Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 1628

Man Bao was startled and said, "I don't want to turn the vocational field into a private field. Isn't that a national right mouse?"

She said, "I just want to manage the tenants and working fields myself, cultivate more carefully and reap more. In the future, if I am not an official, or if I change my official position and change my job field, I will certainly return the original job field. "

Liu Huan said, "I also said that you are not such a person. My grandfather didn't doubt it. He just said that the management of the vocational field is also very complicated. If you are willing to manage your own children, you can only apply for filing at the Ministry of household first."

Bai Shan said to man Bao, "that's probably OK. I'll go with you when I'm free."

Man Bao turned his eyes and said, "Sir's job field is near me. Let's call Sir together."

Mr. Zhuang doesn't worry about Zhitian at all. Now he is all focused on reading and teaching the crown prince and three disciples. Zhitian shouldn't be the same as salary. Can he get his share when it's time?

But man Bao is full of confidence. In addition, there are many people in the old Zhou family in the capital. They are much better than him in terms of farming. Therefore, they nodded after thinking about it.

Then he said, "it's not easy for you to come out of the palace. Since you have mentioned it in front of Liu Shangshu, just leave it to me. I'll go to the Ministry of accounts to apply for formalities."

Man Bao and Bai Shan are secretly relieved. After all, they are exceptions. They are still a little embarrassed.

Mr. Zhuang smiled at them and comforted them. Then he let them play and kept it in mind.

The reason why he took the initiative to take over the matter was to inquire into it in detail.

He doesn't know much about the management of Zhitian, but as far as he knows, Zhitian has always been managed by the Ministry of household. After the harvest every summer and autumn, the Ministry of household will calculate everyone's rent output and deliver it together.

Even for local officials, there are special people in the Yamen to take charge of this matter. However, compared with Beijing officials, most local officials can manage their own job fields.

After all, they are under their own jurisdiction, which is particularly convenient.

Unlike Beijing officials, Zhitian has radiated to Yongzhou, Shangzhou, Liangzhou and other places.

Therefore, except that some officials with a large number of job fields will require their own management, most officials are managed by the Ministry of household.

Because the cost of management is also a lot, it would be better to hand it over to the Ministry of household, which saves a lot of effort.

When Mr. Zhuang found the household department, the official in charge of Zhitian of the household department only looked at Mr. Zhuang and gave him two lists to fill in.

Then he said, "Lord Zhou, you have to use her seal to confirm that it is her own meaning."

At first glance, Mr. Zhuang knew that someone had said hello. He smiled and inquired about the current situation of qizhitian.

Although the Ministry of household is in charge of the office fields of large and small officials, the officials in charge of this matter are not high-grade, only seven grades, a little higher than Mr. Zhuang.

Because Mr. Zhuang came to apply for self-management, he happened to have to clarify some precautions with him, so he took the opportunity to talk about the management of this job field.

Mr. Zhuang returned to Chongwen hall with a thoughtful face, and then called man Bao to him. Of course, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were also eating lunch, so they were called to him together.

"Man Bao, you have a total of 1000 mu of working land. Have you figured out how to cultivate so many fields?"

Man Bao immediately said, "aren't there tenant farmers? Just tell the tenant farmers then. My father wants to take care of it himself. "

Mr. Zhuang said, "there may be no tenant farmers."

Man Bao stared round, and Bai Shan raised his head in surprise, "how can there be no tenant?"

"Because tenant farmers are hard to hire." Mr. Zhuang said, "why do you think the household department is so loose? If you want to manage your own job field, you will give it to you immediately?"

He said, "because the job field is not easy to manage at all."

It's not just easy to manage, it's just painstaking and thankless.

Although most of the job fields are good fields, the people of the Ministry of household said that few tenants are willing to rent job fields. "The imperial court rarely gives them improved seeds and farm tools, but the rent is fixed. The rent of one mu of land is between two to six Dou meters, depending on the soil fertility."

Bai Shan calculated and said, "it's reasonable."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "but it must be given. The owner may give some improved seeds and farm tools to rent other people's land, but there is nothing here in the imperial court, so they don't like renting job fields."

"Many tenants are forced to rent, so if you want to manage your own land, I'm afraid it's difficult to recruit tenants."

Man Bao said, "I have to see it on the spot to know."

After calculating the days, Bai Shan said, "it's the Mid Autumn Festival in a few days. I heard that foreign vassal will come to Korea this mid autumn festival. We'll take a few more days off, otherwise we'll go to Yongzhou?"

Man Bao's eyes lit up and immediately said, "OK, OK."

Even if you don't go to see Zhitian, it's good to go to Yongzhou.

Bai Erlang also wanted to go, "anyway, it's not far. Half a day's Kung Fu will arrive. We can stay in the rural village for a few more days. It's said that the sheep and scorpions in Yongzhou are very delicious."

Bai Shan and man Bao want to go even more.

Mr. Zhuang, who still had a lot to say before he could say it, simply handed a pamphlet to man Bao after being silent. "Although the job field is under our own management, it is also required. For example, for all the rent and tax with the tenant farmers, the fixed rent shall not exceed six Dou meters, and the sub rent shall not exceed 60 percent."

This is also the only measure taken by the imperial court to protect tenant farmers.

Man Baoying, after reading the regulations, said to Bai Erlang, "it's really dark that you can ask for 60% of the sub rent. I thought everyone would ask for 40%. Isn't your family taking 40% all the time?"

"Local," Bai Erlang didn't know much, but every year the dealer came home to report the situation, so he listened and said, "my father also collects 50% in some places."

Man Bao wondered, "why is it different?"

Bai Erlang: "how do I know? Why don't I ask my father for you when I go back? "

Bai Shan said, "because the places are different, and the soil fertility is also different."

He said: "Luojiang County, after all, is the place where I live. Even in order to make friends with my neighbors, I should take less taxes. In other places, I should take less thin land and more fertile land. Now my family collects 40% of the taxes in Longzhou, and only 50% in some places."

Man Bao and Bai Erlang were stunned.

"Grandma said that even if we don't live in Longzhou now, it's our hometown and home. We should manage the local well." Bai Shan said meaningfully: "rabbits don't eat nest grass. Generally, they rent heavily around their home. Most of them won't last long. Even the aristocratic families have to be more tolerant to the tenants around their home."

It's a real problem, but somehow, manbao is a little cold at the bottom of her heart. She secretly said: isn't this the exploitation written in some books in the encyclopedia library?

Bai Shan obviously also thought of it. After looking at man Bao, he said, "it's not necessarily a bad thing for the tenant farmers to take charge of the field yourself."
