- "What are you talking about? That lady said that you two can get eight taels of silver a month?"
Luo Erzhu, who had just finished registration, looked in disbelief. After he listened to his mother-in-law talk about the salary offered by the young officer, he has been acting like this stupidly since then.
It¡¯s not surprising that Luo Erzhu had such a reaction, because the salary was completely beyond his expectation.
In the Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, maids and servants who worked for wealthy landlords did not receive such a high salary.
¡°Even if you are a young lady¡¯s personal maid, if you take care of food, food, and housing, having only five coins a month is already a very good household.
"God has opened his eyes. You can definitely do something with 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 things. If this delays the time, it will cause trouble for the master's family. But it¡¯s gone.¡±
After Luo Erzhu woke up, he immediately began to urge his mother-in-law to go back quickly.
Luo Liushi nodded: "Miss said that Chunxi and I have one day of rest every month. When it's time to rest, we can go out for a walk. So I will come back to see you at that time. People should take care of themselves at home."
Mrs. Luo Liu looked at her husband distressedly and gave serious instructions.
Luo Erzhu nodded repeatedly: "I am already such an old man, and I am not a child. Don't worry, there will be no problem for me to be alone. Our family will be allocated fifteen acres of land by then, and we will wait until you receive the monthly payment. , remember to take it back and I will praise it and buy a cow."
Mrs. Luo Liu was also very happy. Although the land had not yet been allocated to her hands, she felt very comfortable just hearing this.
Fifteen acres of land.
When I was in Daming, my family only had two acres of land.
But. In the end, neither of these two acres of land were left, and it was eventually sold to a local landowner.
As a farm woman, Luo Liu certainly knows what fifteen acres of land means.
With these fifteen acres of land, as long as they take good care of it, their family will never have to worry about it in the future.
People. Isn¡¯t that just such a pursuit?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? are made were did not seek great wealth and great honor, I just wanted to be able to live in peace and tranquility.
It can be said that the needs of the people of Ming Dynasty in this era are very simple and simple.
What¡¯s more, Mrs. Luo Liu and her daughter Chunxi also found a good job. You can get a salary of eight taels of silver a month. As long as you work well and the money is enough to buy land and cattle, your family's life will be promising.
"The lady said that someone will leave an address for you. If anything happens to you then, go to the city to find us." Luo Liu left Luo Erzhu with some reluctance.
Luo Erzhu looked at his wife's retreating figure. I felt excited and nervous at the same time.
"Your name is Luo Erzhu?"
After his wife left, even though Luo Erzhu was reluctant to leave, he could only pack up his mood and start doing serious things.
Because he has already registered, all he has to do now is follow the instructions and go to the Jinshan City office to inquire about land allocation.
This matter is very important to Luo Erzhu.
That¡¯s fifteen acres of land.
Although I don¡¯t know whether it is the best fertile land or the kind of barren land.
But no matter what. Land is always good.
Even if it is barren land, Luo Erzhu will not dislike it.
When Luo Erzhu arrived at the service desk set up by the Ministry of Agriculture in Jinshan City specifically in the immigrant camp, the young clerk sitting behind the desk looked up at him and then asked.
Luo Erzhu handed over a piece of paper in his hand, otherwise the other party might not know him.
This document is Luo Erzhu¡¯s information document. It clearly shows Luo Erzhu¡¯s family demographics and some other information.
After finishing the records, other Ming immigrants will be like Luo Erzhu. Got this document paper.
You must know that this document will eventually be collected by the Jinshan City Archives Management Office.
"Yes, sir."
Seeing the other party asking, Luo Erzhu quickly responded respectfully.
"Your family should be divided into fifteen acres of land, but it shows that there are only three people in your family. Apart from you, there are only one man, your wife and your child. Although your wife is an adult, your child is only six years old, so it is obviously not possible to go to the fields. You work. So no matter how hard you work on fifteen acres of land, you still can't keep it.Bar? "
What this clerk from the Ministry of Agriculture said is very realistic.
Luo Erzhu¡¯s family does not have many people, so if he is able to work hard, he is the only one.
¡°Even if he and his wife were added to take care of fifteen acres of land, it would not be enough.
¡°Besides, now that his wife has been hired by the young officer, Luo Erzhu will be responsible for the fifteen acres of land in the future.
This will cost you your life.
When Luo Erzhu heard this, he thought something would go wrong.
Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Sir, I can do it alone. When I was at home, I was farming, and there is absolutely nothing I can do wrong. As long as you allocate fifteen acres of land, I will be able to take care of you. "
With fifteen acres of land, Luo Erzhu didn't want any accidents to happen due to his own fault.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m a little tired, I¡¯m a farmer to begin with.
