Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 54

After February and a half, Tang Long was invited back to Sun Family Village. Sun Xin couldn't wait, and took out the blueprints he had conceived in the past few months and Tang Long's plan to build Sun Family Village's armed forces.

Sun Xin expects to recruit another group of farmers this year. It is estimated that by the end of the year, the total number of farmers in Sunjiazhuang will reach more than 200. Most of them are strong laborers. A team of more than 100 people can be organized at any time to protect the village.

Sun Xin calculated the income of the village this year. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to build four black buildings to defend the village by the end of the year, but it is a bit exaggerated to equip all the village guards with muskets.

But the first task he gave to Tang Long was still to make rifled guns. As for what to do, he was naturally preparing to make a fortune in July—since the birthday outline was about to be sent to Dengzhou.

Tang Long is working in full swing here, and the things on Sun Xinzhuang's field are one after another.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it was time to harvest wheat, and Sun Xin also came up with his own plan for dividing the fields.

Sun Xin’s tenancy plan for farmers is completely different from what ordinary landlords give to tenants at this time—in Sun Xin’s plan, Sun Xin does not divide the land for everyone, but each farmer decides according to his or her own ability. Contract the corresponding number of acres of land, be optimistic about the location, and write a plan to submit after explaining the location.If the farmers like it, two companies, three companies, or even more than a dozen companies will cooperate to contract a large piece of land. As long as they can plant it, Sun Xin will follow them.

Then Sun Xin came up with something called the Supervisory Committee, which was composed of representatives of the dealers, and reviewed whether the plans they submitted could be completed according to the strength of each dealer.

As for field lessons, Sun Xin only required that all the grain produced by the farmer's contracted fields must be sold to Sun Xin for unified collection and storage, and field lessons would not be collected at all.

At the end of each year, the supervisory committee will uniformly evaluate the planting performance of each contractor this year, which will be the main consideration when approving the contracting plan in the second year.

Those who know how to farm and work hard will be able to approve more land in the coming year. If they are idlers and lazy, they will be evaluated by the Supervisory Committee and all the land they approved this year may be taken back in the next year.

When Sun Xin showed this plan to Sun Li, Sun Li was a little worried and said that if these farmers unite to contract a large piece of land for self-planting and self-sale, will they take away the rights of Sun Family Village?Sun Xin is not afraid at all.

This is actually the revised planting cooperative system for future generations. Even in the environment of future generations, the interests of directors in this system can be absolutely guaranteed, let alone in these years.

The water conservancy, animal power, seeds, and fertilizers on the entire land are all in the hands of Sun Xin. Even if these farmers really want to turn his land into their private fields, they will They found that the effect of their own farming was much lower than that of the orderly managed fields under Sun Xin's regulations. Their land would be snatched away by other tenants without Sun Xin's hand.

What's more, Sun Xin is still in control of the Supervisory Committee; four black buildings tightly surround the Sun Family Village, plus dozens of knives, guns and firecrackers, if the Sun Family Village can still escape from his control, he will be too useless.

And when they saw the plan given by Sun Xin, all the bankers were overjoyed.

The price of grain storage and storage given by Sun Xin is much lower than that on the market, which is equivalent to hiding the field tax in the price of grain harvest. However, tenant farmers these days are really not afraid of earning less. Farmers these days are most afraid of The most serious thing is actually a famine, because even if the land rented by the landlord is not harvested, it will still be given to the field.

If the tenants were unlucky and encountered a catastrophe, not to mention the lack of food in the fields, the landlord still had to pay the field tax, and farmers often had to sell their sons and daughters because of this.

And renting Sun Xin's land only needs to ensure that the grain grown every year is sold to Sun Xin. If the production is reduced, it will be nothing more than less income. Next year, Sun Xin's Zhuangzi will not let them lease the land. This is enough to attract them.

As for the famine subsidy that Sun Xin promised to provide in the plan, the unified provision of animal power and seeds, someone who is responsible for composting, digging ditches, and releasing water, and even organizes farmers to harvest grain during the harvest season. It is regarded as Sun Xin's painting pie, and he does not expect it to be realized at all.

The fact that there is no need to pay field lessons has attracted many farmers from nearby villages to ask if they can join Sunjiazhuang.

Sun Xin is planning to expand the scale of the field, so he signed contracts with many new farmers who came to Sunjiazhuang: because of insufficient land, new farmers who joined Sunjiazhuang need to work on the farm for a year first, and after more land is reclaimed , the right to divide the land only in the second year.

During the period, Sun Xin provided them with a package of four taels of silver a year. Most people would get this income even if they went to the city to find a job. What's more, they could divide the fields in the second year and plant the peanuts, corn and wheat seeds provided by the owner of Sun Zhuang. Most people stayed.

Just after spring, the total number of customers in Sunjiazhuang has expanded to 200.This is the result of Sun Xin not daring to frantically collect people in consideration of the limited area he can reclaim and worrying that other nearby landowners will have opinions on the loss of farmers.

As for the fifty farmers who joined the Sun Family Village earlier, they were all busy with dividing the land.

They have planted these fields last year, and they know that all of Sun Xin's men are paddy fields with adequate water and fertilizer. In other villages, these are good fields that can only be rented by asking grandpa to tell grandma for the New Year. Now there are five hundred acres in front of them for them to choose.

So the farmer wandered around the fields after work every day, looking at which fields they liked, and contacting each other to discuss how to submit a contracting plan.

Some farmers intend to be single households, but more people choose to unite two or three families and rent a large field to work together.

Some farmers who are good at putting water and composting also approached Sun Xin and expressed that they are willing to do corresponding things on Zhuangzi, responsible for composting or releasing water for the whole village.

As for the original Sunjiazhuang Sanzhuang, Zou Yuan, Li Zhi, and Gu Jia all established their own prestige during half a year of farming, and they each pulled up their own teams when they started contracting. There were five or six at the least, and Zou Yuan the most. Directly recruited ten dealers and contracted 120 mu of land.

He is the closest to Sun Xin on weekdays, and he has learned a lot about farming. In addition, his nephew Zou Run, under the guidance of Sun Xin, knows far more about the scientific farming required by Sun Xin than others , and he himself is a member of the supervisory committee, so he is not worried that these lands will not be acquired.

Zou Yuan now only thinks about making a big splash in the Sun Family Village.

Seeing Zou Yuan's momentum here, Gu Jia and Li Zhi also wanted to lease some relatively large land, but the case was left for discussion after the case was brought to the supervisory committee, and the approval was delayed.

Although Sun Xin's real consideration is that the large area of ​​land in the village that is convenient for unified farming is only about a hundred acres, which has already been leased to Zou Yuan, even if Gu Jia and Li Zhi can rent more than a hundred acres of land, it is still a small area. It is made from corners and corners. After planting here and then planting there, it will waste a lot of time just walking. If you want to rent, you can arrange it until next year.

But in their hearts, they only felt that Sun Xin was perfunctory for them.

They all thought that the reason why their plan was not approved was that they were unhappy with paying for Sun Xin's betrothal gift at that time, and they all regretted why they offended Sun Xin for nothing at that time, and lost such an opportunity. Chance to get rich.If I had known that Sun Xin would develop so quickly, they would have taken out even ten taels and twenty taels.
