Chapter 391 Where is his obsession

OK, no problem!

Su Ran wanted to answer without hesitation.

But unexpectedly, a voice beside her responded one step earlier than her: "We plant two hundred acres."

Su Ran was startled, and the magistrate over there jumped up excitedly: "Two hundred acres? Really? Have you considered it?"

Su Ran turned to look at the man beside him, and saw him nodding his head firmly: "Think about it."

But the magistrate knows that Su Ran and his family are not the masters of the house.Although Li Er's remarks made him feel excited, he still turned his head to ask Su Ran's opinion. "Miss Li, what do you think?"

If Su Ran doesn't nod, he won't take it seriously.

"My man said two hundred acres, then two hundred acres." Su Ran nodded immediately.

The magistrate was completely relieved, and he became even more excited. "You husband and wife are really a blessing to my Jiangdong County! You support the work of this county so much. If the wheat planting succeeds next year, the county will definitely go to the magistrate to ask for rewards for you!"

"Okay, then let's thank you, the county magistrate first." Su Ran nodded with a smile.

When she was talking, she looked at Li Er again, and the man had stopped talking with a straight face.

The county magistrate thought that it would take a lot of talking to persuade their family to complete all the tasks in the county.It turned out that he had only just begun his words, and the family agreed so readily, and even took the initiative to expand their territory!

This is definitely a great support for his work!This is also a solution to the urgent need that has troubled him for a long time. The county magistrate was very grateful to them and insisted on keeping them for dinner. Someone sent a car to take them back.

Among the people who escorted them this time, the leader was Su Wei, who was recommended by Li Er last year to be a government servant in the county.This kid came to the county and has been doing things diligently. He is very popular with the county magistrate, and now he has been promoted to a small leader.Now he has a separate residence in the county, and he has brought his wife and children over.But his parents refused to come, saying that they are used to staying in the village, and raising rabbits in the village can make money now, so why did they come to the county to let their son work so hard to raise them?So he has to go back to the village every two months, and every time he goes back, he has to pay a visit to Su Ran and the others.

It was he who volunteered to send Su Ran and the others back today.

Walking on the road, he couldn't help but confess to Su Ran and the others: "I said Brother Li and Sister Ran, you two are too honest to be human, why are you so stupid when the county magistrate said that he wanted to plant a hundred acres?" You said you planted two hundred acres? You must know that after the appointment of the imperial court was released, the county magistrate had actually called all the chiefs of the towns below to ask. He was threatening and tempting, and his mouth was almost dry Those people refused to nod. He had no other choice, and he happened to know that you had planted some barley at home, so he thought of inviting you to try it. If you refuse, he will not do anything to you. Moreover, One hundred mu is not a small number!"

"Have you ever thought about what you would do if the planting of that thing failed? That's a hundred acres of land, and the harvest of a hundred acres of land is quite a lot! Although your family is not short of money, but now your The land is under the name of Brother Quan, and there is no need to pay taxes every year. If this is the case, why are you fighting so hard?"

Of course Su Ran also knew that he had good intentions.The reason why the chiefs of other towns withstood the pressure of the county magistrate was also thinking in their hearts.

After all, they had never heard of this fanmai before.Although the imperial court will distribute the seeds, the imperial court will send people to teach them how to plant them, and the imperial court also stipulates that as long as the field where the wild wheat is tried to grow, the tax will be exempted. If it fails, it will give some compensation, and if it succeeds, it will give a reward.But who knows what will grow out of the ground in the end?Is the compensation given enough for a year's harvest?
Now they are planting rice and wheat on the land at hand, and the grain harvested throughout the year is barely enough to fill their stomachs!If so, why would they take the risk?
Therefore, they would rather continue to be successful and live with the stability in front of them, rather than take the risk of failure.

This is generally the case in people's hearts, and those who are really willing to pioneer and innovate are always the few.Of course, Su Ran would not claim to be an innovative person.The reason why she nodded in agreement was because of Li Er.

