??Chapter 767 Want to laugh
??The next day, the weather was rare and clear, the spring breeze brought warmth, and under the blue sky was full of vitality and spring.
??The deserted garden outside the south of the city was even more busy.
??The annual spring plowing and busy planting is the top priority of the year.
??The barren garden was newly built. The original wasteland was uninhabited, so there were no tenants to rent land. Except for the newly bought servants, the plowing and sowing are basically hired labor.
?? There are advantages and disadvantages to hiring labor.
??The fields are rented out and cultivated by tenant farmers, saving time and worry, as long as the steward collects the rent in proportion after the annual autumn harvest.
?? While hiring labor to farm, these people are forced to work helplessly in order to survive. First of all, everyone has selfishness and will not care about it like a tenant farmer. The employer has to work hard to manage it.
?? But the benefits are also obvious. The entire barren garden can be planted according to the wishes of the owner, and he can plant whatever he wants. The harvest, excluding the employment cost, basically goes into the pocket of the employer.
??Yang Lan'er, the steward of Huangyuan, didn't arrange for the people he brought from Chong County, but selected from the newly bought servants in Pengcheng.
?? It's not that the people from Chong County don't trust her, but she's afraid that they don't understand the climate in the north, which will be bad for management and delay the spring plowing.
??At this time, the new steward was having a headache. There were dozens of hectares of fields, except for the paddy fields near the lower reaches of the small river, which were going to be planted with rice. All other dry lands are planted with potatoes, sweet potatoes and soybeans.
??In fact, the newly opened wasteland does not have much fertility and it is impossible to plant other crops.
?? But who will tell him why there is so much difference in preparing enough seeds?
??Sweet potatoes have the largest gap, followed by potatoes.
??He found out that the lost seeds had all entered the mouths or pockets of the laborers through careful and unannounced visits.
?? As a cheap crop, sweet potato is easy to cultivate and has a high yield. It can fill the stomach and taste good. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
??Faced with hunger, can workers be indifferent?
?? Potatoes are even worse. One potato can grow several husks, and if you sneak it home, you can also produce some grain in front of your house.
??When the situation was reported to Yang Lan'er, she was also full of helplessness.
??She knows that life is not easy for anyone, but...
?? "Pull another batch of seeds over there, and finish the spring sowing first."
??Xiao Jiu asked: "Then steal the seeds..." Leave it alone?
?? "Afterwards, the steward should be beaten and beaten, and by the way, catch a few thorns to stand up, and kill the chickens to make an example."
??Yang Lan'er knows one thing well, there is no rule without rules.
??If not, wouldn't Huangyuan be in chaos in the future.
??But I know that the law does not blame the public.
??Xiao Jiu: "... promise!"
?? Kill chickens and monkeys! Once he is used to it, he is the best!
??This job is much more interesting than facing the ledger all day.
??Yang Lan'er couldn't help but yawned.
??Chun is sleepy, autumn is lacking, summer is dozing off, the spring breeze is too gentle, Furong's delicate face is full of tiredness, and the green onion and jade hands are hurriedly waved back. (The author made up nonsense doggerel, don't joke.)
??When Xiao Jiu turned around and exited the door, Yang Lan'er's lazy voice sounded again: "Remember, handle it carefully."
?? "..."
??Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu stumbled with his left foot and staggered with his right foot, almost losing his balance!
??Hold it high and put it down gently? ? ?
??Xiao Ruo saw a tall, burly black figure falling in front of her. First, her heart was thumping with fright, but when she realized that it was Xiao Jiu with a paralyzed face, she burst out laughing with a "puchi"!
Hahaha…
??Xiao Jiu felt embarrassed, but didn't show it on the face, and asked her: "What did Madam just say?"
??Xiao Ruo suppressed her smile and pursed her lips: "Didn't Director Xiao Jiu hear that?"
?? "I'm deaf!"
??Okay, Xiao Ruo wanted to say: I will not support you against the wall!
?? Self-injury and no one!
??She rolled her eyes like Yang Lan'er, and paused every word: "Heavy-take-light-release!"
??Haha, she still wants to laugh!
