Time flies, after returning from the Lin family, it is the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, after the Lantern Festival, Jingxuan their school is about to open, on the sixteenth day of the first month, Jingxuan said goodbye to the Lin family and prepared to leave for Song County, Xiao Nan had the intention to open up the 100 acres of wasteland at home to plant tea, she went to Song County with Jiang Jingxuan, Jiang Jianhong and Lin Zhengtao, and prepared to find Song Qiuyi, the second son of Song Zong's dart family, and asked about the tea seedlings.

Because Xiao Nan had already greeted this girl when Song Nuo left, and Song Nuo had always had a good relationship with her second uncle and aunt, when Song Qiuyi's family came back for the New Year, she immediately told him about it, although Song Qiuyi didn't like to study and practice martial arts, he was very filial to Song Zong's dart, and he also loved Song Nuo's niece very much.

Hearing her mention Xiao Nan's desire to grow tea, he pondered for a moment, didn't reply immediately, and then went to find Mr. Song's darthead, it is not a trivial matter to develop a hundred acres of barren mountains to grow tea, and Xiao Nan in Song Nuo's mouth is just twelve years old this year, in the face of such a little girl, he didn't dare to promise anything casually before he figured out Xiao Nan's details......

When Xiao Nan came to Song's house, Song Qiuyi was waiting for her at home, and after Xiao Nan came over to explain her intentions, Song Qiuyi smiled and said: "The idea of the eldest lady wanting to grow tea is good, but the tea garden is not easy to take care of, and the investment is not low. ”

"I'm sure!" Xiao Nan replied with a firm face.

"I heard my father say about you, although you are not very old, but you can't be measured by ordinary children of the same age, since you have decided, I won't say much, what varieties of tea seedlings do you need, make a list for me, and wait until March, I will help you transport it." Song Qiuyi glanced at Xiao Nan and agreed to Xiao Nan's request very neatly.

"In this way, the eldest lady thanked the second uncle first, the second uncle, but I don't know how much this tea seedling costs, I will pay the deposit first." Xiao Nan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, speaking of planting tea, the wasteland should have been sorted out in November last year, but at that time, Xiao Nan had many things that he didn't understand, and it was too late, so he could only wait until this year to deal with them together.

"How much tea are you going to grow?" Song Qiuyi did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Temporarily plant 100 acres, this 100 acres I am ready to plant all the Xinyang trees, 1100 tea seedlings per mu, in addition to tea seedlings, I also want 50 osmanthus seedlings per acre, if the second uncle can get it, then transport it to me together." Xiao Nan said. (Note, Xinyang was called Yiyang in the Tang Dynasty, and since the miraculous Jiang Zuo Shangshu came to this era, Yiyang was officially renamed Xinyang in the Taizong period, and the former Huaiyang tea was gradually famous for Xinyang Maojian.) )

"Do you mean that your 100-acre tea garden is planted with Xinyang trees, and in addition to this, osmanthus is also planted in the tea garden?" Song Qiuyi's eyes flashed when he heard this, he looked Xiao Nan up and down a few times, and asked again.

"That's right, I've thought about it, osmanthus and tea trees for soil, sunlight, rainwater fertilization and other requirements are similar, planting dozens of osmanthus trees in each acre of tea garden, not only will not affect the growth of tea trees, after the tea seedlings become gardens, osmanthus can almost shade them, so that tea pickers will not feel so hot in summer." Xiao Nan said.

"Hehe, I've never seen someone plant osmanthus in the tea garden, but listening to you say this, it seems to be really good, even if the osmanthus tree does not grow well, it will not have a big impact on the tea garden, well, as you wish, osmanthus seedlings I will also help you transport them together, tea tax is one of the main taxes of our Great Song Dynasty, tea is expensive, this Xinyang seedling is not cheap, one or two silver can buy about 130 seedlings, you have a hundred acres of land, according to 1100 plants per mu, a total of 110,000 tea seedlings are needed."

"110,000 tea seedlings need about 850 taels of silver, and because you buy a large amount, you can discount it slightly, for this reason, the five thousand osmanthus seedlings no longer charge money, a total of 850 taels of silver will be charged to you, and you can pay a deposit of 200 taels now." Although Song Qiuyi's book is not a good read, it is good at arithmetic, and the price is quickly calculated.

"Okay." Xiao Nan didn't say a word, took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Song Qiuyi, saying that she still borrowed the silver from Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Xiaozhen had one thousand taels of silver tickets on her when she was taken over by Xiao Nan.

Song Qiuyi did not postpone, he naturally reached out and took it, although Song Nuo repeatedly pestered him, hoping that he would give Xiao Nan as much help and preferential treatment as possible in the early stage, but Song Qiuyi knew through his understanding of Xiao Nan from Mr. Song's dart head that although this girl was young, she was not the kind of person who casually accepted help from others, and she was more acceptable to negotiate with her according to normal business standards.

Sure enough, seeing that Song Qiuyi accepted the deposit without saying a word, Xiao Nan suddenly had a faint smile in his eyes, the development and planting of a hundred acres of tea plantation is not a trivial matter, only if the two sides negotiate the transaction from the position of equality and reciprocity, the follow-up matters can be better promoted, otherwise, even if they are relatives and acquaintances, everyone is not in the same position, and it is difficult for equal cooperation to last for a long time.

After negotiating this matter, Xiao Nan did not stay in Song County for long, and soon returned home, Miss Song Nuo was worried about Xiao Color, and also missed Xiao Zhen and Zixiu a little, and wanted to go back with Xiao Nan, but she was not young, and the Song family was determined to find a suitable family for her this year, and her mother-in-law Wu did not allow her to go out, and Song Nuo's wish was not fulfilled.

After Xiao Nan returned home, he discussed with the Lin family about finding someone to open up the wasteland, and the Lin family couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that she wanted to open up the wasteland to grow tea: "Auntie, if you want to plant tea on this hundred acres of barren mountain, it can't be solved with a little money, where did you get the money?" ”

"I borrowed it from him, this kid has a thousand taels of silver tickets on him." Xiao Nan pointed to Xiao Zhen, who was having a happy time with Xiao Banli not far away, and said, when Xiao Zhen first came, Xiao Nan was afraid of scaring the Lin family, so he didn't mention it to her, and the thousand taels of silver tickets on Xiao Zhen's body have been kept in Xiao Nan's hands.

"The ...... you borrowed from him, him, how can you squander his money casually." Lin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said.

"Mother, I am a member of the family, my money is everyone's money, my sister needs money, what does it matter if I use the 1,000 taels of silver first?" Before Xiao Nan could speak, Xiao Zhen, who was playing in the courtyard with Xiao Banli, heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly took the conversation.

"However, even if you have the money, your ancestor will not allow our family to open up the wasteland!" Lin felt that his brain had become a mess.

"Don't worry, Mother, Zu Weng will hand it over to me, if he must stop it, I will directly appeal to the official mansion and completely cut off relations with them." Xiao Nan replied calmly, Lin Shi was stunned when she heard the voice, she looked at her daughter's face without the slightest mood swing, her eyes became extremely complicated, her own girl, she was getting more and more unable to see through.
