Chapter 340: Talking in the Field


Wei Zhongxian scolded: "You are not from the government.

Why do you live in the inn and occupy the upper room?

It seems that King Fu does not control you strictly on weekdays.

Do you want Jin Yiwei to help him take care of it?"

King Fu is now living in fear, fearing that the emperor will find fault with him.

If Wei Zhongxian's words reach his ears, King Fu will personally break Zhang Cuo's leg with a knife and give it to Jin Yiwei without Wei Zhongxian taking action.

Zhang made a mistake and regretted it to his core.

If he had known that he would meet Governor Dongchang Admiral and Bingbi eunuch Wei Zhongxian, he would have crawled out of the dog hole of the inn.

Why can't he get up or get down here?

He shouted: "Mr.

Factory, I did something wrong this time.

I failed King Fu's teachings.

I won't dare to do it again next time.

Please forgive me, Mr.

Factory."

First, we need to take out King Fu and put the The fault is all yourselves.

Wei Zhongxian was not interested in teaching this guy a lesson, so he said: "Get up.

I will spare you this time.

Remember your identity in the future.

Royal servants must strictly demand themselves and not lose the face of their master."

Zhang Cuodao said happily: "The little one must remember the factory father's teachings.

Thank you for the factory father's great kindness.

I will get away immediately and never dare to make the factory father unhappy again."

When Wei Zhongxian noticed that Zhang Wudao had dropped his sword, the postman had already been kneeling aside and trembling.

He thought that he didn't look at the almanac when he went out today, and he unexpectedly met a big shot that he would never dare to think about.

Factory owner, trying to crush yourself to death is like crushing an ant to death, and there is no need to deliberately deal with yourself.

Wei Zhongxian said: "What are you doing kneeling down?

Get up quickly and prepare food for us."

The post official immediately got up and said: "Young man, I will prepare the food immediately.

I will definitely satisfy the nobleman."

When leaving the inn the next day, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "The food you cooked is indeed good.

Let's forget about it this time.

Just pay attention to the rules in the future."

The post official burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed several times to the group of people who were leaving.

After receiving a reward of ten yuan and the factory owner's promise not to pursue the matter of admitting people to move in early, the misfortune that they had seen suddenly turned into a good thing.

Today, my wife will go to the temple to burn incense sticks and thank the gods and Buddhas for their blessings.

Zhu Youxiao and his party walked to the countryside of Changzhou and saw patches of golden rice fields, with farmers busy in the fields.

Zhu Youxiao said: "In the past, it was said that if the food from Jiangnan was cooked, the world would have enough.

Later, if it was cooked in Huguang, the world would have enough.

Now it has become overseas, and the world would have enough.

The position of the land of Suzhou and Changzhou is not that important in agriculture."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, many places are now preparing to convert rice fields into mulberry fields.

The income from one acre of mulberry fields is much higher than that of one acre of rice fields."

As he was talking, he saw a large field in front of him that was planted with rice, but there were many people transporting mulberry seedlings and placing them next to the field.

Zhu Youxiao dismounted and walked forward, saluted an old man and asked: "Old man, are you planning to change the mulberry field?"

When the old man saw a few people wearing extraordinary clothes, he quickly returned the greeting and said, "Yes, the harvest from rice is getting lower and lower now, so the little old man is planning to change the rice field into a mulberry field, so the harvest will be higher.

The rice can be harvested tomorrow.

It will be changed into a mulberry field."

Zhu Youxiao asked: "The harvest from rice cultivation is very low now.

Isn't the court buying it at a protective price?"

The old man smiled and said: "The imperial court does purchase the grain produced in the fields at a protected price, but the protected price is conditional.

There are thirty-two people in Xiao Lao'er's family, with a total of more than 800 acres of fertile land.

One family can have The produce of fifty acres of land can be sold to the court at a protective price.

The rice from the grain depot can only be purchased by merchants or sold to the grain depot at market prices.

The quality of rice from overseas is good and the price is cheap, so the current grain price has dropped, and the government's protective price is much higher than the market price.

It’s a pity that one family can only sell the harvest of fifty acres of land.”

Wei Zhongxian asked deliberately: "There should be some families who don't have that much output.

If you treat your own output as other people's, can't you sell it to the grain depot?"

The old man smiled and said: "It is true that some people have had such thoughts before, but the government is not free rice.

Each family can indeed sell the harvest of fifty acres of land to the grain depot, but the family should have at least sixty acres of paddy fields.

Okay.

If a family only has 30 acres of land, they can only sell the harvest of 20 acres of land at a protected price.

In this way, the food that each family can sell is almost the excess after harvesting.

How can they communicate with other families and pretend to be Woolen cloth" When the protective price of grain was established, Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to purchase all grain at the protective price.

However, he was unanimously opposed by the cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture.

The reason of the officials at that time was that the people below would definitely find ways to take advantage of the loopholes.

In the end, Making some people fat will harm the interests of the country.

It seems now that I still thought too simply back then, and I am not as well aware of the pros and cons as these people.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Then why not separate the families?

With thirty-two people, if we divide them into three or five families, we can sell more.

And if we divide them into seven or eight families, after excluding the rations, all the food should be sold for protection."

Price."

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Don't tell me, my second son and third son have long been clamoring to split up the family.

It's just that if one share of the family property is divided, it will be weak.

In the future, the family will only have a few hundred acres of land.

How can we become a Zhongdingyushi home?”

Zhu Youxiao said: "But the taxes collected on mulberry fields are different from those on grain fields.

They are based on commercial taxes, which are much higher than agricultural taxes.

If taxes are included, is mulberry fields really cost-effective?"

The old man said: "I did some calculations.

If you include the taxes and the expenses for improving the land, within five years, the two will be roughly the same.

After five years, the annual income will be 10% more than that from the grain fields."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Old man, I am young and ill-informed.

Listen to what you are saying nonsense and see if it makes sense.

According to what you said, within five years, the harvest of grain and mulberry will be equivalent.

After five years, the harvest will be the same."

There are 10% more sang, but there are two things that I don’t know if my father-in-law is included in it: one is if.

In a disaster year, in addition to distributing rations, the court also subsidizes grain fields, up to 50% of the grain harvest.

However, mulberry fields are not included in this, so if there is an unfortunate disaster, the grain fields can at least generate income.

It has reached 50% of the original value, while the mulberry field has completely lost its harvest.”

The old man didn't take this young man with much beard seriously at first, but now that he heard what he said, he put aside his contempt and listened carefully to what he said.

Zhu Youxiao continued: "The two are that there are many differences between mulberry fields and grain fields.

There is a big difference in terms of manpower and tools.

Moreover, people who are used to growing grain fields will take over the mulberry fields for a while.

You can't immediately receive as much as other experienced hands.

And you have to hire people when you are busy.

This is also a different situation from planting grain fields.

Those who have just started to plant mulberry fields may not be very clear about the meaning.

In my opinion, the income is not worth it.”

The old man slapped his thigh and said: "My husband made it very clear.

The little old man really thought wrong.

He always thought about the good in everything.

He only thought about getting more harvests, but he didn't expect that there might be more.

Trouble, I am a scholar after all, so what I said is very clear
