    Suddenly a villager shouted, "I remember. I remembered. I went shopping in the capital last year, and I heard passers-by say that the princess was the emperor's granddaughter. Oh my god, we actually besieged the emperor's granddaughter."

    Now, anyone who screamed was so scared that their legs weakened.  They all lay down obediently and knelt down in the direction of the carriage.  When the carriage disappeared for a long time, I still felt uneasy.  The man who had stopped them from coming was called Er Gouzi and was beaten down.

    A villager said anxiously, "Uncle Six, what if the princess comes back to punish us for our crimes?"

    The old man said bitterly, "You deserve it, and you won't be unjust if you die." After living for such a long time, he was so scared that he lost six of his seven souls.  I was almost killed by these bastards.

    This group of people lived in fear for a long time.

    ????????? In fact, the guesses of this group of people are good.

    Xia Ying persisted in admonishing, "Princess, this is too cowardly. You have been bullied like this, and you are still running away. Princess, why are you afraid of these unruly people? Even if you don't kill them, you still have to kill them."  How could they all be let go so easily?"

    Wen Wan looked at Xia Ying, this woman was definitely violent.  He smiled and shook his head.  So what if you are cowardly, so what if you are incompetent.  As a seven-year-old child, she would be scary if she could do something ruthless.  Moreover, she knew at a glance that these people were instigated.  If she really got angry and killed a few people, she would definitely be in trouble.  Now she has one less trouble and one less trouble.  I don¡¯t know when my troubles will be over!

    When you are timid, you will be timid and scare. If you carry such a fame, there is a piece of meat. What does it matter?

    Xia Ying felt particularly aggrieved.  But Wen Wan didn't give the order, and she didn't dare to move.

    Shili Village

    The gentle Zhuangzi is very remote.  When we arrived at our destination, it was already dark.  The land is covered with mountains.  Because of its remote location, it is extremely quiet.  Being remote has its benefits.  Look, it's much cooler here than in the capital.

    Looking along the road, it is lush and green.  Hey, Wen Wan was originally feeling depressed, but now she looked at the mountains with great interest.  Because the large rolling hills and forests are all covered with bamboo.  Spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots are very delicious.  Bamboo can also be used for crafts.  After asking hurriedly, he took the land deed and saw that this bamboo forest also belonged to him, and he smiled happily.  This is a lot of money, Butler Lin.  The service is really reliable.

    A day¡¯s walk, a day¡¯s journey.  By evening, it was finally almost here.  The car was walking in the middle.  There are fields on both sides.  From the mountains came the chirping of birds, and further away, there were cows crowing, chickens crowing, and a few faint barking dogs.  A pastoral scene, Wen Wan's heavy heart suddenly relaxed.  The car moves slowly.  The head of Zhuangzi had already received the news.  Come out and see me immediately.

    This is also a fenced courtyard with seven or eight rooms.  Make the most spacious one a gentle bedroom.  Wen Wan looked at it but had no reaction.  But others are uncomfortable and heartbroken.  Grandma Gu looked at the simple decorations around her and frowned.  I secretly hate those people in my heart, they are so cruel!  But it was still arranged in a regular manner.

    "Wujin, the head of the village under the door, comes to see the princess, and wishes the princess long blessings, prosperity, and peace." A very capable-looking old man, about fifty years old, with a strong body and a good spirit.  Compared to my own grandfather.  They are about the same age, but their energy level is far inferior to that of Zhuangtou.

    Wen Wan nodded.  Let him get up.  After explaining everything, Grandma Gu made arrangements one by one.  A house was arranged for the maidservant who came with her to stay.  The guards all live outside.  Too many, and luckily it¡¯s summer.  However, they all set up tents.  The next day, Wenwan sent everyone back.  Only twenty people remained.  Nothing will happen to you in your own village.

    The servants performed their duties and delicious meals were quickly served.  The best rouge rice was used, and I planned to send it to Xiao Jing Wen Wan during the Chinese New Year. This time, I used it in advance.

    A plate of tender roasted duck, a plate of steamed crucian carp, a plate of smoked bacon and stir-fried bamboo shoots, a plate of fried fish and shrimp, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of beans, a plate of dried bamboo shoots, and a bowl of chicken soup.

    Wen Wan looked at it, her appetite increased greatly, and she ate a bowl and a half of rice.  After eating, Grandma Gu and the others took it down to eat.  Wen Wan was frightened to death when she first looked at the dishes.

    ??Immediately tell them not to make so much, saying that it is too wasteful for one person to eat.  Later I found out that I would definitely not be able to finish all the food, so I would give them the rewards that I could not finish, and the slaves who could not finish the food would give them another reward, saying that it was a gift from their master.

    Wen Wan is lucky that she is dressed as a privileged class, if she were dressed as a maid and a servant.  Eating the master's leftover food every day is still a reward and one has to give thanks.  Wen Wan is so excited when she thinks about this, thank you very much.?God¡¯s gift to myself.  Even in Anlefu, food was brought to me and I never ate leftover food from others.  However, in this world, many people are still struggling to eat leftovers.

