Having money makes things easier, and the same applies to the vast and sparsely populated Northland!
Soon, the originally remote valley manor became lively.
The flat ground outside the manor quickly turned into plowed land.
The young farmers hired at a high price laughed and chatted loudly while working in the fields.
Chen Ying is really not stingy!
All farmers who are willing to come here will be given a settling-in allowance of five taels of silver per person.
In the suburbs of Beidi, five taels of silver is enough for a family of three to feed themselves for a year, which is not a lot at all.
Also, for farmers who are willing to move their families, the male and female laborers will receive five taels of silver each, the children under thirteen will receive two taels of silver, and the elderly will also receive one or two and a half of the settlement allowance.
At the same time, the manor is also responsible for their temporary residence and one month's living needs, which is absolutely generous in the current Northland.
Such good treatment immediately attracted hundreds of landless households from the outskirts of Beidi City, with their whole families coming to seek refuge.
Although the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, no more than half of the population owns their own fields. The rest are either frontier soldiers eating the imperial grain, small craftsmen, businessmen, and a large number of tenants.
It's not that they are unwilling to work hard, it's that the areas outside the major cities in the North are not safe, and the wolves and wild beasts in the wilderness are no joke.
Even for elite soldiers of the border army, it is quite dangerous to walk alone in the wilderness of the North. Once they encounter a pack of wolves or ferocious beasts, they may not be able to escape unscathed.
Under such circumstances, if there is no strongman organization to form a stronghold, trying to open up wasteland in the northern wilderness is no different than seeking death.
For this reason, the major cities in the North are surrounded by more than 90% of the land, most of which are owned by the families of generals and frontier soldiers, and there are also many landless tenants.
Valley Manor recruits these tenants and their families...
The effect is quite good. Although the population of 100 households is nothing compared to the huge valley, it is a good start.
Both young and old men and women were assigned farming tasks, and children and teenagers were arranged to be apprentices in the workshops outside the manor, which made the hundreds of families who had just moved here very grateful.
In this era, it is not easy to learn a craft...
Not to mention, Chen Ying also taught these newly migrated people the simple method of exercising Qi and blood that he had figured out by himself in the world of Red Mansions, and he also received great gratitude from these people.
Chen Ying was the third son of Zhenbei Gongfu. How could the training methods he taught him be so simple and crude?
An exercise method that can strengthen the body is also very valuable in the Northland.
This group of newly moved people will exercise seriously every morning and evening in the small square that has just been leveled out. Men, women, old and children will go out together. The scene is quite lively. At the same time, these newly moved people will not only be grateful to Valley Manor,
Besides, it has a little more belonging.
Not only did these relocated people benefit, but also the craftsmen in the workshops were promised that as long as they relocated their families, they would also receive various benefits from the manor owner.
It's just a pity that Chen Ying, the third young master of Zhenbei Gongfu, is not much of a deterrent to these low-level craftsmen who are servants of the Gongfu, let alone attractive.
They had no intention of bringing their family over. They just followed Chen Ying's instructions to do their jobs and would return to Beidicheng when the time came.
This was Chen Ying's promise. Although he wanted these craftsmen to come, he also knew that forceful melons were not sweet, so he gave them a five-year buffer. Once the time was up, they could leave on their own initiative and return to Zhenbei Gongfu in Beidi.
The workshops in the city and major cities in the North do not look down on remote places like Valley Manor.
Chen Ying did not mean to force it. He believed that after five years, Valley Manor would not be worse than any other city in the North, even the North City.
He did not think about how to build the Valley Manor with flowers and flowers, but regarded it as a pure grain production and rough processing, as well as medicinal material acquisition and processing base. He would later develop the money and grain foundation in the Northland.
As long as the basic food supply can be guaranteed to be slightly surplus and basic daily necessities can be provided, there are not many other ideas.
The most important industry here is naturally the pharmaceutical workshop run by Chen Ying himself. From now on, he will be able to continuously harvest money, and there will also be a large number of experienced hunters and various martial arts masters coming.
Apart from other things, a group of retired frontier army heroes headed by Zhang San have recently been planning to stay in the valley manor.
Not only that, they also invited more companions with the same background experience to join them in the wonderful cause of hunting mutated ferocious birds and beasts in the Snowy Mountains.
Previously, a mutated leopard made Zhang San and his brothers make a lot of money, and now they are even more ambitious and want to show off their talents.
There is also an investigation team here in the manor, as well as Zhao Ranruo's stationed younger brother. While they are paying attention to the activities of the pharmaceutical workshop in the inner courtyard of the manor, they will also occasionally participate in hunting operations for mutated ferocious birds and beasts in the Snowy Mountains.
In short, after throwing out a lot of money, the entire valley manor became lively and changed rapidly.
Chen Ying was very satisfied, especially when Zhao Ranruo personally brought several descendants of the Zhao family and a mutated and colorful tiger that he had just hunted, he felt even better.
"Let's talk first, what are the main functions of the forty bottles of pills you want?"
"Is it for Zhenqi cultivation, internal boxing cultivation, or hard skills? Are there any other special requirements?"
"Of course, I don't just provide pills here, I also provide medicinal wine and ointments. You must make it clear in advance!"
Facing the first guest who presented a mutated beast with powerful combat power, he was still very considerate and explained some of the situation clearly.
The tycoon in the North is the tycoon in the North. He easily hunted down a mutated tiger with a level of martial arts comparable to that of the Neijia Quan Hua Jin. Naturally, the biggest beneficiary was Chen Ying himself.
"Are there so many doorways?"
Zhao Ranruo was a little confused by what he said, but finally said: "Let's make them all into pills for Qi cultivation. I just don't know how the effect compares with Leopard Qi Pills and Bear Gallbladder Pills?"
"Nature is stronger!"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "I was too hasty when I made the bear bile pills, otherwise the effect would be stronger. Now there is not so much trouble. There is no shortage of materials in the manor, and there is also suitable equipment for refining medicine. Uncle Zhao can rest assured.
Got it!"
"When can I get the pills?"
Zhao Ranruo's face lit up with joy, and he immediately thought about how many benefits he could get, and how much he could improve his strength...
