The Princess of Northern Land

Forget it, she was too kind and forgot that this was not a legal society under the red flag. Here, not to mention the North, the entire Great Qin, or looking at all countries, slaves are the lowest class of people. How can there be any such thing as private property?

At worst, I can just give more wages to the servants at home from now on.

"When the weather gets warmer, within a month everyone can work half a day and take half a day off. Of course, wages and bonuses will also be reduced accordingly. Those who are willing to work half a day can work half a day, and those who are willing to work full day can work full day. It's up to them to choose." Lin Ziyin said.

"Yes, girl." Qiaoer weakly agreed.

After hearing this, Red Tassel and Green Luo sighed secretly. Miss Lin is still a little too soft-hearted. According to them, it is better to use private slaves at home. This will save the situation in the future where villagers will be thinking about their families while going to work.

And if the villagers have cultivated a lot of land, they will definitely take care of the fields during the holidays, whether planting or harvesting. Over the course of a year, the business in the workshop will definitely be affected.

The old man and Lin Changshu also agreed with Lin Ziyin's approach. Farmers still care about their fields. In their opinion, the villagers' concern for the land is reasonable.

The villagers who go to work have always been uneasy. To be honest, if the Lin family does not give everyone a holiday, everyone may feel unhappy, but certainly no one will want to lose their job. How many crops can be grown in an acre of land, but in the Lin family, as long as you work diligently, you can earn two taels of silver a month. Two taels of silver is equivalent to a year's income from five acres of land.

Which one is more important or less important? The villagers all have a weighing scale in their minds.

Fortunately, Lin Jiarenyi was willing to give everyone a holiday, and also gave everyone two options to choose from.

"I think it's better to go to the market and hire a few people to open up wasteland. The money from the work will be enough to hire people. And it will save energy." As soon as Li Zheng returned home, Mrs. Zhang pulled him and said.

"Yes, Dad, I think so too." Wu Dayou answered from the side, while Wei Shi stood guard carefully. She was also worried that her father-in-law would insist on her to open up wasteland. Opening up wasteland is tiring and dirty, not because she is not diligent, but because there is clearly light work to do, so why are her family tired?

"Don't whisper, I've thought about it a long time ago." Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Our family, including an elder and a child, has seven people, and we can open more than fifty acres of land. But I don't plan to open so much at one time. Everyone has to work, and if too much land is cultivated, we won’t be able to handle it.”

"No, we already have more than ten acres of land at home. If we add another fifty acres, our family will be sleeping in the fields all day and night, and we won't be able to take care of it at that time." Mrs. Zhang nodded and said.

"Dad, as long as you have enough to eat, you have to pay taxes for farming. The crops that have just been reclaimed are not good, so it's very troublesome." Wu Eryou didn't even want to open up wasteland for farming. Work well in the workshop, save effort and earn more money.

"I'll ask Ziyin to see how much land is suitable for cultivation." Li Zheng said habitually.

"You are so confused." Mrs. Zhang grabbed him, "Why are you bothering Ziyin about family matters?"

"What am I asking about?" Li Zheng said unhappily, "You don't understand. That girl is very smart. When the time comes, you can plant whatever you want in the field. It's right to follow her."

"Okay, you can ask if you want, but don't delay Ziyin's important event. Don't you see that girl is so busy that she hasn't lived in years?" Mrs. Zhang warned him.

"I just asked, and it won't take too long." Li Zheng patted himself and walked out.
