Chapter 187 Mobilization
Inside the hall.

Sun Li was sitting down, directly explaining the purpose of his visit, and he was still talking about raising frogs.

"You guys are all brains, help Grandpa Lizheng's staff to see which piece of land is more suitable."

Sun Li was enclosing a few pieces of land for building a house and raising frogs, but he couldn't decide which location was more suitable, so he came to Fat Miao'er's house to ask for advice.

One of them is a ruined temple, and the other is at the foot of Hutou Mountain, next to their charcoal kiln.

The last piece is next to the creek.

"The ruined temple..."

The four of them stagnated for breath and remained silent.

If Sun Lizheng hadn't mentioned it today, the five of them would have almost forgotten that an unforgettable event had happened there.

"Yes, it's the ruined temple." Sun Lizheng nodded.

"It's close to the village and the location is good. I think it's suitable for raising frogs."

"There is also the area at the foot of the mountain, next to the charcoal kiln. I thought that you would burn charcoal in winter, and that you would be close enough to keep you warm, and it would be convenient to chop firewood. In winter, you will definitely have to light a fire."

"As for the creek, there is no shortage of water sources, and water diversion is convenient. The disadvantage is that it is a bit far away."

Sun Li was analyzing the pros and cons of several locations and telling them to several people.

"Broken temple!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Shu, Compass, and Fat Miao'er gave the answer in unison.

Only Liu Ye'er was a step slower.

Sun Lizheng was startled, he never expected that their opinions were so unified.

So he nodded: "I also think that the ruined temple is good, it is far from the village, and it is convenient to enter and exit."

"Well, it's spring now, and everything that needs to be prepared has to be prepared. I'll call the villagers together tomorrow to discuss the specific matters of raising frogs."

tomorrow?

Fat Miao'er rolled her eyes, and smiled sweetly: "Grandpa Lizheng, don't wait for tomorrow, just take a nap, it's not too late to make money."

Fat Miao'er's eyebrows are curved, and there will be twenty people coming to her new house tomorrow to dig rice fields, so there is no delay.

"So anxious?"

Sun Lizheng glanced at Fat Miao'er, and he could see through her intentions at a glance.

He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then I will set it up in the next afternoon, and I will inform everyone."

"Let's go too."

"..."

Noon.

Threshing field.

All the villagers of Dashi Village were present, forming a bustling circle.

Sun Lizheng, Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu and the others stood in the middle, and chaotic and noisy voices came from their ears, reaching their ears.

"What's the matter?"

"It seems to be raising frogs, and Li is about to organize the whole village to raise them together."

"It's really a good thing to raise frogs together, I don't know how to raise them."

"Lizheng! Sun Lizheng! Tell everyone about it in detail!"

The inquiries came one after another.

Sun Lizheng raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Qu Jing, don't make any noise, everyone, listen to me."

"Ahem!" Sun Lizheng cleared his throat.

"Last year, many families in our village made money from frogs, including Fat Miaoer and Wei Shu who sold boiled frogs, Lao Meng's family and Lao Zhang's family who raised frogs, and those who caught frogs in summer. Don't talk too much, there will be dozens of articles..."

"That's right, last year my family caught frogs and sold them to Fat Miao'er, and then I earned fifty or sixty yuan. I bought more than ten catties of grain and ate it for several days!"

As soon as Sun Lizheng finished speaking, some villagers picked up the conversation.

"My family was also arrested, no adults were needed, just a few children in the family, a lot of people were arrested early and late."

"There is still my family, and my family, unfortunately..."

"My family was unlucky. The frogs caught in autumn didn't ovulate, so they couldn't be made into tadpoles. Otherwise, they could earn a fortune like the old Zhang's and Lao Meng's."

"..."

"Alright! Alright!"

With a wave of his hand, Sun Lizheng brought the topic back.

"Everyone has seen the profits of frogs. Fat Miao'er and I have made a total calculation, and we plan to enclose a piece of land and bring everyone to raise frogs together."

"If you don't understand, you can ask Fat Miao'er, you can ask Lao Zhang's family, you can ask Lao Meng's family, they can all help."

Next, Sun Lizheng shared the detailed plan with the villagers of Dashi Village.

It is to enclose a piece of land in the form of a homestead at the ruined temple outside the village, and then divide the land together and sell it in the form of land.

For example, if a certain family wants to raise frogs with two points of land, they will pay [-] Wen, and if they want to raise frogs with three points of land, they will pay [-] Wen.

If the family is rich and wants to raise an acre of land, they will pay one tael of silver.

The price is completely executed according to the price of the homestead.

"That's the thing. You all go home and discuss it carefully. Send me a letter in the next two days. I will count the number and enclose the land."

Sun Li was shouting at the top of his voice.

At the end, he waved to several of them: "Shunzi, Ermao, Limin, you guys stay here for a while, and go clean up the ruined temple later, it's too troublesome to stay there."

Although the ruined temple was burnt down, there are still residues all over the ground. To build a frog breeding base here, it is necessary to bulldoze it all and renovate it.

Demolish the temple?
Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu, Compass, and Liu Ye'er looked at each other, and they all saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

Once the ruined temple was destroyed, there were no traces to be found on the scene, and they could rest easy from now on.

"Little Fat Meow, how many frogs are you going to raise?"

After dismissing the villagers who came to consult, Sun Lizheng turned to look at Fat Miao'er and the others with a smile and asked.

How much do you raise?
This question really stumped them, Fat Miao'er tilted her head and pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, we are young and our family has a small population, so we must be too busy raising them by ourselves."

"That's true."

After listening, Sun Lizheng nodded in agreement, with regret in his eyes.

After all, among the five Fat Miao'er, only Li Xiaodao is a little older, and now he has entered the Yamen as a jailer. The rest of Wei Shu and Compass are only 11 years old, and Liu Ye'er and Fat Miao'er are even younger, and they are girls.

If you want to raise frogs, you must set up a thatched shed and keep it there all the time to prevent it from being stolen. It is indeed inconvenient for them, and there is no way to do it.

Sun Lizheng sighed and said regretfully, "I can only wait until you guys grow up, and it won't be too late to raise them."

"That's no use."

Compass rolled his eyes and grabbed Sun Lizheng by the corner of his clothes.

"Grandpa Lizheng, we can hire someone to take care of him!"

"Hire someone?" Sun Lizheng was startled.

"Yes, it is to hire people." Compass nodded quickly.

"That's an idea, too."

Sun Lizheng thought for a while and asked, "Who are you going to hire? Would you like me to introduce some honest and reliable ones?"

"No! No!" Compass waved his hands again and again.

"We have people here."

"Is there someone?" Sun Lizheng didn't know why.

Compass quickly said: "It's Grandpa Su, that is, Fat Miao'er's real grandfather."

At this point, Sun Lizheng understood a little.

Compass hit the iron while it was hot, and said awkwardly: "But Grandpa Lizheng, our village excludes foreigners and does not allow long-term residence. Can you be more accommodating?"
