Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 52 Autumn Wind
Sheng Jiaojiao's anxious mood eased because of Tan Ji's translation of "Daze Geography" in vernacular, and said to Qi Rong:

"Since Tan Ji values ​​you so much, you should go to the East and West Second Camp a few more times in the future, and let's sell them more side dishes and medicinal materials."

"okay."

Qi Rong was full of energy, and his face was full of joy, and he pulled Sheng Jiaojiao to sit beside the small table on the kang, and said:
"Third sister, quickly count, how many copper coins are there?"

Seeing his expectant look, Sheng Jiaojiao shook her head, poured out the bag of copper coins on the small table, and counted them one by one.

While counting, he calculated:

"Now that you have a mule, you don't have to drag the cart by yourself. The cart is tied to the back of the mule, and you go to Dongying and then to Xiying. You can deliver the goods from the two camps in one trip."

Qi Radi nodded, with sparkling eyes on his small face, and asked:

"Good sister, I have been away for so long, my mother is not angry today, is she?"

"No, there are guests at home, but I didn't realize that you were gone."

As Sheng Jiaojiao spoke, she pondered again:
"From now on, you have to go out every day. We have to find something for the second aunt to do. Don't let her stare at you all day."

"What can you do for my mother?"

Qi Rong didn't have as many thoughts as Sheng Jiaojiao, he only opened a pair of big eyes, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao, as if letting her make up his mind.

Sheng Jiaojiao thought for a while, propped her forehead with one hand, fiddled with the copper coins on the small table with the other hand, and said:
"The third aunt has great strength. In addition to planting crops, she can also take care of the side dishes in the backyard. There is still less land behind."

Just as we were talking, there was the sound of the nest coming and going from outside the house, and Mrs. Qi San shouted:

"Fourth, have you carried water today?"

Now that Tan Ji and Qi Zhang have won the battle, the village of Tiaoma Lake has been unsealed, and the work of the militia to deliver water will naturally no longer exist.

Although Qi Rong was forbidden to go to the market, the daily task of the Qi family to carry a can of water home was still indispensable.

Since the morning, the Qi family hadn't seen Qi Zhi, and finally, he found his whereabouts at night. Of course, the first thing he did was to be told to carry the water.

Qi Rong was sitting opposite Sheng Jiaojiao, laying his head on the small table, when he heard his mother tell him to carry the water, he jumped up and responded:
"I haven't gone yet, I'm going now."

Before the words were finished, Qi Zhang came in from outside the house with a smile and asked:
"Where did the mules come from in the yard?"

Qi Rong stood by the kang and replied honestly,
"Brother Ji sent it."

After speaking, Qi Rong went out to fetch water.

Outside, there was also the voice of Mrs. Qi San interrogating,
"Where have you been fooling around all day?"

"How dare you, Auntie"

In the room, Qi Zhang walked over with a smile,
"This time, Ah Ji has played a few good fights."

In the room, Qi Zhang sat where Qi Rong had been sitting just now, and put a bulging and heavy pocket on Sheng Jiaojiao's small table,
"I heard from Jian Tuo that Erlang wrote back to ask you to do business. This is the money that was confiscated during the siege of the blacksmith shop this time. I didn't hand in all of it. I took a large part of it and gave it to the brothers in the barracks for them to take back. The family honors their parents, takes care of their wives and children, and the remaining part goes to grandma’s family, and the other part goes to you as capital."

In fact, it was true that Qi Erlang often wrote letters back, but he never told Sheng Jiaojiao that he wanted her to do business.

Because many members of the family are illiterate, even Qi Zhang entered the military camp in the past few years, and only started to read and write with the help of Sheng Jiaojiao.

Therefore, the letters at home were all read by Sheng Jiaojiao to the family members, and Sheng Jiaojiao replied to them.

Therefore, Qi Erlang's family didn't know whether he wrote Sheng Jiaojiao to do business or not in his letter.

Sheng Jiaojiao borrowed Qi Erlang's name and made up her mind.

When Qi Erlang came back, she went to slander Qi Erlang again.

In this regard, Sheng Jiaojiao, who has been acting on every occasion and has been in the right and wrong all her life, is not at all panicked.

Following Qi Zhang's words, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the pocket he put on the small table, but it was much bigger than the purse Qi Rong took home.

It seems that Qi Zhang, like Tan Ji, listened to what Sheng Jiaojiao said last time, and did not turn in the spoils collected during the war.

She hurriedly took it over and took a look, and it was full of pieces of silver.

