The next day, Qiao Lan and Yu Dana set off for the West Bank together. The bridge connecting the east and west banks has been expanded again, and Qiao Lan's carriage can go directly to the west bank. As soon as she got out of the carriage, the first thing she noticed was the crowd gathered on the east bank of the Yaoshui River, some of them were chattering, some were sitting silently, and some were taking care of farm tools...... She asked Yu Dana, Yu Dana didn't know, and called Feng Dalang again, and Feng Dalang said that they were all waiting for the Qiao family's work.

Every movement on the west bank, Yu Dana will truthfully report to Qiao Lan, a hundred acres of land on the west bank were reclaimed, and then bought humus to cover it, so Qiao Lan was puzzled, and turned her head to ask Yu Dana, "Didn't you say that the mud was enough yesterday? What other work do you want to ask someone to do?" Yu Dana was also puzzled, could it be someone who spread the word indiscriminately! Feng Dalang knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly said that some of the Qiao family's work yesterday did not receive the news and missed it, so early this morning, those people were waiting on the other side, they were afraid that the Qiao family would have some work to order, and if they missed it, they had nothing to do, and they were idle wherever they were, no, they all came here.

Qiao Lan said that she understood, but at present, there was really no work for those people to do.

The last time Qiao Lan came to the west bank, she encountered a trench that was dug up and turned into a canal, when the west bank was still barren, and now eight days have passed, more than 100 acres of land have been dug up and covered with a thick layer of humus, that is, the soil bought with money.

Everyone is inexplicably spending money to buy dirt in Qiao's house, but in fact, they don't underestimate this soil. In Qiao Lan's eyes, this is Bao Wow. Most of the deciduous trees in the Daqingshan forest area are deciduous trees, and every autumn, the leaves fall and decay one after another, and the first layer of soil in the forest area is the most fertile.

Looking at the vast black land in front of her, Qiao Lan was very confident that even if there was no space and those treasures, she believed that she would be able to break through.

Feng Dalang and Second Uncle Lu had been standing aside and listening to the instructions, and Qiao Lan asked Ye Feitian to take out a bag of cabbage seeds weighing ten kilograms from her carriage and hand them to them, so that they could scatter them in the ground in the next two days. This kind of seed was bought after she searched all the grain stores in the county seat, and she was very glad that it was not placed in the space, otherwise as the space disappeared, she didn't know where else to get the seeds.

"This is ......" Feng Dalang and Second Uncle Lu naturally recognized this as cabbage seeds, every household here grows cabbage, and they can eat it for a winter when they are harvested in winter, but the question is whether it is too late to plant now, and the wintering cabbage planted by others is already a few inches high...... And that's too much, too much, isn't it......

Outsiders judged from Qiao Lan's previous actions that Qiao Lan was a person with great connotations, but Feng Dalang and Second Uncle Lu, the scope of their thinking was relatively narrow, they only knew that they did it at sunrise and rested at sunset. Both of them felt that the proprietor did not take farming seriously, first spending money to buy the worthless mud, and then planting things against the time of day, which made them very depressed as farmers who were meticulous about farming.

Feng Dalang and Second Uncle Lu didn't dare to mention it directly to Qiao Lan, so they found Yu Dana, and Yu Dana asked them to obey orders. The two of them were so confused that they had to divide the seeds and work separately.

The trees cut down in front are still at the south end of the west bank, and there are more than 1,000 trees, with roots and canopies, which are not neatly stacked at all, and look particularly messy. Qiao Lan couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for a while, so she simply put it down first. She walked north along the canal from the south section, halfway through, and saw two ragged people salvaging something, she thought she was fishing for fish, but when she got closer, she saw clearly, they were fishing for fallen leaves, Qiao Lan then thought, it is already early autumn, this canal is passing through the forest, there should be a lot of fallen leaves, but she just walked all the way, the water in the canal is very clear, there are fallen leaves, but not much......

"How do you fish for this leaf?" Many people have this instinctive fear of the superiors, especially as a pariah at the bottom of the society, Qiao Lan tried her best to lower her voice and make herself appear more cordial, Rao is so, those two people are still very cramped, and they dare not reply.

"Take me to the old beggar!" Although these two people didn't say anything, Qiao Lan also knew who to look for, so she didn't embarrass them. Qiao Lan followed the two people, walked along the canal, walked for a long time, in addition to picking up leaves and picking up rocks along the way, when he saw the old beggar, he was also picking up stones, because his feet were not very convenient, he moved a little slowly, but very serious.

Qiao Lan knew what the old beggar thought, and it was nothing more than to do more to let the Qiao family know that they were useful and strive to stay. Qiao Lan stepped forward, and the old beggar hurriedly put down the broken basket in his hand and saluted Qiao Lan, "Young Master Qiao!"

"Is there anyone with bad intentions at this time?"

"Chen Datou and the three lepers from Qingshan Village have been here a few times, but they have been driven out by Xie Jinbao's dog in Qingshan Village, the old housekeeper of Zhao's landlord's family has secretly passed by twice, and Yang Bing from Yangjiazhuang has come over to talk to Feng Dalang for a while, and there is nothing else. ”

"Xie Jinbao's dog ......," Qiao Lan said strangely, "little wolf?"

