Chapter 41: The Second King Next Door

"Bury it!"

"Huh?" The three siblings looked at her at the same time.

Shen Wang said: "With so much silver, if it is known, won't it be eaten alive?" You see the people in the village are kind-eyed, it's because we are just as poor. If our family suddenly prospers, we will be envied. ”

Shen Kang couldn't help but sigh, Shen Wang's family is transparent, this is the experience of life.

But there's no need to bury it!

Shen Ning and Shen Chang looked at Shen Kang and asked what he meant.

Shen Kang pursed his lips, twisted his fingers around his cuffs, and said with a smile: "Dad is the head of the family, let's wait for Dad to come back." "He still thinks his life is short, he directly confronts Shen Wang's family, and he is not slapped to death by a broom, and this matter has to wait for Shen Cheng to be present.

Shen Wang nodded approvingly: "Okay, first, bury it first, it's too dazzling." ”

The three sisters and brothers of the Shen family were ordered to pick up the cloth bag and go to the backyard.

Shen Chang's injuries had not healed and he couldn't bear it, so Shen Kang dug a pit in the backyard, and at this time a fable lingered in his mind: there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

Belch... If Wang Er really came to dig it up, and left a note saying: Wang Er next door didn't steal it, it would be funny.

Shen Kang immediately said: "No, don't bury it, this money must be distributed well." He buried the upturned mound again, and took Shen Ning and Shen Chang, who were confused, back to the house.

The sky gradually darkened completely, Shen Cheng dragged his tired body home, only to see Shen Wang's standing at the door, coming forward from afar, and he didn't care about the eyes of others, and directly dragged Shen Cheng home.

"What's going on?" Although Shen Cheng enjoyed being held by Shen Wang's hand, his face was still a little red, and he asked a little embarrassed.

Shen Wang didn't answer, but only wanted to tell him about the silver as soon as possible.

Finally the husband and wife entered the door, and Shen Wang's family locked the door tightly, and Shen Cheng felt strange.

When the two of them came in, they saw three small ones sitting around the table, and the cloth bag on the table revealed the white flowers, Shen Cheng panicked for a moment: "Where, where did it come from!" ”

It's over, and the whole family is stuttered with three hundred taels of silver.

Shen Wang hurriedly pulled Shen Cheng to sit down, and told the day's events again.

Shen Cheng heard it in a fog, but the words came out of Shen Wang's mouth, and the three children swore to each other, and there was a poem that he couldn't understand, but the rhyme was catchy.

He didn't question where the silver came from, so the question came back to what to do with it.

Shen Cheng didn't give any advice, but asked Shen Kang: "San'er, according to you, what should you do with this silver?" ”

Shen Kang pondered for a moment, twisted his cuffs, smiled and raised his hand to take out an ingot of ten taels of silver and put it in front of Shen Cheng, and said, "The jade mining mine is dangerous, and Daddy Ming'er will no longer go." These ten taels of silver, Ming'er went to the county to buy some chickens, ducks and geese to come back, and then bought two sheep back, and in the future, our family will drink goat's milk and eat chickens every day. ”

He took another ten taels of silver and put it in front of Shen Wang's family, and said, "For these ten taels, my mother and my father can go to the county seat to buy some things they like, such as clothes, fat powder or new farm tools." ”

He took a few taels of broken silver and put them in front of Shen Ning, Shen Chang and himself, and said, "Let's have a few odd flowers." ”

After dividing the circle, the pile of silver seemed to have not been moved, and Shen Kang continued: "Take out twenty taels of silver to repair the house." ”

He took out the pile of silver and said, "These are given to the eldest sister as a dowry to press the bottom of the box, and then move when the eldest sister gets married." ”

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chengdao: "Dad, I want to contract a piece of mountain land, what do you think?" ”

Shen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Mountain? Do you want to plant fruit trees? ”

Shen Kang shook his head and said, "Change the forest into a field." I had read about the terraced fields of farmers in the south in Mr. Liu's book, and I thought that we could also try to convert the mountains and forests into terraced fields. ”

Shen Chenghu said suspiciously: "Our Runing Mansion has few fertile fields, but more hills and mountains. In the past thousands of years, they have all come over like this, changing forests into fields? Why didn't anyone think of it? It's also too unrealistic. ”

Shen Kang smiled calmly and said, "Father, tell me, why not?" Others didn't expect it, it was because others didn't think about it at all, we thought of it, and we started to do it. ”

Shen Chengdao: "Just talking about irrigation, how many trips does it take to carry water from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain?" ”

Shen Kang said: "At the foot of the mountain, the Xinyang River has abundant water, and we can find a way to divert water uphill." ”

"How?"

Shen Kang said: "After the beginning of spring, the river surface thaws, and we can pay for the construction of a waterwheel by the Xinyang River." With the pool and the connecting cylinder, it can send water from the lower place to the higher place, which can be used to draw water for irrigation in times of drought, and can also be used to drain water and relieve waterlogging in the event of flooding. The neighbors will rejoice! ”

Shen Cheng thought about it, his face loosened slightly, and said: "It's different when you read, and your brain is more lively than others, this money is earned by you, and it is up to you to spend your father how you want." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the family and said, "Rush Ming'er's new village chief to take office, let's buy land." ”

Shen Wang nodded, had infinite trust in Shen Kang, and said, "Our junior is a Wenqu star, what you said is right." ”

Belch... Mother, how can anyone praise their children so unsparingly. The modern people's set, "you look at other people's children", in front of Shen's mother, are all scum.

Straight to the point.

In fact, since the last time he learned that the Shen family cultivated ten acres of land, but only had two or three taels of silver left in a year, Shen Kang has been secretly thinking about how to get rid of poverty and become rich.

After thinking about it, as a farmer, the safest way is to connect with the land.

A few days ago, he suddenly remembered that in modern times, he once ate a special kind of crab. is a colleague from his hometown in the Northeast, and he sent a thank you gift to relatives and friends after getting married.

Rice crab.

The crab meat is delicious, yellow as gold, compared to the big guy like hairy crab, it has a different taste. In fact, according to Shen Kang, rice crabs are much better than hairy crabs.

After eating it once, he actually had some taste of the marrow, but unfortunately the rice crab is really not cheap, and there is no time to miss the season, in addition to supplying it to the locals, it is really rare to have a taste in other places. Because of his curiosity, he deliberately rummaged through the information about rice crab breeding.

It can be said that the breeding of rice crabs has a hundred benefits and no harm, the crabs feed on the weeds and pests in the rice fields, which eliminates the pests and diseases of the rice, and the excrement can fertilize the fields and make the rice grow better.

It's a natural symbiosis, and the two are mutually beneficial.

Thinking of the golden autumn of October, the rice crabs also ushered in a bumper harvest under the rolling wheat waves, how spectacular it should be.

More importantly, there were many literati in the Ming Dynasty, and many literati liked to be vassals and elegant.

That's right, it's elegance!

The rice harvest season coincides with autumn......
