Cheng Qing said that he wanted to plant flowers on the barren hills, and the villagers from Wuxin Town had a bitter face.

"The small ones don't grow flowers, they're delicate things, and the small ones are ordinary croppers......"

He can plant rice and vegetables, but he really can't plant flowers.

The thin layer of poor soil in the small barren hill would have been reclaimed long ago if it could grow something!

Nanyi's high-grade land is expensive, but the wasteland is cheap, as long as you cultivate it for a few years in a row and then pay a sum of money to the yamen, the reclaimed wasteland can be settled down. So it's not that they're lazy and don't want to reclaim the barren hills, it's that the place is too barren to be worth the effort.

The young master Cheng in front of him, I'm afraid he can't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings, but he wants to plant flowers on the barren hills, which is really whimsical.

Cheng Qing was not frightened:

"If you can't plant and go to school, the weeds on the barren hills can live, the small trees can live, why can't the flowers live? How to let the flowers survive on the barren hill is a matter for you to solve, now is not the time to farm, I will pay the wages for those who are willing to reclaim the barren hill for me, and I will bear the flower seeds, tools and ask the gardener to guide me, and you will have no loss if the seed fails. ”

The dealer was a little moved.

Cheng Qing is the owner of the grange, and these farmers are people who have no land in their own names and live on the fields under Cheng Qing's name, planting Cheng Qing's fields, and paying rent to Cheng Qing every year.

Occasionally, I caught some fish in the stream and picked up rabbits in the mountains, and I had to give Cheng Qing an "offering", for fear that Cheng Qing would not continue to cultivate the fields for them.

Not only Cheng Qing, but whoever is the owner of the land, the villagers will be so careful.

Some landlords are harsh, and some landlords are generous, all depending on the luck of the villagers.

The unequal status makes the dealer afraid of the landlord, Cheng Qing arranges tasks for the farmer, and the farmer subconsciously does not dare to respond, that is something he has not been exposed to, if he can't do it well, what should Master Cheng do if he gets angry?

But as soon as Cheng Qing insisted, he also said that there was a salary for reclamation, and the villagers were a little moved.

It is difficult to dig food in the soil, and if you can make a lot of money, there are people who are willing to work hard.

Cheng Qing knew it when he saw his expression, and added:

"As the old saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, I will not only give you the money to start work, if anyone who plants the flowers alive and planted well, I will have another reward!"

As soon as he said this, the two eyes of the farmer were as bright as candles, and he wished to start reclamation immediately.

Si Yan was puzzled.

Young Master Qing, what are you going to do!

On weekdays, the young master is not very particular about anything other than being willing to eat, how can he think of planting flowers in the wasteland?

The elegance of the scholar has nothing to do with Young Master Qing, who has always been very pragmatic.

If you really want to plant flowers on the small barren hills, how can you spend hundreds of taels of silver, and come up with such a large sum of money, Young Master Qing will be under a lot of pressure.

Si Yanzheng couldn't figure it out, and Cheng Qing named him:

"Si Yan, I want to put this matter in charge of you, are you sure you can do it well? By next spring at the latest, I'm going to see the first flowers bloom. ”

"The little one is willing to serve the young master!"

It seems that he will handle these things for the young master in the future, and Si Mo will stay by the young master's side to run errands, Si Yan has nothing to hesitate, his subordinates have been responsible for the work from the small house to the manager, but Cheng Qing's family business in Nanyi now only has a small village of 100 acres, and Si Yan's power is relatively small.

When Cheng Qing has a bigger family business, Si Yan will naturally rise.

The children of the family who are literate and hyphenation are different from the farmer, and they don't need her special encouragement, Cheng Qing likes the refreshing feeling that Si Yan dares to take responsibility.

"I'll give you two hundred taels of silver first, and I'll organize people to clear the wasteland first, and don't forget to find a gardener."

Alas, she spent the two hundred taels of silver she earned from Cui Fatzi before she had a chance to use it, and there was no way, if she wanted to make money, she had to invest in the early stage.

