Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 22 On Reason, Lin Long leads the Helper
There was no delay in finding someone to help collect the peanuts, so under Sun Xin's urging, Sun Li went to Dengzhou City to help find someone the next day. Three days later, Sun Li brought three men to Sun Xin's house.

Sun Li pointed to one of the old-looking men and introduced to Sun Xin: "This is Li Zhi, a well-known farmer in our Dengzhou City, and he has more than a dozen idlers under him."

Sun Xin glanced at Li Zhi's palm, and saw that his palm was covered with calluses, and he was indeed a farm worker.

Then Sun Li pointed to the two younger-looking men behind him. Sun Xin noticed that one of the men who looked like he was only 20 years old had a huge sarcoma on his head, which was very eye-catching.

Sun Li said to the older man, "This is Zou Yuan, nicknamed Lin Long."

He pointed to the young man in his early twenties behind him again: "This is Zou Yuan's nephew named Zou Run, nicknamed Unicorn Dragon. Both brothers are good guys from Laizhou, and there are a bunch of idlers under their command. If you are strong, you are used to looking for some help in Dengzhou City, and I heard that you need manpower, so I found them all for you."

When seeing Zou Run's appearance, Sun Xin had a guess in his heart, so Sun Xin was not surprised to hear the names of Zou Yuan and Zou Run.

Another two characters who went to Liangshan in the Water Margin.

When they appeared in Water Margin, they were already bandits on Dengyun Mountain. They were recruited by Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu to help rescue Zhenjiebao. A group of subordinates are helping others in Dengzhou City.

However, Sun Xin still murmured in his heart that if he wanted to be a bandit, Zou Yuan and Zou Run in front of him would definitely accept it, but now he wanted to grow crops honestly and recruit so many heroes from Liangshan to the fields. The ground doesn't seem like such a good idea.

So he quietly pulled Sun Li aside and asked in a low voice: "Are these people reliable? Why do I see that Lin Long and the one-horned dragon look like robbers?"

Sun Li looked back at Zou Yuan and Zou Run, and said to Sun Xin, "I don't have time to find so many helpers for you, so I can only ask in Dengzhou City. I met several times, that Li Zhi was more mature, unsmiling, I don't know his personality, but Zou Yuan and Zou Run are bold and forthright. The martial arts with guns and sticks is also well-done, and it's not bad."

As he said that, he solemnly said to Sun Xin: "I can assure you that these two are heroes. If such people agree to our errand, even if they don't like it in their hearts, they will definitely refuse to break their promises and steal your money. You don't know that. You can trust my brother's eyesight."

When Sun Li talked about Zou Yuan and Zou Run's martial arts, Sun Xin felt helpless, but seeing Sun Li's final conclusion so solemnly, Sun Xin was also a little convinced.

After thinking about it, in the Water Margin, Zou Yuan and Zou Run were willing to help their friends in the business of robbing prison after hearing their greetings from Mrs. Gu, and they even disbanded their cottage in Dengyun Mountain for this reason. It can indeed be regarded as a loyal evaluation.

Sun Xin decided to trust Sun Li's judgment.

He asked how much help the three of them could bring. Li Zhi said that he could bring five people to help, while Zou Yuan and Zou Run said that the harvest time for Sun Xin had not yet been determined, and calling them temporarily could only guarantee In addition to the two of them, they can bring four other helpers.

Sun Xin did the math, if the [-] people acted faster, the [-] mu of land could be harvested in four or five days. The time was relatively tight, but it was still in time.

After it was decided that they would come as soon as they called, Sun Xin thought that he was about to expand the Zhuangzi, so he said to the three of them: "My field will be built into a farm next year, and several of my subordinates will help. The farmer came to be the farmer's guest?"

"My Zhuangzi only harvests [-]% of the field lessons every year. I also provide seeds for everyone. Wells have been dug on the ground, so it is very convenient to irrigate."

Sun Xin's remuneration is already very generous. In these years, ordinary farmers have to pay more than [-]% of the field tax every year, and there is no such thing as providing seeds.

But after hearing what he said, the three of them looked at each other, but there was no change on their faces.

Li Zhi took the lead and asked, "May I ask how many mu of land the petty official has?"

"Thirty acres have been reclaimed now, and we will continue to reclaim after autumn. And my harvest of peanut seeds is extremely high."

After he said this, Li Zhi showed a disapproving expression and said directly: "I have never planted peanut seeds, my little official, and I don't know how to care for them. I am afraid that your land will be damaged."

Zou Yuan, after thinking about it for a while, said embarrassedly: "All of our subordinates are well-off men. I don't know how much your seed production is. I'm afraid we can't talk about it."

Sun News said that they felt that the land they had reclaimed was too little. If the [-] acres of land were self-cultivated farmers, it would be considered very rich, but it was really not convincing to build a farm, and the three of them were even more concerned about their peanut seeds. I really don't like it at all.

There is no harvest yet, and Sun Xin has no evidence to tell them how high his peanut production is. It is helpless to see that the three of them are not very tempted, so they can only turn around and start talking about the compensation.

"My harvest of peanuts is very good, and harvesting peanuts is also a hard job. According to me, I will pay by weight, and I won't treat everyone badly."

Hearing what he said, Zou Yuan was very straightforward: "Before, I had a good relationship with Sun Tixia. I heard from Tixia that you are also a heroic character. If this is the case, if you say something, we will count the money by weight." Yes."

On the other side, Li Zhi thought for a long time and said, "It's not convenient to calculate money by weight. It's better for me and my helpers to calculate according to the number of acres of land. If you take one mu of land, the officials will give you a lot of money." How about a hundred coins."

Sun Xin knew that Li Zhi's way of calculating money would definitely reduce his income, but seeing Li Zhi's attitude, he knew that he had no concept of his own yield per mu in his heart. Can nod.

The two sides quickly wrote documents: Li Zhi and his helpers helped Sun Xin collect one mu of land and Sun Xin gave him a salary of [-] Wen.And Zou Yuan agreed to harvest a stone of peanuts and give them fifty Wen.

Time flies like an arrow, and Dengzhou City has gradually entered the dog days during Sun Xin's hard work.

Slight summer season.

Sun Xin stood among the fields where the plants had grown very robustly, bent down and picked up a few peanuts from the soil.

When he opened the peanut pods, Sun Xin saw that the color of the endocarp in the pods had turned a little dark brown, and when he opened a few more pods, six of the dozens of pods had changed color.

"It's time to harvest."

He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. In the hot and humid summer air, the dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it was obvious that a heavy rain was about to come.

After the rain, the ground will be much softer, and it will be easier to hoe the ground, which is a good time to collect peanuts.

"Also, [-]% to [-]% of the peanuts are mature now. If they are not harvested, they may re-germinate in the ground after two rains, which will cause trouble."

Sun Xin murmured, turned around and told Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to tell them to hurry up and prepare the hoes for harvesting, while he went to Dengzhou City to inform those helpers who were waiting to help harvest.
