Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 41 Impatient

After he was sure, the aura immediately rushed towards the peach tree, and it felt like the peach tree had been sublimated, evolving from an ordinary peach tree to a spiritual root.

When Shi Zhongkui pretended to look carefully at the writing on the Heaven-Bending Stone, hoping to absorb more spiritual energy.

The Tianbu stone in his hand trembled suddenly, and he instantly understood that the meaning of the stone in his hand was 'enough, if you inhale again, you will lose your face'.

I hurriedly shouted "stop" in my heart.

The space immediately stopped absorbing the spiritual energy, and then felt that the sky-filling stone was slowly absorbing the free spiritual energy between the sky and the earth.

Does this mean that after waiting for a while, the Sky Mending Stone will automatically absorb the aura of heaven and earth and slowly recover?

If this is the case, isn't it a solar power bank!
After waiting for a few seconds, Shi Zhongkui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Butianshi did not respond, and when he looked at Jia Baoyu again, something was different.

Before your own strength is not enough, it is better to be careful.

And we can't let the lame monk, the lame Taoist, or others take away the sky-replenishing stone.

Returning the psychic treasure jade to Jia Baoyu, Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "After a while, I will write a picture for my brother's heart and give it to Brother Bao to taste."

Jia Baoyu took Baoyu and said with a smile, "It's better to be a new poem or a new word."

Shi Zhongkui thought for a while, wishing he could smile like this, "No problem, but, as a reward, Brother Bao has to send me a poem or a poem."

"This", although Jia Baoyu felt that he was not a fool, he also knew that he would definitely not be able to compose a poem like 'a letter from home is only for the field'.

Shi Zhongkui laughed, "You and I make friends through poetry, what we care about is our state of mind, not high or low, brother Bao understands?"

Jia Baoyu nodded in relief after hearing this, and couldn't help feeling that Shi Zhongkui was indeed a noble character.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't talk nonsense this time, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly said to Shi Zhongkui, "Brother, please stop. The three of my brothers are in a hurry to go back and report. Tomorrow, my brother will personally take someone to the Daxing County Yamen to find my brother. Let me go."

Shi Zhongkui nodded with a smile, and sent the three of them away.

Go back to the study, write a letter first, wait for Shun'er to come back, and then send it back to the Daxing County Government to hand over to Yu Honggao.

Then close your eyes and focus on the space.

The space didn't change much, it's just that the peach tree became faintly glowing.

There were also twenty peaches on the tree that were already fruiting, and they became more moist and shiny at this time.

When this batch of peaches is ripe, if they really become spiritual fruits, it will be of great help to my cultivation.

The next day, Shun'er hurried back to Daxing again. In the afternoon, Shun'er not only came back quickly, but also drove over with Uncle Fu and a few servants in a carriage.

Yu Fu hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Boqian, the master ordered the younger one to take the young master back to the county office immediately. You need a set of items and fields, and the master has already prepared them at noon."

Shi Zhongkui didn't expect that cheap teacher Yu Honggao would be so eager, and ordered Shun'er to pack the gifts from Xue Pan, Feng Ziying and Jia's family yesterday.

He asked Uncle Fu to sit first, and then served tea, while he sat on the main seat and thought, it was already the middle of April in the lunar calendar, and many rice fields in the north had already been planted, and if it dragged on, the farming season would have passed.

"Master, everything is packed."

Shi Zhongkui nodded, and at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, the motorcade stopped at the gate of the county government office.

When they came to the backyard, because there were no female relatives, as long as Shi Zhongkui didn't go to the small courtyard where Yu Honggao lived, he didn't need to avoid suspicion in other places.

In the study, Yu Honggao grabbed Shi Zhongkui, "Bo Qian, is everything you said in your letter today true?"

Shi Zhongkui replied with a smile, "Teacher, please don't worry, the disciples don't say they are 7% sure, but there are still 8% or [-]%."

"Enough." Yu Honggao laughed loudly, "Yu Fu, tell the county government's head arresters and government servants to get ready to go."

Uncle Fu hurriedly agreed, and then hurried to the front office.

Before dark, a group of people came to a farm where the Grand Canal and Tonghui River flowed out of a tributary.

Yu Honggao pointed to a large piece of farmland and said to Shi Zhongkui, "Boqian, all the more than 50 farms are at your disposal, and I have also prepared a second-entry brick house for your next three. The place where the moon reads."

50 is equal to five thousand mu, so it goes without saying that this must be the farm of Shan Guo Gongfu.

According to the rice price of 7 or 8 yuan per catty, if the average yield per mu is 2 catties, the cost, the rations of farmers, and the reason why grain prices will fall during the harvest season are deducted.

This farm can make a profit of 5 to 6 taels of silver a year.

It stands to reason that the government of Shanguo should not be short of money.

But Shi Zhongkui thought about it again, and he knew in his heart that he wanted to maintain the dignity of the Duke's Mansion, and there were also human relations between relatives and family friends.

Not to mention 10,000 taels of silver for a year, even 3 to 5 taels can be consumed.

That's why there are big nobles borrowing money to live on, and finally being paid off the arrears.

Moreover, a farm of 24 mu was nothing in ancient times. Xu Jie, who overthrew Yan Song during the Jiajing period, returned home in his later years and his children had a total of [-] mu of fertile land.

This is called the real landlord.

Besides, the old man was unlucky enough to meet Hai Rui, but he still wanted to keep these fields in front of Hai Rui.

In the end, of course, he was pushed back by Hai Rui, who was so stubborn that he dared to scold Emperor Jiajing, and the ending was not so good.

It can be said that if there was no such thing, history would definitely have a very high evaluation of Xu Jie.

And if Shan Guogong's mansion is really short of money, why would he dare to hand over the farm to Yu Honggao to take care of it?
Seeing the puzzled expression on Shi Zhongkui's face, Yu Honggao laughed, "For you as a teacher, I exchange the donkey-hide gelatin produced by my hometown for the next two years in exchange for the right to dispose of this farm for one year.

Boqian, don't let your teacher down. "

Shi Zhongkui was taken aback for a moment, the deal must have exceeded 5 taels of silver, and he couldn't help being moved.

"Teacher, please rest assured, the disciple will definitely live up to the entrustment."

In this way, Shi Zhongkui lived in the farm.

Early the next morning, when Shi Zhongkui, who had been meditating all night, opened his eyes, a bright light suddenly flashed across his eyes.

And when exhaling, a white mist gathered and did not disperse, and it flew straight for two meters before it began to disperse.

"It's done."

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed, last night he planned to harvest a crop of twenty peaches, but he didn't expect that the peaches that were supposed to ripen once a day were not yet ripe.

After surprise, there is great joy.

The longer it takes to ripen, the higher the probability is that the grade of peaches has been upgraded.

In other words, peaches have surpassed the ranks of ordinary peaches and are evolving towards spiritual fruits.

However, because there were twenty peaches on the tree, after Shi Zhongkui thought about it, he still picked one to try.

Unexpectedly, the fruit melted in his mouth, turned into aura and rushed into his body.

Shi Zhongkui was busy meditating and adjusting his breath, and began to practice.
