Chapter 164: The Rest of the Money to Buy Land?
"Yue'er, what are you going to do when you bring this home?" Yao Wanming asked the point, Yao Xinyue would not ask the master of the Xu family for something for no reason, since she brought it back, there must be a reason.
Yao Xinyue nodded: "Well, these are what I asked Master Xu to do seeding." ”
"Seeding?" Everyone looked at each other, and Jiang asked, "Yue'er, do you want to plant this?" ”
Yao Xinyue nodded, "These peppers are seeded, at most enough to plant two acres of land, don't we still have five acres of land now, two acres of empty to plant this, Master Xu said, as long as our family grows it, he will collect as much as he wants, so don't be afraid that he won't be able to sell it." ”
"But none of us have ever seen this, how is this?" Jiang asked again.
Yao Xinyue thought about it, as if the cultivation method of peppers and eggplants was similar.
"Eggplant, auntie, don't we grow eggplant, this pepper is the same as eggplant, just like planting eggplant, in fact, the two of them look quite similar, and their growth habits are similar."
Jiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I thought it would be difficult, if this is the same as eggplant, it will be easy to do, so many, all planted?" ”
Yao Xinyue nodded.
Jiang Shi glanced at Yao Wanming, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he knew that this was a tacit acquiescence, so he nodded and said, "I know, I'll come to the seedlings tomorrow, then we will plant less wheat this year." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Shi sighed slightly and said: "Our family now has a total of five acres of land, and when it comes to the autumn harvest, I am afraid that this person's tax will not be enough to pay, and it seems that it is not possible to take grain this year." ”
At the mention of this, everyone became silent, after all, the family used to have land, but it was sold.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, as long as Jing Xun passes the exam next month and has a talent on his body, our family's taxes will be reduced by half, even if there is not enough food at that time, Yue'er Gang also said that the Xu family will collect all the peppers planted here, and the big deal will be to pay taxes with the money from selling peppers, the same." Su Wenli said with relief.
Jiang nodded: "That's the only way." ”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Yao Xinyue suddenly spoke: "Grandpa, is there still a lot of money to buy an ox cart, or let's buy land with the rest of the money?" "If you want to get rich, you have to buy land first.
There are nearly sixty taels of silver in the family now, even if they want to leave twenty taels to be prepared for Yao Jinglan and Yao Jingshu to redeem themselves, there are still forty taels left, and it will cost at most ten taels to buy an ox cart, and the remaining thirty taels will be used to buy land, according to the current price, the upper land can buy three acres and more, and the medium land is enough to buy five acres, which is not a lot.
"What do you think?" Yao Wanming asked the others.
The Li family definitely has no opinion, no one will think that there is more land in the family, let alone the third room, all the things that Yao Xinyue is doing now are for the sake of the family's life to get better and better, and now I only look at the big house.
The division of labor at home can now be said to be clear, Yao Hai and his family are responsible for setting up stalls, Su Wenli didn't let her go to the ground when Yao Hui was still there, even if she goes to the ground now, she can't do much work, not to mention that there are two small ones at home for her to take care of, and the entire third room is Yao Xinyue is barely a laborer, or a half-hung laborer.
Therefore, the work in the field is basically all on the body of the big house, in fact, there are only three people: Yao Shun and Yao Jingyu.
