Mrs. Yipin: a farmer's doctor

Chapter 237 Exchange Grain for Land (1)
Zhiran's meaning was obvious. After teaching her aunt and the others, the Tang family and Xiulan would no longer be allowed to take care of the Liu family's affairs, and they could do whatever they wanted.

Xiulan reacted first and said, "You can decide on this matter."

With Xiulan's consent, Zhiran felt at ease, Tang shi was on her side no matter what.

The next day, Zhiran took the two aunts to the mountains, and taught them how to make white jelly. In their gratitude, they didn't know Zhiran's real thoughts.

However, Zhiran gave them a clear way to sell these in the town. After all, this is a costless business, and this day is so hot that people can't wait to soak in cold water every day. People with money have tasted it. Once, most of them are willing to eat this to cool off the heat.

But in a few days, the business of Auntie and the others is booming. Without Zhiran's reminder, they also know that this method is simple and the ingredients are easy to mix, so it is impossible to tell others.

Before I knew it, it was August, and the days became more and more difficult.News of people dying of starvation in nearby villages spread frequently. Many people had undesirable edema all over their bodies due to long-term malnutrition.

The government didn't open the granary again for a long time, and Zhiran couldn't ask Mr. Kong again this time, so she thought about sending out porridge.

After all, if the porridge is served for two days, the common people can last for several days!Maybe in a few days, the government will open food again, which can indirectly save many lives.

Yidong and the others have all come back halfway. This time when Yidong came back, Zhiran said this idea, but he thought about it for a while and said: "Miss, I actually have something to discuss with you when I come back this time. We also like Just like the landlord's house, harvest the fields!"

"Huh?" Zhiran understood Yidong's meaning, but was it a little too black-hearted? She wanted to earn money with food, but she always wanted to earn money from the rich. She never thought of wearing clothes on poor people. Layers of skin.

Yidong explained: "During this period of time, we ran around and found that nearby landlords, big and small, started enclosing land wantonly, exchanging land for grain. At the beginning, one mu of land could exchange thirty catties of grain. Now all the way It has fallen, and it has become fifteen catties."

Zhiran covered her mouth in surprise, these people are too black-hearted!

One mu of land can produce more than thirty catties of grain a year!The peasants are allowed to sell it at such a low price. The land is the lifeblood of the peasants. If it is not a last resort, who wants to sell the land!
But right now, isn't it the time of last resort?

"Miss, we are not black-hearted. I believe that if the lady takes over the land, it will definitely not be less than [-] catties per mu. This is to save them. Now many villagers who have no land have packed their bags and fled towards the imperial capital. Before long, the gates of the city will be sealed off, and the land will be oppressed by the landlords, and one mu of land may not even be able to exchange fifteen catties of grain." Yidong analyzed them one by one, and felt that this was feasible, and it was The great opportunity is more cost-effective than selling grain at a high price.

Zhiran figured out the link, and immediately made a decision, ordering Yidong to recruit all the people back. She currently plans to only accept the fields near Liujia Village for future management.

There is a granary behind the long-term worker’s dormitory, and there is a lot of grain, but if you want to use the grain, it is not enough to buy all the fields sold by the nearby farmers. You also need to transport the nearby grain back. They wanted to sell it, so they specially divided it into several counties for storage, but now it has become a troublesome matter.

But in this chaotic world, no one dared to drag a few carts of food around, so Zhi Ran thought about asking her master and uncle to come out of the mountain. If they were here, no one would be able to move her food.

But before that, Zhi Ran felt that she had to discuss it with Tang Corporation first, to show respect.

"Mother, our family has done a good job in disaster prevention this time. I bought about 10 taels of grain in advance. I originally planned to sell it when there was a shortage of grain, but now the landlords have already started to reclaim the land." Zhi Dye said silently.

The people who participated in the topic this time were Xiulan's mother and daughter. After getting along for so long, Zhiran was able to trust them, and there was no need to hide these things from them.

After all, when the time comes, the action will be big, and I can't hide it.

Tang looked at Zhiran in surprise, "Do you want to follow suit?"

Zhiran said resolutely: "Yes! I never thought of earning money from these ordinary people, but now that the landlord is collecting the land like this, it is better for me to collect all the land than to take advantage of the black-hearted landlord. The [-] catties of grain per mu dropped to the current [-] catties of grain per mu. Yidong said that the city gates may be closed soon, and many fortresses leading to the imperial capital have been closed, and refugees are prohibited from entering. If this continues, the land will become less and less valuable.”

Yu Yan's eyes flashed, and he agreed appreciatively, "This method works. Besides, if the landlord can do it, why can't we do it? What's more, we are still doing good deeds. No one should think that our approach is wrong. Morality, the big deal is that we can pay more food than the landlords. If the people in Liujia Village can’t accept it and don’t want to sell their land to us, we’ll take it from other villages. Although we’re making disaster money, people don’t do it themselves. , the heavens and the earth will perish."

Yuyan stood up excitedly, ran around the house, trotted up to Tang after a while, and said with a smile: "Mother, I can already think of the grand occasion of our family's fertile land of thousands of acres."

Before Tang could speak, Xiulan saw Yuyan like this, sighed and said, "No wonder landlords are very smart. This method is really exciting. Even I think it's good. Before, Zhiran also said that Shi Congee, although the food at home is not mine, but once you think about the nearly 1 people in the entire county, and there may be refugees from other places, how much food will be spent on cooking porridge alone, how much food will be used to save people for nothing, you will understand Knowing that it is a good deed, I still feel distressed when I think about it. But now, although the villagers’ fields are taken, at least they can survive, and they should be willing.”

When Xiulan was speaking, Tang nodded her head twice.

Although they are all soft-hearted and kind-hearted, they also know that Zhiran's money is not for nothing, and they always feel sorry for her. Now that she has come up with a better way, there is no reason to refuse.

"Zhiran, you decide this matter, you can do whatever you want, mother will support you." Zhiran's mind moves quickly, and sometimes Zhiran has already done things that she didn't even think of.

With such a daughter, she doesn't have to worry about anything, but sometimes she feels unfulfilled.

Zhiran laughed comfortably, and her expression eased, she said with a smile: "Mother, this time we will do as before, it is Young Master Huang's idea to collect the land, we are just doing it for you, externally, Young Master Huang is still Our master, our great creditor."

Such a statement can make many people fearful, especially some landlords, they will not dare to act rashly.Young Master Huang's identity is mysterious, he can come up with so much money, and he is from the imperial capital. No one knows his real identity and what kind of power is behind him.
