<h4>Chapter 190: Rumors and nders</h4>
Lin Yiwei was a little surprised when he heard Lin Yun. He asked, “Do you mean you want to develop some wastnd?”
Lin Yun nodded and said, “Yes, Grandpa Vige Chief. I want to know how to determine thend rights.” Jiang Zhennan said that whoever developed thend would have the right to use it. However, he also knew that every ce had its ownnd rules, so he didn’t interrupt.
Lin Yiwei frowned and thought for a while. “Lan ‘Er, how muchnd do you n to develop, and where will it be?”
Lin Yun, “It’ll be to the southwest of Mount Da Ao. I n to develop 10 Mu ofnd!”
Lin Yiwei was surprised. “Ten mu?”
In ancient times, the most important resource was food, so many kingdoms encouraged their citizens to reim wastnds to form farms. That was true in Long Kan Country too. Therefore, the Imperial Court decreed that for the first three years of thend being reimed, the operator didn’t need to pay tax. After that, they would pay half the tax for two years before following the normal tax rates. In other words, they would have a subsidy for five years. Many farmers tried to develop newnd. However, it was not easy.
First, developingnd required a lot of manpower. Most farmers couldn’t afford cows and horses. They had to excavate and clear thend themselves. At the same time, they had to look after their own families. This meant that they had to develop newnds while maintaining existing farnd. It was too much to do!
When they managed to reim the wilnds, it might have been decades already.
Therefore, in order to save trouble, the farmers usually rented fromndlords or saved money to buynd.
Secondly, the level of productivity in ancient times was low. For example, the tools were backward, and they were not conducive tond development. In ancient times, the economy was mostly dominated by small-scale farming and not expanding newnd.
Lastly, not everyone was brave enough to develop newnds. After all, the wilnds would be filled with dangerous animals. Therefore, for the sake of their lives, many farmers did not dare to expand to a newnd.
Due to the above factorsbined, many farmers might only expand their farms by one to three Mu every few years.
Therefore, Lin Yiwei was surprised that Lin Yun said that she wanted to develop up to ten Mu of barrennd. It was unbelievable.
......
However, he also knew that Lin Yun had divine power, so developing newnd wouldn’t be too difficult for her. However, no matter what, she was still a teen. Developing ten Mu ofnd would be very taxing.
Besides, she could do other things like hunting to sustain herself. For example, she managed to earn a lot from selling the tiger. She didn’t need to farm at all.
Lin Yun nodded to Lin Yiwei and said, “yes, Grandpa Vige Chief, I n to develop 10 Mu ofnd first. But what kind of procedures do I have to go through now?”
Lin Yiwei thought for a while and asked, “Lan ‘Er, it’s very tiring developing newnds. Besides, can you farm 10 Mu ofnd by yourself?”
He didn’t mention Jiang Zhennan and the others who were currently staying at Lin Yun’s house.
He knew that Jiang Zhennan and the others would return to the capital sooner orter. Moreover, these people, to put it bluntly, had nothing to do with Lin Yun. Therefore, he didn’t think these soldiers would help her at her farm.
Lin Yun said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Vige Chief. I know it’s tiring, but how can there be rewards if you don’t put in the work? Furthermore, I don’t need to farm all thend myself. I can rent them to the other viges. Don’t you think so, Grandpa Vige Chief?”
Lin Yiwei was slightly surprised by Lin Yun’s words.
It turned out that this child wanted to be andlord.
Lin Yiweiughed. “You’ve be so mischievous. It sounds like you’ve already nned this out.”
It didn’t matter if Lin Yun was a jinx or not. As long as she had benefits to give the vigers, Lin Yiwei believed that the vigers would put their interests first. They wouldn’t care about her being a jinx then. So, Lin Yun’s n was clever.