The worst thing is, what if I¡¯m tired by then?
As a farmer, farming is your duty, isn¡¯t it?
¡°Besides, from now on, the fifteen acres of land will be my own, and I won¡¯t complain no matter how tired I am.
Eating on the ground, that is hard to gain a little effort, and it is proportional to the dripping sweat.
"Don't worry, I'm just worried that you will be tired alone." Glancing at Luo Erzhu, who was a little flustered, the clerk from the Ministry of Agriculture guessed Luo Erzhu's psychological activities, so he explained a little bit.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Luo Erzhu said repeatedly.
"We provide farm tools and cattle here. If you need them, you can apply. Based on your family's situation, the possibility of passing the application is very high. Do you want to give it a try?"
The clerk from the Ministry of Agriculture looked at Luo Erzhu very seriously and asked.
Ming immigrants like Luo Erzhu came to Jinshan City. That's nothing but poverty and nothing.
" But if they had anything, they wouldn't be brought to Jinshan City in America, right?
It was precisely because they were bankrupt and had nothing, and faced famine, that they left their hometown in order to survive and went outside to find a way to survive.
so. Even if the land is allocated to them now, they can only stare at it without farm tools.
Fortunately, Wangshan has already considered this problem and asked the Jinshan Ministry of Agriculture to come up with a solution.
That is to provide farm tools and cattle to these Ming immigrants, so that they can get involved in production and life in the shortest possible time.
Of course, this is not provided free of charge.
Wang Shan does not have such noble and great feelings. At the same time, he is not an idiot.
So, farm tools and cattle will be provided to the Ming immigrants according to their actual value. But considering these Ming immigrants, there is nothing now.
Therefore, you can provide them with no money for the time being, and then gradually deduct them from their income in the future.
"This. This, I don't know how I should pay it back after using it?"
Regarding this point, Luo Erzhu was still a little excited.
After all, he also knows his current situation. Without farm tools, even if he has land, he can only watch. At the same time, if you have a cattle or something, then fifteen acres of land will not be a problem.
only. He didn't know what would happen if he owed these things on credit.
Luo Erzhu was a little uninterested when he thought of the fact that when Ming Dynasty worked as a tenant for the landlord's family, he had to pay back three buckets of rice for every bucket of rice he borrowed.
But, 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, and a cattle is sixty-eight taels. If feed and seeds are provided at the same time, then the price will increase." Together they are one hundred and four taels of silver"
,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Luo Erzhu was startled.
The prices of farm tools and cattle in the Americas are much higher than those in the Ming Dynasty.
This is just the price provided to you. It doesn¡¯t count how much you need to pay back when you pay it back.
Therefore, Luo Erzhu lost interest immediately.
However, just when Luo Erzhu was thinking about how to refuse, the clerk continued: "Don't refuse in a hurry. You should first let me calculate the account for you. Then it is not too late for you to make a decision."
"Your family will be allocated fifteen acres of land. If you want to grow food, we will provide you with preferential treatment."??'s seeds. The yield of these seeds can reach 1,500 kilograms per mu. If calculated based on 15 acres of land, you can harvest 22,500 kilograms a year. "
Luo Erzhu and other Ming immigrants who had finished taking notes and lined up here all had their mouths wide open and expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
The yield of 1,500 per mu is a myth.
Most of them are farmers, and they know the land very well.
During the Ming Dynasty, even if the season was good, the top-quality fertile fields could only produce more than three hundred kilograms of grain.
??The output of more than 300 kilograms is absolutely high-yield.
The yield of 1,500 per mu is simply a fucking myth.
However, the clerk from the Ministry of Agriculture ignored the stunned crowd and continued talking.
"Of course, according to your Ming Dynasty's algorithm, there may be some discrepancies. Our unit of measurement here is decimal, while yours is hexadecimal."
"But I can guarantee that your income in a year will definitely exceed two hundred taels of silver. What's more, after harvesting the grain in the autumn, you can also replant some potatoes and the like, which is also a good income. And our agriculture With the unified purchase by the Ministry, there will be no situation where there is grain that cannot be sold. As for the price of unified purchase, this year it should fluctuate between one or two taels of silver to one or two or four taels of silver, so"
To be honest, everyone can settle this account.
The yield per mu is 1,500 yuan, which is at least ten shi of grain.
Even according to the price in the Ming Dynasty, one stone of grain costs one, two, two or three yuan.
If you calculate it this way, you can earn ten taels of silver from one acre of land.
" After all, people like Luo Erzhu's family are in the minority. Some families have a large population, so they are allocated a lot of land.
So, even if you borrow a debt, you will owe more than one hundred taels, but 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 made a clear calculation in his mind - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
