Chapter 329: ending

   "Hey, have you heard? The owner is going to give winter clothes to children under the age of twelve." A woman in her thirties grabbed her companion and said enviously.

Companion pouted and said, "This is all news from a few days ago. You will only know now that the clothes are ready. It's alright, no matter how envious you are, there is no point in you."

"It's not for me, but for my son. He's only eight years old this year, just in time. I don't know if the owner will need anyone else in the spring next year."

"You have time, the prefect has allocated so much land to us that we can be busy with just the work in the busy field."

"I can't come, but the children can come too. I'm in charge of the meals. Half-old children eat Lao Tzu, and they don't do much work. If the pasture is for people, I will let him come even if they don't pay wages for a bowl of rice to eat."

The companion rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that there are thousands of calves to be raised. Look at the ones that have been delivered these days. We can't even count them. They are few, so maybe they will really invite people."

"I don't know if I can catch up with Miss Xiuhong. If I can catch up, maybe I can reserve a place..."

A lot of people heard this, so Xiuhong found that there were always people walking in front of her recently. She was very attentive. She would take the initiative to help when she used to keep accounts, and even brought her tea, poured water and moved stools. .

Xiuhong just raised her eyebrows and didn't ask the reason. She just turned around and went back to find Zhang Liu.

Zhang Liu thought for a while and said: "Now both states know that we have built a large cattle farm and need calves. There are many people who send calves over these days. I want to please Miss Biao and compete for the next spot."

"They want to come? Don't work in the fields?"

"It's for children."

Xiuhong nodded, and she said, Hanzhong Mansion is short of everything right now, especially labor, which is better in winter and slack farming, but don't want to hire people when farming is busy, so these children can go to the cattle farm to do some odd jobs. work.

Thinking of Mu Yangling's plan to expand the cattle farm to 3,000, she didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "If someone asks you, don't accept it casually, it means that the owner will arrange it next year."

Zhang Liu responded.

Mu Yangling went to make a deal with Qin Butcher.

Butcher Qin drove three hundred and sixty-five calves over this time, but he didn't see him for a few days. Butcher Qin lost weight. Seeing Mu Yangling, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Mu, I can finally see you alive."

Mu Yangling noticed a knife wound on Butcher Hua's face, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Butcher Hua smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, after listening to Miss Mu's advice, we encountered robbers on the way. Fortunately, there are not many people on the other side. There are about ten people on our side, which saved the sheep, otherwise this time it was really bloody. There's nowhere to go."

Mu Yangling's face sank, so their business might not be able to continue. Sure enough, Butcher Qin and Butcher Hua said, "The journey from Hanzhong Mansion to Xingyuan Mansion is not bad, Xingyuan Mansion will be chaotic further east. Refugees scattered from Tongchuan Prefecture went up to the mountains to become bandits, and because there were not many, the imperial court did not care.”

"how many people?"

"There are only a dozen or two dozen in the group, and it's a shame that they are not many, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape."

"Then this business?"

Butcher Qin and Butcher Hua looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "It's okay to return to Xingyuan Mansion, but it won't work if you leave Xingyuan Mansion, Miss Mu, we definitely won't be able to use so many of these sheep, so we only have to run once. We also found this calf for you in Xingyuan Mansion, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile on his face, "Thank you for this too."

Mu Yangling settled the accounts with them, and after the two goods were settled, they began to discuss how many sheep they were going to take away this time, and Bo Wen had already led someone to drive the calf back.

"Uncle Qin, you have traveled a lot along the way, and I need your help with something else."

Qin Butcher leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, just say, we can do what we can do."

"The two of you also know that I don't have time to go out now, so I would like to ask you to help me promote the cattle farm along the way. If anyone wants to sell calves, just bring them, and I will give them a suitable price."

is just a word, and Qin Butcher responded immediately.

Mu Yangling went to Fang Zhifu again, hoping that he could support the construction of the cattle farm through official channels and attract more people to drive the calves here.

The prefect of Fang also thought about renting her cattle in the spring of next year, and he was very happy to do it with a little effort, so he did it.

It is a two-pronged approach, and there are indeed many people who bring calves to the cattle farm to sell. There are cattle dealers, and more often they bring their own calves together.

The price Mu Yangling gave was very fair. Although it would take several days to come here with a calf on a long journey, Mu Yangling would pay an extra two cents for the toll, which would not make a hundred dollars a month. This is a huge sum of money for Wen's farmers. Once the news spread, those with calves at home were more willing to take them to the cattle farm, which made the price of calves in the market go up a bit.

On the day of the winter solstice, the cattle farm had reached 3,085, and Mu Yangling said that after five days, the cattle farm will no longer receive cattle.

As for why it is not not accepted on the same day, it is naturally for the people who are already on the road at this time. It is impossible for people to pull the cows to the cattle farm but not accept them, right?

At this time, the room and shed of the cattle farm had been built, and more than 3,000 cattle had been driven into the cattle shed. Mu Yangling divided the cattle farm into three districts, each with a thousand head, but not much.

A district has a district chief, who is in charge of ten people, and one person is responsible for about a hundred calves.

And Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu are in charge of these 33 people.

And the hay harvesting is also finished, the dried hay is piled up in the room, on the roof of the cowshed and in the thatched hut.

The military camp settled for wages, while the good people settled for food. In order to prevent the occurrence of looting, the prefect of the prefect brought the yamen to maintain order on that day.

Because there were so many people, Mu Yangling directly invited the soldiers from the fifth battalion to help distribute wages and food.

Fang Zhifu looked at the black and green fields in the cattle farm, and the copper coins in the bamboo baskets behind Xiuhong and the mountains of grain not far away, and sighed at Mu Yang inspiration: "There is a lot of money in business, no wonder I am so big in Zhou Dynasty. Many people left their fields to engage in business."

Dazhou's business is very prosperous, surpassing any previous dynasties. Mu Yangling does not deny this. Although the dynasty also looked down on merchants in various ways, it did not restrict the development of commerce.

Fang Zhifu's eyes were full of melancholy, "Emperor Sejong made a mistake, if he can focus on agriculture and suppress business, there will be no wasteland without cultivation and no food in the national treasury."
