The Shit Carrier Village Girl

Chapter 159 Rumors and Slander

Lin Yiwei was a little surprised when he heard Lin Yuelan. He asked, “What do you mean you want to develop some desert?”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Ya, Grandfather Village Chief. I want to know how to determine land rights.” Jiang Zhennan said that whoever develops the land will have the right to use it. However, he also knew that every place had its own land rules, so he did not interrupt.

Lin Yiwei frowned and thought for a moment. “Lan ‘Er, how much land do you plan to develop, and where is it?”

Lin Yuelan, “It will be in the southwest of Mount Da Ao. I plan to develop 10 Mu of land! ”

Lin Yiwei was surprised. “Ten you?”

In ancient times, the most important resource was food, so many governments encouraged their citizens to reclaim abandoned land to form agriculture. This also happened in Long Kan. Therefore, the Imperial Court ruled that during the first three years of reclaimed land, the operator did not need to pay taxes. After that, they will pay half the tax for two years before following the normal tax rate. In other words, they will be subsidized for five years. Many farmers are trying to develop new land. However, it's not easy.

First, land development requires a lot of manpower. Most farmers cannot afford cows and horses. They had to dig and clean the land themselves. At the same time, they have to take care of their own families. That is, they must develop new land while maintaining existing farmland. That's too much to do!

When they managed to recapture the wilderness, it might have been decades.

Therefore, in order to save trouble, farmers usually rent from landlords or save up to buy land.

Second, productivity levels were low in ancient times. For example, the tools are underdeveloped, and not conducive to land development. In ancient times, the economy was largely dominated by small-scale agriculture and did not expand new land.

Lastly, not everyone is brave enough to develop new land. After all, the wild would be filled with dangerous animals. Therefore, for the sake of their lives, many farmers do not dare to expand into new land.

Since the above factors are combined, many farmers may only expand their farms by one to three Mu every few years.

Therefore, Lin Yiwei was surprised that Lin Yuelan said that she wanted to develop up to ten Mu barren lands. That was amazing.

However, he also knew that Lin Yuelan had holy power, so developing a new land would not be too difficult for him. No matter what, he was still a teenager. Developing ten Mu lands would be extremely exhausting.

In addition, he could do other things like hunting to support himself. For example, he managed to earn a lot of money from selling tigers. He doesn't need to farm at all.

Lin Yuelan nodded to Lin Yiwei and said, “Ya, Grandfather Village Chief, I plan to develop 10 Mu of land first. But what kind of procedure should I go through now?”

Lin Yiwei thought for a moment and asked, “Lan ‘Er, it is very tiring to develop a new land. Besides, can you plant 10 Mu of land yourself? ”

He did not mention Jiang Zhennan and the others who were currently staying in Lin Yuelan's house.

He knew that Jiang Zhennan and the others would return to the capital sooner or later. Moreover, these people, frankly, had nothing to do with Lin Yuelan. Therefore, he did not think these soldiers would help him on his farm.

Lin Yuelan said, “Don't worry, Grandfather Village Chief. I know it's exhausting, but how can there be rewards if you don't work? Besides, I don't need to cultivate all the land myself. I can rent it to another village. Don't you think so, Village Chief Grandfather?”

Lin Yiwei was slightly surprised by Lin Yuelan's words.

This kid wants to be a landlord.

Lin Yiwei laughed. “You're being very naughty. Looks like you've already planned this. ”

It didn't matter if Lin Yuelan was a curse or not. As long as he had the benefits to give to the villagers, Lin Yiwei believed that the villagers would put their interests first. They wouldn't care about him being that curse. So, Lin Yuelan's plan was smart.

Lin Yuelan also smiled and said, “Captain Village Grandfather, given my reputation, I should plan my future, don't you think?”

What Lin Yuelan meant was that she had a reputation of cursing. He will not marry in the future, and he will have no family or friends. Therefore, he had to live for himself.

Jiang Zhennan, who was standing at the side, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard Lin Yuelan. It's like being pinned.

‘Is Yue ‘Er really planning to spend the rest of her life alone?’

Jiang Zhennan thought of his own life again. He was the Ultimate Jinx, and he was also destined to be alone for the rest of his life. If they were put together, does that mean they would not be alone anymore?

However, Jiang Zhennan immediately rejected the idea.

‘How can I have such thoughts? Even if Miss Yue ‘Er might be a curse for her husband, she is a good person. He would find a good man who did not mind his identity. Maybe the Gods will pity them, given how good Miss Yue ‘Er is. But different for me. I've killed so many people. I am destined to become the Supreme Jinx, and it cannot be changed! Therefore I should not think like that!’

