After saying these things, Long Chuan hurriedly slipped out of his mother's arm and said, "Father, mother, it's not too early, the child has retired." ”

Long Zheng said: "It's almost noon, why are you leaving?"

Long Chuan said "uh" and said carefully: "Dad, mother, the child wants to go back to his place for lunch today." ”

Long Zheng turned his face and said, "No, you are here today to have lunch with us." The Father has something to ask you. ”

Xiao Qing laughed in Long Chuan's mind: "Long Chuan, this is a bit too much, right?

Li Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "Chuan'er, if you have any other ideas, just tell your father and mother." Otherwise, your father won't let you go. ”

Dragon Biography: "......"

Long Chuan himself also felt that he had indeed said a little too much today. Many things are things that have not yet appeared in this plane, or at least in the city of the Four Directions. Afterwards, I had to be interrogated by my father. However, what Shicai saw and heard along the way, if Long Chuan turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, Long Chuan really couldn't do it.

"Death is death!" After Long Chuan said a sentence in his heart, he asked: "Mother, you seem to have said before that most soldiers don't have any fields in their homes, right?"

Li Yun nodded and said, "Yes." Most of the poor families do not have their own land. ”

Long Chuan asked, "Mother, didn't we give them the land in Dongcheng?"

After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other, Li Yun smiled and said: "You kid, you are talking stupid things again! How can the fields be given to others? The fields are all earned by their ancestors and then passed on to their descendants, or bought. ”

Long Chuan then asked, "Then can't those poor people go to open up the wasteland? When we went to Xihe, the child saw that there were many barren mountains. ”

Li Yun smiled again: "Chuan'er, every piece of land in our Dongcheng, including barren mountains and lakes, is a land with a lord. If it's not your own place, how can you just go to open up wasteland?"

Long Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Father, mother, did those meritorious soldiers reward them with some land or something?"

Long Zheng said: "Only generals with great merit will have some land at home. Ordinary meritorious soldiers are rewarded with military salaries. ”

Long Chuan asked again: "Then the fields in our eastern city are all in the hands of some powerful people?"

Li Yun nodded and said, "Yes." Ordinary people, even if their ancestors have handed down some thin fields, they may not be able to keep them. ”

Long Chuan asked, "Why?"

Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, farming, one is to need strong labor, the other is to need some livestock to assist in farming, and also to irrigate the land. For ordinary people, the cost of raising livestock is too high to be cost-effective. Ordinary people are even less likely to have their own watering ground. If you want to keep the property, it is not easy to say. ”

Long Chuan asked, "Mother, what do ordinary people do for a living?"

Li Yun said: "Ordinary people mainly make a living by renting the fields of large families. Some people who have skills, like the man who sells roasted cakes today, do a little business to supplement their households. ”

Hearing this, Long Chuan was completely determined. At this time, Sifang City was indeed still in the era of feudal society, and it was an evil old society. To put it bluntly, ordinary people mainly do long-term work for people.

Long Chuan asked tentatively: "Mother, according to what you say, in the East City, our Long family's fields must be the most?"

Li Yun smiled: "That's nature. Our Long family has been in charge of Dongcheng for thousands of years, and at least more than half of the land in the city belongs to our Long family. ”

Long Chuan sweated wildly in his heart, and said in his heart, the biggest landlord in Dongcheng is really the Long family. Fortunately, he didn't rashly say what he said about fighting landlords and fighting local tyrants. Otherwise, I will first have to be beaten by my own father and mother.

Li Yun continued: "Chuan'er, many people in our Long family have their own land. You have it too. ”

Long Chuan asked in surprise, "Ahh

Long Zheng smiled: "You are the son of your father, so you naturally have your own land." When your mother was still pregnant with you, the two ancestors had already helped you set aside a piece of land. After you were born, the two ancestors saw that you were a boy and helped you draw more. ”

Long Chuan didn't need to ask, he knew that this was another patriarchal mentality.

The dragon legend said, "Father, mother, where is the child's field? How big is it? Is anyone cultivating it?"

