Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 128 Artificially Changing Rice Seeds

Both Village Chief Jiang and Wang Sanhu said it was feasible, and they had no objection to growing Jingyao with both crops.It's just that I always feel that the day of sowing is wrong.

"Grandpa Jiang, Third Uncle, shall we wait a few days before planting the seeds? Is the weather suitable?" Generally speaking, the temperature is still a bit low, which may not be conducive to the germination of the seeds.

Village Chief Jiang was thinking about it, but Wang Sanhu said, "It's feasible. The south of the Five Ridges is so warm now, and the ground here must be warmer. The seeds can germinate, and the wasteland we opened up will have to be turned over again, and then we will have to dig ditches to keep the ridges. Only then can the seeds be planted. In this way, it has already entered February, and it will definitely be no problem to plant seeds after that.”

"That's right, Lingnan gets hotter after the first month!"

"In this case, third uncle, you can figure it out. I don't know much about these things." Jingyao smiled brightly, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She has a specialization in martial arts, although killers are proficient in eighteen martial arts, but I only understand the eighteen things, and there are more than eighteen things in the world.

Village Chief Jiang also laughed and said, "I guess you don't understand too well. We came to you to ask you to ask for seeds, and secondly, Grandpa Jiang came to ask you how to settle this seed with everyone."

"I don't know what Grandpa Jiang thinks?"

"Girl, are you still getting involved with your Grandpa Jiang? If you have an idea, just say it, and you can't take it for nothing, but now the big guys don't have any money to give you." Village Chief Jiang pretended to be slightly angry.

Jingyao chuckled, "I'm going to tell the truth if that's the case."

Village Chief Jiang nodded, as it should be.

"Grandpa Jiang, I asked my cousin to bring back the seeds to tide over the difficulties with everyone, but I borrowed the money to buy the seeds from my cousin. I don't want everyone to use silver to pay back the money for my seeds in the future. It means that everyone uses labor to pay off this kind of debt.”

Arrive manually?Village head Jiang looked at Jingyao suspiciously.There was no way he couldn't see the little girl in front of him as a normal nine-year-old child.So when the kid brought it up, he couldn't help but think about it.

"Although this is a good thing, don't you suffer too much?"

"That's not enough. If they can go out and do things like before, they can earn dozens of pennies a day. Now they help me do things, but what I pay is not money but grain seeds."

"Then how do you change it?"

"I remember that before each of us opened up five acres of land, the corn seeds and rice seeds on the five acres of land were exchanged for two days." One mu of corn seeds weighed about four to five catties, and corn cost six pennies per catty, two She can't lose much from the corn seeds plus rice seeds in the mu.Because rice seeds are soaked in rice buds and then transplanted, the emergence rate is relatively high, so it saves a lot. One catty of rice is about the same as one mu of land. It is more expensive at 8 Wen per catty, but the rice is only ten per catty.In total, the seeds of the family are less than [-] yuan, and it takes two days of labor to cover it. As for the shipping and labor costs, forget it, she is not at a loss!

But Village Chief Jiang thought that they were low-status and couldn't find a job at all, and even if they did, they wouldn't be paid a normal wage, so he felt that Jingyao was at a loss.

Village Chief Jiang nodded, "Is that really the case?" When he said this, he still looked at Wang Sanhu, as if he needed to confirm again.

But Wang Sanhu didn't look at Village Chief Jiang.

Jingyao nodded affirmatively, "Of course, Grandpa Jiang can also reassure the villagers, I won't let them come back to work when they are busy with farming." Thinking of the farm tools brought back by Feng Er before, she said, "In that case, There is one more thing that Grandpa Jiang will tell you later. You also know that my cousin brought back a lot of farm tools, but this one is not for everyone, I keep it for myself to open up wasteland."

Hearing this, Village Chief Jiang felt a little worried. Before that, he was still thinking that he would not be afraid of delaying sowing and harvesting with so many farm tools. Hey, thinking about it is right, so many farm tools cost a lot of money, and one family can't share one set.But how can they harvest and farm without farm tools?Jiangcun Chief had a sad expression on his face.

Village Chief Jiang tentatively said, "Of course the things you bought yourself belong to your family, but I don't know if you can lend them to the villagers?"

Jing Yao smiled and said, "Of course it can be rented." What she said was renting, not just borrowing, and Village Chief Jiang could also hear the difference.

Then he immediately asked again, "How about the lease method?"

"Grandpa Jiang, don't worry, listen to me first. Don't worry, the lease I said does not require money, and it is exchanged manually like rice seeds. The first season of sowing is about to start, and all my agricultural tools such as corn and rice are all gone." It’s free for everyone to use, but it’s just starting to use labor in exchange for agricultural tools from the time of harvest. Of course, I hope that everyone can think of what kind of business can earn money to buy things for themselves. As for changing a few days, I’m not greedy. We partnered together before Back then, in order to take care of families with fewer families, each family opened up three acres of wasteland. Now everyone’s field is the same as five acres. In the future, those with more families will definitely go to additional reclamation. In this way, my labor can't be converted with five mu as a starting point." Jingyao thought for a while and then said, "So I thought about it, if how many days are exchanged for how many days of labor, everyone will inevitably think that I am fussy. It is better to convert it in mu. One mu of land is labored for one day, and my farm tools are almost enough to distribute to each family. It will not cause the situation that one family spends more days and the other family is useless. But it still needs to be used. It’s a charter, if everyone agrees to this, it will be specified when it is used in the future, and this is roughly the current situation.”

Village head Jiang stroked his beard again, and stared at Jingyao with piercing eyes, making Jingyao wonder, is this not feasible?

"Why do you have such a good brain? Things can be rented, and you don't need money to rent them. Even if the whole family is better off in the future, you probably won't spend money to buy things. And yo, so many people work together to help your family How long will it take you to become the big landlord of our Lihua Village?" Village head Jiang knows very well that according to people's usual thinking, anyway, you can rent it manually, so why spend the extra money to buy it only for a special year? What do you use in your day?If the pots and pans need to be used every day, everyone saves money to buy them without saying a word.Now, even if you don’t buy it, you can also rent it, and you don’t need money, so it’s better to save the money and store it for real.

Besides, Jingyao needs people to work, so what she can do is just open up wasteland and farm land. Anyone can do things, and she is not afraid of using those few days to manually squeeze the villagers.

Jingyao chuckled, as cunning as a fox, she did so with several considerations, one is that she really wants to help everyone take root, although it is also based on the fact that she needs someone to do things for her, and the other is that she doesn't want to help the white-eyed wolf, so it's better to start It is based on the principle of fair exchange.
