Chapter 1634

Even if he was ready, man Bao still choked, a little sad, "why?"

The boy couldn't say it for a long time. "It's too tired to plant these fields and don't have enough to eat."

He couldn't tell why. Several older young people on one side answered on his behalf, "the job field is not easy to grow. There is a master Fang's house out of this area, and only 50% of the rent is paid for renting his land."

Man Bao asked, "how much do the imperial court and you want?"

"This piece of land is not bad, so they all set six Dou of rice and five Dou of noodles."

Six bushels of rice is nearly two bushels of grain with one stone. The harvest of one field, that is, two or three stones, is 50%, but if the fixed rent is set for both dry land and paddy fields, the land for other kinds of beans is not worth it.

The young man continued: "master Fang of Keren's family gives us half of the grain seeds, and gives us a cow for 100 mu. If the farm tools are broken, he also gives us half of the money to repair them. The Yamen doesn't give us anything. The seeds and farm tools have to pay all their own money, and he has to give you grass every season of the year..."

Bai Shan was very curious, "what is the professional grass?"

"Don't even know the job? It's the grass that your horses eat, "said the young man." it takes a lot of working hours to prepare grass for you every year. Fortunately, you're not a military officer. Otherwise, there are more horses at home, and all the use is piled on us. We have to get horse grass for you even for the new year. "

Man Bao swallowed his saliva. "There's something like professional grass?"

"That's not true. There are too many things. Sometimes adults will come down and see that we have raised chickens and ducks. They also have to divide eggs and ducks and some chickens and ducks. They say that these chickens and ducks are also raised on the job field."

Bai Erlang and Bai Shan turned their heads and looked at man Bao.

Man Bao was so ashamed that he whispered, "it has nothing to do with me. I'm only taking over Shitian now."

Bai Shan asked the young man, "where is your house? Can we go to your house?"

The young man ate all the sugar in his hand. He felt that although they were also noble people, they were somewhat different from the noble people they had met in Yongzhou City. They were very kind, so he took them to his house without care.

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 three in the whole village, other people have thatched roofs.

Bai Shan was not very tall, but he had to bend down slightly before entering the house. When he went in, he found that the room was very dark. Then he found that the window was very small. When the young man saw them looking at the window, he said, "Oh, the window paper is broken. It's too expensive. It's not cold at the moment, so he didn't paste it."

Man Bao asked, "Why are your windows so small?"

"Is it still going big? It's so cold in winter that the heat in the room can't be kept when it's turned up. "

The three could only accept this statement, nodded and turned out.

Man Bao simply finds all the children who come to join the fun and starts to visit the past family by family.

Man Bao and Bai Shan both found that there are very few chickens and ducks in the village. They don't know whether they can't afford to be divided by the imperial court.

Several people walked around the village. When they returned to the mayor's house, the adults had finished talking. There was a sunset in the sky. It was obvious that the sun was about to set.

The chief had learned from his sons that Zhou man was watching around with the children in the village. He wanted to stop it, but then he thought that there was nothing in the village that they couldn't know.

The villagers just don't want to rent their fields. What can they do?

Unless they can persuade the Yamen of the county to force the county magistrate to spread the land.

This is the difference between self-management and imperial court management. If the imperial court manages, the Department of household will send a letter to the county government, and the chief of the Department will have to break his leg for this job.

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

Anyway, the job field has been handed over to you, and you are responsible for your own profits and losses.

When Lao Zhou saw man Bao, he immediately came forward to pull man Bao aside and whispered, "man Bao, dad just talked to the chief, but he actually said that everyone was not happy to rent our field. He said that everyone had decided to rent a master Fang's field."

Old Zhou tou was worried, "I asked Zhuangtou today. There are many people in Yongzhou City, but no one is willing to plant a job field."

"It's really strange. Isn't this job field also a field? I think the land is very good. Why don't you want to plant it? "

Man Bao said, "Dad, leave it to me. It's getting late now. You and your mother get on the bus and go back first. I'll talk to the chief."

"Then..."

"Don't worry, it's not so fast after dark. We'll catch up with you soon by riding a horse, and there are big guitars."

Lao Zhou agreed to go back first.

Mr. Zhuang called three people to give a speech and said, "as an official, you should be kind to the people, but you should not be too weak. Your strengths are young, thin skinned and kind-hearted. Your weaknesses also lie in this. Set the articles of association before talking. If it is set, the bottom line should not be changed easily."

Mr. Zhuang said meaningfully, "if you lose something, you must gain something, otherwise the gain will not be worth the loss."

The three thought.

Then Mr. Zhuang and old Zhou tou left by car together.

Bai Erlang turned to look at them and asked, "what does Sir mean?"

Bai Shan said, "Sir, let's not be too soft hearted. Don't give in because they live a hard life without a bottom line. That will harm others and ourselves."

Man Bao said, "Sir, if I give them the profits, they have to pay the corresponding price or responsibility. Only in this way can they lose and gain."

Bai Erlang looked suspicious, "really, why didn't I hear it?"

Bai Shan and man Bao ignored him, but Qi Qi showed a polite smile and turned back to the manager.

Seeing old Zhou tou's carriage leave, the chief of the three people who were smiling to see Zhou man off shivered at their smiles.

Man Bao said, "Li Chang, why don't we talk to you and the villagers."

Li was stunned and asked, "what are you talking about?"

"Talk about tenancy."

Li Chang's face was slightly stiff, and he said with a stiff smile, "Lord Zhou, this tenancy has to be voluntary, not because you're late. They've already settled the land of the landlord's house."

That's strange. How could we settle down soon after the grain was collected?

And the children said that the adults were very worried, so they gathered outside the Lichang house. They didn't want to rent a job field.

Man Bao smiled at the door and said, "I don't accept the fixed rent. You know, I'm in charge of this job field now, so I don't do the Yamen business. As long as I'm in office, I can decide how to grow this land."

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