Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

With twenty bodyguards, the fourth brother Ye Heng and Chai Zhen were all going to the suburbs. Little Milk Bag looked at the shop and saw that everyone had been transferred away. "Uncle Huo, this place is handed over to you and my second uncle." Little Shunzi stayed outside the door to stand guard. "Drive the carriage to the backyard." "I'll go right away." "Brother Shunzi, you are not small," said Little Milk Bag, laughing. Sun Quan also wanted to go. "Let's all go, just treat it as a trip. Chai Zhen, Little Milk Bag, and Xiaodong will sit in one carriage." The others rode horses. There was a thick blanket inside, and Little Milk Bag lay on it and fell asleep in a short while. An Si drove the carriage slowly. Ye Heng was in the front, and first went to see the land awarded to Guoguo by the emperor,

Inside the palace, the night steward was meeting with the owners of the various farms, detailing the number of households on each farm, which fields they cultivated, and what they were planting, preparing for the prince's inspection. "Those who haven't planted anything yet, plow the fields and prepare them. Go!"

Some people were worried that they were up to something. They hurried back to find a solution.

Ye Heng reviewed the documents, revealing that the two farms held 5,000 acres of land. Ye Heng arrived first. The carriage stopped at the intersection. Chai Zhen picked up Little Naibao and prepared to disembark. Ye Heng came over to take Guoguo. "Uncle, I'll hold her." "Okay," Xiaodong said, disembarking last. Ye Heng said, "This is the Emperor's farm. Let's go in and ask around." Ye Renwen rode up shortly after. He summoned the farm owner and said, "Call everyone in the farm for a meeting." The owner presented the household registration documents, which Ye Renwen handed to him. They had been informed that the farm had changed hands. The Emperor had approved the necessary paperwork, replacing Chai Jin. They hadn't met the owner yet. The farm owner had met the prince, but now, he was still unsure of their fate. They had been worried for a while. Ye Heng had sent his secret guards to investigate, and several of them were unfit. He wanted to see if they could be used again. He also needed to make arrangements for Guoguo.

Guoguo woke up, "Brother Ye, the little milk bag called softly." Ye Heng looked at the small ball of Guoguo and his heart melted. He wanted to protect her and not let her get tired or wronged. "Guoguo, you've had enough sleep." "Yeah. I need to pee." Ye Heng carried her to a place where there was no one, put her down, and Guoguo squatted down to take care of it.

Ye Heng smiled. "It's the child." He pulled up her pants and wrapped her in clothes. He carried her to the living room and sat her down. Xiaodong, Chai Zhen, and Lao Si all sat down. Sun Quan went outside to work in the fields. Of the twenty bodyguards, only two or three remained. Ye Heng took the household registration documents and looked through them. There were about a hundred households, and he checked one hundred and three. Some families had more land, some less, and the fertility of the land varied.

An hour later, the farmers came in twos and threes, and there were too many people. Ye Heng said, "Everyone, come. Those who don't come will be kicked out of the farm. Go and notify them again. If they don't come after an hour, they will all be kicked out." "Housekeeper, go and find Sun Quan and the others, Ye Heng ordered." In less than an hour, everyone who should come and couldn't come had arrived. Ye Heng asked the housekeeper to call out their names one by one. Several people in each household were registered again. Jiayu took notes, and Xiaonaibao took out a notebook and a pen, of course, a ballpoint pen. He handed it to his father. "Daddy has taken note." "Don't worry, Guoguo, Daddy is always studying well."

Ye Ren heard the call, "The head of the household, Old Man Li, has a family of three: son Li Fei and wife Wang Dani. Stand on the other side." The family of three stepped forward. The fourth child held up the three names he remembered and showed them. "Are you sure, there are only three people in your family?" Old Man Li replied, "Yes, sir." "How many acres do you farm?" "Our family farms these twenty acres?" Can we do that?" "Yes, sir, we can. How much grain can we harvest from these twenty acres, two crops a year?" "In a good year, we can harvest about 4,000 kilograms. But in a bad year, there's no rain, and even the harvest isn't enough to feed the family." "Now we have a waterwheel in the fields, so we can irrigate the land when it's dry. We'll have a good harvest this year." "How much grain do you hand in, and how much does the owner take?" Old Man Li looked at the owner and bowed his head. "In a bad year, did anyone in your family starve to death?" "The whole family burst into tears?" "The little kid can't stand seeing people cry." "Grandpa, don't cry, just tell me what's going on, the prince will take care of your family. This farm is mine, and I keep my word." Old man Li looked at the little kid, then at the prince's family of three kneeling down, and said, "My wife starved to death, and my little grandson died because he had no money to see a doctor. He asked the owner of the farm to borrow money but he didn't give it to him...he died of illness." The three of them burst into tears. The little kid asked the woman, "How old is your sister-in-law?" The woman lowered her head. It was Li Fei who said, "Twenty-one years old." The little kid looked like he was in his thirties, which showed how hard life was for this family. How did you collect the grain? "Three out of one." "That's not right," he didn't ask any more questions. "You guys just stand aside." Li Fei supported his wife.

