The candlelight flickered, and the room was dusk and warm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Peng Jin leaned forward, leaned on a few cases, supported his chin, and listened carefully to Liu Zhi pointing to the account books, answering her questions one by one, and the room was full of the pleasant sound of clear springs:

"It is written in this account book that Daxing Grange is a rotation of wheat and millet. In a normal year, other places produce about three stones of wheat millet a year per acre, but a fertile soil like Daxing Grange, with abundant water, will only produce more than that. It is not impossible to catch up with the year when the wind and rain are smooth, and it is not impossible to produce a total of four stones of wheat and millet per acre of land a year.

As for the fish and shrimp in the rivers and lakes, this is difficult to measure accurately. If it is artificially cultivated, do some work, and there will be a lot of income a year. If you sprinkle fish and shrimp fry and let them grow at will, it is just for your own taste.

There are also these fruit trees, the fruits that bear fruit every year, in addition to the filial piety to you, I am afraid that they will also be plucked by the head of the village and kept for their own food, or given favors.

As for the vegetable garden, small patches of soybeans, and captive poultry and livestock, it seems that they are all used for domestic use.

None of these make much money.

I see that in this account book, the whole Daxing Grange is profitable by collecting rent and selling the surplus wheat and millet that I have grown. Among them, rent collection is the mainstay. You are also a tolerant character, and your father-in-law set the tithe-tax rent, and you have always used it. The whole Daxing Grange leases out about 500 acres of fertile land, so the annual rent is about 150 yuan of wheat and millet. Combined with the harvest of 60 acres of self-cultivated land, there are almost 330 stones.

If the average price is about fifteen taels per liter, it is converted into cash, and the annual income is not less than five hundred taels of silver.

In other words, the output value of Daxing Grange must be at least five hundred taels per year. ”

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he pointed to the data on the last page of the previous year's account book, which was "more than 241 stone of wheat and millet harvested", shook his head and said: "Even if the weather conditions are slightly worse in the past two years, the rain is short, which affects the output value; Even the rice and grain from the south were conveniently transported to the capital by water and sea, which affected the price of goods; Even, as the account book says, the purchase of new farm implements, the renovation of the cottages, and the waiver of part of the rent of some particularly difficult tenants, which cost a great deal of money, should not be this figure. ”

Liu Zhi was stunned, and felt that everything was expected, Peng Jin had never cared about these mundane affairs, and he had never been able to control the people below.

Peng Jin was shocked and admired on his face, and he didn't see the slightest anger of being deceived by his subordinates.

"In addition to reading and writing every day, you know so much about the prices of these agricultural things!" Peng Jin sighed, shouldn't Liu Shi be a bookworm who "doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads the books of sages"? After all, reading and writing every day takes up almost all of his time.

Liu Shi was amused and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that what comes out of the Guozi Prison is a group of people who can only write flashy and untruthful splendid articles, but their heads are empty and unconventional, right?" ”

Peng Jin smiled, and his expression said it all.

Liu Zhi lost his laughter, and only stopped laughing for a while, explaining: "Reading and writing articles is to pass the imperial examination and step into the official career. However, the ultimate goal of stepping into the official career is to develop one's ambitions, benefit the people, and serve the country. If you ignore the sufferings of the people and don't understand the state of the world and human feelings, then it is either a corpse vegetarian meal, or a discussion and fantasy, and blind command! For us and other benevolent gentlemen do not take it! ”

Liu Zhi said in the end, his tone was generous and his expression was solemn.

Peng Jin couldn't help but put away his contempt, solemnly up, and looked appreciative and admiring.

A good man, when you have great ambitions, you should make immortal achievements!

"So, you have to investigate the matter of Daxing Grange." Liu Zhi said in a deep voice.

Peng Jin's face sank, how could she not understand that there is a rich water Chazi River in Daxing Grange, and a little less rain will hardly affect the output value of the land; In the prosperous area of the capital, even if the rice and grain from the south can be easily and quickly transported, the price will not be pushed too low. Even if Daxing Grange's expenditure this year is too much, it will not be nearly a hundred stones of grain less than the minimum estimate estimated by Liu Shi.

It seems that this Kong Daxing is really bullying the original owner to be weak and foolish, and he fills his pockets.

Liu Shi was afraid that Peng Jin would be sad and sad, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Even so, you don't have to worry too much. Perhaps, they have other grievances. ”

Liu Zhi didn't believe it.

Peng Jin shook his head and chuckled, "I'm worried about something." Now that you've found a problem, it's time to fix it. Now it's they who should be worried! ”

"However," Peng Jin frowned, "Yunwu has a lot of praise for Mother Kong, and Mother Kong has been living in Peng's Mansion since she got married, helping to take care of the yard, so I am very skeptical about whether Mother Kong was involved in this matter, or why she did it." ”

Peng Yongxin and Peng Yu, father and son, in order to compile the "Taixi Tea Sutra", traveled around the tea plantations all over the country and conducted field investigations.

In order to take care of her father-in-law and husband, Zhou Shuyi also accompanied her all the way, and she has not given birth to children until now.

There is no master in the house, and the huge Peng Mansion has to be entrusted to someone you trust to guard.

Regardless of whether Kong's mother recommended herself or was picked up by Peng Yongxin, at least, she can hand over the home to Kong's mother to guard, at least it shows that Peng Yongxin and Peng Yu, father and son, believe in her very much.

Mother Kong, who is trusted by so many people and entrusted with important tasks, if she really participated in the fake account of Daxing Grange, then how profound this person's acting skills and city government must be!

Liu Zhi saw that Peng Jin's brows were so furrowed that he could kill a mosquito, and thoughtfully comforted: "You are dreaming here alone, what can you come up with." Since there is doubt, then invite Kong's mother to come and ask. Guessing and guessing, it is in vain to be heartbroken. ”

Peng Jin was right when she thought about it, she was not suitable for working hard now, so she put away her guesses, pointed to the stack of account books and said: "Then I have to quickly find out all the other problems in these account books, lest they have to defend themselves, I don't know anything about it, which is both embarrassing and easy to be fooled." ”

Peng Jin was anxious to understand the situation of Daxing Grange, and he was new to these new things, so he was inevitably excited and thirsty for knowledge. When Liu Zhi's explanation was hooked up again, Peng Jin was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he looked like he was ready to read at night.

Liu Shi disagreed, forcibly took back the account book, and urged Peng Jin to wash up quickly and go to bed: "Sleeping late is not good for the fetus, and it is not good for your own body." Didn't you just say 'if you want to hurry, you can't reach it', why did you forget it when it was your turn in the blink of an eye. ”

Peng Jin reluctantly glanced at the account book that was put away, relentlessly, and went to the clean room to freshen up.

The renovation of Daxing Grange is not to leave something for his children and make his life more smooth! Peng Jin comforted herself that everything was for the sake of the child!

Go to bed!

Liu Zhi looked at Peng Jin's departing back, the corners of his mouth raised happily, and he picked up the pile of account books and paper for writing and drawing scattered on the table.
