"Brother Ergou, are you okay?" Early the next morning, Chen Mo ran to the field with the basket on his back, and Ado trotted to catch up, looking curiously at Chen Mo with a sunny face, this one was different at all last night.

"Figure it out." Chen Mo looked at Addo with a serious face.

"II...... Brother Ergou, why are you looking at me like this? Ado was a little hairy by Chen Mo.

"Zi said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, Ado, what can you teach me?" Chen Mo looked at Ado and asked seriously.

"Me?" Ado had a little dream, shook his head and said, "Brother Ergou, among us people, you are the most powerful, what can we teach you." ”

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the words of the ancestors may not be right, maybe you are the other two." ”

Addo: "......"

"Let's go quickly, don't let those outsiders come to grab grain, and by the way, see if this year's fertilization has any effect." Chen Mo shook his head and ran to the ground with Ado.

"Brother Ergou, wait for me~"

……

The next time is considered to be peaceful, although occasionally outsiders will come, but since the last incident, Li Zheng specially sent people to guard the periphery, if there are outsiders running, they will ring the gong to warn, Zhuang Yong will put down the work in his hand and assemble, although it has delayed a lot of time, but it can also prevent the crops in the field from being robbed.

This year should have been a bumper year for Chen Mo and them, because of the help of manure, each family's crops were at least one percent more harvest, but it was difficult for everyone to be happy, not only to pay taxes to the imperial court, but also to come and ask for a batch of Taiping people, although the surrounding ten miles and eight towns had a good impression of the Taiping Sect, but for them, it was obvious that there was some rejection of the Taiping Sect.

Uncle Wang has never come back, Chen Mo was sad from the beginning, and then gradually faded, because of helping each family to buy manure, Chen Mo's popularity here is much better than before, and there are many fewer people who call him dung, Chen Mo gradually has a new understanding of the teachings of his mother and Uncle Wang.

"The imperial court was taxed, and then the Taiping Sect came to draw a sum of money, and after calculation, although this year's harvest was a little more than last year's, but in our hands, it was less than 20%." Chen Mo carried the grain to the cellar and looked at his mother.

"That's right, this is not the chicken and duck sent by each family, there is also some meat, and when I go to the city next month to sell the female red made by my mother, in fact, this year's harvest is not less or even more than in previous years." Chen's mother smiled.

Indeed, because Chen Mo helped the families with manure, each family also gave a lot of things, some sent chickens or chicken eggs, and some sent some coarse cloth, and Li Zheng Ah Weng even asked his daughter-in-law to send a stone of rice, which is a good thing, and when put on the market, it is almost twice the price of corn.

With these words, the Chen family's harvest this year is a lot more than in previous years, and if it is counted as money, it can almost double that of last year, but Chen Mo still feels that he has suffered a loss, and those things from the Taiping Sect should not be given at all.

"Mother, I'm going to take advantage of the winter to find someone to help open a few more acres of land." Chen Mo came up from the cellar, hugged the sunspot, looked at his mother and said with a smile: "Or buy some thin fields directly, I have inquired, one acre of thin fields is about two thousand yuan, aside from our use, after selling these things, when we can buy two acres of thin fields, in this way, our family will have twelve acres, and then spend a thousand dollars to ask someone to help reclaim one acre, it will be thirteen acres, next year's harvest can be added to three percent, the amount of food we eat is certain, after next year's autumn harvest, there will be more surplus grain, I calculated, then you can add another five acres." In this way, within three years, our family will have 30 acres of thin land, and we can hire tenant farmers to help. ”

Chen Mo crossed his fingers and calculated, if there are thirty acres of thin fields at home, even if they can't be as rich as Lizheng Aweng's family, they will not have to worry about food and clothing after all, and if they go on like this, after having thirty acres of thin fields, in another three or five years, they will be able to have 100 acres of thin fields, and when the time comes, their abilities will definitely be stronger than now, and they can concentrate on thinking about how to enter the office.

Seeing her son looking forward to the future so happily, Chen's mother nodded with a smile, and then asked with a smile: "But we have no one to sell the land here, how are my sons going to be?" ”

Generally speaking, because Lizheng Aweng is not the kind of person who takes advantage of the situation, the villagers here live a good life, and for the people, the land is the lifeblood, and no one wants to sell it.

"I know." Chen Mo said confidently: "But there is no here, there is indeed wow." ”

"You can't do it that way." Mother Chen shook her head and said.

"Why?" Chen Mo wondered.

"There is only so much land on our side, they sell the land, they must be buying it, if you rob it, won't you provoke the other party for no reason?" Chen's mother smiled.

"Mother, why is this? The one with the highest price wins, and besides, how can there be a reason for bullying his own family members at home? Chen Mo frowned.

"Sometimes truth and truth are opposites." Mother Chen sighed and said, "We should be glad that we met a good Lizheng, but most of the Lizheng in the world are not like Ah Weng." ”

"Mother, why is this?" Chen Mo didn't understand, in his impression, even though Li Zheng was different, it was not enough to persecute his own family.

"Didn't you already say why?" Mother Chen looked at Chen Mo and smiled: "In fact, everyone wants to live a good life, and then they keep taking over the land, but for Lizheng, this mile of land is theirs, the land is only these, if the small family is in a good year, but if it is a disaster year, it can't resist, so you can only sell the land, at this time, the better Lizheng will give a good price, but if you meet a vicious person, you will take the opportunity to lower the price and buy it at a low price, if an outsider comes to buy land, he is a local Lizheng, there are many ways to let you have land and not get any food, In the end, I had to sell it to them obediently. ”

"This ......" Chen Mo looked at his mother blankly, wanting to refute, but it seemed to be true, and the most important thing was that in Chen Mo's plan for the future, except for the clever seizure of this link, it was basically the same as what his mother said.

"In most cases, there are very few cases like ours, and most of the families in Yili are tenant farmers of the Lizheng family, which is rare like ours." Mother Chen touched Chen Mo's head and smiled: "That's the reason why your father chose to be here when he was in trouble. ”

Chen Mo was a little dazed for a while, he wanted to be rich, but he always felt a little dirty with such means, Chen Mo suddenly had some confusion about the road to take in the future, in this regard, Chen's mother didn't speak, just watched quietly, although he couldn't bear it, but Chen Mo carried a family at a young age, some things must be known earlier than others, in the case of hedging between reality and good thoughts in his heart, how to choose, this has to be Chen Mo's own decision, and as a mother, what she has to do is to put these problems in front of Chen Mo.
