i Gu Changan smiled bitterly, "Jiuniang, can we still discuss it again?"
"Everything else is easy to talk about. If you don't want to take care of the village's affairs, let me help take care of it. That's no problem. Let everyone listen to your arrangements. That's no problem. But the last one is difficult."
Land is the lifeblood of their people. It would be difficult for Jiuniang to rent all their land. After all, the land rent is only a few hundred cash a year. This rent is not enough for an old family to drink and use.
The land is here, so take good care of it. Although you won’t be able to eat enough with a year’s harvest, you won’t starve to death. Therefore, leasing the land is absolutely impossible. Lin Jiuniang chuckled, “One acre of land, one year’s rent.
One tael of silver and five hundred kilograms of rice, and I will hire someone in the village to take care of the farm work, and the salary is five hundred wen a month."
She calculated that the one acre of land rent and rice she gave was enough for a family of four to eat and drink for a year. If they were more diligent and took care of the work in their own fields, their life would definitely be very nourishing, and it would be much better than their two-year-old family.
The land is worth the sky and the food is strong. What's more, her plan is much more than that. It requires many people to work for her. By then, everyone will have an income. Are you afraid that your life will not be comfortable? Of course, she must implement her plans one by one.
She needed more money. Thinking of the fat sheep that came to her door yesterday, maybe she should agree. Gu Changan's eyes widened, his heart pounded, and his voice trembled, "Ms. Lin, are you serious?"
"When did I, Lin Jiuniang, tell lies?"
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "I want to rent your land, but I have to sign a contract with you, and the lease term is ten years. If you agree, I will give you the first year's rent and food on the day the contract is signed."
Lin Jiuniang wanted to use the produce from the land in Anle Village to cover up the things in her space. After all, her space was a secret. If she kept taking things out without cover, people would be suspicious. She didn't want to be burned as a monster.
"Okay, wait until I hear the news, and I will go to the village to discuss it immediately."
Gu Changan was so excited that he was about to run away, but Lin Jiuniang stopped him, "Don't be busy yet."
"Jiuniang, you, are you regretting it?" Gu Changan was a little worried. Lin Jiuniang rolled her eyes, "Am I such a person?"
"I have a profitable business now, and I want you to ask the people in the village if anyone can do it."
Gu Changan became interested and continued, "I need a large amount of cannabis, kudzu and ramie bark. If you peel it freshly and deliver it, it will cost one penny or two catties. If you add water and boil it overnight and dry it in the sun, I will give you two cents per catty."
.”
"Ms. Lin, we only have kudzu here, not hemp and ramie, and the quantity is not very large," Gu Changan felt a little regretful. Lin Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, "I want as much as I want, just send it to me if I can get it."
Then he asked where these things are abundant, and Gu Changan shook his head. He didn't know this. Everyone just grows enough for their own use, because these things are not valuable, and they grow the silk and linen inside to stuff them into winter clothes or quilts.
It is used for heating in winter. Zhang Jianzhong, who happened to be passing by with the materials, interjected, "Ms. Lin, do you want a lot of kudzu? I know where to get it."
"In Baochang Village, three hundred miles away from here, every household grows kudzu. If you want to buy it, you can go there and have a look. Moreover, many people in their neighboring villages also grow kudzu."
Lin Jiuniang was happy when she heard this. She was dozing off and someone brought a pillow. "Master Zhang, are you sure?"
"Of course, I went there to help people repair their houses at the beginning of the year and stayed there, so I know a little bit about it."
Zhang Jianzhong looked sure, but then he became embarrassed, "However, it seems that someone came to buy them. I wonder if they will sell them to you?"
"It's okay, Master Zhang, your news has helped me a lot, thank you," Lin Jiuniang expressed her gratitude and left in a hurry. Nearly ten days have passed since the time for the bet, and she must find enough raw materials.
.And it also takes time to make kudzu into silk. So three months seems to be a long time, but in fact it passes quickly and there is no time for her to waste. After going straight to the town and buying some food,
Lin Jiuniang went directly to the yamen. But as soon as she arrived at the gate of the county yamen, she was stopped by Gu Dongsheng. "Ms. Lin, please come back. My lord said I won't see you today."
Gu Dongsheng glanced at Lin Jiuniang with complicated eyes, and immediately put away his unnecessary expression. She was the one he could only look up to. Lin Jiuniang raised his eyebrows, "Don't you see me?"
Gu Dongsheng nodded bravely, "Yes!"
"Okay then, if you don't see me, you'll see me!"
Lin Jiuniang looked regretful and turned around to leave. Gu Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't insist on seeing the adults. He was afraid that she would insist on seeing the adults. Should he stop her or not? At this moment, a figure suddenly came from
He rushed past and rushed into the yamen. Gu Dongsheng was startled and subconsciously wanted to catch up. "Ms. Lin..." After realizing it, he immediately gave up the chase. That's all. If she wants to see the Lord, then she can meet him. Anyway, he is at most
It was just that he was scolded by an adult. In the county government study room, Qin Shuo looked at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed. He didn't know whether to tell Lin Jiuniang about this. Tell her that she was very guarded in her heart, and she didn't do anything well.
I can be more cautious. But I told her, but I was afraid that she would be frightened and give up, giving away the fat in her hands. If I didn't tell her, I was afraid that she wouldn't be careful and would be fooled, and the end would be even worse.
Because he didn't know whether to tell her or not, Qin Shuo didn't want to see her for the time being, so he asked someone to guard the door to stop her. He put the letter on the table and walked to the window. When he was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, he saw her in a hurry.
He walked towards this side. His face darkened, this woman! She walked quickly towards the desk, just picked up the letter, but before she could hide it, she walked in. Qin Shuo's face darkened, "Do you understand the rules?
Come in and knock on the door."
Did he indulge this woman too much? Lin Jiuniang didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the door, then knocked on the door. Of course, she didn't miss his action of putting the letter in the book. Knock, knock, knock! "Master Qin, I can come in."
?"
Lin Jiuniang asked with a smile. Qin Shuo retracted his hand and said expressionlessly, "Come in."
When she walked in, she said, "Didn't I tell you that I won't see you today?"
"But I want to see you," Lin Jiuniang said with an innocent face. What a scumbag! Qin Shuo was speechless. What he said was ambiguous and misleading. People who didn't know better thought there was something between them, but he knew very well.
Lin Jiuniang is a scumbag. Don't take her words seriously. If you take her words seriously, you will lose. Forget it, this woman is cold-hearted and will not be defeated so easily. Let her know that it is better to be on guard. Then she just
He handed the hidden letter to her, "I just received it. Take a look at it yourself."
