Chapter 11: The Dream of the Red Chamber (6)
Lanxi's idea is this: the rent per mu is one tael of silver per year, and at the same time, the villagers are hired to work, and the salary is settled according to the salary of one tael of silver per quarter. Lanxi has already calculated, a total of four seasons of rice can be harvested every year, according to 700 catties per mu, you can sell two taels of silver, and your own rice is particularly delicious, so you can sell it for three to four taels of silver, and one mu of land per year is conservatively estimated to be sold for ** two silver, in addition to rent and wages, you can also get three to four taels of silver. In order to improve the enthusiasm of the big guys, Lanxi also proposed that 700 catties per mu should be the bottom line, and five more money should be given for every 10 catties more, so that everyone's enthusiasm should be higher.
There are about 300 acres of land in the whole village, and it is conservatively estimated that the annual income of his family can only be 1,000 taels of silver! This is too tempting for my own small family.
Lan Xi is not afraid that the villagers will not agree, because she has investigated, an ordinary farmer family, per capita has fifteen acres of land, two acres of vegetable land, all of which add up to seventeen acres of land per year rent alone can get seventeen taels of silver, and each family has an average of three to four laborers, so it should not be a problem for a family to get an income of seventy or eighty taels a year, which is much better than going to the town to work for others or be a slave!
Sure enough, after Lan Xi explained this statement in detail to the village chief and all the villagers, many villagers were ready to move.
Due to the limited funds of Wang Gou'er's family, and many people were afraid that their promises would not be fulfilled at that time, Lanxi started the pilot first and rented a family's land, a total of 20 acres of land.
It's the end of another season, and the twenty acres of land are really bumper harvest, because Lanxi has further improved the seeds, so this time the yield per mu has reached 900 catties, and the envious big guys are all red-eyed, and they have asked the Wang family to rent their own land, and even later, the whole county has become the Wang family rice industrial park. Of course, that's all for later!
With so much grain, it is a big problem to sell it. Wang Gou'er patted his chest and took it with all his might. I really didn't expect that Wang Gou'er was really a good businessman, so Lan Xi simply handed over the sales matter to Wang Gou'er. Moreover, Lan Xi doesn't want to turn "Dream of Red Mansions" into a farming article.
It's been almost a year since the last time I went to Rongguo Mansion, and it's not the autumn harvest season again, all kinds of grain and vegetables are bumper harvests, and Lan Xi feels that he should go to Rongguo Mansion again. According to the plot, I should be able to see Baoyu and others this time, so Tongling Baoyu should be able to catch it!
Sitting in a car, with a board, with a car full of vegetables and fruits, Lan Xi hit the road.
The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. The car "purred, purred", and after leaving the village, it gradually walked onto the main road. After walking for about five or six miles, I gradually came across the market. The streets are crowded, there are still a lot of small traders, Lan Xi is a little confused, where should Rongguo Mansion go?
While muttering, seven-year-old Ban'er spoke: "Grandma, I seem to remember going that way." I saw Ban'er pointing to the east.
"What do children know?" pressed the little hand of the board down, and reprimanded it in his mouth.
Bumped into a pedestrian, Lan Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "...... this eldest sister?"
Who knew that the middle-aged woman instantly turned hideous, and scolded: "Who do you call the eldest sister?" Don't look at my old eye-clicking eyes, the folds on my face are about to kill flies, and you call me eldest sister......"
Lan Xi hurriedly apologized, forgetting that she was an old woman now!
It was easy to find a young hawker and ask for directions, only to know that to get to Rongguo Mansion, you need to go east.
Back in the car, Ban'er looked at Lan Xi with disdainful eyes and said, "Grandma, if you listen to me earlier, you don't have to be scolded." ”
Lan Xi was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, there were not many people, and there were a lot of ghosts!
After walking for almost a mile, I gradually saw a big archway, with three big characters "Ningrong Street" on it, which should be here. Pedestrians disappear here, and the streets are wide and tidy. Along this street, Lan Xi gradually saw a magnificent mansion, with gray walls and yellow tiles, a vermilion gate, and two huge stone lions at the door, and a plaque that reads "Ning Guofu".
