Shang Jinxiu waited until midnight and everyone else was asleep, so she sneaked out of the room. Wushan Village was a little far away from Qingzhou City, and she had to use her spatial ability to teleport all the way through.

She had already found a map and determined the location of Wushan Village, although it was night, she was not afraid of making a mistake. Wushan Village is thirty miles away from Qingzhou City, and Shang Jinxiu can only use the spatial ability to teleport, but it took half an hour to reach Wutu Mountain outside Wushan Village.

However, the cost of the ability was also huge, using up a third of the ability in her body.

There is no moon in the sky, and when you look down from Wutu Mountain, the Wushan Village below is shrouded in darkness, and the shadows are indistinguishable. Shang Jinxiu only took a look, and found that Wushan Village was really small, with only about 100 households in total, and they were all close to each other in order to save land. The houses of each family were also very small, all of them were mud huts, and they were covered with a layer of thatch, which looked dilapidated.

Looking at Wutu Mountain again, it is really barren. She used to live in Qingshan County, and she was used to seeing the green mountains there, and then she felt very uncomfortable when she looked at Wutu Mountain.

What made Shang Jinxiu even more uncomfortable was that the entire space here was full of metallic energy. This kind of place is naturally a good place for a person with metallic abilities to cultivate, but what she has is not metallic abilities, but spatial abilities. There's so much metallic energy here that doesn't make her uncomfortable, but it's not very comfortable.

Shang Jinxiu didn't want to stay here too long, so he didn't waste any more time. She crouched down and pressed her palms to the ground, and two wisps of spatial ability instantly shot out of her palms, directly submerging into the rocks beneath her palms.

Those two wisps of ability kept going down. Go deep into the Wutu Mountains. Shang Jinxiu used these two abilities to check the situation inside Wutu Mountain. This check. She found a problem - the entire Wutu Mountain and the bottom of the Wutu Mountain is actually an iron ore vein, and the ore vein is very large. There's a lot of iron ore hidden inside!

These iron ores are of high quality and rich in iron, and a little quenching can yield a lot of refined iron, which is very suitable for making weapons and agricultural tools.

Shang Jinxiu was shocked, although she guessed from the metallic energy contaminated by the villagers of Wushan Village that there should be a metallic ore here, she didn't expect that the entire vein was so huge and of high quality!

Such a place, not to mention ordinary people, even the kings and grandsons are not allowed to mine privately. It can only be controlled in the hands of the emperor. Shang Shigong is just a small prefect, and he can't be involved in this kind of thing.

It's better not to let people know about this matter.

Shang Jinxiu made up her mind, and the next moment, she withdrew her ability, but at the same time as the ability was withdrawn, a streamer flew out of the ground and landed in her palm. At first glance, it was nothing more than a fist-sized rock. But as long as you have a little eyesight. It can be seen that it is a piece of iron ore of very good quality.

Shang Jinxiu looked at the iron ore in his hand, shook his palm, and when he opened it again, the iron ore had already disappeared.

She wiped the beads of sweat from her face. glanced in the direction of Wushan Village, and then used the spatial ability to teleport away without hesitation.

She already understood the reason why Wushan Village and Wutu Mountain were so barren. It's because of those iron ores underneath. The huge iron ore causes the metallic energy here to be too dense, and the energy of other attributes is crowded. The land gradually lost its vitality.

Half an hour later, Shang Jinxiu returned to his room. It's just that at this time, only one-third of the energy in her body is left. The cost of the alien energy was too much, and her face turned slightly pale.

Because he made up his mind to hide this matter, Shang Jinxiu's bento didn't happen, and he still followed Lan Qi to learn martial arts.

Soon, three days passed, and it was time for Shang Shigong to agree with the villagers of Wushan Village. On this day, the villagers of Wushan Village came to Qingzhou City early, waiting for the arrangement of Shang Shigong. Because Shang Shigong specially gave them rice noodles, cloth and snacks last time, these villagers are no longer as confused as last time, but have great confidence in Shang Shigong.

It's just that no matter how confident they are, until the dust settles, they are still very worried in their hearts.

Shang Shigong didn't let them wait too long, and directly said his proposal: "I'm going to arrange for you to go to some granges, but in this way, you don't have your own land, so you can only become tenant farmers, are you willing?" ”

The people from Wushan Village immediately looked at each other.

Although they had a hard time in Wushan Village, they had their own land, but the meaning of Shang Shigong wanted them to become tenant farmers, how could they be willing? However, they are not greedy people, they all know that Wushan Village is already in such a situation, even if they have land, the food produced every year is not enough for the family to eat, and they can only go hungry.

And even if Shang Shigong is the prefect, do you still want to give them land for nothing? There is no such reason anywhere.

Shang Shigong saw them hesitating, and knew that they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to choose, so he waited patiently and did not interrupt.

