The next day, although the two brothers were excited, they went to work on time. After work, the two of them did not continue to work as usual, but ran back to the city, and when they got home, Melilan also arrived, she was thinking about her three children, and she was cooking for them. In fact, although Qili is young, she is tall, capable and sensible, and she can already cook, but her cooking is not as delicious as Mei Lilun.

The two brothers said a word to Melilen, and then hurriedly went to the official who was in charge of the room.

When Mei Lilun cooked the meal, waiting for the two brothers to eat, she happened to see the two brothers come back happily. Melillen felt that there must be good news.

Sure enough, as soon as the two brothers saw Mei Lilun, Tiemu said, "Sister-in-law, the situation is even better than we imagined." ”

Mei Lilun hurriedly said, "The meal is ready, let's talk while eating." What good news. ”

In fact, Mellen is also a little impatient.

As Temu and Kumar walked into the room and reached the dining table, they said, "We inquired with the official in charge of the room, and he showed us a piece of paper. Unfortunately, there are so few words we can understand. In the future, I still have to go to night school to learn Da Chu's characters. ”

At this time, Qi Han suddenly said, "Abba, uncle, wash your hands before eating." ”

Kumahaha laughed and said, "You kid, after a few days of school, you have become more disciplined, okay." We go wash our hands. Now the children are really good, and they have learned a lot in school. This is only a slave school, and if it were a formal school, it would be even more powerful than it is now. By the way, didn't we get that piece of paper back? Let Kiri and Ugo read it to us in a moment. ”

Temu hurriedly took the piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Ugo. Ugo busied himself reading.

By the time Kumar and Temu had washed their hands and were ready to eat, Ugo had finished reading. Melilyan hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Ugo was a little excited, calmed down for a while, and then said, "It says that only free people and residents can go to open up the wasteland. After the reclamation. You can choose to farm, medium fruit trees, sugarcane, etc. You can also grow medicinal herbs and fragrant flowers. Of course, pastures can also be planted to raise sheep and cattle. For something special to grow something. Subsidies will also be provided. For example, the cultivation of medicinal herbs. Not only did the city lord's mansion provide medicinal seedlings, but also gave a subsidy of 100 yuan per mu of land. We don't need to know any of this. But there is one item, which is to plant pasture, that said. If you plant pasture, raise horses, and raise cattle, you will be subsidized. Thereinto. For each acre of land planted with grass, a subsidy of 100 yuan is given every year. It's time for the horses to be slaughtered. Each horse, before it is sold, will be given a subsidy of 200 large dollars. For cattle raisers, after slaughter and before selling, each head will be subsidized with 100 yuan. Also, if there is a cow that produces milk, a large amount of money will be subsidized for each barrel of milk. When the cow produces milk, she gives a subsidy of 100 dollars per month. ”

Kumar was a little stunned, he didn't know how to calculate this account. Mei Lilun was very shrewd, and at this time she was busy saying: "Oh, when we used to be in the grassland, there were at most a dozen cows producing milk, and every day my sister-in-law and my grandmother had to milk and milk all morning, and we could milk seven or eight buckets a day." If there was such a subsidy at that time, wouldn't it be able to make up seven or eight cents a day? That's more than 200 wen a month? If you add the subsidy to the cows, isn't there more than one or two pieces of silver paper? Oh my God, this allowance alone is worth two months' wages, no, three months' wages. ”

"Also, if you plant a tree, there is a tree called the rubber tree, a new variety that has just been made, and you will be able to harvest rubber in the future, and the night school will teach this technique free of charge." After the tree is planted, the rubber can not be harvested until six to eight years later, so it is subsidized every year for these six to eight years. Each rubber tree gives a large amount of money per year. An acre of land can be planted with about twenty or thirty trees, and each acre of land can subsidize dozens of large sums of money, and anyone who grows rubber trees will not be taxed on the land for ten years. Of course, we don't collect taxes for three years on the land we normally cultivate. Also, if you plant rubber trees, you can take out an additional loan, one hundred taels of silver per 100 acres. The loan is still long-term and will be repaid after 10 years. ”

