Grasp the farming script in the famous book

On the second day after entering the plane, Roland had already started exploring the property of the Bennett family.

According to the account books of the Bennett family, there are several sources of income brought to the family by this estate:

The Bennett family's land was tenanted to the villagers of Longbourn, and the tenant farmers paid Mr. Bennett an annual rent.This part of the land rent is the main source of income for the Bennett family.

In addition, the Bennett family's sharecroppers also raised a lot of poultry and livestock for the Bennett family - for the use or consumption of the Bennett family and the villagers of Longbourn.Only in the case of extreme surplus, these poultry may be sent to the market in Meryton.

Outside Roland's bedroom, facing the coniferous forest shrouded in morning mist - that is also the property of the Bennett family.The forest occupies a very large area, and a river flows through the edge of the forest.

This property is mainly used as a hunting ground. Mr. Bennett occasionally invites neighbors to go hunting or fishing together. The turtledoves, partridges and perch caught can enrich the table of the Bennett family-but the economic benefits are limited.

Mr. Bennett was a generous and sympathetic landowner, judging from the notes on the Bennett family books:

His rent hadn't been raised for ten years, and it was about thirty cents cheaper than comparable land in Hertfordshire.

If the tenant farmers of the Bennett family encounter bad harvests or encounter difficulties, they can defer the payment of land rent to Mr. Bennett, and even apply for land rent relief.

This has resulted in hundreds of pounds of land rent pending collection in the account books.

But this also bought the loyalty of the Bennett family's tenant farmers: it is said that no one in Longbourn has ever thought of leaving this small village; the land and tenant it out.

Raising land rent and reclaiming new land - these are all ways to increase income, and it's not that Roland hasn't thought about it.

But the problem is: any income from the land will not solve the current problems of the Bennett family.

Just imagine that the harder she works, the extra income she gets in exchange will be cheaper for the heir of the Bennett family, cousin Collins - it's very angry!

Roland lifted her skirt and walked towards the barn some distance from the house.

There are cattle and horses for camels, sheep and pigs for meat, and some chickens and ducks.

Before she got there, Mrs. Hill greeted her loudly behind her:

"Miss, watch your petticoats—"

The role that Roland drew was the youngest daughter in the family, so Mrs. Hill and the other servants called her "Little Miss" - obviously she had grown very tall, almost taller than her sisters.

Roland didn't think of this at all. When she lowered her head, she realized that the fine linen petticoat had been splashed with mud under the hem of the skirt she lifted.

She turned her head and glanced at a small pond she had just jumped over.

It had rained at night, and the country roads were muddy and full of potholes.

Instead of heeding Mrs. Hill's advice, Roland picked up her skirt and ran quickly to the barn, not caring that the mud splashed all over her fine linen petticoat.

"Come back early and change your petticoats. Sir Lucas's family will be visiting today."

Mrs. Hill reminded helplessly behind Roland.

Roland didn't even look back.

"Miss is really capricious——"

The butler's wife smiled wryly and shook her head, then turned to go into the house.

But for Roland, this "willful" personality is actually useful at this stage. No matter what she does out of the ordinary, she can use the word "willful" to deal with the past.

She stopped in front of the barn of the Bennett family, and after only a few glances, she was sure that the barn could be expanded:

This barn is a "concave" shaped wooden building, and most of the building itself is occupied by stables, cowsheds and pigpens.There are not many chickens and ducks, and they are raised loosely in the open space in the barn. At this moment, the chickens and ducks are walking around with their heads held high in front of Roland.

The direction facing the "concave" shape of the barn is a large grassland, with two sparse fences nailed, it seems that it is going to be used as a place for sheep.

Outside the fence, there is another piece of wasteland that has not yet been cultivated.

This wasteland is relatively far from the water source, which may be the reason why this land has not been cultivated.

The wasteland is now covered with large patches of wild gooseberries, raspberries and elderberries, and if Roland hadn't been so preoccupied with the Bennetts, she would want to pick gooseberries and raspberries and eat them, dipped in elderflowers. Syrup to drink.

"This can be used as a breeding farm."

Roland secretly figured out: If she finds people to expand the livestock pen and convert it into a breeding farm, what kind of poultry and livestock should she raise to realize her plan.

At this time, a tenant farmer in his forties strode over, glanced at Roland's petticoat covered in mud, and said in a rough voice, "Miss, this barn is not the place for you to come."

The note in front of Roland showed: "Thomas Barry, a sharecropper of the Bennett family, has a daughter Betty who is the same age as Lydia Bennett."

