Luo Yong's newly obtained five hectares of fields this time are surrounded by mountains in the north, next to the dirt road entering the city to the south, there is a stream ditch to the west, and a piece of farmland from the villagers of Xipo Village to the east.

Since the Xu family wanted to rent land to farm, they must be more interested in the field next to the stream and ditch on the west side, because irrigation is convenient on that side.

So they set a small piece of land in the southwest corner of this field next to the dirt road entering the city. They planned to build a house there. This land was used by Luo. As long as he agreed to build a house, there would be no other problem. In the countryside these days, there is no such thing as illegal construction.

In a few days, several other disciples found Luo Yong here and said that they also wanted to rent land here.

They don’t rent too much land, usually only ten or twenty acres per family. They don’t plan to make a living by farming from now on. In addition to farming, they also have other livelihoods, such as Bang Luo’s use as a peony cushion.

But for people at this time, if they can stock up on some food, they will feel much more at ease. After all, many people have come from the years of suffering and have been hungry and are more persistent in storing grain.

Later, these disciples also set up their homestead next to the land that the Xu family had previously booked. Several families lived together and had contact with each other on weekdays. They could get together to chat and talk when they were free. That day was more enjoyable.

The fields they rented extended north along the creek ditch to the north, until they were next to the foot of the mountain.

The field next to the foot of the mountain is quite fertile, the soil is soft and thick fallen leaves are piled up, but it is also very dangerous because it is close to the forest, when the beasts in the deep mountains cannot find food, they often go down the mountain to find food.

"It is definitely not enough to just leave it here. We have to find some thorns and plant a few rows in this area." Since we have decided to settle down here, all parties must consider it carefully, especially safety issues.

"That thorn cannot be formed in a forest for less than two or three years. You should be careful now." Adults are not afraid of anything, just afraid of accidents from children. Those wild animals are very cunning and specialize in picking out the mouths that are easy to succeed.

"Sow thorns first, then cultivate the land. The fauna seeds bought by the master should have arrived in the near future." A disciple said.

"Just planting grass, you have to cultivate the land?" someone asked in surprise.

"I want it." Xu Erlang also spoke at this time: "I heard from the master that the method is similar to planting beans."

"But it can't grow beans, it's just some grass." Some people expressed their confusion about this. If planting grass is so troublesome, they might as well plant beans directly.

"How many crops can this shaved grass be cut a year, and if you plant it this year, you won't have to plant it again in the next few years, so it will naturally be easier than beans." Xu Dalang said.

"If the mutton fat soap is easy to sell, the price of sheep will definitely be high in the future. Master has introduced the wool to the seeds early, and when others can recognize the benefits of this thing in the future, even if they sell seeds, they can make a lot of money." Xu Erlang added.

"Since that's the case, let's start plowing the land tomorrow." Hearing these words from the two brothers, the others no longer had any objections.

These people have never been told to help their master work. Of course, this has something to do with Luo Yong himself being quite generous to these disciples. I won’t talk about the Xu brothers and Heng Yu. Even those disciples who went to Chang'an City last winter made a lot of money.

On the one hand, they earned money and grain from helping people to ride the kang, and on the other hand, they earned money from selling peony cushions. Luo Yong would charge money at a wholesale price of 100 cents per, and the other extra money was asked to be divided by them. The small courtyard in Chang'an City was considered by Luo Yong. After deducting the money from those peony cushions, it was still a little short of money. Luo Yong also replenished them recently.

Such a large amount of money is like a little rich overnight for many disciples who were originally from poor families. Drinking water and thinking about their source, so they are naturally willing to contribute to Luo Yong.

In addition, they were actually very clear in their hearts that if they still wanted to make money in the future, they had to continue to follow Luo Yong. No one wanted to get off the bus at this time, and they all wanted to perform well in front of their masters.

Many people were very envious of Luo Yong's disciples. They learned how to slim kang from him in Lishi County two years ago but did not join the people under his disciples. Now they probably regretted their intestines.

Unfortunately, after that time, Luo Yong had no intention of accepting his disciples. Many people were indirectly criticized and rejected them by him.

