Early the next morning, Mingjing went and called Mingrun to go to the medicine field. On the way, Mingrun couldn't help but ask: "Did you really buy more than 20 acres of land in one go?" ”

"Well, I was a little bit of a fever at the time." In fact, there is nothing in the medicine field alone, and you can earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver when you change hands. This was suppressed by Uncle Huang's face. However, the herbs and herbs that have not yet been harvested are a bit mysterious. If something happens, she's going to cry. However, it is true that growing medicine is more profitable than growing grain and farming. The income per mu must be two to three times that of grain and crop land. This depends on the purchase price of the medicinal materials and the maturity period to be discussed in detail. However, the requirements for soil quality in the medicine field are relatively high.

"Little owner, you're here-" There were a total of four hired workers, and after the people of the Du family left, they were faintly headed by Ye Laosan, who was forty miles away in front of him.

"Yes, this is my cousin Feng Mingrun, a local child."

"It turned out to be Young Master Mingrun, I heard that your Feng family is a big surname in Qingxi Village, and even Li Zheng is surnamed Feng." Ye Laosan asked casually while leading them to the medicine field.

They thought it was the medicine field that Huang Ye bought yesterday, but few people dared to bid if they didn't see it. As a result, I later heard that the owner was the beautiful little girl who came with him. Naturally, I want to inquire about the origin of the new owner.

Mingrun said with a smile: "Yes, more than forty percent of the people in this village are surnamed Feng. My ninth uncle is also your owner, and he is still a dignified master, and he used to teach in the county school palace. ”

This is the role of the family, if this medicine field is not in Qingxi Village, Mingjing really doesn't dare to eat it all. In this way, if Ye Laosan and the others dare to do anything, they must be mentally prepared to go against more than forty percent of the villagers. Unless they're going to do it, they won't be here to mess around. However, this can only ensure that the general surface will not be lost, and if they do it in detail, they can't see it clearly, it will be in vain.

"After a while, will there be two or three acres of forsythia and cassia seeds that should be harvested?"

Ye Laosan said: "Yes, the little proprietor is right. I heard that the little proprietor collects medicine to support his family, and he really knows how to do it. ”

Mingjing smiled, "I collect medicine in the mountains, and I seem to earn more than you earn as a hired hand for others to tending to the medicine fields." "The treatment of these four people is food and housing, Ye Laosan is twenty-four taels a year, and the other three are eighteen taels a year. Coupled with food, the labor cost is almost nine taels a month. And Mingjing can earn four taels of silver by picking medicine alone.

She estimated yesterday that some of the more than 20 acres of medicinal fields are harvested every year, and some are ripe every two or even three or four years. The output is about 200 taels a year, and there are still 100 taels after the expenses are removed. Taxes can be saved here by more than ten taels.

Ye Laosan said: "Little owner, a small amount of medicinal materials are not marketable to ordinary people. So we don't dare to go it alone even if we recognize the herbs. Besides, how can the wild herbs in the mountains be harvested all year round? And," he said after a pause, and said clearly, "it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”

"And if the medicine field encounters insect infestation or God doesn't give food, or even artificially set fire, flood or something, there may be no harvest at all. A year's or even a few years of hard work are in vain. Therefore, people who are idle do not dare to eat such a large medicine field. As for us, we rely on labor to ensure the harvest in drought and flood. It doesn't cost money to eat and live, and you can save all the money you earn and send it home. ”