Little Milk Bag took out a bag of milk and handed it over, "Drink it, hold on for a while. I will let you live a good life, sister-in-law and grandfather." Old man Li looked at such a young child and trusted him very much. The child would not lie.

Ye Renwen continued reading. Old Man Zhang, the head of household, had a family of five and owned forty mu of land. His wife, Zhang Ma, had two daughters. "Master Zhang, are there only four of you in your family?" Old Man Zhang knelt and kowtowed, saying, "There are only four of us in our family." "Forty mu of land can be cultivated? You don't need to say anything. Stand aside." Little Milk Bag produced two more bags of milk and handed them to the two girls. "Drink, this is milk." He then handed two packets of bread. "Come and eat!" Old Man Zhang's wife, trembling, took a piece of bread and offered it to Old Man Zhang. "You eat." She took a piece and ate it slowly, then gave each of her daughters a piece. Ye Heng: "It's a demerit. Come and get fifty kilograms of flour and rice each." Sun Quan, "You will take Old Man Li home. Lead the horse." "Yes, the prince." "Go, sir. After you take him home, just one of the head of household will be fine. We'll have a meeting soon." Old Man Li said happily, "Okay. I'll listen to the prince and the master." Old Man Li left. Old Zhang, his wife and daughter, followed Li Biaotou and received 200 jin of grain. Some families with over 30 people cultivated only 20 mu of land, yet they survived starvation. This meant they had food. Food was not distributed to such families. Ye Heng changed the owner of the manor and left the compound, returning to his own home. He was replaced by Wang Youzhi, a man who had passed the imperial examination but had no opportunities and was poor. "Your family will live here, as the accompanying room. You can live in both rooms. You can keep the main room. You can use it on weekdays, just like today when you have something to do." "Okay, I'll remember that," Ye Heng said. "Now that every household head is here, the land will be divided accordingly. Each person will have two mu of land. If they don't pay the public grain tax, three people can cultivate six mu of land, and the grain will belong to them. Each family will be given at least one mu of land in front of or behind their house to grow vegetables. The rest of the time, anyone who wants to farm can talk to the owner. Cultivating the public land will earn 20 wen a day, regardless of gender, and payment will be made every ten days. If anyone has a sick family and needs money, they can borrow from the owner." I will arrange a doctor to see everyone at a fixed time. For those who are difficult to treat and need more money, I will pay at least two taels of silver for the treatment. The owner of the manor, please remember this. "Yes, Your Highness, I will do this." Ye Heng continued: "Tomorrow, the owner of the manor will start to divide the land. The good land will be given to everyone, and the remaining land will be returned to the public. In the end, we will see how much land there is in total. The owner of the manor must remember this." "Yes, Your Highness." We need to count which houses need repairs or construction. I will leave two people to help you, and keep five or six people here secretly. The troublemakers will be beaten first. "Let's go, Guoguo."

The next day, Ye Heng sent two imperial doctors to the farm to treat the patient. When Xiao Nai Bao left, he left Wang Youzhi with 100 taels of silver and some medicinal herbs.

A few days later, the land was redistributed among the families. The remaining small plots were plowed and planted with peppers, while those near the river were planted with rice. Corn seeds, five oxen, and five plowshares were left for the owner. Carrots were taught how to plant white radishes, spinach, leeks, and so on, and a horse-drawn carriage was left. The vegetables were delivered to the No. 1 shop in the world and sold for money. "Remember, both men and women can work and earn money. Even mowing grass will be paid, and even five-year-olds can earn money. Later, a school will be established, and children under fifteen can attend. If you have any problems, come to me at Guoguo's house or the prince's house and find someone to help you solve them." "Okay, good master, that's right. I will do my best."
