Zhen Wanyi frowned, "My mother actually sold the store for my dowry to raise money, so my daughter might as well not marry." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The fourth wife's voice changed, "What nonsense, do you know what it means to us that you marry into the Rongwang Mansion?" Wan'er, there are some things that my mother doesn't say because my mother knows that Wan'er is smart and can think of it, but you have made her petty again and again make her mother sad. ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at the sudden change in the face of the fourth wife, stunned for a moment, a little overwhelmed, in her previous life, it was difficult to marry a wife, but she had never heard that marrying a girl would become a seller of property.

"Wan'er, what my mother wanted earlier was that you could marry into an innocent family and live a simple and happy life, but by mistake, Muzi became Prince Rong, so no matter what, you only have one way to enter King Rong's mansion. Your father and I are not from a high-ranking family, and you have also seen that your third uncle is struggling to support your third uncle in the capital until now, and the future of your sixth brother is still unknown, and Brother Xiu'er is even more so. Wan'er, if Mu Zigui is not Prince Rong, we won't have any hope, and An'an will just live a separate life.

But now you have the opportunity to become Princess Rong, the first-class princess of the dynasty, do you know what that means? It is not a lie that a person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, you have such an opportunity, and your mother will naturally have to make another plan, there are people in the court who are good officials, and your mother does not seek any glory and wealth, and high-ranking officials are generous, but only ask that the affairs of your grandfather and your grandfather's family will not be repeated, that your sixth brother and eighth brother will not be forced to use their children to pay off debts, and that your grandfather's family can keep their ancestral business and not be driven out of the capital. Wan'er, can you understand your mother's heart?"

Zhen Wanyi's face changed several times, she really didn't think about things so far, all she wanted was to live her own small life and keep her duty, she never thought that one day she would become the pillar of others and the support of a large family, can she afford such a heavy burden?" ”

The fourth wife touched Zhen Wanyi's hair with pity, "Silly child, my mother didn't say this to put any pressure on you, I just hope that you can do your part, be a good wife, teach your husband and children, be a good princess, and take care of the affairs of the Rong Palace." Do your duty, that's it. ”

"Is that all it takes?"

The fourth wife nodded and affirmed: "Of course, as long as you are Princess Rong, as long as Prince Rong values you, no one will dare to make a move against the Zhen family, at least you can ensure a stable and stable life for the whole family." ”

Zhen Wanyi nodded, she understood a little, she didn't need to do anything, she was a status symbol, the Zhen family behind Princess Rong was leaning on the wings of Prince Rong, and with the prince behind her, few people should dare to make up their minds. "My daughter knows, and my daughter will definitely protect the Zhen family and the Yu family. ”

The fourth lady smiled, "You don't have to be so serious, the most important thing for you is to do your part, take care of the prince, and take care of the affairs in the backyard of the palace, which is the credit." This dowry will give me and your father a headache. ”

Zhen Wanyi felt a little guilty, "My daughter doesn't want her mother and father to be embarrassed like this. ”

"What's the embarrassment, my father and I haven't been running around for so many years for you brothers and sisters. It's just that now that there are fewer shops, there will be no less grange in your dowry, except for the vicinity of Qinghe City, I will ask your uncle to buy some in Daxing near the capital, and gather 5,000 acres for you. ”

Zhen Wanyi's eyes widened, "Five thousand acres?"

"In the past few years, the war-torn land has been sold cheaply, and I have received a lot of land, but now it is difficult to buy better land, and I don't know how much your uncle can buy. Although this grain is not worth much, it may last for a long time, and it is always good to have more of it. ”

Zhen Wanyi had already calculated in her heart when the fourth wife spoke, according to the yield of rice, the yield of one mu of fertile land can reach 500 to 600 kilograms, even if the ancient planting technology is a little behind, it is almost 300 to 400 kilograms, planting two seasons a year, 5,000 acres is not 3 million kilograms of output at the lowest value, according to the lowest grain price, ten wen a catty, one tael of silver and fifty kilograms, a year's harvest is about 6, 10,000, and tael.

