For Xu Xingxia, there is also a big problem, that is, how to arrange the work of those slaves. When the slaves returned, they would definitely have to live. To live, to make money. They must be given a reasonable way to make money. If there is no way to live, God knows what will happen to them. Don't Li Zicheng hasn't appeared yet, and a large-scale military rebellion broke out in Ningxia Town first, so it will be a joke.

Xu Xingxia arranged the survival mode of the slaves, which was to work and work in the farm. You don't need to have your own field, you don't need to have any other tools of your own, you don't need any other resources, as long as you have the strength and are willing to work. The farm under Xu Xingxia's name can absorb all the labor.

At the beginning of December, all 11 hundred households of the steward's council were gathered by Xu Xingxia to carefully study the operation mode of the farm. For all the hundred households, the farm is a new thing, and Xu Xingxia must explain in detail and explain repeatedly before they can basically understand. However, the operation mode of the farm is actually not complicated, as long as the basic concepts are clarified, it can be basically understood.

The so-called farm is actually a small thousand-household house, with a relatively reading power operation system. It has its own labor force, its own fields, its own tools of production, and its own way of accounting for reading power. Even without outside help, it can basically read the workings of power. The operation of each farm will not be affected by the other farms.

The farm determined by Xu Xingxia adopts a standardized production model. The fields of each farm are about 10,000 acres. Xu Xingxia currently has jurisdiction over about 300 farms. These farms are sorted according to the number of heavenly stems and numbers, and are called Jiazi No. 1 Farm and Jiazi No. 2 Farm...... B No. 1 Farm, B No. 2 Farm...... All the way to the No. 30 Farm of 癸 (gui).

At that time, the production conditions were relatively primitive, and large-scale mechanized agricultural tools basically did not appear. The amount of land cultivated by each labor force is still at a relatively low level. Generally speaking, based on the average person cultivating ten to twenty acres of land, it takes about six hundred laborers. 300 farms, the labor force needed, close to 180,000 laborers. That's a scary number. Obviously, for now, this is not possible.

In fact, Ningxia Town is still very suitable for the use of large-scale agricultural tools. The terrain of the Ningxia Plain is so flat that no matter how large the farm tools are, they can be put here. After using large farm tools, one person can cultivate hundreds of acres, or even hundreds of acres of fields. It's a pity that there were no such farm tools at that time.

Originally, Song Yingxing had mentioned a variety of large-scale agricultural tools in his book "Heavenly Creations". These large-scale agricultural tools are all possible to produce, and some of the large-scale agricultural tools have also been manufactured in real objects. For example, a row plough that can open 16 ridges of land at one time, a compound harrow that can rake three zhang of land at one time, and a seeder that can sow three zhang of land. With these large machines, the production efficiency is much higher than manual farming.

It's a pity that these agricultural tools require a lot of capital to produce, and they also need to be used in vast fields. Ordinary fields simply cannot reflect the value of this large-scale agricultural tool. However, the production model at that time was still a small-scale peasant economy, and the fields owned by each family were actually very small, and there was no need to use large-scale agricultural tools, and there was no way to put them on.

At that time, the number of large landlords was indeed quite large, and they owned more land. If you put in large agricultural tools, you can definitely improve your production efficiency. However, if they want to invest their own funds, they are unwilling, after all, these large-scale agricultural tools cost a lot of money. In addition, the majority of tenants are also opposed to the use of these large agricultural tools. Because, once they have these big guys, they don't have any fields to cultivate.

Not all scientific inventions can be successfully promoted. These agricultural machinery mentioned by Song Yingxing are a typical example. No one wants to pay for it, and no one wants to use it, which makes it embarrassing to have large mechanical farm tools. Only in Ningxia Town, in this place under the jurisdiction of Xu Xingxia, under very special circumstances, will there be urgent hopes for large farm tools. If the labor force is sufficient, it is estimated that Xu Xingxia will not engage in collective farms.

In fact, Xu Xingxia is also unclear about the details of the operation of the collective farm, and what problems may exist in it. However, he believes that under the existing conditions, a high degree of centralized production is very necessary. As for the operation mode of specific details, we must cross the river by feeling the stones and explore and move forward step by step. In other words, on the basis of the first farm, explore the experience, summarize the lessons, and then gradually spread it.