"Exactly, the other day, he came and left the dog behind. The dog didn't do anything else, stared at Chen Datou and the three lepers, and kept barking when he saw it. ”

"What about the little wolf now?" Qiao Lan wanted to see that unusually spiritual dog, she herself liked dogs very much, and in her previous life, she didn't raise it because her grandfather was allergic to dogs.

"I went into the mountains to find something to eat. Young Master Qiao, it is very likely that the person who broke your trench that day was arranged by Landlord Zhao. ”

"Where did the news come from?"

"Once, Chen Datou and the three lepers accidentally said that they missed their mouths. The old beggar paused and added, "It's just that it hasn't been confirmed whether they are talking nonsense." ”

"Well, well, you don't need to go out of your way to pursue this matter, just ask a few questions when you encounter it, and you should guard the West Bank well." Qiao Lan was about to walk away after speaking, but the old beggar wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak, and watched Qiao Lan leave. The two beggars who had brought Qiao Lan over came up, "Old beggar, didn't you say that as long as we work hard, the Qiao family will keep us?"

The old beggar shook his head and picked up the basket on the ground again, "Don't worry, the Qiao family knows what we are doing." Just do it well. ”

Feng Dalang and the others have already begun to sow cabbage seeds, and he estimates that all the seeds can be planted to fill seventy acres, and there are still fifty acres left. Qiao Lan has a scale in her heart, and she will naturally not waste the rest of the land, but it is not yet time to use it. After Qiao Lan was on patrol, Yu Dana reminded her that Landlord Zhao was coming. Qiao Lan turned around and saw that Landlord Zhao had already crossed the bridge, and seeing him strolling leisurely as if he had entered his own territory, she estimated that if Ye Feitian and Fang Xiaoyong happened to be by the bridge and stopped his carriage and did not let him pass, he would have come directly by car.

Landlord Zhao's mood couldn't be worse recently, and the cause was all on the land under his feet.

The day before yesterday, he was furious and decided to take a good look at the details of Qiao's house, but as a result, the post sent was returned, and that night, he dropped a whole object on the Bogu shelf before it calmed down.

Yesterday, the news of the Qiao family spread again, and as soon as he heard that the Qiao family spent money to buy soil, his first reaction was not ridicule, let alone dark, but fell into contemplation. Now in his eyes, the young master of the Qiao family or the person who gives advice behind the young master of the Qiao family is wise and close to the demon, and every strange move is wise and foolish, and clever and clumsy. Last night, Landlord Zhao thought about it all night, but he couldn't guess the deep meaning of Qiao's family buying soil.

I received news today that Qiao Yi went to the west bank, and the landlord of Zhao hurried over, he must meet the young master of the Qiao family today no matter what, and see where this young master of the Qiao family is sacred, and whether he has three heads and six arms.

Landlord Zhao stepped on the West Bank one by one, and it was indeed as leisurely as if he were walking in his own back garden, but soon, his eyes were almost glared out by him, this is the West Bank? This is the West Bank, which has been abandoned for more than ten years? This is the West Bank that he has been defeated repeatedly and is coveted? What about the wasteland that he said is good? What about the grass that he said is good? What is the matter with this fertile black land in front of him?

In fact, the rapid changes on the West Bank were far beyond everyone's expectations, except for Qiao Lan and Yu Dana, who were already prepared. Many people thought that even if the Qiao family dug a ditch to stop the infestation of wild boars, it would take at least three years to turn this wasteland on the west bank into a field. This is also the reason why the tax system of the country stipulates that the land is exempted from tax for three years.

Landlord Zhao finally understood the deep meaning of Qiao's family's purchase of mud, and it was precisely because he understood that he was dizzy in his mind, when he saw that Young Master Qiao was really a teenager, he was even more dizzy for a while, in fact, he knew early on that the Qiao family was now presiding over Wuli Town, and it was a very young son, but it was better to see it than to hear it, and he really realized how young this young man was. He couldn't help but think of his youngest son, Zhao Shengcai, who was also at such an age, only knowing the wind and snow all day long, and not doing anything serious at all.

Qiao Lan smiled and waved to Landlord Zhao, "Master Zhao, look up for a long time! I don't know if you came here today, what are you doing?"

"You ......" Landlord Zhao suddenly found that he had nothing to say...... He once thought that when the West Bank was smashed into the hands of the Qiao family, he would appear in a high-profile manner and take over the West Bank for his own use, and the Qiao family would have to be grateful to himself, but now this has become a luxury, and even he is amazed by the changes in the West Bank...... He had nothing to say, and Qiao Lan continued to look at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to answer.

Landlord Zhao laughed dryly, "Passing by, passing by...... The old man has recently heard a lot of news from the house, and he is really curious, and he wants to meet with Qiao Gongzi, but he doesn't want Qiao Gongzi to be so busy that he has no time to respond to the old man's post. Now at a glance, it is indeed a hero from ancient times, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, Qiao Gongzi is young, and he has taken care of this land in such an orderly manner, which makes the old man admire. ”
