There are a lot of 1,300 acres of land, at least Zhang Yi feels that it is difficult to completely plant crops on it unless the dozens of people in his family are driving walk-behind tractors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Old Zhong, how did our family's previous land be arranged?"

"Young master, our family used to rent to the families on the farm, and our family is more generous and only collects fifty percent of the rent!" Old Zhong replied as he stood aside.

Fifty percent rent? Zhang Yi couldn't help but secretly speak, he had long known that renting land to farmers in ancient times required a certain fee, but now when he heard Lao Zhong say this, he was almost scared half to death! This is the harvest of a year's hard work, and you just take half of it for nothing, which is even darker than Africans, and you are embarrassed to say it kindly.

Of course, if the person collecting the rent is himself, then also. OK.. Reluctantly accept it, after all, who would have too much money?

But even so, Zhang Yi still asked: "What about other people's homes?" ”

"So that the young master can know that the average rich family collects sixty percent of the rent, and some black-hearted ones even have to collect sixty percent and fifty, seventy percent!" Lao Zhong scolded those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, while being proud of his family's goodness and virtue.

No wonder they all say that the people are bitter, no wonder they all say that they are rich and unkind, Zhang Yi simply doesn't know how those tenants who rent land rely on the few surplus grains to survive. This was an era of extremely low productivity, which was recorded in the New Tang Dynasty Book and Food Chronicles: "Han Chonghua was used as an envoy to Zhenwu, Jingxi Yingtian, Heliang, and water transportation,...... Recruit people for 15 tuns, 130 people per tun, and people cultivate 100 acres,...... More than 3,850 hectares of land are cultivated, and 200,000 stones of millet are harvested every year. ”

According to the calculation of this material, the total cultivated land of the tuntian is 1950 hectares, and the combined yield per mu is 1.025 stones, which is converted to about 61 kilograms per mu. However, such a yield must also meet three conditions, the first must be the field, if it is the middle field or the field per mu yield also needs to be discounted, the second must be a good year with good weather conditions, if in case of a natural disaster or man-made disaster, then it needs to be discounted, and the third must also be carefully served, because at that time it was not popular to fertilize, if the weeds absorb more nutrients that should be grain, the yield will be discounted.

When you meet all the conditions, according to a family of five, including the elderly and children, all participate in planting, then their maximum amount of labor is only about 30 acres. According to the output, the annual output of these 50 acres of land is about 1,800 kilograms, and when the 1,800 kilograms of grain are paid half of the rent, only 900 kilograms are left for the family's annual living.

Generally speaking, if a family can get 500 kilograms of food every year, it will be regarded as an ancestral apparition.

This account must be calculated, as soon as it is calculated, Zhang Yi immediately softened, he still received the socialist ideological education, he still can't do this kind of thing of eating people without spitting out bones, he thought about it before saying to Lao Zhong: "In the future, our family will collect the rent according to 30%!" ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, as if he thought he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Young master, are you talking about whether we will collect 30% or leave 30% for the tenants?" ”

"Let's keep 30%!" Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said to Lao Zhong: "The Zhang family's land is not small, and leaving 20% can also protect our family's same fine clothes and food, but for those tenants, they can have a good year!" I don't know about other families, but we collect so much here, maybe some people will laugh at us for being stupid, laughing at us for being stupid, but you have to be clear, people have feelings, when blindly obtaining and stingy giving, then both the country and the family are just a wall that will fall down when the wind blows! ”

Saying that, Zhang Yi pointed to the villagers who were hiding behind the big trees in the distance and looking this way: "You see, they all know that my lord is here, their eyes are full of respect for us and full of fear, they respect because I am the master of this land, and the fear is that I will exploit them strictly, but they don't have the kind of emotion I want!" ”

Old Zhong couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Thanksgiving! Sincere gratitude! Zhang Yiyun left a sentence lightly, and then strode towards the village behind the tree.

Although he didn't know what his young master meant, this did not prevent Lao Zhong from strictly enforcing it, after all, the young master could return to Chang'an as a rogue in Lingnan, and he could also earn the title of viscount From this point of view, he felt that the wisdom of the young master was not something that ordinary people could be courteous at all, and no matter what he did, it must have deep meaning.

When Zhang Yi walked up to the villagers, the buzzing sound of communication immediately disappeared, and was replaced by silence.

"What? I'm not welcome everybody? Zhang Yi smiled and said to everyone.

"No... Not! ”

.....

Everyone was a little panicked, and they wanted to retreat, but there was no way back.....

After all, how to retreat, unless they don't rent the land of the Zhang family, otherwise, what's the use of retreating? In fact, they also knew that what should come will come, and since the moment the tax collector came, they already knew that this land had another owner, and they would face another judgment in their lives.

This is the sorrow of the farmers, they have no land, or only a small amount of land, so they can only parasitize on the rich households, they do not have any resistance to natural and man-made disasters, just a cold or a great drought, they have no way out....

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Yi, and I am the son of Jingyang County enveloped by His Majesty, that is, the owner of this land!"

As soon as the words came out, there was no surprise on the faces of the dealers, and they seemed to be numb and still quietly waiting for Zhang Yi's next words.

Looking at the soulless and soulless face in front of him, Zhang Yi suddenly wanted to make these people less sad, and it was actually quite good to feed themselves when they could eat enough, so he pointed to the old Zhong who followed and introduced: "This is my housekeeper, you can call him Steward Zhong in the future, I think you need to remember his face, because in the future, he will be responsible for paying rent or anything else!" However, since you are all my dealers, the rules are naturally indispensable, and the rent that should be paid must be paid, and the annual rent is set at 30%! ”

"Wow! ~~~”

Immediately the crowd exploded!

Thirty percent, how is it possible?

No one believes their ears, even the cheapest land has to pay 50% of the rent, but.... The lord actually said that he would pay thirty percent!
