After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space

If he didn't come because he was afraid, it can be seen that he was guilty, but he still came to the court, mainly because he also wanted to know the result. If he was the murderer, he would definitely stand in a dark place to watch the trial. Zhang Erniu's family must want to see him On the one hand, they will stand relatively close, so that the comparison will come out.

Zhang Gen didn't know that the county magistrate had arranged for people to observe secretly. Gao pretended to see Zhang Erniu talking to him. The county magistrate cooperated with her. They all saw Zhang Erniu. Zhang Gen was naturally trembling with fear. County Magistrate Li ordered People grab it.

Zhang Gen confessed. It turned out that Zhang Gen borrowed money from Zhang Erniu to pay off his gambling debts. Zhang Erniu refused, and the two had a dispute. Zhang Gen got angry and beat Zhang Erniu to death with a stone.

There was no one around at that time, so Zhang Erniu ran back to Zhang Erniu's house to find someone, saying that his parents had something to do with him. Later, he returned to the scene of the crime and saw Mr. Gao, and conveniently blamed Mr. Gao.

"Brother Chen, that's awesome." Mu Chaochao gave Ye Huaichen a thumbs up. Once the hall was opened, Zhang Gen could tell that he was the murderer whether he was there or not.

"Your Highness, how did you know that Zhang Gen was the murderer?" Magistrate Li asked.

"Li Zheng said that Zhang Erniu goes to the fields every day at Mao O'clock, and his relatives are from the same village. Isn't it unnecessary for Zhang Gen to go and ask Zhang? Besides, his parents dote on him, so he will naturally give false evidence."

There seems to be no flaw in this case, it’s just that the investigators didn’t think clearly.

"I didn't think deeply about this. I feel ashamed." No wonder His Highness was angry that day. Zhang Gen and Zhang Erniu were related, and no one in the Yamen had thought of this.

“You need to think more carefully when handling cases in the future.”

"Yes, Your Highness, please keep this in mind."

Mu Chaochao looked at Ye Huaichen funny, thinking that everyone was him, and would be able to detect clues after hearing this.

"Master Li, have you found the people to open up the wasteland? I put the fertilizer on the carriage." Considering the lack of water, she made more than a dozen large tanks of liquid and solid fertilizer. Yesterday, she walked around the wasteland, but she put the spiritual spring water in it. of.

"Little girl, I found five hundred people as you requested. They are all villagers from nearby Neihe Village and Haitang Village."

People who suffered from drought were idle at home. As soon as they said they could make money, a large number of people came over immediately. The population in the west of the city was not more than 500 households, so County Magistrate Li arranged the labor force according to the family size.

"Then we should be able to finish planting today." The soil is too alkaline and no grass can grow. There are not many other impurities other than soil quality.

"I released the list yesterday. Many people came with their poultry and livestock early in the morning. Little girl, why don't you go and take a look first."

"Okay." As soon as he left the county government gate, the sounds of various animals were mixed.

The people were waiting there consciously, including chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and cattle. An hour had passed by the time Mu Chaochao finished processing, and there were twenty cattle. Mu Chaochao was satisfied, and the guards drove the animals away to watch. Before reaching the Yamen, Mu Chaochao retreated into the space.

Then he and Ye Huaichen got on the carriage and set off. When they arrived at the wasteland, there were already many villagers waiting with farm tools, including men, women, old and young. Mu Chaochao gave them eighty cents for a day's work. The most they could do was to work in the city for a day. Forty coins, many people want to come.

Mu Chaochao got out of the carriage wearing a curtain and asked someone to take the fertilizer. The villagers poured the fertilizer and dug the ground.

The well digging site also started to be built. Mu Chaochao and Ye Huaichen looked around to see what the villagers were doing. They handed out a bamboo stick to those who were satisfied with it. The villagers were confused and accepted it with a smile, and soon there were two hundred bamboo sticks. The bamboo sticks have been issued.

The two returned to the carriage and entered the space to collect food.

"Brother Chen, will the drought in Xining be worse than in Fengyang now?"

"It's hard to say. Part of Xining's water source is snow water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains." Ye Huaichen paused and said, "If there is no food and grass, it will be difficult to maintain the 200,000-strong army on the border."

"Alas! The imperial court's delivery of grain and fodder is too slow."

"Sister Chaochao, I don't know how long the drought will last. If multiple counties are affected by the disaster, the iron ore in space will probably have to be used to calm the people."

"That's good! Brother Chen, you find some blacksmiths to make weapons. I also want to make a set of surgical knives."

"Okay, I'll find someone powerful for you."

"Where can I find it?" Does anyone know the Seventh Prince in Xining?

