Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 41

Soon after Hu Sanniang went out, Sun Xin also woke up. He stretched his back on the bed, made a clicking sound, and then sighed, "Cheer up!"

"Why don't you say this is the golden age."

Even though he was young after a night of fighting, he slept very soundly afterward. After waking up, Sun Xin only felt refreshed. How could he be tired?
If Hujiazhuang holds a banquet, there will be a lot of guests, so it is impossible to hold a running banquet for several days.

But with Sun Xin’s reputation, the guests who can be invited are just yesterday for a meal. Yesterday, after most of the night, the guests left one after another. Today, only the craftsmen who set up the colorful sheds, the chefs who work, and the women in the village are left. We started to dismantle the shed, the shed, the stove, the stove.

Sun Xin opened two other tables to invite these helpers and the farmer who helped yesterday.

Hu Sanniang and Sun Xin accompanied the guests at the table.

Sun Xin was very generous, table after table of toasts, wine till the glass was dry, even the most ordinary farmer, did not put on airs at all, so many people who came to eat noodles secretly gave a thumbs up in their hearts.

And Hu Sanniang has been by his side all the time, drinking when he wants to drink, and talking about things when he wants to talk about things, Sun Xin can't help but sigh in his heart, everyone's ladies are really not just for fun, this daughter-in-law looks beautiful, and she is really good at dealing with people shot.

The meal lasted until the evening, and everyone was full of wine and food, and those who were supposed to dismantle the colorful shed and the stove had already finished their work.

Lehe called Sun Xin into the room, took out a list and checked and handed over the expenses and gift money for the past few days to Sun Xin one by one.

Sun Xin looked at the account, and found that the cost of running banquets in his own Sunjiazhuang this time reached more than 50 shi of grain.

The gift given by an ordinary family is two liters of grain, which is about three to five days' income of a farmer, which is very heavy.This time I married the daughter of Hujiazhuang, so the landlords who came here are not ugly. A few rich men can basically give three buckets of food, but even so, the total gifts from the guests are less than two. Ten stones, I lost more than 30 stones once I got married.

Sun Xin sighed in his heart that the daughter of the Hu family village really needs some ability to be able to marry. If he did not earn his own family business at that time and only collected a gift money of [-] shi for grain to get married, now the [-] shi is short of him. Neither Sun Li nor Sun Li knew how to pay back.

Xie Guole and Sun Xin got up and went to find some gifts for Lehe to take back. Lehe pushed and shoved for a long time before reluctantly accepting it.

When sending Lehe and Sun Li away, Sun Xin found that there was still a man sweeping the floor with a broom in the courtyard.

"Zou Run?" Zou Run, who was holding a broom, turned around and looked over, smiling honestly.

Le He pointed to Zou Run in the distance and said, "This guy has been working very hard these past two days, is he your farmer?
After sending people away, Sun Xin turned around and found Zou Run who was still working there and asked, "What happened these few days."

"Anyway, there's nothing to do in Zhuangzi. I'm diligent, so I'll naturally help out. This kind of work doesn't count. I can endure hardship."

"If you don't tell me at this time, you will be fine."

"Master, don't go away...Brother Sun Xin, I want to learn farming from you."

Sun Xin took a look at Zou Run. Since Zou Run returned to Sunjiazhuang, he didn't take the initiative to talk to him. Sun Xin felt that his vision of seeing people would not be so bad. With Zou Run's character, he must be holding back something. A big move, but he didn't expect that the last move he came up with was to find himself as a teacher.

After thinking about it, Sun Xin wanted to make good use of Zou Yuan and Zou Run. As for teaching Zou Run to farm, Zou Run could learn a lot if he really wanted to learn.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Zou Run didn't expect Sun Xin to agree so easily.

This is something he has been thinking about for a long time. Since Sun Xin invited him back to Zhuangzi and accepted him without hesitation, Zou Run has always felt a little guilty in his heart. Zou Yuan has also known about the things between him and Sun Xin these days. After persuading Zou Run several times, Zou Yuan told him that if he made up his mind to stay in Zhuangzi, he would follow Sun Xinqian and he would have a bright future.

Zou Runsi thought about it, and felt that if he just stayed in Zhuangzi like this, it would be inevitable that Sun Xin would have a grudge in his heart. If he really wanted to show his loyalty, he might as well be cruel and become a teacher with Sun Xin.

It's just that he is several years older than Sun Xin. Originally calling Sun Xin his elder brother, he felt that the other party might have objections, but now he didn't expect that he would agree without hesitation when he talked about apprenticeship.

He became happy, "Master, I'm going back to prepare things for my apprenticeship."

Sun Xin said with a smile: "Prepare slowly, it won't be in a day or two."

Seeing this scene, the other farmers in the yard were quite stunned.

When Sun Xin was about to go to the back room, Sister Gu, who was standing by the courtyard wall, suddenly held back a smile and said to Sun Xin: "Zou Run is five years older than you.

"There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher."

Sister Gu said with a smile: "When the time comes, he will call you master. I don't even dare to think about that scene."

"What's the matter? You call him brother and he calls me master. Then I can grow older."

In an instant, Sister Gu's gloating face collapsed.

After the wedding, Sun Xin's life is back on track.

The winter wheat on the wheat field has all emerged.

This year, Sun Xin opened up 400 mu of land, of which, except for [-] mu of cultivated land where peanuts and corn were planted, the other [-] mu were temporarily added, and the cultivation intensity was basically maintained at the level of [-] mu of land for one person. superior.

This kind of large-scale work cannot be done by manpower alone, so all farmers find that if they want to keep up with their ten mu of land, they must use cattle.

Some farmers initially felt that they could not afford to grow ten acres of land, so they asked Sun Xin to plant less land, but Sun Xin did not answer and asked them to cultivate the land first.

This year, the farmers all took two taels of silver to help reclaim the land, and they will officially lease the fields next year. Now they are all working for Sun Xin to earn money, so naturally Sun Xin can do whatever he wants.

The farmers began to plow the fields according to Sun Xin's order, and then everyone noticed the difference.

In the past, the family had to worry about all the farming, whether it was seedlings, irrigation, fertilizer or cattle, but all the resources needed for farming in Sun Xin's Sunjiazhuang had been properly allocated.

Irrigation canals are evenly stretched between the furrows. Wells are dug where they can be dug in each field, and various water storage facilities are properly equipped where wells cannot be dug. Everyone was surprised to find that the [-] mu of land in Sun Xin’s farm There is not an acre of land that cannot be watered.

However, the dozen or so cattle in Sun Xin’s farm are specially raised by someone in a unified way. As long as the farmers go to the farm to ask for cattle according to the farming time Sun Xin said, there is never a situation where they can’t get them. Seedlings, agricultural tools, etc. are also provided properly.

Under Sun Xin's arrangement, it seemed that all the planting activities in Sunjiazhuang were in order, no land was wasted, and all the crops in Sunjiazhuang grew surprisingly well.

Sun Xin still didn't say anything, but these farmers who had been tenant farmers all the year round gradually felt how powerful Sun Xin was.

"I've been tenanting a field all my life, and I've never planted such a good land."
