There are other dishes that are as delicious as ever, produced by Shen Yuerong, it must be a high-quality product, everyone is indeed tired of playing, eating one by one with a mouth full of oil, Gu Jinghuai is very enthusiastic and eats a few more rabbit skewers, Shen Yuerong is very happy.

Several people are chatting in the courtyard when they are full of food and drink, the weather is good today, neither hot nor cold, there are many stars in the night sky, and the sound of crickets and the rustling of bamboo forests rings in their ears.

"Jinghuai, if I open up wasteland on the mountain, will the government give me a subsidy?" Shen Yuerong asked as she chatted.

After all, clearing the wasteland is an encouraged behavior, but Shen Yuerong has never understood the policy.

Gu Jinghuai nodded: "Well, the cultivation of cash crops on wasteland will be registered, and one or two silver per mu will be rewarded in the first year, and the first five years will be tax-free, but this is all mountainous, except for the grass over there, which is quite steep, do you want to open up the wasteland here?" ”

Yiguo can be said to be a good country, there are a lot of policies to benefit the people, and agricultural land is the foundation for the survival of farmers.

There are many trees on the mountain, it takes time and money to clean up, it is slow, and the area of the development is also small, even if you give a reward of one or two silver and five years of tax exemption, it is simply not worth the loss.

Shen Yuerong was slightly disappointed when she heard that she only gave one or two pieces of silver for one acre, and she wanted to say that the saint was so good at picking the door, but she endured it and didn't say anything.

"Well, but it's not easy to open up this mountainous land, this reward is too little, I have to sum it up to be cost-effective."

Shen Yuerong thought about it in her heart, and her face was a little solemn.

To say that the best way to open up this kind of place is the terraced fields, but there are no excavators, no cranes, and it takes a lot of effort to clean up the trees and stones, and I don't know how much silver taels it takes to clean up.

Moreover, even if you buy servants to clean up, it is not easy to buy so many prime of life, and you can't give priority to women from poor families like before.

No, to put it mildly, there is still a place in Qingzhou where there are strong laborers, and there are a lot of strong laborers.

Shen Yuerong's eyes lit up, and she blinked: "Jinghuai, the prison in Qingzhou is much bigger than Jiahe County, can you let the strong laborers in the prison come out to work?" I don't do it in vain, I pay the government, of course, the price can't be compared with the market. ”

Gu Jinghuai's body couldn't help but move back a little after hearing this, this little girl actually hit the idea to the government prison, it was simply bold.

The others also gasped, this operation, they don't say they have seen it, they have never heard of it, it is estimated that Shen Yuerong will have this kind of thought.

Gu Jinghuai shook his head: "There are naturally a lot of prisoners in Qingzhou Prison, but most of the prisoners are wicked, I won't let them work here with you, besides, this matter is not so simple to operate, so many prisoners come out collectively, what if there is any accident?" ”

He would rather pay for Shen Yuerong to buy mountains and land and buy fertile land, rather than have these people around Shen Yuerong, he really can't rest assured.

Shen Yuerong persuaded and said: "They eat white rice in the prison and waste more national food, I pay the salary and take care of the food, they can not only eat more than in the prison, your government can also save food money and increase financial revenue, and I can also get labor below the market price, this is more than one stone, why don't you think about it again?" ”

It's not that Shen Yuerong hasn't been to the prison, the prison is designed to prevent them from escaping, the windows are very small, black, the air is full of musty, and the food is even worse.

From her point of view, if she can come out and let off steam, and she can also improve the food, even if it is worth exchanging labor.

Gu Jinghuai's refusal just now was mainly from the perspective of Shen Yuerong's husband, in fact, from the perspective of the Qingzhou prefect, Shen Yuerong's move was really good, and he was quite moved.

"Even if what you say makes sense, then you say that so many people come out, how many people will our government send to watch them? What if you don't look at it, what if you run away one or two? The cost of manpower may outweigh their food costs. ”

Shen Yuerong was right when she thought about it, they were prisoners, if they had the opportunity, they would naturally choose to escape, go incognito or sell themselves as slaves, maybe they would be able to sneak into a new life.

There is no fingerprint recognition here, and there is no face recognition, so it takes a lot of effort to catch a fugitive.

"I'll figure it out when I think about it."

Steward Huang heard that Shen Yuerong was also in trouble, but he breathed a sigh of relief beside him, he knew Gu Jinghuai too well, and knew that Gu Jinghuai was not happy to promote this matter from the bottom of his heart, but he just didn't want to make his wife unhappy.

His face returned to a smile: "Think slowly, I can't think of us, let's buy people, when I go back this time, young lady, won't your full hall incense semicolon be opened?" When the time comes, why can't they all add up to a hundred thousand yuan a month, plus other shops also make money, are you still afraid that there will be no labor at that time? ”

Gu Jinghuai nodded in agreement, although he agreed part of it from the prefect's point of view, but as Shen Yuerong's husband, he was indeed ten thousand unhappy.

Shen Yuerong smiled and said, "Uncle Housekeeper, are you giving me a military order?" Haha, if you can't make 100,000 yuan in a month, I'll look for you. ”

Anyway, there is no hurry to open up the wasteland, Shen Yuerong should be joking.

Steward Huang felt that he had dug a pit and buried himself with his own hands, but he obviously helped persuade Shen Yuerong because he knew the meaning of his son-in-law.

He glanced at Gu Jinghuai for help, Gu Jinghuai deliberately glanced away and looked like it was none of my business, Steward Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and everyone laughed together, especially Shen Yuerong, who has made more money recently and is in a good mood, and he is more and more fond of playing tricks on people.

Following.

Shen Yuerong and Gu Jinghuai walked hand in hand on the mountain, and also held a small book to record the terrain on the mountain and the varieties of trees and flowers.

The two fluttered butterflies and picked flowers from time to time, and went to the grass skiing side to find Lin Yun and they played for a while, and only got into the carriage back home in the evening.

Shen Yuerong fell asleep almost as soon as she got into the car, and the sound of even breathing played in a loop in the carriage like a three-dimensional surround.

Gu Jinghuai hugged her dotingly, and had a very reminiscent of the life of the past two days, and couldn't help but remember that when she traveled before, it was not that she had never been in the countryside, but she really didn't have this kind of real sense of life.

The corners of Gu Jinghuai's mouth tugged at a smile, he understood, it's not a day, it's mainly a person, this person is Shen Yuerong, it's right everywhere this day, whether it's in the countryside or in the town.

And without Shen Yuerong, his heart is like a lonely ghost, he always feels that he has no home, and now, where there is Shen Yuerong, it is his home, the home that can make him feel warm.