"Coming from the capital." Ye Huaichen said with an evil smile.

Mu Chaochao: It seems that this person is very familiar with Brother Chen.

Since the drought, Mu Chaochao has planted more coarse grains. As long as the people save water, there will be no problem in feeding the entire northwest.

By the time they came out, it was almost noon. A hundred acres of land had been plowed, and the villagers were all drinking the herbal water prepared by Mu Chaochao.

"Villagers, please go back and rest first, and come back after noon."

"Okay, boss." Because there were so many people, people who were accustomed to farm work didn't feel too tired. Everyone went back to rest. After noon, it was time to sow seeds.

After Mu Chaochao returned to the county government office, shopkeeper Xu came with ten clerks to report that the store had been taken care of. Two of the ten clerks were waiters in the teahouse.

Mu Chaochao saw that their faces were straight, asked a few questions, and was very satisfied. Shopkeeper Xu was very efficient. Mu Chaochao was satisfied. It seemed that she could rest assured that this place was left to Shopkeeper Xu.

We found a truck at the county government office, and a few people took some coarse grains back.

Mu Chaochao from the planting area came over after a while, and the guard who was observing secretly in the wasteland came over and reported: "Miss, all the people holding bamboo sticks came after noon. After they came, they all dug up the ground with hoes."

"Are any of these people suitable to be stewards?"

"My subordinates saw that the smiling Xibo knew better, and many people believed him."

"Okay." Mu Chaochao had some impression of the smiling Xi Bo. He looked like an optimistic person. Mu Chaochao didn't choose people based on age. He chose people who were down-to-earth and willing to work.

Mu Chaochao gave them corn seeds to sow. The villagers had never seen corn before, so everyone held it in their hands to look at it.

"This is corn seed, a kind of drought-resistant grain with high yield. If you plant it well in the future, you will all have corn to eat, and the entire Tianqi Kingdom will have corn to eat. We are the first batch to grow corn here. I hope everyone Good job."

After Mu Chaochao finished speaking, he took out a stick of corn and said, "This is grown corn. Corn is imported from overseas. It can be steamed, roasted, and stewed. Do you want to grow such good corn?"

"Plant! Plant! Plant! Plant!" The villagers were excited.

"We are actually the first ones to plant it."

"Folks, whether we can have corn to eat depends on our hands. Let's use our hands." Xi Bo encouraged everyone with a smile.

"Move it, move it, move it."

With their morale up, they started planting in Youshi, and Mu Chaochao paid them wages.

"The two hundred people who got the bamboo sticks will stay today. The others can go back first."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Mu Chaochao was going to do? Many people stayed to watch, but Mu Chaochao did not chase them away.

"I have seen your performance today. I am very satisfied with your hard work. This cornfield belongs to the Seventh Prince. I, Mu Chaochao, officially hire you to plant corn."

"Ah! The seventh prince's land hires us?"

"Really? Let's plant this land?"

"Why wasn't I chosen?"

"I want to stay too."

"Yes, this place will be called Chaoxi Plantation from now on. Xi Bo, you will be in charge."

"I'm in charge!" Xi Bo said in surprise.

"Xi Bo, do you know the characters?" Mu Chaochao asked with a smile.

"I know." Xi Bo nodded.

"Then it's perfect for you to be the manager. Tell the villagers the rules." Mu Chaochao handed him an employee handbook.

"Folks, if you grow corn here, I will give you one tael of silver a month. If you do well, you will also get a commission reward. There is an employment contract here, which needs to be signed and sealed. I hope you can do your job well."

Two hundred people working on a hundred acres of land was not much more in ancient times. Mu Chaochao thought that they also had their own land to cultivate, so it would be good to find more people to reserve labor force.

"One tael, it's so easy and simple to get one tael, it's great."

"Don't say just one tael, I'm willing to pay even 500 yuan."

"With one or two, our family doesn't have to go hungry."

"In addition to one or two, there are rewards for doing well."

"We do! We do!"

"Okay, then Xi Bo will be the steward here from now on, and you have to follow his arrangements."

"Good! Good!"

"This is a method of cultivating corn. You teach it to everyone." Mu Chaochao wrote down the methods of cultivating corn on paper, and the cultivation of corn was considered to have spread.

"Yes, boss." Xi Bo read the contract and signed it as he thought there was nothing wrong with it. After explaining the contents of the contract to the villagers, they all also signed their fingerprints.

"Xi Bo, you build a warehouse here and two rest huts, and arrange for two people to guard them together every day. The store in the town will open tomorrow. You and shopkeeper Xu must cooperate well in the future."

"Yes, Master."

Mu Chaochao's plantation started running like this.
