In the evening, Bai's face was full of sorrow and he told her husband what her daughter said during the day. When talking about the reason why Wen Hui didn't like Zhao Chongyi and the four princes, Chen Yuanheng said with a face full of approval: "She really deserves to be our good daughter, smart and far-sighted." When it came to Wen Hui wanting to marry a man, Chen Yuanheng was thundered without exception.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yuanheng said very seriously: "If Hui'er really thinks so, it's okay, it's also beneficial, we don't have to worry about her going to her mother-in-law's house to set rules for her mother-in-law in the future, and she has to fight with her father-in-law's concubine." ”

Bai listened to her husband's words and was angry.

Chen Wenhui didn't think about this, it was too early for her to think about lifelong events now when she was only ten years old. She took all the Bai's account books back to her room and began to think about how to manage her family's property, especially the new one.

Generally, girls from large families have their hair at the age of ten, which means that they can learn to be housekeepers, Chen Wenhui has long been involved in housekeeping, but she used to help her mother. Now she is trying to do things on her own, and her mother, Bai, is just giving directions.

Chen Wenhui was reading the account book while making a plan, and there was a big girl next to her Green Sprouts to serve her tea for a while, take snacks for a while, and grind ink for a while. Chen Wenhui suddenly found the feeling of being a white-collar supervisor in her previous life, but at that time, there was no maid waiting by her side when she was writing a plan at night.

Chen Wenhui suddenly felt that she liked this feeling very much, she was in a better mood, her mind was extra clear, and she was more attentive to reading the account books. After all, many of the properties that the Chen family has recently added were bought when they were dealing with the things that were raided in the three states. This can be regarded as a kind of benefit for my father as an official. It's just that among the three states, Huzhou is my father's own territory, but he bought the least, because he had to avoid suspicion. However, the White Thorn Shi faction in Heyang Prefecture bought a lot of them in Huzhou. This can be regarded as mutual convenience, and the Chen family also bought a large amount of land in Heyang Prefecture.

Located in the southerner part of the Central Plains, Heyang Prefecture is a purely inland province. The economy is not very developed. Land is also relatively cheap, mostly for wheat and summer crops. Originally, the land in Heyang Prefecture was cheap, but in the disaster year, it hit agriculture hard, and the land was even cheaper, and it was confiscated, and a large piece of land was sold together, and the price was 20% cheaper. In this way, I bought the land with only half of the usual money. And it's rare that it's all pieces of land. Such a place is hard to come by.

In recent years, the Chen family has also purchased some land, including Ancheng. There are Deqing's. There are also those counties in Deqing. They are all fragmented land, the largest is only more than 1,000 acres, and generally more than 100 or 200 acres. It's hard to manage. And, of course. The most expensive land is near the capital, only more than 500 acres, and if the money to buy the 500 acres is now bought in Heyang Prefecture, it can buy more than 2,000 acres.

Therefore, the Chen family bought three pieces of land in Heyang Prefecture this time, all of which were more than 10,000 mu contiguous plots, with a total of nearly 40,000 mu of land, and only used more than 100,000 taels of silver, which was very cost-effective. Chen Wenhui looked at the account book and was very satisfied. began to think about what to do with the land in Heyang Prefecture.

Generally, there are two methods of land, one is to give it to the peasants, so that one farmer is assigned and two or three subordinates. Every year, it is just to collect rent, and it is good to manage it. But the income is also not high. The Chen family's land in Deqing was planted by tenants for the people, because they had to worry about reputation, and there were not many fields, and the Chen family didn't care about that little money, so they only collected one season's rent, and only half of the rent, and sometimes they had to give some to the tenants and collect forty percent of the rent. In addition to this method, another method is to set up a Zhuangzi, send a Zhuangzi, recruit more long-term workers to farm by themselves, and all the income is their own. But there are also a lot of expenses in this way, that is, labor money, seeds, farm tools, management costs, etc.

If it was in a previous life, Chen Wenhui would definitely choose to rent the land, that is, to rent out. But this is in this ancient time, the cheapest is the labor cost, a long-term worker for a year's work, only to give two to three taels of silver. Including food and housing, and there is no National Day, Spring Festival, weekends, annual holidays and other festivals in the previous life, a year is the Spring Festival, when the long-term workers go home for the holiday, what a cheap labor force.

Therefore, Chen Wenhui wants to hire long-term workers to farm the land. In addition to being more productive, there are two other factors that motivate her to do this, one is the problem of manpower. In the past, the Chen family did not have the right people to manage this. Now that Li Huan's two younger brothers have grown up, following Li Huan, Ziyu and Li Laoshi learned a good farm work technique, and they can also read and write, so they can stand alone. In addition to the two of them, there are also a few people who Ziyu bought a few years ago, and after training in the past few years, they are all talents. Therefore, in the three Zhuangzi of Heyang Prefecture, there is no shortage of management talents. The second is that Chen Wenhui wants to promote new seeds and new technologies.

This trip to disaster relief has seen a lot of the tragic situation of the victims, and Chen Wenhui wants to use her own ability to change the situation of these farmers as much as possible. The implementation of new seeds has been implemented in Deqing for many years and has worked very well, but it will take some time to promote it in Heyang Prefecture, and Chen Wenhui wants to play a leading role in promoting agriculture in these places.

