MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm-Chapter 309 309 Rewards and penalties

   Chapter 309 309 There are prizes and penalties

   They all felt that Lin Xiaoyue's idea was a bit whimsical, and they couldn't believe that sweet potatoes could create so much value.

   "Just this house, there is really not enough space. However, if there is not enough space, build it." Lin Xiaoyue said directly.

   "Anyway, the surrounding land is ready-made. Just next to the house, circle two pieces of land."

   "A pig farm and a chicken farm."

   "The pig farm is built directly with walls and capped. Walls are built inside, and pens are divided. Three or four pigs are fed to one pig sty, and hundreds of pig pens are divided."

  In this way, on a pig farm, she can raise three or four hundred pigs.

   "Management of the pig farm is also simple. Four or five people are arranged to prepare pig food for the pigs, and two or three people to clean up the pig manure in the pigpen."

   "Three or four hundred pigs, it sounds scary, but if you really take care of it, you don't need ten people."

   Everyone was stunned.

  This...that seems to make sense.

   Ordinary farmer thinks it is difficult to take care of two pigs.

   That's because farmers have a lot of other things to do besides taking care of pigs.

  If you don’t do anything else and only take care of the pigs on a special trip, with seven or eight people together, it is indeed possible to take care of the pig farm well.

  Lin Xiaoyue saw that the three stewards didn't speak, but she seemed to be listening, and continued: "The chicken farm is also a reason."

   "Chicken farms are simpler, just arrange people to feed, pick up eggs and clean up chicken manure every day!"

   The three stewards were all moved.

   Compared with pig farms, chicken farms are actually more worth trying.

   After all, chicks are much cheaper than piglets, and they are much easier to buy.

   The chicken farm is going to fail, and the losses will be smaller.

   Before the three of them could speak, Lin Xiaoyue had already continued.

   "If there is not enough manpower, I will hire someone. Just in time, I will not rent out the land of the three villages in the coming year."

   "When the time comes, Zhuangzi will directly issue an announcement and hire the surrounding villagers to come to Zhuangzi to help."

   “Wages are based on age, gender and job content.”

   The three stewards only felt that their thoughts could not keep up with the speed of Lin Xiaoyue's speech.

   Not renting land? Pay the tenant farmers instead? To give money to the tenant farmers?

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at the three stewards.

   "Isn't the land difficult to rent? Then don't rent it."

   "The villagers nearby are reluctant to rent land, but choose to work in the town because they feel that working makes more money than farming."

   "Next year, our Zhuangzishang will also provide you with the opportunity to work. You will be paid on a daily basis, and wages will be distributed uniformly at the end of the month."

   "Zhuangzi is closer to them, and he has work to do every day. There's no reason why they wouldn't come."

   The three stewards were startled.

   That is to say, but if you hire so many people, the cost of wages alone will not be low.

  Lin Xiaoyue saw the three people's worries, and continued: "Don't worry about wages. If you only farm the land, a village with seventy or eighty people is enough."

   "For farming, we only need people between 12 and 62 years old. If you have good physical fitness, you can relax the age limit appropriately."

  Don't blame her for recruiting child labor, there was no such saying in ancient times.

  In the countryside, a twelve-year-old child, when it comes to work, is sometimes no worse than a fifty or sixty-year-old. .

   "The wages for farming are 50 cents a day. And you have to tell the villagers in advance that you don't want to cheat."

   "This news is released, I believe that many people will come to sign up, except for those young and middle-aged people."

   After all, although the wages of fifty fen a day is not high, for those old and young, they do not have the age advantage of young adults and can go to work in the town.

   Now they have the opportunity to earn fifty cents a day, which is not bad.

   "Of course, we also accept young adults." Lin Xiaoyue continued.

   "However, you don't need to arrange for them to plant the land. Instead, you have to arrange for them to do some heavy work. Such as carrying water, fertilizing, irrigating. And when it comes to harvesting in the field, let them carry the things in the field, etc."

   "Of course, these people do heavy work, and the wages are correspondingly higher. At that time, depending on the content of the work, the corresponding wages will be paid."

   While listening, everyone imagined Lin Xiaoyue's arrangement.

   found that after dividing her labor like this, she actually seemed to be able to plant all the land.

   Moreover, the efficiency may be even higher.

   "Also, on the pig farm and the chicken farm, it's similar to employing people. However, people in these two places have to have fixed-term contracts, and they can't let people come and go as they do with farming."

   The three stewards nodded.

  The job is different, and the way you hire people does have to change.

