The Princess of Northern Land - Chapter 832 Return (3)
“Princess, it’s cold outside. Do you want to prepare a sedan?” Xiao Yang asked deliberately. He was not trying to test Lin Ziyin, but he knew that Lin Ziyin would definitely reject his proposal. Then Lin Ziyin’s image in the minds of the people will become even taller.
As for Lin Ziyin, the new princess, Xiao Yang had already identified with the heroine in his heart after going through the battle in the border town.
So he spared no effort to build momentum for Lin Ziyin.
Among the people in the border town, Lin Ziyin’s prestige was no lower than that of the prince Chu Suifeng. Not to mention the battle in the border town, which left a deep impression on them. Just the fact that Lin Ziyin came from a poor family and flew to the branch without forgetting the poor people like them was enough to make them grateful.
Xiao Yang’s proposal did not surprise or repulse the people. On the contrary, they all knew that Lin Ziyin had been robbed by the people from the North, and the people from the North just wanted to get the magical planting skills of King Ling. Presumably as a prisoner, Princess Ling must have suffered a lot in the Northern Kingdom.
Looking at Lin Ziyin’s thin body, many people felt sympathy for her.
“That’s right, we’ve got the sedan ready.” Li Zheng interrupted loudly. He was frightened to death. With His Highness Prince Ling around, he was always frightened. He was afraid that he would do something wrong or say something wrong and anger Prince Ling. Finally getting a chance to show off, Li Zheng immediately rushed to show off.
“No, what’s the point of riding a sedan to the fields.” Sure enough, as Xiao Yang expected, Lin Ziyin rejected his proposal.
Chu Suifeng also knew this very well. He did not object to Lin Ziyin’s refusal and led Lin Ziyin towards the fields.
Due to the short time, she could only go to one village, so when the officials from the nearby villages heard the news, they brought over some of the village’s best farming skills.
A large group of people followed Lin Ziyin and Chu Suifeng to the field.
When plowing the fields in autumn, the villagers divide the fields into pieces according to requirements.
The length of these fields is also divided according to the requirements. The purpose is to adapt to future mechanical harvesting and transportation.
And the fields were completed in two days with creeks and ditches. Don’t underestimate these rivers. Rivers, rivers and ditches are different. Ditches are used to prepare for field irrigation in the future. They can not only raise fish and shrimps, but also store water, while ditches are used to transport water.
It turns out that the villagers rely on the sky for irrigation. Those close to the water source are often good fields, while those far away from the water source are inferior to who knows how much.
The Northland has a vast territory and few people. It turns out that the people do not have much land in their hands. But Lin Ziyin borrowed modern management methods and asked farmers to register with the government office and open up wasteland and farm according to the population. The cultivated land will remain unchanged for thirty years, but the land ownership is in the hands of the state, and they only have the right to cultivate. The grain turned in every year only accounts for 30% of it, and the rest belongs to everyone to distribute among themselves.
However, grain trading is not allowed to sell the Northland. This is a hard rule.
Don’t think that these measures are small, but they are a huge good thing for the people. These regulations made the people almost regard Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin as gods.
You must know that when they originally rented land for farming, they had to hand over 50% or even 60% to their employer. In addition to paying public grain, there was very little left in the end.
But now I only have to hand over 30%, and the rest is my own. Isn’t this a great thing, and they also found out that the corn and rice yields in Shili Village were amazing. In addition, the fields and ridges are not included in the tax. The soil and fertilizer in the north are just a piece of income as long as you work hard.
