Chapter 1180: Fate
There was strength in numbers. The few hundred mu of paddy fields were quickly harvested, and the grain was collected.
As for the straws, they had to be used well. Other than feeding cattle and horses, they could also be used for other purposes.
Because they were going to plant the second season of rice, the straws were picked up and dried in the mountains.
After the first season of rice was collected, the second season of rice was transplanted.
Lin Yuelan had already given the instructions for seedling cultivation.
Whether it was the people of Lin"s Garden or the helpers hired by Lin"s Garden, they all did their work in an orderly manner.
Looking at Lin Family Garden"s arrangements, Yuwen Longyan was really surprised.
Although Lin"s Garden was a big family with a large population, it was rare to see people who were so proactive, full of energy, and methodically doing their own work.
Then, he asked around.
It turned out that Lin Yuelan was very strict when it came to employing people.
She could provide them with good food and drinks and pay them well, but there was one thing they had to do, a good job.
If there were ten people, they would be given the same piece of land, and they had to finish it within a specified time.
If this person worked fast and well, they could rest after they were done or help others with their work. No one would criticize them.
But if you didn"t finish it within the stipulated time, then you could continue to work, without food or pay, until you finish.
Or you can hire someone else to work for you within the stipulated time. During the time they work for you, their food and wages will be paid by yourself. Lin Yuelan wouldn"t care at all.
In short, whether you finish it yourself or hire someone to finish it, you must finish the task a.s.signed to you within the specified time.
To modern people, this system could be considered a contracting system.
However, Lin Yuelan"s contract was mandatory.
It prevented the people who came here to work from slacking off and cheating for food and drink.
Of course, those who came here to work were all people who wanted to live a good life for their families because of the benefits and high wages. Therefore, they were very active in their work and tried not to work overtime so that there was a chance for others to replace them.
Yuwen Longyan pondered deeply upon hearing such a system.
Of course, he didn"t have time to think about it.
Because he was very actively involved in the fun of plowing the fields and transplanting seedlings. No matter how others persuaded him, it was useless.
They had no choice but to let the willful Emperor partic.i.p.ate in this.
However, in order to avoid any mishaps, Jiang Zhennan accompanied the emperor no matter what he wanted to do. As for Wu Ming, he was sent away by Lin Yuelan to do something else.
Anyway, with Jiang Zhennan around, nothing would happen to the old emperor.
Later on, the emperor found out that Wu Ming was living a miserable life in Taoyuan Village because he was taking the blame for him.
His Majesty only felt his lips twitch, but he did not feel guilty at all.
It was only natural for a subordinate to take the blame for his master.
Therefore, later on, when Lin Yuelan tried her best to squeeze Wu Ming and order him to work, he turned a blind eye to it. He had completely forgotten that he, Old Master Wen, was Wen Ming"s biological uncle.
Eunuch Zhang looked at Wu Ming, who was being manipulated by Lin Yuelan. He only pitied him for a moment. Then, he rejoiced that he did not offend the master of Lin"s Garden in any way.
What a black-hearted pair of master and servant!
During the transplanting season, the peanuts and corn were also slowly maturing. It would soon be time to harvest them.
Dozens of acres of peanuts could be squeezed out of thousands of pounds of peanut oil.
Apart from the peanut oil, corn oil, and soybean oil that she left for Liu Yichen, Lin Yuelan sent the rest to her family"s various restaurants and subordinates. As for the rest, she used a portion of it as a favor while the rest was sent to the restaurants for limited sales. The price was set at a rather high price.
Just one sentence, "If you can afford it, then buy it. If you can"t afford it, then don"t buy it!"
It was the same as the vegetables and fruits that restaurants sold in limited quant.i.ties.
Yuwen Longyan was curious.
He had to partic.i.p.ate in everything.
The peanuts and corn were quickly collected. They only needed to wait for two days before they could be squeezed for oil.
Yuwen Longyan surrounded the oil presses and asked curiously," Is this an oil press?"
The peanut oil that Wu Ming had secretly sent back to him was squeezed out of this oil mill?!
Although Wu Ming had introduced the so-called oil press to him in the letter, it was not detailed. Therefore, now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he knew that they worked miraculously.
Lin Deshan nodded. "Yes!"
However, he was very puzzled. During this period of time, Old Master Wen seemed to have become obsessed with farming. He wanted to partic.i.p.ate in any work, and the girl didn"t stop him?!
Also, wasn"t Old Master Wen a businessman?
However, why didn"t he have the temperament of a businessman? Moreover, the most puzzling thing was that he had said that he was here to look for his nephew, but after finding his nephew, he had no intention of leaving. Most importantly, his nephew did such a tiring and heavy job, but he didn"t seem to feel any heartache.
Also, Wen Ming didn"t have the temperament of a weak young master at all. Instead, his aura was a little like Jiang Zhennan"s, fierce and filled with a thick smell of blood.
There was also Little Nan. Ever since this Old Master Wen came, he had been following Old Master Wen almost all the time, like a bodyguard protecting him at all times.
Lin Deshan began to suspect Old Master Wen"s ident.i.ty.
However, Lin Deshan was a smart person. Even though he started to doubt Old Master Wen"s ident.i.ty, he did not point it out. He only treated Old Master Wen as an ordinary businessman.
" Brother Lin," Yuwen Longyan looked at the sunning field and sighed, "Your granddaughter is really amazing!"
When Lin Deshan heard Yuwen Longyan praise Lin Yuelan, he immediately nodded with pride and said, "That"s right. This girl is really amazing!" He added, "Maybe G.o.d saw that she had suffered too much in the past, so he"s making it up to her now!"
Yuwen Longyan asked in confusion," How did the girl survive in the past?"
He had heard that four years ago, a nine-year-old child was forced to cut her wrist and bleed. She had cut off her relatives. There were two big bowls of blood.
Even an adult wouldn"t be able to survive after two bowls of blood, let alone a weak nine-year-old child.
"This girl is lucky!" Lin Desan sighed," As the saying goes if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed! See, the girl is now completely reborn, living very well, and even found such a good husband like Nan brat!"
Speaking of Jiang Zhennan, Yuwen Longyan wanted to ask, wasn"t this girl afraid of Jiang Zhennan"s fate?
However, he opened his mouth but didn"t say anything in the end!