This is a big job to set up a Zhuangzi and hire long-term workers, Chen Wenhui seriously considered it and wrote a very detailed plan. It includes building a house for the head of the village, a house for the main family to live in temporarily, and a house for the long-term workers. In fact, the three Zhuangzi themselves have houses, all of which are houses for the master and housekeepers, and there is a house for the long-term workers to live in, but it is estimated that it will not be too good, Chen Wenhui thought that when the time comes, let Li Huan and Ziyu go to see, to give the long-term workers a better house, it is best to let the long-term workers and their children live together. This is more conducive to the heart of An Changgong. As for the wives of the long-term workers, it is easy to arrange, and when the time comes, depending on the number of people, if there are many people, a small handicraft workshop can be opened to produce dried sweet potatoes, corn flakes, vermicelli and the like.

For Zhuangzi's planting plan, Chen Wenhui plans to use new agricultural tools, which in fact have been in many places in this era, especially in the capital area, that is, Quyuan plow, but Heyang Prefecture is more remote, so Chen Wenhui found that many places have not been used. Secondly, it is necessary to promote livestock farming, so that long-term workers can plough more fields, save manpower and save time. There is also the use of compost and top dressing methods, and it can be said that most of the farmland in the Great Chu Dynasty has not used compost now. Top dressing technology is all dependent on the sky and the ground, and never wants to maintain the land. And the third is to select seeds. Nowadays, the people only choose the seeds with full grains, and there is no further selection. Of course, Chen Wenhui can't get those hybrid rice and the like in his previous life, but he can choose to use seeds. In fact, this point has been taught to Ziyu by Chen Wenhui since the first year when Ziyu went to the farm, and Ziyu has been paying attention to seed selection for so many years. That piece of land has a high yield. Take the seed of that field. In this way, after a few years, the bad seeds were naturally eliminated, and the high-quality seeds remained.

These things are written on the plan. Because there is a lot of content, I haven't finished writing until midnight. The main thing is that the brush is too slow to write. Qiu Bilai urged a few times, but Wen Hui had no way to go to sleep. The next morning, in addition to doing the internal homework that she did every day, Chen Wenhui began to write again and did not finish it until dinner.

Chen Wenhui happily went to her mother's house to eat, and then showed the plan to her parents. At this time, Chen Wenhui found that her mother also had two big eye bags on her face, which was a little strange. Who knows, it's because of her words yesterday that Bai Shilei couldn't sleep.

Chen Yuanheng and Bai looked at the plan written by their daughter seriously, and they were very amazed. Chen Yuanheng said: "Hui'er. You've got a good deal with this. I think I'll do it as such. Madam, do you have any money at home, this is about to be planted in autumn, hurry up and let Ziyu and Li Huan take people to plant wheat first. Don't delay the farming time. ”

Bai said: "We had more than 500,000 taels of silver in the balance, and we spent more than 130,000 taels of silver to buy land in Heyang Prefecture. It took more than 200,000 taels of silver to buy a shop in Suzhou, and the remaining 100,000 taels were put in Huzhou to buy antique calligraphy and paintings. Rao is not enough like this, so I temporarily raised 50,000 taels of food from the winery, which is enough. Now that the autumn harvest is over, the 50,000 taels in the wine shop have to be returned, and I haven't thought about what to do? However, it will be the end of the year in more than three months, and at that time the money from everywhere should come down, and we will have money, but now we don't. ”

Chen Yuanheng sighed and said: "The money of the winery must be taken out first, and there is no delay in going to Heyang to farm, so let's do it, I see that Hui'er's above is probably going to Heyang to farm the first phase of the money spent more, building a house, repairing a house to buy new farm tools, hiring people and the like It costs almost 10,000 taels of silver, and more than a month later, the Deqing trade fair will also be opened, we have to buy some things every year, and we have to buy the same this year, probably 10,000 taels of silver, and a total of 70,000 taels of silver, Just borrow a short-term one from the bank, and when the Chinese New Year comes, we can pay it back when the money arrives. ”

Bai Shi thought about it, so he nodded and said yes.

Chen Yuanheng said again: "Madam, then we usually have to spend money, is there no money at home, do you want to borrow more?" ”

Bai Shi laughed and said: "Where is it used, this point of our family's expenses depends on the monthly income of the restaurant in Qingyang City." In fact, we have relied on Qingyang City, Deqing City, Ancheng and other nearby cities in the past few months, which is calculated every month, and the income of these restaurants and Cuijin Lou is enough for our expenses, in fact, in my opinion, the 10,000 taels to be used in the trade fair do not need to be borrowed, and the money in these places can be saved enough 10,000 taels. By the way, there is also our grange this is the autumn harvest, the rent should come down in two days, and the fruit trees in our mountains and forests have produced more fruit in the drought this year, which is also an income, I think even the 10,000 taels of silver to Heyang can be saved, so I can simply lend 50,000 taels to the winery first. ”

Chen Yuanheng thought about it, so he relied on the Bai family, and the family discussed it, and the next day he sent someone to call Ziyu and his wife over. Who knows, Ziyu and his wife have not come over yet, and the front yard suddenly said that the holy decree came, and Bai's face immediately changed.

ps：

Yesterday's code word was until more than twelve o'clock, and it was the first time I stayed up late to code words.
