Chapter 2546
Chapter 2546
There is a big difference between Huangzhuang's employment and Zhou man's employment, that is, they don't have to choose very much.
Because no one can bully Huangzhuang.
It belongs to the emperor's family. How many people outside dare to pit them.
Therefore, if you hire long-term and short-term workers, you don't have to be too careful, but there are many constraints on the tenant farmers. After signing the contract, you need to use him for at least one year.
The law of the great Jin Dynasty stipulates that once the tenancy contract is signed, in order to protect the interests of the tenants, the owner shall not terminate the contract before winter.
This is to prevent some bad landlords from looking for an excuse to terminate the contract and drive the tenants away after they farm, which will really kill people.
Therefore, you should be more careful when looking for tenant farmers, even Huangzhuang.
Bai Erlang got their idea, so he took Mingda out every day. First, he asked the steward to gather all the existing tenants and told them that they would still provide seeds this year, but the rent was reduced from 60% to 40%, that is, at the end of a year, they can have 60% of the land.
The tenants were overjoyed and almost unbelievable.
All kinds of tastes in the mind of the manager are all there, but his face is bursting with happiness. He said, "Princess Royal is newly married. This is your blessing from your highness. You must serve the princess well and be loyal to the princess from now on. If anyone dares to do anything that will damage the princess, it will hurt the princess. I will not forgive you first!"
After training, he bowed to ask Princess Mingda for instructions and said with a smile, "Your Highness, do you have anything else to add?"
"No, you let them go. Now the spring is just right, and the land needs to be leveled," Mingda said, looking at Bai Erlang. Seeing that he nodded slightly, he continued to say to the steward: "let them remove the grass in the land first, level the land well, work hard this year, and I will only receive 40% of the rent next year."
The steward wants to stop talking. He has a lot to say. For example, Chuang Tzu doesn't make money. On the contrary, the master may owe you.
But when his eyes swept to the son-in-law, he endured it. These days, he also understood that the princess did not understand farming, but the son-in-law seemed to be very familiar.
Some things can convince the princess, but not necessarily the son-in-law.
So the steward swallowed his words and answered them silently.
Princess Mingda was happy. For the first time, she handled things outside so smoothly, "there's another thing."
Mingda said, "we don't have to work on this section of the road. We pay for it ourselves."
The steward opened his mouth. "How much does it cost?"
Servants are like their masters. Obviously, this one, like the emperor, is also a man who cherishes money.
Mingda was not short of money. He waved proudly and said, "you don't have to take care of this. You just send someone to tell Xun county magistrate that he doesn't have to issue a service order for our imperial villa."
As for the road builder, she has another choice.
"You have to go to xunxian magistrate and tell him by the way that there is no need to work in the imperial villa for spring ploughing and autumn harvest this year. We take care of the people we lack."
The steward was very puzzled and asked in a frightened way: "the princess disliked the coarseness of the servant Ding, didn't do the work carefully, and wasted the land?"
While talking, he quietly went to see Bai Erlang.
Mingda shook his head slightly. "No, agriculture is busy soon, and everywhere is busy. How can I spend manpower? Let them each be busy with their family affairs, and we'll hire someone ourselves. "
Bai Erlang then took over and said, "I've calculated with the princess that this time we'll hire more short-time workers, just 120 people, whether men or women."
Both men and women can sow seeds and transplant seedlings.
The steward finally had something to say. He hurriedly said, "son-in-law, this man is easier to use than women. After all, farming is hard work and you have to pull a plow."
"So we're going to buy thirty cows. When we have cows, we only need people who are in charge of the plow," Bai Erlang said. "When they work, you should pay attention and write down those diligent and meticulous people. When the spring is over, ask them if they are willing to work long-term. If you are willing, leave 30 to 50 people. If you have a family, it's better to write down first, Next year, they will be directly recruited as tenants. "
"By the way, there are many people coming. You first choose two places to build two rows of sheds, separated by a distance. One row is for men and the other row is for women."
The steward was greatly impacted, "son-in-law, son-in-law, where do we get so many cows?"
"Don't worry about it. There are thirty, not one less, and they are all cattle over the age of two."
It can be directly put into use. One cow can be used as two strong workers.
Steward:
He silently wrote down these things and then bowed back.
Mingda was very excited. He couldn't help holding Bai Erlang's hand in public and asked, "do you want to take care of another imperial villa in Yongzhou?"
The imperial villa is bigger and the land is better.
Bai Erlang is ambitious, but both Mr. Bai and Bai Shan zhouman said that he can't take too big steps when doing something first. He's not sure whether these methods will work for the imperial villa.
So he said to Mingda, "we'll talk about it next year. The imperial villa will remain the same first."
Mingda can only nod with regret.
Mingda and Bai Erlang handed over the road construction to Wu Erlang and took out the money to let him undertake the project. He hired people to be responsible for the food, drink, Lazar and various tools of the workers. They were only responsible for paying.
The reason why she would rather spend money than go whoring with a servant in Liyang county is that Princess Mingda wants to reverse the impression of the imperial villa. At least in the future, the imperial villa under her own management will not take a servant from the county government.
Xun county magistrate received two good news in a row. For a moment, he was complicated, but more surprised.
The reason why he didn't take the initiative to speak was to watch Princess Mingda's attitude. If she spoke to someone important, everything would be the same in the future. If she didn't speak, it would pass in a muddle.
To be honest, it is not a happy thing to have a royal estate under its jurisdiction.
Because Huangzhuang doesn't pay taxes, it occupies the territory for nothing. Even the slaves in it don't pay taxes. The reduction of taxes still accounts for their labor.
Because there are two imperial villages in Yongzhou City, the labor is heavier than that in other cities. Thanks to their large number, otherwise the labor shared will be heavier.
He thought it was a great good thing that Princess Mingda didn't ask for someone to build the road. Unexpectedly, she said that she wouldn't work in spring and autumn.
The magistrate of Xun county was surprised and pleased. He was so moved that his eyes were red. He couldn't help holding his master's hand and said, "no wonder the adults in the court love Princess Mingda so much. They are really kind and generous."
Then he clenched his teeth, "in contrast, the guy in Wannian county has the name of a famous family. Bah, it's still Guo's origin. It's shameless. He has to take 100000 money from me for such a long way."
Master: "Sir, are you giving or not?"
Xun county magistrate sadly closed his eyes, but bowed his head and said, "here!"
