The reason why this canteen was set up was to facilitate the production of Kohler bread.
The so-called "Korel bread" is actually a softer bread made of mixed rye flour and grass bran. This kind of bread is much stronger than the traditional black stick bread that is as hard as bricks mixed with a large amount of wild vegetables, soil, stones and wood chips. Although 30% of the ingredients are grass bran, because grass bran is ground powder, it will not make the bread hard.
However, with the gradual increase in grain production in the North Sea, the content of grass chaff in the "Korel Bread" in several developed provinces such as East Friesland is gradually decreasing. Even in wealthy villages like Crost, the content of grass chaff in the canteen is less than 5%... The taste is no different from normal black bread...
According to Marin's requirements, the bread in several core provinces of Beihai Kingdom is supplied in a unified and centralized manner. The manor under Marin's name "Korel Bread" has the lowest grass bran content. For example, the village of Krost is the manor under Marin's name. Because Marin is the richest. But other nobles are not sure about the manor under the name of other nobles. In order to save money, some nobles will still maintain a ratio of 30% grass bran and supply bread. However, Marin forced a manor - it is strictly forbidden to increase the ratio of grass bran to more than 30%, otherwise severe punishment...
In addition to bread, salted fish is also supplied in a centralized manner. However, this thing is not available every meal. Some villages may only be distributed once every few days. However, wealthy villages may be distributed more. For example, Crost Village basically does not exceed two or three days.
As for clothes, beer, cloth, etc., you have to pay for it yourself. The manors in Beihai Country implement a salary system rather than a harvest system. Serfs are actually more like farm workers. Marin will pay each farmer a salary equivalent to 2 Finney every day. Women are halved and children are fewer. However, Marin does not give cash, but pays for food.
In other words, each serf couple can only get 3 pounds of rye a day. In a year, it only looks like 1,000 pounds of rye. However, each couple cultivates as many as hundreds of acres of farmland, and the yield per mu in the East Friesland area is basically more than 500 pounds. So, on average, a serf couple earns only 10 pounds of rye per mu.
However, the accounts cannot be settled in this way. Because the manor in Beihai Kingdom is responsible for the food...
How expensive is food in Europe? If you manage food every day, the food consumed by a family is worth at least two or three pounds of food. In other words, in fact, each serf earns more than 20 pounds of rye per mu.
Moreover, according to Marin's regulations, the serfs of the North Sea do not need to bear the church's tithe. Marin has negotiated with the Holy See and pay 15 pounds of grain per acre of arable land by tax-packing. Only half of them are handed over to the Archbishop of Cologne, who collects tithes in the northwest of Germany. The remaining half belongs to the private funds of the Church of the North Sea. And the half of the tithes collected by the Archbishop of Cologne will actually be intercepted and distributed by the Archbishop of Cologne, and then the rest will be handed over to the Vatican.
In addition, the cost of raising horses and cattle in each manor is also borne by the manor. If a farmer gets sick, the manor will also be sent to the town for medical treatment by carriages...
...
In other words, although the serfs don’t get much money and food, they have to bear the burden of eating and seeing a doctor, so they have no worries at all. And they can completely change the thousands of pounds of food for clothes or other consumer goods every year. As for children going to school, it is also free...
Even the lunch for children at school is provided by Beihai Country for free. Although it is not rich, it can definitely be full. Moreover, Malin also has a plan - that is, to provide each child with a body with a glass of milk or goat milk every day...
But the implementation of this plan is too difficult, mainly because the reproduction speed of black and white cows is too slow to keep up with the demand!
In desperation, Malin chose to cultivate the milk sheep that reproduces and grows faster - East Friesian sheep. However, the fishy smell of goat milk was difficult to solve before. It was not until Malin introduced high-yield large radish from the Ming Dynasty, and cooked it with radish slices and goat milk to eliminate the smell of goat milk.
Nowadays, Marin has begun to promote the breeding of milk sheep and radish in many farms, in order to provide children with goat milk. Moreover, if there is excess milk after cows give birth, Marin will also ask the manor manager to collect it and give priority to those who are growing up.
