Destiny Only Han

Chapter 138 Planting beans at the foot of the South Mountain, the grass is full of bean sprouts
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng.

On June [-]th, the rain that had lasted for several days suddenly stopped, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, the weather cleared up, and a round of red sun jumped into the sky.

A four-wheeled carriage, guarded by hundreds of soldiers, unsteadily drove out of Nanzheng County, crossed a stone bridge that was almost submerged in water, and turned towards the wilderness in the north of the county.

After passing through a small mulberry forest, the carriage drove into a river beach and hilly area.

The river beaches and hills here are neither low nor high, and the undulating slope is very gentle, so it looks much flatter and wider, especially when you look into the distance, you can't feel the ups and downs at all, as if you are inside Yimapingchuan flat land.

By the side of the gurgling stream, the carriage gradually stopped. Liu Ying jumped off the city first, and looked back at a mature and charming woman in the carriage, Lu Zhi, who was wearing a lake blue silk dress.

It's just that Lu Zhi's face didn't have the slightest joy of the outing, especially when she got off the carriage, her face was stretched even longer.

"You don't get wrinkles when you smile!" Liu Ying made a grimace, as if she wanted to amuse Lu Zhi.

However, Lu Zhi just squeezed out a smiling face that was not much better than crying, and then said angrily:

"Xiao He seems to be quite a kind person, but I didn't expect to bully children! Come on, let's go back to Nanzheng, mother will talk to him carefully!"

Liu Ying raised her hands and tugged at her sleeves: "The teacher didn't bully me, I did it voluntarily!"

Lu Zhi put one hand on his hip: "Ten thousand knives are used to exchange this [-] mu of wasteland, and you still say you are not bullying people! You don't understand, mother understands! You let me go..."

Do you think it's bad?I'm too embarrassed to tell you... Liu Ying clenched tightly: "Although this is a wasteland, but fortunately, the terrain is flat, and there are several small rivers flowing through it. As long as it is reclaimed, it will be a first-class good land!"

Lu Zhi struggled a few times but did not break free, and said helplessly: "It sounds good, as long as it is cultivated, do you know how much effort it will take to open up wasteland?"

"Okay, even if there is no shortage of manpower in Hanzhong now, it will take at least five years for this wasteland to be reclaimed and become a mature land. That is to say, your teacher lied to you, go to this piece of land, bird..."

She hesitated for a while, but decided not to swear: "It takes at least five years of money to invest in this poor place! And it will take at least five years to get back the money! 800 million dollars! Mother has never seen such a waste of money in her life." How much money! Don't stop Mother, Mother must talk to Xiao He!"

Look, you've finally been exposed... Liu Ying raised her head and looked at Lu Zhi, her two thin lips were pressed together, ready to brew her emotions.

The cause of the matter is actually very simple, because of supporting the army to go out, and the follow-up [-] troops will also go north for reinforcements one after another, Xiao He's cash flow is almost overwhelmed.

Therefore, he plans to stop the purchase of new weapons first, let the craftsmen in the army refurbish the old weapons, and then distribute them to soldiers for use.

Three years of new, three years of old, three years of mending...

However, this is what Liu Ying does not want to see. The small blast furnaces at the coal and iron trading company have been repaired, and it is just when the production is about to blow out. Is it wasted!

So at the price of providing [-] ring-shou knives free of charge, he drew a circle in the north of Nanzheng County...

That is, the [-] mu of wasteland under his feet at this moment.

Well, under his shameless face, the coal mines and iron mines of the Coal and Iron Trading Co., Ltd. are the key to this deal.

According to the land price in Hanzhong, a wasteland like this would cost at least three hundred yuan per mu, and the total price would be over ten million yuan.

Liu Ying won such a large piece of land at the price of [-] ring swords. It is indeed a profit, and it is a huge profit!
As for what Lu Zhi said, that was the real lie, she just wanted to keep the money in her own hands...

After all, with such a large piece of land and close to the water source, even if the most efficient way is to cultivate and graze at the same time, the income from grazing cattle and sheep is enough to pay for the cost of land reclamation.

The reason why Xiao He agreed was not all because Liu Ying was his student and also Liu Bang's son... well, well, the latter is the main reason.

But the more important reason is that Hanzhong at this time is extremely sparsely populated. There are less than 50 people living on nearly [-] square kilometers of land, and many of them are not permanent residents!

Xiao He would not have cared about the mere tens of thousands of acres of land if Liu Ying hadn't offered to pay for it!
He also wanted to see what new tricks Liu Ying could come up with!

And there is a deeper reason. As long as Liu Ying reclaims this wasteland, when the grains mature, taxation will naturally be inevitable.

A true win-win is when both parties feel they have won...

Next to the creek, the tugging continued.

Liu Yingbian pursed her lips, brewing emotions, and was about to launch a unique skill of children to break down Lu Zhi's defense.

