"What did you say, that young lady said that you two can get eight taels of silver a month?"

Luo Erzhu, who had just finished the registration, looked incredulous at this time. After listening to his mother-in-law talk about the salary offered by the young officer, he has always been this stupid.

It's no wonder that Luo Erzhu has such a reaction, because such a salary is really beyond his expectations.

In the Ming Dynasty, when working for the landlord's wealthy family, generally speaking, maids and servants did not have so much salary.

Even if it is the lady's personal maid, she eats and stays, and it is already a very good master to have five dollars of silver a month.

"It's God who opens his eyes, and there are definitely eight taels of silver a month. What are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and go to the master's house with Chunxi to do something. If this is delayed, the errand will be gone if the master's family is not a piece. ”

After Luo Erzhu came to his senses, he immediately began to urge his mother-in-law to go back quickly.

Luo Liu nodded: "Miss said, Chunxi and I have one day off in a month." When it's time to rest, we can come out for a walk. So I'll come back then, and you'll have to take care of yourself when you're home alone. ”

Luo Liu looked at her husband distressedly and instructed seriously.

Luo Erzhu nodded again and again: "I'm such a big person, and I'm not a child." Don't worry, I won't have any problems alone. Our family will be able to get fifteen acres of land at that time, and when you have paid the monthly silver, remember to take it back and I will praise it and buy a cow. ”

Luo Liu's heart is also very happy, although the land has not yet been distributed, but just listening to it is very comfortable.

Fifteen acres of land.

In the past, when I was in Daming, I only had two acres of land.

However, in the end, these two acres of land were not left, and they were finally sold to a local landlord.

As a peasant woman, Luo Liu certainly knew what fifteen acres of land meant.

With these fifteen acres of land. As long as they take care of it, then their family will no longer have to worry about it in the future.

People, isn't that what it takes?

Don't seek to be rich and rich, just to be able to live peacefully.

It can be said that the needs of the people of the Ming Dynasty in this era are very simple and simple.

What's more, Luo Liu and his daughter Chunxi also found a good errand. You can get eight taels of silver a month, as long as you do things well, this money will be praised to buy land and cattle when the time comes. Then there is hope for life at home.

"Miss said that someone would leave you an address, and if you have anything to do, go to the city to find us." , Luo Liu left Luo Erzhu with some reluctance.

Luo Erzhu looked at his wife's distant figure, and his heart was excited and worried.

"Your name is Luo Erzhu?"

After his wife left, even if Luo Erzhu was reluctant, he could only pack up his mood and start doing serious things.

Because he has already registered, all he has to do now is to follow the instructions and go to the Jinshan City office to inquire about the land distribution.

This thing. It is very important for Luo Erzhu.

That's fifteen acres of land.

Although I don't know if Langdao is a high-quality fertile land, or that kind of barren land.

But in any case, it is always good to have land.

Even if it is a barren kind of land, Luo Erzhu will not dislike it.

Wait until Luo Erzhu comes to the Ministry of Agriculture of Jinshan City. The young clerk sitting behind his desk looked up at him and asked.

Luo Erzhu handed over a piece of paper in his hand, otherwise the other party might not know him.

This piece of paper. It is Luo Erzhu's information file, which clearly shows Luo Erzhu's family population, as well as some other information.

After the other Ming immigrants finished their records. will be the same as Luo Erzhu and get this document paper.

You must know that this document will be included in the Jinshan City Archives Management Office at the least.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that the other party asked, Luo Erzhu hurriedly responded respectfully.

"Your family should be divided into fifteen acres of land, but it shows that your family is only three people, except for you one man, your wife and children. Although your wife is an adult, the child is only six years old, so it is obviously not possible for her to work in the fields. So even if you work fifteen acres of land, you can't finish it, right? ”

What the clerk of the Ministry of Agriculture said is also very realistic.

Luo Erzhu's family does not have a large population, and if he is strong, he is just one person.

Even if he added his wife and two people came to serve fifteen acres of land together, it would not be enough.

Besides, now that his wife has been hired by a young officer, then the fifteen acres of land will be taken by Luo Erzhu alone in the future.

It's going to kill you.

When Luo Erzhu heard this, he thought that something would go wrong with this matter.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, "My lord, I can do it alone." When I was at home, I farmed, and there was absolutely nothing I couldn't do. As long as the adults divide the fifteen acres of land, I will have a way to serve them. “

Fifteen acres of land, Luo Erzhu didn't want to have any accidents because of his own reasons.

Even if you are tired, what does it matter, you are originally a farmer.

It's a big deal, what if you're tired when the time comes.

As a farmer, farming is your duty, isn't it?

Besides, in the future, fifteen acres of land will be your own, and no matter how tired you are, you will not complain.

