The group of people gathered together and discussed for a while. Everyone felt that this was similar to the past. Even if they were to farm their own land, they would still be able to produce the same amount of work. Moreover, the main family not only exempted them from the rent they owed previously, but also increased the rent they had to pay from 30% to 20%.
Although it was only 10%, it was of great significance to every household. According to the current harvest, every household would basically get rid of the most basic food to fill their stomachs. There would not be any surplus. The capable families could only save a few hundred wen a year. Now, the 10% of rent that was waived could increase the income of each household by 300 to 400 wen.
In this way, in just two to three years, every household would have a considerable amount of savings. Even if there was a disaster in the future, they could use these savings to survive the disaster. One had to know that these tenants originally had land at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. They had no choice but to sell their land because of the disaster, so they became tenants! Therefore, they were the group of people who were most afraid of all kinds of disasters. In the past, they could still sell their land, but now? He couldn't even sell the land!
Of course, it didn't matter whether they agreed or not. It would be best if they agreed, but if they didn't, Li Yin would force this matter forward.
Next, Li Yin announced the evaluation he had written last night regarding 'centimeter'. Based on the daily workload of an ordinary laborer, it was 10 centimetres. The more you work, the more you get. The less you work, the less you get. If you miss a day of work for no reason, not only will you not get a centimetre, but you will also be deducted 2 points. Illness was an exception. You would need to take leave in advance for other matters. You could only take two days off every month. However, if he did not take leave for a month in a row, he would gain an additional 30 centimeters. Li gave this a name: " Full Attendance Points."
Then, the women who could not work in the village would also be gathered together to burn firewood and cook for these laborers. Each person would be given three centimeters a day. The rest of the elderly and children could also be farmed for one to three minutes a day. If they did other things within their ability, they would also receive a small amount of centimeters.
Just like that, the 'production team' was established. Little Six became the captain of the production team, and the vice-captain was the sturdy farmer who had previously said that he could fight two or three people alone.
In order to give everyone enthusiasm, Li Yin also specially added a rule. All farmers could use centimeters in advance to exchange for food from the main family. Every centimeter was 5 catties of rice.
The next day, when they saw a large number of grains being transported from Chang 'an to the village, the farmers were immediately motivated. Even if there was only one strong laborer in each family, half of them were women, and half of them were elderly and children. In total, they could get 20 centimeters a day. Every day, he could exchange for ten buckets of rice. These rice did not even need to pay rent! Even if a family only worked for six or seven days a month, it would be enough to feed the entire family.
Not enough. The people of this era were simple and honest! There were only a few people who were lazy and lazy. Most of the people were down-to-earth and hardworking.
In fact, the enthusiasm of these farmers made Li Yin look a little afraid!
Almost every strong laborer could get more than 15 centimeters a day. The one with the most points was the vice-captain of the production team, Zhao Daniu. He got 51 points on the first day!
Even a woman could complete a day's worth of farm work and get 10 centimeters a day.
Then, Li Yin asked Buttface to bring a few experienced old people to Chang 'an City to buy some chickens, ducklings, geese, and pigs. He handed them over to the old people and children in the village to raise.
These farmers didn't really believe what Li Yin said about exchanging five catties of rice for every minute, because it was a little too much. Therefore, after the production team finished their first day of work, the farmers ran over one after another to exchange their points for rice.
After everyone exchanged for the corresponding amount of rice, they were all extremely excited. They made up their minds to work harder in the future and earn more centimeters.
The only regret was that they could only use the rice for their own consumption and could not resell it. If they were caught reselling the rice in private, they would be immediately expelled from the village.
……
"Young Master, if this continues, they will eat us out of money.”This was not the first time Xiang 'er had complained about this matter. In Xiang' er's opinion, the conditions Li gave these farmers were simply too good. If this continued, the final harvest would definitely not be enough to make up for the current deficit.
Before she entered the palace, she was considered a young lady from a small family. She knew some common words and simple arithmetic, but no matter how she calculated, Li Yin would eventually lose money. How much could the yield of more than 700 mu of land be? Two stones per mu of land added up to 1500 stones. Multiplied by 12, that was 18000 bushels. After deducting one-tenth of the tax, there were still 16200 bushels left. Two centimeters for a bushels of rice. 32400 centimeters would make Li Yin unable to get a single cent of income from the village. If it was distributed to all the farmers, each person only needed to get more than 300 centimeters!
For an animal like Zhao Daniu, 300 points was just a matter of a few days.
Li Yin smiled." It's fine. It's more than a month away from the autumn harvest. Setting up a production team means that their work in the past few months has been in vain. This can be considered a little compensation for them.”
"But…"
Li Yin smiled and picked up a piece of white radish that had been cut into four small cubes from the table. He stuffed it into Xiang 'er's small mouth and said,"There are only twenty-three households in total. When they have enough food, they will lose interest in food.”
Of course, he wouldn't do a losing business. Indeed, it looked like he was losing money, but thinking about it carefully, could those farmers exchange all their 'points' for rice? They couldn't be resold. If there were too many of them, there wouldn't even be a place to store them. Next year, they would become old grain.
Therefore, each family could only store 1,800 jin of rice.
As long as his reputation was spread, those farmers would have trust in him and would be at ease to deposit their 'centimeters'.
After a while, Li Yin would definitely open up the option to exchange 'centimeters' for other things. For example, a chicken was 50 centimeters, and a pound of pork was 30 centimeters. Another example was building a house that was 1000 centimeters tall.
Xiang 'er had neglected a very important matter. She had calculated according to the previous years' harvest and concluded that Li Yin would lose money. However, now that the commoners could eat their fill and work hard, their efficiency was definitely higher than before. In the past, they could finish the work in less than a month. Everyone was competing to do it. Coupled with cooperation, the production efficiency would only be higher.
Li Yin naturally wouldn't let them idle in this extra time. There were plenty of things for them to do!
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Yin's face. It was time to harvest the farm again.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720194:50PM
