After getting along with each other, Li Xin found out that the owner of the village was named Zheng Xing, and his family lived in Nanbai County. His family was engaged in silk and satin business. This time he wanted to sell the village to raise money because he wanted to try his hand at maritime business.

In the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River, there are also several docks open to foreigners for business. Foreign merchants will bring all kinds of novel things to the Tianchen Dynasty, and people here will also bring porcelain, tea, silk and the like.

Things are sold overseas. Although business at sea is risky, the profits are also amazing. Many things that are not surprising at home can be sold for sky-high prices after sailing thousands of miles to other countries.

However, it takes a long time to go back and forth, sometimes two or three years. Since it is rare to go there, it is natural to bring more things. Zheng Xing and his friend who is engaged in maritime business built several large ships together, that is,

I want to take more goods out and make a good profit.

After arriving here, Li Xin had not seen the sea yet! Listening to Zheng Xing's words, she felt a little yearned for it.

After Zhuangzi made the transaction, Zheng Xing said that some of the cattle used by Zhuangzi were also left to Li Xin, just to make a friend. Li Xin was very grateful, but she didn't expect Zheng Xing to be so generous. She had not seen the cattle raised in Zhuangzi.

Those who got cattle, many of them, used them to cultivate those fields. Cattle in this era were not cheap, and those cattle were still worth a lot of money.

Zheng Xing also asked Li Xin if he wanted people from Zhuangzi. Some of the people responsible for farming in Zhuangzi were tenant farmers nearby, and some were servants bought by the Zheng family. Not counting tenant farmers, they were just servants, men and women, old and young.

There are also more than forty people. In addition to the management, some of the remaining ones are responsible for farming, and some are responsible for serving people, such as sweeping the house and waiting for the master to come. There are also some

Children are all descendants of servants.

In this era, it is said that a family has a son, that is, the slaves in the house are generally referred to as servants. Unless the master is particularly gracious and releases the child, he will remain a slave in the family for generations.

When you are young, you usually can't do any errands, but when you are of the right age, you will start to do things.

In fact, Li Xin has always been unable to accept having slaves at home, but now, after listening to Zheng Xing's words, she is a little hesitant. Those slaves have always been in Zhuangzi, and they are very familiar with things in Zhuangzi. If those people are

If she stayed, she would definitely get half the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to buy an empty farm and get started. Once she has figured it out and hires good people, she might miss the winter planting season.

Shopkeeper Sun's intention was to let her keep those people, so that she would have people available. Since such a big Zhuangzi was bought, it must be used as soon as possible, otherwise it would not be a waste. Li Xin thought for a while

, still agreed, Zheng Xing was very happy, and said that he would go back and get the deed of sale, and it would be handed over to her soon. Originally, there were many people in Zhuangzi, and if he sold Zhuangzi, he really didn't know what to do with them at the moment.

How to deal with people. If you sell them casually, you feel a little guilty. In any case, those people have been serving them for many years and have not made any mistakes. If they sell them casually, who knows who they will be sold to! What if?

The new owner is not good and has treated those people badly.

If we take them home to serve them, there is no need for so many people in the family. Many servants have been serving the family for several generations, and they have given birth to many children. There are also many useless people in the family gradually. Moreover,

They have to pay for Yue Yin every month, which also adds to the burden on the mansion.

The deeds of sale of those people were all at the county magistrate's house, and they could not be retrieved for a while. Zheng Xing asked sisters Li Xin and shopkeeper Sun to live in Zhuangzi, and he sent someone to go back quickly to retrieve them. Li Xin had no objection, she wanted to

No matter how well you walk around the village, think about what you want to plant.

The field of more than 600 acres is really big, so you need to plan carefully what you want to plant. She doesn't need much seeds for tomatoes and peppers in her hands now, and she has a lot of seeds collected in her hands.

Hundreds of acres are feasible, and those mountainous areas can be used. If we start raising seedlings in winter, they can all be planted in spring. We have also harvested a lot of sweet potatoes, and there are still some seedlings growing in the vegetable garden. Those seedlings are also

You can plant a lot of land. If you take some sweet potato seedlings and plant some as soon as the seedlings grow, you can plant a lot of land. Spring potatoes have the highest yield, so you should plant more varieties. Although the yields of summer potatoes and autumn potatoes are not that high

, but it’s pretty good and you can grow some.

Then I also harvested a lot of corn seeds, and I can plant a lot of acres, and some pumpkins can be interplanted in the corn fields. There is really a lot that can be planted in the mountains, but paddy fields are a bit difficult. Mainly because

She didn't have many potato seeds in her hand, only a few hundred kilograms left, and she couldn't plant many acres. It seemed like she would have to plant more rice.

She doesn't want to grow wheat at all, mainly because the wheat varieties of this era have low yields, and the wheat cycle is long, which takes up too much space.

In the winter season, it seems that it is more suitable to plant potatoes. Many other things can only be planted in spring. Rapeseed and peas can be planted in the southern winter, but I don’t know if anyone grows rape in this place.

.If possible, it would be good to plant rapeseed for the first season, as it can fertilize the land and produce a lot of oil.

She asked the stewards in Zhuangzi. The stewards of Zhuangzi were a couple. The man was in his thirties and his name was Wang Fu. Her wife’s surname was Yang. People in Zhuangzi called her Sister-in-law Wang. Generally, Wang Fu was still involved in farming matters.

In charge, Yang is in charge of the food and drink of everyone in Zhuangzi.

Li Xin asked Wang Fu and found out that Zhuangzi planted two crops a year, one for winter wheat and one for rice. One year passed, but there was no one with new ideas. The surrounding families also planted like this. Occasionally, there were

People grow a few other things, such as soybeans and peanuts, but not much.

These places are not close to counties and towns, and no one knows how to grow vegetables and sell them. Generally, those who grow and sell vegetables are people who live near the counties and towns, and they supply them to restaurants or go to morning markets.

Li Xin also asked Wang Fu about rapeseed, but Wang Fu said that he had never heard of this kind of vegetable. Li Xin remembered that in ancient times, rapeseed seemed to be called Yuncai, so he asked Wang Fu if he had heard of Yuncai. This time Wang Fu did

I have heard of it, and there are people nearby who can grow it and eat it. However, no one knows how to extract oil from brassica seeds. They just grow some and eat them as vegetables, and then they don’t need them when they get old.

Li Xin was very happy to hear that there was one nearby. Li Xin asked Wang Fu to help him look for it and see if he could buy some seeds. Although Zheng Xing had not yet handed everyone's deeds of betrayal to Li Xin, Zheng Xing

He had already given the order, and everyone in Zhuangzi would obey Li Xin's orders from now on. Wang Fu naturally knew that the little girl in front of him would be his future master. He stopped giving Li Xin's orders and took some people to find the seeds of the rhizome.

Went.
