Xiashan Village is a relocated village, and in order to control the river, a group of people were relocated at the beginning, and then they were resettled here.

There were troublemakers before, but there are none.

People in different places have different rules, but those who don't abide by the rules here go to see the witch gods they worship.

It used to be a mountain people, but now it is a good people.

It's Ha Mo Yo, doing farm work.

Every family does not ban iron tools, but basically they all farm, and only a few people can do hunting.

It's not that Orion is a big man, it's that the hunting is unstable.

It's almost the same as a deputy position, but if you are a main position, you will starve the family to death.

The imperial court has never minded those who resist, but it is more troublesome for those who disobey the yang and the yin.

The nearby land was not good land, the soil quality was poor, and the people who came down from the mountains did not understand the things of farming, so after the poor and happy could not survive, they began to learn to plant fruit trees.

Wang Lanling and Zhou Wende went to the village chief's house together, found the village chief who was feeding the sheep, and after inquiring about the land here, they found that the land here was not good and was not suitable as a fief.

Zhou Wende also came, he was in charge of the affairs of the Civil Code Division, including statistics on farmland and farmers, and many of the data can be said without too much thought.

After Wang Lanling understood that it was indeed not good here, Zhou Wende said: "Lord Wang, there are not many good places around here, and the affairs of this land can be left to others to take care of, there is no need to get too close, I know that there are several fertile fields in nearby villages and towns, and the wheat harvest in previous years was particularly good." ”

Many public fields are planted by people, and after being rewarded as fiefdoms, the things above are generally taken with them, including the farmers who farmed the land, and they are also subleased below.

Wang Lanling was not short of food, and when he heard it, he said: "I think this place is also good, peach trees, plum trees, date trees, grape vines and the like, it is also good." ”

After all, people who are not in this era always regard fruit as something more valuable than food, which is very different from the perception of people here.

In the absence of transportation and consumption needs, the situation of fruit growers is not good, let alone such a large orchard.

Jujube trees can also be made into dried dates, and grapes can also be dried, but there is no way to preserve the rest, and even a plastic bottle here is a high-end product, not to mention a fresh-keeping bag.

Wang Lanling's petty bourgeois sentiment is somewhat in conflict with the barren county town that is now poor and white, and it is different from the views of Zhou Wende and others in terms of concept.

Zhou Wende persuaded: "Only a few fruit trees are enough, the land here in Xiashan Village is barren, and it is really not a good choice." ”

Everyone has a good relationship, so I persuaded a few more words.

Zhou Wende also understood that Wang Lanling was strong in terms of being an official, and he was still a city kid in ordinary things, and he didn't understand anything.

Wang Lanling thinks it's very good here, there is such a large orchard, it's very good.

"It's a little barren, but it doesn't have much to do with fruit trees, so you can eat fresh fruit and enjoy the flowers in spring."

A hundred acres of land is money!

Wang Lanling would feel distressed because of the thirty yuan shampoo, but his mind didn't turn for a while, and he didn't realize the difference between a hundred acres of fertile land and a barren field!

Many farmers would rather spend money to rent fertile land than to grow on the free wasteland.

Although he didn't understand, Zhao Wenrou didn't understand either, but this time there were people next to him who understood.

Xu Baifeng said with a smile: "Brother Ling wants to eat fruits, buy a few acres of land here, what kind of vineyards, peach orchards, pear orchards, and jujube orchards, as long as you give ten yuan and eight yuan, what do you want?" Why waste a good fief in this place? ”

Wang Lanling thought about it, the price here is very stable, and a one-year-old boar can be exchanged for one acre of fertile land.

One acre of fertile land is also equal to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, the kind that is beautiful, healthy and able to work.

With modern algorithms, it must be cheaper.

But it's different here.

The little girl can walk and run until she is two or three years old, and she can feed her with a little food.

People certainly don't eat as much as pigs, and it's easier to live than pigs.

There are only two or three piglets in a litter, and six of the ten children here are over ten years old, and the rest either fell from a tree and died, or drowned in the river.

It is a well-established fact that humans are more durable than livestock.

Working from the age of three or four, until the age of fifteen or sixteen, and then marrying and sending out for an acre of fertile land, is definitely more cost-effective than raising pigs.

