Chapter 083 - Private Interview with Weifu
However, after Cai Dao's improvement in the past few years, the original Cai family's farmland has become a fertile field, as long as it is maintained well, at least it is not difficult for this year's early rice to have a bumper yield.
Although the family is now separated, no one wants the farmland belonging to the Cai family to be greatly reduced because of this, so Cai Xi also deliberately took out some experienced and elderly farmers who were more proficient in Cai Dao's farming theory and sent them to the Cai family to guide and help.
Since Cai Fu is a housekeeper, of course he also knows how to farm, but he has heard about the various magical performances of the second son of the second master's family in Bianliang, so he naturally will not refuse Cai Xi's kindness.
Cai Xi did more than that, and he spent a lot of money to acquire the land of some surrounding villages and towns near Xiaoci Liji.
Those large and medium-sized landlords were naturally reluctant to give up their ancestral business.
But now it is different from when Cai Dao first came to your land, as soon as those families with a few acres of thin fields heard that it was the Cai family who received the land, they all sold all the land in their hands to Cai Xi.
Those who sold their land were not only middle peasants or rich peasants, but even some small landlords could not stand the temptation of the Cai family's generous treatment and made the same decision, not to mention, Cai Xi gave a price that was one percent higher than the market price, which was quite fair.
Especially this time, Cai Xi actually took it upon himself to acquire some barren mountains and mountains.
The reason why Cai Xi did this was also to leave a way back for Cai Dao and prevent him from losing his roots in the future. What's more, if you don't have food in your hands, what's the use of having more gold, silver, and ships in your hands
In this way, all the land around Xiaocili that could be bought was gathered in Cai Xi's hands.
When Cai Fu got the news, he had missed the best opportunity, so he could only go to the surrounding areas of Xianyou County to draw land and increase Caifu's land production. But even so, it still made Cai Fu more than double the land of Caifu.
After saying all this, Cai Xi looked at Cai Dao's face worriedly.
However, Cai Dao has now been experienced, and this little thing will not make him change his face and color because of anger. He naturally understood in his heart that Cai Xi had good intentions in doing this, and he didn't blame him, but he inevitably sneered at Cai Xi's senseless worries and traditional practices.
Outside the land of Fujian, there are countless fertile fields waiting for Cai Dao to develop.
Cai Xi's approach will not only waste a lot of money, but also a lot of manpower.
Next, it was supposed to be Cai Duji's turn to report, but Cai Dao waved his hand to signal him not to speak.
He also wanted to have a good talk with Cai Duyi, but Dean was always by his side, and some things could not be known to anyone outside this family for the time being.
Therefore, Cai Dao hurriedly diverted the topic, only to hear him ask Cai One-armed with a strange smile: "One-armed grandpa, your old man is still old-hearted, but I heard that you abducted the widow Lin from the next village back to your home, are you about to give birth to a big fat boy now?" Wow quack......"
Cai Dao used his characteristic weird smile to show his bad taste.
Hearing this, Cai Dushu turned around and glared at the crew viciously, muttering: "These rabbit cubs, dare to say anything to the son!" After going back, the Sprinkle family must have a good reception. ”
"Young master, don't listen to those stinky boys' nonsense, Widow Lin volunteered to go home with the Sprinkle family! ......" Cai Duyi has been at sea for many years, and his old face has been turned purple by the scorching sun, and he can't see any embarrassed expression at all, and he is only halfway through his words, and suddenly asks, "By the way, young master, how did you know that the Hun family of the Sprinkle family was going to have a child!" This matter, the Sprinkle family also knew about yesterday's meal! ”
"Ugh!" Cai Daoxin said: I can say that this is just a sentence that ridicules Cai one-armed, but when he saw the adoring look of the people around him, he knew that he had accidentally become a god stick again.
The more this kind of thing is said, it will only become darker and darker, and the explanation will become a cover-up, and he will not be too lazy to explain.
So, not saying a word is the best way to deal with it right now.
