Not only can you get enough food, but with a little more diligence, you can also use extra labor to get more wages, improve your own food, or make the family have more food and clothing.

There are so many benefits to renting land to the Xue family, there are really few who don't want to rent, and even if there are a few diehards, in the end, they can't withstand the siege of other villagers and Li Zheng's bitter heart.

The reason for the siege of the villagers is also simple, because as long as one or two families are unwilling to rent the land to the Xue family, then there will be a shortage of so many pieces of land, and this field will not be able to be encircled.

For such a piece of land in the east and a piece of land in the west, the Xue family must be reluctant to accept it.

As a result, most of the villagers will lose the opportunity to rent land because of these few people, and they will not be willing to do so.

In the end, no matter what method is used, these small number of people will be convinced, and those who can't be persuaded will simply exchange fields with other people.

Growing sweet potatoes requires a gentle field, and the most suitable one is a terraced field.

Compared with flat land, the reclamation requirements of this terrace are also quite many, such as the height of the field should be the same, otherwise this one is high, that one is low, the two sides are asymmetrical or cannot be connected, and subsequent planting will be quite troublesome.

In this way, it is necessary to keep running in and discussing, and there are many large and small affairs, and every day you can see many Li Zheng entering and leaving the Xue family, discussing with them about the field.

Let's talk about the county master's office.

This time it involves 100,000 acres of mountainous land, and 100,000 acres of land is an extremely large amount even for the county lord, and it is naturally a great political achievement, after all, it is an income of 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver.

Xu understands that this matter is a big matter, and it is not the time for him to play tricks, otherwise he will annoy the Xue family, make people unwilling to buy it, or if there are other changes, then his political achievements will be yellow.

Although he is not angry that the expelled people of the Xue family can be villains, he will not get along with his career, this time he doesn't need the master to blow the wind in his ears, so he happily gave instructions, and he didn't make any troubles, although he couldn't feel aggrieved in his heart.

It also allowed the Xue family to get the land a few days earlier than expected.

Those measuring personnel, perhaps because of the pavilion chief's explanation, also came very quickly.

After they came, Xue Kejing basically accompanied them throughout the whole process, and saw that they did not measure as accurately as in the past.

Instead, all the land belonging to the Xue family was directly drawn in around the mountains and forests, and then the boundaries were divided, and it only took a few days to measure the land completely.

It took only a few days to measure out 100,000 acres of mountainous land, which is naturally extremely fast.

Not only is the speed fast, but the boundaries drawn by this also made Xue Kejing who was present extremely satisfied, and he also had kind words for them, and he never stopped eating for them.

The measuring staff is so bold, obviously because the pavilion chief asked them to release the water.

In other words, although there are 100,000 mu written on this title deed, I am afraid that how many mu there are is only clear to the Xue family themselves after picking them up.

The title deeds are finally in hand, and the signing of the deeds with the families is a bigger project.

For such an important matter, everyone had to spend time inside, and it was not safe to leave it all to outsiders.

In order to deal with this matter, the family also had a rare suspension of classes.

It was not only a dozen people from their own family who participated, but also those students, who naturally went up the mountain to help deal with it.

100,000 acres of mountains and forests were officially reclaimed, which made the Xue family busy.

It was so busy until mid-June.

The hundreds of thousands of catties of sweet potato seeds stored before are about to be bred.

At this time, the reclamation of mountains and forests and the encirclement of fields are still in progress, after all, more than 100,000 acres of land, even if most of the town's people are mobilized, it is impossible to complete it in a short time.

All employees were provided with three meals a day, which had already been deducted from their pay.

The cooks are made from among the villagers, and the cookstoves are borrowed directly from the homes of people in nearby villages.

As for the dishes and chopsticks that everyone eats, they are all brought by the villagers, and the Xue family does not provide them.

When the contract was first signed, each family was required to report the number of people involved in the reclamation, as well as whether it was the elderly, the young, or the young, and the corresponding amount of money was deducted according to the amount of food for each person.

The bamboo slices distributed are also different according to the amount of food, and when the villagers come to receive the meal, they will receive different amounts of food according to different bamboo slices.

said that it was full of people, and the Xue family did not break their promises, and would never let them go hungry.

Initially, many villagers had some objections to the money deducted, especially those from poorer families.

It's not that they feel that the Xue family is cheating on them, but the Xue family gives them too much food, where are they usually willing to eat so much at each meal, so they naturally want to save some less for their own family.

But the Xue family disagreed, as long as the villagers reported the number, they would collect the corresponding money, if the villagers were unwilling to pay for food, then the contract would not need to be signed, and they did not need hungry and weak people to reclaim the mountains for their families.

Compared with the small difference in food money, the villagers are of course more afraid that they will not be able to work, and in the end, even if they are reluctant, they can only agree.

It's just that after eating the meal, they are grateful to the Xue family, without him, because the money they paid can be exchanged for such a large amount of affairs, which is definitely more cost-effective than cooking at home by themselves.

One by one, they all praised the Xue family for being a good family.

In fact, it is not that they are kind-hearted, but that they consider that when a person is full, the efficiency of work is completely different compared to that of being hungry.

The extra part for the villagers to eat is all doubled back to the efficiency of reclamation.

Of course, the Xue family will not be a great benevolent person, in order to avoid people receiving food many times, or young adults taking advantage of children instead of children, they have also made many restrictive measures.

In other words, the only thing in the Xue family that is no different from usual is Xue Langjing herself.

If it weren't for the unsuitable weather, I would go out hunting every day.

The batch of silver given by Zheng Linchu was basically not much left because the Xue family bought nearly 10,000 acres of mountainous land.

Xue Langjing was still struggling with the silver that he owed the pavilion chief for the four thousand acres of mountain land before.

People buy more than 100,000 acres of land, and rent tens of thousands of acres of land.

As for herself, in order to buy 4,000 acres of land, she had to work hard for several months.

This is the gap between the two.

After the seedlings were planted in June, the mountain land was still being reclaimed and built, and the Xue family had to start thinking about recruiting laborers to plant sweet potatoes in advance.

Although cuttings and seedlings are not too physically demanding, they also require people with quick hands and feet.

At least the elderly and children must not be able to do it, then they can only be young adults.

In this way, among the more than 60,000 people, there are still tens of thousands of people who echo the Xue family's request?

And the Xue family is in a hurry, and the town's labor is not enough, so they can only recruit to other towns.
