For more than half a month, the winter wheat harvest in Baifu County was completed, and the full wheat was to be kept as wheat seeds, which were collected by the government into the granary, and then reissued to the people after the imperial court allocated the silver.

All the people who participated in the winter wheat cultivation had the opportunity to keep 10% of the wheat seeds, and the rest of the wheat that was not suitable for wheat seeds was sold by them themselves or kept for taxes.

For a time, the people ate a few meals of pasta at home, and those with good conditions would leave some white noodles, which most people did not dare to imagine in previous years.

"I used to think about a variety of lands and more food, so that I could fill my stomach and exchange some money. But now that there is a workshop, a shop and a village at home, I feel that I have earned the least from farming. Bai Liu looked at the ledger and said with emotion.

"That's what I said, but our family is at ease, and we have surplus food at home." Bai Sanshu said with a smile.

"Uncle is right, no matter what kind of family it is, it is not panicked when there is food in hand."

Liu Zhenyou took a sip of tea and sighed:

"I don't know if I don't experience the famine, but on the way back from the south, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and the little money in my hand is not enough to chew."

"Xiuzhi, you can't forget your roots when you have money. This land, all the time is fate. Mrs. Liu patted Bai Liu's hand and said.

"Daddy, I didn't mean that."

Bai Liushi was said to have a fever on his face, and hurriedly explained:

"If it weren't for the fact that the land was not easy to buy, and the wasteland in front of our home was almost opened, our family would have bought more. I just feel that it is not easy for the villagers, and after a year of hard work, in addition to the subsistence food, there is not a few silver left, and it is no wonder that the scholars are expensive and cannot afford to study at all. ”

"There is a golden house in the book, but this golden house is also made of real money. Now the imperial court no longer has so many restrictions on merchants, but in the hearts of many people, it is still the positioning of Shinong industry and commerce. But who doesn't want to be an official and don't want to make more money? ”

Bai Ling lazily leaned on Bai Cao's shoulder, talking about the contradiction of time, and couldn't help but sneer.

"In fact, every industry has its desirability, and there will be many inconveniences if there is one less. I feel that being a person with a clear conscience, not making black money, and being able to have national righteousness at critical moments, then it will not be in vain, but I don't need to care too much about the opinions of the outside world, otherwise how tiring it will be to live. ”

"Mother, look, this girl is old-fashioned when she talks, and I'm worried about whether I can marry her." Seeing that several men actually nodded, Bai Liu's words agreed, so they had to pull Mrs. Liu for help.

Maybe it's because she has experienced a lot, but Mrs. Liu is very open-minded, waiting for Bai Liu's words:

"You, that's hypocrisy. Bai Ling has his own ability, but he is afraid that he will not have a good marriage? No one in these ten miles and eight villages dares to come to the door to ask for marriage, and I feel that I am not worthy of the daughter of the Bai family, and there are many good offspring outside. ”

Liu Zhenyou also nodded and said: "Your mother is right, the children and grandchildren here have their own children and grandchildren, so you don't care so much." ”

Bai Ling grimaced, sat up, cleared his throat and got down to business.

"Uncle, second uncle, I have an idea now, I want to ask you to help me. But you may have to be away from home a lot, and you will have to suffer a little. ”

"What's the matter? As long as the eldest uncle and your second uncle can do a good job, you can just say it. The Liu Fuwen brothers were all interested.

Eat and drink well in the Bai family, and there is no need to worry about the silver.

But it's hard to find work outside, and Bai Sanshu and his family don't let them go, always saying that they can help with more family matters, but in fact, they can't bear to let them suffer.

Now that the grain has been harvested, there are so many people and hired victims for the next farming, and the Liu family is idle.

Bai Liu wanted to speak, but Bai Ling quietly pulled her and gave her a reassuring look.

"The two uncles also knew that I had rented more than half of the back mountain, but there were not many kinds of medicinal herbs in the mountain, and most of the trees were of little value. So I want to work hard for the two uncles to find some other places for me, and I don't have to go too far, after all, it's cold in the north, and some plants are afraid that they won't survive the winter, so let's plant them first. ”

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the two uncles, Bai Ling smiled and continued:

"Ordinary people can eat a few bites of wild fruit at most throughout the year, and that's because there are few fruit trees in the north. When you are sick, you look down on the doctor, and that's because the medicine is too expensive. I didn't expect how much silver could be produced on the mountain, but if it could be planted successfully, it would also be the welfare of our people in the north, and I don't know how many people could be saved. ”

"But we don't know medicine, and we haven't planted fruit trees, so what if we make a mistake?" Liu Fuwen was a little interested, but he couldn't help but worry.

"It's not difficult, everyone in the family has learned some medical skills, so I asked the two of them to follow their uncles. As for fruit trees or something, I can only look at the vision and courage of the two uncles. Anyway, the saplings are not too expensive, and if we try it, we can drive the villagers to get rich, and if we fail, we won't lose anything. ”

Bai Ling smiled and gave the two of them a relief pill to eat.

As for letting the people go, it was entirely for the safety of the two.

"The foundation of the family is shallow, and even if the subordinates have learned something, they are not the ones who can make the decisions. If it weren't for the fact that my father couldn't get out, and we were all daughters, I was really embarrassed to bother the two uncles, after all, going out is not as comfortable as being at home. ”

The brothers of the Liu family glanced at each other, and after understanding what Bai Ling meant, they nodded and responded to the matter.

Liu Zhenyou said that he wanted to start a house, but Bai Sanshu and his family stopped him.

However, Bai Ling felt that this idea was good, and took the initiative to help find the mason, so that the two uncles could only go out with confidence.

When only his own family was left, Bai Liu's family couldn't help but complain to Bai Ling, "You girl, why did you agree so happily?" Are you afraid that your grandfather's family will make our family poor? ”

"Mother, you don't want to treat your daughter so wrongly."

Bai Ling had long been ready to be trained, and said aggrievedly:

"No matter how good our family is to grandpa, grandpa and they don't feel comfortable living in their own house. Besides, my cousin and cousin still have to study, and if they go out to live in my aunt's house, they must not be looked down upon by their classmates? ”

"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry, your grandfather's family doesn't have a living, where is the money to live on your own." Bai Liu still felt that Bai Ling had done something wrong.

"Grandpa, they built a house in front of our house, and after they moved out, their parents didn't care about them? Besides, I'm not looking for something for my two uncles, and I won't be less paid when I go back. When my grandfather's house is settled, I will send ten acres of land as a housewarming gift, and then ask my uncle and second uncle to help me take care of the shop. ”

Bai Ling didn't want to have an estrangement with the Bai Liu clan, so he said his plan.

"Didn't you rent out the shop in town? Wouldn't it be possible to take it back now? Bai Liu said hesitantly.

"I can't take it back, but I also bought a property in Fucheng, and there are always things that need someone to help me. Daddy, you can't get out of your body, it's better to use your uncle than to use outsiders, right? ”

Holding Bai Liu's arm, Bai Ling said coquettishly:

"Mother can rest assured, the daughter promises to help her uncle and them live a good life, you can let this matter go. If it can be solved with silver, the girl doesn't have to spend so much effort. ”
