Destiny Only Han

Chapter 84
The wind blows the wheat waves, and there is a faint fragrance of wheat in the dry and hot air.

Liu Ying pointed to the farmers who were harvesting wheat in the distance and asked: "How come there are only so few mediocre farmers on such a large land? How long will it be busy?"

Xiao He looked at Lu Ze, turned his head and lowered his head, and said, "Harvesting wheat is hard work, and it's the harvest season, there is a shortage of people everywhere."

It's a pity that I didn't sign up for the combine harvester... Liu Ying had a moment of longing in her heart, and then she looked at the gang of foreign workers and asked, "How much money can they earn if they work here for a day?"

Lu Ze tapped him on the head: "Go, go, children should act like children, let's play with Liu Fei and the others!"

Liu Ying's eyes were full of accusations: "My mother said that children should not be hit on the head. If you hit too much, you will not be smart!"

Lu Ze laughed and said, "Don't scare me with your mother, she's my sister! Besides, there's nothing wrong with being stupid, people who are too smart don't live long..."

"Really?" Liu Ying tilted her head, her eyes slowly turned to Xiao He who was half-white.

Embarrassed, Lu Ze raised his hand and pretended to hit him: "Where are you looking, brat? You should hit him!"

Xiao He shook his head indifferently: "20 yuan a day, one meal."

For 20 yuan, you can probably buy 3 eggs, or 48 catties of wheat... Liu Ying made some calculations, and then asked, "How many acres can each person harvest per day?"

Xiao He thought for a while, looked at him and said: "The weather is hot now, basically we start working before dawn, rest at noon, and work until we can't see it after the sun goes down. Three acres in two days."

"Three acres in two days? That's too little!" Liu Ying was startled, ready to pave the way for the next suggestion.

Lu Ze smiled with hatred for iron and steel, and when his hands were in mid-air, he changed from patting his head to grabbing his braids and reprimanded:

"That's a human, not an animal! Besides, even an animal can't be used to death!"

"It hurts, hurts... Teacher, help!" Liu Ying decisively called out to Xiao He who was watching the play.

But Xiao He was unmoved, he was more in favor of Lu Ze's current actions, and it would be good for this little guy to teach him a lesson.

It seems that no one can be relied on except my mother... Liu Ying felt the tension on her head loosen, raised her head and complained, "I don't understand what my uncle said, I also worked in the fields with my mother two years ago! "

Well, the original text of "Historical Records": Lu Hou and his two sons lived in Tanaka.

耨 means pulling weeds, and the two sons refer to him and Liu Le...

The three of us...Liu Ying unceremoniously took one-third of Lu Zhi's credit, and then said: "When I was in my hometown, I heard from my mother that the strong laborers in our place could easily reap two acres of land every day." !"

Lu Ze laughed softly: "The size of our fields is different from that in Yingchuan County. The ones here are Qinmu, one step wide and 240 steps long. Ours is also one step wide, but two hundred steps long. , can it be the same?"

Liu Ying did some calculations. Although the area was poor, those guys were definitely doing foreign work, and there was nothing wrong with that!
He said confidently: "I have a method that can improve the efficiency of harvesting!"

Xiao He asked: "What method?"

Well done... Liu Ying raised her head: "Uncle hit me just now, I don't want to talk about it!"

"Speak but don't talk!" Lu Ze was too lazy to get used to his stinky habit.

Liu Ying took a step forward and tugged at his sleeve: "Quick, ask me, or I'll cry for you!"

Lu Ze was helpless, and smiled fondly: "Okay, what method?"

Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction: "Of course it is to change the way of payment! Cancel the 20 yuan wages per day and change it to a method of sharing with mediocre farmers. For every mu of land they harvest, they can get [-]% of the grain as compensation!"

Xiao He thought for a while in silence, and said with a smile: "If you want to take it, you must first give it to you. This is a good idea!"

Lu Ze was a little slow to react. He pampered Liu Ying's head again, but was slapped away by the other party. He looked at the proud little face and smiled helplessly.

Before Liu Ying came here, she asked Taigong Liu, because the compost needs to be fermented, which affects the follow-up topdressing. Coupled with the unfavorable weather, the yield of wheat per mu is less than five buckets per stone.

According to the weights and measures at that time, the weight of a stone of grain was about 30 kilograms, and when converted into Qin Jin, it was 120 kilograms.

As for the price of grain in Yangdi some time ago, wheat was [-] yuan per stone.

A mediocre farmer earns 20 qian per day, and harvests three acres in two days.

According to the regulations set by Xiao He, a mediocre farmer would get 0.4 stones of wheat every day, which is 48 catties.

According to Liu Ying's suggestion, based on the yield of 1.5 shi per mu, it is 0.45 shi of wheat per day, which is 54 catties.

At first glance, this seems to be more expenditure than Xiao He's plan.

But the price of wheat at 50 renminbi per stone is the official retail price, and now that the wheat in Yingchuan County is harvested at the same time, the price of grain will only decrease.

After all, that sentence was well said, and it cost three or five buckets.

At this time, it is more cost-effective to pay for food than to give money.

Anyway, for these mediocre farmers, most of the money they earn has to be exchanged for food.

Especially in troubled times like now, food is the foundation of everything.

But the point of Liu Ying's calculation is not the amount of remuneration.

All the data above are rooted in the harvesting progress of the mediocre farmers, which is three acres in two days.

This is a kind of work intensity that can be easily completed, far below their limits.

Therefore, in Liu Ying's plan, if two acres are harvested every day, the reward will be 0.9 stones of wheat, which is 108 catties!
If there is an outbreak, three acres per day?
Distribution according to work, more work, more pay!
Well, harvesting three acres is actually not impossible.

After all, one mu of later generations is equivalent to three mu of Qin.

It is not difficult to harvest one mu a day, as long as you are willing to work hard.

Of course, strapping and shipping are not included.

The mediocre farmers get benefits, and the government can put grain into storage as soon as possible.

Win-win!

Painting big cakes, bah, mobilizing the enthusiasm of workers, I am a professional... Liu Ying raised her face, her face was full of compliments, and she didn't stop.

Xiao He shook his head helplessly, as if he saw a bearded man leading troops to Nanyang County, he turned to look at Lu Ze: "Let's do it this way."

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Liu Ying and said, "I heard your mother said that you are good at math, is it true?"

You know the high math scores of engineering males... Liu Ying was taken aback, and instinctively felt that the old man in front of him seemed to be holding back:
"Well, really...?"

Xiao He laughed loudly: "What a cunning little fellow!"

He couldn't refuse and continued: "Since you want to contribute, you will manage the daily meals of these mediocre farmers. I will check the accounts every two days. If the calculation is correct, there will be no reward. If the calculation is wrong There will be punishment!"

This old man is unreasonable... Liu Ying nodded stiffly: "All right..."
