The donkey cart quickly arrived at its destination along the main road, Yakou Village. In fact, the Xiaheba where Zhao Yuan's house is located is not far from Yakou Village, both south of the market in Gray Yuan Town. There was a section of the road that was very difficult to walk, in order to avoid danger, Zhao Yuan asked Meng Ying and Luoluo to get out of the car and walk, and he led the big donkey to walk with a white head.

The day before yesterday, when Uncle Wen's father and son arrived at Zhao Yuan's house, they had already told Zhao Yuan in detail about the location of his family in the village, but Zhao Yuan's family, who walked into Yakou Village, looked at the surprised eyes of the villagers and asked where Uncle Wen's house was.

Laughing at a few villagers in Yakou Village, Zhao Yuan took Meng Ying and Luoluo, led the white head, and walked towards Uncle Wen's house. Several children in ragged clothes followed behind Zhao Yuan's donkey cart and looked at Zhao Yuan's family curiously.

"Who came to find the old man, he looks very rich!"

"Maybe I heard that the old man's family is about to develop, and I heard that yesterday he dug up a sapling on his family's pear hill for a day."

"Did they ask for pear saplings, but why did the woman and the child come?"

"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of relative."

…………

Yakou Village is built on a large piece of flat land in front of the mountain, Uncle Wen's house is in the innermost, close to the back mountain, when Zhao Yuan's family came to Uncle Wen's house, Uncle Wen's family was not at home.

"Children, do you know where the Wen family went?" Zhao Yuan asked a young boy who looked the oldest following behind the donkey cart.

"Yes, they went to Lishan." The little boy dodged for a moment, and replied boldly.

"Do you know where Riyama is?" Zhao Yuan asked again.

"Yes, it's right behind here." The little boy pointed to the hill behind the house and said.

"Xiaoying, you and Luoluo will wait here for a while, and I'll go to the mountains to find them." Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Uncle, I want to go up the mountain." Luoluo said.

"Okay, in this way, I'll tie the donkey here first, and let's go up the mountain to have a look, and now the pear blossoms should be about to bloom."

Led by a few children, Zhao Yuan's family came to Lishan and saw Uncle Wen's family digging saplings.

"Brother Zhao, you guys are here so early?" Uncle Wen saw Zhao Yuan's family and said with a smile.

"Thinking about Uncle Wen, you have to dig up saplings in the past two days, and the dug saplings have to be pulled back and planted as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be easy to plant after a long time, how about it, how many have you dug up?" Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

"There are more than 200 large and small, but most of them are only one or two years old, a few years ago because there are too many saplings, I also shoveled some, but it's a pity, otherwise there can be a little more in about four years." Uncle Wen said regretfully.

"How many more can you dig up?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"There aren't many, and at most 100 or so can be dug up, because to keep a lump of soil at the root of the sapling, and it has to be tied with straw, it is relatively slow to dig, and it may take half a day to dig it up." Uncle Wen said with a smile.

Retaining a part of the soil at the roots of the saplings was Zhao Yuan's request, so as to ensure that the survival rate of these pear saplings could reach the highest.

"In this way, Uncle Wen, I see that many people in the village are free, or you can call a few people to help dig it, and then help transport it to the lower river dam, and I will pay the wages." Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said.

I only drove a donkey cart, and these pear saplings were loaded with soil at the roots, and the cart could not contain much at all, and they were transported back and planted immediately, just in time to ask the people of Yakou Village to help.

"That's great, now everyone happens to have nothing to do, and we don't have much land in the village, so I'll let Dongzi call it." Uncle Wen said happily.

Not all of this large pear mountain are owned by Uncle Wen's family, and some of them are from other families in the village, and if you call the people in the village, you can also buy more pear saplings from them.

Uncle Wen said to his son Wen Dong, Wen Dong said hello to Zhao Yuan, and ran down the mountain towards the village, and after a while, more than 30 men, women and children came to Lishan with hoes and some straw.

"Zhao Dongjia, how many pear saplings do you want to buy?" A middle-aged man who was dressed relatively neatly should have heard Wen Dong's introduction, walked up to Zhao Yuan and asked.

"May I ask who you are?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Brother Zhao, let me introduce you, this is Li Zheng from our Yakou Village, Wen Jianglang, Li Zheng, this is Zhao Yuan and Brother Zhao." Uncle Wen introduced.

"Uncle Lizheng, how many pear saplings there are, my house is in Xiaheba, there is half a mountain, I am ready to change it to Lishan." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"That's great, our village has the most pear trees in Gray Plains Town." Wen Jianglang said happily.

"Everyone has heard it, and they all deal with these pear saplings dug by Brother Wen's house."

"Lizheng, you need to separate the pear saplings of different years, the price given by Brother Zhao is very high, a four-year-old sapling is 100 wen iron money, a three-year-old sapling is 80 wen iron money, a two-year-old is 40 wen, and a one-year-old is 10 wen." Uncle Wen also said happily.

"It's so good, in the past, we shoveled these little pear saplings directly, and we can still sell them for money this year, by the way, Brother Zhao, Boss Zhao, you see so many pear trees, you have to find someone to help plant them when you pull them back, or let the people in our village help." Wen Jianglang's eyes rolled and said with a smile.

"I'm about to ask you to help, let's count how many pear saplings you can dig up." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"In my family, there are about 40 four-year-old plants, more than 20 three-year-old plants, more than 30 two-year-old plants, and the rest are all one-year-old." Uncle Wen said statistically.

"My family's Lishan is not as many as Wenbo's family, but it should be half of Wenbo's family."

"My family too."

"There are few trees in my house, Boss Zhao, I can go to your house to help work, and you can just watch the salary."

…………

Everyone was gossiping, Zhao Yuan counted all the pear saplings, regardless of size, there are more than 600 in total, although it is still a little small compared to half of the mountain, but you can also find other fruit saplings suitable for planting in the future.

"In this way, Uncle Lizheng, in our Yakou Village, all those who are willing to help plant trees are being paid according to 120 copper coins a day and 100 copper coins a day for half laborers, including food, what do you think?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Okay, but there are more than 30 people in our village who can work, and these trees should be planted in less than a day, right?" Rizheng asked.

"My family's mountain has not been cleaned up yet, and some trees, weeds and shrubs on the mountain need to be cleared before we can plant pear trees. By the way, if you are willing to go, come and help dig the saplings now, and after digging it later, help transport it to the lower river dam, and then help plant the trees, today is considered a day. Zhao Yuan said with a smile, without mentioning that there are still hundreds of acres of land at home that need to be cultivated, let's see how the people in this Yakou Village help to plant trees.

"Okay, our village should be one of the poorest villages in our entire Gray Plains Town, because there is little land, and the big guys have nowhere to go, Boss Zhao can rest assured, I will definitely urge everyone to work, and there will never be people who go to mix wages." Wen Jianglang said with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Lizheng, if anyone has an ox cart or a donkey cart nearby, I want to hire a few to transport these dug pear saplings back." Zhao Yuan asked again.

"No one in our village has one, but there are two in the next village, so I'll go and hire them for you." Wen Jianglang took the initiative to say.

"Okay, then it's going to be troublesome Uncle Lizheng."

"No trouble, no trouble, we want to thank you, haha." Wen Jianglang laughed and walked down the pear mountain.
