Chapter 10 The Earliest Shareholding System in History
Taimo County, the Jiao family, a prominent family in Kuaiji County.

"Damn it! You little brat, you are going too far!"

Pan Lin slammed the table in anger. After arriving at the Jiao family, he thought more and more that something was wrong, and finally he got confirmation from the head of the Jiao family.

He was cheated!

"Haha, it's a small matter."

Jiao Jiao, the head of the Jiao family, once served as the magistrate of Zhengqiang County and was respectfully called "Jiao Zhengqiang".

He had many followers and was arrogant and domineering, and even the magistrate of Taimo County did not take him seriously.

"Just some money and food. Marshal Pan can go to Jinyun Mountain and bring it back."

Pan Lin was feeling depressed, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp without spilling a drop.

"Jiao Zhengqiang, please give me ten sets of armor and weapons on credit. It will be easy for you, little miser, to take him down!"

Jiao Jiao ruthlessly slapped him in the face: "Marshal Pan, can it be that without armor, you can't handle it?"

Pan Lin swallowed his anger and lowered his posture: "Without your support, we are nothing but barbarians."

"Alas, Marshal Pan, you don't know that the autumn harvest is poor this year, and I have so many mouths to feed. My life is not easy either."

This is very clear. You have to pay the money before you get the goods. No money, no deal.

"Sorry for nagging me." Pan Lin said goodbye while controlling his temper.

"Hey, Marshal, you know that valuable information is worth a fortune." Jiao Jiao didn't want to let the fat sheep go and just walk away.

Seeing the Jiao family's followers surrounding him, Pan Lin looked extremely unhappy and was only let go after throwing down a gold cake.

Outside Taimo County.

"Roar!"

"Old dog Jiao! One day I will skin you alive!" Pan Lin was helpless and furious.

"Marshal, I will lead my men to attack the city right now." The subordinate was very servile and attentive.

"Snapped!"

Pan Lin slapped the man so hard that he spun 360 degrees.

"Gather the people and go to Shan County to harvest the autumn crops."

If Pan Lin had someone with brains under him, he would not be afraid of Jiao Jiao and Jin Mao.

...

November passed and December came, and it finally rained, and the rain lasted for more than half a month.

The winter rain in Wushang County is so fine and soft that it penetrates the bones. Even if you wear a straw raincoat when going out, you will easily catch a cold if you don't drink ginger soup to dispel the cold.

These days, Jinmao is busier than before.

Resettling more than a thousand people is a completely different concept from resettling a hundred people.

There was not enough space to build houses, so Jinmao ordered the craftsmen to stop the factory construction and build a large number of large houses that were not sheltered from the wind for Min Yue.

It's a big thatched shed similar to a nursery base, but it's built against the mountain.

The wisdom of the people is endless. The craftsmen only built a framework, and the rest of the work, such as building the thatched huts and digging the ditches, was all done by the Min Yue people themselves.

The shed that was originally only able to block rain can now keep the ground from getting wet on rainy days and block half of the rain on windy days.

With a stable place to live, the Min Yue people became more obedient.

All the young and strong men joined the army, and the old and weak who were still able to move went to work in the fields. Even the half-grown children were not idle.

Everything is thriving.

The Min Yue people gathered on the south side facing the sun, while the local people of Jinyun Mountain gathered on the north side facing the sun.

Unlike the obedient Min Yue, the locals were more difficult to manage.

Jin Mao and Wu Tian were almost worn out trying to persuade the people to plant rapeseed on their fields.

The gentry were very obedient because they didn't care about the rent for borrowing the seeds.

The common people are very penny-wise and worry about all kinds of issues.

There was not much land annexation in Jinyun Mountain, and the gentry only owned one-third of the land.

This makes it difficult to advance the sowing process.

In the end, Jinmao had no choice but to rent all the land and ask the people to farm it.

There are two payment methods. One is a fixed payment of 30 five-zhu coins per mu after the harvest; the other is to pay oil according to the harvest, which is one-tenth of the oil production.

Scarcity makes things valuable. At that time, vegetable oil was scarce and expensive. Two catties of corn could be exchanged for one dan of corn, which is 30 five-zhu coins.

The average rapeseed yield per mu is 100 jin, and based on a 20% oil yield, 2 jin can be obtained, not to mention that the wooden press can achieve a 30% oil yield.

Therefore, the common people chose a fixed salary, and the gentry chose oil.

