"We can't grow food, we can grow others."

Qiao Huaping's eyes burned, "I've seen it, those lands are indeed not suitable for planting our common food crops, but--many herbs can adapt to such soil, and even say that such soil is a unique place to grow certain herbs!" ”

Qiao Huaping's words, some people were thoughtful, and some people were hesitant.

"Lady Qiao, it's not that I question you...... The main thing is that our people who are digging in the field, this does not grow food, and they are panicked; Besides, what kind of herb are you talking about, no one in our Liujin Village has ever grown that thing. It's hard to say. In case something goes wrong at that time, the whole village will drink the northwest wind. ”

Someone said with a sad face.

What he said was reasonable, causing the villagers who shared the same concern to nod their heads again and again.

Qiao Huaping said: "That's right, but I have to settle an account with everyone first." At present, due to the shortage of soldiers, the money is worthless, and the price of grain is higher than usual. According to the price of the famine year, one stone of grain is four taels of silver, and one acre of land is worth twelve taels of silver. Let's escape from the famine in the village, and it is estimated that every family will not settle down and get too much land, and each family will be about two acres at the top of the day. That is, a family can earn twenty-four taels of silver after working for a year. ”

Some villagers were a little dumbfounded when they listened to Qiao Huaping's unthinking report.

Twenty-four taels of silver sounds like a lot, but anyone with a little life experience knows that this has not yet thrown out the chewing of the family, and even, there is the most important tax!

The people of Liujin Village didn't understand what Qiao Huaping was doing to calculate this account, but they continued to listen out of instinctive trust in Qiao Huaping.

Qiao Huaping said again: "However, do you know how much you can earn from planting herbs?" …… For example, in the barren mountains, I have seen that some annual herbs, such as gastrodia, ginseng vine, etc., are all herbs that can be planted in a year to see the benefits, which is suitable for that burnt land. Don't talk about the side, let's just say that the green ginseng vine, between the barren mountains, even if the utilization rate of this land is low, plus everyone planted it for the first time, the loss rate is high, counting the species, one acre of land can harvest at least 100 catties of green ginseng vine! Do you know what the purchase price of a pound of ginseng vine is? A pound of ginseng vines, I inquired in the pharmacy, according to the quality, medium, about 200 yuan a catty. One hundred catties of ginseng vines is enough to earn twenty taels of silver! Two acres of land is forty taels! …… What is it if we don't grow food, we can use this money to buy other people's food, or even buy fields and build big houses! ”

Forty taels of silver!

Hearing this number, the people of Liujin Village suddenly became short of breath!

If others tell them that they can earn forty taels of silver a year, they will definitely laugh at the other party's ability to draw a big pie! But these words came from the mouth of Qiao Huaping!

It was Qiao Niangzi who led them to kill beasts, mountain bandits, and homeless people along the way, and came over after ups and downs!

They subconsciously chose to believe!

Forty taels of silver!

Village Chief Lu is also excited!

But as the village head, he thinks more and can suppress the surging emotions more than ordinary villagers. He couldn't hold back his excitement, and his voice trembled slightly: "Really? Xiao Qiao, the village chief doesn't read much, you really have to believe what you said......"

Qiao Huaping smiled slightly: "Village Chief Lu rest assured, since I dare to say this, I naturally have enough confidence." ”

Even, she made a rough calculation, twenty taels of silver per acre of land, which was already implicitly said by her.

After all, that barren mountain is a wasteland where there is no grass for ordinary crops. But for some herbs, the growing environment is unique.

When Village Chief Lu heard Qiao Huaping's affirmative words, his hands trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Okay!" In that case, let's gather all the people together in the evening and talk about it. ”

He said that it was good to talk about it, but the attitude was actually obvious.

He is willing to believe in Qiao Huaping!

……

Three days later, the three uncultivated wastelands in Yixiang County were almost sorted out, and the boundaries were clearly written on the paperwork.

Liujin Village, Fangjiabao, and another Qinglanba, each of the three villages sent representatives to the county government.

Liujin Village is headed by Qiao Huaping, they went not early or late, when they entered the county yamen, they saw that there was already a group of people in the yamen, and they were talking happily with a person dressed as a scholar.

Qiao Huaping recognized these people, who were the people from Fangjiabao and his party that they had met when they went to the back valley before.

That reckless man Fang Tingjiang was also among them, and when he saw Qiao Huaping's eyes, he glared.

However, he seemed to remember something, his eyes showed a touch of pride, snorted, glanced over, and had a feeling of "I'm in a good mood, I won't be like you".

Qiao Huaping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The proud appearance of this reckless man almost wrote "I am confident that I will be able to take the land I want" on his face.

Qiao Huaping couldn't help but glance at the person who was dressed like a scholar.

Qiao Huaping's five senses have been transformed by spiritual water, which is called a keenness, she looked carefully, and saw that this person's thumb and belly, and the first joint of the middle finger, there are calluses, and at first glance, he is used to holding a pen; In addition, although he did not reveal his identity when he spoke, he also had a posture of self-respecting identity - Qiao Huaping thought of the relationship between the people of Fangjiabao in this township and county government in Yixiang, and guessed the identity of the person who looked like this document almost instantly.

Coupled with a few conversations that came into his ears intermittently, Qiao Huaping confirmed that this should be the master of money and grain.

It's no wonder that the reckless man in Fangjiabao looks like he has a chance to win.

Qiao Huaping sighed in his heart, and also felt a little funny.

"Lady, lady......"

At the curtain on the side of the front hall of the county government, a small head poked out, stretched out a hand, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, and tried to wave it twice towards Qiao Huaping, and his mouth was still calling softly.

If it weren't for Qiao Huaping's deaf ears and eyes, he would have missed it.

Qiao Huaping recognized that it was Mo Qian, the maid beside Sun Shike, and saw her calling her sneakily, so he also picked a gap that no one paid attention to, and walked towards the curtain.

As soon as he walked up, he was pulled into the curtain by Mo Qian's girl.

Sun Shike was standing behind the curtain a little anxiously, and was quite surprised to see that Mo Qian had really brought Qiao Huaping over, but when she thought of something, a cloud of sadness was dyed between her eyebrows, and she lowered her voice: "Sister Qiao, I heard it secretly...... The people over Fangjiabao took the relationship between the master of money and grain, and sent a concubine to my uncle-in-law, and they wanted to give the best piece of land. ”

Sun Shike was obviously in a hurry, "Otherwise, I'll beg my aunt and ask her to ask her uncle to leave the best land to you!" ”
