The Reborn Lady is Farming
Chapter 295: bitter
Mu Yangling gave the herdsman five taels of silver, and he took them around in various villages, and his family wanted to help them look after the sheep they bought.
The herdsmen couldn't ask for anything, so they didn't need Mu Yangling's instructions, and directly said to the family, "I think Miss Mu wants to continue this business for a long time, you better not neglect her, otherwise this errand will not fall on me next time. "
His family was very proud and happy that he could gain Mu Yangling's trust, so they patted their chests and assured that they would take good care of the sheep and feed them fat and white.
Then Mu Yangling officially started the acquisition journey with the mule and the trolley it pulled.
Mu Yangling asked the herdsmen to take her to a relatively poor village. The herdsmen said that except for some rich households and landlords, all these eight townships were poor. Before the Hu people came in, everyone had a good life.
Compared with Hanzhong Mansion, which is located on a plain, the land is fairly fertile, and it is many times stronger than that of Xingzhou Mansion. Therefore, although the people in it are also poor, their life is really good. can get through.
But as soon as the Hu people came in, the first thing they did was rob their homes. At that time, the wealthy households and some landlords also robbed them all, and because their land was well-known, some landlords’ land was directly taken by the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom. It's circled, and now I don't say it's a death, but it's certain that the family is broken.
Xiuhong hurriedly asked, "What about the common people? Don't those Hu people occupy the common people's land?"
"Why don't you take it?" The herdsman sighed, "It doesn't matter what it is, the common people are the ones who suffer the most and benefit the least. The two girls are still young, so maybe they didn't know about Hanzhong Mansion four or five years ago. When the barbarians come in, burn, kill and loot, how can that be described as a miserable word? In addition, the powerful and powerful later encircled the land and drove away the ordinary people and villages on the ground. What happened to those people now? All of them became refugees, Otherwise, if you run into the mountains and become a bandit, only three or two can find relatives for refuge."
"So why did everyone keep silent when the little general came in? Even if they were able to help covertly, they would help? In this Hanzhong mansion, all Han people would have grudges against the gang of barbarians. Okay, next year when the plough is opened for farming, the grain can be harvested again," the herdsmen said very happily, "General Qi said that as soon as he came in, he said that the tax will be exempted next year, and the official documents from the court two days ago have also come down. , next year, the people of our Hanzhong Mansion will be exempted from tax."
Mu Yangling gave a strong laugh, afraid to tell him that there might be a drought next year.
The peasants have always been the weakest, but also the toughest. They always think of resistance at the end, but they can always carry those disasters and move forward step by step in this difficult world.
Mu Yangling is just a small person, all she can do is to help them as much as she can.
While Mu Yangling was thinking, the herdsmen pointed to the village in front and said, "Miss Mu, we're here. My uncle's house is in this village. They don't have many sheep, but they are all good..."
This village is obviously more dilapidated than the herdsman's village. At this time, adults are peeling the bark on the mountain, women and children sleep on the kang and cover the quilt, and the herdsman takes them directly to his uncle's house.
However, his aunt could only lie on the kang and talk to him, because life was so hard, they were reluctant to kill the sheep, so they could only use the three sets of cotton-padded clothes at home as two sets, leaving one set to wear. , so she could only lie on the kang in summer clothes, covered with a quilt, and talk to Mu Yangling.
But obviously, the two sets of patched cotton-padded coats didn't get much money back, so they still go into the mountains to peel the bark every day.
Mu Yangling was worried about whether those trees could survive the winter without their bark.
Hearing that Mu Yangling was here to collect sheep, and he also gave out two taels of silver, his aunt couldn’t help getting up from the kang, and she was going to open a fence for Mu Yangling to select sheep.
Mu Yangling hurriedly held her down and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this moment. If you get up and catch a cold, you will have to spend money on medicine."
His aunt said anxiously, "Girl, I'm fine, even if I roll twice in the snow, it's fine."
Mu Yangling doesn't believe it, how good can his body be if he can't eat enough or wear warm clothes?
She held down his aunt and asked the herdsmen to go up the mountain to call his uncle back, and by the way, call back the villagers.
The herdsmen ran out immediately, and within a quarter of an hour, there was a "bang" from the door, and a group of big men ran in panting, seeing Mu Yangling and Xiuhong sitting in the main room were a little disappointed. Half-aged children, or girls, how many sheep can they take?
Although Mu Yangling and Xiuhong have always been dressed simply and neatly when they are outside, the hair comb is a girl's head, plus the size and appearance are placed there, everyone knows it is a girl at a glance.
The reason why Mu Yangling doesn't disguise as a man is because the North has little restraint on women, and the second is because she wants people around her, even those she comes into contact with, to think that it is only natural for girls to go out and do errands. At present, it seems that the effect is not bad, although everyone still looks down on her when they see that she is a girl.
Mu Yangling knew what they were thinking at a glance, she didn't explain, and said directly: "You uncles came back from the mountains, right? It's just that, I'm short on time, so let's make a long story short, I have to choose the sheep's whiskers I collect. No matter how big or small, it will always be two taels of silver."
The herdsman's uncle asked nervously, "How many are Mu's going to accept?"
"Let's take a look first, it's not known yet." Mu Yangling didn't want to tell them the bottom line.
Although his uncle was a little disappointed, he still warmly welcomed Mu Yangling to the fence of his house, and the villagers followed closely.
The herdsmen are right. The sheep in this village are more fatter than those in their village. Perhaps it is because of the poverty and the small quantity. Mu Yangling is also happy. Seeing that his sheep are very energetic, he wants them all.
Eighteen sheep, a total of thirty-six taels of silver, and Mu Yangling paid him two pieces of silver on the spot.
The herdsman's uncle obviously didn't expect to get so much silver so quickly, and he didn't regain his senses for a while while holding the silver, but the other villagers were boiling, and they all surrounded Mu Yangling, wanting to take her to the fence of their own house to see.
Mu Yangling shouted, "Where's your village chief?"
An old man squeezed in hard, raised his hand and said, "I, I am the village chief, I am the village chief."
Mu Yangling pushed out the young and middle-aged people who had squeezed in with one hand. Some of them made big moves. Mu Yangling directly lifted them up and threw them out of the encirclement.
She had mastered her strength, but she was still on the thick snow again. It was okay for people to roll twice on the snow, but people were terrified and sat on the snow in a daze.
The crowd finally quieted down, and a lousy old man from the village chief finally squeezed in. He looked at Mu Yangling breathlessly and said enthusiastically, "Miss Mu, don't mind, don't mind, the children are all excited, this The first time someone came to the village to collect sheep, it was so exciting."
