Chapter 420: Wasteland Reclamation Grant (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

However, the workshop could really make money.

The food, especially the sausages, was good and easy to make too.

It would definitely sell well!

“How about you sell all the sausages and braised intestines to us? The price is negotiable.” Liang Yu said quickly.

There were many restaurants and eateries under the Liang Corporation. Even if they only sold sausages and braised meat, they could sell a lot of them.

Of course, that’s if the Lin workshop could produce a large amount of braised intestines and sausages.

The Liang Trading Company could buy all her goods.

Lin Xiaoyue was tempted.

“Sure. Since Young Master Liang is interested, I will definitely consider working with you first.” She smiled at Liang Yu.

Liang Yu was stunned.

She only agreed to work with him first?

Prince Anyang glanced at his brother-in-law with a smile and then looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“There are many restaurants and eateries under the Liang Trading Company. Liang Yu said that he can take all of your goods, so there must be no problem.”

“The price we give will definitely be fair.”

He had made Liang Yu spend a lot of money on this trip today.

As his brother-in-law, he had to help his brother-in-law get the business.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Since Your Highness has spoken, 1 will naturally obey.”

“Haha…” Prince Anyang laughed when he heard that.

After 15 minutes, he finally stopped eating.

Only then did the others stop as well.

Then, someone from the kitchen came and removed the dishes from the table.

Lin Xiaoyue thought that Prince Anyang and Liang Yu wouldn’t stay any longer, so she was prepared to send them off.

However, Prince Anyang started asking about her plans to build terraced fields in the Zhou Manor.

“Anyang County is located in a hilly area. The area of cultivated land is much less compared to the plains. If the terraced fields can really solve the land shortage, then you have solved a big problem for me.” Prince Anyang said excitedly.

“Your Highness, you flatter me.” Lin Xiaoyue cupped her hands at Prince Anyang.

“Reclaiming terraced fields can indeed increase the amount of cultivated land in Anyang County, but it requires manpower. In addition, the newly reclaimed land will not have a high harvest in the first two years.”

“Forgive me for being blunt, but according to the current grain tax of the Great Yan, even if His Highness tells the people about the terraced fields, I’m afraid that very few of them will do it.”

There were actually many villages that had flat wasteland.

However, clearing the land was not that simple.

The grain tax was too high. Although it was stipulated that the grain tax would be halved in the first two years after land reclamation, even so, there was a high chance that the land would make a loss.

Rather than that, the farmers would rather choose to rent. This way, at least the grain tax would be paid by the landlord, and they would be able to get some food.

Prince Anyang paused.

He thought of something and frowned.

The grain tax was indeed high. The ministers of the imperial court had previously written to his father about it.

They said that high grain taxes would lower the people’s interest in farming.

Unfortunately, this statement did not receive the approval of most of the ministers.

It was because his father had always wanted to accumulate grain.

The Great General King was dead.

The interaction between the Great Yan and the Great Chu was getting more frequent by the day.

Perhaps, very soon, the Great Yan and the Great Chu would join forces to attack the Great Liang.

Unfortunately, there was a flood in Yunzhou, and victims were everywhere.

This matter might disrupt his father’s plans.

Thinking about this, Prince Anyang felt drained.

“What do you think?” He asked Lin Xiaoyue.

Actually, it was a rhetorical question.

What could a woman do to solve a problem that even the officials in the court could not solve?

Lin Xiaoyue’s heart skipped a beat. She carefully raised her head and glanced at Prince Anyang.

“Please speak directly.” Prince Anyang smiled gently and actually felt some anticipation.

Li Xiao, Liang Yu, and Manager Liang also looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

No way, she really had a way?

Lin Xiaoyue raised her head again and carefully glanced at Prince Anyang.

“Of course, Your Highness cannot control the grain tax in other places of the Great Yan. However, Anyang County belongs to Your Highness now. Isn’t it completely up to Your Highness to change the tax ratio in this county?” Lin Xiaoyue’s voice was much softer when she said the last sentence..
