After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

The matter of farming was approved by the Supreme Emperor before he abdicated, but it was impossible to get funding from the court, and the local garrison needed to solve the difficulties on its own.

The preferential conditions for local garrisons are that the court will not levy any taxes for the first three years. After three years, one-tenth of the tax will be levied, and the rest will be at the local garrison's disposal.

However, the local garrison rotates every five years, so it is difficult to obtain a lot of benefits in the territory that you work hard to manage.

It's hard to say what's going on elsewhere, but it's very difficult to farm in the Western Region.The grain output here is very low, and the common grain varieties are different from those elsewhere.

It is rich in melons and fruits, and the sweetness is very high. Many places are named after melons and fruits.

It’s just that transportation of fresh fruits is not easy and the losses are huge.

Except for the annual palace tribute, very little goes to the market.

In fact, there are many private workshops that make dried fruits, but due to transportation problems, they are only distributed within a small area.

The special varieties of beef and mutton are also very delicious. The locals are also good at using milk to make various delicacies, but outsiders may find it a bit fishy if they are not used to it.

Now that they are here, these problems can be solved.

So Chu Yin ordered people to hang up a map of the local area and prepare to study where it would be more suitable to set up a workshop.

First, it needs convenient transportation, second, high security, and third, it needs to be close to the village in order to recruit enough labor.

She specially requested this map from Rong An and redraw it based on the military map.

Military maps are very different from ordinary maps. They will mark attack and defense locations, troop arrangements, etc., and they must not be leaked.

Therefore, this map was copied by Chu Yin himself.

She roughly selected a few positions and decided to call the steward in charge of this area over in the afternoon to discuss the details together.

It is not suitable to build a house now, but you can plan the site in advance, recruit workers, contact raw materials, etc.

Nanny Qin and Zi Su looked at each other and advised: "Madam, there is no need to be so anxious, right? Today is your birthday, and the slaves want to celebrate it for you."

"Birthdays happen every year." Chu Yin felt that celebrating his own birthday was not interesting. "If these things are arranged earlier, we should also prepare for the New Year.

"Have you given out the additional annual gifts?"

While they were still on the road, they had people prepare New Year gifts and send them to relatives and friends.

Dongyue received a letter from Rong Jin saying that he had helped prepare some local products, so Chu Yin asked someone to reply to him and asked him to help send someone to deliver it again.

Rong Jindu and Nanny Qin have finished discussing the handover matters.

Nanny Qin said hurriedly: "Don't worry, they are already on the way. And they are faster than when we arrived. They should be able to deliver it within the first month of the year."

Chu Yin couldn't help but sigh, "It's been a long journey, and I had no experience in the first year. Looking back, I have to give out the New Year's gifts half a year in advance..."

Zi Su smiled and said: "If you think about it this way, you should prepare the Dragon Boat Festival gifts now, and prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts in the spring."

All three couldn't help laughing.

Chu Yin said: "It's a pity that they don't have a good taste and can't eat the fresh fruits here." In fact, they haven't eaten it yet.But I have tasted the preserved fruits, and they do taste better than those elsewhere.

Zi Su blinked: "It's the same carrot, but it seems to be bigger here and tastes sweeter. It's delicious even when eaten raw.

"So, looking at it from another angle, this is also a blessed place!"
