Chapter 121: Reform
Thereupon.
Lu Yuanzai came to Lujia Village again, and summoned Shan Lizheng and Wen Jueshu, the son surnamed Wen, to the Lujia Village meeting hall.
The so-called council hall is a public house built by Lu Yuan to organize these ten households to organize, the purpose of which is to allow Shan Lizheng and Wen Jueshu to distribute the grain of each family here and deal with the contradictions and disputes between the ten households.
And Wen Jueshu is the only one among the ten households in Lujia Village who has read except Shan Lizheng, and because he is a scholar, he is also quite prestigious among the ten households.
Therefore, Lu Yuan also asked Wen Jueshu to be the village leader of Lujia Village and assist Shan Lizheng in handling the affairs of Lujia Village.
Now, Lu Yuan summoned Shan Lizheng and Wen Jueshu and asked, "How is the harvest of ten acres of early rice?"
"Back to the lord, all have been harvested, just waiting for the last batch to be dried and put into the warehouse. ”
Single-mindedly replied.
Lu Yuan nodded, he suddenly remembered that the system had said that his ten acres of early rice were hybrid rice with a yield of more than two thousand catties per mu, so he asked again: "Has the yield per mu of my ten acres of early rice been calculated?"
"Back to the lord, all of them have been calculated, and there are about seventeen stones and three dendrobs and five buckets per mu in total. ”
At this time, Wen Jueshu replied.
Lu Yuan couldn't help frowning, he asked Shan Li to remember to count the reserves and yield per mu when he was harvesting grain, but he forgot to let them use the weights and measures he knew to count, so that the data he heard from Wen Jueshu's mouth now was a relatively old weights and measures statistics, which was actually Shi Hedou.
"Is this higher than your previous yield per mu?"
Lu Yuan asked.
"Back to the lord, this amount is unprecedented in the lives of the grass people! This amount of yield per mu can make one acre of fertile land support a family, if every mu of fertile land can also be like this, one acre of my Lujia Village can be worth more than eight acres of high-quality fertile land outside! And if the world is full of such fields, then there will be no famine in the world!"
Wen Jueshu said excitedly.
"This is not my Lujia Village's field, this is this rice, you didn't find that this rice is different from the rice you planted?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Wen Jueshu was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that the reason for the high yield of the ten acres of early rice harvested before was in the rice rather than the quality of the field.
"Back to the lord, the grass people have also discovered that the harvested early rice is a little lower than what the grass people saw before, and the rice ears have more grains."
Shan Lizheng replied at this time.
Well, that's the key, the ten acres of early rice is called "hybrid rice", its rice is low enough to prevent strong winds from blowing down, and more grains per ear leads to high yields. ”
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Hybrid rice? Dare to ask the lord, what is hybridization, but what is the source of the allusion?"
Wen Jueshu asked curiously.
"This is a rice created by a sage surnamed Yuan, the name he took, as for why it is called hybrid rice, I don't really understand, but the source of the allusion should be the content of genetics."
Lu Yuan replied.
"A sage surnamed Yuan?"
Wen Jueshu racked his brains and couldn't think of any of the ancient sages surnamed Yuan, and finally he could think that Lu Yuan was talking about an immortal, and genetics must also be a science of immortals, or related to Taoism, after all, Taoism has immortals. Beautiful
Lu Yuan didn't talk to Shan Lizheng and Wen Jueshu about hybrid rice here, but told them that he wanted to change the ownership system of the ten households in Lujia Village.
First of all, Lu Yuan began to implement the sharing system of lump sum to households in Lujia Village, and calculated according to the maximum food demand of each household to eat a full meal, and Lu Yuan decided to implement a seven-third division with these people.
That is to say, the grain produced by these people is based on the minimum yield per mu of late rice planted in Lujia Village in the first year, and seven of the transactions are given to Lu Yuan as public grain, and the remaining thirty percent is allowed to be privately owned as the rations of these people.
As for the more food produced by these people, it was allowed to be their private property.
The people of Lujia Village are naturally extremely happy, and their enthusiasm for production is much greater than before, and even some of those who used to be lazy began to get up before dawn to go to farming.