Lu Zhi looked indifferent, and used his actual actions to tell Liu Ying that you can cry as much as you want, but my mother can't hear you!
In the creek, Liu Le, who came to play with him, took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his skirt and walked into the water, happily touching crabs and snails...

Liu Ying's expression was gloomy, and she wanted to cry: "Mother, you have changed..."

Lu Zhi looked up at the sky: "Who, who is talking?"

Liu Ying said angrily: "Mother, believe it or not, I ran away from home!"

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows with joy: "Really? The house is small, if you don't live at home, just turn the vacated room into a silkworm room!"

This bitch can't get in... Liu Ying rolled her eyes, and a flash of light flashed in her heart: "Mother, do you believe that I can reclaim all this land before the end of this year!"

Lu Zhi pursed her lips: "Blow it, keep blowing it! You really deserve to be your father's seed, just like your father at a young age..."

Liu Ying rubbed her head on her arm: "Could it be that I am no longer mother's cutie?"

Before Lu Zhi could speak, the little loli in the stream ran over grabbing a crab as big as her face: "No, you're not, I'm your mother's cutie!"

Crab, Mr. Crab, what's wrong with you... Liu Ying shrank back involuntarily as she looked at the struggling crab with its teeth and claws open.

"Cut, coward!" Little Loli curled her lips in disdain, and quickly tied the crab with a straw rope.

Lu Zhi on the side was too lazy to talk to her, just looked at Liu Ying and said, "Your father is the King of Han now, as the future crown prince, you should learn how to govern the country from Xiao He, instead of doing these messy things..."

Liu Ying retorted: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and agriculture is the foundation for the country. Why is it such a mess when you take the lead in reclaiming wasteland and farming?"

Lu Zhi shook his head and sighed slightly: "Your father told you these things, right? I didn't expect that after so many years, he still hasn't forgotten his identity as a farmer..."

"Baby, you are different from your elder father, don't go astray!"

Liu Le on the side nodded heavily: "Don't worry, mother, I'm a girl, so I won't be like Daddy!"

What's the matter with you!In other words, the old Liu is actually a farmer, he hid it deep enough... Liu Ying rolled her eyes at the little Lolita, doubts abounded in her heart, what does the farmer do?

Lu Zhi couldn't laugh or cry and patted Liu Le on the head: "Yes, you just need to grow up happily, and in the future, mother will find you a more reliable lover..."

She is basically in a state of stocking for the little loli now. Anyway, the other party will definitely become the princess of the Han Dynasty, and female celebrities are no longer important.

Little Lolita was a little shy, lowered her head and twisted her belt: "I'm still young... I hate my mother..."

others?Hate?What the hell... Liu Ying was stunned. In his mind, there was still a vague image of Liu Le holding a broom, fighting with Lu Tai and others, and winning a big victory!
It was difficult for him to associate the woman who looked down on thousands of soldiers and showed off her power back then with the little loli who was blushing now.

Liu Ying couldn't help but murmured in a soft voice: "The strength of the mountain is overwhelming, and the Liu family has a girl who has just grown up..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, the little loli raised her thick eyebrows with a brush. She just hesitated about her ladylike image, and didn't jump over to punch and kick Liu Ying immediately.

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "The first sentence is very good, but the latter sentence is much worse. But you are still young, when you grow up a bit, you should read more books."

She touched Liu Le's head, looked back at Liu Ying and continued to ask, "You still haven't said, what exactly are you going to do with such a large piece of land?"

"Don't say it's like planting wheat in Yangzhai! Although the land there is barren, it is all ripe land. If you tidy up a little bit, the yield will not be bad. It's all wasteland here. You have to do a good job of connecting the seeds for the first three years. There is no plan to take it back.”

Liu Ying nodded and said, "My child knows, so I didn't plan to plant food, but to plant soybeans first, and then grow the land for a season or two before planting crops."

"And I'm sure, I'll transform this place into a fertile field within two years, and let the teacher regret it!"

Seeing Liu Ying's firm attitude, Lu Zhi simply let it go. Anyway, Liu Ying is still young, so there is no harm in suffering more.

As for Xiao He, I have to go to him and have a good talk.

Even if it is unavoidable for more than 20 or [-] years, at least the mountains in the distance must be included!

In this world, the surname is Liu!
When Liu Le took Lu Zhi to catch fish by the stream, Liu Ying looked back at the green plain in the distance, thinking about how to use this land in her heart.

It is summer now, with lush vegetation and abundant rain, the method of burning wasteland is completely unworkable.

Then, why not just raise some sheep here, weed weeds biologically, and increase the soil fertility at the same time, and then find someone to plow the land and sow soybeans.

He thought about it, for such a large area, relying solely on Qu Yuanli, the efficiency would not be able to keep up with the farming season.

Therefore, it is necessary to invite a new artifact to debut!
