The reason why this canteen was set up was actually to facilitate the production of Kohler bread.

The so-called "Kohler bread" is actually a fluffy bread made from rye flour mixed with grass bran. This bread is much stronger than the traditional black baguette that is as hard as a brick with a lot of wild vegetables, dirt, stones and wood chips. Thirty percent of the ingredients are grass bran, but because the bran is a ground powder, it does not make the bread hard.

However, with the gradual increase in grain production in the North Sea country, the content of grass bran in "Kohler bread" is gradually decreasing in several developed provinces such as East Friesland. Even today, in wealthy villages like Kloster, the "Kohler bread" served in the canteen contains less than 5% of the chaff...... The taste is no different from normal brown bread......

According to Marin's requirements, the bread in the villages of several core provinces of the Beihai Kingdom was supplied in a centralized manner. Marin's champion "Kohler Bread" has the lowest bran content. For example, the village of Kloster is the manor in Marin's name. Because, Marin is the richest. As for the estates under the names of other nobles, it is impossible to say. In order to save money, some aristocrats would still maintain the ratio of 30% grass bran and supply bread. However, Marin has imposed a stipulation that it is strictly forbidden to increase the proportion of grass bran to more than 30%, otherwise it will be heavily fined......

In addition to bread, salted fish is also served centrally. But this thing is not available all at once, and in some villages, it may only be sent once every few days. But wealthy villages, maybe a little more. For example, in Kloster Village, salted fish will be sent out basically no more than once in two or three days.

As for clothes, beer, and fabrics, you have to pay for them yourself. The estates of the North Sea Kingdom were based on a salary system, not a harvest system. The serfs were more like farm workers, and Marin would pay each farmer a salary worth 2 pfennigs per day. Women halved and had fewer children. However, Marin did not give cash, but food.

That is, each serf couple could only get 3 pounds of rye per day. Over the course of a year, it's 1,000 pounds of rye. But each couple cultivates hundreds of acres of farmland, and the yield in East Friesland is basically more than 500 pounds per acre. So, on average, a serf couple earns only 10 pounds of rye per acre.

However, the accounts cannot be counted in this way. Because, the manor of Beihai Country is in charge of rice......

How expensive is food in Europe? Every day, the food consumed by the family is worth at least two or three pounds of food. In other words, in fact, the income per mu of each serf is more than 20 pounds of rye.

Moreover, the serfs of the North Sea Kingdom were not required to pay the tithes of the Church according to Marin's rules. Marin has already negotiated with the Holy See to pay 15 pounds of grain per mu of cultivated land in the form of a tax package. Only half of this went to the Archbishop of Cologne, who collected tithes in northwestern Germany. The remaining half belongs to the Beihai State Church's own funds. And half of the tithes collected by the Archbishop of Cologne will actually be withheld and distributed by the Archbishop of Cologne, and then the rest will be handed over to the Holy See.

In addition, the cost of raising horses and cattle in each manor is also borne by the manor. If a farmer fell ill, he would be sent to the town by horse-drawn cart to see a doctor......

……

In other words, although the serfs did not get much money and food, they had the burden of the estate to eat and see a doctor, and they had no worries at all. And the thousands of pounds of grain a year can be exchanged for clothes or other consumer goods. As for children going to school? That's free too......

Even, the children's lunch at school is officially provided free of charge by the Beihai Kingdom. It's not hearty, but it's definitely full. Moreover, Marin also has a plan - that is, to supply every child with a long body with a glass of milk or goat's milk every day......

But this plan is too difficult to implement, mainly because the reproduction rate of black and white cows is too slow to keep up with the demand!

In desperation, Marin chose to breed and grow faster dairy sheep, East Frisian sheep. However, the problem of fishy smell of goat's milk has been difficult to solve before. It wasn't until Marin introduced high-yielding large radishes from the Ming Dynasty that the smell could be eliminated after being cooked with radish slices and goat's milk.

Today, Marin has started to promote the cultivation of dairy sheep and radishes on many farms in order to provide goat milk to children. Moreover, if the cow has a surplus of milk after giving birth, Marlin will also have the manor steward collect it and give priority to those children who are growing up.

