The Reborn Wife is Farming

But the next day, following the rumors that Jiang Ze asked people to spread, they all said that the mortgaged land deeds would never come back, the interest was too high, and they would definitely not be able to pay it next fall, when the time came, the country gentry would definitely give up the land. It was taken back, so it would be better to sell it.

So within two days, those who went to the gate of the government office with the title deed in their hands did not re-mortgage, but asked to sell it.

If a few squires didn't buy it, they went to find someone else.

These squires are not the only ones in Fucheng, there are also some rich peasants, small landlords, small merchants, or middle-level squires, they also want to buy land...

This is different from what Liu Yuanwai and the others had imagined. The food needed for buying land is different from that for lending. The former is twice as much as the latter. But looking at the victims leaving one after another, Liu Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said, "Buy, otherwise. These mud legs can be sold in Xingyuan Mansion, you know, there are many people there who want to buy land at a low price."

He Yuanwai gritted his teeth and agreed after thinking about it.

The corners of Qi Xiuyuan's mouth curved even higher.

Mu Yangling didn't know what was going to happen, but seeing the big guys busily selling and buying land, he always felt uneasy.

She ran to Qi Haoran to inquire about the news. Qi Haoran was having fun beating people these days, and waved his hand indifferently when he heard the words: "What could happen? My elder brother is busy catching traitors these days, how can I have the time to pay attention to it?" Local government affairs? You don’t have to worry, Wu Shancai is really going to go too far, I’ll write a letter to the capital to impeach him, and see what else he’s proud of.”

Fan Zijin, who was nervous, suddenly relaxed, and stood aside with a smile and nodded, "Haoran and I know many friends in Lin'an Mansion, and their fathers are all officials in the court. You can give it a try, Miss Mu, don't worry."

Mu Yangling looked at Fan Zijin suspiciously, "Is that so?"

Then why was he nervous just now?

Fan Zijin nodded with a smile, "That's it."

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Mu Yangling could only leave disappointed.

Seeing that she was depressed, Qi Haoran didn't understand why, so he quickly chased after her and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you just sell the land? Just buy it back after making money, but Qu Zijin said that the imperial court encourages land reclamation. The income from land reclamation belongs to everyone, and the tax was reduced for the first two years.”

"You said it lightly. How else can farmers make money besides farming? Before when they had land, they couldn't make a few taels of silver a year. Now that they don't have land, it's even difficult for them to eat."

Mu Yangling sighed and said, "Do you think it's good to be a tenant of the landlord's family? Sixty percent of the harvest in the field has to be handed over. The landlord will force them to work for him when the farming is busy, and even more so when the farming is off. It’s a little bit better than the long-term workers of the landlord’s house, not to mention making money, if you don’t die from exhaustion, it’s the virtues of your ancestors.”

Qi Haoran was dumbfounded, "The tenant is so miserable?"

Mu Yangling rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, what do you think? The tenants don't have to pay the land tax, but the Dante tax and the Ding tax are not less. They only get 40% of the grain a year. After getting rid of these, how much do you think is enough?" Family food? In our Linshan Village, we can eat thick porridge for half a year, black and white steamed buns for two months, and various grains for the remaining four months. As a tenant, we have to eat bran for at least half a year. Something for pigs."

Qi Haoran looked awkward, "I, I don't know, it's easy for me to make money, how about I lend you some?" Qi Haoran touched his deflated purse.

Mu Yangling glanced at his purse, and said: "Come on, your little money is not enough for our teeth. In fact, I came to see you just to know what will happen and give me a reassurance. In the past two days, my heart has always been in a state of turmoil, and I am afraid that I will lead my fellow villagers to a dead end."

Qi Haoran was silent for a moment, then said: "You wait, I'll ask my elder brother."

"Don't," Mu Yangling held him back, "You also said that the general is busy, so don't make trouble for him, just forget it if you don't know." Mu Yangling remembered that Fan Zijin's complexion was different just now, and his eyes rolled , whispered in his ear: "Don't ask the general, ask Fan Zijin."

"Zijin? If he knew, Grandpa would have known." The two brothers would tell each other anything.

"Maybe he just found out, and he hasn't had time to tell you yet," Mu Yangling said, "Go ask him, and tell me if you do."

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and agreed.

Poor Fan Zijin thought that Qi Haoran didn't know anything and wouldn't reveal the secret, so he didn't keep up with the two of them, so he was tricked by his brother.

Qi Haoran ran to look for Fan Zijin, and asked as soon as they met, "I heard from Mu Yangling that it was the eldest brother who hinted that she asked the people in Linshan Village to sell all the land. Do you know why?"

Fan Zijin was never on guard against Qi Haoran, he nodded and said: "I know, cousin got some news from the capital, selling the land is more cost-effective than mortgaging the title deed."

Qi Haoran rushed forward, "What news?"

Seeing that there were only two people in the room, Fan Zijin didn't hide it from him, and said in a low voice, "I told you, you have to keep your mind out and don't let it out."

Qi Haoran nodded quickly.

Fan Zijin whispered a few words in his ear.

Qi Haoran's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"

Fan Zijin nodded with a smile.

"Great," Qi Haoran jumped up and said, "When the time comes, I will ask my elder brother to take care of the fourth and fifth battalions."

"You think so beautifully. Even Hua Hui, the first general under my cousin, didn't receive two battalions. If my cousin really handed over the fourth and fifth battalions to you, it would be terrible."

Qi Haoran pursed his lips, and Fan Zijin sighed and said, "I think my cousin probably wants to hand over the fifth battalion to you. The last time I asked you to go to the fourth battalion, the soldiers in the western battalion didn't say anything, but they all felt that my cousin was partial to you. You, this time you have made great achievements, and you have trained the miscellaneous soldiers of the fourth battalion to look like a human being. Everyone is somewhat convinced, but you are only twelve years old, and your cousin can't invite you. You have no body. Official position, it is not appropriate to manage the Fourth Battalion."

Qi Haoran's anxious eyes were red, and he couldn't remember what Mu Yangling entrusted to him, so he immediately shouted: "I want to see the results of my master, but I don't want to see who I am, but I want to see, who dares?" Take over the Fourth Battalion."

The original soldiers of the Fourth Battalion were so poor, old, disabled, weak, and some were so timid that they screamed at the sight of slaughtered chickens. It took him so much effort to clean up the Fourth Battalion like a human being. Taken over like this?

For the sake of the fourth camp, he skipped classes every three days, was beaten up by his elder brother every now and then, and almost stayed in the camp for food and lodging. Is it easy for him?

Fan Zijin also felt sorry for his partner, but there was nothing he could do, who told them they were young?

There has never been an official in the court at the age of twelve, let alone a general.

Fan Zijin patted his brother on the shoulder and said: "Wait another two years, we will be fourteen in two years, and then let my cousin seal us up."
