Chapter 42: The Ancient Peasant Girl 42
However, Su Chen did not relax his vigilance against Chen Zhen because she was Chen Lin's sister, after all, the Chen family did not have a few good ones except for the Li family. Who knows what kind of temperament this sister has, and she hasn't seen her for so long.
After the night lingered, Su Chen told Chen Lin about this matter, and Chen Lin was naturally not completely relieved, after all, just like Su Chen said, she and Chen Zhen hadn't seen each other for so long. I don't know what Chen Zhen's temperament is, and she also has some doubts about what she said.
She was also worried, so she raised a white-eyed wolf. It's like the kind of man who obviously helped her a lot because of her sisters, but her sisters secretly seduced her. This is what Chen Lin is most worried about and most disgusting.
"As long as you don't get involved with her behind my back, I won't care about the rest. Chen Lin said what she really said.
"What are you talking about, am I that kind of person?" Su Chen laughed angrily at her words, so his wife usually thinks of him like this.
"Of course I'm not saying you're such a person, I'm just telling the truth and saying my taboos. Chen Lin hurriedly explained.
After taking the father and son to their side, the couple was much more relieved and began to work together, Su Chen was mainly responsible for the development of people's livelihood and the military.
Although there is no harvest yet, but from the perspective of growth, the land is very fertile, this year should be a bumper harvest year, and the planting area can be expanded, after all, there is still a lot of wasteland here, and some policies have been issued to encourage the residents of each village to open up the wasteland for farming.
Fortunately, under Chen Lin's suggestion, the reclamation is still controlled, and the tall forests will not be moved, but only those places where shrubs and weeds grow to avoid excessive soil erosion.
As for the development of the military, it is because last winter, several villages in Hengshui County, which had been closed, were attacked by foreign invasions, killing and looting.
Su Chen knew that this place was close. Another country, that country is further north than where they are, with longer winters than they are, and simply cannot be cultivated. They usually rely on grazing and plundering the surrounding countries, but that country rarely comes to them, because this area is surrounded by mountains and forests, which is not suitable for them to live, but they don't know how to come here.
But they came a few more times this year, so Su Chen is integrating the team and preparing to clean up these people, otherwise I don't know how many people will die if this continues.
Chen Lin did not stay idle, after handing over the matter of the field to Su Chen, she concentrated on developing business, after all, the development of a region cannot only be agriculture, and commerce is also essential.
The first thing she investigated was the specialty of this place, and one of the specialties that is currently known, that is, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, but this thing can only be collected from the mountains at present, and cannot be cultivated and provided in large quantities, and cannot be used as a commercial specialty.
In addition to this, another thing that merchants came here to buy was furs. Probably because of the colder winters here, the fur of the animals grows long and warm in the winter.
In this era when there are no down jackets, thermal underwear. Although there were padded jackets, the nobles preferred to use fur to keep warm. All kinds of animal skins are very popular, and among them, Selangor's fur is one of the most high-end.
Although she is not in favor of hunting, after all, modern people are used to the law on the protection of wild animals. But if you don't hunt, you can breed it, and here it is the rabbit skin, which is longer and softer than the rabbits in other places. Rabbits have always been the kind of animals that are very easy to feed and have a lot of life, and they are the most suitable for breeding.
So, she asked people to build a special farm to raise rabbits, and then let people catch hares, because rabbits can burrow, and will dig roots to eat grass, therefore, rabbits are raised in high cages, she has watched modern financial programs, such as getting rich through these, know how to raise rabbits.
And rabbits are also relatively easy to raise, they will not be as difficult to domesticate as some other wild animals, they are easy to raise, and when the autumn harvest comes, there are already a lot of rabbits, Chen Lin has prepared some hay that can be used in winter.
Chen Zhen has been very peaceful these days, honestly staying in the courtyard arranged for her, drinking medicine every day to recuperate, just came to talk to her when Chen Lin was there, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but Chen Lin was not relieved by this.
However, during the autumn harvest, the yield per mu was counted, and the results were very happy, the harvest was not only similar to that in the south, but also averaged the yield per mu, including 500 catties per mu of rice, 450 catties of wheat, and 1,200 catties of corn.
The yield of corn was shocking when it came out, in fact, it has not been peeled and threshed yet, which is very weak, but it is surprising enough.
Although corn has been promoted a few years ago, it has not yet been promoted here, mainly in the south, because of this autumn harvest, Su Chen found the village chiefs of various villages to come over, and the village chiefs wanted to buy some corn seeds to plant back.
Su Chen asked people to find them with this intention, so that they could come to the county government to collect seeds before spring ploughing next year, and the seeds could be rented to them, as long as they were returned double after the autumn harvest.
The village chiefs were very happy when they heard this, and while inquiring about how this corn was grown, Zhu Lao, his sons and Chen Lin arranged for her students to explain how to plant corn to the village chiefs, and the village chiefs listened very carefully.
"The land here is really good for planting. Su Chen said to Chen Lin with emotion.
"Even the best soil needs to be fertilized, otherwise the fertility will only become less and less. Chen Lin said.
"Well, you got that fertilizer before, and that's pretty good. Su Chen knew, and then praised his wife's intelligence.
"That's it. Chen Lin thought that she copied the modern method of manure, but there was no way, she couldn't do anything other than this, and she still didn't know what to do, so she could only use the soil method.
"I've probably been busy lately, so be careful at home. Su Chen changed the topic again.
"What, those people have been found?" Chen Lin knew what he was busy with recently, the group of foreign robbers wandering around was very good at hiding, and after committing several crimes, they hid in the mountains and forests without a trace, Su Chen let them escape several times, and his heart was already full of murderous intent towards those people.
In the past few months, he has marked the places where those people haunt one by one, and he almost knows where they are hiding, and he is ready to destroy them in one fell swoop when they should think of making a move while they are going to do it during the autumn harvest.
"Well, I've already arranged it, and those people probably want to catch another one at this time of the autumn harvest. Su Chen's face was full of slaughter.
"Then be careful. Chen Lin never dragged his feet in his career, but he was still worried about his safety.
