0359 Pitting people again
Chu Yan and the housekeeper were shocked.
Su Jinli didn't care what they thought in their hearts, after saying what she had to say, she went to the backyard with a smile.
After changing her clothes, she sat down in her study and began to draw.
Not long ago, she had inspected the 10,000 acres of land under her name, and now the outline of the entire field was in her mind.
So she spread out the paper, took the brush and began to draw.
First, the outline of the entire field was drawn.
Then there are the ridges.
After the drawing, the original appearance of a field appeared on the paper.
Next, it's time to think about how the field should be cultivated.
Peppers are definitely going to be grown, as well as soybeans.
This thing is suitable for fertilizing the land, and it can also be planted in the field with other things, especially suitable for the situation of insufficient fertilizer in ancient times.
In addition, if you want to build a farm, you must not only plant, but also breed.
Chickens, ducks and geese can not only catch insects, but also use excrement to make fertilizer, and the eggs laid down, as well as their meat, are all good food.
In addition, the hair on their bodies is also very useful.
Chicken feathers can be used to make feather dusters, goose feathers can be used to make quills, and duck down goose down, which can be used to fill down jackets and duvets.
In addition to chickens, ducks and geese, there are also pigs, cattle and sheep.
However, 10,000 acres of land is not much, pigs are okay, cattle and sheep are counted, and it is not a pasture, so there is no way to graze.
As long as she had enough pigs, she had enough fat to use to make soap and glycerin.
While designing the structure of the entire farm, Su Jinli was distracted by the things that were in charge.
Before, Chu Yan asked her why she didn't deal with those stewards now, and she put forward her own suggestion, but she didn't finish it.
With her current status, she can indeed get rid of those stewards directly.
But she wasn't going to do that.
First, she went out disguised as a man, and her external identity was that of Chu Yan's strategist, not the identity of Princess Qin.
If she directly abolished those stewards, the tenants below would only think that she was abusing her power for personal gain and eradicating dissidents, which was no different from those stewards.
Those tenants rely on the fruits of the land to feed their families, and they have been farming for many years and have their own set of inherent experience.
Even if she could force them to do what she asked, they would be extremely dissatisfied if they didn't say anything.
If she gets rid of those stewards again, she will have full authority over the entire farm.
The tenants, dissatisfied, not only would they not listen to her, but they would also transfer their hatred of the steward to her.
Once a person's preconceived notions are formed, it will be difficult to change them. Moreover, human beings are selfish by nature, and when they do something wrong, they will instinctively excuse themselves and blame others for their mistakes.
If she oppressed people with power from the beginning, even if it turned out that she was right, how many of those tenants who were already dissatisfied with her would be able to completely change their attitudes and be grateful to her?
Most of them will only complain that she didn't make things clear at the beginning, which led to misunderstandings and negative sabotage, which brought them losses.
She's not stupid, why would she do such a thankless job?
Now she is only in charge of the lower fields, and the upper and middle fields are still in charge of the stewards.
In the presence of so many tenant farmers, she promised compensation and rewards.
When the tenants of the good and medium fields heard this, how could they have no thoughts in their hearts?
So even if they are dissatisfied, they will only be dissatisfied with the stewards who pick the door and even oppress them.
However, Chu Yan generously agreed to the rewards she promised in front of them.
When those tenant farmers heard this, they would naturally find that Chu Yan was completely different from what they imagined.
The stewards squeezed the tenant farmers, and it must be Chu Yan's name. Now that the tenant farmers found out that Chu Yan was not what they thought he was, they would naturally be suspicious of the stewards.
In the future, when the crops of the lower fields grow better and better, how can the tenants of the upper and middle fields still be able to sit still?
When the time came, it was only necessary to arrange for someone to spread the news, saying that she was supposed to be in charge of the entire Zhuangtian, but those stewards refused to stop her, and only let her be in charge of the inferior fields.
When the tenant farmers found out, they naturally became more and more dissatisfied with the stewards.
When the time comes, the stewards will be replaced, and the tenant farmers will know that she and Chu Yan have made decisions for them, so they will naturally be convinced, obediently obey her request, and will be full of energy.
It only takes some time to get these tenant farmers to obey, so why wouldn't she?
Anyway, the people who oppressed them were those who were in charge, so why did she take the extra step to pull the hatred on herself?
Thinking of this, Su Jinli hooked the corners of her mouth mockingly, but the pictures on the paper gradually became richer.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and Chu Yan walked in from the outside.
"What are you doing?" As he spoke, he walked over, and came to Su Jinli's side out of nowhere, looking down at the drawing paper spread out on the table, "Huh? It's ......"
Chu Yan looked at the outline on the painting and couldn't help asking, "What you painted is the field you bought?" You actually painted the crops on it. What are they? Are you drawing pigs? ”
Su Jinli glanced at him helplessly: "The prince is very idle? ”
Chu Yan pretended not to hear and continued to ask, "This is your plan?" It's pig raising again, it's chickens, ducks and geese again, can you be busy? And what are these red ones? ”
Su Jinli didn't bother to answer this, so she deliberately asked, "The gossip newspaper mentioned last night, how prepared is the prince?" ”
Chu Yan was silent for a moment before he said four words: "Preparing." ”
In fact, after he arranged things in the morning, he didn't care much about it.
This kind of thing, where is the need for him to keep an eye on it?
So it's not clear where we're going.
As soon as Su Jinli heard these four words, he guessed that he was not very clear, so he said: "I suddenly thought that if there is only one article in a newspaper, it will be too monotonous.
Therefore, it is better for the prince to ask someone to write another article and publish it together with the previous one, saying that a person familiar with the matter revealed that the ploughing cattle on the prince's farm suddenly fell ill and could not plow the field. The steward was worried that the spring ploughing would be delayed, so he decided to use people to cultivate the land, regardless of the life or death of the tenant farmers. ”
Chu Yan was stunned when he heard this: "Su Bao'er, what kind of ghost idea did you think of?" ”
Su Jinli glanced at him coldly: "The prince thinks I'm a ghost idea?" ”
Chu Yan shook his head and hurriedly remedied: "This king likes your ghost idea. Who do you want to pit this time? ”
Su Jinli laughed at this time: "The prince thinks that once this gossip newspaper is sold, what will happen to those officials when they see it?" ”
When Chu Yan heard this, he understood almost instantly: "This king understands, so let people write articles and sell this gossip newspaper as soon as possible!" ”