Moreover, the gentry were smarter and offered to contribute manpower and material resources in order to obtain a higher share of the profits.

Jinmao always responds.

Thus, the earliest and simplest joint-stock system appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Jinmao provided seedlings and technical support, and received 60% of the oil and all the residues. The gentry provided manpower, material and financial resources, received 40% of the oil, and only participated in dividends but not in decision-making.

Both parties were happy.

"At this moment, I experienced the happiness of a capitalist."

Jinmao decided that this model should continue to be implemented and no one could change it.

Now that everything is ready for rapeseed, Jinmao has started to focus on rice.

Jinyun Mountain had the earliest rice, but the quantity was extremely small and only distributed on both sides of the Eshui River. The situation in the entire Wushang County was similar.

Because the means of production, one of the three factors that determine productivity, are backward, paddy fields cannot survive without water sources.

Jinmao knew that the rainfall in Wushang County was enough to form terraces of a certain scale.

But this is a huge project that will require too much manpower and resources, so we will put it aside for last consideration.

Jinmao decided to start with rice seeds. With the experience of Grandpa Yuan in later generations, he believed that it would be no problem to double the yield from 300 kilograms per mu, and it is even possible to double it.

Agriculture is on the right track, but the military is stuck.

Rain is one thing, and philosophy is another.

According to Jinmao's idea, a professional army must be established.

He never expected those famous generals to bow down to him, so he could only take the path of strengthening the army.

Only professional soldiers who receive years of training can be considered strong soldiers.

There is no problem with the Min Yue soldiers, Jin Mao has almost become their belief.

The county soldiers are polarized, and only a few of the earliest county soldiers who followed Jinmao are willing to take the professional path.

Most people think that there is no future in joining a nameless county military unit.

This reminded Jin Mao.

He was just a miser and couldn't even decide on the rank of sergeant.

By this calculation, the fact that these county soldiers did not go on strike was already a great favor to Jinmao.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the Golden Sheep. In fact, the county soldiers are so well behaved, and half of the credit goes to the Golden Sheep.

Who made Jin Yang so good at bragging? He has already boasted that Jinmao is the only one in the sky and the best on earth, and it is just waiting to soar into the sky.

evening.

Jin Mao rode his old horse all the way back to his residence, thinking about his problems.

"My husband is back. The meal is ready. I'm heating it in the pot."

With adequate nutrition, Shi Yu's complexion looked visibly better, and his bulging front and back pieces of flesh always attracted the little brother Jin Mao.

"Well, husband, let's eat first."

Dinner is over.

During the sage time, Jin Mao stared at the oil lamp in a daze.

After Shi Yu finished cleaning up, he knelt down not far away, his small eyes neither bright nor dim in the light, and he gritted his teeth.

"Husband, my mother said that she wanted to get an advance on her farming wages."

Jin Mao frowned instantly. This was not a matter of money, but since this bad precedent had been set, things would become difficult to handle.

The two of them have lived together for so long, it is impossible for them not to have some feelings for each other, and he couldn't say anything too serious.

When he was in trouble, he wanted to know what the other party was actually thinking.

"Do you think I should give it?"

Seeing Jin Mao frown and ask such a question, Shi Yu felt something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem was, so he cried anxiously.

"Don't cry first." Jin Mao likes to be straightforward. He has never had a serious relationship, but he is still explaining seriously.

"The matter of advance payment of wages is of great importance..."

"Woo~!" Shi Yu suddenly knelt down to interrupt his spell, and begged for mercy while knocking: "Don't chase me away, I won't say it again."

Eh?
"Okay, stop knocking for now."

This girl was really honest. Her forehead was bleeding and Jin Mao was in a hurry to bandage her wound.

Shi Yu was afraid of being abandoned, so he took the initiative for the first time.

in fact.

Shi Yu is also a poor person. Her father died early, and her mother raised three children alone. She would have become a shrew if she wasn't a shrew.

Therefore, when I meet a good man like Jin Mao who does not exist in this era, I will never leave him even if I die.

　The jin here is calculated as 500 grams, and one jin in the Eastern Han Dynasty was approximately 248 grams.

　　Moreover, the area of ​​one acre of land in the Eastern Han Dynasty was 470 square meters, which is different from the current 666 square meters.

　　The calculations in the article, such as a yield of 470 kilograms per mu, are based on 50 square meters and a yield of kilograms per mu.
