Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 406 This Girl Didn't Tell the Truth

"Second Patriarch, calm down!" Seeing this, Fang Xiaofu got up quickly, walked over to salute, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi'er really hasn't thought about how to make money."

"It's just that my third brother said that there is no way to grow land or fruit, and the water is easy to rise in summer, and it is not convenient to cross the river. So it has been deserted."

"Yeah, you know that it's not suitable for you and you still buy it. The old man is curious and worried that you'll waste your money by buying it." The second grandpa felt a little more at ease when he saw her coming to talk.

It doesn't matter whether she has thought of ways to make money now, what matters is whether she has the heart.

"Just now Xiaoqi'er and my uncle talked about making tofu because they wanted to build a big workshop. The workshop needs land, and we can't afford to buy land for growing crops. It's expensive and overqualified."

"So I wanted to try it on Wuziqiu. There's nothing to grow there. It's okay to build a house, and it's cheaper than the familiar land, right? We don't have much money at hand, it's too expensive and we really can't afford it. "

Fang Xiaofu gave a playful smile after speaking.She is a 12-year-old girl now, she looks sweet and cute, and it is easy to be cute casually.

Sure enough, the second grandpa made her laugh and nodded kindly.

"You're right. We farmers buy land to grow food. If we can't grow food, it's waste land. But even so, that piece of land costs a lot of money."

"The five connected hills are not small. Even the barren hills cost 1000 taels of silver each, and they are not only for sale. In the old man's grandfather's generation, the government was counting the entire area."

"But the barren hills are useless, so I just sold a few plots of land along the hillside. The Liuxu River should be fertile, but it's a pity that I can't survive the two rainy seasons of spring and summer every year, so I can only plant some wheat casually in winter. What, just plant it for a season.”

"Later, the people in the village didn't want that land any more. They felt that the harvest was too little after all the effort, so they also fell into desolation. It's the public property of the village at present. It's worthless."

Fang Xiaofu thought to himself, it's useless for being so expensive, it really is tasteless.

"Second Grandfather, even if someone buys the land, I'm afraid no one will buy the mountain, right? If they are packaged and sold together, no one can afford the price, and they don't know what to do if they buy it, right?"

Fang Xiaofu blinked and asked seriously.

The second grandpa nodded, and the sixth grandpa sighed even more, with helpless expressions on their faces.

Fang Xiaofu somewhat understood that such a large piece of property was useless in the eyes of these ancients, because they didn't know how to develop or do other money-making projects.

They can only farm and farm. If they can't achieve this goal, they are worthless.

"5000 taels of silver for the five hills is really a lot." Fang Xiaofu asked cautiously, thinking, "How much is there? How much is it if they are sold together?"

"It would be great if we could grow beans for a whole season. We also need to spend money to make tofu. Soybean stalks can also be used to fertilize the field, be used as fodder, and be used as firewood. It is also considered valuable."

"Hey, I really don't know whether to call you a fool or a thief. If you buy a few barren hills and abandoned fields with a few thousand taels of silver, and only grow soybeans to make tofu, how many years will you have to work hard to make money?"

The second grandpa stared at Fang Xiaofu with piercing eyes, not letting go of the slightest expression on her little face.He bet with the look in his eyes that he has lived his whole life that this girl is not telling the truth.

"Second Grandpa, why don't you tell me the real price. If it suits me, I'll go back and collect money. I'll buy it first, and build a tofu workshop first. The beans will be collected from several villages."

"As for other things, if you want to hear, I'll talk about my thoughts first. Don't laugh at my naive thoughts." Fang Xiaofu had no choice but to tell part of his plan.

"First of all, the land is close to the river bank, so it is prone to flooding in spring and summer, right? Then I will dig soil from the mountain to raise it higher, and open a few more canals. As long as the flow of water can be alleviated, the danger of flooding may be possible. Can be solved."

"I just heard that there is no way to grow anything on the mountain. I am worried that there is something wrong with the soil quality. I wonder if it will make the ground unable to grow anything after it is placed on the ground."

"Since we may not be able to grow anything, let's build a workshop. To be on the safe side, I will build the workshop higher, and then I will pick the land that can be planted and plant some soybeans, rapeseed, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, corn and so on."

"Reclaiming wasteland, laying soil, opening fields, fertilizing fields, and sowing seeds can be busy from this year to next year, and many people still need to work. Whether it can make money, this year can't be said, and next year will see if there is a harvest."

"If what I just said can be planted, the workshop can also be opened. Counting from next year, if the capital can be paid back in three years, then we can talk about making money later." Fang Xiaofu spread his hands after speaking, "That's all."

The second grandpa didn't speak, but nodded, knowing that the little girl was on point this time.

"The land there was formed around Wuziqiu and extended to the riverside. This is the Liuxu River, and the other is the Qingli River. The section of the Liuxu River belongs to our Daliu Village, and the other side of the Qingli River belongs to Nanji Village. .”

"Wuziqiu area is just surrounded by two rivers. It is the public property of our Daliu Village. I can give you 1000 taels for a mountain without making money. It is your ability to use it to make money."

"Those lands that were recorded by the county magistrate's office back then were [-] mu, but in reality it was a bit more. What we filed was a wasteland of one tael per mu. You should count it as three taels."

"Xiao Qi'er, don't blame the second grandpa for forgetting about you. Our Daliu Village is not as rich as Fangshan Village. We don't have much income in the public account. We have to support the village school every year. There are still some unavoidable things in the village. Money is needed."

"I understand that adding two taels to one mu is already very kind." Fang Xiaofu said hastily.The second grandpa spread all the small accounts in front of her, this kindness is very precious.

"It's good that you understand the old man's painstaking efforts." The second grandpa smiled gratifiedly.

"You can buy all the five barren hills, which is also a solution to the problem of Daliu Village. Those lands are worth 500 taels of silver, a total of 500 taels of silver. You can go to the county magistrate's office to handle the transfer procedures."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Second Patriarch." Fang Xiaofu saluted quickly, and said respectfully, "I'm still short of money, and I'll come to you in a few days when I have enough money."

"After I've been busy with the handbags, I have to worry about you and the elders, and recruit some suitable people to help reclaim the wasteland. Let's discuss the salary. It can be settled on a daily basis, and the issue of food can also be discussed."

"Okay, let's say that first, and wait for your good news."

"Understood. The second grandpa, elders, let's go back first. I'm afraid the road will be difficult when it gets dark." Fang Xiaofu hastily bowed again.

At this time Fang Zizhan also came to salute and leave.Fang Zhicheng and Fang Liu also came to say goodbye, and the family went out.The Liu family also sent them out.

The three little ones had gone back to study, but the two sisters did not come out. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu and Zhang were busy in the kitchen and the backyard, and only two uncles and cousin Zefei were sent out.
