Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 9 Junsun newly bought Niu Dengzhou Road
Sun Xin questioned: "Is the money enough? Isn't it still a lot short?"

"Heh, brother, naturally I have to help you out a little bit. The family gathered together and your 50 taels of silver is already enough. There are also two or thirty taels of money to prepare for the marriage and build a house."

Hearing what Sun Li said, Sun Xin also understood that Sun Li must have raised money somewhere else to help him raise the money for the bride price.

He frowned slightly, he didn't want Sun Li to pay the money.

"Brother is not in a hurry. I have agreed to come to propose marriage after the autumn harvest. I will naturally receive a gift when I collect the grain."

Sun Li shook his head and said, "Naturally, this kind of thing should be rushed sooner rather than later."

What he didn't say was that he was afraid that his family had managed to scrape together the money. If he didn't make an appointment in advance in case there was something urgent to spend all the money during the autumn harvest, it would be impossible for him to raise a hundred shi of grain at that time. It's really too late.

But Sun Xin shook his head.

"I plan to use this money to buy cattle."

Sun Li frowned instantly: "Whether marriage is more important or farming is more important, and it's not an agreement that I will help you with farming cattle? You listen to me on such a big matter."

Sun Li acted like an older brother. According to the usual situation, Sun Xin would definitely listen to him at this time, but today Sun Xin has made up his mind.

"Brother doesn't know, it's convenient for farmers to have their own cattle to do things, and after buying a few cattle, it's considered a family property, isn't it?"

"I've already made a plan for this matter. I'll go to the cattle and horse market to take a look at it in the early morning!"

"You stop!"

Sun Xin took the money and ran away, Sun Li hurriedly chased after two steps, but saw that Sun Xin had already slipped out of the door, Sun Li looked back to see that Sun Xin had left him an ingot of ingots on the table.

Sun Li couldn't help smiling wryly.

He hurried out because he was afraid of being overtaken by himself.Why did my younger brother suddenly change his mind to be so righteous?

But thinking about his younger brother, he had always looked lazy before, but now that he has an idea, Sun Li is not angry in his heart. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he finally has the meaning of being the pillar of the family, and his younger brother has finally grown up. Now, I can rest assured in the future.

Today, Sun Xin earned 50 taels of silver with that tiger whip wine as soon as he made a move. Although it sounds like a windfall, but if he can earn 50 taels today, maybe the younger brother will really become a big man tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Sun Li felt that the burden on his body was lightened.

"Lady, I'll go to the yamen to answer first."

Mrs. Le came out, seeing that Sun Xin was not there, she asked in confusion, "Why did Uncle Sun Xin come back and leave just now?"

"Didn't you answer an errand today? Why are you going out again?"

Sun Li replied: "I want to take two days off to go to Dulonggang."

Although Sun Xin said that he would not let him propose a marriage for him and took 50 taels of the 40 taels of silver with him, Sun Li felt that the remaining money would be enough for the bride price this autumn.

The matter of proposing marriage should be clarified earlier. If it is delayed for a long time, it will easily cause side effects. Since Sun Xin is working so hard, he, as an older brother, has to do something.

Sun Xin took the money and ran all the way out the door. He was relieved to see that Sun Li was not chasing Sun Xin. He hurried to the cattle and horse market in Dengzhou City.

Livestock are the main source of labor in this era, and the place where cattle and horses are sold in a big city like Dengzhou City must be a very prosperous place.

Sun Xin had already inquired about the location of the cattle and horse market a few days earlier, and he was still a little excited when he thought that he would soon be able to own farming cattle, and that an important item in this year's farming plan would be completed soon.

After entering the cattle and horse market and seeing other people's tall and burly appearance, several people came to Sun Xin's side.

"The officials dare to buy livestock. Do you need someone to help you as a staff officer?"

Sun Xin only saw a few people wearing short jackets with a particularly long right sleeve, and knew that these people were the middlemen of Yaxing at this time.

According to Sun Xin's memory of the owner, Sun Xin knew that business must go through a dental office these days, not only because it is difficult for outsiders to understand the inside story of a certain industry and is easy to be deceived, but also because the imperial court needs to collect taxes through the dental office, so for farmers The sale of cattle is designated by dental agencies.

It is also okay to buy it privately, but it will involve tax issues and it is easy to be troubled.

If the landlord is powerful, he naturally doesn’t have to worry about whether his farm cattle have paid taxes or not, but Sun Xin’s business has just started, and he has enough money so there is no need to cause trouble, so he intends to follow the rules.

After taking a look at several yamen, I chose one who looked smart, and the other yamen were not annoyed, they smiled and went back to wait for the business.

After learning that Sun Xin wanted to buy a cow, the toothman beamed with joy.Although the price of selling cattle is not as high as selling horses, it is still a high-profit business. The Naya man repeatedly said that he knew a lot of cattle sellers, so he took Sun Xin there.

The cattle and horse market in Dengzhou City was built near the outskirts of the city, surrounded by farmland, but it was very prosperous and full of people. As soon as Sun Xin walked in, he felt that there was a strong smell of barns everywhere.

Walking along the way, Sun Xin discovered that this place has been planned into many areas. There are places for selling horses and mules and other large animals, and there are also places for selling small pigs and lambs. Among them, the field for selling cattle is the largest.

It was agreed that to buy a farm ox, the man needed to pump water for a penny, so the man took Sun Xin to a familiar businessman.

The cowherd watching the stall saw the middle man and walked out with a smile. The middle man introduced to Sun Xin that this family is a well-known big cattle raising family in Dengzhou City, and they always bring a few cows to the place all year round. This episode is for sale.

The middleman pointed directly at a cow in the shed and said, "What do the officials think of this cow?"

Sun Xin went up to have a look, and saw that the big yellow ox was extremely strong.

"I buy bones in the spring and buy meat in the autumn. Now that winter has just passed, other people's cattle can't get fat, but the officials see that this farm cattle is no bigger than other cattle? The officials buy it in Zhuangzi. Useful."

After carefully sizing up the cattle, Sun Xin raised his eyes to look at the expressions of the man in the middle and the cowherd next to him. Seeing that they secretly exchanged glances, Sun Xin shook his head. He walked directly behind the cattle and touched it. That cow's butt.

Sure enough, the expressions of the middleman and the cowherd changed instantly.

Although the previous life was already in the era of agricultural machinery, but Sun Xin was born in the 60s, how could it be possible that he never used livestock?
Sun Xin worked as a village doctor and raised a large number of cattle in the countryside. Sun Xin also treated many cattle. He has studied modern veterinary medicine seriously. When it comes to cattle care, his vision is definitely better than most people in this era.

Although the man just now boasted about the ox, Sun Xin could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the ox.

It is true that this cow is bigger than the surrounding cows, but its belly is strangely bulging, and even though its physique is so strong, its coat color is not bright.

Sure enough, when Sun Xin walked up to the cow's buttocks, he felt a hard lump. This kind of bump was the trace left after moxibustion. This cow must have just been ill.

Sun Xin knew that the big farm cow in front of him was a sick cow, and there might be something in the bulging stomach. Sun Xin pressed the hard part on the cow's buttocks lightly, and he really felt the cow's pain. He took two steps forward in pain, and almost knelt down, but he didn't kick his legs like other cows, and he didn't seem to have any strength at all.
