They are called servants, but they are actually long-term workers who can work in the fields.

After Lin Xiaoman was granted the title of County Lord, she could open up wasteland for planting in Qingping County, which naturally required more manpower.

The north is sparsely populated and has a serious labor shortage. If you only rely on Lin Xiaoman to post notices to hire people, you will only have fewer and fewer people in the end.

Lu Jin, who was half-master-conscious, naturally took the whole matter into his own hands. He sent more than a hundred people here just to let Lin Xiaoman arrange work for them.

The people of Hedong Village have seen that they can make more money by following Lin Xiaoman in farming and breeding. From now on, the land around the village will definitely be reclaimed for their own cultivation.

It was impossible for Lin Xiaoman to compete with them for the land next to the village. In the entire Qingping County, except for the small amount of land that could be cultivated in the county town, there was land outside the city, and there were many large areas of uncultivated good land.

Lu Jin has visited every corner of Qingping County in the past year. He already knows where there are good fields. He took out a map of Qingping County, which has already marked which fields are suitable for farming and which fields are suitable for farming.

Too desolate.

Lin Xiaoman looked around and finally did not choose a field that was too close to Hedong Village. After all, the villagers might one day open up land outside the village. She had better find some land that was farther away and had a large land area that would not

The fields where you have to fight with other people over boundary issues are the best.

Lu Jin also agreed with Lin Xiaoman's choice. After dividing these pieces of land, he asked people to take down the map for registration.

As for the fertile fields that the emperor had previously rewarded, because Qingping County had been allocated to Lin Xiaoman, those fertile fields were divided from the fields in the neighboring Lai'an County. Since the emperor personally ordered it before coming, the county magistrate of Lai'an County did not do anything about it.

I dare to have any opinions and even welcome them with hands.

God knows that he has been jealous of Lin Xiaoman in Qingping County for the past few months, and his eyes are almost red with jealousy.

Now that the Lord of Qingping County has chosen the land in their Laian County, he will be able to get close to the Lord of Qingping County in the future. No matter what good seeds there are, he can only plant them with them.

Thinking that his family now has endless land to farm, and that Lu Jin is helping to find people to farm the land, Lin Xiaoman is full of energy.

He summoned all the 300 or so people in the village. Looking at the crowd of people below, Lin Xiaoman cleared his throat and said: "The emperor has assigned all the wasteland in Qingping County to me..."<

/p>

"The chief of the county calls himself the chief of the county!" Xiuyu reminded in a low voice.

Lin Xiaoman cleared his throat again, "It is assigned to the county owner. The county owner's family will definitely not be able to plant all these fields, so they are thinking of renting out some of the land. Anyone who rents the land from the county owner's family will hand over 30% of the land every year.

The land is rented as land. However, whatever is planted on the land must be arranged by the county owner. If you are interested, you can come to the county owner’s home to register. But the ugly story comes before, whoever wants to rent the land from the county owner

If you dare to leave the land uncultivated, don’t blame the county owner for not renting the land to him next year despite collecting the land rent.”

The annual rent for renting land from landlords here is mostly 50%. Unless the land is too barren, the rent will be less.

After all, the landlord has to pay 20% to 30% of the land tax upon receiving the land rent, but Lin Xiaoman only charges 30% of the rent, which is rare.

However, as a county owner with a fiefdom, Lin Xiaoman does not have to pay taxes to the court, so he charges less rent in the hope of attracting more outsiders to rent land and settle in Qingping County.

After listening to Lin Xiaoman's words, everyone was gearing up to start a big business. Although they were renting other people's land for farming, it was almost the same as their own land tax. They didn't have to spend money to buy land, but it was better than others.

Home is much stronger.

As for the matter of what to plant, no one has an opinion about what to plant according to the instructions of the Qingping County Lord. Everyone has seen with their own eyes or heard about how much the people of Hedong Village earned from farming with the Qingping County Lord this year.

.

As long as there is land at home and someone is willing to work hard, they can earn at least one hundred and eighty taels. Even if they don't earn as much next year as they did this year, they will still be more profitable than what they planted before.

So, after Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, she was surrounded by people as soon as everyone left to go home to discuss it.

"County Lord, my family wants to rent ten acres, no, twenty acres."

"County Lord, my family rents fifteen acres."

"My family wants ten acres..."

Lin Xiaoman was troubled by the enthusiasm of these people. In the end, it was Lu Jin who sent people to register with the clerk he brought over, and finally rescued Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Xiaoman deeply felt that she needed a housekeeper who could help her handle things. Otherwise, as the emperor's personally appointed county head, there was not even a useful person around him, and it would be a joke to tell it.

Because they can rent land with very low rent next year, these people are very motivated to work, and all the corn that has not been harvested in the field will be cut in a few days.

After breaking off the corn stalks, they are also piled up and can be burned after drying. Then they will be raised to the ground to let them soak all winter, and they will be the best fertilizer in the spring.

The autumn harvest is complete, and the punishment period for the three Chen family members who came to Lin Xiaoman's house for punishment is also over.

Chen Xiaoshuan's farming is good, Chen Yu's ducks are raised very well, almost every duck can lay an egg a day, Chen Yao's pigs are getting fatter and fatter, and she herself has lost several pounds, although not to the point of losing weight.

She is so skinny, but people who have known her before may not be able to recognize her at first glance when walking on the street.

After losing weight, she felt windy when walking, and her voice seemed to be getting louder and louder. When she scolded people, her voice was even louder. Lin Xiaoman felt very sad for Chen Yushi.

But no matter what, the punishment period for the three of them was over. Chen Xiaoshuan went back to the city, caught a carriage, and took his mother and daughter-in-law back to the city.

Before leaving, Chen Yao and Lin Xiaoman ordered two pigs that she hated the most, saying they would come during the Chinese New Year so that Lin Xiaoman could fatten them up.

Lin Xiaoman wholeheartedly agreed, who would I sell to anyway? As long as I have the money, it’s fine.

However, I didn’t feed too many pigs to begin with. After selling these two, Lin Xiaoman had no intention of selling any more. The rest will be used to make bacon and sausages when the weather gets cold. By then, everyone will share a share and there will be nothing left.

.

The pigs over there are all raised on feed for a few months. Her family has raised this pig for more than half a year. She chose the big piglets there and bought them. It looks much bigger than those raised by others.

Circle.

Many people have already come to Lin Xiaoman's house to inquire, and they also want Lin Xiaoman to help buy a few piglets to raise next year.

In addition to the piglets, the chickens, ducks and geese that Lin Xiaoman got also loved to lay eggs, and the eggs they laid were also big. Even the edible but thick meat chickens were also ordered by many people, including Chen Xiaosuan. He found Lin

Xiaoman proposed to rent a piece of land in the village to build a chicken farm, and he wanted Lin Xiaoman to help provide chicken seedlings.

Lin Xiaoman was impressed by him. He didn't expect that he had some business acumen. Once the chicken farm was built, it would be quite profitable.

The hot pot chicken restaurant in Hedong Village in the county is getting more and more prosperous. In the future, the restaurant may open to other counties. The demand for chickens will definitely increase. If Chen Xiaosuan can raise large quantities of high-quality chickens,

Chicken, if you want to buy chicken as well, the hot pot chicken restaurant will naturally buy it from him.
