Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1634

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

  The young man couldn’t say anything. He said for a long time: “It’s too tired to grow these fields and I can’t get enough to eat.”

He couldn’t tell why, and a few older youths on the side answered him, “It’s not easy to grow the job field. There is an old man’s house in this area, and he only needs to pay 50% of the land. Renter."

  Man Bao asked: "How much fixed rent does the court and you want?"

  "This field of work is pretty good, 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. A field is the harvest of two or three stones, which is considered as 50%. But if the fixed rent is set for both dry land and paddy land, other land for growing beans is not worth it. .

The young man continued: "But Master Fang gave us half of the grain, 100 mu and one cow for us to use, and half of the money for repairs if the farm tools were broken. The yamen didn't give us anything, and the seeds and farm tools had to be their own. I have to give you all the money, every season of the year..."

  Bai Shan and three are particularly curious, "What is a professional grass?"

"I don't even know about the grass? It's the grass your horses eat," the young man said: "Every year you have to spend a lot of working hours just to prepare grass for you. Fortunately, you are not a military officer. For us, we have to give you horse grass even for the New Year."

  Man Bao swallowed, "So there are such things as professional grass?"

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

  White Jiro and Bai Shan turned to look at Man Bao together.

  Man Bao was embarrassed, and whispered: "It has nothing to do with me. I have only begun to take over Shitian now."

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

  The young man ate all the sugar in his hand, and felt that although they were also nobles, they were a little different from the nobles they had met in Yongzhou City, and they were kind, so he took them to his house without caring.

  These houses have only been built for more than ten years, but they look very old, because they are built with grass mixed with yellow mud. The houses are very low. Except for the three houses in the whole village, the other houses are all thatched roofs.

Bai Shan is not particularly tall, but he has to bend down slightly before entering the house. After entering, he found that the room was very dim. Only then did he find that the windows were very small. When the young man saw them looking at the windows, he said, "Oh, the paper is broken. It’s too expensive, and it’s not cold right now, so I didn’t confuse it."

  Man Bao asked, "Why do your windows open so small?"

  "Are you going to open it up? It's so cold in winter, and the heat in the house can't be kept when it's open."

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

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

  Man Bao and Bai Shan both discovered that there are very few chickens and ducks in the village, and they don’t know if they are afraid of being distributed by the court or unable to raise them.

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

  The chief had already learned from his sons that Zhou Man was watching the children in the village. He wanted to stop him, but then he thought that there was nothing in the village that they couldn’t let them know.

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

  Unless they can tell the yamen in the county, let the county magistrate force the field.

  This is the difference between self-management and imperial administration. If it is imperial administration, if the Ministry of Household sends a letter to the county government office, the head of the office will have to sever his leg for this job.

  But if you are an individual, whether the job field can be rented out depends entirely on your own ability.

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

When Old Zhou saw Man Bao, he immediately pulled Man Bao aside, and said in a low voice, "Man Bao, Dad just talked to the manager, but he actually said that everyone is not very happy to rent our field. It's because everyone has already decided to rent a field from a master Fang."

  Lao Zhoutou was a little worried, "I asked Zhuangtou today, there are many people in Yongzhou City, but no one wants to come to farm."

   "It's also really weird. Isn't this field also a field? I think the field is pretty good, 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. I will talk to the chief officer."

"That…"

  "Don’t worry, it’s not so fast. We ride horses and will catch up with you soon, and they are still there."

  Lao Zhoutou then agreed to go back first.

Mr. Zhuang called the three to give a lecture, saying: "As an official, you must be kind to the people, but you must not be too weak. Your strengths are that you are young, thin-skinned and kind-hearted, and your weaknesses are also here. Before the talks, the articles of association should be finalized, and the bottom line should not be changed lightly if it is finalized."

  Mr. Zhuang said meaningfully: "If you lose, you will have gains, otherwise you will lose more than you gain."

  The three of them thought about it.

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

  White Erlang turned his head to look at the two of them, and asked, "What does sir mean?"

  Bai Shandao: "Sir, let us not be too soft-hearted. Don't give up because they have a hard life and there is no bottom line. That will harm others and themselves."

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

  Hakujiro looked suspicious, "Is it, why didn’t I hear it?"

  Bai Shan and Man Bao ignored him. Instead, Qi Qi showed a polite smile and turned to face the inside.

   Watching Lao Zhoutou and their carriage leave, and they were smiling as they were about to send away Zhou Man's trio. The chieftain smiled at the two of them, and couldn't help but shudder.

  Man Baodao: "Leader, why don't we talk to you and the villagers."

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

  "Talk about tenancy."

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

  It’s strange. How could it be possible to set the next home soon after the grain was harvested?

  And those kids have said that the adults are very worried, so they are surrounded by the house and they don’t want to rent farmland anymore.

Man Bao smiled at the door and in the house: "I don't collect fixed rent. As you know, I'm in charge of this job field now, so I don't do the yamen thing anymore. I only need to be in office, how can I grow this land? I can call the shots."

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