Renting land is generally divided into two kinds of real rent and fixed rent, that is, the land rent is collected according to the proportion and according to the fixed amount respectively.

In terms of real rent, it is generally a [-]-[-] split account. When the host family provides cattle and production tools, it is already considered a kind landlord.

According to the general situation in Dazhou, the owner who provided the cattle could get an extra share.

However, whether it is the Wang family or the Sheng family, they are all heirs of poems and books. As a literati, they still have to face. For the sake of reputation, it is not good to be too harsh on the tenants.

But even so, not many choose Shicheng Rent.

Quota rent seems to be better. The landlord only collects the agreed amount. If the grain can be harvested in abundance, the extra grain received will be the tenant's own.

In a real disaster year, such as floods, droughts, or locusts, it is impossible to really let the tenants pay the grain according to the agreement.

Of course, it is rare to meet a black-hearted landlord, catch up with a disaster year, and be forced to sell children and daughters to pay off debts.

What kind of life the tenants can live depends entirely on whether they can meet a kind and honest landlord.

"My lord, do you want to take back all the crops that are not harvested?" Guanshi Liu asked.

In addition to two-thirds of the crops having a good harvest, one-sixth of the crops were mediocre, and one-sixth of the crops were considered poor compared to previous years.

"After taking it back, I will supplement the money and food to those tenants according to the average harvest of the previous years. This is what I promised them before planting."

Sheng Changbai still does some research on the problem of under-harvested crops.

Although he is not a botanist, Sheng Changbai can be regarded as an old farmer after several lifetimes of experience.

The experience is also rich. A simple comparison shows that the crops are not harvested because of the soil, the ambient temperature, drought or waterlogging, and the reason for the fertilizer. There is still hope.

"Yes, after these crops are harvested, I will transport them to the city for the young master."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Uncle Liu. I'll let Liu Tao come back to stay with you for a few more days after I finish my work during this period of time."

After coming to Zhuangzi for a long time, Sheng Changbai became acquainted with Guanshi Liu a lot.

It may be loyalty, or it may be the reason why his son's future is bound to Sheng Changbai.

Manager Liu worked very hard for Sheng Changbai.

The [-]-acre field is taken care of very meticulously and with all my heart.

The Wang family is really good to Wang Ruofu, in order to improve Wang Ruofu's situation in the Sheng family.

Such a capable servant was given to Wang Ruofu.

Women can serve as military advisers to Wang Ruofu in the inner house, and men are also good at managing affairs outside.

This kind of loyalty-based, butler-type talent is not many even in big families.

The Sheng family has been rich for three generations, but there are not many capable people around Sheng Hong, and even the closest follower, Dong Rong, has no loyalty to Sheng Hong.

"Mother, this is a new crop of peanuts grown in the village. I ordered the kitchen to make some food for you to taste."

One hundred acres of land, tossing and tossing for a season, there must be an explanation. After the peanuts are returned, Sheng Changbai directs the kitchen and cooks a few dishes, boiled peanuts, squeezed peanuts, peanuts with balsamic vinegar, peanut candy, peanut crisps, etc. Wang Ruofu tasted it.

"This thing really has a taste, Bai'er, is this what you've been tossing about in your village these past few months?"

Wang Ruofu affirmed that the taste of peanuts, Wang Ruofu, who is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, also recognized it.

"Mother, this product can not only be eaten daily, but the most important thing is that it can be used to extract oil. The cooking taste is much better than that of ramie oil. Mother can wait until the oil is extracted from peanuts and you will know."

Sheng Changbai took out another harvest list, handed it to Wang Ruofu and continued: "Mother, the most important thing is to test the effect of the improved seeds in the village. After these new varieties of millet, rice, millet, and bean are planted, Generally, production can be increased by [-] to [-] percent,"

"Okay, wouldn't this mean that Zhuangzi's annual income would increase by two or three percent?" Wang Ruofu said in surprise.

Although there is no shortage of money, but for the sake of his three children, Wang Ruofu still likes money very much.

Due to the limitation of the times, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it was marrying a wife or a daughter, a thick dowry or betrothal gift was indispensable.

Marriage of children is no less a burden on the family than later generations.

Although the times are different, the human nature that likes to compare is no different from that of later generations.

Marrying a woman and marrying a daughter, and ruining the family and property of their parents, is a common thing.

It's not just a commoner's family who can't handle the marriages of their children, resulting in a bunch of leftover men and women in the family.

Even officials and eunuchs, if they are not good at management, they will also not be able to withstand this kind of thing.

What class corresponds to what grade.

Ordinary households prepare their sons with a house, fertile land, cattle, and cash, which are equivalent to houses, cars, and tickets.

