Fortunately, the warehouses and cellars of the Dong Mansion are enough now, otherwise there will not be enough places to raise seedlings.

After looking at the situation at home, the group went to the newly reclaimed wasteland.

King You affirmed Dong Changhe's preparation, seeing that there were still so many wastelands around, and knowing that these wastelands were ownerless, he generously said, "The wasteland around this is all for you, and when the time comes, this king will talk to Feng County's order."

In the future, he will help the king to cultivate seeds, and the king will spread these two crops on a large scale in the fiefdom. ”

Dong Changhe was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, Your Highness, the students will not disappoint Your Highness, and they will definitely make good use of these lands and cultivate more potatoes and sweet potatoes as soon as possible." It is not in vain that His Highness has rewarded the students with so much land. ”

Master Cao is also happy for Dong Changhe, he has been with Dong Changhe for so long, he has been taken care of by him, and he also has feelings, so he hopes that the Dong family can get better and better. He smiled and nodded at Dong Changhe.

King You's chin was pleased: "This king believes in you." ”

Perhaps because of Lord Cao's initial introduction, he was preconceived, although Xuanyuan Che and Dong Changhe only met for the first time, they still affirmed his knowledge and conversation.

It was learned that this season's potatoes can be planted on 700 acres of land, and sweet potatoes can be planted on 700 acres of land.

By waiting for the next season's potatoes, more than 4,000 acres of land can be planted, so the land owned by Dong Changhe will not be enough.

Since potatoes and sweet potatoes are to be promoted on a large scale, seeds are crucial.

Instead of handing it over to those who are not familiar with these two crops to plant, it is better to hand it over to Dong Changhe, a knowledgeable person, first.

With these two seasons of potato seeds and sweet potato seeds, it is not a problem to promote them in Changhai County first.

Therefore, in exchange for Dong Changhe's cooperation, King Youwang thinks it is worth it.

He also learned from Master Cao in private that the Dong family's house was newly built, and the original 300 acres of land were also newly cultivated.

So he can't let the family invest hard without any benefits, which is also unreasonable.

Before his father's reward arrived, in addition to thinking of giving Dong Changhe wasteland for free, he went on to say, "When the autumn harvest is due, this king will buy these potatoes and sweet potatoes at a price of five cents per catty, and this price will remain the same as the Dong family in three years!"

Dong Changhe didn't expect that there were such a big benefit waiting for him, so he hurriedly gave a salute and thanked him again, "Thank you, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to my expectations and make good use of these wastelands, and I will be tight-lipped about this price." ”

"In the future, the price of potatoes and sweet potatoes is estimated to be one or two cents, and His Royal Highness's kindness to the virtuous brother should not be forgotten!" Lord Cao reminded him at the right time.

Dong Changhe is a smart person, he understands the truth of this, he bowed his head and said gratefully, "Don't worry, my lord, the student is an understanding person, and he will never publicize this matter!"

Master Cao nodded and said no more.

With Youwang's promise, Dong Changhe dared to do it boldly with confidence, you must know that investing in such a large piece of wasteland requires manpower, material and financial resources that are not a matter of dozens of taels of silver.

The Dong family's current family base has to reclaim 4,000 acres of wasteland, build a house, and hire people to plant and manage it, although they don't need to buy land, but they also need close to thousands of taels of silver, which is almost the Dong family's family background.

It's a bit of a struggle to do.

Now with the promise of the King of You, you can harvest more than 30,000 taels of silver in the autumn, and it is still three years, and nearly 200,000 taels of silver can be earned in three years, this transaction is too cost-effective.

Three years later, the Dong family can go to the next level.

As far as he knows, even if his uncle has been in business all these years, the family wealth he has accumulated is only that.

You don't have to join the business to get such a big benefit, isn't this pie in the sky, what is it?

"I heard that I am still working as a steward in Shuijiazhuang, why don't you quit your job and devote yourself to developing the family's industry?" Xuanyuan Che was really curious, so he asked casually.

The three of them chatted as they walked.

Dong Changhe is also thinking about this problem, but he can't bear to quit at this time, after all, he just received the silver given by the owner of the water village last year, and promised others, and now it is time to be busy with farming, and it is really unreasonable to quit at this time.

"When the students just gave up the scientific examination, it was when they were young and frivolous, and the owner of the water village did not dislike me for being just a powerless scholar, so he resolutely hired the students, and the treatment was quite good.

I will never forget this kindness!

The owner of the water farm has been in poor health, and it is about to be the busy season of farming, no matter what, the students have to finish the year, and it is only right to have a beginning and an end!"

Dong Changhe explained simply, he was also worried that Youwang would dislike him for not paying attention to the things he explained.

After a pause, he continued: "However, the student has already told the owner of the water village that from April onwards, I will only work half a day a day, and he will arrange manpower to slowly take over the things on hand of the students."

Next year, students can quit their jobs. ”

"It's rare to do things with affection and righteousness. You are a rare talent, have you ever thought about serving the imperial court? King You admired Dong Changhe's character, and accepted his explanation easily, but he thought of Dong Changhe's ancestor and asked.

Dong Changhe showed a sad smile: "Why don't students want to serve the imperial court?" The entire Dong family also has this heart, but I have been dragged down by my body since I was a child, and fighting on the battlefield is a dream, I can only think about it but can't do it. The scientific examination is more than enough but not enough.

My father has always hoped that the children and grandchildren of the Dong family can re-enter the court and serve the court, but unfortunately there are several brothers, and now only the fourth brother is still studying, and it is hoped that he can make a name for himself.

And that's all I can do in this life......"

"Your body?" Although Youwang has heard Lord Cao mention it, but looking at Dong Changhe's appearance, his body should be fine? He couldn't help but stop and look at Dong Changhe suspiciously.

"The foot is burly, and he looks very healthy, although Lord Cao has said it, but I really can't see anything."

Dong Changhe explained, "The student is a strong outsider, not to mention anything else, even if it is a simple stay up late, it won't take long, just one night, I have to rest for two days to recover."

Although I don't need to take medicine from time to time, if I don't usually pay attention to maintenance, I guess I wouldn't have been there for a long time!

Just like the black chicken raised by Uchiko, whether it is eggs or chicken, it is reserved for students to eat, just to raise my body.

Married to Uchiko for a few years, all the good food in the family is also reserved for students, and two years ago, Uchiko and the little girl in the family almost didn't see the oil star in a year. ”
