Chapter Forty-Eight: Buying Land

was ruthlessly rejected by Feng Xiaoyue, and Murong Lin didn't know where to vent his resentment, so he asked Zhang Fengyu out in the name of talking about official business.

Zhang Fengyu thought that he had found some solution, but who knew that in the teahouse for half an hour, most of them were Murong Lin complaining. Zhang Fengyu didn't know what to say when he heard it, and patted Murong Lin's back and persuaded: "Lord Shizi, the princess is not a fool, it is normal for her to be unhappy if you disturb her when she is doing things." ”

In fact, Murong Lin also knew the severity, but he couldn't pull down this face. Zhang Fengyu took a sip of tea, saw that Murong Lin was unhappy, and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, this matter is easy to solve, the prince sincerely apologizes, and the princess will forgive you." ”

"I'm a dignified seven-foot man, how can I whisper to a woman." Murong Lin stubbornly refused to agree. Zhang Fengyu also couldn't help him, "It's better to do this, my deceased princess will listen carefully to see what she does, and by the way, ask her if she is still angry with you." ”

"Just ask the first one, and the latter one won't bother." Murong Lin pretended to raise the teacup and cleared his throat. Zhang Fengyu glanced at him, and saluted helplessly: "Okay, the lower official obeys the order." ”

Zhang Fengyu left the teahouse and heard that Feng Xiaoyue was in the field, so he followed. The people are so stubborn that they don't know how to be flexible, guarding a few acres of thin fields, and refusing to sell them to Feng Xiaoyue. is also the Qi family's propaganda is too good, and there is really no one who is willing to let go.

Feng Xiaoyue was worried in the field, looking at a large piece of land in front of her, but not half a crop seedling had grown. Suddenly, Zhang Fengyu came over, and Feng Xiaoyue's eyes lit up a little.

"Xiaguan has seen the princess." Zhang Fengyu looked at Feng Xiaoyue's eyes when he looked at him, and somehow, he felt a little dangerous.

"Lord Zhang? I don't know if Lord Zhang is here, what's the matter? Feng Xiaoyue looked over with a light smile, and Zhang Fengyu, who was only looking at it, felt numb on his head.

"Xia Guan learned from the prince that the princess also bothered to work hard about this famine, so he came over to see if the princess needed help." Zhang Fengyu was far away from Feng Xiaoyue, wanting to avoid her eyes a little.

"I originally wanted to come out to buy land, but the people's prejudices were too deep, and things were not easy, but fortunately, Master Zhang came." Zhang Fengyu said that he would help, but Feng Xiaoyue was not polite to him.

Zhang Fengyu's premonition came true, moved his brows slightly, and saluted respectfully: "The princess, please speak." ”

"Master Zhang remembers that when he caught the murderer before, he promised me a wish." Feng Xiaoyue pointed to the land under her feet, "There is Master Lao Zhang to guarantee for me and assist me in buying this land." ”

"What is the use of the land that the princess wants?" Zhang Fengyu agreed easily, but he had to figure out the role, after all, these are the guarantees that some people rely on to survive, even if Zhang Fengyu believes in Feng Xiaoyue, it is not easy to take risks casually.

"I need the land, and the farmers, to work for me and solve the problem of food shortages for many years." Feng Xiaoyue told her all about it, Zhang Fengyu knew that the greenhouse she built before had an excellent harvest of corn, and now seeing that she was so sure, she couldn't help but be willing to believe her.

Zhang Fengyu has a very good reputation in the domain, and most of the people obey him. With Zhang Fengyu as a guarantor, the people were finally willing to listen to Feng Xiaoyue's explanation. Although Feng Xiaoyue bought back the land at a low price, she hired the original owner of the land to continue to cultivate. She made a contract early on that the cost of all the seeds and tools used for planting would be paid by Feng Xiaoyue, and that the amount of employment paid to the land sellers would be sufficient to prevent them from continuing to starve because of the bad harvest.

Originally, the people looked at Zhang Fengyu's face and wanted to sign the contract, but Feng Xiaoyue saw that they were all confused, so she knew that they didn't understand at all, so she forcibly explained everything clearly, so that they could sign the contract with confidence.

After that, Feng Xiaoyue bought five acres of land at a high price, and she asked people to dig up the land and eat it by locusts, leaving only verdant straw in the ground, all buried in the soil pit, and used to rot and make fertilizer.

After completing the duty of guarantee, Zhang Fengyu hurriedly told Murong Lin everything that had happened. Murong Lin returned to the Gentleman's Courtyard and happened to see Feng Xiaoyue moving the seeds that had just been raised.

"You are a woman, and you are delicate and expensive, so these rough jobs will be handed over to your subordinates to do, and our palace is not that we can't afford to support slaves." Murong Lin was afraid that he couldn't help but quarrel with Feng Xiaoyue again, so he simply started directly.

Feng Xiaoyue couldn't stop it, and Murong Lin's hand was wrapped around Feng Xiaoyue's hand. Both of them were stunned, Feng Xiaoyue was afraid that the freshly sprouted seeds in her hands would be scattered, so she and Murong Lin went over hand in hand until they moved the things to the small cart.

"Thank you." Feng Xiaoyue didn't care about Murong Lin's sudden accusation before, and thanked her sincerely, which made Murong Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

"How many more, let's move over together." Murong Lin felt that the anger between the two was not so heavy, but he was still embarrassed to admit his mistake.

