The Reborn Wife is Farming

New dishes were quickly brought out, all meat dishes.

If it weren't for the presence of others in the private room, Mu Yangling would have supported his forehead, and then beat Qi Haoran violently, which is really embarrassing.

It's okay to lose face, but it was thrown in front of Fang Zhifu.

Master Fang politely invited Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling to eat, and even Xiuhong Xiulan and Bowen who were sitting beside him also greeted them.

He glanced at the blog post appreciatively, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the young master is studying? I don't know which academy he is in?"

Bowen answered respectfully.

"It's not time for the winter break yet, so is the young master here to practice?"

Bowen glanced at his sister and saw that she didn't intend to interfere, so he smiled and said: "Our husband is sick, so he let us go on winter break in advance, and my mother said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and I am not too young. Let me come out with my sister to see it."

Mrs. Fang nodded and said appreciatively: "Mrs. Mu is very kind-hearted. Many people know this truth, but very few are willing to let their children go out. No wonder Miss Mu and the young master are so capable at such a young age, and they are born with a good heart." The heart of the assistant Bodhisattva, it turned out to be taught by such a loving mother."

Mu Yangling couldn't help coughing twice, now even Xiulan could tell that Fang Zhifu wanted something from them.

If you don't ask clearly about this, I'm afraid the meal will not taste good no matter how you eat it.

Mu Yangling put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "My lord has given you too much credit. I don't know why your lord invited us here this time?"

"Uh..." Fang Zhifu didn't expect Mu Yangling to be so direct, he hesitated for a moment, and asked cheekily: "I heard that Miss Mu's cattle farm is going to expand?"

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile, "I would like to thank Mr. Fang, because you gave us 500 mu of land for the cattle farm, so I decided to expand the scale."

Fang Zhifu said with a smile: "In fact, this scale can still be expanded..."

"Lord Fang, I plan to raise a thousand cows now. This is a huge expense. I won't be able to afford it no matter how old I am. Besides, the land is also a problem."

"The land is not a problem," Fang Zhifu immediately said with a smile: "Miss Mu, to the west and twenty miles north of your cattle farm, there is no one on that land, and those lands are now under the name of the imperial court. If you don’t worry about it, I will sign a contract with you, and I will never use that piece of land for ten years, nor will I sell or rent it, how about it?”

Now even Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, Qi Haoran turned his head to look at the two of them carefully, didn't they look alike? Shouldn't it be the wrong child or the lost father and daughter?

Mu Yangling never believed that the world would fall into the pie, she asked more carefully: "I don't know what the conditions of Mr. Fang are?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Master Fang said with a smile: "If Miss Mu expands the cattle farm, it will definitely require a lot of workers to help mow the grass, right? I happen to have 6,000 people on hand, how about asking them to help you? Don’t ask Miss Mu to treat them too favorably, as long as this is enough, she will be responsible for their three meals a day, and a catty of food for each person every day is enough, whether it is corn kernels or black flour.”

Mu Yangling stammered: "Lord Fang, even if I expand the cattle farm, it won't take 6,000 people?"

"That's right," Xiuhong took the conversation and said worriedly, "And we still have to save money to buy calves. We don't have enough money to buy calves. How can we feed 6,000 people?"

"This is Miss Mu's business, Miss Mu, this condition is only available now, it will be different after spring, and now Hanzhong Mansion has gradually settled down, and there will be more and more immigrants in the future, so this land It will only become more and more expensive, and I have taken a big risk to make a ten-year promise." Fang Zhifu said: "I know that Miss Mu has great ambitions and skills. If nothing else, this The cattle farm will definitely expand in the future, but the land has to be bought or rented, not to mention buying, how can it cost thousands of taels of silver to rent this thousands of acres of land for a year?"

Qi Haoran curled his lips, "Prefect Fang, don't bully us. We don't know when we are young. Hanzhong Mansion is a border gate. If you walk twenty miles north of Niuchang, you may meet a golden soldier in three steps. Where will you go to buy land? Even if the other land in Hanzhong Mansion is sold out, I’m afraid that piece of land will not be sold, right?”

Fang Zhifu smiled and said: "Isn't this the fifth battalion of the little general to be stationed there? The barbarians are frightened when they hear the news, why won't they be sold?"

Although Qi Haoran is self-satisfied, he can still distinguish between flattery and reality, "The barbarians lose their courage only after hearing about my elder brother, not me." Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said: "This cow farm Even if it is expanded, it will take 6,000 people ten days and half a month to complete the project."

Fang Zhifu said with a smile: "How can it be so fast? At least one month must be done."

Mu Yangling secretly scolded the old fox, one month, responsible for one day's food, plus one catty of grain a day, the food saved would be enough for these 6,000 people to survive the winter.

It was equivalent to the people Mu Yangling helped them raise for a whole winter. She calculated in her mind that if she had enough money to buy enough calves, it was not impossible, on the contrary, it was very cost-effective.

Mu Yangling glanced at the smiling Fang Zhifu, and felt that he should not be the one to suffer, so he said: "It's not impossible, I will hire them for a month, but Fang Zhifu, the procedures must be completed, I will do things Like to sign a good contract."

"Sure, sure, I will write down the first article in detail when the time comes."

"The first one?" Mu Yangling smiled, and said softly, "I thought it was all the conditions."

Fang Zhifu said with a serious face: "How is this possible? That is the right to use dozens of hectares of land for ten years. Miss Mu, although I don't know about merchants, I can still calculate."

"But Zhifu Fang, no one wants your piece of land right now, unless Da Zhou can take over the Jingzhao Mansion and keep it within five years, after another ten years, someone might buy or rent that piece of land , Don’t say that you are giving me that land now, but in fact, if you don’t give it to me, no one will say anything if I drive my cattle there to graze.”

Fang Zhifu blushed, of course he also knew this, the Han people are different from the Hu people, the Hu people will fight for grassland, but the Han people fight for the land for planting, if the land is not used for planting, the grass growing on it will really be ugly If it belongs to the public, it doesn’t matter if you cut it, or herd sheep and cattle, even if it is set on fire, as long as it doesn’t affect the mountains and forests, no one will say anything.

Unlike the barbarians, those who cross the pasture to graze are shouting and killing.

It was because he knew that the Hu people were too close to that land that no one would want it, so he wanted to exchange it with Mu Yangling for something useful.

For example, helping these 6,000 people survive this winter, for example, the winter clothes she is making for the children in the cattle farm, and the nursery.
