The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 257 Appointment Letter

After expressing the thought that had been buried in his heart for a long time, Lin Xiazhi crossed this matter out of his small notebook and rewritten it as waiting for his father to finish writing the agricultural book.

Then he found a day for Xiang Bo to accompany him to the Lying Back Mountain Village.

In Beishan Village, Lin Xiazhi has ten acres of paddy fields, and the tenant farmers of the Qin family have already planted the capital rice according to the method of planting rice twice a year.

Not only the fields of Lin Xiazhi, but also the paddy fields of other landowners in Beishan Village. Varying a round of rice can give them an excuse to collect more rent from tenant farmers, and the tenant farmers also want to grow a round of rice to harvest more rice.

When Lin Xiazhi was wandering around in his own field, he took a look at the rice in other paddy fields in Beishan Village. Everyone attached great importance to the rice fields. In addition, Linjia Village is not too far away in the same county, so the news from them is quite accurate. , also no problem.

After seeing his own farmland, Lin Xiazhi approached Lao Qintou: "Old Qintou, is there anyone in your village who wants to raise rabbits?"

Lin Xiazhi's words made old Qin's heart tense. He couldn't help but want to ask Lin Xiazhi if he wanted to change someone else to raise rabbits, or Lin Xiazhi heard what others said and thought that their Qin family had the secret recipe for raising rabbits. told someone else.

Seeing that Old Qintou seemed to have misunderstood, Lin Xiazhi immediately explained: "Old Qintou, don't be nervous. I mean, if people in your village want to raise rabbits, I support everyone. Our Beishan Village is surrounded by mountains and has abundant fodder. Just right for raising rabbits."

After hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, Old Qintou couldn't react: "Young master, you mean you want everyone to raise and raise rabbits?"

Over the past year, he has been making bamboo pipes for people everywhere, and Lao Qintou has already seen the market. Lin Xiazhi's words made him stumble like this, which is enough to reflect how shocked he is at the moment.

"Yes, that's what I mean. I came to you to find out about everyone's situation." Lin Xiazhi nodded, "I know that most of the villagers in Beishan Village are tenant farmers, and they don't have much money. They buy rabbits and raise them themselves. Is it very likely?"

A tenant farmer is different from a long-term worker. The tenant farmer signs a land lease contract with the landlord, as long as he pays the rent every year according to the rules, and the landlord does not care what the tenant farmer does on weekdays.

On the other hand, long-term workers sign manpower contracts with their employers. The employers pay the long-term workers monthly or quarterly, and all the fruits of labor of the long-term workers belong to the employer.

If most of the villagers in Beishan Village were long-term workers, Lin Xiazhi would not have proposed to let the villagers of Beishan Village raise rabbits, because even if they were raised, the real money would be the landlords, not the long-term workers.

It is precisely because most of the villagers in Beishan Village are tenant farmers that he can really help the tenant farmers by letting them raise rabbits.

Old Qintou realized that this would be an opportunity for the villagers of Beishan Village to change their destiny, so he quickly calmed down and analyzed: "If it's autumn harvest, it's not sure, but now it's spring plowing and another year has passed, I guess everyone has no money .”

"Well, please count how many people in the village are willing to raise rabbits. I can pay them to hire them. Just like how much you raised a rabbit last year, then let the villagers buy cubs or grow rabbits from your hands. Rabbit, go back and raise it by yourself, and in a few days you will sort out the results and tell Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo will come to arrange." Lin Xiazhi said to the old Qin head.

After the autumn harvest last year, the Qin family saved some money, and Lin Xiazhi asked them to buy the rabbits they raised. They would earn as much money as they raised, and they would no longer be employed by Lin Xiazhi.

The Qin family bought rabbits after hearing Lin Xiazhi's advice, and now they make money selling rabbits every day, making much more money than before.

Old Qintou was very grateful to Lin Xiazhi, and carved longevity tablets for Lin Xiazhi and the Lin family at home.

Now Lin Xiazhi allowed the whole village to raise rabbits, and Lao Qintou thanked Lin Xiazhi for his kindness on behalf of the villagers.

It was not the first time that Xiangbo had seen Lin Xiazhi doing these things during these years in Lin's family. He was very familiar with Lin Xiazhi's replacement and arranged things properly.

To be honest, Xiangbo didn’t really understand why Lin Xiazhi spent time and effort doing these things at the beginning. He kept looking for work for the villagers of Linjia Village, Wangshan Village, and Beishan Village. , Tell everyone how the Lin family cultivates the land...

At first, Xiangbo thought, if the Lin family has made a fortune and has money, if they want to do good deeds to give back to the village, shouldn’t they just donate a sum of money to the village?

Later, as he got to know the Lin family better, and the effects of Lin Xiazhi's actions gradually emerged, he began to understand that it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them a fish, and let everyone master the means of making money In order to live a good life for a long time.

The matter of raising rabbits went very smoothly in Beishang Village. They had witnessed the process of the Qin family raising rabbits for a whole year, and they also knew that raising rabbits could indeed make money. Now this opportunity was in front of everyone, and they would be ashamed to go back if they didn't seize it.

