Datang Live Room

"What do you think the new county magistrate wants us to do in the county?"

"Then who knows? Anyway, I'll go if the county master calls me, and I can also see if I can borrow some more food."

Outside Kuoding County, residents of Kuoding County dressed in rags in twos and threes were walking towards the county town.

"I heard that the new county magistrate is just a doll?"

"I've heard about it too. Isn't this nonsense? The original county magistrate was a wooden Bodhisattva who did nothing in the county government. Now it's better. Just get a baby. Is it possible that he wants us to play house with him? "

"Hey, if the situation is not good this year, I will have to go to Luoyang to make a living."

"Who would want to leave home if they can survive?"

"I heard from my uncle who lives in the county seat, how generous is this county magistrate?"

"Oh? What do you say?"

"I heard that since he came, he has been building county offices and mansions in the county town. Those who go to help every day are not only responsible for two meals, but they are also given two copper coins!"

"Really? Then ask us to go there today. Is there some work for us to do?"

"How is it possible? I heard that he called all the people in the county to do the work. Can't he call on all the people in the county to do the work?"

There were only a few hundred households in the county, and each household represented only a few hundred people, and they soon gathered at the entrance of the county.

Yan Kai directly placed a table here. When he saw that everyone was here, he took an iron trumpet made by a craftsman at home and climbed up.

There is no other way. If you don't stand up, the people behind you won't even be able to see their shadows.

"Dear folks, I am Yan Kai, the new county magistrate."

Yan Kai introduced himself, and everything was quiet.

Of course, he didn't expect these people to applaud him, so he just continued:

"I called you here today mainly because I want to announce two things to you."

"I plan to divide the fields among everyone and rent them all."

As soon as Yan Kai finished speaking, the people below were all stunned.

Did I hear it wrong, or did the baby magistrate say it wrong?

He said he wanted to rent out everyone's land?

Yan Kai knew that everyone would react like this, and then said: "You heard me right, I plan to rent your Koufentian...",

"Master County, you have rented our Koufen farm, what will we eat?" A man standing at the front asked unconvinced.

"Yeah, what would we eat without fields?"

Others also talked about it.

Yan Kai smiled and said, "What if I rent it with grain?"

"Huh? Rent with food?"

"What do you mean?"

During the Northern Dynasties, only Yongye fields could be bought and sold, but by the Tang Dynasty, in some cases, Koufentian could also be sold.

There are not so many restrictions when it comes to renting.

Yan Kai waved and told everyone to be calm and said loudly: "I will rent all your land and I will pay you for the food. Then I will plant crops on it. Of course I will hire you to plant it and then pay you for the food." .”

"We will do it for one year. As long as everyone is willing, I guarantee that at least this winter, no one in Kuoding County will starve to death or freeze to death."

This approach has never been done before, so the people below were a little at a loss.

Food is the most important thing for the people, but if there is no land, where can they find food?

Thinking of renting land to Yan Kai, these people didn't know what to do.

Yan Kai can't force them to do this kind of thing, he can only wait.

"Okay, I promise to rent my family's land to the county magistrate."

At this time an old man stood up.

"It's Lao Suntou."

This county is just that big, and everyone is basically a familiar face.

No one expected that Lao Suntou would be the first to stand up.

Old Suntou turned around and said: "The old man was helping the county magistrate at the county office the past two days. As you know, I can't do much work at my old age, but the county magistrate still gave me two meals a day. Two copper plates."

"It happened that my grandson fell ill with frostbite, and the county magistrate even sent someone to see a doctor for my grandson."

As he said this, he pulled over a shy child and said, "Look, it will be fine in two days."

"I only have one hundred acres of land at home, and we, the old couple, can't do anything with such a grandson, so I am willing to rent all my land to the county magistrate."

When he said this, many people were moved.

Yes, some families have two or three men, and they can’t even cultivate the two to three hundred acres of land by themselves.

The county magistrate didn't say that he must rent them all. He could grow some himself and rent some to him. This would be a guarantee after all!

What's more, the county magistrate also said that the lease would only be for one year.

If it doesn't work, the worst possible outcome is not renting it next year.

After understanding this, many people began to speak out, saying that they could rent some land to Yan Kai.

Yan Kai breathed a sigh of relief. With this hole open, the rest of the matter would be much easier to handle.

Ask Zheng Zhixun to start counting how much land each family is willing to rent, and then make arrangements to rent it in the same place as possible.

In addition, the cost of renting land and the wages for work were also explained clearly to them.

These people basically didn't know how to count. After Zheng Zhixun sorted things out for them, they discovered that if they really rented all the land to Yan Kai, Yan Kai would have to pay the tax on the 80 acres of land.

When he went back to work in the fields, he finally got more food than he had after working hard for a year and paying taxes.

Now everyone is more enthusiastic, and many people are even willing to rent all their land to the county.

According to the final statistics, several households did not arrive due to various reasons, and the remaining people rented a total of nearly 7 acres of land to the county.

Including the public land that already existed in the county, Yan Kai had a total of [-] acres of land in his hands.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would also become a boy farming!"

Yan Kai smiled bitterly.

Even though there are agricultural machinery in the variety show, 10 people have planted 140 acres of land, but Yan Kai's 7 acres of land is too much.

In fact, it’s not the same thing at all. Nowadays, agriculture has long been precision farming.

In the Tang Dynasty, one person relied on manpower to plant dozens of acres of land. It was impossible to be precise. Instead, the seeds were sprinkled directly and the most he could do was water and weed.

The rest mostly depends on the weather.

Yan Kai took the land into his own hands, not only to facilitate centralized management, but also to gradually change their planting habits.

China is a major agricultural country, and agricultural planting skills have been evolving for thousands of years.

As long as Yan Kai can copy the planting skills from the period before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when there was no mechanization, to Datang, he believes that he can greatly increase the yield per mu of cultivated land.

As for the live broadcast, he plans to directly create "Farming, Farmer".

This is also inspired by that variety show. Nowadays, urbanization is serious, and many people have never seen farming, but they become curious.

He plans to set up a live broadcast challenge, which is to use this primitive method of farming to challenge the yield per mu.

By then, there should be many people watching in the live broadcast room.

Moreover, there are often big bosses coming and going in the live broadcast room. Maybe one of them will show up at any time and he can point out their current shortcomings in farming.

When the time comes, my main focus is to listen to the advice and do whatever the big guys say. It can not only bring about program effects, but also increase the yield per acre, a win-win situation!
