The Reborn Wife is Farming

"Hey, have you heard? The boss is going to distribute winter clothes to children under the age of twelve." A woman in her thirties grabbed her companion and said enviously.

The companion pouted, and said: "This is all news a few days ago, you only know now that the clothes are ready, that's all right, no matter how envious you are, you have no place in it."

"It's not for me, but it's for my son. He's only eight years old this year, just in time. I don't know if the host will have someone in the next spring."

"You have time, Fang Zhifu has allocated so many lands to us, and we can be busy with the work in the land."

"I can't come, but the children can come too. I'm in charge of the food. Half-grown children eat me to death, and I don't do much work. If the pasture is paid, I will let him come even if I don't pay him for a bowl of food."

The companion rolled his eyes and said: "I heard that there are thousands of calves to be raised. Look at the ones that have been delivered in the past few days. We can't even count them. They are few, so maybe they will really invite people."

"I don't know if I can catch up with Miss Xiuhong. If I can, maybe I can reserve a spot..."

There were quite a few people who heard this, so Xiuhong found that there were always people around her recently, who were extremely attentive. She used to take the initiative to help when she was doing accounts, and even someone brought her tea and water and moved the stool. .

Xiuhong just raised her eyebrows and didn't ask why, she just turned around and went back to find Zhang Liu.

Zhang Liu thought for a while and said: "Now both states know that we need calves for a large cattle farm. There are many people who have sent calves over in the past few days. They see it and know that we will hire workers next year, so I want to please Miss Cousin so that I can compete for the next spot."

"They want to come? Not to work in the fields?"

"It's for the kids."

Xiuhong nodded, she just said, Hanzhong Mansion is short of everything now, especially the labor force, it is better in winter and slack season, but don’t even think about hiring people during the busy farming season, only these children can come to the cattle farm to do some odd jobs work.

Thinking of Mu Yangling's plan to expand the cattle farm to 3,000 cattle, she didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "If someone asks you, don't just accept it, just say that the owner will arrange it next year."

Zhang Liu responded.

Mu Yangling went to make a deal with Butcher Qin.

Butcher Qin drove 365 calves over here this time, but after not seeing each other for a few days, Butcher Qin lost a lot of weight. When he saw Mu Yangling, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Mu, Finally, I can live to see you."

Mu Yangling found a knife wound on Hua Tuhu's face, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Butcher Hua smiled wryly, "Fortunately, after listening to Miss Mu's persuasion, we encountered robbers on the road. Fortunately, there were not many robbers on the road. There were about ten people on our side, so we saved the flock. Otherwise, this time it would really be a waste of money." There is no return."

Mu Yangling's face darkened, then their business might not be able to continue. Sure enough, Qin Butcher and Hua Butcher said: "The road from Hanzhong Mansion to Xingyuan Mansion is fine, but Xingyuan Mansion further east is in chaos. The refugees scattered from Tongchuan Mansion went up to the mountains to become bandits, and because there were not many of them, the imperial court didn't care about it."

"how many people?"

"There are only a dozen or twenty in the group, and fortunately they are not many, otherwise we would not be able to escape."

"Then this business?"

Butcher Qin and Butcher Hua looked at each other, shook their heads and said: "It's okay to go to Xingyuan Mansion, but it's not good to go out of Xingyuan Mansion, Miss Mu, we definitely won't be able to buy so many sheep, so we'll just make a trip. We also found this calf for you in Xingyuan Mansion, there is nothing to do if there are too many of them."

Mu Yangling nodded, with a smile on his face, "Thank you all too."

Mu Yangling settled the accounts with them, and after the money and goods were settled, they began to discuss how many sheep they would take away this time, and Bowen had already led the people to drive the calves back first.

"Uncle Qin, you have traveled a lot along the way, and there is still something I need your help with."

Qin Butcher leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "Miss Mu, just say what we can do."

"You two also know that I don't have time to go out now, so I would like to ask you to help me promote the cattle farm along the way. If anyone wants to sell a calf, just bring it. I will definitely give them a suitable price."

It was just a word, and Butcher Qin immediately complied.

Mu Yangling went to Fang Zhifu again, hoping that he could support the construction of the cattle farm through official channels and attract more people to drive the calves here.

Fang Zhifu also thought about renting her cattle in the spring of next year, which would be a simple matter, and he would be happy to do it, so he agreed.

There are many people who bring their calves to the cattle farm to sell. There are cattle dealers, and most of them bring their own calves together.

The price Mu Yangling gave was very fair. Even though it would take several days to bring a calf over a long distance, Mu Yangling would give an extra 2 cents for the trip, and the couple would earn less than 100 yuan a month. It was a huge sum of money for the farmers in Wenwen. When the news spread, those who had calves at home were more willing to bring them to the cattle farm, which made the price of calves on the market rise a bit.

On the day of the winter solstice, the number of cattle in the cattle farm had reached 3,085, and Mu Yangling then sent word that after five days, the cattle farm would no longer accept cattle.

As for why the cows were not collected on the same day, it was naturally for the sake of the people who were already on the road at this time. They couldn't have worked so hard to bring the cattle to the cattle farm but not collect them, right?

At this time, the room and the cowshed of the cattle farm have been built, and more than 3,000 cows have been driven into the cowshed. Mu Yangling divided the cattle farm into three areas, one area has a thousand cows, and there are not many odd ones.

A district has a district chief, who is in charge of ten people, and one person is responsible for about a hundred calves.

And Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu are in charge of these thirty-three people.

And the harvesting of the pasture is also finishing, and the pasture that has been dried is piled up in the room, the roof of the cowshed and the thatched house.

The settlement at the barracks is wages, while the settlement at the good people is food. In order to prevent looting, Fang Zhifu specially brought the government servants to maintain order that day.

Because of the large number of people, Mu Yangling directly invited soldiers from the Fifth Battalion to come over to help pay wages and food.

Fang Zhifu looked at the dark area in the cattle farm, the copper coins in the bamboo basket behind Xiuhong, and the piles of grain not far away, and sighed to Mu Yang: "Business makes a lot of money, no wonder I'm so big. Many people lost their fields to engage in business."

The business of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very prosperous, surpassing any previous dynasty. Mu Yangling did not deny this. Although the current dynasty looked down on merchants in various ways, it did not restrict the development of business.

Fang Zhifu's eyes were full of melancholy, "Emperor Sejong made a mistake. If he could emphasize agriculture and suppress business, there would be no uncultivated land and no food in the treasury."