After a while, thirty people finally came up with an idea, and then knelt down in front of Shang Shigong in unison, and said in unison: "I'll wait for the arrangement of the adults!" ”

That means they're okay with it.

Shang Shigong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he and Xiu'er were both kind, if these people were unwilling to appreciate it, then he could only choose another way.

Fortunately, these 30 people are very knowledgeable about current affairs and know how to choose.

Shang Shigong was very satisfied, and his face couldn't help but smile: "Since that's the case, I'll tell you again." The owner of the grange told me that you should build the house yourself, and she would provide the materials. You can live in this house for as long as you want, and if you don't move out in the future, it's your own. After you move in, each household will get a piece of land, and you don't need to do anything else, just plant the land according to the requirements, and the fruit of the land will belong to you. ”

The faces of the men changed slightly, the other party will provide the materials for building the house, and as long as the house has been lived, it will belong to them, which is very good. It's just that the production is only one percent, isn't it too little?

They hesitated again, and subconsciously looked at Shang Shigong.

Shang Shigong saw their thoughts, so he said: "Yicheng sounds like a little less, but the owner of the grange will distribute cloth, grain and other things according to the head of the person every month, except for farming. You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

And when he said this, he said no more, if these people were unwilling. He doesn't force it. Shang Jinxiu could have gone to the tooth shop to buy middle-aged laborers, and those slaves were more comfortable with them than tenant farmers. It's not like Shang Jinxiu hasn't done this kind of thing. Once the tenant farmer working in the Grange has another idea and betrays the secrets of the Grange, he will be kicked out of the Grange. The vacant places were filled by the strong labor bought by the dental dealers.

Anyone who works in the Grange has a lot of things for each family every month, and of course, it is not exactly according to the head, and there are other requirements. If it is a parent, wife and children, these are counted in it, but concubines and concubines. Or other relatives don't have this qualification.

It's not that you can't take concubines or take in relatives, it's just that the tenant farmers have to bear this share, and Shang Jinxiu is not responsible for raising them.

As long as you don't go out of line, these things are enough for the family to be fed, clothed and warm. If the land is planted well, then the yield of one percent is also a lot, and with this one percent of production, their lives can be better.

But in the end, everyone has their own aspirations, and how to choose depends on these people.

After hearing this, the faces of the thirty people changed again. It was the first time they had heard of such a rule, and they were able to divide things according to the head every month. But where in the world can there be such a good thing? Could it be that the other party wants to treat their family as slaves?

Thinking of this possibility, they looked at Shang Shigong's gaze a little more vigilantly. It's not that they don't want to believe in businessmen's skills, it's just that they involve their families. It just makes them have to think more. If they agree to come down in a daze, and as a result, their families have become slaves, what face do they have to go back to see their families?

Shang Shigong saw their concerns. Then he said, "Unless you voluntarily sell yourself, who can force you to become slaves?" Think about it. If you do, someone will take you to the Grange later. ”

Another wave of hesitation. Then nine people took the lead and said they were willing. They were among the poorest people in Wushan Village, and if Shang Shigong hadn't given them rice and noodles three days ago, their families would have starved to death.

So since they don't need to be enslaved, they just don't have any land, and they become tenant farmers, as long as they can keep their families alive, what else do they have to hesitate about? Can life be more bitter than before?

After these nine people stood up, the remaining twenty-one people also stood up one after another, and in the end, everyone agreed. Life in their family is also very difficult, but it is slightly better than the previous nine. Even so, the family is also suffering from hunger.

Now that the words of the merchant have been made clear, they also know that it is impossible for the merchant to give them land and property, even if the annual output can only get 10%? Isn't it still divided according to the head of the person every month?

It's a big deal that they work harder, the better the harvest, and the more they can get.

When they were in Wushan Village, didn't they also suffer like this?

The thirty men had made a decision, and Shang Shigong confirmed it again, and when he found that they had indeed made up their minds, he ordered someone to take them to the Grange. Shang Jinxiu's grange has been bought, with 300 acres, all of which are high-quality fields, occupying a large part of the land.

However, such a number is nothing compared to those big families in Qingzhou City. However, as long as there is a 'first-class fresh' place, Shang Jinxiu has bought land and built a grange, and the total number is not small.

It's not that she can't buy more land, it's just that she is Shang Shigong's daughter after all, so naturally she can't be too eye-catching, otherwise what would have been a normal thing is likely to become an excuse for villains to attack Shang Shigong.

said that when she bought this property, the other party gave her a very low price, which was completely cheap, and it looked like she was saving face. Shang Jinxiu knew that once this matter was completed, the merit of the merchant would have to be realized. So she still gave the market price, and did not take advantage of the other party, and wrote clearly in black and white, not afraid that the other party would bite back at that time.

Because they were all high-quality fields, when the thirty villagers arrived at the grange, their eyes suddenly turned green when they looked at the vibrant scene on the grange.

Such a good land, they had never planted it before! (To be continued......)
