【2】The Rich Second Generation Is Forced to Start All Over Again

Chapter 213 Field

Lu Xu didn't know that his younger brother had already found a teacher for him. He was going to the Yamen with Yan Junqi's letter to find out whether the fields they wanted to exchange had been divided.

Yan Junqi became a member of the Imperial Academy, received a salary, and had more land to his name.

Although his little salary is only enough to eat.

Hanlin is recognized as having a bright future, but for newcomers... those with no rank or rank, the salary given is about the same as that of the ninth rank.

A year's worth of coarse grains and fine grains add up to twenty stones, and one or two and a half silver per month. Based on the prices in the capital, if the family has a small population and does not have to support the family, it is impossible to starve to death with this salary. At most, you can eat some meat, and eat less. Vegetables, eat more whole grains, maybe you can still have enough clothes all year round.

Lu Xu really looked down upon him.

Judging from their Junqi family, they started looking for part-time jobs after just one day at work.

In addition to salary, the other major source of income is land.

Now Yan Junqi has two hectares of farmland, which are still fertile fields, but they are all rewarded in his hometown.

If you want to change from your place of residence to your place of employment, there is a complicated set of rules.

The general principle is that the poorer the place, the more it can be exchanged for, and the richer the place, the less it can be exchanged.

In a place like Beijing where land is at a premium, Yan Junqi's two hectares of fertile farmland would be exchanged, leaving only fifteen acres. This does not guarantee that it will all be fertile land after the exchange. The only place that can be exchanged is in the suburbs of Beijing.

Don't even think about the city's underground area, it's been taken over long ago.

This position was squeezed out because Yan Junqi had passed the Chuanlu exam and was the Chuanlu approved by the emperor, so he might have a promising future.

As for the Hanlins whose rankings are not good, do you want to change? Sorry, go to the next county to choose. There are not many open spaces, so hurry up.

Lu Xu and the others discussed it and exchanged it.

There is no shortage of land in Guanyang's hometown. If they live in the capital in the future, it will be convenient for them to have their own land to grow food and vegetables. At least they can grow whatever they want, ensuring it is fresh.

Lu Xu went there with great expectations. After checking the letter, he got the land deed. When he saw it, he was dumbfounded.

Among the fifteen acres, there are five acres of paddy field, five acres of fertile farmland, and five acres of thin farmland. It sounds pretty average, but Lu Xu couldn't figure out how this combination was formed for a while. He couldn't just divide the fifteen acres of land into three pieces, right?

The official who was on errands saw that he didn't look like a farmer, so he asked, "Are you going to farm it yourself or hire someone to do it?"

Needless to say? !

Yan Junqi wants to work as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and Lu Zhou wants to study. He is not good at farming yet, so he must hire someone.

Lu Xu quickly asked how and where to hire people.

The official pointed out two options for him, either looking for him in a village near the field, or hiring him in the city.

There are agencies in nearby counties and Nancheng that specialize in introducing long-term and part-time workers to officials. If the farm is large in the suburbs, they can also introduce professional housekeepers, who have a contract to sell themselves.
