"As for the judgment of the upper, middle and lower grades, you can rest assured. When the crops are produced, the farmer will invite some of you to act as judges and make the ratings together with the farmer."
"In addition, most of the land will be of medium grade. The number of upper and lower grade lands will remain the same. In this way, you don't have to worry that I will deliberately give you a low grade in order to pay you less for food. "
As soon as this statement came out, the tenant farmers became restless again.
Some people who understood the words explained it again to those who didn't understand.
Now all the tenant farmers had no objection.
Not only is their new owner not a scammer, he is also quite benevolent.
After all, this is a bumper harvest year, and they have plenty of food.
The boss directly uses this year's standards to distribute food to them. They have made a profit!
When everyone calmed down, Shen Shuangshuang continued to speak.
"I can promise you that as long as the Mengjiazhuang is in my hands, the food distribution plan I promised you today will not change. No matter whether there are good years or bad years, this will be implemented!"
As soon as these words came out, the tenant farmers cheered.
"Ma'am, aren't you afraid of losing money if you are like this?!" At this moment, the man suddenly asked loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the tenant farmers looked at the man one after another.
Some people agree, others are angry.
I feel that a man should not remind Shen Shuangshuang.
Shen Shuangshuang looked at the man again and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Wait until the scene is quiet before continuing to speak.
"If I have to grow the same crops on the ground, I'm afraid I will indeed lose money in bad years. But I'm going to plant some other crops." At this point, Shen Shuangshuang smiled on his face.
"New crops can grow even in winter."
As soon as this statement came out, the tenant farmers were surprised.
Many expressed disbelief.
Shen Shuangshuang did not mean to explain, and continued: "As you all know, this year is a good year. I will distribute food to you based on the harvest of the good year, so you will naturally have to pay more. This extra season of labor is The extra effort.”
The tenant farmers agreed with what they understood, but were confused by those who didn't.
"This is actually a good thing for you. According to this plan, no matter whether it is a good year or a disaster year, if you farm the land seriously, you will be able to get the same amount of food as you will receive this year."
"In other words, as long as you keep farming for my Mengjiazhuang, you will never have to worry about going hungry."
In ancient times, there was a huge gap in grain output between good years and bad years. In good years, livestock could eat enough grain, but in bad years, merchants hoarded it, and the price of grain was ridiculously high.
For the sake of people's livelihood, the imperial court would hoard grain in good years, and then open warehouses to release grain in disaster years to stabilize grain prices.
Unfortunately, although this can solve the problem to a certain extent, the method of hoarding food will be ineffective when the disaster is particularly severe, or when disasters occur for many consecutive years and a large number of people are in need of relief.
The reason why she dared to make such a promise to the tenant farmers was because she had space and was regularly stocking up on food in the space.
This year is a good year, and the price of food is low. She has successively stocked up thousands of kilograms of food in the space, and all of it is ground rice and flour.
In addition to the food she has stored, there is also red earth in her space.
When the time comes, it will be grown now, and the grain grown will be enough to pay the tenant farmers in Mengjiazhuang.
Those confused tenant farmers may not have understood what Shen Shuangshuang said before, but they did understand the last two sentences.
As long as they farm the land for their boss, Mengjiazhuang's land, they won't go hungry!
Not going hungry, isn’t this what everyone is pursuing?
As a result, the tenant farmers were very excited and thanked Shen Shuangshuang one after another.
The matter of farming was just settled.
After the tenant farmers dispersed, Shen Shuangshuang gathered the long-term workers and arranged for them to clear up the land on the farm that had not been tenanted.
These lands are relatively close to the house on the village, and all the grain in the fields has been harvested, so they are most suitable for raising seedlings.
For the next four days, Shen Shuangshuang stayed in Mengjiazhuang.
The main reason is that Mengjiazhuang is too far from Dahe Village. Even by horse carriage, it takes nearly an hour to drive.
It was too troublesome to go back and forth, so Shen Shuangshuang simply stayed at the village.
After Shen Shuangshuang settled in, he not only arranged the land preparation, but also completed the seedling cultivation work.
She not only cultivated kraft seeds, but also cultivated several cold-resistant vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, lettuce, winter vegetables and lettuce.
Just in terms of quantity, kraft seeds are used the most, and the quantity far exceeds other vegetable types.
In addition, she also distributed the pea seeds she had to the long-term workers.
Let the long-term workers dig holes in the field ridges, field walls, and soil walls, and sow peas into the holes.
Peas are climbing plants, so it is easier for them to grow if they are not planted on flat ground.
It means that she doesn't have enough seeds on hand. Otherwise, she will plant as many peas as possible to make more complete use of the limited land.
In the village, Shen Shuangshuang also asked the people in the village to sort out the pig coops and chicken coops in preparation for raising pigs and chickens.
When the seedlings come out, a lot of farmyard fertilizer will be needed in the fields. If there are not enough livestock on the farm, there will not be enough farmyard fertilizer.
She could send some plant ash and soybean meal from the workshop, but the distance was too far and it seemed troublesome.
August fourteenth.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is only one day away.
In the afternoon, Shen Shuangshuang finally embarked on his return journey.
Dahe Village, Shen Zhai.
When Shen Shuangshuang walked to the door of her home, she heard the sound of students endorsing books from the elementary school next door.
The content is exactly the Three Character Classic.
Remembering that the day she left on the tenth day of the lunar month happened to be when the literacy class started, and today was already the fourteenth day, Shen Shuangshuang sighed in her heart that time flies by so fast.
Resisting the desire to go to Mengxue to check out the situation, Shen Shuangshuang went directly into Shen's house.
"Go and prepare hot water. I want to take a shower and wash myself." Shen Shuangshuang ordered Chuntao as he walked in.
After staying in Zhuangzi for nearly five days, it was not like she hadn't taken a shower.
But the environment in the village is poor and not as comfortable as at home.
After returning from a trip, she couldn't wait to clean up.
"Yes." Chuntao agreed and went directly to the big kitchen.
When Shen Shuangshuang returned to his yard, Xia He greeted him.
"Chun Tao went to get me hot water. You go and prepare your clothes. Later, Chuntao and I will help me take a bath." Shen Shuangshuang gave the order directly.
"Yes!" Xia He also became busy.
Half an hour later.
Shen Shuangshuang finished washing her hair and her hair was half-dried.
Delicious meals were delivered from the kitchen, and Shen Shuangshuang got up and went to the table to eat.
After tasting the delicious food at home again, Shen Shuangshuang became energetic.
After eating, Shen Shuangshuang asked about the time.
Knowing that it was still early, Shen Shuangshuang went to the west courtyard.
In the past few days at the village, she had not forgotten to dry the medicinal materials.
She asked the manor to leave a courtyard for her alone, and only she was allowed to enter and exit.
Then the medicinal materials are dried in the courtyard every day.
After a few days, she had already produced a lot of dried medicinal materials.
It was still early, and she didn't want to waste the time.
Entering the west courtyard, Shen Shuangshuang found a large number of bamboo strips under the eaves.
Knowing that these bamboo strips were brought back from Huichun Hall by her mother-in-law, Shen Shuangshuang smiled on her face.
