Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 118
Chasing the wind with a word, everyone was speechless, everyone looked around with their heads down, lowered their voices or made eye contact, and the noisy scene suddenly became much quieter.

Tian Debao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person standing straight in front of him. This person had always been humble before, and there was a child beside him. He always thought he was just a naive person, but now he saw that this person was far more than that.

"Everyone, I have a brother who was also a farmer. After fleeing famine with me to Chengyang County, he found a job as a county guard to chop firewood. The monthly payment was five yuan, and his wife's sewing was four monthly payment. The husband and wife can get it every two years. Twenty-eight dollars."

The murmurs of the people in the courtyard gradually became denser again, some sighed, some envied, some were shocked, and some said good luck.Twelve taels a year, this is a number they can't earn anyway, even in a good year.

Zhufeng took two steps, and continued to speak slowly: "Twelve taels a year, a family of five can afford food and clothing, and the county guard is nice, so it can be said that as long as they continue to work, their life will definitely get better and better.

But even so, my brother is still not satisfied with the stability in front of him. At the end of the year, he will join the army. In his words, if he doesn't fight hard at this time, maybe he will be like this for the rest of his life.

How hard it is to join the army, once he is successful, his bones are exhausted, but in Chengyang County, in just one month, he was promoted from a low-ranking soldier to a middle-ranking soldier. Two stones of rice noodles.

I tell you this, not to ask you to do something earth-shattering, but to hope that we can learn something from it:

If you are really dissatisfied with the current situation, let it go if there is no chance, but if you have the opportunity to catch it and get rid of the status quo, then why give up?What are you afraid of?What are you hesitating about? "

The crowd was silent, and after a long time, someone tentatively said: "We have never grown medicinal materials, and we are afraid that they will not grow well."

"Which of you knows how to farm from birth? You learn it little by little. If you don't know how to grow, I can teach you. I will teach you on the spot. As long as you don't understand people's words, no one can't learn .”

Another person said: "What if there is no one who buys a new one?"

Zhufeng smiled helplessly: "There is a market to sell the herbs collected in the mountains, but no one buys the ones grown in the mountains.

The quality of the species is even higher. There is no one to take care of the wild in the mountains, and the quality is uneven, but the quality of the ones grown in the ground will not be bad as long as they are carefully cared for. "

"But now that the sky is dry and the crops are not viable, how can it be better to grow medicinal materials?"

Zhufeng continued to explain patiently: "There are also many medicines that love drought and hate water. Although it is a dry day this year, it is a dream for planting medicinal materials."

The tenant farmers looked at each other and discussed among themselves,
"Then if we don't plant crops and medicinal materials, what will we eat next year?"

"Oh, if you can earn a hundred taels a year, why don't you have nothing to eat? You can only eat what you grow in the field? You won't buy it?"

"But I don't have ten acres of land, I only have three acres."

"Didn't you return the other land? Even if you grow these three acres into crops, how much money will you get? If you don't grow them, you can transfer them to me. I want to grow them."

"What if I can't sell it? What if I can't sell so much? What if one kind goes bad? I'm always uneasy about things I haven't grown before."

The "this" crowd gradually quieted down again. After all, there was only one problem, and the most feared thing was that it would not be sold well.

In front of the hall, Tian Debao's old head Liu also discussed with Zhufeng.Tian Debao said:
"Listening to what Boss Zhu said, I want to do something big, but it's easy to say. There are many things before and after. I don't know if Boss can consider it. For example, where does this medicine come from and who provides it.

Also, in case one kind goes bad, what kind of losses will the tenant farmers bear, and so on, you have to figure it out. "

Zhufeng nodded, "I understand, I have considered all these." He took out a paper contract from his sleeve and handed it to Tian Debao, "I have written all relevant matters in the contract. From now on, they will no longer be tenant farmers, but Long-term workers, I hire them, not they rent my land.

In other words, they only need to contribute, and they don't need to worry about anything else, which solves all their concerns.

There's just one thing, I can't give you the salary first.First, I gave them two out of ten, which was calculated from the net income after deducting the cost per mu of land. It is impossible to determine in advance how much this amount is;

Second, if the wages are paid in advance, to put it bluntly, they can drop their picks at any time, and they will lack urgency and sense of responsibility for the medicine field, which will greatly reduce the quality of the medicine field.

This will not only harm my interests, but also their own interests, because this is a transaction where the more you pay, the more you get back. The more output per mu, the better the quality, and the more they get. "

Old Liu headed closer to Tian Debao and looked at it for a while, then nodded: "It's really detailed, except for the salary, I really have nothing to say about the rest."

However, Tian Debao had some doubts, "According to the contract with the boss, the wages will be settled on the first day of the twelfth lunar month every year.

Then let me say something bad, if the boss runs away, or refuses to admit it, then where will the tenants complain. "

Zhufeng smiled, "The monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away, if I really run away, can I still move this place?
Besides, I have taught all the planting techniques, you are afraid that I will run away, and I am also afraid that they will learn to set up their own businesses and will not do it for me.

Whether it is growing medicinal materials or growing crops, the most critical, most important, and even the most valuable things are here. "Zhufeng pointed to his head,

"The things I put here are priceless treasures. Didn't I pay them a huge fortune in advance by teaching them these things?"

Tian Debao was silent for a while, and then said again: "What the boss said is not bad, but you can't do anything about it. Since you want them to plant, and people don't understand, you have to teach this technique, otherwise your place will be ruined." There is no silver."

"That's exactly the reason. So I and the tenant farmers gave each other a step. I taught them things first, and they gave me their time and manpower first. The two sides are pretty even. What do you think?"

Tian Debao chuckled, "It's really thoughtful to chase the boss. This is a mutually beneficial transaction. Only by working together and twisting into one rope, can we all get something in the end.

The three-year contract with the boss must also be to restrain the tenants from setting up their own businesses. "

Zhufeng smiled slightly, "I'm also a layman, while I lead everyone to make money together, I also want to protect my own interests.

Three years is not a long time. During these three years, while they work for me, they will gradually mature their planting techniques.

I didn't do this for my own sake, but also for their consideration. There are so many things to consider about medicinal planting, and I can only learn a little bit after a year or so of study.

If they are not skilled enough to let them go to start their own businesses, it will undoubtedly push them into the pit, and it will also damage the reputation of this industry. The medicine merchants will have doubts or even conflicts with planting medicinal materials, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Three years later, when their skills are mature, they are willing to buy their own land to plant, or continue to grow crops, or continue to do long-term work for me. These are all voluntary. "

Tian Debao and Old Liu looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. I have to say that they seemed to see a bright future, at least compared to the current predicament, this is undoubtedly a bright road.

"Also." Zhufeng took out a letter and handed it to Tian Debao, "This is a recommendation letter written by the magistrate of Chengyang County."

Tian Debao was slightly startled, took the letter and read it carefully, the expression on his face gradually became dull, after a long time, he carefully folded the letter and handed it to Zhuifeng, then cupped his hands and said: "Little old man, his eyes are clumsy. Don't blame the boss."
