The Legend of the Farm Girl

Before the caravan set off, Yunfang had already selected some land. These lands were not suitable for cultivation, so Yunfang bought them at a very low price.

Although it is not time to plant wheat yet, alfalfa is not picky about the environment in which it grows. If you plant it now, you will be able to produce enough alfalfa to feed the sheep in a month.

Yunfang did not let these 200 people grow alfalfa, which was a waste of manpower. Yunfang gave them a few days to rest and then continued to go to various places to buy and sell goods.

Yunfang posted a notice recruiting fifty farmers to help her grow alfalfa and feed her lambs.

This recruitment would only take one month, and Yunfang offered a price of one hundred coins.

There was no age or gender restriction for this recruitment, and the only requirement was experience in feeding lambs. All of a sudden, almost everyone in Liangzhou City wanted to do this job.

Because it is the slack season for farmers, if a farmer can earn this 100 coins, it will be a windfall for every farmer's family.

In the end, there were so many people who wanted to sign up that Yun Fang could only ask Li Muwen to ask the village heads to recommend people. In the end, these fifty people were almost all experts in farming and breeding in their respective villages.

It would be a bit of a waste of talent to let these fifty people simply grow alfalfa and feed some lambs, but this is all the work Yun Fang has at hand now. However, if she can really go to the other side of the ocean in the future and bring back some new seeds, these people will be able to play a greater role.

It took these people only two days to plant the land that Yunfang bought with the alfalfa seeds brought back by the caravan.

They felt a little uneasy about the 100 coins they received. They had never thought that planting alfalfa was such a simple job, as they only needed to spread the seeds without watering or digging holes.

So in the days that followed, they took great care to feed the lambs, with each of the fifty people getting an average of 16 lambs. In addition to the fodder Yunfang provided them, they would also dig some dead grass to feed the lambs themselves.

A month later, the alfalfa had grown very well, bringing a lot of green vitality to the barren land of Liangzhou.

And the eight hundred lambs, under the careful care of these fifty people, survived tenaciously even though they only ate some dry grass with low nutritional value.

When all the sheep were driven to the land where alfalfa was grown, Liangzhou City underwent earth-shaking changes.

In addition to edible meat, these sheep also produce wool. Yunfang has learned a lot of textile knowledge about wool products in the system. She plans to set up a wool workshop and then produce distinctive wool products.

Moreover, mutton has a fishy smell, and not many people eat mutton nowadays. Most farmers' families do not have much oil and water, and mutton is good for them, but they can never sell it at a high price. Yunfang has her own preparations on how to increase the public's acceptance of mutton.

She learned a lot about how to eat mutton deliciously in the system, and finally she decided to launch a delicious sauerkraut mutton hotpot in Liangzhou City.

She also learned how to pickle sauerkraut in the system. The winter in Liangzhou City was very long and the people did not have much good food. Even last winter, Yunfeng and Yunying sent her a lot of food, which allowed her to spend her pregnancy safely.

If you can pickle sauerkraut, it can be a good delicacy, and sauerkraut lamb hotpot can effectively resist the cold.

As time passed, the development of Liangzhou City was proceeding step by step according to Yunfang's plan.

The capital of Liangzhou was being run better and better by Yunfang and Li Muwen. The people of the other three counties could no longer sit still.

Wang Shan is an ordinary citizen in Yuzhong County. His family is simple, with sixty-year-old parents, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son and daughter are married, and the youngest son is ten years old this year.

Like most families, his family sold the land to the local big family, the Song family, for various reasons. The Song family asked them for 70% of the rent every year.

But this also has an advantage, they no longer have to pay taxes to the government.

Although 70% of the rent is indeed a bit high, the various taxes they paid in the past were no lower than this 70% of the rent.

The income from the remaining 30% of the land was only enough for their family to barely make ends meet.

The eldest son was able to get married only because that family had a son of similar age who also had no money to marry, so he married his daughter to that son in exchange for a wife for the eldest son.

Fortunately, the two families are quite familiar with each other, so the eldest daughter will not be bullied if she marries into the family.

But when it came to his youngest son, Wang Shan was a little worried. His youngest son is already ten years old this year and it will be time for him to get married in a few years. But how can he save enough for the betrothal gift for his youngest son?

When Wang Shan was feeling very worried, he heard his daughter come back and say that their family was going to move to Liangzhou City. A Yun's wool textile workshop had been opened in Liangzhou City, and the products produced were sold all over the country by Yun's Trading Company.

Now the Yun's Company is raising more and more sheep, and needs more and more workers. The Yun's Company is also recruiting. My daughter can try the wool textile workshop, and my son-in-law can try the Yun's Company to see if he can be hired. Even if he can't be hired, I heard that there are many other types of shops opened in Liangzhou City. You can try them. The wages are not low, and the money you earn in a year is much more than being a tenant now.

It is said that under the governance of the newly appointed governor Li, the political situation in Liangzhou is clear and no one dares to do evil.

Wang Shan's daughter tentatively asked her parents if they wanted to go with her, so that her younger brother could have a place to get a betrothal gift. And the two families could help each other.

Wang Shan only said that he would ask his eldest son's opinion before giving his daughter an answer, but deep down he had already decided to accompany his daughter to Liangzhou City to try his luck.

After asking the eldest son, he said that he had also heard the rumor. He said that there was vitality and opportunities everywhere in Liangzhou City. The young boy had long been yearning for it, but since his grandparents and parents had never mentioned it, he did not mention it either.

Now that Wang Shan took the initiative to ask, he was very excited and nodded quickly to say that he wanted to go with him.

The distance from Yuzhong County to Liangzhou Prefecture would take about three days to walk on foot.

But they were longing for the beauty of Liangzhou City, so they resolutely brought all their belongings to Liangzhou City.

Of course, having been tenants for many years, they didn’t have much.

There are many families like Wang Shan in the three counties. The news they heard was actually spread by Yun Fang and Li Muwen.
