In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

After dinner, Su Yueyao and Yang Qianxun sat on a stone bench in the yard. Su Yueyao didn't feel sleepy at all because she had slept for a long time in the afternoon.

Su Yueyao leaned on Yang Qianxun's shoulder, looked at the starry sky and said with a smile.

"It's so beautiful! So many stars."

"She is indeed beautiful, but in my eyes, A Yao is the most beautiful." Yang Qianxun put his arms around Su Yueyao and said.

"Qianqian always says nice things to coax me."

"I'm telling the truth. I'm not trying to coax A-Yao. When I was in Fengdu, I spent most of the night alone looking at the starry sky. Today, A-Yao is with me. I think A-Yao is even more beautiful!"

"The scenery of this villa is really nice. It feels like a paradise. The Pei family really has good taste!"

"Indeed, most of the good manors are controlled by aristocratic families, especially the fertile fields. The manors around this county are all branches of the Fengdu aristocratic families."

“Don’t these farmers have any land?”

"Of course not. According to the laws of this dynasty, farmers cannot own land."

"What about the wasteland they reclaimed themselves?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.

"The reclaimed wasteland will also belong to the owner of the manor, but he will be paid in silver," Yang Qianxun explained.

"Can the 40% of grain left by farmers every year be enough to feed themselves?" Su Yueyao asked again.

After all, every family has so many husbands, children and elderly people.

"I'm not too sure about this. In fact, the grain in their hands is not 40%. The court will collect another 10% of the grain in their hands." Yang Qianxun explained.

Su Yueyao was a little surprised. The grain production here is not high, right?

"Are there any other manors nearby? Are they all like this?"

"I know of the nearby farms. There is one owned by the Lu family, one by the Xiao family, and one by the Xie family. I don't know about the others, but the harvests are all the same."

"All right!"

She should be thankful that she had traveled through time and space to become a merchant in the county town. If she had been a farmer, she would have to stay in the village for the rest of her life and might not even have enough to eat.

"Ayao, do you think farmers' lives are not good?" Yang Qian asked.

"I don't know. I just think they are working very hard. Even if they work hard for a year, the food they get may not be enough to feed themselves."

"It depends on which family they follow. For example, the Pei family will give farmers horses and some silver and money every year, which should be enough to ensure they have enough food and clothing." Yang Qianxun explained.

"I hope so! Let's go and have a rest! Tomorrow I want to go take a look at the fields, and also take a walk in the mountains behind." Su Yueyao said with a smile.

She was just a little surprised. She didn't expect that the farmers here didn't even have land. It seemed that there was a clear distinction between merchants in the county town and farmers in the villages outside the county town.

She was unable to change anything, and the key point was that she didn't know how to farm. She only knew how to fertilize and sow seeds, but she didn't even know how to do the actual operations.

"Okay, let's take a break!" Yang Qianxun said as he helped Su Yueyao up.

After Yang Qianxun helped Su Yueyao take a bath and wash up, he put her on the bed and went to take a bath himself.

Su Yueyao has slowly gotten used to being served by Yang Qianxun. Although she is still shy, she feels a lot more accepting. She thinks she will slowly integrate into this place and the hierarchy here. She will slowly become a local here and just hope she can live her life in peace!

Fortunately, the policy is very friendly to women, so I guess life won’t be so tiring!

When Yang Qianxun returned to the room after washing up, Su Yueyao had already fallen asleep. He gently lifted the quilt and lay down, holding Su Yueyao in his arms.

Su Yueyao subconsciously found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.

When the candles in the house went out, Pei Yuqi, who was standing outside the yard, slowly prepared to turn around and leave.

It seems that Su Yueyao really likes Qianxun. Generally, women would rest alone outside, or let men keep watch outside at night.

He could sense that Su Yueyao put Qianxun on the same level as her. She would remember his preferences, save face for him, respect him, and even be willing to share responsibilities with him.

Such women are really rare.

He understood that no matter how much he liked her, it would be time to leave tomorrow. Perhaps they were just not destined to be together. Pei Yuqi returned to his yard with deep sorrow.

He didn't tell Qianxun and the others that the courtyard they lived in was specially prepared for his future wife...

Maybe he will get married in the future, but he doesn't want to bring his future wife here, because the one he loves has already been here...
