Zhou Man not only supports them in raising chickens, but also in raising sheep, cattle, and pigs.
It’s just that few people in the village choose to raise pigs, and most choose to raise sheep and cattle.
If it weren't for the fact that raising cattle requires very high qualifications and the owners have to investigate for a period of time, the villagers would definitely choose to raise cattle.
No matter what they raise, the seedlings are provided by the owner, but when they grow, they need to share some with the owner.
For example, when it comes to raising pigs, only 28 of the 100 households in the village choose to raise pigs. The piglets are provided by the owner. After raising them for a year, when they are old enough to be slaughtered, they get 40-60%.
If the sows they raise give birth to piglets, the owner only needs 20%, and the remaining 80% is their own.
Moreover, if it is raised to death, it will all belong to the owner.
Therefore, many villagers who just put in their labor are willing to raise them.
The farmland was very large, and there was always land that was not suitable for sowing. They planted grass on those lands and used them to feed pigs, cattle, and sheep. Anyway, the harvest in the village in the past few years was pretty good, but it was a bit tiring.
But they were tired before. They feel that life is more promising now, especially the children...
They still need to work as before, but in the past they had to go to the fields to knock mud. No matter how old you are, as long as you can walk, you can do it with a wooden hammer.
Now they can herd chickens, sheep, and cattle...
It's not hard at all, just follow the chickens, sheep, and cows and prevent them from eating the crops. Occasionally, you can cut some grass and catch some bugs for them. It's much more fun than going to the fields to pound mud.
When the chickens are raised, they will lay eggs for them to eat. When the sheep are slaughtered in winter, they will also have mutton to eat...
Wei Zhi reached out and touched the child's head, nodded with a smile, "Good boy, go and let go of your a**."
The child turned around and ran away, happily chasing the chicken with his friends.
Wei Zhi went back in deep thought. Bai Shan and Zhou Man had just gotten up and were washing up.
When Wei Zhi saw the laziness of the two of them, he couldn't help but smile, "I saw Lord Zhou's job field and was very surprised. I want to ask Lord Bai, after autumn, you should also be assigned a job field, right?"
"
Before Bai Shan was in the Hanlin Academy, most of his salary was salary, and he had not had time to divide the land among his duties. This was the cunning of the Ministry of Revenue.
Because of the special department of the Hanlin Academy, many future bosses are transferred here and are expected to leave and be transferred elsewhere after one or two years. Therefore, they simply do not divide their jobs into different fields, but use the second subsidy method, directly following the
His rank is replenished with Lumi in the autumn as income from his field.
It's just that Bai Shan's luck is both too good and bad.
He joined the company in the early summer of last year, and as a rule, he was not assigned a job until the autumn, so he received no subsidy that year.
He didn't have a job last year, so he should get a subsidy this year, but this year he was promoted to the Zhongshu Province. Then he will get a job after this autumn, and he is no longer in the Hanlin Academy, so he won't get the Hanlin Academy's subsidy.
This year he still has no job income.
Man Bao thought about it for a moment and clicked his tongue: "I suddenly remembered that I earn a lot more than you."
Bai Shandao: "Our family does not rely on salary to make ends meet."
He said humbly: "My family is not short of money."
Man Bao, who was not very wealthy, and Wei Zhi, who was short of money, ignored his words and continued to discuss, "Yes, when the time comes, his farmland will also have to apply for self-management. If it is handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the harvest will not be high, and the income of the tenants will not be high."
Not high either.”
Wei Zhi nodded, and his farmland was always managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he received a fixed rent every year.
He could also try to take over the management, but this would require very careful management.
The other party must not only be able to manage tenants, but also be able to farm, and more importantly, he must have a sense of justice and must be kind, otherwise he might as well hand it over to the Ministry of Household Affairs;
But don't be too kind, otherwise the job will lose its original meaning.
Of course there is such a person under Wei Zhi, his old housekeeper is.
But if the old housekeeper goes to take care of his job, what will happen to the family affairs?
Wei Zhi glanced at Zhou Man and began to think about his relatives...
Man Bao was still teasing Wei Zhi, "Master Wei, I think it would be better to leave all these jobs to various officials, as that would be more efficient."
Wei Zhi shook his head directly and said with a smile: "I was thinking about this all the way back, but I rejected it with just a thought."
Not only Man Bao, but also Bai Shan couldn't understand, "Why? Isn't our workplace management good?"
"Of course it's good, but that's just your family," Wei knew: "There are not many official families in the world who are as kind-hearted and as obedient as your family. Moreover, it is better to believe in the system than to believe in people's hearts."
He said: "The system is more trustworthy than people's hearts."
On the way back, Wei Zhi was thinking, can this method be promoted in the court?
Just a thought and he knew, no!
First, not all officials have the same harmonious family as Zhou Man, the same capable brothers and sisters, or available stewards who can help them manage their careers;
Second, not all officials share the same blessings as Zhou Man and are willing to give up most of their benefits to tenants.
Third, and most importantly, people's hearts will change.
Wei Zhi looked at Zhou Man and Bai Shan quietly. He thought that now they can abide by the court's regulations, just do their best to take care of their jobs, and return their jobs to the court when they leave.
But what about ten years from now, twenty years from now, or even longer?
When they get used to this job, and the tenants here are also used to such an employer, when they leave, will they want to "buy" this job, or will the tenants here want to "buy" this job?
Find a way to get them to buy the job field?
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Jin Dynasty owned a large amount of public land, but it lost a large amount of land every year.
The Ministry of Household Affairs always says that there are not enough job fields, and has been urging them to reduce the allocation of job fields, but where have so many public and middle schools gone?
Although the number of officials is increasing every year, many officials die and retire every year. Generally speaking, the number of officials in the officialdom has been in a relatively stable state, increasing steadily, but not by much.
The amount of land in the place where the country was founded can fully support the jobs of officials.
The reason why it is not enough is because the job fields have been occupied by others.
There are "malicious" misappropriations, and there are also self-proclaimed "goodwill" misappropriations.
But no matter which one it is, from an overall perspective, this kind of occupation will bring great harm to the country and the people in the future.
At present, it seems that the "well-intentioned" occupation is for the benefit of the tenants who cultivate this land, but in ten or twenty years, after a different generation of owners, will they still treat them well?
If not, how miserable would they be without the supervision of the imperial court?
Therefore, it is impossible for Wei Zhi to vigorously promote this move, but he can change his approach.
He cannot trust people's hearts, but he trusts the system.
This matter cannot be left to individual officials, but it can be left to an agency - the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Liu Shangshu, who had no fields to plant and no field leave, had been crazy busy these days to fight the drought. It rarely rained, so he took some time to rest at home. However, he couldn't help but sneezed twice in succession. He gathered up his clothes.
, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and muttered: "It's a rare rainy day, and I actually caught a cold?"
