Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The three Man Bao were so amazed that they gathered around them, "Why did you all come to Yongzhou?"

He added: "We went out in a hurry and forgot to tell you, we were still anxious before."

Yin Or and Liu Huancai didn't believe it. They couldn't come to inform them in person about a single sentence.

Apparently they didn't take them to heart.

The two of them were angry for a while, and the three of them all saluted and apologized, and it took a while to coax the two of them, so the two of them didn't go to the room they had just decided, but went directly to the yard they rented. Just wash and rest in Bai Shan and Bai Erlang's house.

The things Bai Shan and Bai Erlang used were all brought from home, which was naturally very good. Yin Or and Liu Huan did not dislike it either. They washed and changed clothes and went to say hello to Mrs. Liu and others, and told them they were coming. Then go back to the house.

Bai Shan and the others originally wanted to go shopping, but they won't go out now, so they asked the man to bring them meals and sat together in Bai Shan's house, eating and talking.

Yin Or ate some, he had a small appetite, and soon he was full, and then he leaned on the couch and fell asleep.

Man Bao wrote a prescription for drying and handed it to Changshou, and asked him to grab the medicine for his young master to drink.

Yin Or was just a little tired and didn't have any other problems, but he forgot to bring his medicine, and it was time for him to take it.

It was convenient for Changshou to go out after taking the medicine, but he didn't actually need to go.

Longevity turned around and stood up again.

Yin He moved, waved Changshou and Qingyu to go down to eat, then looked at the four with excellent appetite, yawned and asked, "How can you eat so much?"

Man Bao looked at his empty bowl, ate the last mouthful of steamed buns, and said, "We have to eat a little less, and we have to go shopping at night."

Liu Huan didn't take a nap either, and felt a little sleepy at this time, so he yawned and asked, "It won't be dark until after Xu? You don't have any lights when you go out."

Bai Shan responded and said, "So go to sleep, we will go out together when you wake up."

After hearing what he said, the two immediately went to rest in peace, and they didn't even bother to eat or sleep well.

But who cares, the two didn't go to their upper room, they directly occupied the bed of Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, Liu Huan kicked off his shoes and fell asleep.

Yin may be better. Under the service of Longevity, he has loosened his clothes and slept in his underwear, which is quite comfortable.

They slept until the sunset, and when they woke up, the room was already a little dark, but there was still light outside, but it was estimated that it would be completely dark within a quarter of an hour.

The two quickly got up, washed and dressed.

Bai Shan and the others were sitting in the yard chatting. There were pen and ink on the table, a lot of words and paintings were written on it, all about the planning of the job field.

Hearing the movement of them waking up, Bai Shan finished calculating the data in his hand, wrote it down, and then packed it up.

Yin Or came out while putting on his coat, and caught a glimpse of their manuscript. It happened to be a painting on the top. It was square, and he couldn't see what it was, so he asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "It's nothing, Man Bao's picture of the field."

Yin He just remembered and asked, "So this time you are here to see Man Bao's job field?"

The three nodded together.

Yin He just took out the picture and looked at it, and found that the river was also marked on it, and a circle was drawn on one side of the river, which seemed to be a pond or something.

He wondered, "Can the field be dug a pond?"

"No," Man Bao said, "This does not belong to the scope of my work field, but is on the side. It is a wasteland, mostly sandy soil. It is not difficult for me to rent or buy it."

"What if your job field is not here in the future?"

Man Bao smiled and said, "Then sell the pond to others, or rent it to others."

Yin He smiled, "What if no one buys or rents it?"

"What does it matter? Bai Shan's house has Zhuangzi nearby, and the same is true for the villager who will be handed over to his family."

It is also based on this consideration that they dare to plan to spend so much money to dig ponds.

Yin Or couldn't help but flip through their draft, which not only included the plan to raise how many chickens and ducks, but also how many fruit trees to plant, he asked in a daze: "How do you all calculate this? ?"

"It's done with arithmetic," Bai Erlang could answer him. "It's better in the north, where the terrain is flat, and the land is basically every 10,000 acres of land. Almost all of the 100 acres are connected together, even if there is a gap in the middle, it is only a few acres of land separated from each other, not connected here, there are connected there, so it is easy to calculate."

"These are all mature fields. It's a pity to use them to plant fruit trees, so fruit trees and mulberry trees are planted on ridges. We have calculated the distance. Except for the ridges that must be allocated to the tenant farmers, we can use them for planting. fruit trees."

Yin or wondered, "Why must the ridge be distributed to the tenant farmers?"

Bai Erlang choked for a moment and then asked back, "Give it to them regardless of the land, what kind of land do they use to grow mulberry and hemp? They have to pay the court for cotton wool."

Yin or where did he know this and asked, "Do they have no land to grow mulberry and hemp?"

Bai Shandao: "Most of that land is the imperial court's field. If you want to grow mulberry and hemp, you can only plant it on wasteland, but it is overgrown with weeds, and there are all kinds of shrubs and waste rocks, which requires a lot of money. Large human and material resources, it is better to plant in the ridge."

Man Bao nodded.

Yin He was silent for a while and then asked, "Will there be any harvest when you plant fruit trees in the ridges? I heard people say that children in the countryside steal fruit."

Man Bao smiled and said: "I didn't point to these fruits to make money. I'll pick them when the time comes. If the fruits are well planted, we'll give them the fruits along with chickens and ducks during the festivals. We save money and they eat happily. no?"

Liu Huan, who came out of his clothes, heard a smile and said, "I have only heard that Zhuangzi gave gifts to the host, but never heard that the host gave gifts to the tenant farmers. Are you the opposite?"

Man Bao scratched his head and asked, "Is it the other way around? But when we were at home, we delivered things to the long-term workers at home every year, and Grandma Liu and the others never said anything."

Bai Shan: "Isn't it wrong? It's written in the book. During the Chinese New Year and festivals, you should give thoughtful gifts to your subordinates, so that your subordinates can have a more sense of belonging. The whole book is written about how to subdue your subordinates."

Yin or curious, "What book is this?"

Bai Shan was about to say the title of the book, when he thought of something, he smiled and said, "I read a miscellaneous book when I was very young, and now I don't know where I got it."

Liu Huan still didn't believe it, "Every year, the steward of my Zhuangzi sends things to my house, but I have never seen one from my family giving gifts to the tenant farmers. If you don't believe me, ask Qingyu."