   "Miss is right. But as a result, the cost of the village will be huge." Cao De couldn't hold back and said to Lin Xiaoyue.

He listened to what Miss    said, and slowly, he also agreed with Miss's idea.

   It’s just that these ideas really need a lot of money to be implemented.

   Forget about hiring people to do work, you need to pay.

   In addition, building pig farms and chicken farms also requires money.

  The construction of a house is only a small part of the expenditure, the bigger one is actually the money to buy piglets and chicks.

   Especially piglets, the price is not cheap.

   And farming is far from being as simple as what the lady said.

   After taking care of it, you will naturally be able to earn a lot of money by then.

   But if you don’t raise it well, the piglets or chicks will die.

   Even worse, in the event of a disease that causes piglets and chickens to die in batches, the loss will be huge.

  Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

   "The cost is naturally large, but it is still within the acceptable range."

  Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while, and said, "In this way, I will give you a budget of 2,000 taels for each village. Then I will arrange for the accountant to come over and cooperate with you."

   "Requirements, pig farms and chicken farms must be built, and the farmer's policy of hiring people to farm the land cannot be changed."

   "For some jobs, if you really can't trust outsiders and you need to buy someone, you can also report to me, and then go to Zhou's firm to choose someone. Of course, this money has to be deducted from the budget."

   "The money has been spent, and I only have one requirement from my side. That is, by the end of next year, the output of Zhuangzi must reach 4,000 taels of silver."

"The output I'm talking about refers to, first, the money left on the bank's books. Second, the discount of the remaining agricultural product inventory on the farm. The third is the discount of the value of livestock. As for the houses built and the like, not counted."

   As soon as these words came out, the three stewards were shocked.

   Give 2,000 taels of silver, which will double in one year, not including the expenses of building a house and buying people?

   This is too cruel...

   Even Li Xiao and Zhou Shi were a little surprised.

   Doubled every year, or on the basis of 2,000 taels, this... She really dared to think.

   The three stewards looked at each other, and their expressions became a little terrified one by one.

   Fan Ming just wanted to speak, but heard Lin Xiaoyue speak again.

   "Don't think that the goal of 4,000 taels of silver is too high, everyone, let me finish my sentence first."

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at the three stewards, "When planting peppers, the yield per mu can generally reach more than 3,000 catties. According to our situation here, we can plant three seasons a year."

   "After the obtained red peppers are dried, ten pounds of raw peppers can probably yield one kilogram of dried red peppers. And these dried red peppers, at that time, will be uniformly converted at the price of fifteen cents per kilogram."

  The four stewards listened and calculated in their hearts.

  According to the lady, one mu of land can produce 3,000 catties of peppers, which is roughly 300 catties of dried red peppers.

   Then dried red peppers cost 15 cents per pound, so the income from one acre of peppers is 4,500 cents, which is equivalent to 425 coins.

   Planting three seasons a year, in that year, the income of peppers per mu of land is thirteen taels of silver.

   They have several Zhuangzi, and each Zhuangzi has more than 300 acres of land.

   That’s just over 4,000 taels of chili’s income!

   After calculating the result, the eyes of the three stewards were all shocked.

   Then, the mentality also changed.

  If this pepper has such a high yield, the income from this pepper alone is very impressive!

   You must know that in addition to peppers, there are sweet potatoes with even more amazing yields.

   That thing can be used to feed livestock. At that time, the income of pig farms and chicken farms will probably be no less than that of peppers.

   In this way, it seems that the lady's request is not too much.

  Lin Xiaoyue seemed to think of something, and suddenly spoke again.

   "Forget it, I'll give you another job. After the dried red peppers come out, you will process the dried red peppers into chili powder as required."

   "When the time comes, send the chili powder to the workshop in Dashi Village. The price will be counted as twenty cents per pound."

   The chili powder is directly given to the workshop, and the workers will not even know the real appearance of the chili pepper, so the confidentiality is stronger.

   As for the people who work in the village, although they grow chili peppers, they do not know what the chili peppers are used for.

   In addition, there are people from Liang Yu and Zhou Ye who are watching, those people are not so easy to make small moves.

  The three stewards heard that after grinding the chili into powder, the unit price could directly increase by five cents, and their faces were all happy.

  Zhuangzi Shang has to hire people anyway, and then hire a few extra people to grind chili powder, and you can make some money.

   "It's just peppers. In addition to peppers, there are sweet potatoes."

