Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 90

Seeing Baolin's anxious face turn red, Yang Xiaoran giggled and said, "You gotta be kidding me! You are really sincere, brother Baolin."

Baolin rubbed the back of his head, his face turned even redder, he didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he just grinned foolishly and said, "Sister Yaoxiang, you are busy first, I will train them for a while."

"Okay, don't work too hard. I'm going to see the farmers. Brother Baolin, you should be busy first. Let's talk about it later."

Yang Xiaoran returned to the main hall, casually ate some food, straightened his clothes, and waited for a group of farmers to arrive.During the period, they also inquired carefully about the land rent of the householders in Xiajingu village.

"Thirty percent?"

Yang Xiaoran frowned, "Isn't this too dark?"

The corners of Jin Gu's mouth twitched, and she said, "Miss, now the emperor Sheng Ming, the land rent is very low. If it was left in the previous dynasty, it would be a good conscience to collect [-]% of the land."

Yang Xiaoran shook his head, "Thirty percent of the land rent is too high. These households still have to pay the court and do hard labor. Ten percent, ten percent is enough!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Jin Gu was terrified. This girl looked smart, but why did she act like a fool?This is going to be spread, why not be skinned and eaten?Everyone follows the rules, whoever has less land rent is everyone's public enemy, and the big girl must not be allowed to mess around.

"Big girl!"

Jin Gu was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "I implore the eldest girl to think twice before taking it back! Once this matter spreads, those aristocratic families will retaliate against you even more vigorously, and even ordinary people will not tolerate you!" "

"Is it that serious?"

Yang Xiaoran quickly helped Jin Gu up, frowned and said, "As long as we don't tell, who will know?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in this world! The girl's income is low here, and these farmers will find out about it when they leave their relatives. If they let go of their mouths, they will all know. Why don't they come to farm for you like crazy? [-]% rent, unheard of !"

Have you ever seen that the agricultural tax was confiscated, and the state gave money to encourage people to farm the land?

Yang Xiaoran lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that Jin Gu's words made some sense.This is the rule of this era. It is best not to break it casually. Once the interests of others are affected, it will be really difficult for oneself.

After thinking about it, he said, "Then do as Aunt Jin wants."

After a pause, he continued: "I will send cattle to them in spring, and send some rice, noodles and meat to them during festivals. Now, no one will be able to make irresponsible remarks, right?"

Jin Gu nodded and praised: "This is the safe way, young girl is wise."

Yang Xiaoran smiled lightly, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

There are only a few people in my village, how can I grow so much land?Even if I improve the farm tools first, I still have to do too much, and this is not enough for people!
I want to set up a perfume workshop and related products, such as essential oils and aromatherapy.

In addition, I also want to build an earthen kiln and make some red bricks.Datang already has a crucible, even if it can get some elementary glass out of it, it will be successful.Primary cement can also be produced. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Even primary cement is a great thing in this era.

anything else!I am a student of biopharmaceuticals, so I can't let this knowledge go to waste, I have to make a profit for myself.There is no condition for high-tech, and it is always no problem to get some Chinese patent medicines.

Besides, the soy sauce had to be made out, I was really fed up with the taste of the miso sauce, now she misses the braised pork so much!Without soy sauce, the coloring with caramel always loses some taste.I have to make my own greenhouse laboratory...

Thinking about it this way, my head is getting bigger.I used to feel that I couldn't do much in this era, but now that I have some funds, my mind is alive.But now that he has money and ideas, he is in trouble again.

The population of Datang is too small!In an era dominated by agriculture and supplemented by handicrafts, talents are the source of all productivity!What can a person like this do? !

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Bao came in to report: "Miss, the heads of those farmers are here."

"Oh……"

Yang Xiaoran nodded, looked at Cheng Bao, and couldn't help but smile.He is Cheng Zhong's eldest son, and he is over 30 years old now. He left the capital to be the housekeeper of his new home. How can he feel that this guy looks radiant in just one night?

Sure enough, the people of the country are all fans of the government, even if they are housekeepers, they are happy.

It's just that I want to laugh every time I call this guy's name.What's wrong?Call it a castle?Is this paper-thin body worthy of the name?
Brother Baolin should practice his butler first, this guy is a bit weak.

Cheng Bao didn't know that his little master had already slandered him in his heart.At this moment, he just felt that he left the main house and became the housekeeper of the county lord's mansion. It felt so good!Didn't you see that the servants are calling themselves Uncle Bao now?
We are treated the same as grandpa!

But although he was happy in his heart, Cheng Bao still carried out every instruction given by the eldest girl very seriously.Knowing that the eldest girl was new here and wanted to buy people's hearts, she personally went out and went door to door to inform, but the farmers were very moved.