Moreover, she has grown wild wheat this year, and she still feels that the future of this thing is still very bright.

So she smiled lightly: "The county magistrate is willing to invite us to talk in person, which is also a sign that he attaches great importance to this matter. What's more, it's only [-] acres of land. If it fails, it's fine. We can still afford it. Loss. And..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Er interrupted her heavily: "I won't fail."

Ok?
Both Su Ran and Su Wei were taken aback.The two looked at him one after another, Li Er still had a serious face, and said solemnly: "I will not fail."

Su Ran frowned slightly, but did not speak.Su Wei couldn't help shaking her head: "Brother Li, you have been planting land for so many years anyway, don't you know what land is suitable for growing something? This wheat is something from the northwest, who knows what is suitable for planting? It’s not suitable for us to plant? The climate in the northwest is quite different from ours!”

"It will definitely not fail." But no matter what he said, Li Er just killed his own point of view and did not let go.

Su Wei was helpless.

"Sister Ran, is Second Brother Li out of his mind?" He asked Su Ran in a low voice.

Su Ran shook her head. "He's fine, it's just another crime."

Su Wei sighed. "Forget it, anyway, you have already agreed to the magistrate of the county, and this matter is now settled, and what I say now is useless. Anyway, you should be careful next year, and I will help you find out about Northwest China later. In the situation over there, we can reduce the loss to as much as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Su Ran said with a smile.

Su Wei quickly shook her head. "What's the hard work! If it wasn't for Brother Li's recommendation, I would still be raising rabbits in the village now! Ah, of course I'm not saying that raising rabbits is bad, but as a man, I really don't want to live in the village for the rest of my life. Now I can be considered to have jumped out of the farm. Although it is not as good as Brother Quan and the others, it is not bad in the village. Your great kindness, I will always remember it in my heart. Now I have a chance to repay it. , I'm so happy!"

When Su Ran heard this, she smiled again.

After sending them all the way to the entrance of the village, Su Weicai went back to his parents' house.

When Su Ran and Li Er returned home, the Huang family naturally came to ask them about things.Li Er still had a sullen face, and went back to the room without saying a word.

Huang's face turned pale with fright at his appearance.She quietly pulled Su Ran aside: "Sister Ran, what's wrong with the son-in-law? Did you quarrel with the county magistrate?"

"No, it should be thinking of some past events, and I'm in a bad mood. I'll go and persuade him now." Su Ran shook her head lightly.

Huang nodded repeatedly. "Then you go!"

"Hey!"

Su Ran quickly agreed, and followed into the house.

When she got to the room, she saw Li Er was standing diagonally to the window.His eyes looked into the distance through the window, and the direction he looked at was the northwest direction!
Su Ran's heart shrank, and she walked slowly to his side.

"What does this wheat mean to you?" She asked softly.

Li Er's shoulders stiffened suddenly, and then slowly relaxed.He turned his head and let out a long breath. "You found out."

"I found out from the beginning!" Su Ran said angrily, "However, your performance in front of the county magistrate today was too outrageous, and the county magistrate must have found out that something was wrong."

"Then let him find out, I'm not afraid." Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Of course I know you're not afraid. But, this is clearly where your heart lies, haven't you noticed?" Su Ran slowly walked up to him, "Every time you encounter something about this, you will be extra excited. You are a calm person, you can keep your temper no matter what you encounter, but this alone... I feel that this thing is simply your obsession. Until now, you have nothing to say to me? "

Li Er gave another meal.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze became extremely deep, but Su Ran couldn't tell what he was thinking about.

Su Ran waited patiently for a long time, but she didn't hear him make a sound, so she couldn't help but let out a low breath. "Forget it, don't say it if you don't want to. I don't have to force you to recall your sad things."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

"Wait!" But just as he raised his foot, Li Er grabbed her arm.

Then, she heard the man say every word: "My family, they all died because of this thing."
