Chapter 281: Taking over the Fence Farm

Lu Yuhong's study at Anzhou Academy is not just as simple as it seems, he also has a task - to help Chu Lan find the Nine Emperor Princes.

Because according to various clues before, if the Nine Emperor Princes were alive, they should be in the Jiangnan area.

"The reversal of the Xu Guogong case is by no means a coincidence, and there must be someone behind it, but it is not clear who did it." Chu Lan asserted.

Originally, the emperor never forgot the late Empress Xu, and once the case of Xu Guogong was overturned, if the Nine Emperors were still alive, the result could be imagined, and the situation in the court would inevitably change dramatically.

"Hey, I don't understand these anyway, if you ask me to find it, I'll help you find it, and I don't care about the rest." Lu Yuhong waved his hand, he didn't want to think about such a brain-consuming thing at all.

"Hmm." Chu Lan naturally knew that Lu Yuhong would not be able to listen to this.

It was precisely because he didn't care about these things that he was willing to tell him.

In his position, it is difficult to have someone around who can know and trust......

Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in Chu Lan's mind.

That afternoon, he sat with him in the courtyard of the farmstead basking in the sun and drinking the secret tea that he had only made there.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan exchanged for the attendant of the tea house: "Do you have winter melon tea here?"

The attendant shook his head blankly, not knowing what winter melon tea was.

Chu Lan was a little disappointed: "Stand down."

Lu Yuhong came to the end: "Winter melon tea? What is that? Does it taste good?"

Lu Yuhong's interest in food is much higher than his interest in court disputes.

"It's delicious, but you can't drink it anywhere else." Chu Lan said.

"Where can we drink it, let's drink it!" Lu Yuhong is full of curiosity about things he has not tasted.

"Wait until you have the chance, that place is not something you can go to if you want to." Chu Lan said.

"Is there still a place in this state capital where your Seventh Prince wants to go but can't?" Lu Yuhong said suspiciously.

"Hmm. Yes." After speaking, Chu Lan's gaze moved to the window, looking at Donghu thoughtfully.

It's not hard to get into that place, but it's hard to be invited in a welcome way.

The government was in full swing, and Wei Ruo himself was not idle.

Wei Ruo, the Zhuangzi who favored Fei Tong's judgment that day, asked Xu Zhushan to come forward and buy it.

Fei Tong was judged to be an elegant one, and named his Zhuangzi Cai Fence Farm.

Wei Ruo felt that the name was good, so he didn't change it, and by the way, he also gave his original Zhuangzi a matching name: Younan Farm.

This Zhuangzi Mrs. Yuan also had a name before giving it to her, and it was called Yuan's Farm, so she removed the plaque when she handed it over to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo was also lazy, and he didn't give a new name after he became the owner.

This time, thanks to the blessing of this second Zhuangzi, he got a decent name.

In this way, Wei Ruo has a total of three farms in Taizhou Prefecture, Xiaoyangshan Farm in Xingshan County, Younan Farm covering an area of 2,000 mu (1,000 mu of fertile land donated by Mrs. Yuan, and 1,000 mu of land was subsequently purchased and expanded), and the fence farm of 1,000 mu of land just purchased.

Ninety percent of Xiaoyangshan Farm has many kinds of sweet potatoes, and the harvest of sweet potatoes in the mountains last year was very impressive, and as long as the harvest is normal this year, it is not a problem for sweet potatoes to fill several warehouses, and a large number of sweet potato additional products can be produced. ….

The original 1,000 acres of fertile land in Younan Farm were rectified and topdressed after the wheat was harvested this year, and the 1,000 acres of land purchased after the purchase were relatively barren, Wei Ruo spent a period of time to improve the topdressing, and now it can be planted. Eighty percent of the two thousand acres of land are now planted with rice, and the remaining two percent are waiting for Wei Ruo's taro planting.

Wei Ruo already has a general understanding of the situation of the fence farm that he just purchased, the soil fertility is not enough, and a lot of seedlings have frozen to death this year, which needs to be adjusted and arranged by Wei Ruo.

In addition, Wei Ruo has a sandy land in Baima Village, next door to Stone Village, and now the people from Stone Village are helping her grow sandy sweet potatoes.

Wei Ruo now has more land than the school captain's mansion, I don't know how much, if the Yun family knows that her daughter has this outside

There are so many fields, I don't know if my jaw will drop in shock.

Wei Qingwan always felt that if Wei wanted to compete with her for favor, if she knew that Wei Ruo didn't need the Wei family's favor at all, she didn't know how she would feel.

After Wei Ruo took over the Fence Farm, he met with the person in charge of the farm.

Wei Ruo came as Xu Heyou, and the owner of the farm was Xu Zhushan, so the people in the Zhuangzi naturally thought that she was their young owner.

Wei Ruo checked Zhuangzi's account books, and there were indeed a lot of questions, but they were all known to Wei Ruo before, so there was no surprise.

The farms are full of tenants, and according to the original regulations, tenants have to pay 100 catties of rent per mu every year.

In previous years, when the harvest was good, one mu could produce three or four hundred catties of rice a year, pay a hundred rents, and the rest was enough for the tenants to eat and dress for a year.

However, since the beginning of the previous year, the harvest has dropped sharply, and last year's yield per mu was less than 200 catties.

This year, a wave of cold wave froze most of Benzai's seedlings to death, causing gloom and gloom on the farm.

After Wei Ruo inspected the situation after reading the account books, he directly ordered to go down: "I understand the situation, you order to go down and let the tenants shovel all the seedlings in the Zhuangzi."

Hearing this, the steward of the Fence Farm directly widened his eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

Steward Zhao of Caili Farm is much younger than Steward Yu, and he looks like he is in his thirties, in the prime of life, with a big beard, tall and burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looks like he is not lacking in strength.

"Young owner, this can't work! This is absolutely a no-no! The remaining seedlings are the only hope left for farmers this year! It's all pulled out, and everyone has no way to live! I'm going to starve to death!" Steward Zhao hurriedly dissuaded.

"Do so, if you do what I say, if you can't let everyone have enough to eat this year, I will pay out of my own pocket and send 200 catties of rice and 200 catties of noodles to every family." Wei Ruo didn't talk nonsense and directly gave her promise.

At this moment, Steward Zhao was stunned, and a pair of eyes that were not too big were round.

The proprietor in front of them is already a very benevolent person, and the annual meeting of the unpaid will give everyone free rent, but they have not heard of the proprietor who wants to send food to the tenants, which is simply unheard of!

"Or do you think these leftover seedlings will allow farmers to grow enough food for next year?" Wei Ruo asked.

Steward Zhao shook his head again and again.

"You can't just do what I say, my Younan Farm is not far from you, I don't know if you have heard about the wheat harvest on my farm before, if not, you can go to the granary over there another day and see how much wheat is in it."
