Chapter 390: Going to the County

Although Yang Heshu had only taken office over a month ago, he had already visited every village in Luojiang County and had gained a rough understanding of the situation in each place.

He had also finally understood why Luojiang County was merely a lesser county.

Because it was truly poor!

In Yang Heshu's opinion, not to mention the privately owned cattle by each household, shouldn't there be at least ten cattle within a li?

If ten households shared one cattle, it would greatly alleviate the pressure of spring ploughing.

But taking Qili Village for an example, they only had one cattle per li, and every year only thirty-three households would take turns using it, each time ploughing only three mu of land, and then moving on to the next household after three mu.

And with a hundred households per li, this meant that a household would only have the chance to use the ploughing cattle once every two years, ploughing three mu of land each time.
