I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 313: Division of Labor

Editor: Atlas Studios

The children on the cattle field had been working hard, but some of the elders stared at Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran from the corner of their eyes. Seeing that they were chatting merrily, they gradually deflated. Seeing as Little General and Miss Mu had such a good relationship, they would probably really lose a layer of skin if they caused trouble. Hence, everyone became much more obedient.

Mu Yangling didn’t know that talking to Qi Haoran would have such an effect. She was discussing the address and various supplies of the nursery with Qi Haoran.

As the children were still young and there were both boys and girls, even if the older kids could take care of the younger ones, they still needed the adults to take care of them. Hence, the nursery still had to hire some people to cook for the children. As for washing clothes and cleaning, because children above the age of six were capable of such chores, Mu Yangling planned to let them do that themselves.

“TWhat are you going to do with so much land?”

“Plant grains.” Mu Yangling said, “Two-thirds of them will be used to plant grains, and one-third will be used to plant pasture. Both the rabbit sheds and the cattle farm need pasture.”

“These lands belong to more than 400 households, spanning more than 60 hectares. Do you have so much manpower?” Qi Haoran said, “You won’t be able to hire so many people even if you want to.”

The current Hanzhong Prefecture did not have so many idle laborers.

Smiling, Mu Yangling gestured for him to look at the cattle farm with her chin. “Do you think those commoners who can’t even eat their fill will have the money to rent my oxen?”

Qi Haoran looked at her with widened eyes. “They’re going to use labor to exchange for it?”

Mu Yangling nodded. “When the time comes, I’ll set a number. They’ll have to help me farm a certain area of land for however many days they rent the ox from me. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll pay a high price to hire some help. Anyway, the land can’t be left idle.”

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll help you.”

Mu Yangling patted his shoulder with a smile. “Forget it. You should go back and train your soldiers. It’s not as if you know how to farm.”

Qi Haoran expressed that although he didn’t know how to farm, he could still do other things. After thinking for a moment, Mu Yangling handed the nursery to him. “Speaking of which, considering they’re all from your 5th Division, it makes sense for you to take care of them.”
