All in all, the fruit business is more profitable than the vegetable business. Since he is making money, of course Li Jinshu will not let it go. Otherwise, wouldn't she live up to the plug-in that God gave her?

It happened to be a sunny day suitable for work, so Li Jinshu told Ye this idea. For the golden ideas that popped up in his daughter's head, Ye was no longer surprised. She now has 100% unconditional trust in Jinshu, so she agreed without thinking about it at all.

If you want to grow more vegetables and fruits, the most important thing is the land. Li Jinshu plans to buy all the acres of land around her house, and she also plans to buy the barren mountain behind the house, and use the land to grow vegetables, and the barren mountains are reclaimed to grow fruits.

Buying arable land is naturally a lot of silver, compared to barren mountains are much cheaper, which is also related to the land policy formulated by the Xia monarch. Fertile farmland requires five taels of silver per acre, slightly barren farmland costs three taels, and wasteland and mountains and forests only need one tael of silver.

After buying the land, the rest of the work is to reclaim it. It's a big project, and it requires more manpower. The first thing that Jin Shu considered was naturally the people of the same village. Of course, everyone was very happy to have such an opportunity to make money, so as long as Ye said hello, they immediately agreed.

However, it was not enough for the people in the village, and the Ye family entrusted the people in the village to ask their respective relatives and friends, and if they wanted to come, they could also come. It took a few days to finally get enough people.

Because there were too many people, this time Li Jinshu did not have lunch again, but his salary increased by five cents. There is no opinion on this. After the date was set, the project to reclaim the barren mountains began.

In order to prevent the small animals in the mountains from coming out to harm their own fields, Jinshu also made a high fence with bamboo. Although it can't stop all the animals, it's at least somewhat useful.

Wrap out the wasteland that needs to be reclaimed, and you don't have to worry about other things. However, out of human considerations, she and Ye will still send tea to the mountains several times a day.

Many of the helpers are from other villages, and they don't feel unfamiliar when they work together, and they get acquainted with each other unconsciously. Chatting while working is also a pastime.

"The weather is getting hot, and it is estimated that the Hu people are going to start to be restless again." Someone in the crowd said worriedly.

"I think so. I heard that the Hu people froze to death a lot of cattle and sheep last year, and they can't survive this year, so they will definitely fight our Xia Kingdom's idea when the time comes. ”

"Alas! When the time comes, if there is a real fight, it will be our boss's surname that will suffer. ”

"What can I do? I come every two years, and I'm used to it now. ”

……

It is rare for men to talk about national affairs, and when Jinshu delivers water, they eavesdrop a few words.

After a few days, she also inquired clearly. Originally, Shuzhou, where Ren'an County was located, belonged to the border of the Xia Kingdom, bordering the small country of the Hu people in the north. Although Ren'an County is still some distance from the real border pass, if there is a real war, it is impossible to say what will happen at that time.

The small state of the Hu people was not as strong as the Xia state, and most of them made a living by raising cattle and sheep. This means that if the weather is bad and the cattle and sheep die in large numbers, they will lose their chance to live. Therefore, in this case, they can only risk killing the border pass and plundering food and property from the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

Such frictions have occurred from time to time, but the two countries have hardly fought major battles. The monarch of Xia has always wanted to annihilate the Hu people in one fell swoop, but those Hu people are extremely cunning, and it is not easy to eliminate them all.
