Scientific farming and raising cute babies

Chapter 300 The Income of Farmers
Cloud family.

After dinner, everyone was preparing to go back to their homes when Meng Dahuai suddenly appeared at the door.

Meng Dahuai greeted Meng Xizhou with a smile on his face, "Xiaozhou, mother agrees to split the family! The family property is divided equally, and your [-] mu of land is also in hand. This is the land deed!"

As he spoke, he handed the paper to Meng Xizhou, and then sighed heavily, "However, we give her [-] Wen a month, which is filial money."

In fact, according to his thinking, it is considered intentional to give ten Wen a month, but Zhao Chunying knows that he can earn 120 and five Wen a day in the future, so he bites the number of one hundred Wen.

On the issue of tribute money, Meng Deli didn't intervene much. Half of the tribute money given by the four Meng brothers belonged to him. He was stupid to stop Zhao Chunying from bargaining with these four people.

One tael of silver was indeed too much, but ten cash was too little, so he didn't care.

Without Meng Deli's support, the four brothers of the Meng family lacked confidence. They were worried that Zhao Chunying would really go to the county government to sue them, so they finally agreed to the number of one hundred coins.

"Xiaozhou, you know our mother's temperament, we have tried our best!" Meng Dahuai was worried that Gu Miao would not be satisfied with the number, so although he said this to Meng Xizhou, his eyes kept looking at Gu Miao.

Gu Miao raised her eyebrows, took the land deed in Meng Xizhou's hand and looked it over carefully, and then asked, "How much money does the family have?"

"If you don't count the 1000 taels of silver, my mother said that I have only saved three taels of silver these years." Meng Dahuai wanted to sigh again. Of course he knew that this number was inaccurate, but without Meng Deli's support, the four brothers There is nothing I can do about Zhao Chunying.

"Only three taels of silver?" Gu Miao looked in disbelief.

The land in Dafeng is valuable, and so is the food. Beans cost two renminbi a catty, sorghum and millet cost two or three renminbi a catty, and wheat is expensive at four penny a catty.

At this time, productivity was low and there were no pesticides and fertilizers, so the yield per mu of land was quite low. Generally, one mu of land could only produce two hundred catties of grain. If the average price was calculated at three Wen, one mu of land could get six hundred text left and right.

One mu of land is six hundred cash, and twenty mu of land is 12 taels of silver.

There are seven adult men in the Meng family, and the 140 mu of land can earn 84 taels of silver every year.

But this is only an ideal income. In fact, it has never been achieved. At this time, we depend on the weather for food. If there is a drought or flood, the harvest will drop sharply. Moreover, all these lands will not be planted as food, and we have to grow hemp and pay taxes. You have to pay linen at times, and the clothes and bedding of the whole family are also made of linen.

Also, the whole family consumes a lot of food and drink. This money seems to be a lot, but when converted into grain, every [-] mu of land can only produce [-] catties of grain.

This time is not like the later generations. In addition to the staple food, you can also eat some fruit snacks and other things. At this time, people eat food, and there are few other supplementary foods except vegetables, and there is not much oil and water. If it is slack, it can be Eat less, but during the busy farming season, adult men can eat three catties of grain in one meal.

So, half of the harvested food went to the stomach, and the remaining half was used to pay taxes, to support Meng Xiaoliu's education and other expenses.

In addition, Meng Xizhou and Meng Xiaoliu have only obtained the land for three years, which is a short period of time, so their income is naturally low.

However, if it is said that Zhao Chunying has only saved three taels of silver over the years, Gu Miao will never believe it.

"I know she's hiding it in private, but I can't find out by asking." Meng Dahuai looked sad.

"Then three taels of silver." Gu Miao didn't bother to ask.

She didn't intend to take the money from the Meng family at first, but who knew that the four brothers of the Meng family were very powerful and overfulfilled the task she had given her. Since there are three taels of silver to share, she must take it. It's all Meng Xizhou's hard-earned money!
