Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

"Then I would like to thank you Susu on behalf of my youngest son." Xiao Zhuang thanked Huang Zisu with surprise after hearing that Huang Zisu had now allowed her youngest son to study medicine at Huang's family in the future.

"Small things don't deserve my sister-in-law's thanks.

Sister-in-law, does this little kid have a name yet? " Huang Zisu asked strangely when she saw that Xiaozhuang called this child his youngest son.

"My father-in-law said that we wait for the child to be named after a hundred days.

Otherwise, Susu, you have given this child a name. "Xiao Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Huang Zisu expectantly and asked.

"Sister-in-law, naming a child is something the elders do, so I won't interfere. The village chief is warming up in the firewood room at the back! I'm going to talk to him first." Huang Zisu shook her head, turned around and went to the farmer's backyard Go to the firewood room.

When Huang Zisu came to the firewood room in the backyard of the Zhuang family, she saw the village chief and his son repairing utensils in the firewood room, while Zhuang Liu was sewing with a needle and thread.

While the family was working, they also talked about the long and short of the family.

Mrs. Zhuang Liu, who was sitting at the door mending things, suddenly saw the light dim in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw that Huang Zisu had come to her house. He greeted her and said, "Susu, why are you here at my house? Come in and sit down! Warm up by the fire."

"Auntie, today I have something to say to the village head uncle." Huang Zisu approached the firewood room, she sat on the bench brought by Zhuang Xiaohe, and stretched out her palm to warm the fire.

Seeing that Huang Zisu had come to his house, Village Chief Zhuang didn’t repair the appliances, instead he looked at Huang Zisu and said with a smile: “Susu, if you have something to ask, you can ask someone to come over and let uncle go find you. I still need you to run."

"Anyway, I'm fine, so I'll just exercise my body.

I came to see Uncle today with two things to say.

The first thing is that now I have been canonized by the emperor as the fifth-rank imperial doctor, and I have [-] acres of land under my name, which is exempt from land tax.

After my third brother was admitted as a scholar, he also has [-] mu of land under his name, which can be exempted from land tax.

We, brother and sister, together have 120 mu of land under our name which can be exempted from land tax, but my family does not have so much land.

We can record the fields of the villagers in the village under the names of our brothers and sisters, and exempt them from taxes. We only collect half of the taxes that the villagers have to pay in the past.

I don't know if some villagers are willing to do this matter. If they are willing, they can ask the village chief to help our house move around, and collect half of the tax revenue for the grain. "Huang Zisu said directly to Village Chief Zhuang.

At this time, Mrs. Zhuang Liu brought home fried pumpkin seeds and made tea.

Huang Zisu was also polite, grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and began to nibble.

I didn't expect that the pumpkin seeds were so fragrant and easy to chew, and even the more they ate, the more delicious they became.

"Such a good thing, there must be no family that would refuse it.

After all, the grain that can earn half of the tax, and the family with a lot of land can earn a few taels of silver. This is a win-win thing. "When Village Chief Zhuang heard that it was such a good thing, he quickly agreed with joy on his face.

To this day, Village Chief Zhuang feels that the most correct decision he made in his life was to settle the Huang family in their village.

Now the villagers in their village not only live a long and healthy life, but also many villagers have become rich by relying on the Huang family fortune.

As a result, all the villagers in Shiliba Village now want to marry the girls and boys from their Yunhe Village.

They all take pride in marrying girls and boys from Yunhe Village.

"The second thing is, is there any precedent in our village for buying mountains, or selling them?" Huang Zisu was most concerned about the second thing, and she asked solemnly.

"Buy a mountain? Why buy a mountain? Anyway, the things in the mountain are ownerless. You just go to the mountain to pick whatever you want.

Moreover, there is no precedent for buying mountains in our village, and I have never heard of it. Village head Zhuang frowned and shook his head.

"There is still a difference.

After buying the mountain, the mountain is the property of the owner, and the things in the mountain belong to our family. Without my family's consent, no one can pick it, otherwise it will be a violation of the law.

And when I bought the mountain, I planned to plant something. "Huang Zisu explained with some disappointment.

She originally thought that as long as she had money, she should be able to buy it all over the mountain, but it turned out that she couldn't do it even if she had money.

"Father, have you forgotten the slope at the head of the village?" At this time, Zhuang Dahe reminded his father.

"Yes! How did I forget this place?" Village Chief Zhuang said after being reminded by his eldest son, and he patted himself on the head with a smile.

"Uncle Village Chief, what's the situation on this slope?" Huang Zisu, who was on the side, saw the appearance of the village chief and his son, and she knew that there should be a turning point in the matter of buying the mountain.

"There is a slope on the left side when we enter the village! Susu, you should know!" Village head Zhuang asked Huang Zisu.

"Of course I know that hillside, and the hillside is not too small, but there are some shrubs and thorns growing on it. Could it be that this hillside can be used for trading?" Huang Zisu also understood and asked.

Every time they enter the village, they have to pass by the foot of this slope.

The soil slope is more than ten miles horizontal and five miles vertical. If the hillside can be used for trading, it is very suitable for buying and planting trees.

"This slope is relatively steep, which is not suitable for digging fields. Another reason is that there are many rocks in the slope, and it is difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult to clean the stones in the slope, which takes time and effort.

Secondly, the soil slope is a bit far from the water source, and it is inconvenient to water it back and forth. After adding up a series of reasons, the soil slope has been abandoned for a long time.

After the yamen knew about this, they originally wanted to sell it to a rich family to build a village on the slope.

However, no one offered to buy it, so the slope remained vacant.

Susu, if you think that soil slope is suitable for your family, uncle will go to the yamen and ask how this soil slope is bought and sold. "Mr. Zhuang thought of the slope and explained it to Huang Zisu.

"How is the soil quality of the slope? Is it suitable for planting trees?" Huang Zisu asked.

"The soil slope can be reclaimed and cultivated. Naturally, the soil quality is nothing to say, and planting trees is naturally not a problem.

It's just that the soil slope is a bit steep and there are a lot of rocks inside, so it won't delay your family's tree planting. "Zhuang Dahe knew the situation of the slope, he said hastily.

"On the soil slope, can we drill a well, or at least find a water source." Huang Zisu continued to ask.

"To be honest, the soil slope is a bit steep and far from the ground, so it is difficult to dig a well for water on the soil slope!
However, they are willing to spend a lot of time and money, and spend a lot of manpower and material resources on people surveying the ground to dig wells. There is still some hope that they can find water sources, but this is not something that is guaranteed to succeed, it depends on luck. " Village head Zhuang pondered for a moment, but he didn't dare to make a promise, for fear of delaying the affairs of the Huang family.

Since the Huang family wanted to buy mountains and plant trees, the Huang family must have made a big move.
