Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 153 We Are Landlords

"Thank you two uncles..." Su Yun carefully stuffed the land deed of 460 mu of barren land and the deed of [-] mu of mountain land into his bosom, bowing his body with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Su Shi, it is a very good thing that you want to reclaim wasteland. The county magistrate was very happy to hear about this. In order to commend your sincerity, the mountain land is like a gift to you. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and serve you well." Tian Di, after the spring sowing, the old parents will come to your house in person to reward you."

Lu Shuwen stroked his beard with joy on his face.It would be a good thing to put such a thing on any family's head.Therefore, he no longer cares about Su Yun's small actions before, and his tone is much more kind. He even showed a little appreciation when he looked at Su Yun.

"Are the old parents coming?"

Su Yun was a little taken aback after receiving the contract just now, is it worth the county lord to come and reward her in person for opening up a wilderness?
Seeing the confusion on Su Yun's face, Lu Shuqing smiled and said: "This country has always encouraged land reclamation, this is a great achievement, and the face of old parents is also honored, you have earned face for our Lu family this time. , It’s a great achievement. When you go back to Gongzhong to get some rice and farm tools, it’s a reward from the clan.”

Su Yun lowered his head, rolled his eyeballs a few times, and instantly understood the twists and turns.

In ancient times, due to the insufficient development of agricultural tools, it was very costly to open up wasteland.Not to mention the large investment, and the effect is slow, the returns in the first three years are particularly small.

It is not an easy task to open up wasteland. Without the help of large tools, it has to be dug out manually with one hoe and one hoe.Not only do we have to remove those weed roots, but we also have to dig out all kinds of small stones and stones in the soil. In the first year, it is almost impossible to grow anything.

So many people have been recruited to open up wasteland, and the grain here cannot be harvested, but this person needs to eat, and this alone costs a lot of money.

Moreover, farm tools are very expensive to open up wasteland, and the farm tools have to be repaired after several visits, which is another large sum of money.In summary, there are fewer and fewer people who want to open up wasteland, especially those gentry, who would rather squeeze the tenants than spend the money.

So now that a fool like Su Yun is willing to open up wasteland, the magistrate of the county is naturally overjoyed.When it comes to the Ministry of Households assessment at the end of the year, this is a solid achievement!

What does this mean?It shows that the people under the rule of the Tailord in this county are honest, the gentry are polite, and they are willing to open up wasteland and farm. This is not an ordinary political achievement.Moreover, Su Yun opened up a lot of wasteland, and added more than 400 mu of mountain land. Compared with the wasteland, there are even fewer people who are willing to contract mountains and forests.

When the magistrate of the county heard about this, his brows were filled with joy, and with a flick of a pen, the matter was approved.And this land was bestowed by the emperor to the Lu family, and Su Yun is also the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, so all of them are prosperous, so this glory will naturally be added to the Lu family.

But the county lord platform has made great achievements, and this country of Liang puts a lot of emphasis on farming, so no matter what, he has to show his attitude and come to commend him in person.

At this moment, Su Yun thought everything through, and now she finally understood why these old ghosts were so kind this time.

With 460 mu of land plus 600 mu of mountain land, I received 1062 taels of silver from myself, and I also gave myself the bamboo forest. After going back and forth, I have [-] mu of land in my hands, which will be left to future generations. I am a proper landlord.

Of course, in this era, she can be considered a landlady with a small family fortune, if one ignores that there is still a barren land.

"Two uncles, Sanniang opened up wasteland and cultivated land without the help of the two uncles. Sanniang saw that there are still many children who have no livelihood in this clan. Uncle, do you think?"

Su Yun went through everything in his mind, and then made his own request.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face with your hand.Regardless of the character of these old ghosts, they are polite, and I am also polite.After all, this is an era in which the world is governed by "propriety and law", and disrespect for the elderly is a serious crime.

"Just make arrangements. If you have any difficulties, just come to us." Lu Shuwen said proudly: "Cultivating cattle is a must for opening up wasteland and farming. When the busy farming is over, you can take the cattle with you."

Su Yun opened his mouth, damn, his attitude is really different before and after this.After thinking about it, Su Yun suddenly had an idea, and Su Yun felt that he had realized it.

After all, these two uncles are the kind of people who care about face.They are obsessed with protecting the face of the Lu family in Yunzhou as their duty, if they start from this aspect...

Thinking of this, Su Yunfu made a salute and said with a smile: "Sanniang was ignorant before, and I hope that the two uncles will take care of me. From now on, Sanniang will definitely take it as her duty to protect the face of the Lu family, and the brothers will definitely give it to her. If they go to study, if they can win a Juren and a Jinshi in the future, it will be an honor for our Lu family!"

"It's good if you can think so!" Seeing that Su Yun is so well-behaved, Lu Shuqing couldn't help nodding his head in relief, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The rich nephew did not behave properly, you child is also stubborn. Some. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. We two old guys are not trying to make things difficult for you, but to let you understand that you are already a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and you are all prosperous. Even if you remarry in the future, these children It's still the blood of the Lu family."

"Well, that's not bad." Lu Shuwen stroked his beard and continued, "Even if you remarry in the future, you can just leave, but what about these children? Without the help of the tribe, even if you are an official , That's not easy to walk. Su Shi, I think you are also a smart person, and your heart is not bad, don't be so impulsive again in the future. "

"Yes, the two uncles taught me that Sanniang knew she was wrong."

Su Yunfu bowed his body, and sighed again: "Although it is not a gentleman's actions to say that people are right and wrong behind their backs, it's just that uncle... well, Sanniang was also out of breath, and she did such things in a moment of confusion. This uncle is so tolerant, Sanniang has no other intentions, she just wants to live a peaceful life and bring up a few children, so she can be considered worthy of the dead husband, as well as her parents-in-law..."

When Su Yun said this, he still lowered his head in a gesture of wiping away tears. Lu Shuwen and Lu Shuqing couldn't help sighing when they saw it, and they comforted each other: "If you have this heart, I will be satisfied. I will also see what you have done in the past. Li, I know you are a good man, if the rich nephew hadn't been deceived by this greed, how could he do such a lowly thing?"

"This time, open up wasteland and farm, you can do it boldly and confidently. As long as you behave yourself, whoever dares to bully your orphans and widows in the future, come to my place, and the two uncles will definitely make decisions for you!"

When Su Yun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you two uncles for your kindness in protecting us. Sanniang will live in peace, take good care of the fields, and raise the children."

"Hmm..." Lu Shuqing finally showed a smile on his face, waved his hands and said: "This is the best, you can step back first. Oh, by the way, you guys still have to read this book, Ethnology is about to start, so you can send some brothers to study..."