Surprised, Sheng Jiaojiao took out a piece of silver, weighed it, and found that a piece of silver weighed twelve taels.

Just asked:

"Big brother, you haven't handed in the money?"

This time he and Tan Ji both made military exploits, but Qi Zhang and Tan Ji went in different directions this time. Qi Zhang went all the way to investigate and suppress all the blacksmiths in Tiaoma Lake, while Tan Ji and the subordinate countries fought a few small battles.

In comparison, Tan Ji's oil and water may be richer than Qi Zhang's, but because Qi Zhang encircled and suppressed blacksmith shops, he got more cash.

Qi Zhang nodded, took out another apple, took a bite, and made a crisp sound,

"My affairs in the military camp are too trivial. Although the vassal state has been temporarily suppressed, but looking at their actions, it seems that they are about to make a big move. From now on, you have to worry more about family affairs. You are the only one who has studied in the family. , since you are doing business, as the elder brother, I will support you."

And said:

"You buy apples well, why is the peddler still selling them? Come back next time and buy more."

His aunt Zhou brought a bunch of apples and distributed them to the family. Everyone said they were delicious, sweet with sour, crisp and delicious, and juicy to quench their thirst.

It seemed that Sheng Jiaojiao really had a business eye. The apples she bought, even if they were sold and sold in the village, were still in demand.

Sheng Jiaojiao saw Qi Zhang eating apples happily, so she suddenly said:

"Big brother, I want to use this money to clear up several plots of land."

Qi Zhang gnawed the apple and left an apple core. Hearing this, he looked at Sheng Jiaojiao strangely and asked:

"Why does our family have arable land, why do we need to rectify it?"

People in Zhishou County are not short of land. If they want to, they can enclose those barren mountains and Gobi deserts at will.

Because of lack of water.

Sheng Jiaojiao was silent, and then said:
"This time I accompanied the four brothers in the east to nourish and wound. I have seen with my own eyes the difficulty in your military camp. The imperial capital is thousands of miles away from our small frontier county. Before the official provocation has begun, your military camp has a shortage of food, grass and luggage. .”

After a pause, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Qi Zhang and said again:
"So this time, I took some medicinal seeds from Dr. Quan, and found some planting methods in the book, so I thought, let's plant some medicinal herbs in the whole plot of land, if it doesn't grow well, forget it. If it is planted well, the whole village, and even all the households in Tiaoma Lake, can grow medicinal materials for the emergency needs of the army."

In other words, it is good to read more books. In the eyes of others, Sheng Jiaojiao, who went to private school until now, is more knowledgeable than them.

In this yellow land, people who have dealt with the wind and sand all their lives may not know the things that Sheng Jiaojiao can learn to solve in the book.

Qi Zhang has no doubts about what Sheng Jiaojiao said, because the problem she said is also the worry of all the military camps in Zhishou County.

I saw Qi Zhang thinking seriously:
"What did Erlang say in his letter? The drug dealer he is looking for may have a stable and large supply of medicinal materials?"

"Well, the business hasn't started yet, and we can't put all our eggs in one basket."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Sheng Jiaojiao's lips, under the candlelight, her eyes were full of calculations, she played with the fingertips of the money, and tapped the money lightly.

Seeing Qi Zhang nodded in agreement, she said softly again:
"As for the drug dealer's supply of medicinal materials, I naturally want to seek stability and a large amount, but we have to be frightened ourselves. It's what I said to Dr. Quan. If there is a war in the future, we will all plant the medicinal herbs in our homes. A piece of medicinal material will not cause you to lose your life for no reason because you have no money to buy medicine."

"Brother is really relieved that you can have such considerations."

Qi Zhang, who was on the other side of the primary school, nodded to Sheng Jiaojiao. He was surprised by Sheng Jiaojiao's delicate thoughts. He never expected that Jiaojiaoer, who was regarded as the jewel in his family, would have such an exquisite plan.

But Sheng Jiaojiao's intentions are far more than that, she smiled and said:

"Brother, if you say this, it means you agree, let me take the money first, and settle the matter of how many acres of land."

He hurriedly said:
"Let the third aunt do the rectification. After she finishes planting the crops, she will rectify the land. The sooner we rectify the medicine field, the sooner we will have a harvest."

When Qi Zhang heard this, he lit a candle and asked:
"Nowadays, the kid in the family is restless and runs out all day long to be naughty. If you let the third aunt go to clean up the medicine field, who can control the fourth brother?"

