Due to Wang Shouren's ability, at noon, the hustle and bustle here in Muchengyi finally began to cool down. [Full text reading]

There was a thick stack of papers on the table in front of Wang Shouren, which was his harvest, and these gains basically hollowed out the goods in the stomachs of the people present, so despite their reluctance, those present could only give up.

However, they were not too disappointed, Lord Wang said that the fundraising will last for a long time, as long as someone comes up with a new one, they can come to apply, which also reassures those who live far away, seeing that the companions who go back to pull people have not returned, they are also anxious, but at this time they are not in a hurry.

I was relieved at first, and soon everyone became nervous, because although the reward had been written down one by one, it had not yet been sent to my own hands, and I didn't get the silver in my hand, after all, it was just a number, who knows if the nobles will pay the bills?

So, when Lao Liu Tou stood up again and announced the future recruitment, everyone listened with bated breath, just like at the beginning.

“…… Now, let's talk about the distribution of rewards. "When it came to the most critical point, people suddenly became nervous, and the sound of heavy breathing came and went, even overpowering the sound of waves in the distance.

"General Fengjiang ordered, the reward for this recruitment is divided into two forms...... "Lao Liu Tou has recently been blessed with happy events, his spirit is very strong, and his voice is also very loud," the first is to distribute silver, this old man said, the villagers can also understand, remember it in black and white, how much should be how much, if there is a choice of this mode, wait here to receive silver. ”

Old Liu Tou shook a few pieces of paper in his hand, which recorded the list of rewards, and after speaking, he pointed to the door of the post station, many people had already noticed that there was a wooden box at the feet of those soldiers, and it was supposed to be filled with silver.

Old Liu's words caused a stirring in the crowd, and the sound of exhalation and irrepressible chuckles converged, and the atmosphere became warm again.

Most of the people in a village are related to each other, and even if they don't, they usually take care of each other, so even if they don't have a harvest at home, they are happy to see their neighbors or relatives in the same village get a lottery. Of course, there are jealousies or something, but after all, it is not the mainstream, and the people of this era are still quite simple.

By the time one of the thugs opened the box under his feet, revealing a bright silver color, the atmosphere reached its highest point, and in the glow of the midday sun, it was impossible not to indulge in it.

"The second way is to grant land!"

"Wow!" This time the exclamation was even louder, no matter how much silver there was, it would always run out, and the land would be different, it was the source of endless life, far from being comparable to a little silver.

But the reality is cruel, and before everyone began to look forward to it, Lao Liu Tou immediately poured cold water on them: "The field granted is a wasteland......

"......" wasteland? Who wants wasteland for what? Everyone was stunned.

"The reward of one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a share of ten acres of wasteland, and the government provides tools and livestock, and after the harvest, only fifty percent of the tax is collected that year, and if you save money and buy tools and livestock in the future, it will be changed to thirty percent." Old Liu Tou said to himself.

Fifty percent? Thirty percent? Tools and livestock are also provided? Such conditions are not bad, if it was in the past, the people of Jinzhou would definitely agree without thinking about it. Compared to the previous rules, such conditions are like pie in the sky.

No one here is afraid of hard work, although the reclamation of wasteland is tiring, and the family can't reclaim a few acres in a year, but it is their own property, and who will be afraid of hard work.

It's just that the nobles may not have been in Jinzhou, and the port is building ships, maybe after the ship is built, the people will leave, and the wasteland that everyone has worked so hard to reclaim is afraid that it will also be listed as a military tun, isn't that a waste of work? For more than 100 years, Daming has been such a rule, how can it be changed? Or cash is more affordable.

Besides, who knows if this is the noble man who deceives people? It is related to his own interests, no matter how simple a person is, he will become shrewd, even if Xie Hong's reputation is not bad after coming to Jinzhou, but everyone is still suspicious of him.

"Uncle Liu, if you don't want wasteland, ...... now Can I get a prize? Someone asked boldly.

"Yes, those who want to receive the reward come with me, and those who want to receive the land should go to the king." Lao Liu Tou glanced around the crowd, paused slightly when he saw a certain place, nodded and smiled, and then didn't say much, and happily led everyone to the silver box.

Seeing that the silver of the white flowers had arrived, a burst of enthusiastic cheers broke out in the crowd, everyone had been poor for a long time, and Leng Ding was excited when he saw the real money.

However, there are also people who react differently, and the two people in Zhaojiacun are such special cases.

The two of them had a solemn expression, as if they were thinking about something; The other had a look of anxiety on his face, his head turned around, and from time to time he looked eagerly at the place where he had received the reward, and his body was twisting and turning, and if he had not been dragged by his companions, he would have rushed over like an arrow from a string.

"Brother Yuzi, what do you have to think about receiving the reward, you should hurry up, it would be bad if someone took the reward silver."

"What's the panic, hundreds of thousands of taels have been sent out, and you can be worse than these five taels? You don't use your brain, that noble man put on such a big battle and scattered so much silver, could it be that it was done to join in the fun? Zhao Yu shouted in a low voice, adding another handful of strength to his hand, showing his firm determination.

"What Brother Leftover said is, but what does this have to do with us receiving the reward?" From the strength coming from his body, Leng Zi felt the determination of his companion, and he couldn't break away from the left and right, and his companion's words made sense, and he also stopped struggling and asked blankly.

