Chapter Twenty-Six: The Little Rich Man
"How?" Wang Furen asked.
Luo Qingqing pretended to hesitate for a while, but shook his head, "Master Wang, I can't hide it, I'm going to plant medicinal herbs, but I'm not in a hurry yet." ”
"Why not rush? Now that you have an idea, you need to do it as soon as possible. ”
"Because I think so, since it's easier to make money by growing medicinal herbs, I can't make it alone, I think about planting it in partnership with the villagers of our Willow Village."
"Partnership?"
"That's right, now every family in the village has a few acres of land, right? When the time comes, after harvesting the crops, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to gather together to plant medicinal herbs? ”
When Wang Furen heard this, he frowned, "Miss Luo, business is not like this. Think about it, with other people's fields and money, what else do you earn? ”
Luo Qingqing thought for a while, "Hmm, what Master Wang said makes sense. ”
"So, you still have to rent the land and grow it yourself, don't you?"
"Then of course I want to rent fifty acres, and rent it for five or six years first."
Wang Furen was happy, "Okay, fifty acres of land, my Wang family has it, right at the entrance of your Liushu Village." In this way, the rent price of my Wang family has always been 200 copper plates per mu per year. If you rent it for five years, then it should be a hundred taels of silver. ”
"Huh? One hundred taels, that's too much, right? ”
"Don't worry, Miss Luo, I'll give you a cheaper. Fifty acres of land rent for five years, I will charge you ninety taels, what do you think? ”
Luo Qingqing shook his head when he heard this, "No, Master Wang, it's still more." ”
"Then, those eighty taels, it's always okay." Wang Furen gritted his teeth and said.
"Eighty taels won't work."
"You-" Wang Furen stood up, "Then you say, how many taels do you say you are willing to pay?" ”
Luo Qingqing weakly stretched out two fingers, "I can only give out twenty taels." ”
"No, that's too little, isn't it?" Wang Furen was a little angry, fifty acres of land rent for five years, this girl is only willing to pay twenty taels, is this playing tricks on him?
Seeing that Wang Furen was unhappy, Luo Qingqing said tentatively: "Master Wang, you listen to me finish speaking." ”
"What else is there to say?"
"I can only give you twenty taels, but we can cooperate. In the future, I will give you twenty percent of the money I earn. ”
"How many can there be?" Wang Furen said.
"It's a lot, I haven't planted herbs yet, just by picking herbs, I can get 200 copper plates a day, so my annual income is 60 taels, and 20% is 12 taels. What's more, I haven't grown my own herbs yet. ”
"So you can make money?" Wang Furen felt incredulous, "Medicinal herbs are so valuable? ”
"No, this is just an ordinary herb, if you grow ginseng, plant He Shou Wu, you just think about it, you can wait at home and count the silver."
Luo Qingqing analyzed it like this, and Wang Furen was happy again.
What Luo Qingqing said is very right. Think about it these days, when they sell medicinal herbs, there are a few horse-drawn carts, which are all white flowers.
If she doesn't earn it, where will she get the carriage?
The more Wang Furen thought about it, the more he felt right. immediately slapped the table, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, fifty acres of land, rent for five years, you give me twenty taels, and I'll wait for the rest to get a share next year." ”
"So we're done?"
"No problem, come on, find me Mr. Ledger, I want to sign and put my fingerprint with Miss Luo."
Just do it, Luo Qingqing signed a new title deed with Wang Furen at Luo's house.
"Master Wang, I still keep this silver at home, otherwise, let the king's steward go back with us to allocate land, and then give him a piece?"
Wang Furen thought for a while, "I don't need him, I'm going to see it for myself today." ”
The clouds on the horizon were as brilliant as fire, Luo Qingqing took the lead, and drove across the small bridge at the entrance of the village with five or two carriages in a row, and stopped at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, it is the time for the villagers to work in the fields.
In the small mountain village, there were five horse-drawn carriages parked at once, and these villagers would not gather together to watch the excitement.
"Hey, you see, it's Qingqing's carriage."
"yes, why is this stopped?"
"Alas, that man, so familiar, like the rich man of the town."
"No, what are they going to do?"
These people gathered around and watched. I saw that the steward of the rich man's house led Luo Qingqing and others to measure the land, and after a while, Li Ruier also found the village chief Li Dayong.
Liu Dayong was shocked at first, but he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut later.
"What the hell is going on?" Aunt Feng couldn't sit still, and trotted over to find her son, "Hey, youcai, what are Qingqing and the village chief doing?" ”
Feng Youcai was very excited, and gestured as he spoke: "Mother, you don't know yet, right?" Do you see this land? This is all rented by Qingqing girl, a full fifty acres. ”
"What?" Aunt Feng was frightened, "Fifty acres." ”
"yes, we're going to grow herbs."
Feng Youcai said, and someone not far away beckoned him to come over. He hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go over and get busy first." ”
Aunt Feng stared at her for a long time before she reacted.
"My mother, this girl from the Luo family is also going to become a little rich man, right?"
The women in the village have always had long tongues, and everyone in the village knows that a little thing can be passed on. Not to mention something as big as fifty acres of land.
Within two hours, the news had spread throughout the village.
Many elderly people and children who were resting at home also came out to see.
Seeing that the king steward had finished measuring the land, Luo Qingqing took out a bag of silver and gave it to the rich man, and the rich man and his party left happily.
Later, Liu Gang and others also drove the carriage away. Luo Qingqing and his apprentices walked home from the entrance of the village.
Along the way, all the people in the village came together.
Everyone looked at Luo Qingqing incredulously and couldn't take their eyes off it, and even Aunt Zhao, who had been at odds with her, was full of envy.
Luo Qingqing was uncomfortable with them.
Finally, I don't know whose daughter-in-law opened her mouth first, "Qingqing, your medicine collection point is getting bigger and bigger, and there is still a shortage of apprentices?" My brother wants to try it too. ”
"Yes, yes, and my son, my son wants to go too." The others followed.
When Luo Qingqing heard this, she stopped her steps, "Hehe, ladies and sisters-in-law, I won't accept my apprenticeship now, because it's enough." However, when I have to plant 50 acres of land, I must be short of helpers. When the time comes, if you are willing to go, I will call you to go, five copper plates a day. ”
"Okay, we do."
The villagers scrambled to chase after her, and all kinds of sounds rang in her ears, and her ears were buzzing.
It wasn't until she entered the house and then into the house that she was able to clean up a little.
