About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Yan and his entourage entered the village, but it happened that Shi Changsheng was striding with a middle-aged man who was about forty-four or five years old.

At present, there are 52 villagers with 550 acres of fertile land, all of which are used to plant wheat, in addition to more than 100 acres of mountainous land, which are used to plant fruit trees, and there are two kinds of apples and pears.

Under normal circumstances, the yield of wheat per mu harvested in summer is one stone and two buckets, and the yield of millet or corn per mu in autumn is about one stone.

In addition, this Zhuangzi had to provide the main family with 50 live pigs and 50 live sheep, 300 chickens, ducks and geese, and 1,000 catties of apples and pears each to the main family.

These are regularly sent to the Lu government in the form of physical objects.

"That's it this year, starting next year, I will send someone to contact you, this Zhuangzi is now under my name, how to operate next year, I will send someone to inform you." Yan Yan said.

After listening to Zhuangtou's account, she converted it, the ruler of this dynasty is smaller than that of later generations, one foot is equivalent to nine inches of later generations, and the corresponding acre of land is equivalent to 0.8 acres of later generations, and a stone of wheat, which is about 100 catties of later generations, is converted into the yield of later generations, and one mu of wheat is only about 150 catties, which is too low, right?

You know, this is still the best field.

And what kind of millet and corn, the yield is actually lower than that of wheat, it is better to simply grow rice.

In addition, I just passed by the fruit grove, and there was nothing but weeds in it, which was too wasteful, and could be used to raise sheep or chickens.

Yan Yan was about to inquire again if there was a suitable person to sell in the village, when he suddenly saw a ragged seven or eight-year-old girl walking in front of them with a bundle of firewood on her back with bare feet, and Yan Yan couldn't help but stop her.

"Little girl, where are your adults?"

"You, you are, you're the kind sister?" The other party recognized Yan Yan first, and knelt in front of Yan Yan excitedly, whining something in his mouth, "Now my mother is saved" and other words.

Seeing this, Yan Yan helped the other party up, carefully identified it, and also recognized that this little girl was the daughter of the mother and daughter she had sponsored when she first arrived at Qinglian Nunnery that day.

"Your father's illness is still not cured?" Yan Yan asked.

The little girl lowered her head and cried, and the head of the village on the side had to answer when she saw this: "Her father is gone, and now her mother is sick again, this child is also pitiful, and he has to take on a family at a young age." ”

"Cui Zhuangtou, everyone is in a village, not to mention that they are all from the same ancestor, but they don't look up and look down, you can't help her much in the money, I don't ask you, but at least the firewood villagers can help make it up this winter, right? That's how you do it? I wonder if I'll have to think about changing to a more humane head next year. Yan Yan said with a calm face.

"Back to the master, this, this, the little one knows that he is wrong." Cui Zhuangtou wanted to defend himself at first, but when he saw that Yan Yan and Lu You beside him had black faces, he had to admit his mistake in a hurry.

Seeing this, Qingyun on the side took the firewood on the little girl's back and let the little girl take it to her house.

"How many people in the village are as difficult as they are?" Yan Yan asked.

Although she wants to buy people, she also has to buy healthy people.

Cui Zhuangtou didn't know what it meant, he glanced at Yan Yan timidly, but he also reported a number, Yan Yan thought about it for a while, and ordered Zhuangtou to take a few of them into the village, she wanted to take those few female households who did not have strong labor to Mingyuan to help do some cleaning work, so as to reduce the burden on the village.

On this trip, Yan Yan set five mothers-in-law, all of whom were forty years old, and six little girls from seven or eight years old to ten years old.

As for the little girl named Mai Qing that she once funded, Yan Yan ordered Qingyu to go to the town to invite a Langzhong for her, and at the same time bought her some food from the town to come back, and the rest could only be temporarily explained to Zhuangtou.

In the next three days, Yan Yan took Qingbi and the nurse to turn around the remaining Zhuangzi, and then picked about 20 boys and eleven or twelve-year-old girls, in addition to more than 20 mothers-in-law who did rough work, and sent them to Mingyuan and the two shops respectively.

After finishing this important event, it was November 15, and it was time for Yan Yan to enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother.

Early this morning, Yan Yan asked An to report back, Qingbi had already brought the boilers from the coppersmith's shop, and Qinghe Qingglaze was circling around the two boilers.

Yan Yan also leaned over and took a closer look, the workmanship was still good, basically meeting her requirements, but I don't know how effective it is.

So, she ordered someone to fetch a basket of charcoal, washed the copper pot, and planned to test it, but she happened to be a little hungry.

It's not bad, because it is a high-grade smokeless charcoal, the heat energy is relatively high, and the boiling water poured into the pot bubbles quickly, and there is no discomfort of smoky fire when sitting next to him, Yan Yan made a plate of sauce by himself, and pulled Lu You to sit down.

"So this is hot pot? It's hard to figure out how the master came up with it. Qing Glaze exclaimed while giving Yan Yan shabu-shabu.

Yan Yan was just about to speak, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu You, who was looking at her inquiringly, and hurriedly changed her words: "Actually, I was also inspired by the hand stove we use every day, and I thought that it would be good to use something that could be used as both a stove and a pot, which I didn't think about for a few days." Also, this way of eating has been recorded in the book, but I have made some improvements. ”

Yan Yan did see that there was a record about hot pot in the book, but unfortunately it was not this life, it was the previous life, and he had no impression of what the book was.

Fortunately, Lu You didn't ask her anything, on the contrary, he clumsily sandwiched several dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms for Yan Yan, he was careful, and he had long noticed that Yan Yan liked to eat these two things.

"Are you going into the palace with me or at home?" Yan Yan asked.

In fact, she was not completely sure that she could bring him into the palace, but the two of them just did something, Lu You has been sticking to her very much in the past few days, except for going to the room to ask for peace, the two of them are almost in and out together, so Yan Yan can't bear to leave him.

"At home, read a book." Lu You also knew that there were big rules in the palace, and it wasn't something he could enter if he wanted to.

"Okay, I'm going to test you when I come back." Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Reward?" Lu You took Yan Yan's hand.

Yan Yan's face turned red when he heard this, and he took a sip, "Don't mess around." ”

"Don't mess around. I like you. ”

These words made Yan Yan blush, and Qingmiao hurriedly laughed when they heard it.
