Chapter 612: Ploughing

After Liu Hu finished speaking, he glanced at the third master with some concern.

After all, this more than 100 acres of land is not something that can be found casually.

Hearing Liu Hu say this, Ning Laosan waved his hand.

"It's just more than 100 acres of land, I bought a few farms before, in addition to planting sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, there is still a lot of land left unplanted!

It is just used to grow cotton, so it is guaranteed that there will be no land to plant. ”

Before, Ning Laosan asked the Wang family to buy Zhuangzi, only to find that this side of Saibei, because of the bitter cold, can be said to be sparsely populated.

It's just that most of the land here is not very good for growing things.

The two Zhuangzi bought by the Wang family, each with more than 500 acres of land.

However, so much land, at least more than 200 acres, has gradually become barren because no one has planted it.

Wang Shi was not in the mansion during this time, but stayed at Zhuangzi's side.

In addition to buying the subordinates in the Zhuangzi, she also hired people from the villages near the Zhuangzi to do long-term work and plough and fertilize the fields in the Zhuangzi.

Working for a day and giving fifteen yuan is like giving money for nothing to the people in the village.

After all, the family's field is so small, and the wheat harvest is not much.

Therefore, most of the people have planted high-yield crops that have been planted by the imperial court in Saibei in recent years.

Once these species are planted, they don't have to work hard to manage.

It's just that because there are more of these crops, they are not very valuable.

Therefore, when they heard that the nearby Zhuangzi was willing to spend fifteen copper coins to hire someone to work, they naturally came to sign up.

However, Wang Shi did not agree to this kind of person who came to her in private.

Instead, I went to Lizheng in the village and asked people in the village who were interested in coming to work in Zhuangzi to sign up for Lizheng.

This is mainly to prevent these people who come to work from making bad things, and it is different when you come forward.

There is a guarantee from Lizheng, if there is something wrong with anyone in these long-term workers, Wang will not look for others, but will find Lizheng.

She made it clear to Li Zheng that if one person in his village had something to do, the whole village would be responsible.

Even for the sake of the whole village, Li Zheng will not choose bad people to work in her village.

In fact, although the people who went to work in the Zhuangzi were apprehensive at first, they worked hard for the fifteen copper coins a day.

In half a month, more than 300 acres of land in each of the two villages were plowed down.

One hundred acres of land were planted with wheat, and the other two hundred acres were planted with sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.

Although the two Zhuangzi each had 200 acres of land left unplanted, the Wang family also paid these people half a month's salary first.

The money was sent by Li Zheng on his behalf, and each of them looked at the two hundred and twenty-five copper coins they got in their hands, and they were so excited that they died.

People in the village may not be able to earn so much money all year round.

Now, after only fifteen days of work in Zhuangzi, how can you not be excited to get so much money?

The most important thing is that there are still fields in the Zhuangzi that have not been ploughed!

As long as they are willing to put in the effort, they can still make a lot of money.

Therefore, in the following days, the remaining fields in the Zhuangzi were quickly ploughed.

Now that Ning Laosan heard what Liu Hu said, he still had to apply bottom fertilizer, so he asked Wang to find the villagers near the Zhuangzi again, collect bottom fertilizer and raise the land.

When the cotton seeds are ready, sprinkle them in the ground where the bottom fertilizer has been applied.

Then it was just like planting vegetables in the winter in Dahuaishu Village, with a straw curtain and a charcoal fire.

The temperature in the shed was at least ten degrees different from the outside, so the cotton seedlings quickly emerged.

Because of the fertilization applied to the ground, the cotton seedlings that grow are very stout and easy to grow at a glance.

Of course, by the time the cotton seedlings were almost able to move, the temperature outside was much higher.

In this case, if the cotton seedlings are transplanted, the seedlings will not freeze due to the temperature.

Although the villagers next door to Zhuangzi helped transplant the cotton seedlings, they didn't know what the transplanted was, only what kind of vegetable seedlings they were.

Liu Hu was very surprised when he saw the transplanted cotton seedlings.

After all, in the Zhuangzi on the other side of Nanyue Prefecture, they also planted according to the orders of the county lord.

But the seedlings are very different from the seedlings here, and at first glance, the seedlings in the Saibei Zhuangzi are good.

Therefore, they were supposed to wait for the cotton seedlings to be transplanted, and then the group would go back.

However, because of this reason, Liu Hu squatted directly in the Zhuangzi here, not wanting to go back.

He has to stay here and take a good look, what is the big difference between the yield per mu of such cotton seedlings and that of Nanyue Province?

It's just that Liu Hu wants to stay in Saibei, but Ning Laosi can't stay in Saibei all the time.

After all, his fleet still needs him!

Ning Laosi wants to go back, and Ning Mian'er naturally has to follow.

During this time, she followed the fourth uncle, but she learned a lot.

It's just that when they came to Saibei before, there were people who were chasing and killing, and I don't know if those people will follow when they go back.

Thinking of the fact that he had followed the fourth uncle to hide in Tibet before, he was dirty and stinky, and Ning Mian'er's heart was extremely refusal.

But it's better to be dirty, stinking and smoky than dead.

For Ning Mian'er's thoughts, Ning Laosi didn't know at first.

It's just that seeing her sad face for a few days, I couldn't help but ask, and when I learned of her worry, I couldn't help laughing.

"Mian'er, why are you so stupid?

You don't want to think about it, what are those people chasing us for? ”

Ning Mian'er was stunned, and then replied.

"Naturally, it's to prevent us from sending cotton seeds to the third uncle."

Hearing Ning Mian'er say this, Ning Laosi asked with a smile.

"Now that you know, the cotton seeds have not been sent to your third uncle.

Not only did it go to your third uncle, but it was already planted! ”

When Ning Mian'er heard this, she immediately reacted.

That's right, these cotton seeds have already been sent to the third uncle, and they have been planted, so it naturally makes no sense for those people to hunt them down again!

"It's Mian'er who is too worried!"

After figuring it out, Ning Mian'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After putting her mind at ease, she immediately remembered that after sending cotton seeds to Saibei last time, she bought the goods and brought them back, but she earned a lot of silver!

Since there is no danger of going back, this matter of purchasing goods naturally has to be done.

There was no fourth uncle here before, so she could only ask the third uncle for help.

Now that the fourth uncle is here, the third uncle not only has to be busy with business, but also has to go to the Zhuangzi to check.

Therefore, Ning Mian'er directly pulled Ning Laosi and ran around the northern city.

Compared with last time, this time Ning Mian'er has the support of Ning Laosi, and it is more than double the goods purchased last time.

Anyway, the capital also has Ning Laosi, and he is not afraid of running out of money.

When it was time to set off, looking at the large string of carriages following behind him, the corners of Ning Laosi's mouth couldn't help but twitch a little.

Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