    After a day¡¯s journey, Wen Wan was extremely tired.  That carriage was really not for people to ride on, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, it was rugged and bumpy as hell.  Wenwan finished her meal, took a bath, and slept soundly.

    That night, there were frogs croaking and cicadas chirping outside, which kept several maids awake.  Xia Yu came over quietly and asked, but the princess fell asleep.

    "The princess has grown up in the countryside and is very familiar with this environment. Therefore, it is not surprising at all that she can sleep." Xia Ying said softly.

    Xia Yu and Xia Lin live in the same room.  Xia Ying never leaves Wen Wan's side.

    "I think the princess is so pitiful. If she hadn't met the prince and had the protection of the long live Lord, the princess now doesn't know what would have happened. How could there be such a family in this world? It is a meritorious family. Really, how could the emperor do this in the past?  What's more annoying is that the princess made a small mistake this time just because she was young. How could she know that such a thing would happen? It was really too much for the emperor.  Come forward and bring justice to the princess," Xia Yu said angrily.  In the past year since she served the princess, the princess never scolded or punished anyone.  He is a rare good master.

    Xia Lin said quietly that originally it was Princess Fuling who was interested in him, but Princess Fuling secretly got the news that the emperor planned to recruit the number one scholar as Princess Fuhui's consort.  Princess Fuling was so angry that she arranged for people to see Princess Fuhui and the Prince Consort together. Eventually, the news spread, and the news was very serious, damaging the reputation of the royal family.  The emperor was very angry, but he still agreed to the marriage.  The emperor was already very angry about this.  Later, the princess did several things that made the emperor angry, and he became increasingly disliked to see the princess.  Therefore, although the princess was not having a good life in Ping Mansion, the emperor did not care about it anymore.  So much so that later, the princess was abused by the Taira family and no one paid attention to her.

    The two of them muttered for a while before falling asleep.

    Wen Wan got up early the next morning, did a set of boxing exercises, stretched her muscles, and broke out in a sweat.  After bathing, I ate. After dinner, I said I wanted to go for a walk on Zhuangzi.  Take a look at the properties in your name and feel comfortable.  Zhuangtou immediately said, I will make arrangements right away.

    Walking along the road, the houses are all low and high.  Look at those old people, children, ladies and gentlemen, most of their clothes have patches.  It¡¯s strange to ask, are the tenants under these names living a bad life?  He looks so poor no matter what.

    "Last year was a good year, but this year it looks pretty good. Life is good. If the year is bad, you can see people selling their sons and daughters everywhere." Just as he was saying this, he saw Grandma Gu staring at him and hurriedly stopped.  mouth.  Wen Wan raised her hand, Xia Ying said, and the princess asked you to continue.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to say, they all depend on the sky for their livelihood,¡± Zhuangtou said with a wry smile.  Wen Wan looked at this Zhuangtou, who was much more conscientious than the one she met when she just woke up.

    "We only farm and don't do other industries. For example, we raise chickens, ducks, and pigs. We can also hunt wild animals in the mountains. How come life is so difficult." Wen Wan was very surprised.

    "Without capital, how can you raise chickens and ducks, let alone pigs? The capital is even greater. As for the wild animals on the mountain, the mountain belongs to the owner, and no one can enter the mountain at will. Everything inside must be donated at the end of the year.  The owner's family." Zhuangtou shook his head.

    Wen Wan was thoughtful and asked casually, what percentage of the rent should be paid.  Zhuangtou said it would be 60%.

    "Oh, 60% is good, but in some places it's even 70%." Grandma Gu said immediately.

    Then he dragged Wen Wan into the carriage and said, "Don't talk about rent reduction or anything like that."  These are all established rules, and you cannot break this example, otherwise it will be even more serious than before.  Don't mention any more land taxes, otherwise you will drown in spitting stars.

    Wen Wan said that she was measured. It was because she didn¡¯t understand before, but now that she knows there will be such troublesome consequences, she will naturally handle it with caution.

    Then he asked Zhuangtou something.  For example, how much can one acre produce in a normal year, how to deal with pests, and how to put fertilizers.  Zhuangtou was extremely surprised when he asked.  Such a young child actually knows how to farm.  Wen Wan shyly said that she read it from a book.  I bought a book called Four Seasons, which specifically introduces farming.  She just wanted to understand at that time, and was afraid that the people below would think she was young and be fooled by the people below.  I didn't expect that an old man would be so surprised.

    "Oh, it turns out that the princess read it from a book. We all rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation to farm." Wu Jin sighed.

    Wen Wan heard that the yield of the top-quality fields here is less than 600 kilograms at most in good years, and it has to be a good harvest year.  A medium-sized field like theirs usually weighs 400 kilograms.  No matter how bad the field is, it usually only weighs two to three hundred catties. If the year is bad, it will only be one or two hundred catties. If there is a drought, it will be reduced to nothing.No more harvest.

    Wen Wan was shocked when she heard this.  She remembered that in her previous life, the rice yield per mu was about 1,600 kilograms, but she didn¡¯t know the details.  Why is it not even half now?  It still depends on God¡¯s face.  Then he asked, since we are worried about the harvest, why not just plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns?  (To be continued)
