Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 284 Taking care of Zhuangzi
This manor was originally the family's private property, and it was also a place where they came to spend a short stay in summer.Therefore, in the middle of the manor, there is a relatively large house, which is reserved for the owner's family to come over sometimes.

Under the guidance of Zhuangtou, Qiaoyun and others came to the meeting room of the house. Qiaoyun Qinglei sat down, and the villagers all stood at the bottom.Then Qiaoyun took out the house deed and land deed of the manor, as well as the deeds of sale of the people, etc., and called the head of the village to check.That Zhuangtou really knew a few words, went up to read it, and confirmed that these deeds were true.

"You have also read the deed. This land and this Zhuangzi, together with you people, all belong to me from today on. I don't care what your relationship with the original owner was before, but now it belongs to me, and you all belong to me. You have to listen to me honestly, understand?"

Qiao Yun's voice was not loud, and her tone didn't seem to fluctuate much, but the people opposite her didn't dare to underestimate them in the slightest.Don't look at the girl in front of her who is not very old, but the serious face sitting there carries a shocking majesty.All the farmers did not dare to raise their heads to look at Qiaoyun, they lowered their heads and just looked at their own toes.

"Yes, the younger ones will do what the master tells them to do, and they dare not disobey at all." The Daliao Dynasty did not discriminate against women as it did in the previous dynasty, and some women came out to take care of business and so on.It's not new for someone like Qiaoyun to come forward to manage Zhuangzi, so no one dared to underestimate them, and everyone replied in a polite manner.

Qiaoyun nodded, and was quite satisfied with the attitude of these people, "How about this, Zhuangtou told me all the things in Zhuangzi in detail, how many people there are, and how many adult laborers there are. What Zhuangzi can produce in previous years, Tell me what you want to plant next.”

Since this Zhuangzi already belongs to Qiaoyun, of course she has to take a closer look so that she can make arrangements for the next thing.Although she has the deeds of selling their lives for these people in her hand, she still needs to match up bit by bit, and understand the situation of each family, so that she can manage them in the future.

After hearing this, Zhuangtou hurried forward and began to explain to Qiaoyun.This Zhuangzi has a total of more than 900 mu of fertile land, which mainly grows wheat and rice, but also produces soybeans, mung beans, sesame, sorghum, millet and other grains and various vegetables.

In the middle of the whole land, there are two ponds covering an area of ​​more than 100 mu. Many kinds of fish are raised in the ponds, and lotus root, water chestnut, chicken head rice, etc. are also planted.Every year, these two ponds can produce tens of thousands of catties of fish alone, and they also produce a lot of other lotus roots and lotus seeds.

Except for some of the things produced in Zhuangzi to supply the needs of the original owner's mansion in the county seat, most of the rest have to be sold, and there is a profit of several thousand taels a year.So, Qiaoyun bought it for only 2000 taels. To be honest, it was really a bargain.

There are a total of 46 families in Zhuangzi, with a total of 230 seven people.Among them, there are nearly a hundred strong laborers, and most of the rest are women and children. There are not too many elderly people, because there are many people who bought them later.

This Zhuangtou does seem to have some skills, and the things in the Zhuangzi are like a few treasures, and he explained clearly.After Qiaoyun listened, she knew a little about this side. "Well, very good, the management here is pretty good. Liu Zhuangtou, you are a good person, you can be regarded as a talent. From now on, this Zhuangzi will be in charge of you. You need to worry about big and small things in the Zhuangzi. "

Upon hearing this, the Zhuangtou surnamed Liu hurriedly saluted, "Thank you for your compliment, no matter what you have, just do what you ask, Liu Yi will definitely do my best." With a new master, of course he has to work harder. Okay, otherwise, there may not be any results.This Zhuangtou is a lucrative job, of course he is not willing to lose this job.

"Let's go, let's go outside and have a look first. Then tell me, which field has been planted this year, and what will be planted next year. I plan to plant a crop from Nanyang here, and I need you to give it to me in advance. I set aside [-] mu of land. In addition, I will set aside [-] mu of winter wheat this year, and I will try interplanting."

This is Qiaoyun's ultimate goal. If a Zhuangzi wants to maintain stability, the land must be kept in rotation and cannot be replanted.Qiaoyun needs to know what has been planted before, and how to arrange it so as to leave enough land for cotton planting.

As soon as Liu Zhuangtou heard Qiaoyun's words, he knew that Qiaoyun really understood, and he was definitely not those boudoir daughters who didn't go out of their doors.Therefore, the Zhuangtou's attitude towards Qiaoyun was a little more respectful, and carefully accompanied Qiaoyun, they came out of the house together and came to the land outside the Zhuangzi.

This farmer really has a lot of tricks, so he told Qiao Yun exactly what each piece of land was planting this year. "If the girl wants to plant a new crop, let's use this piece of land in front of me. It was originally intended to grow wheat, but now there are only [-] acres left."

Qiaoyun nodded, and was quite satisfied with the arrangement of the head of the farm, "Okay, then keep this piece of land, and then you pick out another [-] acres of land, and I will try to interplant wheat and cotton. Come, I will tell you first. What you are going to do next, you must decide how to do it before planting wheat.”

Liu Zhuangtou thought about it, and took Qiaoyun to another piece of land, and then Qiaoyun explained to Liu Zhuantou in detail some things that need to be paid attention to in wheat-cotton intercropping.

For wheat-cotton intercropping, the rule of six to two or four to two is generally adopted.Basically, it is the ratio of six rows of wheat and two rows of cotton.The breadth is six to seven feet wide, half of which is planted with wheat, and six rows are sown in low borders.The other half will be Takakuro, and next spring, cotton seeds will be sown on demand, or two rows of cotton seedlings will be transplanted.

Zhuangtou wasn't too surprised by Qiao Yun's request.The local area is generally continuous cropping of wheat, rice, wheat and soybeans, with two crops a year, effectively using land resources.Therefore, when Qiaoyun said that he wanted wheat and some kind of cotton intercropping, Zhuangtou was not surprised.However, this is the first time Zhuangtou has heard of this practice of leaving high and low widths.

"Don't worry, girl, this is easy. I've already made a note of it, and I will do it according to the girl's request." Liu Zhuangtou is a decent peasant family, and he is good at field work. These things only need to be done lightly With a tap, he will understand.

"I can't see that the girl is so knowledgeable about farming at such a young age. Girl, I don't know what kind of cotton you want to plant?" Zhuangtou was very curious, not knowing that Qiaoyun specially obtained it from Nanyang. What came back was something.

Qiaoyun smiled, "That can't be eaten, it's used to weave cloth to make quilts, wait until next year to plant it, and you'll know. In the future, we can have something special to keep warm. It's not as expensive as kapok, and it's more expensive than kapok." It's better to use."
