Chapter 32
After they became proficient on Friday, Steward Zhang arranged to check the fields. They were not as diligent as before. On Friday, they saw that many flowers seemed to be blooming in the past two days, so they came to ask Nan Yan what to do next?
Nan Yan calculated the time, the roses and tulips would bloom within half a month.

She had thought that on Friday they would pick the flowers and send them to her.

Then I felt that it was not right, so I decided to go there myself.

Nan Yan went to Shanghe Village, looked at the flowers in the field and said to Friday: "Friday, you go and call the other families to my house, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Miss Nan, I'll go right away." Knowing which families Nan Yan was referring to on Friday, he quickly gathered them together.

Nan Yan, who was in the field, brought the new "Zisu" and the housekeeper home.

Nan Yan glanced at the crowd, sat on the first seat, and said slowly: "During this time, everyone has taken good care of the flowers in the field. Now some flowers will bloom soon. This is my plan. After everyone collects roses and tulips, I will rent out the first season of roses and tulips to you, and the latter like chrysanthemums, peonies, and jasmines.

Flowers bloom in different periods, so she can only ask everyone to collect the flowers and then count the money for them.

When people on Friday heard that there would be income so soon, several tenant households rubbed their hands and asked in embarrassment: "Miss Nan, how will our rent be calculated?"

They worry that flowers are not food, and they can estimate the price of food, but they don't know the price of flowers.

Nan Yan was also thinking about how much rent to give them.

She only owns one hundred acres of land now, and in addition to a large number of roses, there are also other flowers such as chrysanthemums, peonies... and so on.

On Friday, except for Zhou Xiao's own family who had less than [-] acres of land to cultivate, the other tenants were able to cultivate [-] acres of land each.

Nan Yan measured the number of catties of flowers collected in the field, and said: "Pick the flowers, and I will give you thirty dollars per catty, like the first batch of roses in the field, each of you can collect at least one or two hundred catties. After cultivating a batch of flowers, you can also compete for three to five taels of silver."

In fact, they never expected to get so much money on Friday, and now they were shocked by the amount Nan Yan said.

On Friday, he stumbled and said: "Miss...Nan...Miss Nan...means that we will...take...take off the flowers, Nan...Nan...Miss Nan, give us...us...[-] money... A catty."

Nan Yan nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, because the land is mine, and I will pay the tax. Now I can only give you this price."

In fact, she was also worried, the roses only bloomed once a year, and they depended on farming the land for food on Fridays. If she gave too little, they would only have three or four taels of silver a year, and these people might end up living the life of Mei Lan's former family.

Finally, think about it.

Forget it, these people are hanging out with her, and the price is so much!
For such a price, you should buy loyalty.

There are also roses that bloom once a year. If she wants to harvest flowers repeatedly, she has to re-plant them to bloom.

She only has a little land in her hand, how can she meet her previous budget.

Nan Yan thought, there are a lot of barren hills now, and the wasteland has not been developed. She went to the Land Book Office and told her that an acre of wasteland is only [-] to [-] Wen.

If it didn't work, she bought hundreds of acres of barren land and hills and planted all flowers.

When Nan Yan went to the fields today, she could already smell the fragrance of flowers. If the mountains and plains were full of flowers and exuded the fragrance of flowers, the smell and the scene would be incredible.

Nan Yan talked with Friday about the rent, and then said: "Friday...you guys, if there is still land behind me for you to cultivate, you can come here quickly."

Just now on Friday, I calculated the price given by Nan Yan.

He calculated that there were not only roses in the field, but also other flowers. If the price of each flower was calculated, at least twenty taels of silver came into the account every year.

Oh my god, that's 20 taels of silver!

In the past, we rented land to grow grain, and after collecting the grain and paying taxes for a year, the whole family barely had to go hungry. They never imagined that there would be so much grain or money.

On Friday, I heard Nanyan say that if Nanyan still has other land in his hand, would they be able to come here? On Friday, they planned their own population, without even thinking about it: "Nan, Miss Nan, our family has a large population. If Nan... Miss Nan... still has other land in her hands, and we brothers can rent another twenty or thirty acres."

"Yes, Ms. Nan, we have a lot of family members. If Ms. Nan still has land in her hands, we brothers can still rent a few acres." Zhou Da, the eldest brother on Friday, said.

Xia Chao didn't have many breeds of cattle, and the family wanted to continue renting land on Friday, fearing that in the future, the family's men would become exhausted.

Of course, this is something.

After picking roses in the field, you don't need to take special care of them, just loosen the soil occasionally and water them to prevent them from dying.

So Nan Yan said: "I don't have land yet, but I plan to reclaim the wasteland and plant flowers on it. If any of you want to rent it, go to the housekeeper and report the number of acres to the housekeeper."

A few tenants with a large population want to rent more land, but they don't know how many acres of wasteland Nanyan wants to buy, they don't know how much to rent!

Nan Yan didn't wait for everyone to ask, and said: "I plan to buy a lot of wasteland, everyone can rest assured and report the number of acres needed."

With Nanyan's words, four families soon signed up, and only Aunt Lanhua sat in her seat.

Nan Yan waited for someone to report the number of acres she wanted on Friday, and she told everyone that when the time comes, the flower collector will arrange for someone to teach them how to flower, and on Friday, the talents will go back to their respective homes.

Nan Yan asked the housekeeper to send Friday and others away, took the registration form from the housekeeper, and felt that these people were quite self-aware.

The reported number of acres of land belonged to Wu's family at most, and they had to rent [-] acres of wasteland.

The other three families rent only ten acres each, and everyone rents land based on their own labor force.

Nan Yan did not stay in the village this time, but chose to go back to the city to continue her work.

She had just walked out of the house when she saw Zhou Yue and Zhou Fang coming to her door.

When Zhou Fang heard that Nan Yan was returning to the village, she hurriedly pulled the third brother who was resting at home today, and came to see Nan Yan at Nan Yan's house.

It's just that the moment the brothers and sisters arrived at the door, Nan Yan came out of the house.

Zhou Fang hopped up to Nan Yan as before, took Nan Yan's hand affectionately, and said, "Sister Yan'er, why did you come back to the village? You weren't here a while ago, and I didn't have any playmates to play with."

Nan Yan and Zhou Fang have only been together for more than half a month.

The relationship between the two of them is not as close as that of He Sanniang.

Now being pulled over by Zhou Fang suddenly, he was unnatural and stunned for a moment.

But she quickly recovered and said, "You girl, even if I'm not in the village, do you still have few playmates?"

She knew that there were many little girls in the village, and Zhou Fang was a girl who escaped, even if she was not in the village, Zhou Fang would not be lonely.

Zhou Fang shook Nan Yan's hand and said, "They are different from Sister Yan'er."

Looking at his coquettish younger sister, Zhou Yue said helplessly, "Fang Fang, let go of Miss Nan's hand first." Then he said to Nan Yan, "Miss Nan, do you want to go out?"

Nan Yan heard Zhou Yue's words and said, "Yes, I'm done with things here, and I'm going back to the city."
