Isn't this kind of achievement the greatest pursuit of his life!

Therefore, the Li Zheng of Lijia Village is also extremely active in the Xue family's purchase of land.

When a group of people came to the pavilion chief's house, he was just as frightened by them as the two of them.

The Xue family's speed of buying land here is too frequent!

With the addition of these 3,000 acres, there are a total of 5,000 acres of land before and after.

Definitely a big deal.

After some emotion, I was naturally overjoyed and enthusiastically helped.

Regarding the matter of buying land, except for Lizheng in Lijia Village, several other people are already familiar with the road.

It was at this price that several parties fought back and forth several times, and finally sold for two thousand one hundred and forty-five taels of silver.

The previous transaction price was 725 taels of silver for 1,000 mu, but now these 3,000 mu are 30 taels cheaper.

Subsequently, all the follow-up problems, the pavilion chief opened the back door for them, and quickly dealt with them, and in the end, they only had to wait for the county lord to give the final instructions.

This time, the pavilion chief also took the trouble to find the master to talk about the item.

During the Chinese New Year, the county master himself also had a lot of important things to do, coupled with the master's lobbying, he was a lot happier this time, and within a few days, the Xue family paid the silver and got the land deed.

As soon as the land was in hand, the villagers who had been hired immediately joined the reclamation army.

This year, for the orchard, the Xue family hired hundreds of people, especially in the first few days, recruiting people to the next few villages.

Now there are 3,000 acres of mountain forests that need to be cultivated, so naturally a large number of laborers will be recruited.

But there are only 1,000 people in Zhaojia Village, and there are still hundreds of people who go to work in the orchard, and the manpower is obviously insufficient.

Therefore, the Xue family had to recruit to several villages next door, such as Shanhe Village, Baijia Village, and Lijia Village.

Especially in Lijia Village, because some of the mountains and forests are within the scope of Lijia Village, the labor required is naturally the most suitable for recruiting people nearby.

In addition to these labor costs, during this period of time, a lot of silver has to be invested in the orchard for expansion and transformation, and although it is recorded a lot every day, it is obviously not enough to pay for the investment, and the Xue family has to subsidize a lot.

And don't forget, the Xue family has another expense, that is, the farm.

Catching piglets and buying feed is another expenditure of five or six hundred taels of silver.

The biggest expense is, of course, the amount of money that the hunting team will spend on them after they join the hunting team.

Just to buy them equipment, buy potions, and pay for the deed of sale, it would cost them at least three hundred and fifty taels each.

And the Xue family also expanded their residence, which is a few hundred taels.

As for the income, it is the output of the pond and the harvest of the hunting team.

And this pond, there can be fifty or sixty taels of silver per month, and it is necessary to remove some input and labor costs.

The family's biggest income today still comes from hunting.

Although the number of members of the hunting team has increased dramatically, after all, many of them have just joined the team, and most of them have just started to succeed, and they have not undergone systematic training, and their personal strength is far inferior to the original team members.

Although the number of people has increased from 26 to 60, the overall strength has indeed increased a lot, but the daily income has probably increased from the original average of 567 taels per day to 100 taels.

And that's not even counting the meat they brought home for the team to eat.

But a hundred taels is the income of the whole team, but excluding the medicinal materials needed for taking a medicinal bath, food consumption and other daily expenses, as well as the wages to be paid to the team members, the remaining is less than seventy taels.

And this is still based on the fact that the hunting team only paid less than half of the wages to the team members, if these are removed, the hundred taels of silver, Xue Langjing will earn less than fifty taels personally.

However, Xue Langjing does not need to worry about this division of labor for the time being, and it will take several years before it needs to be paid, at least it can be used by the Xue family in the next few years.

In other words, Xue Langjing alone directly accounted for half of the income of the hunting team, isn't it a little too inauthentic?

That's wrong, we have to think about how much she put into the hunting team.

Most of the silver she has earned in the past two years, except for the few properties in her name that add up to a few thousand taels of silver, have been invested in the hunting team.

After a total calculation, in the small half year after the New Year, although the Xue family's daily account is large, the account is even larger.

The 2,500 silver that was saved with great difficulty a year ago was all spent on 3,000 acres of mountains and forests.

In the end, the surplus was less than 1,500 taels.

If you want to buy more mountains and forests to grow sweet potatoes for the next season, this amount of money is obviously not enough.

In this regard, Xue Langjing had to sigh, it is really not easy to make a fortune.

It is now the middle of April, and it is time for the seedlings planted at the beginning of the year to be cutting.

At the same time, more than 100 acres of sweet potatoes planted last year seem to have reached the ripening season and will soon be able to be excavated.

At this time, the 3,000 acres of mountainous land have also been reclaimed, and the entire mountainous land has been enclosed.

As soon as the time for cuttings arrived, the Xue family gathered a lot of laborers to cut seedlings and cuttings for the seedlings raised in January.

In addition to the large number of seedlings at the beginning, this batch of seedlings has been pruned several times after the second breeding of new seedlings, and a total of more than 200 acres of sweet potatoes have been planted before and after, which is still a few, and the bigger ones are still to come.

Before this batch of seedlings was cut, the sweet potatoes planted in November last year were ripe again, and the harvest of this batch of sweet potatoes was the real big one.

Last year, a total of 115 acres of sweet potatoes were planted.

The Xue family plans to use the sweet potatoes and even vine seedlings grown in this more than 100 acres of fields as sweet potato seeds and seedlings, and they usually serve them with all their heart.

Unlike other farmers, the Xue family does not lack fertilizer, and there is no shortage of manpower because it is all hired.

With such careful service and strict planting in accordance with the guidance manual provided by the Zheng family, the results of this batch of sweet potatoes are also extremely gratifying.

One hundred and fifteen acres of land directly planted more than 550,000 catties of sweet potatoes.

They had tasted sweet potatoes a few times before, and the taste is still unforgettable, and this is a proper grain.

If it is promoted, then the production will inevitably increase significantly, and the corresponding price of sweet potatoes will fall.

But now their Xue family is the only one, and as a grower, no matter how hard they plant, all the output will not be able to impact the grain price of Chu State.

In this way, the price of sweet potatoes is naturally up to their family.

This was also Zheng Linchu's purpose at the beginning.

Even if it is calculated at the lowest price of miscellaneous grains, a pound is counted as a penny, then how can these 550,000 catties of sweet potatoes cost 550,000 taels of silver!

More than 100 acres of land can harvest 550 taels of silver in only half a year, which means that one acre of land can harvest 5 taels of silver in half a year.

And to grow other grains, one acre of land can earn less than 400 yuan a year, let alone half a year.