"Sanlang, how do you see these lambs?" At this time, Wang Dang drove a few lambs to the Luo family yard: "This time we go out to collect lard. After passing a small village, we happened to meet a flock of sheep, so we bought a few small ones and came back."

"Not bad, how much does it cost?" Luo Yong happened to plan to raise goats recently, so it is naturally appropriate to buy lambs at this time.

"Then the money will be exchanged for you for mugwort soap?" Wang Dang said with a thick face, scratching his beard.

"Okay." Luo Yong was very happy.

When the king returned from collecting the lard this time, he took the oil to Luo Yong for processing. After the processing, they took half of it, and the other half of Luo Yong would be sold to them at five cents a dollar. How much does these lambs cost? Then he calculated the more they would refund the more and make up for it.

This is also because Wang Dang has a good relationship with Luo Yong, and no one else gets this treatment. If you ask him to make soap, you have to keep half of it. The remaining Luo Yong will sell them for money.

There are many people who want to buy soap in his house, and there are also old teams behind him. Although the soap recipe is half-public now, it is still not easy for ordinary merchants to buy soap at a relatively low price.

"We plan to sell these soaps in Dinghu County this time. I heard that many merchants have come over there recently." Wang Dang said to Luo Yong: "You didn't say you wanted to go to Mengmenguan to eat mulberries. If you don't go there at this time, you're afraid that it will be out of season."

"I'm afraid I can't leave." Luo Yong said helplessly.

His grass seeds are almost here, and they are so new that they can't hang out around if they want to raise a batch of goats before winter begins.

"Since that's the case, then you can go again next year." Wang Dang patted Luo Yong's shoulder. The young man was only a few years older than his son Wang Shao. Now he was about to provoke the whole family, which was not easy to say.

"If you come here this time, if you encounter dried mulberries, please collect some of them for me." Luo Yong said.

"How much do you want?" Wang Dang asked him.

"If the price is right, you can collect a dozen stones for me," said Luo Yong.

"What do you want so many dried mulberries to make?" Wang Dang was surprised at first, and then advised: "The dried mulberries are not delicious, so just buy a bucket and try it."

At this time, the sugar was very expensive, so there were few candied fruits on the market. If the mulberries were dried without sugar, the dried mulberries were dried and hard, and basically had no taste. They were really incomparable to persimmon biscuits and dates.

There are many mulberries in Dinghu County, and these mulberries are difficult to preserve. Unlike fruits like pears, they can be transported to faraway places to sell. After drying, the mulberries are not delicious. Only pharmacies will collect some of them in small quantities. No one buys others. Mugs are produced in various parts of the Central Plains, and merchants from other places do not need to purchase dried mulberries from them at all, so the price is quite low. Generally, poor families are drying some at home and put them in the green and yellow seasons to fill their stomachs.

Luo Yongzhi said that he was kind-hearted and persuaded him, so he did not hide it: "I plan to use it as soap."

Generally, during the process of making handmade soap, many people like to add some fresh vegetables, fruits and melons to it, hoping to try to play a skin care role. However, after adding these things, the soap will easily become rancid.

Luo used this time to soak dried mulberries in water and add soap as water, so the situation should be better than fresh mulberries. His current soap making method can basically be considered a hot method, but there is no salting step. In this way, the nutrition should be less than the cold method of fresh mulberries, but the storage time will definitely be longer.

Wang Dang didn't know how to make soap. He heard that Luo Yong didn't want to buy so many dried mulberries to eat, so he didn't say much.

Dried mulberries are not expensive. No matter whether this soap can be made successfully, Luo Sanlang will definitely be able to afford the risk of dry mulberries for about ten stones.

If it is done, it will be a good thing.

In Dinghu County, not all silkworm farmers are wealthy families with fields and mulberry trees. Many people rent mulberry fields with others to raise silkworms. The rent of mulberry fields is quite expensive and the risk of raising silkworms is relatively high. If the silk price was not high at that time, or if you encounter some other natural disasters and man-made disasters, you will often lose all your money.
