Chapter 371: Chapter 371: King Ling Takes Action (4)_1

"They’re all fools." Zhang Da received a message from below, the fury drove him to overturn the table.

He didn’t expect Chu Suifeng to be so ruthless. The prince would actually give up the Zhang Family and other grand aristocratic families, and choose some new nobles instead. Since the prince was merciless, he shouldn’t blame the Zhang Family for being unjust.

"Take my invitations to the Ji Family, Xia Family, and other residences."

The servant immediately went to deliver the invitations according to his instructions.

The significant families of Feng City gathered again to discuss matters.

In July, villagers from Shili Village were so ecstatic that they could wake up laughing from their dreams. The crops in their fields grew excellently, much better than in previous years. Not to mention the pleasant growth of the new rice variety, even the soybeans and corn were fresh and vigorous. Under Lin Ziyin’s suggestion, the villagers planted various beans or vegetables and sweet potatoes in all usable corners of their fields.

Apart from the paths, you could hardly see any uncultivated land in the village.

The villagers were delighted because every bean planted represented a handful of copper coins. The Lin Family had announced that as long as the beans grew well, they would buy them all.

Lin Ziyin cared more about the growth of the spring wheat. Since she had no experience with this crop, she did not plant many, but it was entirely a test field. From what she saw, the wheat seedlings were growing well, but she wasn’t sure about the final yield.

If spring wheat could be grown in the Northern Land, she would be more confident. Thinking about the vast uncultivated land in the Northern Land, Lin Ziyin was filled with hope.

"Mistress." A couple from the village came to her, "We would like to buy some long-haired sheep to raise. The elders in our family think it’s too boring to do nothing, they want to feed some sheep."

"Sure, you can pick a few from the sheep pen." The Lin family now raises sheep for their wool.

It was hot weather, and some families needed to shear their sheep. Lin Ziyin offered a pretty good price for the wool.

Families with elders, seeing the opportunity, came over wanting to buy some sheep to raise. Lin Ziyin agreed. The number of sheep she had brought back last time from Border City, along with the sheep sent by Chu Suifeng, was quite large. The sheep had also reproduced, and it would not affect her much to share some.

"Sister, the smell of sheep wool is so strong, what do you want it for?" Two months after getting married, Zige became pregnant. Another person with good news was Guo Huiniang, Ziyin’s sister-in-law. After being nursed back to health by Master Hui Zhen, Guo Huiniang was also pregnant.

"Wait till we have more wool, and you’ll see its benefits." Lin Ziyin answered with a smile.

Sheep wool is valuable. In the cold climate of the Northern Land, if the wool could be softened and made into woolen clothes, blankets, it could keep the people warm in winter and increase their income.

"The smell is a bit too strong." Zige pinched her nose, reluctant to stay in the room. "They are still clearing the new fields. What if they clear too much and can’t manage it?"

"No problem." Lin Ziyin answered with a laugh, "We could always hire more people."

"Too many people could also cause problems. If there are some extremely evil people among them, what will you do?" Zige worriedly looked at her.

"People sent here have all been screened by the prince." Lin Ziyin answered with a smile. She trusts Chu Suifeng because not only does she need people, but Chu Suifeng does too for his own estate.

With the addition of a group of people and the villagers working in the spring, Lin Ziyin was not afraid of being short of labour at home.

"You always have a plan. You make the decisions." Zige sighed slightly.