"No, that's all." Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him, hesitated slightly, and finally decided to walk around him silently.

"Wait." Murong Lin hurriedly pulled her, Feng Xiaoyue turned her head strangely, Murong Lin was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "There are so many things, I'll go with you when I go to the greenhouse." ”

"The prince is coming, so I naturally have no reason to stop me." Feng Xiaoyue withdrew her hand, turned around and left. Murong Lin didn't know whether she was angry or not, so he didn't think about it, so he followed her into the carriage and continued to observe.

When the carriage stopped, Murong Lin entered the greenhouse again after many days, and there were many more seeds and seedlings in the greenhouse.

"These, what are they?" Murong Lin pointed to a large area of green seedlings and asked the uncle, who wiped his hands and didn't know what to say.

"We don't know, we have to wait until they grow up, maybe someone will know them." Feng Xiaoyue watched the little servants gently put down the seeds, and then looked at Murong Lin with a sigh.

"How many seeds do you buy, and you can still have ones that you don't even recognize." Murong Lin felt a little strange.

Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him, "There are the seeds of the Han King, the forest guards, and the old man who sells flowers, there are too many types, and it is indeed difficult to remember, not to mention that they themselves don't know." ”

"However, it takes a lot of experimentation to know which seed is most useful and the most viable." Feng Xiaoyue looked at the little seedlings and muttered, and suddenly looked up at Murong Lin.

"Let's go, there's still a place I'm going."

Regarding Feng Xiaoyue's words, Murong Lin did not agree, and immediately washed his hands. Feng Xiaoyue took Murong Lin to the land he had just bought, and the original owner of the land had been waiting there for a long time.

In the agreement between Feng Xiaoyue and them, there is such a clause that the crops planted on the land must be planned by Feng Xiaoyue herself. Those peasants all felt that Feng Xiaoyue could know how to farm like this, but Feng Xiaoyue's agreement with them would not make them hungry, so they were naturally willing to listen to Feng Xiaoyue's words.

Feng Xiaoyue got out of the carriage and asked Xiaoyun to take out the seeds. "This bag is potato seeds, this bag is peanut seeds, you take it and divide it, and several people take a bag together and plant the seeds separately."

When the farmers heard that there were peanut seeds, they all hesitated to open their mouths, and Feng Xiaoyue saw that they all seemed to have something to say, and she guessed a few points in her heart.

"If you can't grow peanuts, I can wait for the land to be turned over, and then I will come and teach you in person."

The peasants, you look at me and I look at you, and they all responded in unison: "No problem." ”

Murong Lin looked at this piece of land that Feng Xiaoyue had to buy, and looked at these yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, not knowing what to think.

Since Ge Xiling moved out of Murong Lin's courtyard last time, he has been unwilling, always thinking about how to get close to Murong Lin. But if you move in with a dead face, it will be too shameless.

Ge Xianling thought about it carefully, and asked Huan'er to buy a courtyard on the alley road in Murong Lin's courtyard, which was more transparent than Murong Lin's, and there were no old trees that looked gloomy.

Ge Xiling was looking at his new courtyard, and Huan'er hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Miss, I've inquired, Feng Xiaoyue has been working in the fields a lot these days, and the prince is also with her a lot."

"This slut, Miss Ben is not here, so she uses means to seduce her cousin." Ge Xianling scolded angrily, and Huan'er stood next to her with her head down, not daring to talk nonsense.

"No, you can't let her snatch her cousin away, you, follow me to my cousin." Huan'er was suddenly called, and her body shook in fright, and she hurriedly followed.

Ge Xiling inquired about Feng Xiaoyue's only way, and thought that Murong Lin would be with her, but who knew that Feng Xiaoyue was alone. Feng Xiaoyue turned around and went to the tea shed to rest for a while, Ge Xiling wanted to follow, but saw Murong Lin following behind Feng Xiaoyue.

Murong Lin changed into ordinary clothes, borrowed the corner of the wall as a cover, watched Feng Xiaoyue go to the tea shed to sit down, and while she was not paying attention, she also came out to sit on the diagonal stall to drink tea.

Ge Xiling saw all this clearly in the jewelry store in front of him, and when he saw Murong Lin following Feng Xiaoyue, he thought that Murong Lin was disgusted with Feng Xiaoyue, and immediately walked up to Feng Xiaoyue with pride.

"Yo, Miss Feng is the princess of the world, and she is still drinking tea in such a shabby place, she is really a natural cheap bone, and she can't cover it."

Xiaoyun listened angrily, but Feng Xiaoyue didn't care about her provocation. "I didn't expect to see Miss Ge for many days, your problem of not being able to speak has not changed, but fortunately, the people around here are still tolerant and will not care about you in general."

Murong Lin turned his back to them and sat not far away, Feng Xiaoyue's voice was not loud or small, just enough to be heard.

Feng Xiaoyue sat on the stool with her head up, Ge Xiling stood and looked down at her, but she vaguely felt that she was not imposing, and she didn't want to sit down, disgusted that the stool in the tea shed was not clean.

Ge Xiling finally planned to stand, she raised her chin slightly: "You should be like everyone like you, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and a sweet mouth and a sword, no matter how good you sound, someone will eventually be able to see you clearly." ”