According to Xu Xingxia's proposal, the top leader of the farm was called a deacon. The deacon is responsible for the management of the entire farm, is the highest person in charge of the farm, and reports directly to the stewardship. The deacon has three auxiliary leaders, called vice deacons, who manage farmland, livestock, farming implements, etc. Below the deacon, there were ten overseers. The main task of the supervisor is, of course, to inspect and supervise to ensure that every workforce will not be lazy and get by.

Considering the production efficiency, of course, it is not possible to divide the rice in a large pot evenly. What Xu Xingxia adopted was a hierarchical and differentiated distribution model on the basis of basically ensuring a normal life. To put it simply, those who do well, work diligently, and work hard can earn more income. Bad work, lazy, slippery, sorry, you may get less than everyone else.

Generally speaking, the fixed income of ordinary laborers is two catties of coarse grains per day, and the basic income is about 60 catties per month. Basically, you can meet your own survival needs. If you want to feed your family, you have to fight for more rewards. At the end of each month, you can also get an additional thirty percent (thirty percent) of the reward. At the end of each year, you can also get an additional thirty percent (thirty percent) of the reward.

However, these two 30 percent are not distributed to each person equally, but according to each person's performance, according to different grades. If you do a particularly good job, you may be rewarded with an additional fifty percent. Those who don't do well may only be five percent, or even none. As for the good or the bad, it is decided by voting together through all the labor force.

Based on the calculation of 10,000 acres of land in a farm, the average yield per mu of land is about one stone (about 188.8 catties), and the output of the entire farm is about 1.9 million catties. Based on the fact that the farm has 600 laborers, the annual monthly grain expenditure, including various incentives, is about 600,000 catties. On average, a person can get about 1,000 catties of grain a year, which is a very good income. As for the other 1.2 million catties, they naturally went into Xu Xingxia's pocket and became war food.

To be honest, this highly centralized model can only work in the short term. Because, the way it is distributed, is very extreme. The people who work can only get one-third of the output of the field, and the other two-thirds are taken by Xu Xingxia. Once the military families found out that they had worked hard for a year, they only got a small part, and all the rest fell into Xu Xingxia's pocket. If they didn't complain, it wouldn't have been possible.

That's right, Xu Xingxia is indeed their benefactor, it is Xu Xingxia who gives them the opportunity to work and the way to support their families. However, people's ** is always unsatisfied. After supporting themselves, they definitely want to live a better life, and they definitely want to be able to get more. In the beginning, they didn't dare to say anything, but as time went on, there were always people who stood up against it.

Of course, Xu Xingxia also knows that such a model cannot last long. The historical development of later generations proved that the vitality of such collective farms was relatively short-lived. However, taking into account the need for combat readiness, such an approach must be implemented. In addition to the necessary living materials for the military households, he must control all other materials in his own hands. Only in this way can he maximize all his resources and deal with the danger that comes at any time.

However, having said that, the annual grain income of 1,000 catties should also be satisfied by most military households. If there was no Xu Xingxia and no white-clothed army, it would be impossible for them to obtain such an income. It seems that the current military household of Weizhenbao, a middle-aged laborer, definitely does not have a thousand catties of grain income every year. As long as there are a few laborers in the family working on the farm, there is no problem in living a solid life without worrying about food and clothing all year round.

As a big pot of rice, all kinds of stimulus systems, performance appraisal systems, are very important, especially for the three positions of deacons, deputy deacons and supervisors, who are completely dependent on the grain production of the farm. To paraphrase the explanation of later generations, there is no basic salary, only commission. If you do a good job and have a large grain output, maybe everyone can get a few thousand catties or even tens of thousands of catties of grain income. If you don't do a good job, then I'm sorry, maybe it's worse than the average labor force, and you can only barely fill your stomach.

This mode of operation is a great challenge for many military households. As a result, when Xu Xingxia asked the military households to take the initiative to sign up and serve as deacons, deputy deacons, or supervisors, all the military households remained silent. In fact, the vast majority of military households are accustomed to defending their jobs and getting money for their work. If you work for a day, you will get a day's money. As for the link between the effect of the work and the harvest, I have to be a little nervous. They are all worried, if they don't do well, won't they work for nothing for a year?