But two hundred taels of silver was not enough to leverage this business, and she had to find other ways to raise start-up capital.

It is impossible to go back and ask the family for money, Liu took his three sisters to do embroidery work at home, and the money saved by saving money is for her to study, and it will cost her money to go to the exam next year.

So she has to figure out the rest of the money herself.

Alas, it is difficult to make money by being trapped in the academy every day, and Dawei is not like the information explosion in modern society, she can make money without leaving home, and if she wants to make money by doing business, she must run by herself to discover business opportunities.

But she can't be split into two by herself, and the premise of saving money is not to delay her studies, which is more worrying...... After all, an unjust head like Cui Fatzi is rare, and Cheng Qing is very sorry.

At night, when she made false accounts, she sighed for a long time, and Meng Huaijin put down her pen and looked at her quietly.

On the night when Cheng Qing made false accounts, Meng Huaijin would also stay in the study, and the two would not interfere with each other, so as not to be discovered by others.

Cheng Qing smiled embarrassedly, "Senior Brother Meng, I'm just ......"

"You've just practiced for so long and haven't made progress and lost your patience?"

Well?

I'm not practicing calligraphy, she's making fake accounts, and she doesn't care about scribbling in order to pursue speed...... Wait, Meng Huaijin's expression is not quite right.

Cheng Qing's spirit tensed instantly, and Meng Huaijin had already left the desk and removed a sword from the wall.

What to do with the sword, Cheng Qing always thought that the sword hanging on the wall was an ornament!

A figure swept in front of her, and Meng Huaijin had already arrived outside the house, so fast that Cheng Qing was dazzled.

The sword light flashed a few times, a miserable scream sounded in the courtyard, and a black thing fell from the wall, Meng Huaijin stood with a sword in a wide robe and big sleeves, the tip of the sword was against the throat of the black shadow, and if he sent it forward, he was about to stab a bloody hole in the throat of the other party.

"Senior brother!"

Cheng Qing guarded the door and didn't dare to move.

She was afraid that someone would break into the study, and she was even more afraid that the thieves hiding in the shadows would attack her, the account book was important, and her life was even more important!

"Senior Brother Cheng stay where he is and don't move, this thief has been restrained by me, the academy's guardian will come soon when he hears the movement, and my courtyard will be wild!"

Oh, the people from the academy will come?

Cheng Qing hurriedly collected the account book.

The black shadow pointed at by Meng Huaijin with a sword covered his shoulder with one hand, and blood flowed down through his fingers.

"Senior Brother Meng, it's my ......"

Meng Huaijin sent the sword forward, "Hugh has to call it randomly, Meng is not a thief's junior brother!" ”

The black shadow was so aggrieved that he gritted his teeth and said:

"It's me, Yu Xian!"

Cheng Qing was unexpected.

Meng Huai caught the thief, but caught Yu San?

Yu Sansan didn't sleep at night, sneakily climbed Meng Huaijin's wall to do something, and there was no reason to steal incense and jade to Meng Huaijin, Cheng Qing was made cold by his own thoughts. Wait, she feels being watched these days, is it Yu San?

Cheng Qing took the candlestick to the door, and as soon as the candlelight shone, she saw Yu San squatting on the ground in embarrassment.

"Yu San, I suspect that you really have something wrong with your brain, senior brother, give him to the academy, if you come uninvited, you are a thief, he is a thief!"

Yu San covered his shoulders, "You and Senior Brother Meng are sneaky, I don't know what kind of unsightly things you are doing——"

Meng Huaijin shook his wrist and shaved off Yu Sanyi's hair against his scalp:

"You have repeatedly troubled Cheng Qing in the academy and provoked you everywhere, Cheng Qing can't do anything about you not because you are powerful, but because you have a good father. Yu Xian, you shouldn't mess with me, even if I kill you by mistake, I can explain the past in front of Lord Yu, do you believe it or not? ”