Li Yun smiled and said, "Chuan'er, your land is just west of our East City. It's about the same size as our Dragon Mansion. However, there are not so many houses among them, mainly fields. That piece of land, but the two ancestors specially set aside, are all good paddy fields, and there are many trees on the mountain. There are two stewards in charge. The harvest has been good in recent years. ”

When the dragon rumored this, he suddenly felt a frenzy in his heart. Oh my God! An area the size of a dragon's mansion! If this were placed in another time and space, it would be comparable to a small county town. When I wanted to be in another time and space, I struggled for more than ten years to pay off the bank loan for a small dwelling. In those first-tier cities, it is a small dwelling, so how many dreamers dream back at midnight, full of tears!

"Snail dwelling, house, etc.!" Long Chuan's heart had a new idea. However, let's settle the matter of the field first.

Long Chuan asked: "Mother, the children's fields are now rented to ordinary poor families?"

Li Yun nodded and said, "Yes." It's all rented by some ordinary people in the neighborhood. ”

Long Chuan reasoned his thoughts for a moment and said, "Father, mother, the child has a request, and I want to ask my father and mother to agree. ”

Long Zheng said: "You say. ”

Long Chuan stood up, bowed to his parents, and said, "The child is rude, I want to ask my father and mother to let the child make his own decisions and arrange his own land." ”

After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other again, Li Yun said, "Chuan'er, tell me, how do you plan to arrange those fields?"

The dragon legend said: "Father, mother, the child wants to contract out those fields. ”

Li Yun said: "What do you mean by contracting?"

Long Chuan sweated a little in his heart, and said: "The child means to divide those fields to ordinary people, so that they can pay food to the child according to the original proportion. ”

Li Yun got up from his chair and said, "Distribute it to others? How can it be done? Besides, let them pay the grain according to the original proportion, what is the difference between it and now?"

Long Chuan walked over, hugged Li Yun, asked her to sit back in the chair, and said, "Mother, you listen to the child first." The child does not mean to give the property to someone else. The child thought that he would contract them to farm in a period of ten years. During these ten years, what is planted in the field and how it is planted is completely up to the contractor. All the children asked was that they pay the children according to their original proportions. The rest of the harvest goes to the contractor. If they receive more, they keep more. ”

Long Zheng and Li Yun frowned at the same time, and after thinking for a while, Long Zheng said: "Chuan'er, your method sounds no different from the current method of renting seeds?

Long Chuan smiled in his heart, and said in his heart, this is the gap between vision and experience. Contracting the land to those ordinary people, in the past ten years, those land is equivalent to their own. How can planting one's own land be the same as planting other people's land? In another time and space, the enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of peasants aroused by Grandpa Deng's trick back then was clear to Long Chuan.

It's like working in a company. In the enterprise, the hardest working person is always the boss. The reason is simple. Because the business is the boss's own. This is also why, in order to stimulate the maximum fighting spirit of employees, many companies allocate shares to employees.

The dragon legend said, "Father, mother, if you are not at ease, can you let the child try it for a year? ”

Long Zheng and Li Yun remembered the instructions of the two ancestors, and after looking at each other again, Li Yun said, "Okay, Chuan'er." Since you want to try, my mother will let you try it once. However, my mother and you have a word first. After a year, if the harvest of your fields is not as good as before, your mother will not allow you to mess around anymore. Those fields are the foundation of your future life. Mother can't let you spoil them. ”

Long Chuan bowed to Li Yun and said happily: "Thank you, Auntie!" Then he bowed to Long Zheng again and said, "Thank you, Dad!"

Li Yun smiled: "Chuan'er, don't be too happy. Mother and you will see you in a year. If you delay the harvest for a year, your mother will not only not allow you to mess around anymore, but will also have to beat your board. ”

Long Chuan smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry! The child advises you, it is best to follow the child and contract out the land." Otherwise, don't be blushing next year!"

Li Yun stretched out his hand to make a gesture of wanting to fight, and scolded with a smile: "Look at what you can! If it is really like what you said, my mother will contract out all the fields in the house next year." ”
