Chapter 108: The Value of People
There is less land belonging to the royal family, and there are naturally fewer people who need it.
Most of the time, these tenant farmers will be transferred to the nobles' homes along with the fields or land, unless there are particularly outstanding farmers in it, and those who have previously established merit will be picked up additionally, so the serfs or tenant farmers who remain in the royal family are becoming more and more elite.
As for the ordinary peasants, they will slowly move to Xungui's house.
Genes are inherited, so on the whole, the quality of serfs and tenant farmers in the Forestry Department is relatively good.
What's more, they have access to the most advanced agricultural research and have more insight than ordinary farmers.
Environment, sometimes more important than your IQ.
Xungui's family also has people who need to be placed, and they will not accept it all, so there are more and more farmer's islands in the royal garden.
What's more, the premature mortality rate of their children is also lower than that of the outside, and as a result, their population is much higher than before.
It also has a longer lifespan than the outside. The large number of children and the long life expectancy are very burdensome for farmers, and it is difficult to drown babies and reduce the burden in the Forestry Department.
As for birth control, what ordinary people can do is only to separate rooms.
Fan Jingjing's behavior of asking for children, the elderly, and women is considered a fool's behavior by people in the Shanghai Forestry Department.
"By the way, if it's a girl, try to use a girl, women don't have to pay taxes, and I can't afford too many people's taxes right now. There are other miscellaneous servants to pay! ”
"Women don't have enough strength...... Aren't you going to let them farm? ”
"It's good to be able to take care of the little ones, but they don't have enough energy, and they can pass on my skills.
Women don't have enough strength, and I will find a way to make some equipment to make up for it.
I'm going to let them produce a relatively low amount of production. What's more, the money that can be earned by skills will not be less. ”
When it comes to Fan Jingjing's skills, Niu Shijin can only shut up. Fan Jingjing's skills are indeed more appropriate to pass on to women.
Niu Shijin reminded that it was actually kind, because in this era, the grain grown by farmers could not be eaten at all after paying taxes.
They will fertilize, but the efficiency of fertilization is not optimal.
One more population to support will generate a lot of taxes, and Fan Jingjing can't sell her jewelry every day to feed these people!
"You underestimate them, the ancestors of these people may be capable people, they are criminal officials or their families, and these people's families may still have some skills.
Maybe if you want to find a literate farmer, it is not too difficult to find a forest officer. ”
At this time, Fan Jingjing still believes that people are people, not population, and for Niu Shijin, he thinks that most of the people are people, and only a small number of people are people.
Fan Jingjing feels that as long as there are enough tools, all people can become human hands and produce profits, so the more people gather around, the more people she can get from some profits, although every profit is small, but the more people there are, the more profits can be turned into a lot of profits.
Fan Jingjing knew that in the feudal dynasty, it was actually very dangerous to gather too many male populations, because even though she was a woman, she would still be thought to have some thoughts in her heart.
But if you take some widows, widows, orphans, sick people, children, and women, then they will be considered great benevolent people, because no one will think that these people can produce more than the cost of raising them.
After Fan Jingjing said something badly, coupled with Niu Feiling's explanation, Niu Shijin had no choice, so he had to find a way to keep up with the Forestry Department and ask some people to come over.
Although Niu Shijin is just a pawn, his family background is there, and he wants superfluous people, which is a good thing for the Forestry Department, and those who are officials will not embarrass him.
It's just that farmers are generally reluctant to go out of the Forestry Department, because the treatment of the Forestry Department, if they are not oppressed by the officials, is much better than the treatment of ordinary people outside.
Hearing that the future owner is a woman, some of the old people or children who have been kicked out (most of them are girls), are the so-called leftovers.
They come out resigned to their fate in order to give their children and grandchildren or their parents a better life.
Give them less food, and you can feed them a little more.
In their hearts they are very sad, because they feel that they are dead end.
Sun Erlang is a thirty-year-old strong man, and he is also on the list this time.
There are not many lists, but there are only hundreds of people. More people, Fan Jingjing felt that she couldn't control it.
The first batch of people must be dealt with by her personally, because she does not have management talents under her and others After being trained, although there are more and more people in the future, she will be more and more relaxed, and the most important thing is that she must have handy subordinates before she can let others do it.
A consensual subordinate is like an extension of the will.
In the Tang Dynasty, compared with modern times, there is an advantage that the Tang Dynasty people are easy to work for others, as long as you give enough benefits and enough kindness, people may work for you because of your kindness.
It is not easy for ordinary people to live, and the more difficult it is for people, the easier it is to feel how rare the life you give him, and the more grateful they will be.
Fan Jingjing got this insight from the two old men, since she discovered that the water vapor condensed from the water balloon has a special spiritual quality and can make the body better and better, she began to help the two old people condense a glass of water every day and let the two old people drink it.
And to put it plainly, this is a good medicine for the two old people to improve their health.
No matter what kind of medicinal herb it is, in this era, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to eat, even in Chang'an, ordinary people who can eat snacks on the road every day cannot boil medicine and eat it every day.
Therefore, most people can only use their bodies to survive when they are sick, and if they can't survive, they can only die.
To live is to be grateful, to live happily, that is a great gift, to become a noble person, why will everyone seize this opportunity to find a way to expand their advantages, because "poor" is really too bitter, this kind of suffering is the kind of helplessness for life.
They don't even have an idea of what it means to be well-fed.
For the two old people, letting them eat well is the greatest kindness, for this kindness they are willing to knot, do their best to do things for Fan Jingjing, not to mention that Fan Jingjing let their bodies "rejuvenate".
The poor of later generations really cannot be said to be poor. Even if someone gives them something superfluous, they will take it for granted.
When Fan Jingjing brought these more than 100 people home, no one had a smile on their faces.
Fan Jingjing wanted to comfort them and say that you would have a good life soon, but suddenly thought that the place where more than 100 people lived had not yet been settled, not to mention that they were greeted with a wasteland that they needed to reclaim with their own hands.
The concept of the Tang Dynasty people is not as good as the ripe field.