Prepare gold and silver jewelry, head mask, field property, colored forging, and silk cloth for her daughter.

In a family of officials, the son is relatively economical, so a few betrothal gifts are enough, that is, gold and silver jewelry, cash and silver, silk and satin, various fruits, wine, and meat.Grange pavement is not mandatory, it can be determined according to the actual situation.

But to marry a daughter, you need everything, gold and silver, silk, Zhuangzi, shop, furniture, daily necessities, ten miles of red makeup, and marry as generously as possible.

"Mother, that's not true. There are not many acres of new crops planted. This year's Zhuangzi's income will not be higher than in previous years. In order to promote it on a large scale in the coming year, I brought back all the harvest of this year's good seeds. When it is time for autumn sowing, I will prepare By growing some wheat, my mother can look forward to Zhuangzi next year, and the annual harvest can be more."

Farming cannot be stopped. Not long after the harvest, it is time to plant wheat again this season.

"This season's harvest is good, and what Zhuangzi will plant in the future is up to you, Bai'er."

With evidence, Wang Ruofu further delegated power to Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Changbai continued his farming business for another two years.

As a result, except for the Sheng family's farm, they were all replaced by Sheng Changbai's fine breed.

Some Hesheng families, old friends and relatives, and many farms have been replaced with new species.

No matter how well-developed commerce was, this feudal society was also based on agriculture.

Whether it's a merchant's family or an official's family, after getting rich, buying more land is the first choice.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, doing business was the art of building a family, and farming was the foundation of strengthening the family.

There are few rich merchants who are not big landlords.

Two years passed, another autumn, and it was time for the state examination. Gu Tingye, who had been studying abroad for several years, also returned to the capital.

"Zecheng, let's go to Goulan to play together. I haven't returned to Bianliang for several years. I'm even unfamiliar with Bianliang city."

After returning to Tokyo, Gu Tingye came to Sheng's house to look for Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Changbai was quite indifferent to Gu Tingye, but Gu Tingye probably felt that the two of them were good friends on the cruise ship and had experienced life and death together, so he liked to play with Sheng Changbai.

Maybe it was also Gu Tingye's sudden whim, wanting to change himself, and he broke up with his friends who used to hang out with the honorable libertines, and he has no friends.

The only serious person I knew in Bianjing was Sheng Changbai, so I had to come to Sheng Changbai.

"Zhonghuai, aren't you going back to Bianliang to take part in the scientific examination? It's important to go home and study hard. Why don't you go to Goulan Washe at this time?"

Even if he was determined to change his face and start a new life, he went to Jiangxi Bailudong Academy and studied for a few years.

But Gu Tingye's playful nature has not changed.

Gu Tingye's rectification of evil and return to righteousness is probably to provoke chickens and dogs, cause trouble, fight and fight, and do less about whoring in brothels.

It is impossible to miss places like Goulan Washe.

"I have been studying for four or five years. For me, the matter of Zhongju is just a bag. It is at my fingertips. I have been warming up for four or five years. Why are you still warming up at this time. What about your Sanlang, call him and let's have a drink together .”

As the son of Marquis Ningyuan, Gu Tingye took part in the "Between Examination" of course. As a student of Bailudong Academy, the best private school in the country, Gu Tingye's confidence in Zhongju is not too much.

"My family, Sanlang, is going to end this subject. My father told him to study behind closed doors, so it's not good to ask him to go out. His schoolwork is not as good as yours. Before the exam, it is still necessary to read more books. Don't you want to go out? , let's go quickly, don't bother Saburo."

In order not to let Gu Tingye stay in the Sheng family for too long, he wandered around again and saw the daughter of the Sheng family.

Sheng Changbai still pulled Gu Tingye out of the door quickly.

Gu Tingye is quite perverted, he is three years older than Sheng Changbai, already in his early twenties, and ten years older than Minglan.

Minglan is still an 11-year-old child, and Gu Tingye can call Minglan's attention.

People who like young girls and start in three years are too cheap.

There is no little lady who accompanied Gu Tingye, wandered around various bars, and watched and sang operas.

Sheng Changbai didn't have this hobby. After the two of them went out, they found a rather large restaurant and sat down.

"Zhonghuai, since you have made up your mind to take the road of scientific examination, you should prepare well and strive to be able to get high school, Donghuamen roll call, and gold list title in one fell swoop, so as to fight for your father and mother."

Sheng Changbai persuaded Gu Tingye not to really want Gu Tingye to study, but to persuade this person to be more honest at home and avoid running to Sheng's house.

"It's still half a year away from February next year. I can't just lock myself up in the mansion for half a year to prepare for the exam."

Gu Tingye said that he didn't care too much, as the son of the Hou family, he can naturally enjoy the shade.

