Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

When the emperor and empress first came to Lin's house, Lin He and Li Changhui were very attentive and stayed with them for two days. They took them to walk around the area every day. The main thing was to go to the fields and listen to Lin He talk about the fields. Planning etc.

However, this enthusiasm only lasted for two days. Starting from the third day, Lin He became busy.

The autumn harvest has been very busy recently. The land deeds given by Jinrong and all the agricultural products in the village are slowly being sent to the former owners. It depends on how Lin He arranges the vacant fields.

The first thing to do is to build a pig pen, build a chicken shed, and most importantly, go to a nearby farmer and order a large number of piglets and chickens.

Both of these need to be booked in advance. After all, it’s not that lucky. It happens that all the sow owners have piglets to sell.

The chicks also need to be hatched, which is a bit simpler. Almost every tenant household in the village raises chickens. Lin He gives instructions to hatch the chicks until they are one month old, and she pays an extra penny for each one.

Why is it called extra? Because according to market conditions, everything in this village belongs to the landlord, and the tenants only help plant and raise it.

And their reward is twenty-three percent of the harvest.

For example, after harvesting one hundred kilograms of grain, the tenant can keep twenty or thirty kilograms. If he raises ten chickens, only two or three are his own. If he lays ten eggs, only two or three are his own.

The rest belongs to the landlord.

As for whether this is [-]% or [-]%, it depends on how the contract between the landlord and the tenant is signed.

If the landlord is rich and kind-hearted, it may be [-]% or [-]%, which is already relatively good.

Some landlords are mean and only give [-]% or [-]%, and there are also many who exploit tenants.

As for the current farm of the Lin family, because it was in the hands of princes and princesses before, whether they were wealthy themselves or because they wanted to gain a good reputation and not let themselves tarnish the reputation of the royal family, it has always been [-]%.

Well, that's right, [-]% is already the highest known so far.

When Lin He took over, the field manager had told her this before. If Lin He was willing, she could reduce the price to [-]%, but Lin He refused.

She didn't want to be a pioneer of reform, so she just maintained the status quo of the three achievements.

So what Lin He said, an extra penny for each chicken, may not seem like much, but it is a huge unexpected income for the tenant farmers who are already struggling and have no chance to make money.

After all, as long as Lin He gave instructions, they would do their best to help hatch the chicks, whether they wanted to or not. After raising ten chicks, only three could be sold for money.

Now that I have fed ten of them, not only can three of them be sold for money, but I can also get another seven cents.

For the lower class people, seven cents can already do a lot of things.

For example, pull out a foot of coarse cloth and make new clothes for your child.

Or buy a few kilograms of grain so that the family can have more meals.

He could even hatch a few more broods of chicks and raise them for another month, just in time for the Chinese New Year. He could use the money to live a rare and prosperous New Year.

Therefore, as soon as the news about Lin He was released, almost every household started hatching chicks.

As for eggs, there is naturally no shortage. After all, hens cannot be forced to nest, and it is certainly not possible for all hens to hatch chicks immediately.

In the past, eggs were received together every day. Except for those sent to Zhuangzi, the rest were sold, as were vegetables.Every day, the manager would write down all the items sold and the profits, and hand them over to Li Changhui at the end of the month. Li Changhui would check the accounts and collect the money, and Lin He didn't care about it.

She only arranges and releases spiritual energy.

In addition to these, Lin He also has his own ideas about pig farms and chicken sheds.

This place is different from Nanzhi County. This time there is no river next to their farm. There is a river, no shortage of it, but it is too far away from them.

Lin He immediately decided that two large fish ponds must be dug, one at the foot of the mountain and one near the breeding area.

These two places were also specially selected by Lin He, and they happened to cover the entire farm area evenly.

It roughly divides the farm into three parts with similar distances. These two fish ponds are exactly on the two dividing lines.

Raising fish and watering the land are both equally important.

As for the pig pen, it was designed by Lin He in the style of a pig farm that he had seen in his previous life. The ventilation effect is very good, which is the most important. It is also two-story, and pig grass can be stacked on top.

This is more than 1000 acres of sweet potato land. Dried sweet potato vines are the main food for pigs after winter. Of course, the distiller's grains after brewing are indispensable. They can also be dried and stored for later use to feed pigs or even chickens. of.

However, don’t feed too much at a time, as it may get drunk easily.

As Lin He arranged things in an orderly manner, the farm managers also began to be busy, looking for people to work everywhere for no other reason.

While it would take several days for the sweet potatoes to be dug, many tenant farmers were roped in to do part-time labor, the kind that Lin He personally promised to pay.

Oh, by the way, all the rice, corn, peanuts, soybeans and other grains they originally planted in their own fields have also been harvested.

The steward found the account books from previous years, compared them one by one, and left the tenants with the same amount of grain as last year, and the rest was received by Lin Zhai.

After all, nine out of ten of the land this year will be planted with sweet potatoes, and all the sweet potatoes, forest crops, and crops will be needed, and then they will be subsidized one-to-one according to the grain they distributed in previous years.

Because there was less grain grown, and the tenants left the same amount of grain as in previous years, the total that was finally delivered to Lin Zhai was only over 1000 kilograms.

Lin He didn't care, as long as he had enough to eat, he could still buy it if he didn't have enough. Just re-sow the seeds next year and make more varieties.

She planted so many sweet potatoes this year with the idea of ​​seizing the opportunity. In addition, during this period, almost every few days, all the sweet potatoes in the field must be warmed and cultivated with spiritual power.

Even if it only lasts for two or three months, she can guarantee that this wine is definitely better than ordinary wine.

As far as she knew, the news that sweet potatoes could be used to brew wine had been leaked since the brewery was built.

This is not surprising. He built a brewery outside the city, and strangely planted so many sweet potatoes. Anyone with a little bit of brains can connect the two.

So now, even if the sweet potatoes haven't been dug yet, the price has secretly started to rise. As a result, Lin He's more than 1000 acres of sweet potato land is a real commodity.

Lin He was busy here, and the queen on the other side actually started her pastoral life when Lin He left her to go about her business.

She specially asked someone to open a small piece of land for her, and even asked the emperor, the two would-be emperors and queen mothers, to actually learn to grow vegetables.
