The moon falling to the ground

Jian Yue comforted the two of them with a few words and managed to get away under the pretext of making them something delicious.

The next morning, Jian Dacheng and his wife were bailed out by Meng Yuan, the legitimate son of Meng Tongzhi, on the grounds of poor health.

There is a provision in the laws of Nanchang State that if someone is detained for a minor crime, but has illness or other special reasons, a person of status and reputation can bail him out. Of course, the guarantor has to bear certain responsibilities. For example, if the guarantor commits a crime again in the future, the guarantor will also be implicated.

After Jian Yue came back yesterday, Yun Zhonghe reminded her to pay attention to the movement of the government office. So Jian Yue sent Yuan Shi to guard the gate of the county government office.

After listening to Yuan Shi's report, Jian Yue tried hard to find Meng Yuan in her memory.

Meng Yuan is the legitimate son of Tongzhi Meng Banshan. He has always been in love with Yan Xinning and always obeyed her orders.

In the original owner's rebirth memory, she was Yan Xinning's adopted sister to the outside world, but in fact she was Yan Xinning's maid. Yan Xinning would only take her out to attend banquets when she needed to be a foil. She had met Meng Yuan several times, and even she felt that Meng Yuan was the one who was most infatuated with Yan Xinning.

He is definitely Yan Xinning's licker and there is no way he can escape.

Jian Yue put this person behind her and went to the small farm outside the city with Doctor Mao after breakfast. Yun Zhonghe had nothing to do, so he followed them.

Jian Yue suddenly felt that she needed a carriage. It was inconvenient to hire a carriage every time she went out. She would do this when she got back.

The small village is thirty miles outside the city, backed by a small hill covered with weeds and trees.

Zhuangzi's manager was named Liu, also known as Liu Da. He looked like he was fifty years old, but in fact he was only forty-five.

The boss suddenly came to inspect Zhuangzi, and he was very nervous. After all, he was a new boss, and a miracle doctor. What if he didn't like him and sold out his whole family?

Manager Liu and his entire family came out and stood at the gate to greet them.

Two carriages stopped at the gate of the manor, and Nanxing helped Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe get off the carriages. Jian Yue brought Mu Xiang out, and without waiting for Mu Xiang to help her, Jian Yue got off the carriage by herself.

"Master Divine Doctor!" Manager Liu hurriedly brought his whole family to greet him. Just as he was about to kneel down, Divine Doctor Mao waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite! From now on, this farm will be managed by my young disciple Jian Yue. She will plant whatever she says. If anyone takes advantage of her young age and pretends to obey her but actually disobeys, they will be sold directly."

Liu Da shuddered. The miracle doctor was deliberately trying to hit their whole family! He said yes repeatedly, and came over to greet Jian Yue: "Meet Miss Jian, if you have any requests, just let me know."

"Manager Liu, right? Please show us around first, and we'll talk after we've finished looking around. Ask your family to prepare lunch, and we'll stay for lunch."

"Yes, yes." Manager Liu agreed repeatedly, and turned back to ask his wife Huang and two daughters-in-law to cook. He and his two sons led a few people to look at the land.

Although the village is not big, the soil is good. There is a river passing by the village, which makes irrigation very convenient.

Now, 50 mu of soybeans and 50 mu of sorghum have been planted in the field. The seedlings have sprouted and are about one foot high. This is a pleasant surprise.

A large amount of sorghum is needed to make wine, and soybeans have many uses, such as making soy products, brewing soy sauce, etc.

According to Liu Da, in addition to growing crops, the manor also planted some vegetables and fruits on the surrounding wasteland and raised some poultry to supply the former owner's three meals a day. In addition, there were ten tenants who paid seven percent rent each year.

Jian Yue frowned when she heard that.

In ancient times, there were no high-yield crops, and the harvest was generally low. The harvest of one mu of land was 200 to 300 kilograms, and after paying 70% of the rent, there was very little food left in the hands of the tenants. However, she did know how to make some pesticides and fertilizers, and she could use the land on the farm in the future.

Jian Yue looked at the hill in the distance and asked, "Is that hill on our farm?"

Manager Liu said hurriedly: "Yes, but the soil on that hill is not good and nothing can be grown there. Usually the tenants go there to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood."

Jian Yue wanted to go over and take a look, so she said to Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe: "Master, the weather is too hot. You guys go to the farm and take a rest first. I'll go to the hill to take a look."

Although Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe were tired and hot, they were very curious and insisted on going with them, so Jian Yue had no choice but to let them do as they pleased.

Manager Liu asked his two sons to take hoes and shovels, and walked with a few people for half an hour before they reached the hill.

The soil on the hill is not good, but it is covered with a thick layer of rotten grass and dead leaves. It is not suitable for growing crops, but it is still possible to grow medicinal herbs and fruit trees.

Jian Yue looked around and already had a plan in mind.

When they returned to the farm, it was already noon. Huang, the eldest daughter-in-law Wang Cuihua, and the second daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaoqin had already prepared dinner.

I stewed a chicken, steamed some salted fish, fried some eggplant, made some cold cucumber salad, and had some stir-fried beans with meat.

The cooking skills of the three mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were average. Except for Doctor Mao, Jian Yue and Yun Zhonghe had all experienced hunger, so they didn't mind and ate very well.

Jian Yue wrote a plan, drew a sketch, and asked Manager Liu to plant according to the plan next season.

When Manager Liu saw the plan saying that after harvesting soybeans and sorghum, wheat should be planted, and new grain varieties should be cultivated, he looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Jian, you don't know that after the autumn harvest, the land should be cultivated. Otherwise, the crops will be worse next year."

Jian Yue said: "I know about this problem. So after the autumn harvest, we will apply fertilizer first and then plant the land. By then, I will make new farm tools and new fertilizers. You just need to follow my plan."

Manager Liu nodded: "Okay then!" Whatever the master said was the truth. He had already reminded them, so if something went wrong, they wouldn't blame him, right?

In the afternoon, Jian Yue met ten more tenants. They were all men who were in charge of the household. They were all dark-skinned and skinny. The vicissitudes of life were already deeply marked on their faces, and their clothes were patched up. Jian Yue felt very uncomfortable when she saw them.

In her previous life, she lived in the mountains with her master and had come into contact with the lower classes. The national government often issued some policies to benefit farmers, but the farmers could only get enough food and clothing. In ancient times when taxes were severe, the lower class people without any protection had a harder time, and starving to death was a common occurrence.

The tenants were all honest farmers, whose backs were bent from years of hard work. They were also very terrified when facing the new owner, fearing that the owner would not rent the land to them.

Seeing how they were so nervous and didn't know where to put their hands and feet, Jian Yue comforted them: "Don't be nervous. From now on, as long as you grow crops according to my plan, I will not only reduce your rent, but also let you have surplus food every year."

Ten distressed men raised their heads at the same time, their eyes suddenly shining. A braver one stammered, "Dong, Dong, are you telling the truth?"

Jian Yue smiled and nodded...
