In 1752, King August III, granted the privilege of freedom to the peasants of the general forest estate area of Myszniec. An annual rent was established at 581 Polish złoty and 12 groszy. Records indicate that the county was no longer in the possession of the Małachowski family. In 1765, there were 17 landlords paying, in addition to the rent above, an annual tax on alcoholic beverages sold in the farming settlements.
In 1799, the establishment of this tax was bearable because of the economy of the village inn. In 1799, the land rent was raised to 615 Polish złoty and 12 groszy.
In 1820, there were 34 farming settlements and 7 cottages. The landlords paid rent of 615 Polish złoty and 12 groszy, established in 1799, and 29 Polish złoty and 14 groszy for a tithe for the repairs of the decaying Pułtusk seminary. There was a tavern that was privately owned by the Kryżanowski family, with a brewery, that paid 500 Polish złoty toward the Dylewo economy. Instead of serfdom, the laborers were paid 37 Polish złoty. The county owned 68 fields of land, which were sown for 68 bushels of vegetables and corn for winter use.
