing services is also a way out?"

The little guy's face was full of excitement.

He couldn't bear the urge to do these things anymore.

On the contrary, the middle-aged men from the Jingyang Hu family in the room were very cautious. Suddenly, someone raised a question cautiously, and said softly: "The reason why the common people came here was because they couldn't survive in their hometown. And it is precisely because of this. , so these people are very frugal..."

The man paused for a while, then carefully observed Gu Tianya's face, and then said: "As far as I know, those people are not willing to spend money casually. Although they braved the wind and snow to open up wasteland, but after eating Sometimes I gritted my teeth and gnawed on the pancakes. Drinking water was also sent to the work place by the women and children at home, so, then..."

The implication is self-explanatory, but it means that these things are done by people, so even if Hu Yun really takes the team members to do the service, he may not really be able to make as much money as he imagined.

After all, ordinary people save as much as they can.

They don't want to waste money unless they have to.

Someone from Gu Tianya smiled, and said lightly: "When a thing is done extremely professionally, others will find that it is most suitable for professional people to do it. For example, when you talk about delivering water and food, are those women and children going to delay my work?" time?"

The person who spoke just now was lost in thought.

Gu Tianya continued: "The biggest advantage of doing services is professionalism. For example, in the matter of boiling water and delivering boiled water, my apprentice's team specializes in this business. So whether it's boiling water in large quantities, or Carrying thermal insulation crockpots to the fields, because it is a business industry, so it will be more considerate than ordinary people. Who would specially carry a stove to the fields? Just to give a meal to the man who opened up wasteland Is the meal worth it? In the freezing cold season, can the boiled water they send be guaranteed to be hot after delivery?"

"Take a step back, even if they can do this, but the energy they put in and the value they gain are not equal."

"For example, women don't go to the fields to deliver food and water, so they can save time and weave a little more cloth at home. For example, this cloth can be sold for five yuan, while her man only needs to buy hot water outside. Two renminbi, even if we add pancakes baked in the stove and hot porridge, it costs at most three renminbi, but men can eat hot food, which is much better than the cold food that women send to the ground. At this time, the common people How will they choose? I think as long as it is an individual, it will make the right choice, right?"

"And for such a job, it is impossible for a family to provide this kind of business service alone. Why? Because the income is too little. The service of heating pancakes and porridge with hot water for a meal, after deducting the cost Maybe you can't earn a penny. However, it will take a lot of time, and many people just don't want to delay this time. For example, as I said just now, women can knit more cloth and earn more if they have this time..."

"But for my apprentice's team, his team members are doing this business, facing a huge customer base, even if each customer can't earn a penny, it's okay. Since ancient times, there has been a phenomenon of small profits but quick turnover. Words, presumably you should understand the truth."

After a few words, everyone at the scene froze on the spot.
