The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 146 Model Farm
"My lord, we not only planted fruit trees and sweet potato crops in our orchard, but also raised thousands of pheasants in the orchard. The pheasants can not only eat bugs, but also fertilize the fruit trees with their manure, so that the yield of fruit trees will increase a lot. .” The squad leader in charge of this farm introduced.

"How many eggs does the pheasant produce every day?" Su Lin asked casually as he walked.

"The daily output is variable. On average, there are at least five hundred eggs a day, and they are all sent to the mill in the town." The squad leader replied.

"How big is this orchard? How many people manage it?" Su Lin asked.

"Back to the lord, the farms are divided into sections, and each farm has a number. We are the No. [-] farm in the first district. We manage a [-]-acre orchard in one shift. Going forward and crossing this small river, it is the third and second shifts." Managed orchard." The squad leader introduced.

Su Lin really didn't know about these things, he just came up with an idea, and handed over how to implement it to his subordinates.

"Oh, how many farms do we have in Dahan Town?" Su Lin asked Li Erni who was following beside her. She is the brigade commander and knows a lot about these things.

"Back to my lord, there are currently a total of 120 farms like this that have been opened up. Because the number of people is limited and there are not so many people to manage them, we can only cultivate so many for the time being." Li Erni said.

A class manages a farm of 100 mu, which is equivalent to managing [-] mu by one person. Only people are needed to help when harvesting, and ordinary management does not require many people.

Only this kind of orchard that doesn't need to worry about can do it. If it is to grow rice, 10 acres of planting by one person is the limit.

"Who thought of raising chickens in the orchard? Are other farms like this?" Su Lin thinks this is a good idea. It can not only reduce pest damage, but also harvest eggs and chicken.

"My lord, this is what the villain thinks, and currently only the farms managed by the villain do this." The farm squad leader cupped his hands.

"Oh, why hasn't such a good method been promoted?" Su Lin asked curiously.

"Hehe." The farm monitor just scratched his head and giggled.

Li Erni next to her said: "This method has only been implemented. I don't know how effective it will be. Also, for the militia in charge of the farm, the management is almost the same, so no one is willing to work too much. Just make do with it. .”

The militiamen on the farm can keep some of the eggs they get from raising chickens to eat for themselves.

That's why I am willing to raise them, because most of them have to be handed in.

After listening, Su Lin frowned, doing more or less, doing or not doing the same thing, this is like eating a big pot of rice, it is really difficult to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

No wonder Li Erni led Su Lin to this farm. It turns out that this is the benchmark of farm management, and other farms are not as good as this.

"Then rank the farms according to their output. The evaluation will be held every year. Those with high output will be directly promoted, and those with low output will be punished." Su Lin thought about it, and must use a set of incentives to motivate everyone.

"But my lord, each farm has different land and different crops, so it's hard to compare." Li Erni reminded in embarrassment.

Yes, the quality of the land is different, and the planting is also different. It is really difficult to compare.

Su Lin didn't speak, and frowned, thinking that if subcontracting is carried out, the gap between the rich and the poor among the villagers will widen after a long time.

It's not that there can't be gaps, but if this situation continues, it will affect the cohesion of the village.

But such a management model will indeed affect everyone's enthusiasm.

To put it simply, Su Lin is the boss, so all the villagers are wage earners, so how can they motivate everyone?

A few people followed, and walked to a sweet potato field.

There are about ten acres, a lush green area, and the growth is very gratifying.

"What's your name?" Su Lin was very interested in this farm monitor.

"The young one is called Liu Nong." Liu Nong said with a bow.

"Where do the people in your class come from?" Su Lin knew that Liu Nong was recruited.

"Three are soldiers from the original state of Chu, two are villagers from our Dahan Township, three are from Qin State, and two are from Zhangfan Township." Liu Nong reported the personnel structure in his class .

Basically, according to Su Lin's intention, the establishment was broken up according to the proportion. It is impossible for a class to have most of them come from a certain place.

"Ah."

Su Lin nodded, tired after walking for a long time, looking at the sweet potato field in front of him with one hand on his hip.

Shen Jun, who was following behind, saw that Su Lin was tired, so she quickly signaled a militiaman to go over.

The militiaman nodded, ran over and knelt behind Su Lin.

"My lord, are you tired? Sit down and rest." Shen Jun stepped forward and said.

"it is good."

Su Lin didn't refuse. He just lifted the hem of his skirt and sat on the back of the militiaman. He also felt that his body was indeed a little weak, and he was tired after walking for a while on the mountain road.

Hey, I should learn some physical strengthening techniques from Guiguzi.

When Guiguzi comes back one day, he will have to ask for advice.

"Let's eat here at noon." Su Lin looked at the sun, it was approaching noon, and thought it would be more convenient to eat here.

These villagers who manage the farm usually eat on the farm.

Some will go back to live at night, because most of them already have families.

There will be two people on duty every day, and ten people will take turns every five days.

Therefore, only two residential houses were built on each farm, which were used for temporary rest.

"Okay, my lord, if you want to eat here, I will order you to kill two pheasants." Liu Nong was overjoyed, clapped his hands and hurriedly went down to prepare.

Four meals were quickly arranged.

There are stewed hen, boiled eggs, sweet potato soup, and noodle cakes.

The conditions here are simple, there is not even a table, only a simple table built with stones.

Usually when they eat, they either build a stone to sit on, or squat down to eat.

"Why is there no table?" Su Lin asked with a frown.

Liu Nong smirked, "There is no assignment from above, and buying a table requires a lot of work points, so I didn't buy it."

That's right, the higher authorities don't distribute it, and they are reluctant to buy it for public use.

If you bought it for your own home use, it would be worth it.

Everyone is selfish, who wants to be taken advantage of?

Su Lin didn't speak. He didn't have a bench and could only sit on the back of the militiaman, sipping the food on the table. The others also took their own food and found a place to sit and eat.

Only Shen Jun was waiting behind her.

Su Lin sighed deeply, if you don't come here to have a look, you don't know that there will be many problems
This is still a model farm, so other farms don't know what else could go wrong.

The bigger the spread, the more problems there will be.

Su Lin really wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but the vision of his subordinates was limited, it was good to be able to manage it like this, and he couldn't have too strict requirements.

The old hen is stewed in a ceramic pot. This pot was bought by Liu Nong himself, and it is very cheap in Taobao stores.

The stewed chicken is very fragrant, without other condiments, only a little salt is added, which largely retains the umami taste of the chicken.

Chopsticks are also produced from bamboo. Every day, the lumber mill produces half-oxcart bamboo chopsticks, which are not only used by themselves, but also sold to various places in Qin and Chu.

Dahan Township is basically self-sufficient.

"Jun'er, you can eat too."

Su Lin knew that Shen Jun must be hungry after serving for a long time.

"Slaves are not hungry." Shen Jun shook her head.

When Su Lin saw this, he was inconvenient to persuade him any further. He picked up a chicken leg with his chopsticks and was about to eat it, but the chopsticks slipped and a section of chicken leg fell off.

It happened to fall at my feet, got soiled, and I couldn't eat it, but I just felt that it was a pity for a piece of chicken leg.

"My lord, give it to your servants." Shen Jun swallowed her saliva.

"Uh, it's all on the floor, you can eat it here." Su Lin pointed at the chicken in the casserole, since he couldn't finish any of them anyway.

Shen Jun quickly knelt down and lay down on the ground, "It's a pity that it fell, servants should eat this."

After speaking, he lay down on the ground, lowered his head and bit the chicken leg on the ground with his mouth.