Of course, these are all poor tenant farmers. The money in their hands must be kept for the family to chew before the autumn harvest. They dare not spend it all at once to buy rabbits. Most of them choose to help the Lin family raise rabbits. Take fixed silver coins.

Just like old Qintou and the others last year, raising a rabbit costs ten cents a month, and raising a hundred rabbits costs one tael. It's not a problem, it's two or three taels of silver a month, which they didn't even dare to think about before.

There are conservative ones and bold ones. I borrow some money from friends and relatives to buy a batch of rabbits and raise them myself. When I sell the rabbits, all the money will be my own, and the rabbits will grow back quickly.

There are many villagers in Beishan Village, and the Qin family's rabbits alone are not enough. Lin Xiazhi asked Xiangbo to buy a batch in Wangshan Village, and first asked the villagers in Wangshan Village to try to raise a dozen rabbits to test the water.

It's spring now, and rabbits breed fast, and it won't be long before there will be batches of small rabbits again. I'm not afraid that the number of rabbits is not enough, or that everyone will not be able to raise them by then.

Lin Xiazhi handed over the raising of rabbits to Uncle Xiang, and Jufulou also agreed with shopkeeper Tong that when the rabbits are bred, there will be no shortage of buyers.

Shopkeeper Tong has been complaining about the lack of rabbits. Now that he has a membership card, the business of Jufulou is going to a higher level. He was very happy when he heard that the number of rabbits will increase in the future. .

Lin Xiazhi looked at shopkeeper Tong's appearance and laughed secretly. With the breeding ability of rabbits, there would be so many rabbits that shopkeeper Tong would be worried.

Lin Xiazhi finished the things he had in mind, and continued to return to Cheng's house to join in the soap research. The first batch of fragrance powder will be shipped to Jiangning County next month. Time is money, and there is no delay.

In addition to the Ministry of Agriculture having to worry about spring plowing across the country, February is also the busiest time for the Ministry of Officials. The annual assessment and the three-year transfer must come to an end in February.

February of this year happens to be the transfer every three years, and the staff of the Ministry of Officials are so busy that all those who have been promoted, transferred, and demoted have drafted documents, and last year's new recruits who applied to be officials must also be transferred according to the year. The previous evaluation and the current arrangement of official positions in various places.

All documents need to be reviewed and signed by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Among them, the change of officials with a rank of six or more needs to be submitted by the minister to the prime minister in charge of the Ministry of Officials for review and approval, and the change of officials with a rank of four or more must be submitted to the emperor after being reviewed by the prime minister.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has only slept for two or three hours for several days in a row, and even dreams at night that he is approving these documents.

The prime minister was not much better, he was busy with other things besides managing the staff department, and he was also busy like a spinning top.

All the documents were drafted after the new year, and the review began in early February. Finally, the review was completed before February [-]th, and it was delivered to each official or newly promoted person through official channels.

Nowadays, the Holy Majesty is working hard to govern, and there are few officials who are corrupt and accepting bribes. As long as they are officials who are on duty in their official positions, those who have made some achievements will have a rise, and there will be different degrees of praise.

Those officials who are muddling along or who are more perfunctory in administration, should be transferred to a lower grade, and those who are not serious should be criticized. If the situation is still the same in the next evaluation, they should be careful.

And those who did not do well were demoted or demoted, and they couldn't escape, and even directly took off the black hat on their heads.

The governor of Lishui County has managed Lishui County very well in the past few years. Under his rule, he presented the emperor with good news such as two crops of rice, potatoes, and new paper recipes a year. His official position has not changed or Lishui County Shou, the grade has been raised from the previous fourth grade to the fourth grade.

The county magistrate of Jiangning County is no exception, and his official position has not changed. Four grade officials.

At the same time, Uncle Lin's letter of appointment also came into his hands. Sure enough, as Cheng Wenliu said before, he was assigned to Shudu County in the southwest, a place called Yuanping County. The official position was the county magistrate of Yuanping County. The same as ordinary Juren: Qipin.

As soon as Zhou Xiaozhu saw the capital of Shu written on the letter of appointment, his brain was stunned. The capital of Shu is remote and poor, can it really make political achievements in that place?

Uncle Lin has read a lot of books about the capital of Shu during this time, especially travel notes. From the books, he has learned a lot about the customs and geography of the capital of Shu, as well as the location and economic situation of Yuanping County. In fact, this is a relatively good place in the capital of Shu. the county seat.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaozhu looked like he was about to cry, Uncle Lin took his hand and said, "Xiaozhu, you see that Yuanping County is written in the letter of appointment. It is one of the communication hubs between the capital of Shu and the outside world, and its economy is at the middle level among the counties of the capital of Shu..."

Zhou Xiaozhu listened to Uncle Lin's introduction of Yuanping County, and the feeling of nervousness, helplessness, and bewilderment gradually disappeared. According to his husband, Yuanping County didn't seem so bad.