In addition, in order to consolidate his rule in Lujia Village and strengthen the loyalty of these ten families to him, Lu Yuan was ready to use 20% of the public grain income to build public utilities in the entire Lujia Village.
Lu Yuan asked Wen Jueshu to organize people to establish an ancient social school in the village, and let Wen Jueshu be responsible for teaching the children of Lujia Village to read.
But Lu Yuan did not stop Wen Jueshu from enlightening the children and teenagers of Lujia Village with the traditional Confucian enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Wen" that he knew.
Even, Lu Yuan had no intention of preventing Wen Jueshu from promoting the orthodoxy of science, because his current purpose was to rule these villagers and their descendants through education, imprison their minds, make them obey his rule, and cultivate their servility.
Although Confucianism, especially Cheng and Zhu Lixue, clearly makes people saints, it is undoubtedly the only magic weapon that imprisons people's freedom of thought.
Therefore, Lu Yuan did not stop it, and even he supported Wen Jueshu to do so.
In order to strengthen the loyalty of these Lujia villagers and their descendants, he also encouraged Wen Jueshu to strengthen his position in the minds of these villagers.
After Lu Yuan admitted and allowed the villagers of Lujia Village to have their own private property, he also began to establish a system of maintaining integrity, nominally to ensure that Shen Lizheng and Wen Jueshu did not steal when managing public grain and did not use their power for personal gain when dealing with other public affairs, but in fact, Lu Yuan used this way to win over Shen Lizheng and Wen Jueshu, so that these two people became his loyal lackeys and ruled these villagers for himself.
Lu Yuan gave Shen Lizheng 960 catties of incorruptible grain in January, while Wen Jueshu gave 900 catties of incorruptible grain in January.
The reason why the grain is directly distributed is because Lu Yuan's Lujia Village has no commercial activities now, and there is no currency, and grain is the only hard currency, and it is also the only property that can represent the value of the two of Lu Yuan's property, so Lu Yuan simply gave them grain directly.
As for weights and measures, Lu Yuan didn't plan to use weights and measures like stones and buckets, because he was used to using weights and measures like catties and kilograms, so he was naturally reluctant to change them, and asked these villagers to change them.
In this way, Lu Yuan can also know more quickly whether there are any problems with all kinds of data in Lujia Village.
For this reason, Lu Yuan also plans to buy a weight that meets the national measurement standards.
Shen Lizheng and Wen Jueshu were obviously very happy about this, and they were very grateful to Lu Yuan for treating them differently, after all, Lu Yuan let them have more private property than others.
You must know that the county order of the Ming Dynasty is only a grain of 90 stone per year, which is a maximum of 900 catties of grain per month, and Lu Yuan gave him 60 catties more than the monthly income of a county order in the Ming Dynasty, and what Lu Yuan gave him was not mixed with any pepper cloth and other folded colors, all of which were grain.
Because of this, the two of them are now more active in doing things for Lu Yuan than before, and their sense of honor for the Emperor of Heaven is also stronger.
Wen Jueshu also worked very hard to educate the children and teenagers in Lujia Village because Lu Yuan gave him Yulu, and also took the initiative to promote Lu Yuan's greatness among these children and teenagers.
Even, Wen Jueshu also began to take the initiative to offer poems and articles to praise Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan saw that it was in line with the enslavement of the people of Lujia Village to promote his great theme and ideas, and he also rewarded this Wen Jueshu every time, either rewarding him with his own glass or rewarding him with a pack of white rabbit toffee.
As a result, Wen Jueshu became more and more active in singing praises to Lu Yuan.
Shen Lizheng was not far behind, and began to write poems and articles to praise Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan also rewarded him some.
Gradually, these two people enslaved themselves before enslaving the villagers, and they became the most loyal servants around Lu Yuan.
After turning around, Lu Yuan said that he returned to the villa after reforming the Lujia Village system, and then came to the real urban world.
Lu Yuan went to Wenting Group first, because today he was going to move to Sister Qian's deputy director's office, after all, he has now been promoted to deputy director.
