552 is busy
When the emperor and empress first came to the Lin Mansion, Lin He and Li Changhui accompanied them for two days, taking them around the neighborhood every day, mainly going to the field, and then listening to Lin He talk about the planning in the field.
However, this enthusiasm only lasted for two days, and from the third day, Lin He was busy.
Recently, the autumn harvest has been very busy, and the land deeds given by Jin Rong later, all the agricultural products in the Zhuangzi are slowly being sent to the previous owner, and the vacant fields depend on how Lin He arranges them.
The first thing to do, naturally, is to build a pigsty, beat a chicken shed, and most importantly, go to a nearby farmer and order a large number of piglets and chickens.
Both of these need to be booked in advance, after all, it is not so coincidental, and it just so happens that all the people who raise sows now have piglets in their homes that can be sold.
Chicks also have to hatch, this is simpler, almost every tenant in Zhuangzi raises chickens, Lin He uniformly instructed to hatch chicks, take care of them to a month's size, and she gave an extra penny for each one.
Why is it called extra, because according to the market, all the things in this Zhuangzi belong to the landlord, and the tenants just help to plant and raise.
And their reward is two-three out of tenths of the harvest.
For example, after receiving 100 catties of grain, the tenant can keep 20 or 30 catties and raise ten chickens, only two or three of which are his own, and lay ten eggs, but still only two or three are his own.
The rest are all owned by the landlord.
As for whether this is 20% or 30%, it depends on how the deed between the landlord and the tenant is signed.
The landlord is rich and kind, maybe two and a half percent, thirty percent, which is already better.
The landlord was mean, only giving half or two percent, and there were many who exploited the tenants.
As for the Lin family's current farm, because it was in the hands of the prince and the princess in the past, whether it was because they were rich themselves, or in order to gain a good reputation and not let themselves tarnish the royal reputation, it has always been thirty percent.
Well, that's right, three percent, is already the highest known at the moment.
When Lin He took over, the steward in the field had also told her this before, if Lin He was willing, it could be reduced to two and a half, but Lin He refused.
She didn't want to be a pioneer of reform, so she just maintained the three achievements of the status quo.
So what Lin He said, give an extra penny for each little chicken, don't look at it much, but for the tenants who are already hard and have no chance to make money, it is a lot of unexpected income.
After all, as long as Lin He ordered them to go down, whether they wanted to or not, they would do their best to help hatch the chicks, and after raising ten, only three could only sell them for money.
Now I have ten of them, and not only can I sell them for money, but I can also get seven cents.
For low-level people, seven cents can already do a lot of things.
For example, tearing a foot of coarse cloth and making a new dress for the child.
Or buy a few catties of food so that the family can eat a few more full meals.
Even hatch a few more litters of chicks and raise them for another month, just in time for the New Year, and you can use the money to have a rare and wealthy New Year.
Therefore, as soon as Lin He's news was released, almost every household began to hatch chicks.
As for eggs, there is naturally no shortage of them, after all, hens can't be forced to hold their nests, and they certainly can't do all hens to hatch chicks right away.
In the past, the eggs were received together every day, except for those sent to Zhuangzi, the rest were sold, similar to vegetables.
Every day, the steward will write down all the things sold and the proceeds, and hand them over to Li Changhui at the end of the month, Li Changhui will check the accounts and collect the money, which Lin He doesn't care.
All she had to do was arrange and release the aura.
In addition to these, Lin He also has his own ideas for pig farms and chicken sheds.
This is different from Nanzhi County, this time there is no river next to their farm, there is a river, there is no shortage, but it is too far away from them.
Lin He immediately decided that he had to dig two large fish ponds, one at the foot of the mountain and one near the breeding area.
These two places were also specially selected by Lin He, and they just covered the area of the entire farm on average.
It is probably to divide the farm into three parts about the same distance, and these two fish ponds are exactly on the two dividing lines.
Raising fish and watering the ground is not wrong.
As for the pigsty, it was designed by Lin He to be the model of a pig farm that he had seen in his previous life, and the ventilation effect was very good, which was the most important, and it was still two layers, and pigweed could be stacked on top of it.
This is more than 1,000 acres of sweet potato land, dried sweet potato vines, but the main food to feed pigs after winter, of course, the sake lees after brewing is indispensable, but also can be dried and stored, and later used to feed pigs, or even chickens.
However, you can't feed too much at a time, and it's easy to get drunk.
As Lin He made arrangements in an orderly manner, the steward of the farm also began to be busy with his feet not touching the ground, not for anything else, but to find people to work everywhere.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sweet potatoes will not be able to be dug for a few days, many tenants have also been brought in to do short-term work, which is the kind that Lin He personally promised to pay the wages.
Oh yes, in their own fields, all the grains such as rice, corn, peanuts, and soybeans that were originally planted by Shaoniang have also been harvested.
The steward found the account books of previous years, compared them one by one, and left the tenants with the same amount of grain as last year, and the rest was all received to the forest house.
After all, eight or nine out of ten of the land this year are planted with sweet potatoes, and all the sweet potatoes are needed, and then they will be subsidized one to one according to the grain they have distributed in previous years.
Because of the small amount of grain planted, and the tenants left as much grain as in previous years, the last one sent to the forest house added up to more than 1,000 catties.
Lin He doesn't care, as long as he has enough to eat, he can still buy it if he doesn't have enough, and he can re-sow seeds next year, just a variety of points.
She planted so many sweet potatoes this year, and she had the idea of seizing the opportunity, and during this time, almost every few days, she had to use spiritual power to nourish all the sweet potatoes in the field.
Even if it is only for two or three months, she can guarantee that this wine is definitely better than ordinary wine.
As far as she knew, from the beginning of the construction of the brewery, the news that sweet potatoes could be used to make wine had leaked out.
It's not surprising that this good guy built a brewery outside the city, and it was strange that he planted so many sweet potatoes, and that someone with a little brain could connect the two.
So now, even if the sweet potatoes haven't been dug yet, the price has secretly begun to rise, so that Lin He's more than 1,000 acres of sweet potato land is just a good thing.
Lin He was busy here, and the queen on the other side actually started an idyllic life when Lin He left her busy.
She specially asked someone to open a small piece of land for her, and even pulled the emperor, these two quasi-emperors and queen mothers actually began to learn to grow vegetables.
