"Master Hou, this ...... No, the farmers also mentioned when they were working that there was nothing left to feed their poultry and livestock this year. ”

Ma Zhou came up with his own ideas.

Li Hui smiled, "Mr. Ma Zhou, you are sloppy." ”

"These chickens, ducks and geese only need farmers to hold on for a month, and after that month, you see, every household has eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, in addition to the ones handed in to me, there are a lot left."

"This first step is the most difficult, as long as you insist on it for a month, chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, think about it, tsk, isn't this year's tax about the same."

During the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of eggs were relatively expensive, Li Hui had just become a marquis, and now he is not very familiar with the tenants in the underground seal, but it is said that the people of this thousand households are the kind of people who honestly farm the land.

These honest people are not worth bullying once, Li Hui is now thinking about how to lead these people to live a good life.

With Li Hui's current fiefdom as the center, it spreads out to the surrounding area for nearly ten miles or so, and it is his fiefdom, and these tenants are distributed in these places.

"Mr. Ma Zhou, tell them that these chickens, ducks and geese are not allowed to be slaughtered, grit their teeth, after a while, spring is coming, all of them will be let out for me to go out to stock, and after laying eggs, every family must pay this year's taxes with eggs."

Ma Zhou suddenly understood Li Hui's intentions this time.

Hou Ye wants to give these farmers a new way of life.

Peasants have been the hardest since ancient times, they face the loess with their backs to the sky, do the most tiring work, and are the most despised, even in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, many people take farmers and croppers as the title of scolding.

Ma Zhou was very smart, and immediately understood what Li Hui meant, trembling and excited.

"Master Hou, you want to take them to get rich together!"

"Not really! I don't want to see the poor fall down, chickens, ducks and geese are nothing, and I have to buy some young pigs and give them

They send it down. ”

"Master Hou, I'll do it myself!"

Ma Zhou was even more excited this time.

Li Hui originally planned to distribute these poultry in the spring, but there was no way, and now in the super farmhouse, there were originally 300 poultry, and after breeding, they had filled every inch of space, but in just seven days, wings and feathers were flying everywhere.

Chickens fight with chickens, ducks fight with chickens, and geese are the top in the cage, so naturally they only fight with geese.

It's annoying to watch, especially the chirping sound early in the morning, after each of them leaves a hundred, the other excess chickens, ducks and geese are taken out by Ma Zhou.

After the farmers heard the excessive request of the new Hou Ye, they cried one by one in an instant.

"It's over, is this Hou Ye a fool? There is not enough food at home, where is there anything extra to feed chickens, ducks and geese? ”

"Pig farming? No way! What are we going to raise this year? ”

Ma Zhou heard everyone talking puzzled, "You people are really lucky, hehe, when I was wandering, if there was someone like Lotte Hou now, my Ma Zhou would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law at an age, and he would not be able to gain fame?" ”

At this sentence, the farmers immediately laughed, "Mr. Ma Zhou, you are a good person, or I will tell you a family matter." ”

Ma Zhou's face darkened, "Hou Ye's words are death orders, Hou Ye said, if you don't want to, you can leave his fiefdom by yourself, Lantian is so big, he only has a thousand tenants, and the rest of the people don't care about his affairs, if some of you go, naturally some people want to come in." ”

"Remember, whether it is a pig, a chicken, a duck or a goose, the eggs and meat produced at that time will be used to pay this year's taxes.

For a while, the whole construction site was silent, and the winter evening was already dark quickly, and a huge shadow hung over the hearts of every farmer.

But at this moment, this little shadow will no longer make them uncomfortable, Hou Ye's method of paying taxes,

It seems to be more than before, not bad? Out of ten eggs, you can keep eight of them! Hou Ye is really the best person in the world!

"Master Hou is merciful!"

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Ma Zhou nodded, "Okay, you can continue to work, the workers during the day should eat, and hurry home after eating, the night shift workers are already coming." ”

In order to rush the work, Li Hui specially divided the day shift and night shift for these farmers to improve efficiency, and it is more reasonable to reverse day and night during this time period, after all, the time for farmers to go to the field has not yet come.

Idle is idle, they work, make money, subsidize the family, no better.

From the first day of receiving the chickens, ducks and geese, these farmers noticed a problem.

The chickens, ducks and geese distributed by Hou Ye were too leathery, fluttering their wings on the roof, and falling from above, nothing happened.

The only drawback is that the goose's combat effectiveness is too strong, and the yellow dogs in the family are not opponents, so they can only run away screaming.

Young children became candidates for free-range chickens, ducks and geese.

In the winter, where is there a place to graze, but it just so happens that these ducks and geese do not go into the water, so they follow the children in the wild, and when they come back, they still eat with a bulging belly.

Not to mention the chickens, they don't even have to go out of the door, with their own yard as the center, a radius of one mile, planing and shaving, and the fat ones are not good.

The eggs are also laid quickly, and in less than three days, chickens, ducks and geese have their first round of egg laying, and they start not one or two at a time, but three or five.

Now, the farmers are happy.

Although there is less time to rest every day, and when their babies go out to put chickens, ducks and geese, they will also fall and have a blue nose and swollen face, but how can a teenager not be happy to run around? When I saw my child's little face with bruises and excitement, I naturally didn't get angry.

Someone followed them all day long in order to see what those chickens, ducks and geese were eating, and when they came back, they had a brain

It's all sweating, and it's swinging when you walk.

Everyone asked him, and his legs were weak: "Master Hou, this is saving our lives!" The chickens, ducks and geese eat all locust eggs! ”

After Li Hui has saved enough tobacco leaves, he will use ten acres of super farmland to cultivate seeds, how much can he eat? At present, there are at least nearly 3 million households, that is, less than 20 million people, and according to the calculation of 35 acres of land per household, the demand for seeds is extremely great.

Ma Zhou no longer asks questions when faced with new things, especially when things grow in the land.

Hou Ye has his own secrets, isn't it good?

It's just that I don't know why recently, Ma Zhou always feels that someone is secretly looking at the Hou Mansion that has not yet been built.

"Master Hou, I always feel that someone is staring at us."

"Don't worry, those are all the minions of the court, and they all want to see who I Li Hui is!"

"It's okay, let them see!" Li Hui ate a bowl of oily noodles, and then asked, "By the way, Mr. Ma Zhou, do you want to become an official in the court?" ”
