Chapter 912
"Girl, I really don't have so much silver, I think so, I'll ask a doctor to come and help you see how much money you will use when the time comes?" The coachman regretted it very much at the moment, he had known that he would not have earned the fifty taels of silver! Now that the carriage was destroyed, he had to pay a hundred taels, which was a drag on the family.
Sure enough, you really can't be too greedy, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!
Fang Wanping heard this and glanced at the clothes on his body with a black face and disgust, a black cotton shirt has been washed and white, although there is no patch, but at a glance he knows that he is poor, but poverty is his business, what does it matter to himself?
"What?" "The more you say, the more you lose! This is the rhythm of bankruptcy!
The old coachman was a little anxious: "Girl, even if I sell myself, I won't have so much silver to pay you!"
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me? Okay, go back to the city first, find my father, and ask them to send a carriage to pick me up! I'll give you three days to collect the money, and then you can take it to the Garden Hotel and give it back to me!"
What else did the old coachman want to say, his carriage injured her, and he felt that he should compensate for the medical expenses, but why should he pay a hundred taels!
This girl is still the daughter of Tongzhi! How can she pit her own money?!
Fang Wanping didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she said: "Say it again, I don't know if my injury will be more serious if it drags on, and you will have to pay more money at that time!"
When the old coachman heard this, he resolutely shut up and didn't dare to say any more, this official is not good, and it is difficult to catch the wolf, and the rest of the days will be peaceful! Who knows that after catching the wolf, he will bring a tiger over!
He turned silently and drove away in his broken carriage.
Xiaoling said uneasily: "Miss, will he abscond in fear of crime and leave?"
The corners of Fang Wanping's mouth twitched: "It's not like this to abscond in fear of crime, don't use it indiscriminately if you don't understand!
The driver has been discussing the issue of compensation, and he has not found all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility, it can be seen that he is a good bully, Fang Wanping believes that he will not run away by himself.
Besides, in order not to lose money, it is not cost-effective to leave home.
Xiao Ling nodded, she also felt that the coachman was not that kind of person.
"Help me to sit on the stone under the tree over there. Fang Wanping pointed to a banyan tree on the side of the road and said.
It's noon, and the sun is the fiercest time of the day, although it's early autumn, Fang Wanping is a tanned person, so she doesn't dare to stay in the sun for too long.
"Miss, can you walk on your feet?"
"It was painful at the beginning of the fall, but now it doesn't hurt as much, and only one foot can't walk, and the other foot just scrapes a little bit. ”
Xiao Ling heard this and went over to help her, but she took pity on the coachman, so she was deceived by a hundred taels.
……
Xiao'er's carriage walked for a while before they reached a town.
There is a low-lying area in this town, which often causes floods, which seriously threatens the livelihood of the people, and even rice is not easy to cultivate and harvest.
Xiao'er said that it was best to build a mulberry fish pond in a low-lying place, and Jing Rui deliberately found such a place from the Yamen's fishing fast.
And this happened to be a newly promoted headhunter village, so he brought them here today.
A few people got out of the carriage, and the head catcher led them to a flat field, and in the early autumn field, at a glance, it was a faint yellow green.
"The rainy season is not very long this year, so the crops are growing fairly well this season. Headcatcher explained.
The terrain here is so low that most of the rain that falls from the sky flows here, so the paddy fields here are in a state of water all year round.
This year's rainy season is not long, and the river embankment has not broken the embankment, and the crops here have not been damaged by the flood, so it can be said that it is a good harvest year, but not every year is so lucky, there are few harvest years, and many harvest years.
"In these paddy fields, the water is not deep enough to raise fish, and the yield of growing food is not high, even if you put fertilizer in the fields, the fertilizer can be washed away by the water, and the villagers are quite worried about this. ”
Xiao'er nodded in understanding, even if it is rice planting, there is a period of time when rice does not need too much water.
Especially during the harvest season, it is best to make the field dry, and the surface of the field is hard when stepped on, so that it is convenient for people to harvest.
"It is quite suitable for building mulberry fish ponds, digging the low-lying land deep into fish ponds to raise freshwater fish, and piling up soil around the fish ponds to form a pond base, so that the flood season can not only alleviate the floods, but also the people can earn money by selling fish and selling mulberry silk themselves, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"I wonder if the villagers are willing to sell these paddy fields?" Zhu Yan looked at the headhunter.
Hearing this, the head catcher shook his head: "It's hard to say, because even if this field is not produced well, at least there is hope every year, if the field is sold and the silver is used up, what will you use to support yourself in the future?"
So generally speaking, people who have land will not sell their land unless they have to!
Because there is land and land, it means that there is hope.
Zhu Yan can understand that there are no special circumstances, and the villagers will not sell their fields, but if the villagers do not sell them, even if they build a mulberry fish pond here, it will be useless for her!
Xiao'er listened to Zhu Yan's words and said: "Why do you have to buy land? You can rent the people's fields according to the rent per mu or the amount of grain! Or you can directly provide them with the technology of the mulberry fish pond, and then sign a cooperation document, and then you can buy the fish and silk raised by them at that time!"
In the next 10, 20, 30 years, or even further in the future, the whole country will implement the division of land into households.
Grain production is now much higher in many places, and food prices are decreasing every year. In a few years, the grain will surely become the most worthless food except for vegetables, after all, the growth period of vegetables is short, which cannot be compared together.
Grain is not valuable, you can't eat it all, you can't make much money by selling it, and you won't even buy it as many people as before, after all, many people who have one or two acres of land grow enough food for their families, and they don't need to buy it anymore.
In this way, those landlords who originally made a lot of money by selling grain every year will naturally not be happy to farm again, and if they have no money to earn, they have so much land in their hands, and they have so much grain in their hands every year, or they can sell it at a low price with heartache, or rot in their hands, how can they be happy!