The housekeeper was sent to the door in person. It seems that the new host is at least a very kind person, Amitabha, as long as the rent is not increased.Although I was favored by others yesterday, I still feel a little uneasy when I think about it when I go home.

Farmers have been the best at living since ancient times. They are simple but it doesn't mean they are careless.When it comes to self-interest, this head becomes particularly clever.

For example, if the new owner gives away things as soon as he arrives, is it because he wants to give some sweetness first and then rent more?

It's not like this has never happened before, isn't there always a storyteller talking about it?This is called what, what kind of courtesy first and then soldiers...

As soon as this idea came out, many people lost sleep last night.I just feel that the newly acquired cloth and kapok are a bit hot, and I still think about returning them to others?Just don't ask for a rent increase, and don't dare to receive more rewards.

Feeling uneasy, a group of farmers walked into this exquisite and luxurious mansion tremblingly.In their eyes, this is the biggest and best house they have ever seen.

He even dared to walk in after cleaning the soles of his shoes because he was afraid that his feet would get dirty on the floor.Even so, they are all trembling, very restrained, not daring to make a sound, they look like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Yang Xiaoran looked depressed, did he look like a monster?Girl, I am as beautiful as a flower, what are you afraid of?
Girl, you're overthinking again. People are not afraid of you, but your father and your identity.

The corners of his mouth twitched, he adjusted his mood, tried his best to put on an amiable appearance, and said, "Don't be restrained, elders, this county lord is just here for the first time, and I will have to bother everyone in the future."

The farmer didn't dare to answer casually, so when he came, he elected a person as the leader.This person's name is Zhou Qing, and when he was young, he also went out to do some small peddling business, so he is a well-informed person in Zhuangzi.With him answering for everyone, everyone can rest assured.

Zhou Qing saluted and said, "Despite the orders from the county lord, they are all farmers and have little knowledge, but they still have the strength to handle."

Yang Xiaoran nodded, seeing that the farmers' eyes were turning blue, he couldn't help but secretly admire Jin Gu.

Sure enough, people are old and mature, and my arrival made these farmers lose sleep.

He simply stopped dragging his feet and announced straightforwardly: "The rent in the field is still the same as before."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was relieved and thanked again and again.

"but……"

Yang Xiaoran's "but" raised everyone's hearts in their throats again. Is there really an additional condition?

Seeing that everyone was nervous, Yang Xiaoran pursed his lips and smiled, saying: "Don't be so nervous, the rent will remain the same, but the county magistrate also needs your help. Don't worry, elders, we won't let everyone work in vain, as long as everyone comes to help Take care of the food and pay the wages."

When everyone heard this, they didn't show excitement, but were a little vigilant.Zhou Qing thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "The county lord is kind, and I will give orders to the little people who need it. I just don't know what the county lord is going to do? Is it also necessary during the busy farming season?"

"Food is the most important thing for the people. How can the county lord ask you to help me with my private affairs when the farming season is busy?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no busy farming season.I heard the little man continue to say: "As for what to do...you will know later, it is not a violation of discipline. It's just that the county master is short of manpower now, and he is added as your master. Look at you I couldn’t bear the rags and rags, so I thought it’s better to look for you than to look for someone outside, I’m all relatives, so I’m more at ease.”

When everyone heard this, the big stone in their hearts was completely let go.Seeing that the county magistrate is not like an ordinary nobleman, he is calm and elegant, amiable, with a smile like the spring breeze in March, and born like a doll in a New Year picture, he felt a little close to him, and they all said: "Thank you, magistrate, for your kindness." , the county lord is kind, we should work hard and take care of this three-acre land for the county lord!"

"well said!"

Yang Xiaoran stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "Come on, bring those big white pigs up! It's just a newcomer, so I have to treat the villagers to a meal. It's just that the county lord has just opened the mansion, and there are many things to do For each family, one person counts as one, young and strong people get a catty of meat, children, women and elderly people get half a catty, and each family will bring back a catty of salt!"

This is a real benefit!hiss!What is the origin of this county head?The shot is too generous, right?Even if it is calculated by account, this is a big deal, let alone calculated by head!
Straight girl thief!Half of his body was buried in the ground, and he had never seen such a nobleman!Is this really noble?This is the Bodhisattva who came to help them, right?
"Cheng Steward, send a few more jars of wine to the villagers!"

"Thank you, county lord, thank you county lord for your kindness!"

This group of people is completely at ease.Have you ever seen a shop that gives away fabrics and wine and meat?I and others are just a bunch of mud legs, but they are the daughters of the dignified princes, what can I paint myself?
It's nothing more than a lot of strength. After drinking the county lord's wine and eating this meal of meat, this strength will belong to her old man in the future!The children have not seen meat for several years!Not to mention meat, they haven't eaten salt for a long time, and they are all seasoned with vinegar cloth. These days are as bitter as daylily, I can't say it!
