"This is thirty taels of silver, and none of us owe anyone anything in the future. You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge. Liu Meiniang put a small burden of silver on the small wooden table, making a "bang" sound.

Wang Dayi crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the small burden, and then glanced at Zhang Jihan who was standing behind, "Okay." ”

After he left with a group of little minions, Liu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law. What do we want to do next? Zhang Dandan asked.

"Naturally, I want to live in a better place." Zhang Jihan raised his eyebrows, "I've lived enough in this thatched house, it's okay to have a sunny day, it's raining on a rainy day, it's raining heavily outside, it's raining lightly inside, and the bedding on the bed is damp, so it's very unpleasant to sleep." ”

Zhang Jihan said as he stretched out to the sun. Dog days had just come out, and the day was still in its prime, but he looked relaxed.

When the debt was paid, he let go.

"Sister-in-law, are we going to live in the courtyard of Sanjin?" Zhang Dandan does not have an accurate concept of money.

She didn't know what the remaining 170 taels could do. I just think that's a lot.

Liu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and pinched the little girl's cheek, "Not yet." ”

"You can't buy the courtyard of Sanjin, and you can still plan for the smaller ones." Zhang Jihan raised his chin, as if he was carrying a huge amount of money.

Zhang Dandan nodded as if he didn't understand.

"There's no rush to change houses for the time being." Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jihan, "Our family doesn't have so much spare money." ”

"How is spare money! This is a serious matter. Zhang Jihan hurriedly spoke.

Now that he has money, he doesn't want to live in this thatched hut for a moment.

"What about the change of rooms? With no money to spare, what do you expect to make ends meet? Liu Meiniang sneered and spoke mercilessly.

Zhang Jihan choked for a moment, "Aren't the fields at the foot of the mountain still growing vegetables?" The dishes of Chunmanlou are still being set. We still have a source of livelihood. ”

This is a point that Liu Meiniang has always been unable to understand, obviously the Zhang family's family is in dire straits, but Zhang Jihan's temperament is the same as that of a rich child. I can't endure any hardships, I don't have any goals, I think about eating and waiting for death all day long, and I have to get by.

"Do you just want to live like that for the rest of your life?" Liu Meiniang stared at Zhang Jihan's eyes tightly and said word by word.

Zhang Jihan's anger weakened in an instant, and it took a while for him to move his lips twice and said, "Naturally, naturally not." ”

People want to go to higher places. He also wanted to sit at home and count the money like Boss Wang.

Identity and status are determined at birth. Just like Zhang Jihan and Boss Wang, it is difficult to make up for the difference between their classes.

In this era, even in an era of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce, the peasants did not get much richer, and most of the resources were still in the hands of merchants and bureaucrats. This is an objective fact.

It is very difficult for a class like theirs to fight step by step.

Zhang Jihan is looking forward to a bright future, but he clearly knows that he can't endure hardship at all.

"That'll do." Liu Meiniang shrugged her shoulders, "As long as you have this willingness to be motivated, you will definitely succeed." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Meiniang suddenly thought of the chicken soup of those successful people on TV before, which is the legendary "success study".

"Sister-in-law, do you have any plans?" Zhang Jihan hesitated for a moment and asked.

Liu Meiniang paused, "Of course." I'm going to buy all the hills in the back mountains. ”

"What?" Zhang Jihan almost wondered if he had heard it wrong, "Buy a mountain?" ”

He has only heard of buying a house and land when he is so old, and it is the first time he has heard of buying a mountain.

Liu Meiniang nodded, still looking very calm on the surface.

"No, buy a mountain. So big a mountain. Zhang Jihan's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand and nodded in the direction of the back mountain, because he was too shocked and a little incoherent, "The mountain is so big, how much does it cost?" ”

Liu Meiniang stretched out her hand and compared one to five, "One hundred and fifty taels." ”

Zhang Jihan stretched out his hand and scratched his head, opening his mouth to say something. wanted to refute Liu Meiniang's idea, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

The money in this family is earned by his sister-in-law alone, and the family is supported by Liu Meiniang. To some extent, the only person who has the right to dispose of this money is Liu Meiniang. What is she going to do, no one else has the confidence to refute.

Zhang Jihan only felt that this plan was very unreliable. He walked back and forth in front of Liu Meiniang with his waist crossed, almost dizzying Liu Meiniang's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't say it. This backmountain is really useless. If we hadn't been taken up a long time ago, where would we have our turn? Right? Zhang Jihan looked embarrassed.

Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and motioned for the other party to continue.

"You see, the mountain behind it is not too high. However, the terrain of the mountain is relatively steep. There is not even a way to go up, let alone find a piece of flat land, how can you grow crops in such a place? Zhang Jihan slapped the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand a few times, frowning, "In comparison, farming in the mountains is even more insecure than farming at the foot of the mountain." ”

The more Zhang Jihan spoke, the more he felt that his ideas were reasonable, and he became more confident, "Sister-in-law, although we all want to go up, we must also be in line with reality, right?" ”

Zhang Dandan nodded like a little adult when he heard this, "Yes." ”

Because of the inconvenient transportation, the information in ancient times was relatively closed. It is not uncommon to grow crops in the mountains, such as terraced fields. In later generations, it also became a tourist attraction in some places.

However, this is not the case here in Liuhe Village.

The village of Liuhe sits on the edge of a small plain formed by the confluence of two rivers and the accumulation of sediment, backed by hills and mountains. Therefore, if possible, crops will be planted on the plains as much as possible, and no one will think of planting rice in the mountains. It's not like Shu or other places, there will be terraces.

If you want to talk about how the terraces are formed, it is also dug up little by little. As long as Liu Meiniang wants to, it is not impossible, not to mention that there are small streams in the back mountains, and it will be very convenient to irrigate the fields. But the cost of doing that is really too high, and the Zhang family can't afford it now.

"Who said I was going to plant crops?" Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jihan inexplicably.

"Huh? What kind of what? Zhang Jihan was stunned.

Liu Meiniang paused, "Let's plant longan, lychees, and pears." ”

Zhang Jihan was silent, and his brows furrowed. He was pondering the feasibility of this option.

At the top of the food tower are fruits, which are also more expensive. Zhang Jihan thought that maybe not so many people would buy these fruits, so there would be no profit.

"Some fruit trees are also on the side of the road." Zhang Jihan said tentatively.

Liu Meiniang was noncommittal, "Yes." But have you ever tasted it? Not every fruit tree bears good food, and there is no one to manage it, and many of them rot. ”

"That's right." Zhang Jihan nodded.

"These longans and lychees are very common in our place, but they can't be grown anywhere else. The orange is orange in the south of Huai, and the orange is orange in the north of Huai. Do you understand? Liu Meiniang laughed.

Zhang Jihan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened, he didn't expect Liu Meiniang to have such a long-term plan, "Sister-in-law wants to sell things far away?" ”

Liu Meiniang thought to herself, what happened to selling fruits across provinces, in her era, let alone across provinces, it was common to transport them from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere of the earth.

That is, the problem of cultural precipitation, and some people's ideas in ancient times and even in modern times are more conservative. He has a calm temperament and wants to live a down-to-earth and stable life. Basically, I don't take any chances.

This is especially true in such a small, closed village.

Even if there are merchants who make a lot of money because of long-distance trafficking of goods, most people will still guard their own one-third of an acre of land and live their duty.

Liu Meiniang's idea, looking at it here, is indeed very advanced.

"That's right. Have you ever heard the origin of 'riding a red dust concubine laughing'? Liu Meiniang blinked.

"Of course." Zhang Jihan nodded.

"We're going to be the biggest supplier." Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows, "Let's buy the mountain first." I have calculated that there are almost more than 180 acres of land. We can build an orchard on top of it, and then have people take care of the trees. According to local conditions, it is guaranteed that this business can be prosperous. Liu Meiniang said her ambitions unabashedly.

Of course, I don't stop there. This is definitely not a simple orchard, we can also raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the orchard. Let the poultry catch insects, the feed is mixed with fruits, and the poultry is healthier. Poultry manure is then used to enrich the land and grow crops. This creates a virtuous circle. Liu Meiniang stretched out her hand and gestured.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, scientifically manage and plant fruit trees, and develop ecological breeding.

Now due to the lack of financial resources, if she can, she will definitely contract these special fruit trees and make them a monopoly as much as possible. Then use some marketing methods to make publicity and attract more distributors...... In that case, the price is all up to you.

Somehow, Zhang Jihan listened to Liu Meiniang's words, and his confidence increased greatly, and he really felt that he could do a great job.

"Good. Let's do it! Zhang Jihan shouted, which can be regarded as emboldening himself.

Several of them folded their hands together and pressed them down hard.