Although the cows from the Crimean Khanate have far less milk production than those of the Dutch black and white flower cows, there is basically no milk left. Manager Franz has already planned to do it - once the three cows give birth, he will be sent to an experienced woman to serve and milk. The extra milk will be given priority to the few voice-changing teenagers in the village who are in the developmental stage.
Because, according to Marin's order, teenagers in the "adult developmental period" can grow taller by drinking more milk. As the manor manager, Franz naturally hopes that the boys in the village can grow into tall and strong young men. In this way, whether they do farm work or serve in the army for the Grand Duke, they will have an advantage.
According to Malin's manor management assessment method, it is possible to provide Beihai Kingdom with a strong and excellent source of troops, which can add points to political achievements. Not only can you get more bonuses, but you may also be upgraded and take a higher position in the town...

When Franz's carriage passed outside the cafeteria, the serfs greeted him:
"The master in charge is back?" In the eyes of the serfs, even the manager of the manor is a "man" as well. This is not surprising. In the 20th century, the village chiefs of some remote villages in China are also the absolute controllers of the village. Moreover, the farmers in the villages in later generations actually live independently, and the village chiefs have not had a great influence on them. However, in this manor model, the managers of the company are more like managers of the company in later generations, and the serfs are more like small employees in later generations, so they are naturally more afraid of managing the business. What's more, the serfs do not have the right to change jobs these days. Therefore, in their eyes, they can determine the good or bad of their life and even punish their manors, which is a perfect boss...

Franz nodded slightly to the serfs and did not give any warm smiles. In fact, it is not advisable to give the serfs a smile.
In the officialdom of later generations, only high-level officials would smile to ordinary people. Grassroots cadres would basically deliberately put on a stern face. It was not that they pretended to behave, but that they needed work.
The reason why big people give ordinary people a smile is because the gap between the two is too big and they don’t have much intersection in normal times. It’s nothing to give you a smile, and you can also gain a good reputation.
But, please give ordinary smiling faces to grassroots cadres? Some people are really good at swearing...
No matter which country the farmers are, they are a little calculating. Moreover, there are thorns everywhere. It’s nothing if you give honest people a smile. If you give the second-rate people in the village, it will definitely be up to you...
Therefore, in later generations, when a grassroots cadre, he must not only know how to do things, but also have the deterrent power to be able to defend the second-rate people in the village. Even, he must have a certain amount of force...
However, this is not needed in the 21st century. Because in that era, the male laborers in the village went out to work. Even the second-rate people in the village went to the city to cheat, and some even turned to the wrong and earned money by working. Therefore, only college students in the 21st century could survive. If the second-rate people in the village stayed in their hometowns in the 20th century, college students wanted to be village officials? Practice martial arts first. Otherwise, the situation would not be kept... Back then, the village cadres were all made by fighting, or the Zong family was very strong, and they could call many clan brothers when they fought. Otherwise, don’t think about doing things well...
...
Of course, there are not many thorny gangsters in the rural areas of Beihai Country. After all, this is not the era of legal system, and gangsters can be dealt with without breaking the law. What's more, the farmers are all serfs, so they dare not blow up thorns.
What? Do you want to rebel? Wait, I will send someone to the town to call people... Soon, 8,000 police officers trained by 320 old brothers who retired from Marin will come to suppress...
As far as Franz knows, there is a police station artillery tower in the town of Mormerland, with 25 strong policemen...
...
After nodding slightly to the villagers, Franz called the three borrowed cows to the cowshed to feed the grass. He himself, with his hands on his back, went to the single room behind the cafeteria to have dinner. Along the way, there were serfs who greeted him with bread and salted fish...
After all, it was the spring plowing period, and now salted fish are produced every day. After the serfs brought the salted fish home, they could eat it directly or add some pickled cabbage pickled with cabbage and cook it. After all, everyone has a local stove at home.