Farming and eating, it is a point of hard work and a point of harvest, which is directly proportional to the sweat that drips.

"Don't worry, I'm just afraid you'll be tired alone." , glanced at Luo Erzhu, who was a little flustered, the clerk of the Ministry of Agriculture guessed Luo Erzhu's mental activities, so he explained a little.

"Not tired, not tired." , Luo Erzhu said again and again.

"We have farming tools and cattle here, you can apply if you need them. With your family's situation, there is a good chance that the application will be approved. Would you like to give it a try? “

The clerk of the Ministry of Agriculture looked at Luo Erzhu very seriously and asked.

Ming immigrants like Luo Erzhu, when they came to Jinshan City, they were poor and had nothing.

But if they had anything, they wouldn't have been brought to the Golden Mountain City of America.

It is precisely because they went bankrupt and had nothing, and they caught up with the famine. So in order to survive, he left his hometown and went outside to find a way to live.

Therefore, even if the land is allocated to them at the moment, they can only stare dryly if they don't have farm tools.

Fortunately, Wang Shan has already considered this problem and asked the Ministry of Agriculture of Jinshan to come up with a solution.

That is to provide farm tools and cattle to these Ming immigrants, so that they can devote themselves to production and life in the shortest possible time.

Of course, this is not a free obligation.

Wang Shan doesn't have such noble and great feelings, and at the same time he is not an idiot.

So, farming tools and ploughing cattle or something. will be provided to Daming immigrants according to the actual value. But considering these Ming immigrants, there is nothing now.

Therefore, it is okay not to provide money for the time being, and it can be slowly deducted from their income in the future.

"This, this, I don't know how to return it if I use it?"

For this point, Luo Erzhu is still a little moved.

After all, he also knew his current situation. If you don't have farming tools, even if you have land, you can only watch it. At the same time, if you have a ploughing ox or something, then fifteen acres of land is not a problem.

It's just that he doesn't know what will happen if he owes these things on credit.

I thought of the time when Daming was a tenant for the landlord's family. Luo Erzhu was a little uninterested in the fact that he had to repay three buckets of rice if he borrowed one bucket of rice.

However, it's always okay to ask.

The clerk of the Ministry of Agriculture lowered his head and wrote some words, then looked up at Luo Erzhu and said, "The price of a set of farm tools is twenty-three taels of silver." A ploughing ox is sixty-eight taels, and if the feed and seeds are provided together, then the total is one hundred and four taels of silver......

,

Ooh!

Luo Erzhu was taken aback.

Farm implements and cattle prices in the Americas. It's a lot higher than Daming's side.

This is only the price provided to yourself, not how much you need to pay back when you pay it back.

Therefore, Luo Erzhu was not interested at the moment.

However, just as Luo Erzhu was thinking about how to refuse, the clerk continued: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you first listen to me settle an account for you, and then it's not too late for you to make a decision." “

"Your family will be divided into fifteen acres of land, and if you want to grow food, we will provide good seeds. The yield of these seeds per mu can reach 1,500 catties, and if you calculate according to fifteen acres of land, you can harvest 22,500 catties a year. “

Luo Erzhu, and some other Ming immigrants who had already finished recording and came here to line up, all grew their mouths, and shocked expressions appeared on their faces.

The yield per mu is 15,000, this is a myth.

Most of them were farmers, and they knew the land all too well.

In the Ming Dynasty, even if the season was good, the grain produced by the high-quality fertile land was only more than 300 catties.

The output of more than 300 catties is absolutely high.

The yield per mu is 15,000, which is a fucking myth at all.

However, the clerk of the Ministry of Agriculture ignored the people who were already stunned, and continued to talk on his own.

"Of course, according to your Da Ming's algorithm, this may be a little different. The unit of measurement on our side is decimal and yours on hexadecimal. “

"But I can guarantee that your income in a year will definitely be more than two hundred taels of silver. What's more, after the harvest of grain in the fall, you can also replant some potatoes or something, which is also a good income. Moreover, our Ministry of Agriculture will purchase it in a unified manner, and there will be no situation where grain cannot be sold. As for the price of the unified purchase, it should fluctuate between one or two taels of silver and one or two or four coins of silver this year, so ah......"

Seriously, everyone will settle this account.

The yield per mu is 15,000, which is at least 10 stone of grain.

Even according to the price of Daming, one stone of grain has one, two, two or three dollars.

In this way, one acre of land can have an income of ten taels of silver.

People like Luo Erzhu's family are a minority after all, and some families have a lot of land because of their large population.

Then, even if you owe more than 100 taels of debt, as long as you work hard, you can pay it off in three years at most.

This is still a conservative estimate.

Therefore, many people are moved.

Even Luo Erzhu calculated it in his heart...... (To be continued......)