"It doesn't matter, if your five taels of silver become a land, it will be fifty acres! Let me ask you, how much grain can be produced in a year on 50 acres of land? ”

Speaking of the side, Leng Zi may not be able to answer, but when it comes to things in the field, it is Men Qing'er, he counted with his fingers: "If God blesses, there is no famine, one acre of land can at least harvest one stone of grain, if the year is good, even if it is two or three stones, fifty acres is ...... A hundred stone of grain? ”

Speaking of the back, his eyes widened, and he was startled by himself, mother! Hugh said a hundred stones, even fifty stones, that's quite remarkable.

One stone in the Ming Dynasty is one hundred and twenty catties in later generations, if a family can collect fifty stones a year, it is six thousand catties, basically even if it is a well-off family, food and clothing is definitely no problem, and even the family can be for a scholar to come out.

"Let's count less, even if it is fifty stones, and then deduct the tax, it will be twenty-five stones, and if we divide it between two families, one family will have more than ten stones...... Let me ask you again, how much grain can I buy for five taels of silver? Zhao Yu asked again.

"Ten stones." This is easy to calculate, one tael of silver and two stones, five taels is about ten stones, of course, the price of rice is fluctuating, and it cannot be completely accurate, but it is generally good.

"More than ten stones a year is better, or ten stones at a time, don't you understand? What's more, the noble man scattered so much silver and went out, and I am afraid that the price of grain in the left vicinity will rise a little, and I am afraid that your five taels of silver may not even be able to buy ten stone of grain, so what is there to hesitate about? ”

"But......" Leng Zi was a little moved, but when he looked around, everyone was concentrated in Lao Liutou, and it was cold and deserted in front of Lord Wang, so he still hesitated, "Brother Yuzi, everyone else has received the silver, is there anything to say here?" ”

"The is all rat-eyed." Zhao Yu spat out, and he also thought of the calculations of others, but as the old saying goes: wealth and wealth are sought in danger!

As long as the noble person is here for a year, the capital will be recovered, if it is two years, three years, or never left, then the two of them will completely turn over and live a good life, unless he leaves within the year, otherwise there is always a hope.

"Moreover, the two of us are not enough to open up wasteland, that's fifty acres!" Leng Zi didn't think much about it, his companion was very shrewd, even if his mother didn't say that he was convinced. Take today as an example, if Zhao Yu hadn't pulled him here, where would there be a reward of five taels of silver?

However, wasteland is not cooked land, and the yield in the first year is not as good as that of cooked land, and it is much more difficult to cultivate and cultivate. If it is 50 acres of familiar land, Lengzi feels that as long as he is diligent, he can be busy with hard work; But it is difficult to reclaim fifty acres of wasteland, and he and Zhao Yu together can't do it.

"This ...... There's always a way. Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, he is not proficient in crop work, it does not mean that he knows nothing, he knows that the effort to reclaim wasteland is at least two or three times that of cultivating cooked land, and the two of them are really not good, and it is the same to pull the old people in the family.

However, thinking of the second hint given to him by Lao Liutou, and then thinking of the meaningful look and smile of the other party at the end, Zhao Yu still made up his mind.

When everyone hesitated at first, he reacted quickly and immediately asked Lengzi to come out and answer the question, but he didn't think that this was the so-called cleverness, and even if he hadn't done it, things wouldn't have been any different.

On the contrary, the current situation is more in line with the prompt, there is no one who receives the field, if the two of them go to take the lead, maybe there will be some other benefits, why not do it?

As for what Leng Zi said, it is indeed very reasonable, but it is still the same sentence, if you want to be rich, you have to take some risks, there will always be a way, you don't have it, and the noble man is afraid that there is also it.

"Lord Wang, our brother wants to grant the field!" Zhao Yu pulled his companion and walked quickly in front of Wang Shouren, and said without hesitation: "Moreover, since everyone has received the reward, I ...... Can you get more land? Although he mustered up his courage, when he made the request, Zhao Yu was still a little worried, and the last sentence was very hesitant.

"Oh?" Wang Shouren was very lonely here, but he didn't have the annoyance of being ignored, he just looked through the recorded scrolls there, and was still writing and painting from time to time, and when he heard Zhao Yu's words, he raised his head, looked at the two of them slightly, and said calmly:

"Since there is no one to receive, it is not impossible for you to receive more, but the ugly words have to be said in the front, if you receive a share and do not reclaim it, then all the shares will be withdrawn, and there will be additional penalties. Do you still want this? ”

Zhao Yu was a little confused, he felt that his request was a bit excessive, and he would be nervous when he said it, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, looking at Wang Shouren's somewhat playful smile, he hesitated again.

"If you don't have faith, forget it." Wang Shouren smiled slightly, and did not leave any difficulty, but persuaded Zhao Yu to leave to receive the reward, as if his side was overcrowded.

Zhao Yu made a mistake at this time, crossed his heart, and said loudly with his neck stalked: "No, my lord, I want to receive a share of 100 acres, if the reclamation is not completed, I am willing to be punished!" ”

"Wow!" Hearing the movement here, everyone was in an uproar, this kid from Zhaojiacun is usually very shrewd, why did he make a mistake today? One hundred acres, even if these two people become cattle, plus a cow provided by the government, they can't be reclaimed, it's wasteland!

"Then let's make a note." Wang Shouren's expression was still faint.

"Medium!" This time, Zhao Yu was obviously completely out of the way, and he didn't hesitate at all.
