However, unlike the farmland on the North China Plain, Hamilton's farmland is very standardized, divided according to the grid blocks, and the farmland is square and neatly arranged, like a grid.

Hamilton is an important industrial city in Ontario, and in the past, it attached importance to industrial development and neglected agricultural development, and the local government restricted the sale of farms in order to protect the employment situation of the city's people, and only allowed the city's people to buy, so the farm prices have been low.

In recent years, the economic environment around the world was not good, Hamilton decided to diversify, began to pay attention to agriculture, and liberalized the policy to allow immigrants and Canadians from other provinces and cities to buy, but the development was slow.

Ontario's agricultural land is generally 160 acres per unit, and the government will issue a title certificate to each unit, and the purchase of a farm is the same as the purchase of a house, and brokers and lawyers will help go to the government to complete the land transfer procedures.

After the transfer of ownership, the purchaser has the right to use the land in perpetuity, and the owner can give it to his son when he dies, and the son to his grandson, and so on from generation to generation. Everything dug up in the ground of the farm during this period, anything found in the house, went to the owner.

Mao Weilong is already half an expert in this regard, and introduced the local food policy to Qin Shiou: "It should be noted that Hamilton's wheat and barley are purchased by the local agricultural bureau, and other crops don't matter. ”

Because he did not enter through the main entrance, the first thing Qin Shiou saw after crossing the fence was an oasis: a grove of poplars, pines and maples growing on the edge of the farm.

There was a small river at the edge of the woods, and the water meandered and flowed, when the two of them walked past. A few mallards flapped their wings and flew up.

"Hamilton has been raining a lot this year, voila. The sky is overcast again, and it looks like there will be several rains in October. I hope there won't be too much snow in winter, and it can be very troublesome for farmland to deal with snow disasters. Mao Weilong looked at the dark sky and said.

The two little bullies followed, and they clumsily burrowed into the fence, but they were so fat that they got stuck in the gap between the fences, and they whined helplessly.

Qin Shiou went up and pulled open the fence, and the little bully crawled out on all fours, squatted beside Qin Shiou and tore his trouser legs to play.

Walking through the grove, what greeted Qin Shiou's eyes was not a bumper harvest of wheat fields and crops. Rather, patches of pale green meadows.

It is as if you are suddenly on the grassland, the green meadow is vast and flat, except for a small lake in the middle, the rest is all meadow, and there is a group of goats walking slowly on the meadow, which is very quiet and beautiful.

"Under the Eilechuan and Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep! Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh.

Mao Weilong looked at him with a smile and said, "How is it, do you think this farm is beautiful?" ”

Qin Shiou said: "It's really great, much stronger than you." Why do you say that the farm is ruined? ”

Mao Weilong pointed at Qin Shiou and said, "You kid, don't you understand?" What have I been calling here? Farm! But look, where is the farmland? Can it be called a farm without farmland? That lawyer is cunning. Knowing that his land could not be planted with crops, he planted the grass, which did not require much nutrition. This thing doesn't work! ”

"That's a good ranch." Qin Shiou said.

Mao Weilong shook his head and said, "Yes." If you can do ranching, you can't do it, but the problem is that you can't do it at all! These grasses are not pastures, and you think pastures have low requirements for soil texture? Fart, higher! This kind of grass is just beautiful, but in fact there is not much nutrition, if you raise cattle and sheep here, wait for the loss. ”

Qin Shiou pointed to a group of black goats in the distance and laughed, Mao Weilong also laughed: "That's wild goats, Ontario has been flooded, just like the wild boars you have there, they can indeed eat anything, but they grow too slowly, they can't breed this thing to make money, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, Qin Shiou became interested and said, "Is there a flood of wild goats here?" ”

Mao Weilong nodded and said: "Yes, it's really a lot,, at the beginning I felt that Canada was doing a good job in environmental protection." In fact, bullshit, they can't take care of it, these wild goats have strong reproductive ability, and they have low requirements for food, so it's hard to clean up. ”

The two chatted all the way and walked for more than an hour before they approached the villa next to the lake.

The villa did not lock the door, the owner seemed to be not afraid of thieves at all, Qin Shiou went in and took a look, the villa here is not the same as the fishing ground, it is not an all-wood structure, but a common North American stone villa.

There were creepers on the wall at the back of the house, and the ground on the ground floor was covered with moss because of Hamilton's high vapour.

For a while, no one came to clean up and repair, and there were weeds around the house, Qin Shiou and the others walked over, and they were so frightened that a few gray-haired hares came out of the grass.

Mao Weilong taught the little bully dog to drive away the hare in his spare time, and as soon as he saw these fat guys, the two little bullies chased after him with a fat body, and his mouth made a childish whining sound, which looked menacing, but in fact, he couldn't even eat the fart of the hare.

It's no wonder that lawyer Lagrange bought the farm, which is not only wider than Mother Earth, but also has more beautiful architecture.

Even if no one has maintained it for a long time, the villa is still full of gorgeous atmosphere, the religious carvings on the marble exterior wall are very clear, and the stone used is very solid.

The villa is surrounded by a white wooden fence, the small fence is only waist high, and it is delicately painted, and some trumpet flowers are wrapped around it, adding a bit of romance.

Mao Weilong sat on the steps, stretched out his hand to pull away the weeds and grabbed a handful of soil, and said: "Hamilton doesn't have much black soil, and the soil nutrients are generally not very fertile, so it must be protected and used, otherwise it will be like this farm in a few years, and you can only grow weeds." ”

The villa faces the lake, and there is a lawn in the backyard with dozens of fruit trees, including pear, peach, apple and plum trees, with a strong pastoral atmosphere.

There are several small rivers on the farm, including the one next to the woods, which eventually converge into this small lake, where wild ducks and wild birds chase and play happily, and they make 'quack' calls from time to time, giving some vitality to the silent farm.

Passing through the backyard of the villa, there are tall and spacious cowsheds about 200 meters away, and behind the cowsheds are warehouses and tool rooms built with white iron sheets.

All the houses are not locked, because the tools and furniture inside have long been sold, and this lawyer is also ruthless, and he actually looted the farm so cleanly, what a talent! (To be continued......)
