The news that the Liu family dug up gold quickly spread throughout the county, and even Wu Zhixian smiled when he saw Liu Chengfang: "You guy is lucky." ”

Liu Chengfang hurriedly said: "It's not the luck of the lower officials, it's all the credit of Neiko and the children, she told me that money is something outside the body, and I want to ask for your opinion and donate it to build a academy for the children in the neighborhood to study." ”

Ning Zhixian had just taken office, and he was about to make some political achievements, when he heard the words: "Zifang is a model for my generation, but you can't let you pay all the money alone, and the wood you need can be taken directly from Jiushan Mountain." ”

Liu Chengfang is also an official wanderer, and he hurriedly said: "In this way, the lower officials have thanked the prosperous Li Shu, and the lower officials will definitely inform them when they go back, and they will remember the kindness of the adults." ”

Ning Zhixian nodded slightly, "It's all for the public, don't be too polite." ”

The land is there, the timber is there, the laborer is the foreman of his cousin, and the bricks, stones, tiles, etc., can be pulled directly from the place under his jurisdiction, and two or three hundred taels of silver are enough.

Because it is a good thing, there are also brick kilns and tile kilns that want to find materials for free, Liu Chengfang told them, "You can't let everyone lose too much, and the labor cost must be given." ”

In this way, almost everyone said good things about the construction of the academy, and as for the matter of the monk's ear being cut, no one came down to investigate, but I heard that there were also a few monks in the Huangjue Temple in the capital whose ears were gone.

Zhang's brow furrowed a little.

"Mother, it just so happened that someone helped us dig up the peach sapling, so let's plant it." Xiao Tuanzi said.

"Our family's twenty acres of land are all of the best quality, and we can plant seedlings soon, and I am a little reluctant to plant peach trees at once." Zhang's Road.

Isn't that simple?

"What do you think of that over there?" Xiao Tuanzi said, pointing to a hillside northwest of her house.

It was a wasteland, overgrown with weeds.

"It's good, it's just a lot of trouble." Zhang still shook his head.

"Mother, you buy that piece of land first, I have a way." Xiao Tuanzi said confidently.

Zhang didn't believe it, "What can you do?" The soil in that place is not good, and there are many stones, otherwise someone would have cultivated the crops. ”

"Don't we want to raise chickens? When the time comes, directly fertilize the peach tree with chicken manure, isn't it done? ”

Zhang was a little moved, "By the time the reclamation comes out, the saplings have already dried up." ”

"You believe me this time, buy it first." Xiao Tuanzi took her hand and said.

The family not only has three hundred taels of silver from winning the cockfight last time, but also a pot of gold, which are inseparable from the daughter, why don't you believe her again?

Zhang's didn't ask, she directly found Lizheng and bought all the hillsides in the northwest, she also thought about it, even if she couldn't plant peach trees, she could still raise chickens, otherwise what would happen to so many chickens?

The price of the hillside land was very cheap, a barren mountain, about two or three hundred acres, and Li Zheng collected a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Liu Zhangwan's Lizheng, called Liu Chenghong, is also Liu Chengfang's cousin, and he told Zhang's at that time, "My fourth brother didn't sell this place when he was doing Lizheng, no one asked for ten taels of silver, and my sister-in-law gave fifteen taels too much." ”

Zhang said with a smile, "In the past two years, the price of our land here has risen again, and fifteen taels is not much. ”

Liu Chenghong also responded, accepted the money at the moment, and gave Zhang's deed.

Xiao Tuanzi saw the deed, and when Liu Yongan was free, he smiled and pulled him, "Let's go, let's plant trees." ”

Zhang shook his head, "Counting on you, it's almost enough to plant one a day." ”

I don't want Zhang's words to finish one night, and the places where Xiaotuanzi and they dug were all dug up within a radius of dozens of zhang.

Many people rumored that the Liu family knew that there was gold there, so they bought the hillside.

"You think, their family won a few hundred taels of silver in a cockfight some time ago, and now they have dug up gold, and now they buy so many places where birds don't, it must be to dig up gold again!" That's what a lot of people say.

Some people even asked Zhang if he bought land to dig gold, and Zhang said that he wanted to plant peach trees, but people didn't believe it.

"Your family is so rich, and you still cultivate land and plant trees?" The person who asked was clearly not convinced.

Zhang laughed, "Whose gold will be buried there?" ”

How did they bury the gold by the walls of your house?

Who are you fooling?

There are more and more people who secretly dig at night.

Not only the people in Benwanzi are digging secretly, but the people on the Zhuangzi are also digging secretly, and even people from dozens of miles away come to dig secretly.

The more Zhang explained, the more everyone thought she was covering up, and the nephews of the family also came, "Fourth aunt, I heard that you are going to plant peach trees?" Why don't we help you? "Then you can dig openly.

"Okay, fifty yuan per person per day, no matter what to eat." Zhang said.

Fifty yuan is equivalent to a day's income for a long-term worker, which is the market price, and everyone has no objection.

Even if you don't give a penny, everyone rushes to go.

Some people pulled oxen and went to plow.

The result, of course, was nothing.

When the Zhang family paid the salary, they were embarrassed to ask, "We are here to help, you pay for the construction of the academy, it is also for all of us, to help your family do something, you should be." ”

Hey, I can't dig it, I can only say that my fate is not good!

A money and a treasure, you can't pick it up without that life!

Zhang smiled: "Then the aunt will invite you to eat peaches." ”

"Okay." It seems that this place really grows peaches.

They helped plant nearly 300 peach trees.

Zhang felt that the nephews were not easy and hard, and each person still sent money over at a rate of 100 yuan per day, "I know you don't want to, even if I, as an aunt, buy some snacks for the little babies to eat." ”

It's all a family, and it's far away to say money.

However, Zhang has always felt that his own brother is a good score, not to mention a cousin, and he is separated by a generation.

Between relatives, there are still exchanges, there are contacts to last, in order to last a long time, just thinking about taking advantage, who cares about you?

"When the planting is done, it's time for rain." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"This kid! How do you know it's going to rain? Zhang was very curious.

As soon as Wang Jing's peach tree was planted, the rain fell.

Zhang stood at the door, looking at the raindrops outside, and asked Wang Jing again, "Sister Jing, how do you know it's going to rain?" ”

"It's very simple, every time the solar terms change, it will always rain." Wang Jing said, "At this time, Lixia has passed, and Xiaoman has arrived. As soon as Xiaoman arrived, not only did the wheat and other summer crops begin to plump, but also the rice planting begins. Usually at this time, there are always a few rains, and it rained last year. ”

Zhang thought for a while, it was really like this, and she also laughed, "You kid, what are you doing with so much heart, you have a mother." Then he asked her, "It's almost your birthday, it's time to get some new clothes." Why don't we go out on the streets tomorrow? ”
