According to the Tang Dynasty materials that I have seen before, it is stipulated that each household must be planted with an apple tree, a pig, five chickens in the courtyard, and a fish pond must be dug up, and the fish fry will be caught from the lord's fish pond.

The male lords are all incorporated into the agricultural mutual aid group, although the name has a bit of a socialist meaning, but the specific operation is very different, they are for me alone, the leader of the group is served by the castle governor Wangcai, the usual task is to organize everyone to coordinate the time of labor for the lord, the common use and maintenance of the mill and the ploughing cattle, etc., these things are not intended to be occupied, let them discuss the use of their own, but can show the good quality of my care for the masses.

When I was not in the territory, this mutual aid group also took on the role of the arbitration court, although the lord is generally responsible for handling the litigation cases in the territory, but I don't have that much energy, listening to the two mud-legged people count each other down and pick up the feces of their own animals for themselves, and ask the lord to punish the other party severely, this kind of thing that is too far away from my knowledge is left to solve it by themselves.

The women of the realm were not idle, and formed groups of women workers in the form of men, and for the time being the wife of Wangcai was in charge, and the main work was to prepare and gather the orchard for the lord, to shear sheep, spin and weave, and so on, and to bear a part of the labor while the men were busy with other things.

The workers who had already entered my paper mill were exempt from servitude, and the production of their land was entirely self-sufficient, as a reward for the first crab they had with me, and as a reward for the formation of a new social class out of the peasant group, and for the inhabitants of my rule to be divided.

In such a desolate territory where God saw and wept, it was necessary to develop a large area of land and make use of the valuable and fertile land, so I decided to encourage the people to open up the land on their own.

The first favorable policy is that there is no tax on newly cultivated land, but in order to prevent them from blindly opening up, it is also stipulated that all reclaimed land should be handed over a certain percentage of output according to the size of the area in the first year.

The existing land of the people is still taxed, and the quality of the tax in kind is stipulated, so as to put an end to the phenomenon of sabotage in cultivating the taxed land without their care, and to put it bluntly, it is to ensure that there will be no crooked melons and cracked dates on their table, and the policy of benefiting the people finally pits the lord himself, and he can put the cart before the horse.

In the past, I was disgusted by the dirty and messy living environment in the Middle Ages, and swore to renovate, but I have not freed up my hands to govern, and now I have the time and energy to focus on rectifying the previous difficult problems, and also lay the groundwork for future governance.

The first work to be done was to build pig pens and chicken coops, and to gather all the cattle that were scurrying around the streets, so as to clean up the environment of the castle, cut off the source of the spread of the plague, and to facilitate the collection of manure, and the people were to raise their own livestock and poultry in a centralized manner according to my request.

I have called up some elderly people in the territory who have no children and no one to support them as manure collectors, and their main job every day is to collect manure in dung baskets, and at the same time be responsible for storing manure in the corral for fertilizing the fields.

In the current agricultural slack season, the agricultural team should arrange for people to mine and polish some slate stones by hand to prepare for the leveling and construction of the main roads in the territory and the reinforcement of the castle in the coming year.

In places where people gather, I also have to build some more public toilets to cultivate good living habits for them, so that when the weather gets warmer, the muddy road is full of feces and urine, which is unsightly and extremely unhygienic, and even I, a veteran otaku who has a record of not bathing for three months, can't stand it.

The plan, and I stretched out, watching the sun set in the west again, and the lord was about to rest at the end of a busy day in the Middle Ages.

A day full of sunshine and hope begins with a serving of the secret lord's black bean paste with little water in clear soup......

Although I insisted that even if I wanted to open up sources and reduce expenditure, I could not grieve my stomach, but Wangcai regretfully said that this was the result of giving me special care, and other people couldn't even drink black bean paste, so they could only make up the coarse bran rotten vegetables to feed their stomachs.

This year's tax revenue was collected in full at the end of September, but due to my reckless love and blind expansion of the army some time ago, the already small amount of financial income from this barren land has been faintly reduced.

I sighed with a small amount of dry goods, I didn't think that the feudal lord also had a time when he couldn't take out the silver, but fortunately, the responsible Wangcai had already stocked up the winter grain in the warehouse, and he could barely wait until the winter wheat was ripe next year.

"Wangcai, remember to find a few people to dig a cellar in the warehouse, and wait until after the freeze to dig some big ice cubes in the river and transport them back to keep, so that the perishable food reserves such as meat can be stored for a longer time, and it will save you from wasting so much hard-won salt to pickle, which is as hard as a stone, and I am afraid that my teeth will be broken."

As I spoke, I patiently licked every food scrap off the wooden spoon, and then pulled out the dagger at my waist to repair the uneven edges and corners of the wooden spoon.

"At the beginning of spring next year, I will be reminded to build a greenhouse for livestock, and now I will start to prepare some lime wood for construction, so that I don't have to slaughter so many animals in the cold weather in the future, and it is good to keep them for next year."

Wangcai nodded and took down my instructions, and by the way, he removed the plate that I had cleaned cleaner than his face. My current intestines have fully adapted to the diet of the Middle Ages without any oil and water, and most of the time I can still eat with relish, thinking that I had no money for a box of chestnut cakes and gnawed on white water for a week.

Today's itinerary is very simple, there is no secretary and no appointment, just follow the bull to learn fighting skills.

Although the buddies are also experts who have been in the battlefield for a long time and have slashed a few enemies, those are opportunistic and dishonorable, and the reputation of the despicable is not far and wide, and they are always pointed at at the meetings of the nobility.

As the old saying goes, we need to have a face and a bark, and I can't be a Viscount without a face, so it's necessary to learn some basic fighting skills, but of course, that doesn't change my laws of war.

I usually don't fight you alone if I can kill you in other ways, it's too exciting, and my little heart can't stand it.
