In this era, the yield per mu was very low, and the yield per mu in one season was more than 100 catties of grain, two crops a year, one season of wheat, one season of millet, that is, millet, and the two seasons added up to only 300 catties.

1,500 acres of land, two seasons a year, that is, more than 40,000 catties of grain, sounds like a lot.

However, according to the calculation of one pound of grain a day, one person is 365 catties of grain a year, and nearly 300 people, nearly 100,000 catties of grain a year.

In this way, even if these tenants do not pay rent to the government, they will not have enough to eat.

Of course, some of them must have gone into the city to work and earn some money, otherwise they would have starved to death, let alone half full.

After listening to Zhang Lu's explanation, Zhang Junping was silent for a while.

The reality is like this, it can't be changed all at once, it's true that he is a traverser, but there is no space, no system, no special functions, you can only change the fate of the family step by step, and help the people around you live a better life.

"Master Wang!" Zhang Junping shouted to the craftsman who was surveying the terrain everywhere and looking for a suitable position.

"Zhang Langjun!"

"That's the case, if you build a wine cellar, some work that needs to be lifted and moved, can you give priority to the tenants in the village, they are just idle!" Zhang Junping discussed with the craftsman.

At this time, Zhang Junping could think of a way to help the tenants. Although these tenants can't do technical work, they can still do some work and carry it.

"There is no problem, just follow Zhang Langjun's instructions, I will try my best to ask the tenants of the farm to work!" The craftsman is also an interesting person, so he simply agreed.

"Thank you so much!"

"Thank you Lang Jun, thank you Master Wang! Lang Jun is really a bodhisattva, with great compassion and great compassion, and the Buddha of all families ·····" Chen Yu took a group of tenants to kowtow to Zhang Junping and said some words he heard.

"You don't need to be polite, get up!

You have come from the north to join my Zhang family, and my Zhang family has the obligation to take care of you and others!

Over the years, the farm has also been able to harvest thanks to your hard work! "Zhang Junping is very helpless, didn't he say that kneeling and worshipping were not popular in the Song Dynasty? How do you kneel at every turn? I could only step forward and help them up one by one.

In fact, this is all a misunderstanding, it is not popular to bow down, that refers to the scholars and literati, and the common people are the lowest type of people in any era.

Another one, in Zhang Junping's opinion, is a very ordinary thing, but it also moved the tenants to tears.

Own farms, own tenants, take care of them, in Zhang Junping's opinion, this is how it should be!

But the tenants did not think so, and neither did the majority of the landlords and gentry.

I'll rent the land for you to plant, that's to take care of you, whether you can eat or not, that's your own business!

As long as you don't lose my rent, I don't care if you starve to death or not! I starved to death, and I rented the land to others.

"Master Wang, after choosing a good location, seize the time to organize people to start work! Find a housekeeper if you have something! Zhang Junping explained to the craftsman, and then looked at Chen Yu, "Uncle Chen, how many cows are there in the village?" ”

"Hui Langjun, there are three ploughing cattle in the village!" Chen Yu didn't know what Zhang Junping meant by asking how many cows there were, but he still answered honestly.

"Only three cows? Too little! ”

"Lang Jun, people can't eat enough, so there is still money left to raise cattle!

These three cows, and one of them are already old and can't do their work, just waiting for old age to die!

The other two cows are both adult cows! Chen Yu said with a bitter face.

Oh, yes! People can't eat enough, how can they raise cattle? As for arable land, there is no shortage of labor in the village!

"Take me to see it!" Zhang Junping didn't say much, and directly asked Chen Yu to take him to see the cow.

Chen Yu personally took Zhang Junping to the outside of Zhuangzi, and saw three cows on the side of the road, leisurely grazing grass.

It's summer, there's no shortage of forage, and the three cows are all right, at least not as skinny as they imagined.

Of course, there is still a gap between fat and strong.

"Wait here, I'll take a look!" Zhang Junping confessed and walked towards the grazing cow.

The three cows were still docile, and when they saw Zhang Junping coming over, they looked up and continued to eat their own grass.

Looking at the cows grazing with their heads down, Zhang Junping felt a little guilty.

Of course, the guilt is only a slight flash, as an iron-blooded soldier, there is not so much senseless compassion, once the goal is determined, it will not be easily shaken.

Walking next to a fairly sturdy adult cow, Zhang Junping raised his luck and slapped his palm on the cow's head.

The ploughing ox let out a short scream and fell to the ground with a whimper.

The other two cows were frightened and wanted to run, Zhang Junping took two steps, came to the old cow that was no longer able to work, raised his luck again, and slapped his palm on the cow's head.

"Congratulations to Lang Jun for making great progress in his palm, this palm slaps the healthy cow to death, without hurting the fur!" Zhang Lu stepped forward to check on the two dead ploughing cows, and then loudly complimented Zhang Junping.

"Huh! Uncle Lu, don't talk nonsense! This cow obviously fought and died by itself! Zhang Junping smiled and corrected Zhang Lu's statement.

"Yes, yes! Look at my mouth! Zhang Lu slapped himself lightly in the mouth, and then turned his head to Chen Yu and other tenants who came over and said, "These two cows fought and died by themselves!" Everybody saw it, didn't it? ”

"Yes, yes! He died fighting for himself! I've seen it all, but I can't stop it! Many tenants were still puzzled, and Chen Yu hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, we saw it, the ploughing cattle fought and died by themselves!" The common people also have the wisdom of the common people, and after Zhang Lu and Chen Yu's reminders, others also hurriedly followed.

Dead is dead!

Anyway, this cow is the property of the Zhang family, and they are just raising cattle for the Zhang family.

"How can you farm without ploughing oxen? Lubo, go buy twenty sturdy oxen and come back!

Two bulls, eighteen cows! Don't be afraid to spend money, don't be a buffalo, be sure to be the most robust scalper!

In addition, by the way, go to Kaifeng Mansion to call the officials, let them come over to confirm, and issue a letter of killing cattle! ”

The reason why you don't want buffalo is because buffalo meat is not as tasty as yellow beef.

Of course, Zhang Junping will definitely not say this.

"Whoa!" Zhang Lu agreed, turned around and went to arrange.

"Lang Jun, three cows, we are already struggling. Twenty healthy cows, this summer and autumn are fine, we really can't afford to raise them in winter and spring! Hearing that Zhang Junping asked people to buy cattle, Chen Yu and others not only did not feel happy, but said sadly.

"It doesn't matter! Find five old people who are struggling to farm, and be responsible for raising these cattle!

The government pays wages, wages, and it is consistent every month! ”

"Thank you Lang Jun, Lang Jun for your kindness, we ...... We don't know how to reciprocate! The little one kowtowed to Lang Jun! Chen Yu took the tenants to kneel and kowtow to Zhang Junping again.

This time, Zhang Junping did not go to help, but scolded loudly: "Get up!

Don't kneel down at every turn in the future, when people kneel long, this bone will be soft!

As the head of the Zhang family, I take care of you, and it is my responsibility to let you have no worries about food and clothing!

Therefore, you don't need to be grateful, and you don't need to kneel!

If you're grateful, do your job! Work hard! ”