Kumar couldn't figure it out, and involuntarily gestured with a knife and fork in his hand. It was still Mei Lilun who was smart, and she quickly understood, and said: "If we go to open up the wasteland, it will be in the far suburbs, where there is one or two silver, three acres of mountainous land, and one acre of plains. Of course, we want to graze on the plains. We are now three free men, and each of us can borrow up to a hundred taels of silver, and the three of us can borrow three hundred taels of silver. That's 300 acres of flat land and 900 acres of mountainous land. How many livestock can be supported by planting grass on these 300 acres of flat land? Well, it's still a bit less. However, if we can plant rubber on these 900 acres of mountainous land, then we can borrow 900 taels of silver, and after deducting the money for buying saplings and hiring people to plant trees, we will probably have 500 taels of silver left. In this way, you can buy another 500 acres of flat land and 1,500 acres of mountainous land. In this way, we have 800 acres of flat land to grow grass, which can already become a pasture. As for the 1,500 acres of mountainous land, we can also plant rubber trees, or we can grow sugar cane or banana trees. It takes a year to mature. In particular, the sugar cane is harvested once a year, and we can use the money from the sale of the sugar cane to repay the loan of 900 taels of silver for planting rubber trees. Of course, it will take several years to pay off, but all the trees cut down from the nearly 3,000 acres of wasteland, as well as the medicinal herbs in the forest, can probably be sold for money, so that in about two or three years, we will be able to pay off all the loans of 1,200 taels of silver paper. Then our rubber grove is our own. There is also a large grassland of 800 acres, how wonderful. ”

Kumar thought about it and asked, "But we have pasture, and we still have to graze, and these calves, ponies, and lambs are all valuable, where can we have the money to buy them?" ”

Ugo smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this paper also says that if you are willing to graze, you can also apply for a loan to buy livestock." Each adult free man can apply for a livestock loan of three hundred taels of silver paper, and the three of you have a loan of nine hundred taels, which is enough for us to buy small livestock. I believe that with these small livestock, with the ability of my uncle and aunt, in the future, when the small livestock grow up and are sold, we can let them have small livestock before they are sold, so that we will have a steady stream of livestock, and the big livestock sold will definitely be able to pay back the money owed to the bank with interest. ”

When Temu heard this, he immediately said: "That's it, I think this kid Ugo is very good, not only has strength, but also brains. In fact, the mind is what we barbarians lack the most. Could it be that Ugo is a good boy with courage and resourcefulness? So be it. Second brother, let's apply for a loan tomorrow, and buy land, and we don't want to work in the quarry, let's go to the wasteland. In this way, after the land is cleared, it is spring, which is a good time to plant grass and trees. ”

Kumar thought about it and said, "Yes, that's it." When we go tomorrow, all three of us will go, and Ugo will also go, and how can we know so much without this kid following us. Also, Ugo can read Da Chu's characters now. ”

But Melilan said, "Tiemu, are you with us?" You're at a loss. You are a strong laborer and work a lot, but you are the only one in the family, and you have little place to spend money. If we don't work, we have to eat ourselves for a few months, or even a year, but we have two adults and three children. You're at a loss. ”

Temu waved his hand and said, "When we were still on the grassland, weren't we a tribe working together, living together, and grazing together? The children of the tribe are raised together. Where to divide each other. Now there are only three of us in the tribe. No, I still have three children, and in the future, I will also marry a daughter-in-law, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, I will also have children. Our population will grow more and more, and we may be able to become a big tribe in this Luzon island in the future. ”

Kumar felt his blood boiling when he thought about it, and said: "Our tribe is not small, and the pasture is good, but when a battle starts, the tribe dies and is wounded, and in the end, how many people are left in our tribe?" Probably less than a hundred. There are also those who went to the families of the nobles in the capital to be slaves, those who went to the land of Dachu to be slaves, and those who came to Luzon like us, but they were divided into four cities. Now, in Qingchun City, it's just our family. However, it is nothing, as long as we are alive, as long as we have freedom, we can be born, we can multiply, and finally become a big tribe. ”

Melilan was also a little sad when she thought about her previous life. However, after a moment, she thought about what was in front of her again, and said, "However, I think that whether we go to buy land or graze herds, at the beginning, we don't need my help, so let's just work on the construction site." In this way, my income of a few hundred dollars a month is enough for our family to eat and drink. In this way, you can rest assured when you open up the wasteland. ”

Kumar thought about it and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

Mei Lilun thought of another thing and said, "Since we can take out a loan, it is better to take out ten taels of silver from the silver paper of the loan and marry a daughter-in-law for Tiemu." Perhaps, in the spring, Tiemu's wife will be able to get pregnant, and in the autumn she will be able to give birth to a little barbarian child. ”

Temu hurriedly shook his hand, but Kuma laughed and grabbed Temu's hand and said, "Man, why are you shy, your sister-in-law is right, we will quickly handle your marriage and take advantage of the Chinese New Year to marry you a daughter-in-law."
