Chapter 578: The Right Place
After listening to the analysis of the cold and early snow, the family was worried. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yushu thought for a while and asked, "Little sister, what do you mean, our family needs to buy another land to try to grow cotton?" ”
Han Chuxue nodded, "Yes, this time we bought the land for cotton planting, pick some suitable and inaccessible places, even if we can't get the title deed for a while, as long as no one finds our cotton garden, there will be something to do." ”
This is also the identity of the monk to give Han Chuxue the confidence, even if the Han family's cotton garden is exposed in the future, someone has its idea, and with their own ability, they will definitely make their bamboo basket empty.
No one in the family doubted Han Chuxue's words, after all, there are so many wastelands in Xiatang Village that have been reclaimed and fattened, and no one dares to make up their minds.
However, where this cotton garden needs to be opened is still a headache.
"Xue'er, do you have any ideas for where to open our cotton garden?"
Han Chuxue turned around and looked at Daddy Han and Tang Liang, "There are many paddy fields here in Kaiyang, which have always attracted attention, it must not work, Daddy, Brother Tang Liang, have you found when you run a business, is there any place suitable for growing cotton, and there are not many houses?" ”
Daddy Han thought about it carefully, frowned and said, "According to what Yan Lie said, there are some suitable places in the north, but close to the capital, there have always been a lot of people, and it is difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears. ”
Han Chuxue shook her head, "Even if there are a large number of guards and there are too many conflicts, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the government." ”
After all, the location that Dad said was close to the border, and it was precisely because of the frequent harassment of foreigners that it was difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, which caused the sparse population, and in order to ensure the peace and tranquility of the Dachang Dynasty, the government would definitely pay attention to it from time to time.
The north side didn't seem to be suitable, and Han Chuxue turned his head to look at Tang Liang.
Tang Liang sighed heavily, "Although the south is vast and sparsely populated, the terrain over there is rarely flat, and the further south you go, the more humid it becomes. ”
Han Chuxue frowned, although Tang Liang's caravan had only been to the south twice, but he was shrewd and meticulous, since he said so, he must have a certain degree of certainty, cotton planting needs flat land, and according to his own plan, he needs a large flat land, so a suitable place in the south is really difficult to find.
Yu Yan said suddenly, "Brother Tang Liang, is there an island like the small island where Yan Lie lives, since Yan Lie and they can grow cotton on the island, if our family can also find such an island, can we grow cotton on it?" ”
Tang Liang lowered his eyebrows and pondered, "I haven't found such an island yet, if the girl asks the little one to go to the south to investigate again, maybe she can really find the island like the third young master said." ”
Han Chuxue shook his head, "You also heard Yan Lie say just now, the cotton they grow is only enough for the people on the island, so they have never taken it out to sell, cotton should not be flooded, and it is even more troublesome in case of storms, and planting on the island is definitely not a long-term solution." ”
You can set up a magic circle to help, but if that's the case, after you leave, won't this cotton garden also be abandoned?
The family fell silent, Han Chuxue paced up again with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help muttering about the conditions for cotton planting.
"Cotton likes heat, good light, drought tolerance, avoid stains, suitable for planting in loose and deep soil, headache when you can't find it, I didn't expect to find it or a headache, this Dachang Dynasty is difficult to achieve really no place to use?"
At this time, Tang Zhihe, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke, "According to what the girl said, there is a place that is really suitable." ”
The Han family suddenly looked up in unison, and Han Chuxue turned around and looked at Tang Zhihe in surprise, "Uncle Tang, are you serious?" ”
Tang Zhihe nodded, "When I was running darts in the past, I went to the west, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the terrain can be described as a flat river, but there are strong winds from time to time, and there is less rain, and most of the land is arid, and it is difficult to grow any crops, so that most of the people go out, and even those who live there mostly rely on hunting and past business exchanges to make a living." ”
Hunt?
Han Chuxue hurriedly asked, "Being able to hunt means that there is not a single grass over there, right, Uncle Tang?" ”
Tang Zhi and hurriedly responded, "Yes girl, it's just that most of the crops on the land over there can't be planted, and there are some weeds and flowers and even fewer trees, although the court has repeatedly issued decrees to encourage the cultivation of wasteland, and even explicitly ordered that only the land needs to be cultivated, and the private land of the reclaimer is exempted from taxes for five years, but after a hard year, most of the harvest will be lost in a gust of wind, and the harvest is often not even able to support the family, and over time, the people over there are no longer willing to open up the wasteland and farm." ”
The eyes of the cold and early snow suddenly lit up, isn't that a natural ranch?
The Dachang Dynasty was based on agriculture, and both the government and the common people paid attention to farming, but thus ignored that farming was sometimes not the only way out.
"Uncle Tang, listen to you, the trade route over there seems to be quite lively."
Tang Zhihe said with a smile, "The girl guessed very right, because of the neighboring jade and country, the people over there love our products very much, especially silk and tea, and they are rich in jade and ivory over there, these things are very popular with the powerful and rich here, and a trip is enough for a family to eat for several years, so many caravans who dare to take risks will go there, even if horse thieves are rampant there, the caravan has never stopped." ”
"Horse thief?"
Xiuniang was so shocked that she almost jumped up, "Then how can our cotton garden be built over there." ”
Horse thieves can kill people, and if they really build their own cotton plantation over there, won't they have to be afraid all day long?
Han Chuxue looked at Tang Zhihe with a smile, "Uncle Tang, can you tell me over there, it seems that you have already achieved it in your heart, right?" ”
Tang Zhihe was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "The girl's intelligence is really incomparable, that's right, when I was young, I lived there for a while, and I met a few friends because of my youth and vigor, one of whom was a famous horse thief leader, but Brother Yuan's thief also robbed, he never robbed the poor, he was a friend, and he was under Luoying Mountain, where he was entrenched, the terrain and soil over there were very consistent with the girl's requirements." ”
Han Chuxue nodded thoughtfully, "If our family cooperates with him, I wonder how sure Uncle Tang is that he will agree?" ”
"At least seventy or eighty." Tang Zhihe then explained, "Over the years, he has grown older, and he has the intention of washing his hands in a golden basin, but because there is no way out for his brothers, if the girl asks him to cooperate and give his subordinates a way out, he should agree." ”
Jianghu people have always talked about righteousness, and Tang Zhihe's speculation is still very reliable. (To be continued.) )