Cows from the Crimean Khanate, although far less able to produce milk than Dutch black and white cows, still have a surplus of milk. Franz's steward had already planned that as soon as the three cows had given birth, he would have experienced women tending and milking them. The extra milk is given priority to the few teenagers in the village who are in the development period.

Because, according to Marin's instructions, teenagers who are in that "puberty period" can grow taller by drinking more milk. As the steward of the manor, Franz naturally hoped that the boys in the village would grow into tall and strong boys. In this way, whether it is to do farm work or serve as a soldier for the Grand Duke, there will be an advantage.

According to Marin's manor manager assessment method, being able to provide Beihai with excellent soldiers with high and strong strength can add points to political performance. Not only can you get more bonuses, but you may also be promoted to a more senior position in the town......

……

As Franz's carriage passed outside the refectory, the serfs greeted him:

"The steward is back?" In the eyes of the serfs, the steward of the manor is considered an "adult". It's not surprising that in the 20th century, the village chief is also the absolute controller of some remote villages in China. Moreover, the farmers in the later generations of villages actually lived independently, and the village chief did not have much influence on them. But in Marin's manor model, the stewards are more like the managers of the later companies, and the serfs are more like the petty clerks of the later generations, so they are naturally more afraid of being in charge. What's more, serfs in these years do not have the right to change jobs. Therefore, in their eyes, the man who can decide whether their lives are good or bad, and can even punish their manor stewards, is an out-and-out boss......

……

Franz nodded slightly to the serfs, but did not give a warm smile. In fact, it was not advisable to give a smile to the serfs.

In the officialdom of later generations, only very high-ranking officials would give a smile to ordinary people. And the grassroots cadres will basically deliberately keep a straight face. It's not that they're pretending, it's that they need it.

The big guy gives ordinary people a smile because the gap between the two is too big, and there is usually no intersection, and it is nothing to give you a smile, and you can still get a good reputation.

However, grassroots cadres, do you try to give ordinary smiling faces? Some people actually kick their noses in the face......

No matter which country the peasants are, they are all a little calculus. Moreover, there are thorns everywhere. It's okay for you to give an honest person a smile, but if you give a smile to a second-rate person in the village...... It's over, and I'm sure I'll be up to you......

Therefore, in later generations, to be a grassroots cadre, you must not only be able to do things, but also have a deterrent effect, and be able to suppress the second-rate people in the village. Even, there must be a certain amount of force......

However, this is not needed in the 21st century. Because, in those days, the male laborers in the village all went out to work. Even the second-rate people in the village went to the city to be abducted and deceived, and some even changed their ways and earned money by working. Therefore, in the 21st century, college students and village officials can get along. If it were the 20th century, when the second-rate people in the village stayed in their hometowns and were domineering, college students wanted to become village officials? Let's go and practice martial arts first. Otherwise, you won't be able to control the scene...... Back then, the village cadres were all made by fighting, or the clan surname was very strong, and many clan brothers could be called in a fight. Otherwise, don't try to do things well......

……

Of course, there are not many gangsters in the countryside of Beihai Country. After all, this is not the era of the rule of law, and hooligans can clean up without breaking the law. What's more, the peasants are all serfs, and they dare not blow up the thorns.

What the? Do you want to rebel? Wait a minute, I'll send someone to the town to call someone...... Soon, the 8,000 policemen trained by the 320 old brothers who had retired from Marin before will come to suppress it......

As far as Franz knew, there was a police station turret in the town of Mormorland, which contained 25 strong policemen......

……

After a slight nod with the villagers, Franz beckoned the cattle herders to drive the three borrowed cows to the cowshed to feed the grass. And he himself, with his hands behind his back, went to eat in a single room at the back of the cafeteria. Along the way, there were serfs who greeted him with bread and salted fish......

After all, it is the spring ploughing period, and now salted fish is distributed every day. After the serfs brought the salted fish home, they could eat it directly, or they could add some sauerkraut made of pickled cabbage and cook it. After all, everyone has an earthen stove at home.

……

In the afternoon, after the whole village had eaten and drunk, Franz and the serfs drove the ploughing cattle and continued to plow the soil......
