The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 102 101

Two days later, Zhang Jinwang went to the county to handle the deed. Mrs. Wen bought two catties of meat and went to Zhang Jinwang's house to get the deed. Since then, the more than ten acres of land near their home have all become the Zuo family. of.

Because the Zuo family now has Lusheng, the Zuo family can open up the land and grow a little enough for their own food.

But more land needs to be rented out, otherwise Lu Sheng would be too busy alone.

Aunt Rong was also responsible for going to the town to sell food, so she couldn't help.

Not to mention Wen's, his main skill is embroidery.

"Sister-in-law, can this piece of land from my family be given full marks to your family?"

After Mr. Wen got the title deed, he decided to rent out the land, not only to ask someone to help her open up the land, but also to ask others to help her plant it.

He wanted to find the Tian family, the Tian family, with a large number of people and a small number of people, and their personalities were also good. The two of them got along very well, so they were a very good candidate.

"To tell you the truth, the land by the river is quite big. When I bought it, it cost [-] taels of silver per mu. Although I want to open up wasteland myself, there is a river next to it, and my house has mules that can be used. When the time comes, my house will open. Huang, do you want to rent this land?"

Wen said: "Sister-in-law, if you rent my land, you will rent all the ten acres of land, and you can lend the mules to you, and then you will be responsible for helping to open up the wasteland. For the first three years of wasteland development, the imperial court does not collect taxes. , I will not accept your more grain, so you can give half of it. From the fourth year onwards, the imperial court will collect taxes, so you should pay the grain, and then the two of us will follow the rules of the village to rent land. You give me less than [-]%, can you see?"

When Tian Shi heard her words, his eyes lit up: "Really? Sister, are you serious? Your family bought all the land by the river?"

She knew that the land by the river was quite big, and it was close to the village. Most of them bought some to make homesteads.

Of course, it’s not that no one wants to buy this piece of land. The main reason is that this piece of land is too big, and it is very difficult to open up wasteland. The things that are planted cannot make ends meet. Everyone is afraid that after the wasteland development, the situation at home will become worse, so they want to buy more fertile ones. ground.

Mr. Tian thought for a while, and said this concern: "This land has not been reclaimed. After reclamation, it will take many years for the soil to mature. Otherwise, the land will not be able to grow food, and the harvest will not be very good."

Tian's family is afraid of hard work, and the crops that are grown are very small, not only not enough to pay taxes to the government, but also to give Zuo's family some rake, when there is not much left in his family, it will be a waste of hard work.

Wen was stunned for a moment: "In those years, has no one ever planted this land? I think the vegetables in our family are growing right next to it. Isn't it bad for the crops to be harvested?"

Mr. Tian shook his head: "If it wasn't for growing vegetables on this land, it would be suitable for growing vegetables. Growing food and growing vegetables are two different things. Vegetables only have a fraction of the land, and the grain is more than ten acres. You will give more than ten acres of land, Is it all like growing vegetables? There isn't that much fertilizer in the house."

In fact, they live by the river, and their home is not very far from the river. They can dig some silt from the river, plus the plant ashes and the feces of poultry and livestock in their homes, and they can also wait for some useful fertilizers.

But to make all these ten mu of land into fertile soil, it still needs a lot of manure.

"My pigs, chickens, and mules' manure can be used for you." Wen said, "Just think about it. If you really think it's not good, I will discuss it with others. I have a small family and I can't grow so many fields. , you can only find someone to help.”

As Wen said, he settled on this matter. If he didn't rent it to Tian, ​​he would rent it to others. Anyway, he couldn't grow it all in his own home.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs Tian felt that this could still be done, but when Mrs Wen said it just now, the hesitation she showed might make Mrs Wen feel uncomfortable.

If she immediately said she could do it now, it would appear that she was inconsistent and hypocritical, but if I really found someone else and didn't give it to their home, then she would lose a lot.

Tian Shi was in a hurry, and his mind kept running: "Well, I will go back to discuss with my husband, and I will reply to you as soon as possible when I have the news, okay?"

Wen nodded: "Okay, you can send me a letter when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he came out of Zhou's house.

"Mother, has the Zhou family agreed?" Zuo Hua asked.

Wen said, "It's okay to think about it. Our land can be rented out by anyone you want."

Zuo Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, it's rented out, we'll just wait for the rent to be collected."

"The rent collection is enough to eat." Wen said with a smile, "The pressure on our family will be less in the future. Let's go to the village and ask some people to help open up the wasteland."

Kaifeng is just right now, just in time for spring ploughing next year.

So Wen's family went to find someone to help open up the wasteland again. It was the same as before. The hard-working man from the village helped to open up the wasteland and gave ten cents a day.

Everyone from the Zhou family came, and at the same time, they also invited a few people who were familiar with the village.

For a time, everyone knew that the Zuo family had bought more than ten acres of land, and everyone was envious.

"Tsk tsk, the Zuo family is really good at doing things. They are hiring people to build houses, and they are hiring people to make canned food. Now they are asking people to help open up wasteland. How much does it cost?"

"I heard from the village chief that the land he sells here is very expensive, and he sells eight taels of silver per mu."

"Eight taels per mu of land is not too expensive. The fourth person here is a little nervous, but he respects the assessment. A good paddy field sells for 15 taels, and an acre of medium-sized paddy fields sells for [-] taels. And the low-quality paddy fields are sold for [-] taels. It will sell for fifty taels, just like our homestead."

"Hey, didn't the ten acres of land cost more than 100 taels, how much money does the Zuo family have? I don't see why their family is so good at making money."

"I just said that his family has the ability to make canned food, sell food, embroider, buy a car, and buy servants. I think their family is the richest people in our village, even the village chief's family. Nothing compares."

"Even if the village chief is like this, there is no mule cart yet!"

"What do you know? The village chief's house has much more land than his. The village chief's house has more than 40 acres of land. You forgot?"

"But I think the writer should still have some savings. Her family is small, so she can't grow without buying so much land, otherwise she can buy more."

Zuo Shi: "..."

She just walked around the river and listened to so many people talking about their home. It can be seen that everyone is envious of their home for buying land.

Sure enough, having a house, a car, and land is the envy of all farmers.

Farmers love the land deeply, and they want to buy land when they have money.

Alas, she also thinks it's good to buy something if she has money, but she can't use all the money to buy land, she still needs to keep some business capital.
