Chapter 128: Harvest
In fact, what Jia Lian knows is only the skin, and the life of the stove household is no longer just poor and can be described. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the old days, there was no organization of stove households, and there was free buying and selling between merchants and stove households.
Stove households are often exploited by salt merchants and oppressed by local evil forces, and live a turbulent life for a long time.
Not only do they have to pay salt to the government on time according to the population, but they also have to pay taxes, and many poor stove households are often forced to abandon their homes and flee because they can't pay enough taxes.
Of course, there are also rich and poor stove households, and there are different levels.
Just like the poor stove household, the former Qing Xiucai Xiao Xinshan compiled a ballad of "Ten Class Stove Households".
The first-class stove household should be the head of the stove, and he was willing to be a lackey for the salt merchants, all for himself.
The second-class stove household is a rich man, who does not wait for the salt payment to go to work, and is happy all year round.
Third-class stove households sell 'long-lasting', and they don't wait for the end of the year to make a price, and there is no new and old salt left.
The fourth-class stove household was a military division, and when he saw the salt money, he helped him drink and eat.
The fifth-class stove household jumped ship, self-exposed and self-sold, and the salt merchant couldn't manage it.
The sixth-class stove is heroic, and he will not spare the head of the stove, just like a mouse seeing a civet cat.
The seventh-class stove is really loose eggs, looking for the head of the stove and not meeting, and going to the squatting shop.
The eighth-class stove households were afraid of causing trouble, and they starved with salt snakes, and they didn't dare to make mistakes.
The ninth-class stove households barge salt late, and it is difficult to hire a boat in the cold and shallow water, and it is confiscated in front of you.
The tenth-class stove households sell salt flats, and there are a few pairs of plates, and the new and old debts are not repaid.
And most of these people in front of Jia Lian are eighty or ninety stove households.
They have no land and no craft, and the family survives on this ancestral skill, and even lives a precarious life. That's why the big man was swearing at the door.
Of course, there must be some people who add fuel to the fire, or even instigate and instigate.
Yandu County is the first stop of Jia Lian's harvest, and it is when everyone is eyeing it, and the emperor is probably waiting for the results of the experiment.
After all, Jia Lian's plan was ultimately based on the success of the experiment.
Now that you know the reason, it's easy to do.
Jia Lian thought about it, and Haosheng appeased everyone.
I also specially informed that this is only a test field, because it is used to measure production time and production volume, so there is no need for many people.
When the test is successful, it will fully recruit workers from stove households.
At that time, the wages will be directly based on fixed wages and output commissions, which will be much better than the tired and tired people who are now watching the sky and eating.
It's simpler than Jia Lian imagined.
The doubts of the crowd were only the doubts about whether he would honor the recruitment, and for the wages, these people's requirements were surprisingly simple.
Eat enough, drink enough, dress warmly, and can't freeze.
Jia Lian sighed, but even so, for the sake of the majesty of the officials, or for the other two places, the person who took the lead in making trouble could not escape punishment.
There is one counted, the one who did it with the salt worker just now, and the one who smashed the venue, especially the person who scolded Jia Lian just now.
Thirty boards per person, and the big man with the smelliest mouth at the head of the forty boards.
It's just that Jia Lian saw that they were pitiful and knew that they were poor, and it was estimated that he would not have money to see the injuries in the future, so he gave each of them five taels of silver.
First, he just killed chickens and monkeys, and did not mean to let them die.
The second is to show grace.
A slap and then a sweet date not only let people know that the official authority is not to be offended, but also to make people feel that he is kind-hearted.
Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng made him understand the importance of people's hearts and reputation.
The effect is also significant, as soon as the forty boards on the spot are finished, the silver is in hand, and the hundred and so people in the audience kneel on the ground again.
"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, the villain didn't know Taishan and collided with you before, but you didn't care about the villain, and you treated us so well."
There was emotion on his face, and the big man who pointed at Jia Lian's nose and scolded him before felt guilty on his face.
"The blue sky is above, I, Feng Fugui, swear, in the future, but with the dispatch of adults, even if it is on the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, the grass people will never retreat!"
Sonorous and powerful, the stupid big man slammed his head on the ground.
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, seeing that the effect was so good, he smiled and helped everyone with a smile, pretending to speak.
The one who was beaten was sent to treat his injuries, and the rest were in a mess, and they couldn't help it, so they hurriedly started to help one by one.
Because the Yantian here is an experiment, although there are more than Lin Ruhai's before, Jia Lian has not built much for the sake of convenient management.
A total of twenty acres of salt fields, looking at a piece of white flowers, used a tool similar to a pig bajie nine-tooth nail rake.
"Place the rake head down and let the salt grains come together."
Yang Shoucheng said and did at the same time, and the stove households had fast hands and feet, and their brains were flexible to learn from the side.
There are so many stove households, who dares to guarantee that Jia Lian will accept every one, but if it is in advance, there are always some advantages.
Originally, there was a salt worker on almost two or three acres of land, and except for the two old men who Lin Ruhai used in the experiment before, the rest were all cameos from Yandu County.
The stove households didn't think it was easy to do it when they saw everyone doing it before, but when they came out in person, they found that it seemed simple, but it was not easy to do.
I bowed my head and worked for a quarter of an hour, my back was burning as if it was about to burn, and I fried the salt indoors or in a shed.
There are many people with great strength, and one acre of salt is pushed into salt stacks, and the twenty snow-capped mountains of white flowers are like salt mountains, which makes Jia Lian happy.
All he saw in his later life were words, or the physics teacher talked about how to turn coarse salt into fine salt, and he did experiments.
So he really didn't know how much salt could be harvested in an acre of salt field.
But there are twenty piles on this hillside, and there will never be too little.
The salt pan is equipped with a large five-pole scale.
One pole weighs one acre of field, and the stove next to it is also staggering.
Except when the court came down to collect salt, they had never seen so much salt.
While rejoicing that Jia Lian was a good official, everyone went up to watch curiously.
The basket is almost half a person high, and two men who are nearly seven feet old carry it, one hundred and eighty-eight pounds on one back, and twelve baskets on one salt stack!
Even Jia Lian was taken aback.
One pound here is not ten taels, and one pound here is sixteen taels!
One hundred and eighty-one catties, rounded twelve baskets, that is, two thousand two hundred and fifty-six catties, in exchange for the later generations is more than three thousand six hundred catties, one mu of salt field more than three thousand six hundred catties??!
Everyone was stunned, looking at the fifteen salt stacks behind them that had not moved at all.
Of the five acres of land, the most collected salt was more than 3,000 catties, and the most was more than 3,800 catties of salt!
The average income per mu of salt fields is about 3,500 catties, and there are 20 acres of salt fields here!
70,000 catties!
Jia Lian was a little incredulous.
He knew that a lot of salt could be produced in the salt pan, but he never expected it to be so much.
I knew this earlier, not to say that I wouldn't dry it once I did it.
And this time they experimented, tides, weather, and other reasons.
So the time was a little late, according to the salt worker who experimented with Lin Ruhai.
If the weather is good, a batch of salt can be produced in ten days.
In addition to the weather, salt depends on seawater.
The sea is endless!