However, Jiang Zhennan did not know that this thought was like a seed that had fallen into his mind. As long as there is an opportunity, it will take root and sprout until it grows into a towering tree. At that time, no matter what happens, it will not fall. It will stay firm in that place, absorbing nutrients and sunlight. Then, it will grow bigger.

Jiang Zhennan silently shook his head to throw his thoughts back. Then, he listened carefully to the conversation between Lin Yuelan and Lin Yiwei.

Lin Yiwei shook his head hearing Lin Yuelan's words and said, “Lan ‘Er, that's bullshit. You will definitely get married and have children.” Of course, it was just a word of comfort. It was hard for people in their day not to be superstitious.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and did not comment. Then, he said, “Sister Village Chief, I plan to buy land first.”

Lin Yiwei was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. Lin Yuelan had given him too many surprises. Will people gain great wisdom after returning from the dead?

Lin Yuelan had holy power, had the ability to approach animals, knew how to hunt, cook, and now she wanted to farm.

This series of events should not be experienced by a child, but fate toyed with him, making his life a nightmare. Suddenly, he was no longer hunted by nightmares, but he became a nightmare for the villagers. Is this a blessing or a curse for the Lin Family Village?

However, he knew that Lin Yuelan was not a bad person. He was a rational and sensible boy. If people didn't provoke him, he wouldn't have hurt them. Moreover, Lin Yuelan had always respected him before and after his rebirth. Now that he had become extremely capable, it was probably a blessing for the Lin Family Village.

However, he was still a little worried. There were people in the village who would do anything to hurt Lin Yuelan. When they cross the line…

Lin Yiwei sighed in his heart.

He knew that Lin Yuelan did not take massive revenge on the village because she gave him face. He understood that Lin Yuelan did not want to put him in a difficult position.

Lin Yiwei was secretly happy because Lin Yuelan was truly an honest person. Therefore, he was really happy that Lin Yuelan's life had improved.

Lin Yiwei asked, “What land do you want to buy?”

“Five mu high level fields, three mu medium level fields, and two mu low level fields.” Lin Yuelan said.

Different types of soil can be used to grow things.

Superior grade land with enough water with fertile soil can be used to grow rice.

Middle-class land will not be much water, but the soil quality is still good. Corn, wheat, and sorghum can be grown.

Low-grade fields are just a few sandy soils. They lack water, and the soil is soft. However, certain plants such as peanuts, watermelon, and sweet potatoes love this type of soil.

Lin Yiwei said in surprise again, “Lan ‘Er, you need at least 15 taels of silver to buy all that land. Do you have that kind of money?” Then, he thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong. What'd he say? Lin Yuelan had just gotten a windfall from selling tigers, so naturally, she did not have to worry about money.

Lin Yiwei nodded and said, “Oke, do you want the fields to come from our village or from another village?”

Sunlight is important for agriculture. Therefore, Lin Yuelan needed a field that was sunk in the sun.

Lin Yiwei nodded and said, “Alright, I'll help you wonder. However, Lan ‘Er, you are talking about developing new land and buying existing fields. Are you planning to hire or contract a maid?” Lin Yuelan could not work in many fields alone.

Lin Yuelan said, “I plan to have a long-term contract with four or five people and hire some short-term workers.” Lin Yuelan did not hide anything.

“Where do you plan to hire short-term and long-term workers?” Lin Yiwei asked seriously. He knew that most of the people in the Lin Family Village had offended and bullied Lin Yuelan, so it was very possible that he did not want to hire them.

However, this would be a good job opportunity for the villagers. As the chief, no matter what, he still hoped that Lin Yuelan would consider hiring the people from the Lin Family Village first. After all, working both long-term and short-term on the farm will help improve the living standards of many families.

Lin Yuelan was not stupid, so she understood what Lin Yiwei meant.

To be honest, he did not want to put Lin Yiwei in such a difficult position. Since this was only a small matter, he decided to compromise.

Lin Yuelan thought for a moment and said, “ Village Chief Grandfather, I will prioritize the Lin Family Village when I recruit. But, I will frankly, I will only hire honest and kind-hearted villagers. As for those who have ulterior motives, I will resolutely refuse. ”

“Of course, of course!” Lin Yiwei agreed with him. “Some villagers have bullied you in the past, but others have not really done anything.” That means that these guys don't add insult to injury. They are just observers.