   "After sweet potatoes come out, in addition to feeding pigs and chickens, you can also make sweet potato flour and vermicelli. These things are not low in value."

   Especially sweet potato flour, that thing can tenderize meat.

   She believed that Liang Yu would definitely be interested.

   The three stewards were amazed in their hearts, their young lady has so many ideas.

  Lin Xiaoyue waited for a while, but did not see any objection from the three of them.

   only spoke again.

   "Four thousand taels of silver is a test for you. When it's finished, the ranking will be based on the completion. At the end of the year, all the people in the village will be rewarded. In addition, if you have done a particularly good job, I will have other considerations here."

   The three people's hearts are moved.

  Other considerations?

Miss    not only has these three villages, but also has shops in the town, and also has workshop business.

   Among them, the business of the workshop is the largest, and it cooperates with Ruyi Building and Wednesday Ye.

  It's good to be a steward on Zhuangzi, but who doesn't want to go further?

Miss    is not an ordinary person, and the business will only grow bigger in the future.

   If you can go to work under Miss, wouldn't it be more interesting than being a steward in a village?

  Thinking of this, the three stewards felt a little moved.

Miss    did not set any authority, and directly gave each of them two thousand taels of silver for free use.

  On this kind of bearing and courage, few masters have it.

  The power and money are given to them, how much results can be achieved in the end really depends on their ability.

   This clock Gui and Cao De thought of more.

   Before they thought that the young lady was unusual to Fan Ming, but now, they found that this was not the case.

  According to the meaning of the lady, the three Zhuangzi each have a budget of two thousand taels of silver. It sounds like everyone has the same cost.

   However, the three Zhuangzi, the number of people on the Zhuangzi, and the land in the Zhuangzi are different.

  Although Master Zhou and Master Wednesday helped to gather some land, they still couldn't change the fact that the Zhou family had the least land.

   In other words, in this competition, Fan Ming's cost is actually lower than them.

   And Miss, it seems, she didn't mean to open the back door for Fan Ming.

  Fan Ming felt a little bitter.

  He thought that the young lady came to Zhoujiazhuang first, because she favored him.

   Now it seems that I really think too much.

   But, even so, he could not have an opinion.

   Say it, aren't you waiting to be despised by the young lady?

   is less than others, so be less.

   The capital of two thousand taels of silver can do a lot.

   It's a big deal, he thinks of a way and finds a remedy elsewhere.

  Lin Xiaoyue was very satisfied with the response of the three.

   Then, the conversation changed.

   "But if it can't be done—" He looked at the three of them again.

  The atmosphere suddenly changed suddenly, the heat in the hearts of the three quickly subsided, and even their bodies were tense.

   "Everything should be rewarded and punished. If you can't achieve your goals, it means your ability is limited." Lin Xiaoyue picked up the tea and took a sip.

   "Then it's no longer suitable to occupy the position of steward. Instead, this son should be given up and replaced by someone who is capable."

   The expressions of the three stewards changed drastically.

Miss   , this is to dismiss them.

   But it only took a moment for the three of them to calm down one after another.

   They are only the servants of the young lady. If the young lady really wants to dismiss them, they can just give them a direct order.

   And he even took out 6,000 taels of silver and gave them a toss.

  Things are very simple, the lady just wants to try them with 6,000 taels of silver.

   Let's see what their abilities are like.

  If they are really capable, the lady will naturally reuse them.

   If it was just a fake name, the lady would definitely not tolerate it.

  Thinking of this, the three of them made up their minds.

   "Miss's words are reasonable. It is only reasonable that there are rewards and punishments for everything. Fan Ming, you must go all out to live up to the expectations of Miss." Fan Ming stood up first and gave Lin Xiaoyue a clasped fist.

   Zhong Gui and Cao De saw this and quickly got up.

   "I will do my best to live up to Miss's expectations!" He followed.

  , this Fan Ming is really not easy.

   Even knowing that he was at a disadvantage, he even took the initiative to express his position to the young lady first, which made him feel good.

   Sure enough, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Fan Ming with a smile.

   "Okay. Next, let's talk about hiring people to farm the land." She hadn't said anything about personnel management.

   So, next, Lin Xiaoyue told a few people what she knew about some plans for the management of vegetable farms in the 21st century.

   Then it is about pig farms and chicken farms, some of my own suggestions.

   This conversation went on for an hour and a half.

   The three stewards clearly understood the responsibilities on their shoulders, listened very carefully, and occasionally consulted and discussed with Lin Xiaoyue.

   This is what led to, chatting for so long.