"Hey grandpa, in the future, don't spend money to buy those lands. Even in the future, if someone wants to spend money to buy our land, they can also negotiate, as long as it is the same price as you, then get rid of it quickly. As for the food, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way of dealing with it. No one would have thought that these people would take their jokes seriously, and Cai Dao had no choice but to bluntly turn the topic to the food issue that everyone was more concerned about.
Among them, only Cai Dushou understands what Cai Dao's countermeasures are, which is why he is in a hurry to report to Cai Dao.
Since he talked about those barren mountains, Cai Dao suddenly remembered that since he had been cut off from the Cai family, he should be more thorough.
He then ordered: "By the way, Grandpa Xi, this season's early rice will be counted." However, if the Cai family wants the fertilizer in our barren mountain pasture in the future, then they must spend money to buy it. Otherwise, we will keep the fertilizer in the barren mountain pasture for our own use, and the excess will simply be given to Patriarch Cai Xuan for nothing, and it is not bad to do it personally. ”
"No!" Cai Xi agreed, but he was still thinking about Cai Dao's words just now, and he really couldn't understand what Cai Dao meant, why did he have to give up the land he had bought with great difficulty?
Cai Dao naturally wouldn't explain the reason for this to Cai Xi, he stood up and coughed, signaling everyone to be quiet.
In fact, now the whole room is still talking quietly in Cai Ban alone.
As soon as the little guy got off the boat, he and Cai Bucket surrounded Sister Hua left and right, completely leaving Cai Dao, the little master, aside. At such a young age, he learned to be so heavy on color and light on the master, how can he get it in the future!
Just as he was talking happily, the little fart was kicked by Cai Xi, and he was lying on the ground with a stagger. When he looked back, it turned out that his grandfather was kicking him, and now he was glaring at him, so he immediately understood that Childe had something to say, so he immediately covered his mouth.
Cai Dao also glared at the kid fiercely, and then announced loudly: "Now in this family, there will be no old master and young master in the future, I, I can call him Gongzi in the future." Do you understand? ”
"No! Son! The subordinates replied loudly and neatly.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's go, let's eat together!" After speaking, Cai Dao waved his arms and took the lead towards the canteen of the shipyard.
Naturally, there is also a canteen in the new house, but there are too many people to welcome Cai Dao this time, and the family can't put it up, and it's noon again. Naturally, the shipyard's canteen became the place of choice.
Of course, Cai Dao naturally will not forget the people who greeted him warmly. He ordered his servants and cooks to have a feast at the door of his house. Three sheep, six pigs, nine chickens, ducks and geese, and countless eggs, entertain them with these meaty foods.
Although the lives of the people in Xiaocili have improved greatly recently, there is still a big gap between them and the days when they have meat to eat. Especially for those children who are growing their bodies, they should eat more meat to supplement their nutrition.
Cai Dao behaved so boldly, which made the forbidden army who came to Xiaocili for the first time speechless, and some of them thought that Cai Dao was pretending to be bold in front of them, and he was doing it to the forbidden soldiers for them to see.
However, the people who came here with Dean last time naturally knew that Cai Dao was really bold, and everyone who did things for him. Not to mention the butler, even the ordinary craftsmen under their command do not spare food and rewards.
Cai Fu also went to the dock, but he didn't go to meet Cai Dao.
He came this time to follow the order that Cai Jing had privately confessed when he left Beijing, so that he could observe the influence of the third prince in the township at close range. He was dressed in civilian clothes, and he had just returned to Cai's house, and no one under Cai Dao could recognize him except for Cai Xi's family and Cai Dusang. Cai Dao is the third of the two Cai's nephews, so he is called the third son.
People saw that such a grand occasion was also close at hand, and Cai Dao actually took out such a big deal to entertain the township. In addition, the third son's ability to farm, raise livestock, and build ships is so outstanding, so that the villagers have a good life. In this situation, when the late old prime minister Cai Xiang was alive, it couldn't be compared!
Cai Fu was not the only one who was interviewed by Weifu, and two other people also came to Xiaoci in civilian clothes.
