Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 113
Early the next morning, Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang went out separately, not knowing what to do, so Sun Xiangfu led a group of fully armed guards out of the city on horseback, and came to a farm about [-] miles outside the city. , is a farm property jointly purchased by several companies. It is currently named Xicun, because there are several scattered streams in the farm.

"Junmai, pay attention, the news that we came to Luoyang, even the people who opened the restaurant know, I'm afraid it will not be safe." When the horse team left the city, Sun Xiangfu confessed to Xi Junmai, and at the same time put it on his own head said a helmet.

"Don't worry, haven't you seen Zhao Long's formation? Once you run, even if there are thousands of officers and soldiers in front of you, with our armor and sharp blades, we can easily rush over."

Xi Junmai glanced contemptuously at the cautious Sun Xiangfu, and casually pointed at the forwards on the left and right sides, only then did Sun Xiangfu see the way.

"Can the 50 of us fight against thousands of officers and soldiers?" Sun Xiangfu was a little in disbelief.

"Easy and easy, even a thousand cavalrymen are not afraid. Not counting the use of crossbows, one person can swing twenty or thirty knives and it's over." After testing the defensive power of the armor and the hundred-steel steel knives that Sun Xiangfu asked the craftsmen to develop Xi Jun bought the sharpness.

With the current standard equipment of the Tang army, it is basically impossible to break through the heavy armor on the guards. Once they face each other, it will basically be a one-sided massacre.

"Uh, then I'm relieved, but you have to help keep an eye on our internal people, and don't let the emperor develop them into secret guards."

"Secret guard? Like those who were placed in Wangjiang Tower?" Xi Junmai frowned.

"Uh, almost! But there must be some powerful ones. The Wangjiang Tower is because there are many guests coming and going. The emperor can understand the national conditions and some secrets through the chats of those guests, so he has arranged many ordinary secret guards. Our Majesty , but I like to listen to other people's gossip."

"Gossip?" Xi Jun asked in a daze.

"Uh, it's something like a little secret." Sun Xiangfu accidentally used the wrong word again, so he explained.

"No, the guards are all honest people who know how to repay their kindness. Even if the emperor favors them, they probably wouldn't do anything to betray you." Xi Junmai thought about it, and chose to believe them.

"Well, I hope so too, but management can't be slack. If the emperor knows everything, it will be very inconvenient for me to do things. It's not my character to always consider the emperor's interests." Sun Xiangfu repeated, Xi Junmai also nodded, after all, no one wants to have eyes looking at him all day long.

Chatting along the way, everyone soon arrived at Xizhuang. Wang Erniu, who was appointed as the village head, saw the horse team coming, and had already gathered all the households in the village, with 800 people.

"Village Chief, you are finally here."

Without any courtesy, Wang Erniu scratched his scalp and said with a laugh.

"Here, you are the village head. How about it? It's been two or three months since you came here. Are you on the track?"

Some of Sun Xiangfu’s expressions for later generations can be understood by people from Xingfu Village. For example, Wang Erniu is no stranger to the vocabulary of going up the track. Take them to build a house, the public house has been built, you can see it at a glance."

The entire Xi Village has more than 5000 mu of land and nearly [-] households, which is several times larger than the original Xingfu Village with [-] households. Most of these people have lived here for generations, and their conditions are much better than the original Xingfu Village.

Therefore, after Wang Erniu got the management right of this village, it is not as difficult to do things as in Xingfu Village before. A brick and tile public house that is exactly the same as Xingfu Village is located in the village. Head, Sun Xiangfu followed Wang Erniu's guidance and walked to the courtyard of the public house.

As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, Sun Xiangfu saw piles of fish cages made of bamboo strips in the courtyard. It seemed that Wang Erniu was not left behind for fishing, pond digging and breeding.

After a while, all the people in the village were summoned by Wang Erniu to the lobby of the public house, and found their usual places to sit down.

"Listen up, everyone. This Lord Sun is the owner who bought our village. He is a high-ranking official in Chang'an who is responsible for helping the emperor manage the royal farm. He taught me my skills. Next, let him tell us a few words. .”

Wang Erniu, who already looked like a village official, yelled a few opening remarks, and the villagers finally figured out Sun Xiangfu's identity. Everyone is now convinced of Wang Erniu. Since he took over Xi Village, every family has eaten fish. , also dug a pond, and raised a lot of eels and loaches. It is said that these things can be sold at a high price in winter.

Looking at the podium in front of the seats, the boss, who is a high-ranking official, saw that his face was very kind, and the villagers of Xi Village, whose life was getting better day by day, suddenly felt that their future life was secure.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Sun Zhengming. Don't listen to his nonsense. I am not a high-ranking official in Chang'an. I am just a farmer. I joined forces with some nobles in Chang'an to buy the land here. Therefore, the production here will It all belongs to our few shareholders, and our shareholders will be responsible for paying taxes to the imperial court and supporting you."