Not worrying about the way out, the imperial examinations are far less important than ordinary exams.

For others, it is the only way out, but for Gu Tingye, it is just a choice.

Xungui Yinfeng is different from civil servant Yinfeng. Without an imperial examination background, he can also achieve high positions in the army.

"Half a year is nothing. For the sake of the scientific examination, I haven't been out of the house for two or three years since I entered Beijing and went to the scientific examination."

"I can't bear such restraint. If I can't go out for such a long time, I will suffer to death." Gu Tingye shook his head and said: "Zecheng, I heard that you are engaged, right?"

"My parents made a marriage for me. After I got Tanhua, my marriage couldn't be dragged on. The matchmaker on the mother's side and the colleagues on the father's side kept asking for help. In order not to offend everyone, We can only settle the marriage as soon as possible."

In terms of marriage, Sheng Changbai was still very passive, to the point where he had to make an early decision.

A young man is looking for a flower, and he has been undecided for a long time, so there are too many people who are eyeing Sheng Changbai, a potential stock.

"I heard that she is the first daughter of the famous Hai family in Jiangning?" Gu Tingye said enviously.

With the ethos that the literati of the Great Zhou disdain to dance with nobles, this kind of well-known lady is someone Gu Tingye will never pursue.

Not to mention Gu Tingye's reputation as a famous swinger in Tokyo, a pioneer in the romantic circle, and Zhao Zilong's reputation under the peony flower.

It's just ordinary people who behave well and don't look down on Gu Tingye.

"Yes, Hai Shi's first daughter, has already made an appointment."

Sheng Hong really chose Sheng Changbai's daughter-in-law seriously for a long time, but there was still no change in the selection, and Haishi was still Sheng Changbai's best choice.

In the age of his parents' orders, Sheng Changbai didn't realize that there was a more suitable candidate for him.

If he wanted to get free love, Sheng Changbai couldn't get in touch with a decent lady.

In terms of family, personality, and appearance, Heidegger is the most suitable for me.

The first thing is that Hai's Jiangning is close to Youyang. Youyang is under the management of Jiangning Mansion, and the Hai family is the best and most noble family near Youyang.

Geographical factors cannot always be ignored, fellow countrymen in court are natural alliances.

Most of the new Jinshi who entered the officialdom took refuge in the big bosses from the same village.

In order for Sheng Changbai to seize power as soon as possible, enter the value center, and find a capable Yue family, it is also necessary.

The civil official group of the Great Zhou Dynasty already had a certain degree of monopoly.

It has been several decades since the founding of the country, and now, the son-in-law of a prime minister may not be able to become a prime minister, but most of the prime ministers have an old man who has been a prime minister.

The second young lady of the Hai family, her grandfather was a teacher of two generations of emperors, her father was a transfer envoy, and she is an absolute official in the frontier.

He is not too old, and he is a proper candidate for the prime minister.

Since they have no feelings and can find a better wife in all aspects, it is impossible for Sheng Changbai to deliberately find a wife with poor conditions in all aspects.

Because of the family precepts of the Hai family, it is expressly ordered that children and grandchildren can only take concubines when they are forty and childless.

If the man in the family does not take a concubine, the woman is also unwilling to let the man take a concubine. This is not a difficult problem, and there is always a way.

"It's better to be a Jinshi. You have just passed the age of hair, and the threshold of your family will be broken by a matchmaker. Wherever you are like me, you have already passed the crown ceremony, and you are still from the Marquis. There is no matchmaker in Bianjing. Dare to accept my post."

Gu Tingye is treated like this now, if the matchmaker is talking about marriage to Gu Tingye.

Serious people don't let the matchmaker in, it's an impossible marriage.

A matchmaker can't make any money, so who would be willing to help Gu Tingye with her work for nothing?

"Zhonghuai, it's not about being a Jinshi, it's about having a good reputation. Think about the things you have done, the reputation you left in Bianliang, is there any decent family willing to marry their daughter to you. If you don't want it, don't Shi Yuren, Zhong Huai, don't you also have a pair of children? Are you willing to marry your daughter to someone like you?" After a while, Sheng Changbai continued: "Zhong Huai, we know that Fan Wenzheng and Pan Yangzhen About the Golden Lotus?"

If Gu Tingye really has true love, the best choice is to marry his concubine Mannia back home as his legal wife.

Fan Zhongyan, a literati prime minister, could marry a prostitute as his official wife for love, and Gu Tingye, an unruly son of honor, would marry an actor because of love.

Always wanting to find a real wife of a noble girl, it shows that Gu Tingye doesn't have much true love for Mannia.

It was because of her background and family background that she looked down on Mannia in her heart. (end of this chapter)
