The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1528 Farm Life in Beihai Country (Part 2)
The reason why this cafeteria was set up is actually to facilitate the production of Kohler bread.
The so-called "Kohler bread" is actually a relatively soft bread made by mixing rye flour and grass bran. This kind of bread is much better than the traditional black baguette, which is as hard as a brick and mixed with a lot of wild vegetables, soil, stones and wood chips. Although 30% of the ingredients are grass bran, but because the grass bran is a ground powder, it will not make the bread hard.
However, with the gradual increase in grain production in the North Sea country, the content of grass bran in "Kohler bread" is gradually decreasing in several developed provinces such as the native East Frisia. Even in affluent villages like Kloster, the "Kohler bread" served in the cafeteria has less than 50% grass bran, which is no different from normal black bread.
According to Marin's request, bread in villages in several core provinces of Beihai State is supplied in a centralized manner. The top pick under the name of Marin, "Kohler Bread" has the lowest grass bran content. For example, Kloster Village is the manor under the name of Marin. Because Marin is the richest. As for the manors under the names of other nobles, it is uncertain. In order to save money, some nobles will still maintain a ratio of 30% grass chaff and supply bread. However, Marin has forcibly stipulated that it is strictly forbidden to increase the proportion of grass chaff to more than 30%, otherwise it will be severely punished
In addition to bread, salted fish is also centrally supplied. But this thing is not available every day, and in some villages, it may only be posted once every few days. But wealthy villages may pay a little more. For example, in Kloster Village, salted fish will be delivered once every two or three days.
As for clothes, beer, and cloth, you have to pay for them yourself. The manors in the North Sea State implemented a salary system, not a harvest system. Serfs are actually more like farm workers, and Marin will pay each farmer a salary equivalent to 2 Finneys every day. Women halve and have fewer children. However, Marin did not give cash, but offset food.
In other words, each pair of serf couples could only get 3 pounds of rye per day. After a year, it looks like 1,000 pounds of rye. However, each couple cultivates hundreds of acres of farmland, and the yield per mu in East Frisia is basically more than 500 pounds. Therefore, on average, a pair of serf couples earn only 10 pounds of rye per mu.
However, the account can not be calculated like this. Because the manor in Beihai is in charge of food
How expensive is food in Europe? Taking care of the food every day, the food consumed by the family is at least two or three pounds worth of food. In other words, in fact, the income of each serf per mu was more than 20 pounds of rye.
Moreover, according to Marin's regulations, the serfs in Beihai State do not need to pay the church's tithe. Marin has negotiated with the Holy See to pay 15 pounds of grain per acre of arable land in a tax package. Only half of it was handed over to the Archbishop of Cologne, who collected the tithes in Northwest Germany. The remaining half belongs to the Beihai State Church's own funds. Moreover, half of the tithe collected by the Archbishop of Cologne will actually be withheld and distributed by the Archbishop of Cologne, and then the rest will be handed over to the Holy See.
In addition, the cost of raising horses and cattle in each manor is also borne by the manor. If a farmer is sick, the manor will send it to the town to see a doctor in a horse-drawn carriage
That is to say, although the serfs didn't get much money and food, they were burdened by the manor for food and medical treatment, so they didn't have any worries at all. And the thousands of pounds of food every year can be exchanged for clothes or other consumer goods. As for kids going to school? that's free too
Even the children's lunch at school is provided by the Beihai government for free. It's not rich, but it's definitely filling. Moreover, Marin also has a plan, that is, to supply a glass of milk or goat's milk to each growing child every day
But the implementation of this plan is too difficult, mainly because the breeding speed of black and white cows is too slow to keep up with the demand!
In desperation, Marin chose to breed East Frisian sheep, a milk sheep that breeds and grows faster. However, the fishy smell of goat milk has been difficult to solve before. Until Marin introduced high-yield big radishes from the Ming Dynasty and cooked them with radish slices and goat milk,
Can eliminate mutton.
Today, Marin has started to promote the breeding of dairy sheep and the cultivation of radishes in many farms, in order to provide goat milk for children. Moreover, if there is excess milk after the cow gives birth, Marin will also ask the manor steward to collect it and give priority to those children who are growing.
