Jia Zhengjing has one head and two heads.
I have known for a long time that Brother Chao likes to ask his subordinates questions. Today is finally my turn. I really don’t know how to answer!
However, even if it’s not easy to answer, you have to answer it.
As Yun Chao became more and more powerful and his status became higher and higher, even elders like Jia Zhengjing felt their calves twist when they saw him.
Yun Chao killed too many people.
Whether he killed himself or his subordinates, once he killed too many people, he would have a special aura that ordinary people couldn't handle.
No matter how polite Yun Chao was, Jia Zhengjing and the others did not dare to make a mistake in front of Yun Chao.
Therefore, when faced with Yun Chao's question, Jia Zhengjing did not dare to be careful at all, and answered honestly: "Brother Chao, I think it's better to rent it out. You are too busy. If you hire long-term workers, you won't be able to do anything." Time is watching them every day..."
Having said this, Jia Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Besides, you are too good to your subordinates. If you hire long-term workers and eat so well every day, maybe by the end of the year, when the accounts are settled, the harvested grain will not be enough to eat." …”
Yun Chao smiled, Jia Zhengzheng was telling the truth.
Of course Yun Chao knew the disadvantages of big pot rice, and he also knew that Jia Zhengzheng was right.
The productivity of the Dawu Dynasty was backward. If the current food standards for the helpers were followed and the long-term workers in the fields were allowed to work hard, it would be difficult to be directly proportional to the rewards. Let alone making money from farming, it would be good not to lose money.
The reason why Yunchao now provides so good food to helpers is mainly because of the different natures of helpers and permanent workers.
Long-term workers work all year round, whether it's windy or rainy, whether they work or not, they have to take care of food and shelter.
Helpers are different. They will be hired only when there is work. If there is no work, there is no need to hire helpers. Naturally, there is no need to take care of food around the clock.
Moreover, when hiring helpers, they usually do heavy work, heavier than the migrant workers of later generations.
The work of long-term workers is much lighter. Except during busy farming periods, general work is relatively light.
Moreover, hiring long-term workers has to keep an eye on them, and Yun Chao doesn't have that time.
Never think that all poor people are good people, and good people do not distinguish between rich and poor.
Even if they are provided with good food and drink, some people will still be lazy or even steal as long as they have the opportunity.
Therefore, Yunchao does not plan to hire long-term workers to farm his own land.
As for distributing fields to the common people for free, like some senior time travellers, so that they can live a carefree and shameless life from now on, Yun Chao would never do that.
Everyone has no worries, so why should they work with you?
Born in sorrow and dying in happiness, once many people live a happy life, they don’t want to thank the people who carry the burden for them. Instead, when something happens, they let the people who carry the burden bear in front of them and hide behind. Enjoy.
As Yun Chao said, Wolong Village is Wolong Village for people from Wolong Village, Sanshui Town is Sanshui Town for people from Sanshui Town, Qingyang County is Qingyang County for people from Qingyang County, and people from Dawu Dynasty are also from Dawu Dynasty. of the Great Wu Dynasty.
He can live his own life and fill his own stomach. Yun Chao will only bring people who are willing to work with him. Those who want to sit back and enjoy the benefits should just stay where they are!
Yun Chao patted Jia Zhengjing and expressed encouragement for his work.
Then, Yun Chao said to Xiao Yuzhu who was making tea: "Little girl, write a notice for me and say that I will rent out the land and collect the land rent twice a year. The land rent is three dou per mu..."
That's right, Yun Chao is finally ready to become a big landlord.
There is no way, if he is not the landlord, can he still give it to the court?
There were official lands in the Dawu Dynasty, but those official lands basically fell into the hands of corrupt officials. Not only did the court gain nothing, but it also lost its reputation.
Those guys who occupied the official land would blame the government whenever something bad happened. They reaped the benefits themselves, but made the government suffer the infamy.
As a landlord, compared to other landlords in the Great Wu Dynasty, Yun Chao's conditions were not generally generous.
Farm rent was paid twice per acre per year, and each time was only three bushels.
Wheat is delivered during the summer harvest, and corn or sorghum is delivered during the autumn harvest.
This is a mature field. If it is a field that has just been reclaimed, no rent will be paid in the first year. In the second year, you will pay one dou each for summer harvest and autumn harvest. In the third year, you will pay two dou each. In the fourth year, it will be the same as ordinary mature land, and you will need to pay three dou. Fight.
In the Dawu Dynasty, the harvest from an ordinary acre of land per season was about one stone. If the weather was good, it might be more than one stone.
According to the calculation of the market jin in later generations, the yield per mu in a good year is about 200 jin.
In an ordinary year, it would only be about 150 kilograms.
If the year were more ordinary, we would only be able to harvest a hundred kilograms.
As for severe floods and droughts, it's hard to say. It's possible to harvest just a few kilograms or even no grains.
Of course, in times of famine, Yun Chao will not collect land rent according to the regulations. Specific problems will be analyzed in detail, and Yun Chao will reduce or reduce the rent as appropriate.
The harvest of three bushels of grain per season is actually 30% of the land rent.
Compared with the original 50% land rent set by Lai Zhicheng, this is equivalent to a 40% reduction.
Not to mention anything else, this one item alone is enough to make villagers who want to rent fields squeeze their heads!
However, if he only had this measure, Yun Chao would not be a time traveler, at least not a qualified time traveler.
If you want to become a qualified time traveler, you must take a long-term view, and you must not just focus on the one-third of an acre of land in front of you.
The peasants of the Dawu Dynasty were too miserable and too poor.
If farmers are kept in this state, the economy under the rule will not be able to develop solely relying on severely lagging handicrafts and industry and commerce.
If he wants to get rid of the vicious circle that previous dynasties have been unable to escape from, Yunchao must invigorate the economy, and he must do it very vigorously.
Only when the economy develops can the entire force be strong and have the strength to fight out, instead of staying in one's own home.
Therefore, Yun Chao's policy of benefiting the people was not only to reduce land rents, but also promised that if possible, he would withstand pressure and prevent the government from collecting everyone's tax burden.
Of course, it's only possible, not absolute.
Whether everyone wants to pay taxes or not depends on whether Yun Chao can withstand the pressure from the government.
If not, don't blame Yun Chao. If you want to blame him, blame yourself for not helping Yun Chao.
Yun Chao prepared to tie everyone to his chariot.
He will lead everyone to live a good life, but the premise is that everyone must work together, think together, and work hard together.
It is impossible to dream of letting him, Yun Chao, drag everyone forward and follow behind to reap the benefits!
Therefore, fields cannot be rented by anyone who wants to.
Yun Chao is not a fool. With such good conditions, of course he must take care of his own people first.
The first group of people who are eligible to rent land are his boys!
