Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang tasted them one by one. When she walked out of the alley, many people came out with bowls to see her off, and warmly greeted her to have their dinner before leaving.

Zhao Hanzhang thanked him with a smile on his face and pulled Fu Tinghan away quickly.

After walking far away, she let go of Fu Tinghan and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's too enthusiastic and I can't bear it."

Fu Tinghan kept suppressing his laughter, "But I see you are quite happy eating."

"I'm invited to dinner, so I can't show my pain, right?" Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "Bean rice and wheat rice are really unpalatable, especially bean rice."

Fu Tinghan said: "Although there is a lot of land per capita, the yield per mu here is also very low. If you want to eat all white flour, it will not be possible in a short time. I think steamed buns mixed with bran are good, and they should be able to be made into pancakes."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Beans should still be used for feed, sauce, vinegar, and oil extraction. Just make some dishes. Making beans and rice is too difficult for the stomach."

Fu Tinghan: "Then you have to ensure that starting next year, the per capita harvest of wheat will be enough for one year's consumption."

"Come on, let's go back and calculate how many acres of land per person will be enough for one year's needs after paying all the taxes, based on the current yield per mu."

Geng Rong followed behind blankly. After thinking for a long time, he decided that he didn't understand and asked, "Does the girl want to stop people from eating beans and rice?"

"You can still eat it if you want. I just want them to live a better life. I can reduce the amount of beans and rice they eat and replace it with better wheat rice or steamed buns."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "And soybeans have many uses. Raising horses, raising cattle, making vinegar, and pressing oil all require a large amount of beans."

"It's too wasteful to extract oil from beans," Geng Rong thought of the oil that had been dumped to defend the city before, and said, "The tung oil should be enough."

"I'm talking about the oil you eat. You haven't eaten soybean oil, have you? I'll have someone squeeze it out for you to try. It's delicious."

Geng Rong glared, "Can soybean oil be eaten?"

"You can eat beans and rice, so why can't you eat soybean oil?"

Geng Rong thought about it and it was true that tung oil cannot be eaten because tung fruits are inedible, but beans can be eaten, so soybean oil can naturally be eaten.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "After the horse eats beans, it becomes fat and strong, and the oil is smooth. Soybean oil has the same effect on people. When the time comes, the bean dregs can be fed to pigs, cows, horses, etc. It's perfect."

Fu Tinghan asked from his soul, "Can you press oil?"

Zhao Hanzhang was silent for a moment and then said: "No."

Fu Tinghan said, "Neither can I." He didn't even understand.

Zhao Hanzhang refused to give up, "You know the principle, right?"

Fu Tinghan: "Squeeze?"

Zhao Hanzhang was full of confidence. He already knew that this thing existed and could always make it. "Try it later."

Returning to the county government office, Zhao Hanzhang left Geng Rong to eat. "The autumn harvest is over and we have to start preparing to plant winter wheat. I decided to allocate some fields before that."

Geng Rong heard Zhao Hanzhang mention it, but she thought it was just a casual promise she made when she first entered the county to stabilize people's hearts. She didn't expect that she actually wanted to divide the land. He couldn't help but ask: "Is it going to be divided by everyone? "

"Only to the landless and landless."

"Girl, it is a rare time for everyone in Xiping County to be united as one. At this time and place, I am afraid that this situation will be ruined."

Fu Tinghan also said: "Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality."

"So I will issue an announcement that in addition to taxes, the people who own the land will have to pay an additional 10% of the rent to the county government for five years," Zhao Hanzhang said: "After five years, as long as the land is being cultivated, The fields automatically belong to them, and if there is no farming for one year in the past five years, the county government will automatically take back the fields."

"Those who own land and feel that it is not enough to cultivate can also apply to the county government, but the applied fields and their private fields must also be cultivated. The same requirement is that within five years, the applied fields will be paid an annual fee of 100 yuan. As a tenant, the registered private land within the five years must also be cultivated for five years like the tenant. As long as a piece of land is left vacant, it will be regarded as a malicious seizure of official land. I will not only confiscate the official land rented out by the tenant. , their private fields will also be confiscated."

Fu Tinghan was surprised, "Such a severe punishment?"

Zhao Hanzhang said with a sneer: "So, my official land is not so easy to cultivate."

This move is mainly aimed at people who already have enough land, but are aiming at official land and want to occupy more.

Fu Tinghan thought for a while and shook his head, "It's better to convert the taxes into equivalent rent and rent them directly to people who have no land or less land. Anyway, Xiping County is your decision now. You don't want to hand over the taxes to the higher level. You After collecting the rent, we can exempt these people from paying taxes."

He said: "Converted to a tenant rent, it is equivalent to them renting your land. People who already have enough fields to cultivate will not think of coming to you to rent the land. You can wait for them to rent the land for a certain period of time and then transfer the land to you." Give them ownership, then restore taxes and abolish tenancy."

"But in this case, people without land will forget about it. People with less land will have different amounts of land to cultivate. If all taxes are exempted, the rent they need to pay will also be different. How to calculate this?"

Fu Tinghan said: "Now they are doing extensive farming, so the per capita cultivated land has reached 20 acres. Since you want to improve the yield per mu and recruit a large number of people, my suggestion is to shorten it by half and calculate it based on ten acres per capita. In this case, I will make statistics. Now on the book, I can subdivide the number of people with less land and the corresponding acres. I can subdivide them from families and calculate the corresponding tenancy rents according to the ten acres from one to ten acres. When it’s time to collect taxes, just follow what’s on the booklet.”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "This will increase the workload of the county government."

Fu Tinghan spread his hands and said: "This is inevitable. There will always be a loss between the two. It depends on what you choose."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "I listen to you. We have to train and recruit talents anyway, and Xiping County can be assigned as their homework."

Geng Rong ate silently on the side, and by the end he was confused as to whether he understood or not.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him, then remembered and encouraged: "Geng Rong, come and assist Mr. Fu Dalang in completing this matter."

Geng Rong looked embarrassed. He wanted to say that he didn't understand, but he felt that it was not good to leave such an impression on his boss, so he hesitated for a moment. Zhao Hanzhang had already withdrew his gaze and gave Fu Tinghan a spoonful of eggs, "Eat more protein. I’ve been using my brain too much lately.”

Fu Tinghan said disapprovingly: "It's just the simplest calculation, it doesn't consume your brain, but it's just a complicated matter that consumes energy."

"By the way, where is Fu An?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Ask him to choose a few smart people to follow you. In the future, if you have something to do, just ask them to do it. This will make it easier."

Fu Tinghan was stunned, "Yes, where is Fu An?"

The two looked at each other, unable to remember for a moment, but Geng Rong said: "It seems that they are following the second young master. I saw them running all the way out of the city today. They said they were going to Wubao to pay their respects. I don't know if they have come back."

Good night