Of course, that doesn't mean that they are innocent. They were as completely innocent as those who directly persecuted Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan continued, “ Village Chief Grandfather, I will hand over the matter of hiring a maid to you. But, Grandpa, with the reputation I have, would the villagers want to work for me?”

Of course, they will. Why are they against money? Even though they knew Lin Yuelan was a curse, they would still work for money.

Lin Yiwei said, “Lan ‘Er, don't worry. Those who want to come can come, and those who do not want to come will also not be forced. So, you don't have to worry about this. Leave everything to Grandpa.”

“Thank you, Village Chief Grandpa!” Lin Yuelan said. This was his plan all along. He hated doing these troublesome things. Lin Yiwei was a person who knew better than anyone else who was hardworking and who was not in the village.

The two mud balls continued to emit this scent. He wanted to open it to eat the things inside. He will wait for his granddaughter and wife.

Lin Yiwei said, “Sure. Lan ‘Er, you can develop the land first. In two days, I will invite the bailiff to measure the land and make a registration. Then, the developed land is yours. Tomorrow, I will be going around to ask about the fields that are there for sale. ”

“Thank you, Village Chief Grandpa!” Lin Yuelan quickly thanked him.

When Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan returned home, they saw people fighting over beggar chickens. There were many broken bones on the ground.

“Doctor Zhang, you may be sixty years old, but you have a great appetite.” Guo Bing took the chicken leg and said, “A chicken weighs three to four kilograms, and you've eaten half a chicken.”

There were chicken bones all over the floor in front of Doctor Zhang. He was gnawing at the chicken wings as he replied, “I can't help it. This beggar's chicken is too good.”

Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows, walked over, and immediately picked up the whole chicken seized by Guo Bing. He tore it apart and gave half of it to Jiang Zhennan. He said, “masked garden, this half is for you!”

After which, he immediately started eating in a big bribe, without holding back from a girl at all.

Looking at Lin Yuelan, everyone stopped eating and looked at her in surprise.

Looking at Lin Yuelan, everyone stopped eating and looked at her in surprise.

‘What is it ... a man? She eats like a man.’

Lin Yuelan looked at their dumbfounded expressions and raised her eyebrows. “Why did you stop eating? If you don't want to eat, then give the food to me, and I'll feed them small whites and everything else. ”

Hearing Lin Yuelan's words, some of them quickly protected their food, afraid that Lin Yuelan would seize them.

After eating, Guo Bing wiped his mouth and said with a flattering smile, “Miss Lin, this beggar chicken is very tasty. Can you make more tomorrow? ”

Lin Yuelan gave Guo Bing a fake smile and said, “hehe, do you want more?” He swept his eyes to the others.

They nodded in unison.

“It's okay. Other than the Grandmaster, all of you should head to the southwest of Mount Da Ao to clear some new land for me first. ”

“Claim some new land ?!” They're shocked.

…

Lin Yuelan, that damn curse, had the people she brought back to help her develop a new field. This caused the Lin Family Village to become an uproar.

Because of that, many rumors started to spread around the Lin Family Village.

The first rumor was that Lin Yuelan had used some kind of demonic art to make the people she brought to the village work as slaves. Now, they were developing the land at the foot of Mount Da Ao. Mount Da Ao is a dangerous place. If they were not careful, the commotion would attract a savage beast.

Lin Yuelan did not treat these people as humans. He forced them to work without considering their safety. He's too cruel.

Other rumors are based on what some people have seen. They said that Lin Yuelan, the curse guy, had a special relationship with these five men. Some villagers saw them holding hands and embracing each other's shoulders. Some even saw Lin Yuelan kissing them.

“Where is public courtesy?” Lin Qi was so angry that his face turned pale. “It's completely immoral!”

‘Hmph, poor girl, this time I caught you. I'll give you a lesson you'll never forget.’

“Grandfather Qi, look what this girl has done. What should we do now?” Lin Daniu asked respectfully. However, Lin Daniu's eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Ever since they were caught stealing from Lin Yuelan's house, they had lost a lot of face. However, the poor girl also forced them to spend the night on Mount Da Ao.

Lin Daniu was still trembling as she recalled that night. Most importantly, he had been impotent since that day.

Lin Daniu swore that she would definitely take revenge for this.

Lin Qi slammed the floor with his staff so hard that the entire room echoed with that voice.

Lin Qi's face turned dark. His expression was firm and impressive. “The Lin Family Village will never forgive this promiscuous woman who has committed such immoral acts!”

“Yes, of course, we can't let that poor girl go.” Lin Daniu echoed, “Grandfather Qi, what can we do to stop that poor girl? You should know that he..”.
