Princess of the auxiliary country

As the population increased, the Emperor also discovered some problems in the imperial village.

At that time, each imperial estate had a lot of land and a large population. In the long run, the Emperor was worried that problems would arise.

Therefore, more than [-] imperial villages were divided again into large and small imperial villages, and the gathered population was also dispersed to various villages.

Nowadays, the total number of land in Huangzhuang has not changed, but the number of Zhuangzi has reached more than [-].

And they are also distributed across the country.

Following Princess Ningyang's narration, Huo Junyao gained a deeper understanding of the Yu Dynasty.

"The royal family's internal funds, most of its annual income comes from the palace. It can be said that this is the money bag of the royal family members."

"Even the emperor cannot move around at will. Therefore, although the emperor rewarded you with a royal manor, there is not much land in it, and it is not good."

"Although you are my daughter, you are not considered a member of the royal family."

"My daughter understands."

Huangzhuang is the royal family's purse. Even if the emperor wants to reward her, he can't give her too much or too much. This is my mother's vaccination.

She feels that there are few things to worry about. In fact, she doesn't think about that. In her opinion, as long as there is land, more is naturally better. It doesn't matter if there is less. It's all for nothing, right?

As for whether the land is good or not, she doesn't care. She has many high-yielding crops in her hands, and they are the kind that don't pick the land very much.

Even if the land is not good, the yield of these crops can far overwhelm the current crops of the Yu Dynasty.

Therefore, if she is not afraid that having less land is not good, she is afraid that there will be no land, so let her put things out.

"Your imperial village is currently the smallest near the capital. It only has [-] acres of farmland, of which only [-] acres are first-class fertile land, and the rest are second-class farmland."

"And your five hundred food estates were also chosen for you by my mother. They are not bad. Although it is not possible to plant all the land on your imperial estate, with slow development, it will be possible to plant all the land in the future. "

The level of farming in the Yu Dynasty was still very backward. Farming almost relied on primitive labor. There was plenty of land, but it also needed manpower.

Judging from the current situation, a family of five, working hard, will never be able to cultivate more than ten acres of land. If they are lazy, they will only be able to cultivate about five or six acres.

After all, it all relies on human power. Even if you have the will, you can't do it, and it can't be mechanized like in later generations.

"My mother has also found two farm managers for you. They are people who have worked with my mother for many years. They are capable and responsible. From now on, they will be your people."

"They have followed those restaurants to Zhuangzi, so you don't have to worry about no one caring about those people."

"After dinner later, I asked Aunt Zhao to call them over. You can ask them anything you want to ask. Anyway, there is not much work on the farm now, so there is no need for you to go over and check in person. Let the two of them come over. I’ll take you to find out more.”

Hearing this, Huo Junyao nodded. It was good to think about it. After all, she didn't do much in the field. When she went there, she just walked around and looked around. Especially now it was the slack season, and there was nothing to see. of.

She is naturally at ease with the person her mother is looking for.

Not long after breakfast, the servants who had taken a warm bath also put on dry clothes again and continued to clean the yard and the snow on the greenhouse under the command of Wangxia and Hongxiu.

Over at the fireplace, many blacksmiths worked overtime and made fifteen more.

There were a total of four greenhouses on her side. She kept four of them first, and gave the rest to Hong Xiu to take with her to the capital.The princess's mansion requires three, the living room, dad's bedroom, and the second brother's bedroom.

Then there is the eldest sister's side. Originally, she thought that she could just send one over for the eldest sister to use, but Princess Ningyang said it would be best to send four.

Her eldest sister was married to the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongning. Two years ago, the old Marquis Yongning died of illness and the eldest son inherited the title. Naturally, her eldest sister also changed from the original wife of the eldest son to the wife of the marquis.

There is also an old lady in the house, who is her eldest sister's step-mother-in-law. I heard that she is not easy to get along with, but she often acts like a monster to deal with her eldest sister.

This old lady also has a son of her own, who is the current second master of the Yongning Hou Mansion. He is also married and has children.

She also loves to jump, but with the pressure of the Marquis, and the backing of her eldest sister, Duke Ji's Mansion and the eldest princess, the mother and son do not dare to go too far.

But after all, the old lady was the step-brother of the old Marquis Mingwen, so her seniority was there.

If only her eldest sister had this fireplace, she would inevitably become a demon. Although there wouldn't be much noise, there would probably be a lot of gossip.

And this old lady has always loved her biological second brother, so I am afraid she will have to ask for it. If she doesn't give it, I'm afraid it will be spread the next day that she treats her second brother harshly.

Is this alarmist or not? People don't dare to make a big fuss, but some gossips always pop up from time to time, and it's not like it hasn't happened before.

Huo Junyao nodded, but secretly told Hongxiu that the four fireplaces could be sent to the eldest sister, but she had to tell her not to give them to them so easily.

But we can't get used to their bad habits. Then the old lady just gives them to her. Then the second master is just a bird, so why should he get her things for free.

If you want it, you need the pig iron to exchange for it, or the money to buy it.

Hongxiu nodded and took note of her words. As for the remaining ones, they were sent to the palace. She also told Hongxiu that they were currently rushing to make them and asked her to ask how many more the palace needed.

You can't just send it to the palace all the time. If it's too much, ask her to ask the emperor for some pig iron. She can't suffer a loss anyway. Iron is not easy to get. It's always a good thing to save more. Don't ask for it when the time comes. It’s troublesome to find it when using it.

Hongxiu took the fireplace and left, while Wangxia continued to take the servants, paying attention to the situation inside and outside the greenhouse.

Now they have restrained their suspicion.

After all, looking at the growing seedlings in the greenhouse, they are not stupid. Why would they still suspect that their princess's original desire to grow vegetables in winter was just a fantasy?

Not long after, Nanny Zhao came back and brought two stewards from Huo Junyao's palace.

Huo Junyao inquired about the situation of Huangzhuang in detail.

These two people are indeed good. They have almost figured out the situation in the imperial village, and they have also formulated a plan to divide the land.

Huo Junyao looked at their distribution plan carefully and frowned slightly.

Each household is allocated an average of five acres of land, of which only one mu is good farmland. Five hundred households are allocated [-] acres of land, and the remaining [-] acres are good farmland.

According to their thinking, these [-] acres of fertile land were reserved for Huo Junyao. Of course, this was also specifically stated by Princess Ningyang.

She also goes to see the situation in the greenhouse every day, and understands that her daughter will probably be able to produce vegetables in winter, so she has left [-] acres of fertile land for her, just in case she needs to use it.
