"Grandpa the village chief, don't we have a lot of wasteland? Those who are particularly bad don't want silver, can't they go and open a little? Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"Yes, you can open it, but what do you rely on, not everyone has a cow, and you can't afford to pay for it. After opening it, I couldn't make money, and in the end, after many years of hard work, the land still became a big landlord's family," Luo Jinrong sighed.

"Instead of cultivating the land yourself, it is better to rent and plant other people's fertile land, and many families in our village are tenant landlords' land."

A woman with high cheekbones is also a little sentimental, because her family is a tenant.

"Didn't you say that land annexation is not allowed?"

"It's not allowed on the surface, but if you owe money and can't afford to pay off the land, no one cares, right?" Luo Jinrong said.

The mood of a carload of people is not good.

What they didn't say was that there was still war, and sometimes the Tartars would come over, and they would cross the border, leaving behind some ownerless land.

When it was time for the people to flee for their lives, many chose to become tenants. It is better to rent other people's fertile land than to open up the land yourself. Especially in the future, I don't know who the land belongs to?

Luo Xiaoqiao sighed a little, no wonder no one wanted such a large piece of wasteland in Luojia Village.

For land annexation, she has no power and power, and she really can't do anything.

Even King Jing. In fact, he has done a good job, giving a lot of preferential policies, and even distributing some farm tools.

But the north is not suitable for crops, and no matter how much land there is, it can only make ends meet.

Besides, as long as the wealthy want to do it, it can't be stopped.

There are so many poor people, give them a little usury, and it is possible to roll over the interest and roll the land away.

Even if there is no usury, the taxes that must be levied every year are not a small amount for these ordinary people.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and when there is not enough to eat, what else to talk about? Don't you see those elderly peasants, all full of misery?

Most people can only take care of the present. Those who are at least will take the land that was previously allotted to them and exchange it for silver in exchange for their future life.

Encounter natural and man-made disasters again......

No way!

Luo Xiaoqiao thought.

She doesn't care about anything else. But now that you have made up your mind to put down roots here, you can't live a precarious life anymore.

The stability of the border and the governance of society depend on King Jing, and the high yield of the land is done by herself.

Luo Xiaoqiao was even more determined to mechanize farming and improve the seeds.

But everything can only be carried out under the premise of ensuring safety.

Therefore, at least this winter, we have to give King Jing more chips to defend the city and win.

This is not just his Northland, but the Northland of all of them.

Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it, so he said hello to the village chief: "Grandpa the village chief, I still have some trouble, please stop for a while, I will go back by myself in a while."

Luo Jinrong is not afraid that she will be in danger, and Ming Yi and Ming Er will follow. Besides, she can still go to Feng Ershao here in Xingcheng.

The village chief stopped the ox cart very simply: "Okay, I'll go back and tell your grandfather, when will you return?" ”

"Probably before the evening," Luo Xiaoqiao replied.

"Girl, where are you going?" Mingyi asked.

"Is Er Shao in the house?" , Luo Xiaoqiao felt that she was not familiar with King Jing, so she rushed to the door, afraid that the other party would not see her.

"Er Shao has been very busy lately, I'm not sure if I'm there, why don't you try it?" Mingyi was afraid that Luo Xiaoqiao would be disappointed, so he suggested.

"Let's go", Luo Xiaoqiao is very simple, he is not here today, he will be there one day, go and see it first.

When the little guy guarding the door of the mansion saw Luo Xiaoqiao, his eyes narrowed with a smile, every time he saw this little girl, the second young master would be in a very good mood, and even his life with them would be much better.

"The girl came just in time, the second young master happened to be here, please hurry up, please", one guy went in to report, and the other guy led the way diligently.

Liu Wan'er happened to pass by with the girl, seeing this, she wrinkled her handkerchief, walked away with a black face, and explained a few words to a little maid before leaving: "Keep an eye on her for me, see what she is doing?" ”。

This is the third time Luo Xiaoqiao has come to Fengfu, and it is still like that here, with a large family, which is prohibitive.

When Feng Chenhao heard the reply of his subordinates, he was discussing with the old man: "Who do you say is coming?" ”

The little girl replied: "It's Luo Xiaoqiao girl from Luojiazhuang"

Old Man Feng's eyes flashed, and he looked at some young people who were not in a state: "Please let her in"

Feng Chenhao was a little drumming in his heart, this girl has always been unprofitable and can't afford to go early, and she can't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

The subordinates directly led Luo Xiaoqiao to Zhong Yunju, and the old man was also there.

"I've seen the old man, I've seen the second young master", Luo Xiaoqiao politely gave a salute.

Feng Bosong raised his head and glanced at Luo Xiaoqiao: "Little girl, why are you here?" ”

Luo Xiaoqiao didn't expect him to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "Old man, the folk girl wants to talk to King Jing about something, and I want to ask the second young master to introduce one or two." ”

"Oh? I don't know if Ben Hou may hear it? Feng Bosong frowned.

The little girl did bring them a lot of benefits, and she didn't do anything too out of the ordinary.

But with their current situation, they can use it, but they are not allowed to trust a person easily, and Luo Xiaoqiao's request is a bit interesting.

"It's such an old man, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, according to the situation in previous years, I'm afraid that the Tartars are about to move, and the people have a plan to dedicate themselves to the prince, but they are afraid that their own people will speak lightly, so ~"

Luo Xiaoqiao didn't continue, Feng Bosong's eyes narrowed, he already knew the design of the bow and crossbow provided by Luo Xiaoqiao, which was very ingenious.

The little girl has been hiding her secrets, how did she open up today?

"You're looking for this king?" King Jing and Wei Yuanzhi stepped in from outside the door, just hearing this.

As soon as Luo Xiaoqiao raised his head, he crashed into a deep line of sight, like ice, which made people feel chills.

Oh, everyone is here! Luo Xiaoqiao secretly slandered himself.

Mu Jingyi looked at her running away, a little uncomfortable, and her eyebrows wrinkled: "Little Qiao girl? ”

"Cousin, quickly take away your momentum, just a little girl, don't scare people", Feng Chenhao couldn't help but shudder in the face of such Mu Jingyi.

Luo Xiaoqiao raised her head, but she was not nervous, she had seen a lot of superiors, and she felt that there was no murderous aura.

She didn't respond immediately, but looked around for a moment.

"You guys go down first", Feng Bosong was an old fox, and seeing her appearance, he immediately commanded the little servants and maids.

"Yes, sir"

"Say it, there is no one else", Feng Bosong was the first to break the silence.

"It's such a prince, and the folk girl has come up with a new weapon, which may help the prince defend against the enemy." Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"What weapon?" Wei Yuanzhi's eyes lit up for a moment.

Those old guys had already adjusted a few bows and crossbows, and King Jing gave them one for each of them.

The bow and crossbow are so easy to use, even a literati who doesn't have much strength can easily shoot a bow and arrows, and the accuracy is still high. When he went out with a crossbow, even if the guards didn't follow, he didn't panic.

"Have you ever heard of gunpowder cannons?" Luo Xiaoqiao didn't know if gunpowder had appeared in this era, and was ready to test it first.

"Gunpowder cannons? Are the firecrackers made of gunpowder used by Taoist priests? Wei Yuanzhi asked, literally, it seemed like this.

Luo Xiaoqiao grinned and counted.

It seems that gunpowder exists, but the mines that appeared in the Song Dynasty have not yet appeared in this era.
