"Rent land? Vegetables? ”

"What's the solution?"

Hu Yun was in a daze, and his little face was full of puzzlement.

But seeing Gu Tianya flick his head with a smile, he asked step by step: "Isn't it okay to rent land?" Who stipulates that if people want to farm, they must go to the wasteland by themselves? ”

"What you prescribed......"

The little guy almost blurted out, and then began to count the rules with his fingers, and because he studied the rules of the Cloud Land very deeply, he couldn't hold back the conversation once he opened it, and said endlessly: "Since the apprentice came here, I will first read the various decrees you have issued thoroughly, for example, there is one of your decrees, if the people want to farm the land, they can go to the wasteland by themselves, the Land of Clouds has five states, and there is land everywhere that needs to be cultivated, and the taxes you set are very low, For every acre and a half of land reclaimed, the people only need to hand over three points of land, and the rest belongs to themselves, and their ancestors have been farming for generations to support their families. So Master, this is what you stipulated, if the common people want to farm, they have to go and open up the wasteland by themselves......"

"Really?"

Gu Tianya smiled, and suddenly asked meaningfully: "If you read the decree just now, can the common people really have to open up the wasteland by themselves if they want to farm?" ”

Hu Yun was confused, and couldn't help but recall the edict he had just recited. Unfortunately, no matter how much he recalled, he never found anything unusual in the decree.

The little guy's face flushed with anxiety.

Fortunately, Li Jiancheng couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly reminded him aloud on the side: "When your master formulated certain decrees, he deliberately avoided strict words, such as 'If the people want to farm the land, they can go to the wasteland by themselves', and the word 'can' is worth figuring out." According to common sense, the law must be rigorous, so you should use the word 'must' instead of the word 'may' that you just recited, little one, can you figure out the loophole now? ”

OK!

Have to!

These are two completely different words.

Hu Yun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly called out 'wow', and said with a face full of surprise: "What the decree says is okay, but it doesn't say that it is necessary, which means that the people who want to farm do not necessarily have to open up the land themselves, but allow them to obtain land through any other means, such as the rent ...... that Shizun just said."

Gu Tianya laughed, and said in a leisurely tone: "When the teacher first formulated the decree, he had already laid a lot of foreshadowing in advance. For example, it is not forbidden for ordinary people to rent land, which is one of the hidden ones, but why should I make this rule? Little one, you might as well try to guess, it will be the first assessment of you for the teacher, and I hope you can guess the exact answer. ”

"Why do you have this rule?"

Hu Yun fell into deep thought.

After a long time, this little guy seemed to have an understanding, he subconsciously raised his head, his eyes flashed with the brilliance of enlightenment, and said: "Shizun's cloud land is very large, and the people are constantly migrating, whenever a person comes, they will basically choose to open up the wasteland, and when the people open up the wasteland, they will pay taxes according to the provisions of paying three points of land for every acre and a half......"

"This tax is not high at all for the common people, because the payment of three points of land can be regarded as the lightest tax in the whole world, but for you, Master, the amount of land harvested is extremely huge."

"Every acre and a half of the people will hand over three points of land to you, but our Han people are the most willing to work hard, and no family will be satisfied with the number of only one and a half acres of wasteland, so as long as they still have the strength to move, they will not stop cultivating the wasteland."

"A family of seven is counted as one household in the Tang Dynasty, so let's take this family as an example, how much land will they reclaim after they come to Youzhou? Ten acres? A hundred acres? The apprentice thinks that it is far more than that, and this family has to cultivate at least a few hundred acres of ......"

For the time being, I will choose a compromise number, which is only calculated according to the 500 acres of land cultivated by one family. So how much land will they hand over to the master? ”

Since the little guy had just apprenticed, he had not yet learned mathematical equations with Gu Tianya at this time, so he could only use the most primitive method to calculate little by little through the increment of numbers.

Seeing that the little guy crossed his fingers and began to calculate, Rory said in a rambling voice: "One and a half acres of land is handed over to three quarters, fifteen acres is three acres, one hundred and fifty acres is thirty acres, four hundred and fifty acres is ninety acres, five hundred acres, five hundred acres, five hundred acres ......."

Gu Tianya saw that he was obviously suffocated, and taught him with a smile: "You have already calculated the amount of four hundred and fifty mu to be handed in, so why don't you take out the last fifty mu separately and calculate it?" ”

Hu Yun looked at him pitifully, and said helplessly: "The apprentice just took out the last fifty acres and calculated them separately, but I can't calculate how much to hand over for a while." ”

This is a flaw of the ancients, and there were no mathematical formulas in this era.

