The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Chapter 313: Village Master Shen, can you leave some more for us?

Shen Jing touched his head and said to Shen Ruolan: "Master, I heard that they can harvest about 100,000 kilograms of grain every autumn."

After Shen Jing finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at his sister, fearing that she would dislike him for being too mean.

Shen Ruolan heard that they still had more than 100,000 kilograms of grain in their fields. She took a short rest and said to Shen Jing, "Go call a few villagers and ask them to take us to their fields to have a look."

"Yes, master." After Shen Jing finished speaking, he found two villagers, brought a group of guards, and followed his sister to the field.

Shen Ruolan looked at the fields around the village as she walked. The terrain was indeed flatter than her Fu Village, but it was still somewhat different from what Duan Ye had said.

Half an hour later, the villagers led Shen Ruolan over two mountains and pointed to the fields below and said, "Girl, these are all the fields in our village."

After listening to the villagers' words, Shen Ruolan walked forward and looked in the direction the villagers pointed. Just one glance was enough to shock her.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a golden countryside surrounding a huge lake, which spreads out in all directions like a large round mirror with a gold frame. It is extremely beautiful.

But this is not the point. The point is that this piece of farmland, she estimated it roughly, is at least about two thousand acres, very flat, with almost no higher terraces to be seen. It is really an extremely rare Feng Shui treasure land.

Looking into the distance, Shen Ruolan saw the endless flat grassland. She asked the villagers, "Isn't it still very flat ahead? Why doesn't your boss continue to open up the wasteland?"

Shen Ruolan now saw the 100,000 acres of land that Duan Ye mentioned. Not to mention other places, if the plain in front of her was reclaimed, 200,000 acres of land would be no less than 200,000 acres.

And she really liked this place.

It only takes her two years to open up the wasteland here. After two years, not only will she be able to provide everyone with enough food to eat, but there will also be more surplus food, so they will no longer have to worry about food.

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the villagers told her the truth: "Girl, our boss said that if we dig too much, firstly, we will be too busy to handle it, and secondly, we need to leave some land for the wild buffaloes, otherwise, they will come to eat our rice fields."

After Shen Ruolan heard what the villagers said, she looked at him fiercely and asked, "Did you just say that there are a herd of wild buffaloes here? What kind of buffaloes are they?"

She is short of cattle in the mountains now. If there really are cattle here, she would really want to find a way to get a few back.

She had visited Yan State before and had not had time to look for cows because she was being chased along the way. Therefore, there is not a single cow in her mountain now.

The villager didn't understand why Shen Ruolan was so excited. He touched his head and said to her with a dry smile, "It's a wild yellow cattle. It's very fierce."

Shen Ruolan was even more satisfied when she heard that it was cattle. She looked at the villagers and asked, "Do you know where they usually move around?"

The villager said, "They are just ahead of the grassland. It will take about two days on foot."

Shen Ruolan looked at the endless grassland and nodded to the villagers, "Yes, I know. Let's go back first."

"Yes," the villagers responded.

In the next few days, Shen Ruolan arranged for Ji Han and others to catch wild yellow cattle, while she helped the people in the village treat their injuries and went up the mountain to collect herbs.

After many days of collecting herbs and observing, Shen Ruolan learned a lot about the terrain of the Beinan Mountains.

As they walked up the Beinan Mountain towards their Fuzhai, they went higher and higher up the mountain, and the forest became deeper and deeper, and it became even more dangerous inside.

If you walk out of the plain that she observed that day, you will reach the borders of several neighboring countries. Because there is a turbulent river in the middle, the villagers from other countries are very reluctant to come to this place, so the boss got a great bargain.

On this day, the injuries of the heads of the clans had mostly healed. Shen Ruolan handed the written agreement to them and said, "Heads of the clans, your injuries have almost healed. It's time to sign this agreement."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the head of the family looked at the agreement in silence for a while, and said to Shen Ruolan: "Master Shen, can't you wait a few more days?"

Shen Ruolan said, "No, I have something urgent to do and need to go back to the village. I must get everything done today."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the eldest master was troubled for a long time before he looked at the third master and said, "Third brother, you can read. Can you take a look at what is written here?"

In his entire village, except Ruanshan, no one can read, which is why he is willing to let him be the third in command.

After hearing what the boss said, the third boss glanced at Shen Ruolan and said to the boss, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he took the agreement from Shen Ruolan's hand and read it carefully.

The Third Chief thought the terms and conditions were ok, but when he saw that Shen Ruolan was going to send people into the mountains to open up wasteland and take away their 600,000 kilograms of grain, he stood up suddenly and said, "What? Village Chief Shen, you want to send people into the mountains to open up wasteland and take away all our grain?"

After saying this, he shook his head vigorously, with a look of resistance on his face, "No, I don't agree."

After hearing what the third in command said, the second in command and the first in command's faces instantly turned ugly.

The eldest master took a deep breath for a long time before he could calm down. He suppressed the urge to curse and said to Shen Ruolan with gritted teeth: "Master Shen, you took away all our food. What are we going to eat?"

The other two heads also quickly agreed, "Yes, we can agree to everything else, but food is our lifeblood, and we cannot let Village Master Shen take it all away no matter what."

Shen Ruolan looked at the people who were strongly opposed and said with a fake smile: "Boss, I don't need to tell you how much of your food was looted."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she said in a tough manner: "Part of this food is your compensation for this defeat, and part of it is to be returned to the villagers you robbed. So, whether you like it or not, I will take this batch of food away..."

"As for your annual food rations, I think that even if you eat a lot during the autumn harvest this year, it will be more than enough." Shen Ruolan added at the end.

Shen Ruolan has already observed that the area of ​​cultivated land in the entire Beinan Mountain is about 2,500 acres.

Based on one season of wheat and one season of rice each year, their annual grain harvest is at least 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms.

There are less than 1,500 villagers in their mountain, so this amount of food is more than enough for them to eat.

Shen Ruolan's words almost made the heads of the clans spit out blood on the spot. After they recovered, they bargained with Shen Ruolan, "Master Shen, can you leave some more for us?"