To put it bluntly, a tenant is a kind of hired worker who specializes in farming for the landlord. The situation in Xi Village is no different from that in Xingfu Village. The villagers there, Sun Xiangfu, are regarded as their own family members, and the wealth they produce is also divided in half with them.

Here, there are several joint industries, and the villagers naturally don't have that much preferential treatment. Therefore, after Sun Xiangfu collectively manages this place, he will formulate a salary system for them. After the opening remarks, Sun Xiangfu began to talk about the system.

"In the future, all agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in the village, including the breeding industry that may be developed in the future, will continue to be under the management of Wang Erniu. Each family only needs to complete the production tasks assigned by Wang Erniu to get corresponding remuneration. So how to calculate the remuneration? ? Next, I will tell you something..."

Regarding the management of each farm, Sun Xiangfu discussed the details with several major shareholders in Chang'an early in the morning, including the distribution of remuneration. First of all, Sun Xiangfu will manage the basic expenses of the villagers, such as food, clothing, housing, and even medical care.

Then, [-]% of all output will be distributed to each villager on a head-to-head basis every year. If you want to get more, you can produce more, and you can have more children to share the accounts. For childbearing, several major shareholders It is encouraged, population is wealth!

Then there is the individual scoring project. After completing the collective task, individuals can also complete additional work and obtain work points, which can be exchanged for remuneration. In addition, the person in charge of each small project will give a certain performance reward.

When Sun Xiangfu told all these things to the villagers, the villagers immediately knelt down to Sun Xiangfu. There is such a good owner in the world, who manages food, official residence, clothes and medical treatment, and still has money to pay. , Officials working for the imperial court don't have such good benefits!

"Fellow folks, you have paid your labor to make money for us. We give you living security and a little surplus. This is what you should do. However, this does not mean that you will live without worry from now on. People have no ideals, and they are no different from salted fish. I think To live a better life, you still need to work hard on your own.

Like Chang’an’s Xingfu Village, I will ask my husband to set up a school here later. All the children in the village can go to the school, including yourself, to learn and read. Whoever is capable of being a manager is like Wang Like a bully, how much money does he earn a year, I'm afraid it will scare you to death..."

Sun Xiangfu only chatted with the villagers for an hour or two, but within these two hours, all the villagers seemed to see a road to the light, read, read, manage a farm with an annual income of several Baiguan, these words have been circling in their minds until after lunch, Sun Xiangfu, accompanied by Wang Erniu, went to the field, and many people still looked at Sun Xiangfu's back reluctantly.

"Village chief, wheat is grown all around Luoyang, and our village is no exception. About [-] mu are planted, and the rest are all soybeans." Wang Erniu pointed to a lush wheat tunnel.

Sun Xiangfu pulled out the wheat seedlings and looked at the soil. Obviously, Wang Erniu crushed the soil before planting according to his request, but he didn't know if the plowing was deep enough. For this kind of dry wheat field that is planted all year round, it must be plowed year by year. Only by deepening the plowing layer and applying enough fertilizer can the wheat grow well.

"If you plant wheat again next year, the land will have to be plowed at least half a foot deeper than this year. In addition, the sowing is still too dense, and the fertility in the field is not enough. Most of the ears of wheat will not grow full. It is better to sow less. The amount of sowing next year At least [-]% to [-]% reduction."

As Sun Xiangfu said, Wang Erniu nodded and took note. Sun Xiangfu had actually told him about this problem before, but he couldn't take care of all the villagers sowing seeds alone. Although they heard his yelling, they habitually sowed more. In their view, if you sow more, you will reap more.

Walking around in the wheat field and in the soybean field, Sun Xiangfu basically knew the basics of farming in Xi Village. On the way back to the village, Sun Xiangfu said to Wang Erniu, "I think everyone is right now. You are still convinced, you should take this opportunity to train more management talents who listen to you, so that when there is a big move in the village, you won't be alone.

In addition, Luoyang is surrounded by plains, and there is no way to build a reservoir, so you can just find a low-lying place to dig earth and burn bricks to build a house!In addition to the renovation of the villagers' houses, the pig farms and chicken farms were also built in advance. At that time, when the soil was dug out, the fish ponds would almost be completed. After finishing these works as soon as possible, Chang'an will soon have chicks and pigs as well as The seeds of the new crop were delivered. "

"Well, we need to make more, our village is full of people." Wang Erniu said with excitement when he heard that the farm would be opened soon.

Of course, what he was most looking forward to in his heart was the things planted in the village using new methods, so he asked, "How are the things planted in our village at the beginning of the new year growing?"

"It's very good! After a while, when the fruit is ripe, Dali should send some to Luoyang for sale, and then you can try something new." Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.

The farming potential of Xi Village is much greater than that of Xingfu Village. First of all, there are many fields. In addition, it is not difficult to create several large irrigated fields along the streams here. For the cultivation of crops that require a lot of water, there is Xingfu Village There is no advantage. Now that there is a fast boat, the commute between Chang'an and Luoyang is very fast. In the future, some crops can be cultivated in Xicun.