Gu Tianya laughed and continued to remind him: "You just calculated that one hundred and fifty mu needs to be handed over to thirty mu, so will the ratio of fifty mu and one hundred and fifty mu be counted?" ”

Hu Yun was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously exclaimed: "Yes, yes, the apprentice can compare one hundred and fifty acres with fifty acres." 150 acres need to be handed over to 30 acres, so 50 acres are not 10 acres. In this way, the share of the entire 500 acres of land will be calculated...... The front 450 acres need to be handed over 90 acres, and the back 50 acres need to be handed over to 10 acres, adding up to a total of 100 acres of land, and a family needs to hand over 100 acres of land to you. ”

Gu Tianya laughed again, and said helplessly: "In fact, one and a half acres of land can be counted as 15 points of land, and the share handed over by the people is 3 points of land, this ratio is originally 5 to 1, even if the total number becomes larger, the proportion will not change, but you look at the calculation method you just made, there are so many words in the word, in fact, you only need to remember to take one out of five, so no matter how large the number of acres is not difficult to calculate." ”

Hu Yun's eyes were full of longing, and he muttered, "Is this the knowledge of the master?" It was really an eye-opener. ”

Gu Tianya laughed out loud, and gently encouraged him: "The number has been calculated, continue the topic you just wanted to talk about." ”

……

The little guy hurriedly looked solemn, and said crisply: "A family cultivates 500 acres, and it needs to be handed over to the master for 100 acres." It's just one family, but what about ten? What about a hundred, what about a thousand? With the continuous development of the Land of Clouds, more and more people will definitely come over, and with their continuous influx, more and more land will be cultivated, which means that the master has more and more land......"

"But!"

The young man suddenly said in a correct tone, looked at Gu Tianya and said, "Master, you can't plant so much land by yourself. ”

Gu Tianya nodded in approval, and continued to encourage him: "Not only can I not plant so much land myself, even if I add a few of your sisters, we can't plant it, and even if we count all the retainers and family members of the entire Gu family, we can't plant so much land either." ”

"So this land can't be wasted, and someone has to find someone to cultivate it."

The little guy followed closely and his voice gradually became confident, and said, "And this is also the reason why the master deliberately left a foreshadowing when he made the decree in the first place, and you had already thought of leasing these lands to the people at that time. ”

Gu Tianya laughed, stretched out his hand and sighed again, and pretended to joke: "Listening to you Rory, I have been talking for a long time, and I finally analyzed the problem clearly." Okay, let's take care of the rest, it's a gradual matter, I don't expect you to catch up with a few other people overnight, now you listen, I'll teach you how to develop your group......"

Hu Yun hurriedly waited solemnly.

Gu Tianya coughed lightly, cleared his mind and slowly spoke, "Most of your group are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the wasteland in Youyun Prefecture needs hard work to be reclaimed into fertile land, so it is impossible for your group to mobilize the people to open up the wasteland like other groups. ”

"Not being able to clear land is not a problem, because you now know that land can be leased. It is difficult to reclaim wasteland into fertile land, but it is not difficult to lease a mature piece of fertile land for planting. Especially for the teacher to give you a special plan, I am not going to let your group grow crops, but to grow vegetables, which will save more effort than planting crops. ”

"Growing vegetables is different from growing grain, growing vegetables does not require as hard work as farming, and there are cattle to hire in the official office of the division, which can ensure that the people in your group can grow vegetables."

"Maybe you wonder, how can a teacher let your group grow vegetables? I'll tell you, good boy, it's a good way to get rich. Everyone wants food, so after the people come to Youzhou, they have to plant food before they reclaim the land. Because there is an old saying since ancient times, it is said that there is no panic in the heart when there is food at home, but many people ignore a problem, vegetables are also indispensable food. ”

"Not long ago, there was a statistic in the official office of the division, as of the beginning of this month, the number of people who arrived in the land of clouds had reached 6,400 households, because they all fled from the famine, so the number of households was less than that of the seven households under the official command of the Tang Dynasty, about five per household, but even so, it reached nearly 35,000 people."

"These more than 35,000 people have cultivated nearly 300,000 acres of barren land in just three or four months. And with the arrival of spring next year, there will be a wave of explosive land reclamation after the ice and snow melt, how much fertile land will there be at that time? It is estimated that the teacher will get at least one million acres. ”

"Millions of acres?"

The little guy had crooked eyes and was obviously stunned by the number.

Several other people in the house were also confused, and even Ma Sanbao, who had just come back from digging snow, was a stumbling person.

…… The first shift arrived, followed by the second shift
