Chapter 314
From sowing in spring to harvesting in autumn, the grain produced from one mu of land can be up to catties. After paying taxes to the court, it is not the land rented from the landlord, but the land owned by oneself. Fortunately, there is still more grain left, which is enough for a family A year's surplus food.
If the land rented from the landlord is paid one-tenth of the total harvest tax to the court, and four of the total harvest is handed over to the big landlord as rent, then there will not be much food left.
Enough to feed the family for about half a year, and the rest of the time has to find a way to make money!
Song Shangshang listened for a while and pondered, "Father, two taels of silver per mu of land, but the premise is that the land must be reclaimed."
She wouldn't accept uncultivated land, it had to be reclaimed, otherwise would she have to spend money to hire someone to reclaim the land before planting cotton?
What a waste of time!
If it wasn't for convenience, in order not to waste the land in Qingshuigou, she would have rented it in other villages.
"Okay, yes." Song Yuanbai nodded, his daughter's idea is feasible, and they don't have to reclaim wasteland when the time comes.
In addition, two taels of silver per mu of land is enough. A family has at least five mu of land, and families with many members have ten mu of land.
It can earn more than 20 taels of silver, and when the time comes, a series of follow-up tasks such as sowing and weeding will need to hire people.
The hired person must be someone from the hired clan, so this is a job that is sure to make money.
No one would be too stupid to rent, right?
What Song Yuanbai didn't expect was that there really was such a fool in their Song clan.
Just after the Lantern Festival, when the patriarch gathered the people in the clan and talked about the matter of renting land, several men jumped out and objected, "If you want to rent, you can rent the wasteland, and we will not rent out the reclaimed land. "
Song Yuanbai frowned when he heard this, he was not very familiar with the people in the clan, so he only knew the families that had a better relationship with their families, who belonged to the men who jumped out to object?Not impressed.
And Song Shangshang looked at them with a snort, and called Song Yingshi, the son of a scholar who was remembering his name, "Okay, I won't rent your land. Uncle Yingshi will cross out the names of these people."
Who are you scaring!Still threatening her?I'm afraid she has forgotten what she did before?These hooligans in the clan, if you scold them or cut them off every once in a while, they will make progress and come to negotiate terms with you!
Undercut!
Song Yingshi nodded, crossed out the names of those people on the paper, and then counted the total amount, "Shangshang, a total of 310 and five acres of land."
Song Changshang nodded, indicating that he knew that most of the tribe's 315 mu of land had been rented out, and only a few people had not.
However, there is not much difference between renting and not renting the land of those few people. There is not much land at first. One person only has one mu of land.
It's not a big deal, and I don't know what these people are competing with her family. There is no big grudge, it's just that she said a few more words when the other party wants to pay on credit!
You really can't underestimate the heart of a man!Smaller than real.
Song Changshang calculated in his mind, 310 five acres of land, the rent is 630 taels of silver, but the rent is not given now!
Song Changshang coughed twice, and said first, "Quiet and quiet." When everyone quieted down, she said, "Everyone, when the weather is warmer and the land is cleared, you can come to my house to collect money. Oh wasteland!"
Ha ha.
It is impossible to distribute the money in advance. What if these people do not reclaim the land if she does so?She's going to cry to someone.
So of course I came to ask her for money after the reclamation.
A woman snorted and muttered, "I thought I was giving money now, but I didn't expect not to give it now." She also wanted to use the money to buy some food and cloth for clothes!
Seeing that the woman muttered a few times and no one answered her, she stopped talking and followed the crowd to the wooden house.
Song Shangshang also pushed her father out of the wooden house. The system's calendar showed that it was already March, and today was March .
It's still early. Farming usually starts in May. In February, the dragon rises, and the dragon rises in Houtian. After that, the weather will gradually warm up, and the land will start to thaw, and the wasteland can be reclaimed.
Speaking of which, it has been a month and a half since King Jin left, and he said he would be back within two months at the longest, but there is no news about this meeting, and he is nowhere to be seen, and he doesn't know if the other party can come back within two months at the appointed time.
In the next second, Song Shangshang patted his head lightly, annoyed that she was missing His Royal Highness King Jin just now?
Hey, if he doesn't come, he won't come or not, what does she want him to do!
Spring is here, everything is recovering, and it's the breeding season, so is she thinking of spring?
No, no, she should not be Sichun, but worried about her father's leg injury, yes, she is worried about her father's leg injury!
His Royal Highness King Jin is her father's attending doctor, so it's normal for her to talk about him a lot.
Yes, it's normal!
Song Shangshang quickly found a reason for herself, but what she didn't expect was that some people just couldn't help talking about it.
