Ma Dafu's eyes were slightly red, and he said: "In the past, when the family couldn't survive, they let him go out to beg for a living. These years, he was outside as a servant, and it was his boss's grace that allowed him to redeem him. His previous boss had a There is a large orchard, and he can make a lot of money every year just by selling fruits, and he also proposed to plant fruit trees for the sake of the palace."

"Who was his former employer's name? Where is the family name, and what is the family's business?"

Ma Dafu opened his mouth wide and couldn't answer, so Mu Yangling sneered and said, "Do you think it's so easy for a servant to redeem himself?"

How many slaves worked their lives to create a way of being a good citizen.

How many people have followed Qi Haoran through life and death, so far, only one Fei Bai can break free from his status as a slave, isn't he kind?

No, Qi Haoran is considered a benevolent person in Daqi, but even he did not easily let the people who signed the death contract in the mansion get out of slavery, and the servants of the living contract can redeem themselves as long as they get enough money. But it is very difficult for those who signed the contract to get a good job, and it is even more difficult to serve the master. There is no reward, only the wages. out yourself.

Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, it is impossible for them to live without spending a penny. Girls need to buy makeup when they grow up, and boys need to socialize. Mu Yangling has never met someone who came to the door and was able to ruthlessly reject his parents and family members and save all the money alone.

Therefore, the death contract does not release people, and the living contract does not have a ransom, which creates a situation where it is difficult for slaves to be free. Otherwise, how could there be more and more slaves?

Because there are only people who keep going in, it is difficult for anyone to come out, so Qi Xiuyuan ordered a certain place to release slaves only after a year and a half, and even ordered the local county government to pay for the slaves and restore their status as good citizens. Dividing the fields and land gives them the capital to work hard.

Ma Xiang was sold as a slave, no matter whether it was a living contract or a dead contract, it is impossible for him to return home in eight years, unless he has made great contributions to his master in a short period of time, and he knows the secret. There are many, so he can be released, or he is a fugitive slave!

No matter which one it is, he must not have received much training, otherwise he would not interrupt like that in Zhuangkou, let alone talk about his father like that. Not only does he not understand the rules, but he is also disgusting.

Seeing that Ma Dafu didn't know more about the situation, Mu Yangling waved him to go out and wait, and said to Lichun, "Let everyone have a rest, I'll go to the farm in the afternoon."

Thinking that the four children were still running wildly in the mountains at this time, he said: "Let the kitchen make some easy-to-digest food for the young masters, and let the guards deliver it to them, and they are not allowed to barbecue wild animals on the spot. The children have weak stomachs, so eat them." It’s not good to have too much barbecue.”

Li Chun agreed, and hurriedly went out to tell Li Xia, Li Xia pouted and asked: "Ma Zhuangtou is still waiting there, just now he said he wanted to go down the mountain to prepare, but I didn't agree, sister, what if he brings it up later?"

Li Chun snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it okay to let him go down and report the news? The princess just left him alone on purpose, and asked someone to take him to the front yard and hand him over to Steward Wang. You don't have to pay attention, Steward Wang will take care of him." .”

"It's really a dog bites a dog's hair. Wang Guanshi used to be quite sensible, but who knows that he can't figure it out."

"Okay," Li Chun interrupted her complaint, "Hurry up and do something. After Li Qiu tidies up the princess's room, I'll call someone to let me know. I'll take care of the princess to rest."

Li Xia hurriedly responded.

Lichun looked at her back and sighed slightly.

In the past, Gu Yu alone could arrange these things in an orderly manner and quickly. After Gu Yu got married, Li Xia and Li Qiu took over, but neither of them was as capable as Gu Yu alone.

Mu Yangling went down the mountain wearing a veiled hat after her lunch break. She didn't wear the veiled hat well. She rolled up the hanging veil to the top of the hat. The curved back is even more curved.

It was the end of summer at this time, and the tenant farmers in the farm were in a hurry to dry the corn. Seeing the princess and her party coming from a distance, they ran out of the field and stood up stiffly. Mu Yangling waved and said, "You can do whatever you want." Go ahead, don't wait around."

Seeing the kindness of the princess as always, the tenant farmers let go a little, turned around and continued to break the corn, and they were used to seeing the princess go down to the field to break a piece of corn by herself, but Ma Xiang, who was trotting over, widened his eyes, and a How could the pampered princess go to the field to break corn?

Doesn't she feel dirty?

Didn't she find it disgusting to be in that dark field?

Mu Yangling opened the afterbirth and saw that the corn kernels inside were full and big, and the corn cobs were not too small. She nodded slightly satisfied, looked at the corn that had been broken off the ground, and asked the tenant farmers, "How is the corn harvest this year? "

The tenant farmer smiled all over his face, "The harvest is very good. The young ones have privately estimated that this acre of corn can have seven or eight bags after drying, which is more than 600 catties."

"Now the land is raw land that has just been reclaimed, and the yield per mu is still low. When you plant the land, God will reward you. The yield per mu should reach seven or eight hundred catties."

The tenant farmer nodded again and again, "This is all thanks to the princess and the prince."

Mu Yangling just smiled, dropped the corn cob and turned to look at the rice in the paddy field. At this time, the leaves of the rice had begun to turn yellow, and it was estimated that it would be harvested in half a month. Mu Yangling pinched a grain and looked at it. Nodding in satisfaction.

Although there is little land in Guangzhou, the water and soil are very suitable for growing rice, especially the depressions at the foot of the mountain. The soil below is black and very fertile, not at all like the paddy fields that have been reclaimed.

So this year Zhuangzi can be regarded as a bumper harvest.

Seeing Ma Dafu following behind dejectedly, the tenant farmer didn't go forward to explain. The princess asked them a few tenants and they knew that Ma Dafu didn't know why he offended the princess. He said: "Today, the farm not only planted corn and rice, each family also planted two or three acres of peanuts, and some sweet potatoes at the foot of the mountain." Don't look down on it, otherwise the younger ones can contribute some."

"Peanuts can be used to extract oil. This is a treasure. As for sweet potatoes, can you keep them?"

The tenant farmer hurriedly said: "We grow sweet potatoes because the vines of sweet potatoes can be fed to pigs. The pigs raised in the farm are cute to eat. As for the sweet potatoes harvested in autumn and winter, they can be eaten by pigs even if people can't finish them. We cut some and dry them for snacks. , this thing doesn’t pick a place to grow, just cut a piece of land at the foot of the mountain to grow, and it doesn’t occupy the field.”

"I heard that sweet potato powder is already made from sweet potato powder in the Jiangnan area. It is delicious, not only can be preserved, but also can fill your stomach. It is similar to the corn flour sold in grain shops. Maybe you can try it. "

What Mu Yangling was talking about was the small village where she and Li Jinghua took refuge. In order to prevent a famine, she asked people to find sweet potatoes from the Fujian area and plant them for them. After they left, the villagers, because of their meritorious service in protecting their family, After Qi Xiuyuan ascended the throne, he rewarded him severely.

The villagers are grateful to Dade, because she recommended sweet potatoes, and they have been planting them all the time. They have gradually figured out various ways to eat sweet potatoes. As corn kernels turn into corn flour, jade noodles, sweet potatoes are also figured out by them. Flour and sweet potato fries, now this thing can be stored for a long time.

Surprise flashed in the tenant farmer's eyes, and he decided to dig some sweet potatoes in the field tomorrow to try it out.