Zhen Wanyi was stunned by the tacit answer, how could it be, if the annual harvest was 60,000 taels, would the fourth wife still be in a hurry about the dowry and silver?

Looking at Zhen Wanyi's sad face, the fourth wife said curiously: "What are you thinking, with a bitter look." ”

"Mother, I'm afraid that the income of so many fertile fields in a year is only tens of thousands of taels. ”

The fourth lady's eyes widened, and she laughed out loud, "You really don't know the fireworks in the world." This kind of land is not a good thing to make money, at most it is just to seek a stable and long-term life. In addition to buying grain, you also have to pay taxes, and you have to pay five liters for one stone, so how much can you keep in your hand? For families like us, the family members have merit and fame, so they can be exempted from paying taxes, so they can leave more. ”

"How much grain can be produced in that acre of land. ”

The fourth lady was stunned by the question, thought about it, and said with great certainty: "An acre of high-quality fertile land is about three and a half stones, and the almost good field is less than two stones." ”

Zhen Wanyi was stunned, so little, one stone is almost fifty kilograms, the yield per mu of high-quality fertile land is less than two hundred catties, which is more than half of her budget, and she has to pay the wages of tenant farmers in addition to the grain, and it is unknown whether half of the half can be left, so that it is difficult to earn even 10,000 taels of 5,000 mu of fertile land, and it is really poor to be a farmer here.

Zhen Wanyi bit her lip, she has no way to do business, but she is studying horticulture, no matter how she says it, it is related to agriculture, and the history of China's agricultural development has also been studied, the reason why agricultural production is not high in ancient times is that the first big reason is that the fertility is insufficient, only planting the land and not raising the land, and the second is the seed problem, maybe she can improve and make some private money for herself.

Zhen Wanyi, who made up her mind, asked, "Does my mother have a grange in Qinghe, and can my daughter go and see it?"

The fourth lady was puzzled, "At this time, the weather is hot, what are you going to do at the farm? Besides, the farm should be busy, and the second crop of rice will be planted." ”

Zhen Wanyi's eyes lit up, by the way, now should be the time to sow seeds, and it is best to transplant before the beginning of autumn, "Mother, you see what you said so much, my daughter doesn't understand much, I can't give my daughter what a daughter is, but I haven't even seen what a rice field looks like, isn't it up to others to decide how much you can harvest that year." ”

The fourth wife was stunned, remembering that she had also spent some time in the farm before she got married, so she would not be easily scolded by her subordinates, "That's okay, my mother also set up a Zhuangzi in Qinghe, and the land has been continuously harvested in the past few years, and there are more than 1,000 acres of fertile land in total, and you also know the head of the village." ”

Zhen Wanyi was taken aback, "My daughter knows?"

The fourth lady smiled: "You forgot your old big girl's red dress, but it's been a few years, she should be married." Her mother's Zhuangzi in Qinghe was managed by her father Li Baoshan, and when she didn't take a good look at you and let you break your head, her mother scolded them for returning to Zhuangzi. If you want to go, tomorrow I will ask Huixiang to bring a message to Li Baoshan, and let Li Baoshan's family enter the mansion. ”

Zhen Wanyi sighed secretly, why is this world so small, she wanted to go to the farm to have a look, but she didn't expect that the head of the village was actually the maid's family who used to serve her, she really didn't have any image of the red dress, and she didn't know if it would be exposed.

"What's the matter? You can't just go to the farm like that, you have to arrange it beforehand. ”

Zhen Wanyi hesitated: "Mother, I just don't remember the red dress very much." ”

The fourth wife smiled understandingly: "What should I do, the red dress is six or seven years older than you, and I also put her by your side when I saw that she was still calm, and it was less than two years in total." Back then, you only knew that there was a little girl to play with the eight girls, and it was normal that there was no reflection of the red dress, and now she is only afraid of marrying someone early, but the Li family also has a little daughter, who is about the same age as cherry, if you fancy their family, let the little daughter of the Li family come to your side on an errand, and their family will be your companion in the future. ”

Zhen Wanyi breathed a long sigh of relief, so it's fine, "Then the daughter just listens to her mother's orders." (To be continued.) )
