Chapter 108: Planting Grass
After listening to his sister's description quietly, Du Jun inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness.
For the powerlessness of blood relations, no matter how strong the individual is, no matter how high the force value is, he is still a weak person in the blood relationship.
Even if you go back and snatch the Zheng family back, what will happen?
There is also a child there, who is also the bond of the Zheng family.
If you forcibly open it once, how can there be a next time?
Du Jun didn't believe that Zhao Shugui would sell that child, and from the performance of the father and son last time, Du Jun was sure of this.
But thinking of that grandmother Wang, Du Jun has no confidence, if the Wang family is really heartbroken and disposes of that child, the Zheng family will hate her for the rest of her life.
But there's a weird problem in this incident.
Where did the Zhao family's old house come from?
How could he be so coincidental to ask for someone in the few days when he was out?
After Zhao Yan saw that the eldest sister listened, she was silent, and said worriedly: "Sister, with Zhao Xiu following this time, I will definitely not let my mother suffer." ”
Du Jun nodded, "I know, you go back, let me think about it." ”
sent Zhao Yan away and touched his stomach, just now there was a sudden feeling of falling in his abdomen, which scared Du Jun.
Hurriedly lay down to rest, gently slapping his belly.
The child is almost five months old, and I don't know if it's a delusion or a ...... In just these ten days, Du Jun felt that his belly had become much bigger.
It may be that he is tired from running around for several days, and Du Jun, who has no experience in pregnancy, comforts himself.
The child's abnormal movements also reminded Du Jun that force cannot be used now, and there is no suitable way on the Zheng side, so let it be natural first.
The pregnant woman was already sleepy, and after going out for many days, it didn't take long for Du Jun to fall asleep in a daze.
After waking up in the morning, I moved a little, but fortunately, my stomach didn't react.
After the meal, everyone is gathered in the hall to make changes to the next operation of the farm.
With the departure of Zheng and Zhao Xiu, the problem of insufficient manpower on the farm has become even more prominent.
First of all, Tong Bin and Zhao Yan reported the amount of silver on the current books of the farm.
These days, six restaurants and vendors, the daily income of the farm is about 20 taels, and there are still less than 400 taels on the books.
Less than four hundred taels, Du Jun silently calculated, for the time being, it is enough.
Inform Tong Bin that every month, set aside two hundred taels from the account to send to Mingyuan.
Then, confirm the problem of manpower on the farm with the fourth uncle, improve the grandmother of the incubation room internally, temporarily take charge of the chicken farm, and recruit people externally.
Finally, find a suitable dart board and send a batch of beef cattle to Mingyuan Yufu every month.
At the same time, spring ploughing began, and news began to spread in the surrounding area that there were ploughing cattle in Xingwang Farm, which could be rented or sold, and this matter was also explained to the fourth uncle.
As for the female stewards, Du Jun did not make adjustments this time, but just asked them to continue to read and write and do their own things well.
After the meeting, Du Jun began to inspect the farm, and the first batch of chicks has been around for half a month, and now they are growing well.
The second batch of chickens will take a few days to hatch, and the promotion of grandma Zi has repeatedly promised that she will definitely take care of the chicken farm.
Du Jun also looks at his grandmother, who usually talks less, but he is willing to work and has a more flexible brain, so he was promoted this time.
At the same time, let her find a suitable person among the other mothers-in-law and supplement them into the incubation room.
After inspecting the four sites, Du Jun came to the thirty acres of land that was still barren and ready to be planted with grassland.
Anxian County is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and now in mid-March, the wild grass has grown an inch high.
The fourth uncle has been consulting Du Jun, how to deal with this venue? Du Jun didn't give him a response.
The reason is simple.
I don't know!
But Du Jun wanted to take the risk and transplant the grass in the space to this land.
The grass in the space is obviously high-quality pasture, and even if it can't be transplanted, it can feed rabbits and a dozen cattle and sheep by relying on the local natural weeds.
There is not a single person in this land now.
Du Jun looked for a place not far from the water source and transplanted about a cent of space pasture to see if he could adapt to the climate of Anxian County.
The grass in these spaces has a well-developed root system and is closely connected together, just like the current lawn, and when Du Jun took it out, he deliberately made it into small pieces and spread them on the ground.
Lush and green, distinctly different from the sparse weeds of the area.
For a day, Du Jun worked on the land, digging pits, cultivating soil, and watering again.
Fortunately, his physical fitness is good, and at the end of the day, Du Jun is also covered in dust, as if he has rolled in the soil.
There is no way, the origin of these grasses is unknown, and they cannot be borrowed from others, so they can only be transplanted little by little in a stupid way.
Pounding his somewhat sore waist, looking at the grass in front of him that became soft and treadful after it was moved out, Du Jun could only pray in his heart that these grasses could survive.
For the next week, Du Jun would come over every day to water the grass.
After a few days of acclimatization, the grass gradually survived and began to expand outward.
Du Jun's adventure is done!
Called the fourth uncle to come over and pointed to the small piece of grass, "Fourth uncle, find a few short-term workers to clean up the weeds near that meadow, and transport the manure of the livestock on the farm to accumulate fertilizer." ”
It has been observed that this grass likes fertilizer, so that the farm can form an internal circulation, and the grass is fed to rabbits and other food, and the manure is returned to the grass to stimulate its growth.
The fourth uncle was already immune to Du Jun's secret farm, and after receiving Du Jun's order, he went down to arrange manpower.
This week, there is an endless stream of people coming to the farm, some coming to work, and many more to see the cattle.
As Du Jun expected, spring plowing began, and the farmers' requirements for ploughing cattle also increased.
Now the price of a cow is basically set at about ten taels, and there are very few cattle in the market.
Thriving Farm had cattle for sale, which soon attracted attention in nearby villages and towns.
Du Jun's cattle came out of the space, all of them were fat and strong, and the people who came to see the cattle were naturally satisfied.
In a week, eight bulls were sold, and with the increase of influence, the more than 20 bulls in the space were basically sold out.
Du Jun made a rule that only bulls are sold, and if they are leased for a short time, they can be cows, after all, cows can be reproduced and recycled.
The recruitment of this piece is unexpected, not smooth!
Only three people came in a week, and Du Jun was very dissatisfied with this.
No way, there are very few people who can read and write in this era, and Du Jun still asks for younger ones.
These people are either studying in the academy, or they have a good family background and don't care about the monthly money that Du Jun has paid.
Du Jun finally accepted a seventeen-year-old boy, Zhou Mingshen, who planned to use it in the account room and officially start working tomorrow.