It was because she didn't want Mrs. Qi's eyes to stare at the fourth brother all the time that Sheng Jiaojiao wanted to distract Mrs. Qi.

In the candlelight, the eyelashes on Sheng Jiaojiao's face trembled slightly, covering her bright eyes,

"I've thought about the matter of the four brothers. It's good that the boy is naughty, but the third uncle's medicine field has been organized. In addition to practicing literature and martial arts every day, the four brothers can also help the third uncle in organizing the medicine field. Besides, he also found a lot of wild Burnets of excellent quality today, and it’s not all because of stubbornness.”

Hearing what she said, Qi Zhang also agreed.

As early as in the afternoon, Gento told him about Qi Rong finding a basket of wild burnet.

It's just that Sheng Jiaojiao first negotiated with Dongying's Quan Peng about the supply of medicinal materials, so the basket of Burnet that Qi Rong found was sent to Dongying.

Qi Zhang had never seen the basket of Burnet, but Jian Tuo said it was in excellent condition.

"Then let the third aunt go to the whole medicine field. I thought about it. Since we can grow wild Burnet here, I must have spent a lot of time planting it, and it should be able to grow it."

And asked very curiously:

"Your second elder brother said that there is a drug dealer supplying medicinal materials, but do you want to send someone to consign them? Will he send them directly to the village or to the military camp?"

Sheng Jiaojiao had already prepared for this, she was used to lying, and every time she lied, she had to lay out the lie in a beautiful way.

She laughed:
"It's only a matter of time. It's only been a few days since we came back from Dongying. Since the drug dealers want to supply medicinal materials to the military camp, they have to prepare first. Today, half of the medicinal materials sent by the four brothers to Dongying are wild. Yes, half of them were some samples sent by drug dealers when we went to the market earlier, there are many purchasing matters among them, brother, don’t worry about these things, I will take care of them properly.”

Qi Zhang was right when he thought about it. Since a drug dealer supplies medicinal materials, as long as the quality is good and the supply is stable, he will definitely see this drug dealer in the future.

But now everything is incomplete, and there is no explanation, so he rushed to see this drug dealer, and would not do business with his family in the future, but wasting his energy and energy with this drug dealer.

It also makes people feel that it is profitable, which gives rise to many delusions.

"By the way, big brother, I still want to buy some trees and plant them."

Sheng Jiaojiao had already obtained Qi Zhang's consent to prepare the land for planting medicinal materials, and began to think about the next thing.

She really wanted to buy a tree.

Because the apple tree in the soil depression is too strong, if she bought the tree and planted a small forest in the backyard of the Qi family, if someone finds the apple tree in the future, she can say that it was bought .

Qi Zhang looked at Sheng Jiaojiao worriedly,
"You are planting herbs and trees, and you have so many ideas."

He couldn't figure out what Sheng Jiaojiao was going to do here and there.

only said:

"I have no objection to buying trees, but how many trees can be planted in our place?"

"Let's buy a few trees to plant first, and then reorganize the land. If the planting is alive, grandma can enjoy the cool under the tree in the future, and then build a grape trellis next to it."

Sheng Jiaojiao gestured, the expression on her face was full of yearning, as if she had already seen such a scene.

This look of longing made Qi Zhang blurt out, and he couldn't bear to say anything that wanted to hurt her.

The Qi family always loved Sheng Jiaojiao, as long as she didn't ask for the stars and the moon in the sky, generally no one would refuse her request.

Isn't it just to plant a few trees?That's it.

So Qi Zhang asked again:
"Have you got a way to buy saplings? I hear they have to be brought in from another county."

"Yes, yes, there are people selling it in the set."

Sheng Jiaojiao really has a way to buy saplings.

She remembered clearly that in her previous life, she was sent to the jumping horse lake because of the deposed prince, because she kept complaining that there was loess everywhere, not even a tree.

So the management of the set specially wrote a note on this matter and handed it up.

In order to abolish the prince, Tiaomahu collected a sum of money, bought a batch of saplings and transported them to Jishang, and planted them around the abolished prince's mansion.

It is impossible not to report to his superiors and ask for a reward for doing such a thing to please the emperor's son.

So Tiaoma Lake rewrote the excerpt, emphasizing that the abandoned prince was depressed due to eating too much yellow sand, so Tiaoma Lake planted various precious trees for the sake of the nobleman's health and for the nobleman's house. .

He continued to pass the booklet up.

The king of Zhishou County saw it, and appropriated another sum of money to buy a batch of larger saplings, and planted them around the abandoned prince's mansion.