"Uncle Barry, how is Betty today?" Roland greeted.

Thomas' face immediately became much better. He clearly realized that he was talking to "Little Miss", and quickly reached out and took off his hat.

"Miss, thank you for your concern. Betty's health is much better. My wife is reluctant to let her do farm work, and would like to ask if the kitchen in the house needs help."

Roland agreed straight away: "Okay! I'll go and talk to Mrs. Hill."

This is why people have the same fate but different fates: two little girls of the same age, one thinks about beautiful clothes and ribbons all day long; the other has to work for a living early.

Roland never minded helping Betty, after all, for "farming", his own kitchen was definitely the target to be conquered - there would be nothing wrong with placing a helper in beforehand.

"Thank you, kind young lady, our family will pray for your health."

Thomas' attitude suddenly turned enthusiastic.Roland asked him several questions in succession, and he answered them all.

It's just that Thomas scratched his head while answering, as if he couldn't figure out why the little lady was interested in a barn full of mud.

What Roland was thinking at the moment was: Faced with so many possibilities, where should she start?

"Uncle Barry—what's the sign on this wooden sign...?"

When Roland was wandering in the barn, he looked up and saw a wooden sign hanging on a wooden post with a mark painted on it, which looked like the brand mark of the producer of the "Masterpiece Series".

"I've never seen this before... whoever hung this up today!"

Thomas scratched his head, stretched his arm, took off the wooden sign, and handed it to Roland.

"This is……"

Roland held the wooden sign in his hand and looked at it over and over.

Just popped up today...shareholders who work in barns don't know what it means either...

Roland raised his head suddenly: "Thank you, Uncle Barry, you really helped me a lot!"

She bid farewell to Thomas, holding the wooden sign, hurriedly jumped over one muddy pond and another puddle, and returned to the big house of the Bennett family.

Back in his bedroom, Roland put the wooden sign on his knees and called Luna:

"Come on, let's see what I found."

The little "milk cat" quickly ran over, jumped up, and squatted into Roland's arms.

"Yo, isn't this the compensation cue card that the producer gave you? Where did you find it?"

Roland quickly removed the wooden casing marked with the manufacturer's mark, like removing a set of building blocks.

Sure enough, a thin piece of cardboard was exposed inside—it was really a reminder card.

Roland raised the corner of his mouth and answered Luna's question: "I went to the barn today and found it there."

"Reality shows are always like this: within three steps, there must be a hint. If I want to farm, it must be waiting for me in a place related to farming."

Luna stroked the fur on her paws, her little head bit by bit, she probably felt that what Roland said made sense.

"But the cue card refers to..."

What is drawn on the cardboard is a red pine with a particularly beautiful shape.

"The red pine..."

Roland held his chin and began to think: What exactly does this reminder card remind her of?

In the property of the Bennett family, there is indeed a large coniferous forest, with red pine, oak, and beech growing...

Is there a secret that can make people get rich through hard work?

Roland got up suddenly, carefully stored the reminder card, and picked up the cat:

"Luna, come with me this time!"

cat:……?

No matter how surprised the little cat was, Roland picked up the cat, put on shoes suitable for going out, and walked briskly all the way downstairs, where he met Mrs. Hill with a surprised face.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Hill!"

Roland was eager to verify the clues she received from the reminder card, and for a moment even forgot Mrs. Hill's earlier instructions.

Mrs. Hill was satisfied to see "Little Miss" come back to change her clothes with her muddy petticoat, but now she saw her in the same petticoat, with her out shoes on, and a cat in one hand. The little tabby cat, holding a small wicker basket in the other hand, was walking out.

Mrs. Hill: ...

"Miss, Sir Lucas's family is coming soon..."

In desperation, Mrs. Hill hurriedly opened her mouth to remind her.

Roland didn't stop, he turned his head and waved: "Mrs. Hill, thank you for reminding me! I will come back as soon as possible."

"..."

"By the way, I helped you find a good candidate to help the kitchen. I'll let her come to see you later, and you can see if it's suitable for you!"

Mrs. Hill: "Miss, the most important thing is that you come back early to change your petticoat!"

Roland waved his hand: "I remember! I will try to come back as soon as possible!"

Thinking of the red pine drawn on the cue card, Roland was in a particularly good mood. While walking towards the coniferous forest in the distance, he was so happy that he almost hummed.

She didn't expect that the producer actually arranged this... the most precious wealth code buried in the coniferous forest.

As the champion of the "Farming the World" contest, if Roland can't make good use of it...then she might as well retire early.
