Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 72
Thinking that the silt needed to improve the white sugar soil should contain relatively rich nutrients, it is not easy to choose, and most people these days are not sure, so Sun Xin decided to go to a few nearby villages and counties to choose one.

Hu Sanniang sent someone to Dulonggang to contact Hu Taigong last night, and asked Hu Taigong to invite all the businessmen who Sun Xin owed money to Dulonggang to gather together. At that time, Sun Xin will pay the money together, and the settlement will be clear in front of Hu Taigong. It can also reassure the elderly.

In the afternoon, the boy who reported the letter came back and told Sun Xin Taigong Hu that it would take some time to summon those merchants, so there was no rush to go to Hu's Village.

So Sun Xin went back to the yard and talked to Hu Sanniang, then took three apprentices to a nearby prefecture and county, and found some fish farmers to look at the condition of their pond mud.

In the end, Sun Xin selected some fertile ponds and silted ditches and asked someone to dredge them, and negotiated the price of each truckload of river mud. Finally, the river mud needed for the 100-mu field cost about [-] taels of silver.

Sun Xin didn't talk too much, and promised that they would pay in person as long as they transported the mud to the ten-mile card.

Dengzhou is close to the sea, and there are many people who eat sea fish, but only a few people eat river fish. Moreover, these days, all fish products are sold nearby, and the sales of fish by those who raise fish are mediocre. The ponds used for irrigation are just for raising fish. The silt can be dug out at any time after the irrigation and release in summer, but I didn’t expect that someone would come to collect it from afar. Shi Du was very enthusiastic and promised to send the soil to Shili Pai soon.

When Sun Xin returned to the village and told Zou Yuan that he had solved the matter of Sha Tang Tu, Zou Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Entrusting him to manage the work of the whole village during Sun Xin's absence really exhausted him, and it can be regarded as a taste of the hard work of Sun Xin in his daily work. This is because Sun Xin has given him most of the work schedule. Zou Yuan couldn't imagine how busy it would be for Sun Xin to write plans every night after completing these tasks by himself.

Even after working for a few days, Zou Yuan is no longer jealous of Sun Xin's fortune. The money he earns is really hard money. Sometimes he would wonder, how hard it is for Sun Xin to work so hard, how can he still have time to make San Niang's stomach hurt? grown up?
At this time, it was finally possible to hand over, and he hurriedly reported to Sun Xin.

After handing over the matter almost, he proposed to Sun Xin: "Recently, there is no shortage of manpower for farming above our village. The owner of the village said about training farmers, because our village does not accept field lessons. The land is also convenient, and the free time on weekdays is much more than that of farming land on other farms. When you say that you want to train, the farmers don’t object. It’s just that there are too few people in our village who can practice martial arts, and they don’t know Arranging troops, if we want to train these dealers, I'm afraid there are not enough talents."

Hearing this, Sun Xin paid more attention to it. Thinking about it, he wants to form his own Zhuangzi's armed force, but now the ones who are good at martial arts above Zhuangzi are themselves, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao and Tang. Long, at most, add Hu Sanniang and Gu Dajie, the six men all have their own jobs. Although Hu Sanniang and Gu Dajie are definitely qualified to train these dealers in martial arts, but in this era, Gu Dajie is still a big girl who has never left the court. It was inconvenient, and Hu Sanniang was even more unsuitable for horseback riding training with her big belly.

And everyone is good at martial arts, but they are not so professional in fighting.

Sun Xin nodded and said: "I know about this matter. In the past few days, everyone should stand up first. If you have time, I will come to train. This Baojia should be practiced as soon as possible. As for the lack of manpower, I will go out and look for it."

A few days later, the truckload of river mud was transported to Sunjiazhuang. Sun Xin settled the money with the person who brought the mud, and the work of treating the sugar field began quickly.

Sun Xin first asked Zou Yuan to do a good job of drainage in one of the relatively easy-to-manage sugar fields, and then asked Zou Yuan to bring the farmers who had disputed before to the field.

The originally wet and ugly land has become much more normal after two days of drainage, but as soon as Sun Xin led people to mix the river mud into the land, the sand that flowed down from between the fingers when he grasped it was very visible to the naked eye. It has almost turned into a fat and oily place.

The farmer who was standing on the sidelines, who had looked suspiciously at first, turned from suspicion to shock when they saw the appearance of the land.

No one is worried about who the land will be leased to next year.

Sun Xin plans to use the treated land this year to plant peanuts and soybeans first, use rhizobia from the roots of leguminous plants to increase the fertility of the soil, and then add fertilizer several times in the next year or two. In a few years, the land will slow down. Slow ones can also be fattened up.

After finishing the business in the village, Sun Xincai rode to Dulonggang, came to a market in front of Dulonggang, found a hotel that looked relatively large in the market, and asked the waiter to carry two jars of the best wine in the store , took two sheep in the market, washed and stripped them clean, watched them cook neatly, and then called two helpers to carry all the wine and lambs to Dulonggang with him.

In the past, he didn't have money and dared not spend such extravagantly, but with his current wealth, he doesn't care about such etiquette.

Hu Taigong was really happy when he came to the door with so many gifts.

It's not for this little pig raising wine ceremony, but mainly because the son-in-law showed his respect for him in front of several merchants, which made him look good.

But in private, he said to Sun Xin: "The family is going to buy meat. You brought this to us. I will give you the money later."

"Daddy, no need."

"Don't talk too much, take this money and go back to eat and drink with Sanniang."

Seeing Hu Taigong insisted on refusing, Sun Xin had no choice but to go in with him first.

Following a group of traders to Zhuangzi, Hu Taigong had already asked someone to prepare a table of dishes.

Sun Xin knew that Taigong Hu was worried that he would not bring enough money, so he wanted to eat and drink with these few first to ease the relationship.

After all, what I owe this time is hundreds of taels of silver, even if it is in Hu Taigong's hands, the money cannot be taken out without blinking.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat down to settle the accounts, and the prices given by the merchants after drinking happily were indeed a little discounted compared to before, and each item was always lower by dozens of taels. deficit.

Hu Taigong watched Sun Xin take out the gold and silver from the bag and weigh them with the traders on the scales, and settled the accounts one by one, and his eyes gradually felt relieved.

Sending those merchants down to Dulonggang, Hu Taigong said to Sun Xin with a bit of alcohol, "Speak inside."

"Looking at your appearance, money is really slowing down now?"

Sun Xin nodded with a smile, Hu Taigong also let out a sigh of relief.
