The other families who were slower to react also panicked when they saw these people giving their land to Young Master Shen. Although they didn't know the reason, since everyone was giving it, they couldn't just not show any appreciation, right?
In the end, whether she was willing or not, Ling Xue got 100,000 acres of fertile land within five days.
Now Ling Xue doesn't have to worry about not having enough food!
Ling Xue didn't plan to grow anything else on these fertile fields, just sweet potatoes and potatoes.
The reason why Ling Xue grows them this way is nothing else but for their high yield.
Planting cannot be arranged immediately on the reclaimed land. They have to wait until the land is cleared before planting. Therefore, Ling Xue plans to transplant this batch of sweet potato seedlings into the fertile fields.
Originally, the fertile land was rented by tenants, but now the owner has changed. These tenants are worried. What should they do if the owner no longer needs them?
When they heard that Young Master Shen was going to plant some new variety of crops, they were all very nervous. What if the crops didn’t turn out well?
Of course, not all tenants have this concern. There are still quite a few tenants who plan to leave with their old masters.
One reason is that they have been cooperating for many years and they have some feelings for each other; the other reason is that they are not optimistic about Young Master Shen, so they still plan to leave Yunyang City with their old master.
Ling Xue had no intention of keeping these people. Even if she forced them to stay, what would happen? If they didn't work hard on the farm, it would be better to let them go and avoid being criticized.
At this time, a person's reputation is still very important. Some people can get a high position by relying on their good reputation. This shows how important reputation is to a person.
These people hesitantly told Ling Xue that they wanted to leave, and she agreed. They didn't even get to see Ling Xue.
Shen Wang, who was guarding outside, came out to send these tenants away: "Young Master Shen is very busy, and really can't spare the time to practice with you. But the young master said that if you are not having a good time outside, she will always welcome you back. If nothing else, she will never let you go hungry."
Being able to give this guarantee at this time, Young Master Shen is very generous.
You have to know that Young Master Shen never lacks people to serve him, and they can only be regarded as dispensable people.
Even so, Young Master Shen still remembered to leave them a way out, they were so touched! Some tenants even wondered if their decision to leave was a mistake.
The previous decision was made hastily!
At this point, even if they are wrong, they have to bite the bullet and move on, otherwise they will have to explain to their former boss.
Forget it, at worst I can come back to Yunyang City later. Maybe I can live a better life with Young Master Shen and the others!
The remaining tenants all began to prepare their fields according to Xiao Taozi's instructions. They had no choice but to obey her. It was said that she was the most favored maidservant by Young Master Shen's side, and even the Shen stewards didn't dare to offend her. Even if these tenants didn't agree with Xiao Taozi's farming methods, they didn't dare to disobey her and honestly planted the cuttings as instructed.
Cutting sweet potato vines is much simpler than planting other crops. The other farm chores such as watering and fertilizing are what they are used to doing, so it goes smoothly.
Fortunately, Manager Xiao Taozi did not give them too many instructions except at the beginning, otherwise these old tenants really don’t know whether they can hold on.
In fact, it wasn't that Xiao Taozi didn't want to interfere too much, it was that she was almost chased and beaten by her grandfather Shi Zhuangtou.