The buying and selling of human beings is not prohibited, but it has not grown here, and there is no shortage of eunuchs here, so this industry has not developed.

In recent years, it has been able to develop and develop, mainly due to the population relations brought back from overseas, and there is no splash in this area at all.

Compared with buying maids, large families still prefer the wage system.

Ethics and morality are also on the one hand, many maids are old and homeless, and they will give a little money out at this time, so it is not as convenient as hiring.

Compared with the maid who was sold by his parents, in fact, more people still like to use the kind of slave who has a family and a father and mother, and it is best to raise it from childhood to adulthood.

For example, Wangjiabao is basically his own relatives or descendants of slaves who have been with him for many years.

With that money, isn't it good to buy land? Why buy a maid?

It's not easy to sell your daughter, so it's still "marrying" your daughter here.

But "marrying" is not easy to marry, daughters can't "marry", but they will be counted, and those with a slightly thinner skin will mean the same thing, and they won't open their mouths.

In places where the population is not mobile, it is actually a very natural thing to get married, and basically when you reach the right age, you will soon get married.

A one-year-old black pig can be exchanged for an acre of fertile land.

An acre of fertile land can be exchanged for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman.

The normal cost of buying a concubine is a three-month salary.

Tian Yuanfang's salary is one hundred and ten yuan, and in previous years, it was calculated as one hundred yuan, so it was calculated according to ten yuan a month.

Thirty?

Oh, by the way, it's a good field!

The fertile land is only thirty, and this wasteland ......

Wang Lanling frowned, he felt that there was something wrong with his algorithm, it was impossible that the salary of these officials was only four acres of land a year?

Alas? It's not right, you can earn four acres of fertile land in a year, and if you are a small official for twenty or thirty years, you can leave a hundred acres of fertile land for your children and grandchildren and become a landlord! ! !

Thinking about it like this, I suddenly feel that the salary is still not low.

"How much does this acre of vineyard cost?" Wang Lanling still had some money to spare, so he asked about the orchard.

For Wang Lanling, the matter of the fief is a little unreal, too illusory, or the things he bought are more realistic.

The village chief said, "It's not expensive! Not expensive! You don't need eight dollars, you can do it for seven dollars and five! ”

Wang Lanling suddenly felt that it was too expensive to buy land, "Forget it, let's go and see the fertile fields that Lord Zhou said." ”

The village chief saw that Wang Lanling was no longer interested here, and hurriedly said, "Great official! Great official! We still have two and a half acres of peach orchards in our clan, and if you want it, I can sell it to you for ten yuan. ”

When Wang Lanling heard this, he stopped and said, "Why is it so cheap?" Isn't it unfruitful? ”

The village chief hurriedly said: "Absolute result, I can't eat all the peaches every year!" ”

Wang Lanling said puzzledly: "Then why is it so cheap?" ”

The village chief said helplessly and anxiously: "Because of lack of money, this peach can't be exchanged for money, it's a pity to cut it, and there is really nothing valuable at home, and the field can't be sold." ”

"Then why don't you sell your daughter? I think your daughter is good. "This is what Zhou Wende, Lord Zhou said.

Wang Lanling looked at Zhou Wende and said suspiciously: "Lord Zhou, does this mean something?" ”

Zhou Wende smiled awkwardly and said, "Speak fast, talk fast, old man, I just saw that your daughter is not bad, and it just so happens that my son is also missing a concubine, what do you think?" ”

In fact, Lao Zhou wanted it himself, but when Wang Lanling asked him like that, he couldn't be cheeky and said that he wanted it, so he used his seventeen-year-old son as an excuse.

Zhou Wende is more than thirty-five years old, which is still very young.

Hearing that it was the housekeeper's son who wanted to take a concubine, the old village chief happily agreed, and finally sold the orchard and "married" his daughter, in exchange for one and a half acres of fertile land, plus a gift of two yuan.

Recently, the market has risen, and it seems that the price will be calculated again.

Wang Lanling bought two acres of orchards by the river, because the land here is not convenient to buy and sell, so he signed an IOU, if the old village chief can not return Wang Lanling within three months, this land is Wang Lanling's.

There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Wang Lanling always felt that having his own orchard was different from buying fruit when he wanted to eat it, so he bought his pear orchard across the river.
