Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Two Acres of Land per Person_1 Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Two Acres of Land per Person_1 “The common folk are easy to deceive, but we must not lack sincerity. Eating coarse grain and wild vegetables, wearing hemp–it’s all too superficial. In my view, we should give each person two acres of land, letting everyone truly experience the hardship of farming,”

expressed Yang Wenxiao his opinion.

Reflecting on hardship to appreciate the good times was an idea that came to him suddenly last night. After pondering it all night, he ultimately decided on this method.

The Yang Family had always been major landowners. Even when he was young, his family was already well-off, but occasionally his grandfather and father would still have him work in the fields to experience the hardships of farming firsthand.

Now that more than half his life had passed, it was time to pick up farming again.

Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. Working in the fields and truly feeling the hard labor of the peasants would certainly capture the hearts of the farmers.

Farmers are the easiest to fool, but even in fooling them, one must show some sincerity.

Farming is the best deceit of all.

“Each person gets two acres of land?” Emperor Yongan frowned.

Two acres amount to about fifteen hundred square meters–a bit too much, perhaps…

“It’s only two acres,” Yang Wenxiao gestured with his chin towards Tong Sanlang, “Tong Sanlang, tell us, is the workload for two acres a lot?”

Tong Sanlang, who was holding a basin catching pig’s blood, heard this and hastily replied, “I’m used to farm work and I’m in good shape; the workload for two acres isn’t much for me.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao hesitated for a moment before changing his tune, “Two acres for men, one acre for women–that should do, right?”

“On one hand, it’s to experience the hardship of the farmers and, on the other hand, it’s to get some physical exercise. You spend all day reviewing memorials, and you should stand up and move around.”

“And Haohao, neither of you father and son are fond of martial arts, so you should always have a way to keep fit, right?”

Emperor Yongan and Yang Hao knew only a little bit of boxing and were just a tad stronger than ordinary people. Two individuals who didn’t like to exercise should indeed get out and move around in the fields.

“And tasting the fruits of your own labor will definitely be better than anything else,” Yang Wenxiao added.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongan pictured himself wielding a small shovel while weeding and, with a hesitant heart, finally made up his mind, “Alright, let’s do it.”

He said, looking over at Yang Hao standing to the side, “Haohao, do you have any objections?”

Yang Hao chuckled lightly, “No objections.”

Though he wasn’t fond of martial arts, he wasn’t weak; working on two acres of land with some labor every day wasn’t too much.

“Where should this batch of land be allocated?” Emperor Yongan asked Yang Wenxiao.

“Tear down the palaces in the Cold Palace and convert them to farmland.”

“Yes, I’ll give the orders right away,” said Emperor Yongan, ready to leave.

“Go ahead, and don’t forget to come here for lunch to taste the fresh pork. Just look at this pig, how lively and good it is,” Yang Wenxiao pointed to a pig that was being butchered nearby.

At that, Emperor Yongan also smiled.

But his smile was somewhat forced.

Is this going to be chewing wax again…

Compared to Emperor Yongan’s forced smile, Yang Hao’s laughter was much more genuine.

The culinary skills of the Imperial Kitchen couldn’t compare to Qiao Xiaomai’s; he was finally going to eat something personally made by Qiao Xiaomai again!

“Grandpa Emperor, I have nothing to do this morning…”

Yang Hao hadn’t finished speaking when Emperor Yongan interrupted him, “How can you have nothing to do? You’ll be in charge of this farming matter. Go and notify every palace one by one.”

Hearing this, Yang Hao had to change his words, “I’ll go right away.”

The father and son duo had arrived together, and now they left together.

Yang Wenxiao watched the two of them leave, his eyes narrowing slightly.

How it will turn out shall be seen at noon.
