Latest website: Man Bao was startled and said: "I don't want to turn my professional land into private land. Isn't that a state affair?"

She said: "I just want to manage the tenants and farmland by myself, farm more carefully, and have a higher harvest. If I don't become an official in the future, or change my official position or job farm, my original job farm will be the same."

It’s going to be returned.”

Liu Huandao: "I also said that you are not such a person. Grandpa has no doubts. He only said that the management of job fields is also very complicated. If you want to manage it yourself, you can only go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to apply for registration."

Bai Shan then said to Man Bao, "That's probably all right. I'll go with you when I'm free."

Man Bao rolled his eyes and said, "Sir's job is near me. Let's invite him to join us."

Mr. Zhuang doesn't worry about the job field at all. He is now fully focused on studying and teaching the prince and his three disciples. The job field should not be the same as salary. When the time comes, he will receive his due share.

Is that enough?

But Manbao was full of confidence, and there were many people from the old Zhou family in the capital. They were much better than him in farming, so he nodded after thinking about it.

Then he said: "It's not easy for you to come out of the palace. Since you have already agreed in writing with Liu Shang, just leave this matter to me. I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to apply for the formalities."

Both Man Bao and Bai Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was an exception, and they were still a little embarrassed.

Mr. Zhuang smiled at them, comforted them, and then let them play, keeping the matter in mind.

The reason why he took the initiative to take over the matter was to find out more details.

He didn't know much about the management of job fields, but as far as he knew, job fields had always been managed by the Household Department. After the harvest in summer and autumn every year, the Household Department would calculate everyone's rental output and distribute it to the household.

Department delivery.

Even for local officials, there are also dedicated people in the yamen who are responsible for this matter. However, compared to the officials in the capital, most local officials can manage their own fields.

After all, it is under my own jurisdiction, which is very convenient.

Unlike Beijing officials, their job fields have spread to Yongzhou, Shangzhou, Liangzhou and other places.

Therefore, except for some with particularly large job fields that require their own management, most officials are managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Because the cost of management is also quite high, it is better to hand it all over to the household department to save a lot of effort.

When Mr. Zhuang approached the Ministry of Revenue, the official in charge of the field of household affairs only glanced at Mr. Zhuang and gave him two forms to fill out.

Then he said: "Master Zhou still needs to use her seal to confirm that it is her own intention."

Mr. Zhuang knew at a glance that someone had already said hello, so he smiled and inquired about the current situation of the job field.

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs manages the positions of officials of all sizes, the rank of the official in charge of this matter is not high, only seventh rank, which is slightly higher than Mr. Zhuang.

Because Mr. Zhuang came to apply for self-management, he happened to have some things to note clearly with him, so he took the opportunity to talk about the management of this job field.

Mr. Zhuang returned to Chongwen Hall with a thoughtful look on his face, and then called Man Bao to him. Of course, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang happened to be having lunch, so the three of them were called together.

"Manbao, you have a thousand acres of farmland in total. Have you figured out how to farm such a lot of land?"

Man Bao immediately said: "Aren't there tenant farmers? I will just give instructions to the tenant farmers when the time comes. My father wants to take care of it himself."

Mr. Zhuang said: "There may be no tenant farmers."

Man Bao's eyes widened, and Bai Shan raised his head in surprise, "How come there are no tenant farmers?"

"Because it's hard to find tenant farmers." Mr. Zhuang said, "Why do you think the Ministry of Household Affairs is so lenient? If you want to manage your own land, it will be given to you right away?"

He said: "Because the job field is not easy to manage at all."

Not only is it difficult to manage, it's simply a thankless effort.

Even though most of the farmland was fertile land, people from the Ministry of Household Affairs said that not many tenant farmers were willing to rent farmland. “The court rarely gave them good seeds and farm tools, but the rent was fixed. An acre of land rented from two to six bushels of rice.

The time between buckets of rice depends on the soil fertility."

Bai Shan did the math and said, "That's reasonable."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said: "But this must be given. If you rent other people's land, the employer may also provide you with some fine seeds and farm tools, but the court has nothing, so they don't like renting land for farming."

"Many tenant farmers are forced to rent their fields, so if you want to manage your own farmland, it may be difficult to recruit tenants."

Man Bao said: "You have to see it in person to know."

After counting the days, Bai Shan said: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that foreign vassals will come to Korea during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. They will have a few more days off. How about we go to Yongzhou to see it?"

Man Bao's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Okay, okay."

Even if you don’t go to see Zhitian, it’s still good to go to Yongzhou.

Bai Erlang also wanted to go, "It's not far anyway. We'll be there in half a day. We can stay in a village in the countryside for a few more days. I heard that the sheep and scorpions in Yongzhou are particularly delicious."

Bai Shan and Man Bao wanted to go even more.

Mr. Zhuang, who still had many words to say, was silent for a moment and then simply handed a pamphlet to Man Bao, "Although the farmland has been left to our own management, there are still requirements, such as all rent and taxes with tenant farmers, fixed

The rent cannot exceed six buckets of rice, and the sub-lease cannot exceed 60%."

This was the only measure the imperial court took to protect tenant farmers.

Man Bao agreed, and after reading the regulations, he said to Bai Erlang: "You can actually ask for 60% of the sublease, but it's really dark. I thought everyone would ask for 40%. Isn't your family always asking for 40%?"

"It's divided by places." Bai Erlang didn't know much about it, but every year the village head came to the house to report on the situation, so he also listened and said, "In some places, my father also gets 50%."

Man Bao was curious, "Why is it different?"

Bai Erlang: "How do I know? How about I ask my father for you when I go back?"

Bai Shan said: "It's because the places are different, and the soil fertility is also different."

He said: "After all, Luojiang County is where I live. Even if I want to make good friends with my neighbors, I should take less rent and tax. For other places, I will take less for thin land and more fertile land. Now my home is in Longzhou.

The rent and tax collected in this area is mostly 40%, but only 50% in some places."

Man Bao and Bai Erlang were stunned for a moment.

"Grandma said, even if we don't live in Longzhou now, it is still our hometown, where our family is, and we should still run the local business well." Bai Zhi said meaningfully: "Rabbits don't eat the grass next to their nests. They usually don't even eat grass.

If the people living in the area around your home charge generous rents, they will probably not be able to survive for a long time. Even wealthy families have to be more tolerant to the tenants around their home."

It's a very real question, but for some reason, Man Bao felt a little cold in her heart. She thought to herself: Isn't this the kind of exploitation written in some books in the encyclopedia?

Bai Shan had obviously thought about it. He glanced at Man Bao and said, "If you have to manage your own land, it may not be a bad thing for the tenant farmers."
