Lin Jinyue worked hard on the farm, and she thought that farming was too hard for her family, so she started to think about it. Didn’t the last upgrade increase the number of people who could enter the farm?
She asked the system and learned that she had to sign a contract and the person had to be trustworthy.
The contract is to ensure that the person does not speak nonsense. Trustworthiness cannot be determined by them alone, but by the system's judgment based on a period of time.
Lin Jinyue told this to her father and brother.
Lin Shucheng carried a hoe and planted medicinal herbs with his daughter. He asked, "Daughter, do you think it would be okay to hire someone to help with the farming when we have more land on the farm?"
Lin Jinyue: "Hey, wait until we are settled first. Now the system says that Grandpa Lin is trustworthy. He is so old... And Dad, look, we still have to build the bamboo house now, there is no rush."
The main reason is that there is too little land on the farm and it is not worth it.
Even though there is a system confidentiality agreement, Lin Jinyue still feels that one must be extremely cautious when bringing people into the farm.
Lin Jinyue picked up a hoe and started farming. She smelled the fragrance of cold rabbit and became very motivated. She quickly upgraded, as she would be able to unlock more treasures in the system mall.
And their villa.
Lin Jinyue's whole family loves reading. In order to write books, she filled an entire wall of her study with books. There were all kinds of books, very diverse. These books were very useful in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinyue worked hard in the fields with great enthusiasm.
After Jiang Yun finished making the cold rabbit, she followed suit.
A total of one and a half acres of land were planted with medicinal herbs. After reaching level four, the time they could stay in the space was extended to four hours. It was only when the time was almost up that they planted the two acres of land with medicinal herbs.
That is to say, you can plant it on the farm in the system space. You don’t have to consider anything, such as temperature, climate, soil and air humidity. Just scatter and bury the seeds in the ground.
After planting, the farm can be considered upgraded.
Lin Shucheng saw that the data on the system panel in front of his daughter had changed.
He quickly asked: "Look, is it a potato?"
At this time, Lin Jinyue's mind was full of the mechanical sound of the system.
[System: Congratulations to the host for upgrading to level 5. Two acres of land as a reward, unlocking yam beans, chicken, hawthorn, beef (limited), toothbrush, grass seeds, and silkworms.]
[Farm level: Level 5 (257/20w)
Wealth: 3825 taels, 132 copper coins
Farm unlock area: 5 mu (you can spend silver to unlock the land, 100 taels of silver per mu)
Unlock buildings: ...】
Lin Jinyue stared at the system and immediately spent five hundred taels of silver to unlock the land.
You can only unlock five acres, and if you want to unlock more, the farm must be upgraded.
Otherwise, she would be willing to invest all her money into it.
When Lin Jinyue came to her senses, she saw the whole family staring at her eagerly, asking, "Is it a potato?"
Lin Jinyue: "One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Lin Shucheng thought for a moment and said, "Good news, right?"
Lin Jinyue said, "I just spent five hundred taels of silver to unlock five acres of land. I can set aside a few acres to grow food. Plus with the speed of time, I don't have to worry about running out of food."
After hearing the news, Lin Shucheng was very happy. As long as they had land, they would not be afraid of going anywhere. The only trouble was how to get the food through reasonable and legal means.
But this is a matter for the future, so I’ll think about it later.
Lin Shucheng asked his daughter again: "Daughter, what's the bad news?"
Lin Jinyue: "The crop unlocked is not a potato, but a yam bean. It looks quite similar to a potato, but a little smaller."
Lin Jinyue was so angry.
She had been waiting for so long, but what she finally found was not potatoes, but yam beans.
Lin Shucheng also complained: "You said this thing, isn't this pure fraud, or the moon landing fraud, it's actually imitating others!"
Jiang Yun comforted her: "Girl, yam was a medicine in ancient times. We can prepare it and sell it. Besides, yam is very nutritious. You can stew chicken with yam, yam ribs, candied yam..."
But this time, Lin Jinyue was not so greedy.
She sighed, "In today's world, what's the use of asking for money? Don't think that Lingnan is doing well now. Just wait and see what the situation will be like in a few months or a year or two. Sooner or later, there will be a war. Even if there is no war, General Gu will recruit soldiers and train them, so he must purchase a large amount of food. It's not convenient for us to take out the things on the farm. If we can create so much food out of thin air, do you think others will be suspicious?"
"Look at the yam, you can only grow one kind in the space, and it takes a year to mature. At this juncture, nothing can compare to corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. They mature too slowly and are not enough to satisfy hunger."
Lin Shucheng thought, "Girl, do you think it would be okay for us to form a small team and go to the islands outside to grow rice?"
Lin Jinyue actually began to think about the possibility of this matter.
But Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Don't think about it, it's impossible. A ship costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. At the same time, we have to prepare for settling down and buying land. Besides, we only have more than 70 people. Excluding the old, weak and disabled, you can calculate how many young and strong people we can trust. With such a small number of people, we are going to open up overseas territories, and we will definitely not be able to defend them."
Lin Jinyue continued, "I think that instead of relying on overseas development, it is better to save money first, and then buy food for home after selling it. Half of the money can be spent on buying cheap brown rice outside, and the other half can be taken out from our space to build a large granary and tell others that we have stockpiled food."
In this way, the food in their farms can also pass through.
As they were talking, Lin Shucheng and the other three were ejected from the space, and Lin Jinyue followed them out.
Jiang Yun muttered quietly: "Oh my god, I worked so hard to prepare this cold rabbit, and I haven't even had a bite yet, I'm..."
But we can’t eat the cold rabbit out now, it smells too good and everyone is probably still awake.
Lin Jinyue secretly stuffed a piece into her mouth: "Eat it quickly, don't let anyone smell it."
Jiang Yun took a bite of the cold rabbit and said, "Go wash your hands quickly."
The family slept comfortably in the shabby and leaky thatched hut for the whole night.
The next morning, they got up and busied themselves with work, wishing they could build a bamboo house in two days.
The skin on everyone's hands was almost worn out.
Several girls about Lin Jinyue's age started doing needlework and used the leftover burlap to make gloves for them to prevent their hands from getting hurt.
Lin Youcai, who has always been stingy, also thought this was a good idea.
After all, if your hand is injured, not only will the progress be delayed, but you will also have to spend money to buy herbs to treat it. How troublesome is that?
It's better to take good protection from the beginning.
In just two days, the first small building was built. Each room is small in size but small and unique.
Not only that, Lin Jinyue also had a lot of street lights made.
Bamboo poles were used as lamp posts, the frame of the lampshade was woven from bamboo strips, and a thin layer of window paper was used as a lampshade. Lin Xueqing made a small mechanism on the lamp base, so that the lampshade would not be blown away unless there was a strong wind.
