After getting along, Li Xin learned that the owner of the Zhuangzi was named Zheng Xing, and his family lived in Nanbai County, and his family was engaged in the silk business. This time, I wanted to sell Zhuangzi to make up money, because I wanted to try to do maritime business.

Offshore Jiangnan, there are also several wharves open to foreigners doing business. Foreign merchants would bring all kinds of novelties to the Tianchen Dynasty, and people from here would also bring porcelain, tea, silk and other things overseas to sell. Doing business at sea is risky, but it's also very lucrative. Many things that are not surprising in China can be sold for sky-high prices when they sail thousands of miles to other countries.

But it takes a long time to go back and forth, two or three years. Since it's rare to go once, it's natural to bring more things. Zheng Xing and his friend who were in the maritime business got a few big ships together, just to bring more goods out to make a good fortune.

Since coming here, Li Xin has never seen the sea! Listening to Zheng Xing, she was a little yearning.

After Zhuangzi traded, Zheng Xing said that some of the ploughing cattle used in Zhuangzi before were also left to Li Xin, even if he was to make friends. Li Xin was very grateful, she didn't expect Zheng Xing to be so generous, she saw that there were many cattle raised in the Zhuangzi, which were used to cultivate those fields. Cattle were not cheap in this era, and those cattle were still worth a lot of money.

Zheng Xing also asked Li Xin if he wanted people in the Zhuangzi, and the people in the Zhuangzi who were in charge of cultivation were partly tenant farmers in the vicinity, and partly servants bought by the Zheng family. Not counting the tenant farmers, there were more than forty servant men and women, old and young. In addition to the stewards, some of the rest were in charge of farming, and some were in charge of serving, such as sprinkling and sweeping in the house, waiting for the master to come. There were also children, all descendants of the servants.

In this era, there is a family that has children, that is, the slaves and maids in the house are generally referred to the little maids, and the children born are slaves in the family for generations unless they are specially released by the master's family. When you're young, you don't usually get any errands, but when you're old, you have to start doing things.

Li Xin has always been unable to accept that there are slaves at home, but now, after listening to Zheng Xing's words, she is a little hesitant. Those slaves have always been on the Zhuangzi, and they are also very familiar with the things in the Zhuangzi, if they keep those people, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to buy an empty Zhuangzi. When she has figured it out, she will hire good people, and I am afraid that she will miss the planting of the winter season.

Shopkeeper Sun still meant to let her keep those people, and she would have manpower to use. Such a big Zhuangzi, since it was bought, it must be used as much as possible, otherwise it will not be a waste. Li Xin thought about it, but agreed to come down, Zheng Xing was very happy, and said that he would go back and get the deed of sale, and it would be handed over to her soon. Originally, there were many people in the Zhuangzi, but if the Zhuangzi was sold, he really didn't know what to do with those people for a while. If you say that you sell it casually, you are also a little guilty, no matter what, those people have been serving for many years, and they have not made any mistakes, and if they are sold casually, who knows who will be sold to whom! If the new owner's family is not good, it is also a disadvantage to those people.

If you say that you take it home to serve, you won't need so many people at home. Many slaves have served in the house for several generations, and many families have children, and there are gradually many more useless people in the house. And every month is to give the moon silver, which also adds a burden to the house.

Those people's deeds of sale were all at home in the county, and they couldn't get it for a while, so Zheng Xing asked Li Xin's sisters and Sun Shopkeeper to live in Zhuangzi now, and he sent someone to go back to get it quickly. Li Xin has no opinion, she also wants to walk around the Zhuangzi again, and she also wants to plant something.

More than 600 acres of land is really very large, and what to plant is still to be planned carefully. In her hands now, tomatoes and peppers don't cost much seeds, and there are a lot of seeds collected in her hands, and it is okay to plant hundreds of acres, and those mountains can be used. If you start raising seedlings in winter, you can plant them all in the spring. Sweet potatoes have also been harvested, and there are some seedlings in the vegetable garden, and those seedlings can also be planted in a lot of land. Spring potatoes have the highest yield, and there should be more varieties, although the yield of summer potatoes and autumn potatoes is not so high, but they are also good, and some can be planted.

Then a lot of corn seeds were harvested, and many acres could be planted, and some pumpkins could be planted in the corn field. There are a lot of things that can be planted in the mountains, but the paddy fields are a bit difficult to get. The main reason is that there are not many potato seeds in her hands, and there are only a few hundred catties left, and she can't plant many acres, so it seems that she still needs to have a variety of rice.

She didn't want to grow wheat at all, mainly because the wheat varieties of this era had low yields and long wheat cycles, which took too much land.

In the winter season, it seems that it is more suitable to plant potatoes, and many others can only be planted in spring. Rape and peas can be grown in the winter in the south, but I don't know if anyone grows them in this area. If you can, it's good to plant rape for the last season, and you can also fertilize the land and make a lot of oil.

She asked the steward of Zhuangzi, and the steward of Zhuangzi was a husband and wife, the man was in his thirties, his name was Wang Fu, his wife's surname was Yang, and everyone in Zhuangzi called her sister-in-law Wang. Generally, Wang Fu is still in charge of cultivating land, and the Yang family is in charge of the eating and drinking of some people in the Zhuangzi.

Li Xin asked Wang Fu, only to know that Zhuangzi planted two crops a year, one stubble planted winter wheat and one stubble planted rice, and a year passed, but there was no one and no new ideas, and the surrounding people also planted like this. Occasionally, people grow something else, such as soybeans and peanuts, but not much.

These places are not next to the county town, and no one grows vegetables to sell. Generally, the people who grow vegetables and sell them are people whose homes are on the edge of the county town, and they are all supplied to restaurants or run morning markets.

Li Xin also asked Wang Fu about rapeseed, but Wang Fu said that he had never heard of this kind of dish. Li Xin remembered that in ancient times, rape seemed to be called brassica, so he asked Wang Fu if he had heard of brassica. This time, Wang Fu said that he had heard about it, and there were people nearby who would grow and eat it. However, no one will use brassica seeds to extract oil, and they all plant a little bit to eat as vegetables, and don't want it when they are old.

Li Xin was very happy to hear that there was nearby, so Li Xin asked Wang Fu to help find it and see if he could buy some seeds. Although Zheng Xing has not yet handed over everyone's deed of sale to Li Xin, Zheng Xing has already instructed that everyone in Zhuangzi will listen to Li Xin's call in the future, and Wang Fu naturally knows that the little girl in front of him will be the master in the future. After stopping Li Xin's instructions, he took some people to find the seeds of the brassica
