The Reborn Lady is Farming

   "Report to the princess, the road is safe, we can set off."

   Mu Yangling threw away the clods, got up and walked towards the carriage, asking as he walked, "The soil here is a bit sour, what do you usually plant?"

  Is there a difference between the soil and hot and sour?

Xu Zhi was a little embarrassed, and paused before saying: "The main crops are rice and wheat, and other crops can be grown such as rapeseed soybeans, etc. The people have their own choices." Xu Zhi paused and said: "However, tea and fruit trees are often planted on the mountains. , the former prefect loves to grow tea, and the harvest is not bad."

   Mu Yangling sneered, "He's a prefect, not to mention growing tea, even sweet potatoes can make a lot of money."

  Xu Zhi's face was a little red, and he lowered his head.

   The former prefect was also an official of Dazhou. They were all left from Dazhou. When the new dynasty was established, only one prefect was removed from Juzhou, and now he is estimated to have fallen to the ground.

The prefect exploited too much, so that the Miao people rebelled, and the defense was ineffective, and they found out that the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and the king of Rongjun had tied the people to the capital, so now all officials in Juzhou are ready, Shan One less prefect.

But no one dared to give the prefect to the prefect, because everyone knew that behind him was the king of Rongjun. Not long ago, the king of Rongjun led the army to drive the Xixia army out of the border of Juzhou, and gathered all the seedlings. Zhai, morale is high, who dares to brush his beard at this time?

Therefore, even if he is unwilling, Xu Zhi can only release water in various ways on the Lutian matter to facilitate the county and the king's mansion. Even if it goes against his square character, for the sake of everyone's life, and for the people to live and work in peace, he is willing to Step back here.

   But the fact was much more surprising than he imagined. Xu Zhi peeked at Mu Yangling and felt that the princess was fairly upright.

   Mu Yangling stopped in front of the small pavilion and said, "Get up."

  Xiaoting got up and stood aside with his head lowered. He knew that the princess had not forgiven him, but he had no time to deal with him at this time, and he was hesitant for a while.

  Mu Yangling went to see the terraced fields.

   Mu Yangling glanced at the people working on it and asked, "These are the people's?"

   "Yes, they belong to the common people," Xu Zhi pointed to the terraced fields on another mountain and said, "It belongs to the Lu family, the gentry family you live in now."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly and saw that there were waterwheels turning at the foot of the mountain and on the ridge, and said, "I think this terraced field is very good. There are so many mountains in Juzhou, so why not make a terraced field? , the mountain is either deserted, or there are many forests and little development, and the terraced fields are only seen today."

Xu Zhi worried and said: "The princess doesn't know, the cost of this terraced field is too high for ordinary people to afford, not to mention that not every mountain can be built into a terraced field, which needs to be surveyed and measured, and then built with soil. If there is a problem, the terraced fields may collapse or leak, and if the soil and water cannot be preserved, the terraced fields will not be considered a success.”

   In short, the terraces look good, but the cost is too high.

   Not to mention other things, just laying the soil and cutting down for construction is not something that ordinary people can afford, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

   "What about these terraces?"

"These are all built by a few squires in the city. After they are finished, they are sold at a high price. Those squires have long-term laborers and tenants, all of which are free labor. They only need to provide the money for the tools and the mountain. Then sell it at a high price to wealthy households who want to buy land, and you can make a lot of money from it.”

   Mu Yangling nodded, "So the talents who can build terraces are in their hands."

"That's not true," Xu Zhi said, "Wei Zhuzhu, Liangxian County under the jurisdiction of Juzhou, is the most proficient in the exploration of terraced fields, not only in Juzhou, but in the whole of southern Guizhou. Anyone who is unsure about building large terraced fields should ask him to inspect them. ."

Mu Yangling's eyes lit up, and Xu Zhi admired him even more when he saw it: "Besides, the director of Wei is also a good person. The country gentleman asked him to check, and he received some money. Ordinary wealthy households asked him to check, but he only ate one The rich and the rich take it, the poor and the poor give it, and it is very popular among the people.”

   "Why is such a person only a master? Even if the cost of the terraced fields is high and ordinary people can't afford it, the yamen can come forward. If nothing else, there are still so many labor shares every year."

   Xu Zhi smiled wryly, this princess is a person who is familiar with political affairs, but how did she know the chaos of the previous dynasty.

   Mu Yangling saw him smile wryly, so he stopped asking, and slowly he had a plan in his heart.

  Xu Zhi was embarrassed to tell Mu Yangling how chaotic the Juzhou officialdom was in the past, so he could only sigh in front of her maid, and say what he couldn’t say, in the hope that she would tell Mu Yangling that he hoped that the prefecture’s palace would take more pity on the people.

He subconsciously knew that this was wrong, because Mu Yangling was a female family member, and women were generally not allowed to take part in politics, but sometimes he was a little reluctant. He was born and raised in Juzhou, and he saw that these people were in hardships, but there was nothing he could do, now vaguely Sensing the opportunity, he didn't want to let it go.

So Mu Yangling still knew what he was embarrassed to say, "...most of the labor in Juzhou is used by officials as private affairs, such as helping a certain official build houses and gardens, helping a certain official build terraces, helping a certain official Planting tea trees, fruit trees, etc., public utensils are used privately by the whole government." Lichun said this indignantly, "Manchu state officials, few people are clean, princess, why didn't the emperor replace them?"

"If you change them, who is going to be an official at this time? Moreover, it will also cause panic. If the emperor thinks that the emperor does not allow the officials of the previous dynasty and becomes chaotic again, then it will not be worth the loss," Mu Yangling pondered: "The establishment of the new dynasty, The most important thing is to be stable, wait, neither the emperor nor the prince is someone who can tolerate sand in their eyes, those people are just a matter of time."

   Mu Yangling snorted and said, "The emperor and the prince can't tolerate sand, and I still can't."

  Lichun bowed his head, knowing that she was talking about Xiaoting.

   Back to the house, Xiaoting knelt outside the door consciously, and Mu Yangling asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

   "Yes, minions shouldn't bully others and forget their duty!" Xiaoting kowtowed.

   Mu Yangling said: "Go to your master, I can't punish you."

   Xiaoting burst into tears and kept kowtowing, "Princess, please forgive Xiao, if the child commits another crime in the future, you will strip him alive, and he will never say a word."

   "Go and see your master first."

  Xiaoting saw that Mu Yangling insisted, so she could only wipe away her tears and go out.

Feibai came back in the evening, and went into the house with half-squinted eyes very tired. He tripped at the door. He was so angry that he had to kick his feet out. Only then did he realize that it was a kneeling man who tripped him. Only then did he see the small pavilion full of tears in the not-so-bright moonlight, and said annoyed, "Stinky boy, what are you doing here? You almost scared me to death."

   Xiaoting sobbed.

   Feibai said impatiently: "Okay, okay, your master, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying? Come in and talk."

  Xiaoting served Feibai a cup of hot tea, Feibai took a sip of the hot tea and felt a little more awake, and then asked: "Tell me, what is it, it's worth you to be like a dead father and mother?"