Although the cows from the Crimean Khanate are far less milk-producing than Dutch black-and-white cows, they still have some milk left over. Steward Franz had planned that once the three cows had calved, he would have experienced women attend and milk them. The extra milk is given priority to those teenagers in the village whose voices have changed.
Because, according to Marin's instruction, teenagers who are in the so-called "pubescent stage" can grow taller by drinking more milk. As steward of the estate, Franz naturally hoped that the boys in the village would grow up to be tall, strong, and great lads. In this way, whether it is doing farm work or serving as a soldier for the Grand Duke, there will be an advantage.
According to Marin's manor management assessment method, being able to provide Beihai with high-quality and strong soldiers can add points to his political performance. Not only can you get more bonuses, but you can also upgrade and take up more senior positions in the town
When Franz's carriage passed outside the dining hall, the serfs greeted him one after another:
"The steward is back?" In the eyes of the serfs, the steward of the manor is considered a "sir". This is not surprising, the later generations are in the 20th century, and in some remote villages in China, the village chiefs are also the absolute controllers of the villages. Moreover, the farmers in the villages of later generations actually lived independently, and the village head did not have much influence on them. But Marin's manor model is more like the manager of the company of later generations, and the serfs are more like small employees of later generations, so they are naturally more afraid of managing things. What's more, serfs these days don't have the right to change jobs. Therefore, in their eyes, who can decide whether their lives are good or bad, and even punish their manor stewards, is an out-and-out boss
Franz nodded slightly to the serfs, but did not give any kind smile. In fact, it is not advisable to smile at the serfs.
In the officialdom of later generations, only very high-ranking officials would smile at ordinary people. As for grassroots cadres, they will basically keep their faces on purpose. It's not because they are pretending, but because of work needs.
Big people give ordinary people smiling faces because the gap between the two is too big, and there is no intersection at ordinary times, so it’s okay to give you a smiling face, and you can gain a good reputation.
However, grassroots cadres, you give ordinary smiling faces a try? Some people really push their noses to their faces
No matter which country's farmers, they are all a little bit of abacus. Also, there are thorns everywhere. It's okay for you to smile to the honest people, but if you give up the smiles to the bums in the village, I will definitely rely on you
Therefore, in later generations, to be a grassroots cadre, you must not only be able to handle affairs, but also have a deterrent effect, and be able to restrain the bums in the village. Even, there must be a certain force value
However, this is not needed in the 21st century. Because, at that time, all the male laborers in the village went out to work. Even the second-raters in the village went to the city to be cheated and abducted, and some even changed their ways and returned to earning money by working part-time. Therefore, in the 21st century, college student village officials can survive. If in the 20th century, when the bums in the village stayed in their hometowns and ran amok, college students wanted to be village officials? Let's practice martial arts first. Otherwise, the scene could not be suppressed. Back then, the village cadres were all made by fighting, or the clan surname was very strong, and they could call many clan brothers in a fight. Otherwise, don't try to do a good job
Of course, there are not many thorny gangsters in the countryside of Beihai country. After all, these years are not the era of the rule of law, and hooligans can be dealt with without breaking the law. What's more, the peasants are all serfs, let alone dare to stab them.
What? You want to rebel? Wait a minute, I will send someone to the town to call someone soon, 8,000 police officers trained by 320 old brothers who retired from Marin before will come to suppress
As far as Franz knows, in the town of Moremeland, there is a police station blockhouse with 25 strong policemen inside.
After nodding slightly with the villagers, Franz called the cattle drivers to drive the three borrowed cows to the cowshed to feed grass. And he himself, with his hands behind his back, went to eat in the single room behind the cafeteria. Along the way, there were serfs greeting him with bread and salted fish
After all, it is the spring plowing period, and now salted fish are distributed every day. After the serfs brought the salted fish home, they could eat it directly, or add some sauerkraut made from pickled Chinese cabbage and cook it. After all, everyone has an earthen stove at home.
In the afternoon, after the whole village had eaten and drank enough, Franz led the serfs to drive the cattle, and continued to plow and turn the soil.
