After the Wu family came back that night, they all surrounded Shen Qingqian and asked long and short questions, and the theme was nothing more than one, afraid that she would suffer.

Shen Qingqian said the conversation with Liang Cheng in a few words, and then said to Shen Xiao: "Big brother, our family should prepare to get our own land, I think the land outside the valley is good, you go and ask tomorrow, can you ask our family for twenty acres of land."

"Twenty acres?" Wu was taken aback, "Could it be too much?"

Shen Qingqian affirmed: "It's not much, we have a lot of family, and we can't support so many people if we plant less."

The Shen family has sixteen large and small families, and if they only rely on the little that they plant for the imperial court, they will definitely not be able to eat enough, and their own land will have more than ten acres.

She wants 20 acres because she has a lot of things in her hand, and she can grow some cash crops when the time comes.

"No, I mean can we be busy, after all, ......" Wu glanced at the family, and didn't dare to think that twenty acres of land was a hundred. Chinese Net

There are only six men in their family, and two of them are not laborers, and one of the four laborers is in the ordnance prison all the year round, and it is impossible for them to come back to help halfway, so there are only three men who can work.

The rest, including Shen Qingqian, there are only eight women, women's strength is naturally inferior to men, and all they need for farm work is physical strength, as long as the Wu family thinks about twenty acres of land to take care of, their scalps will be numb.

Shen Qingqian smiled, "Other people's families are definitely not good, but have you forgotten that the eldest aunt likes to ponder things the most, the previous two are just for the convenience of clearing the wasteland, and recently I have some new ideas, if things are made, twenty acres of land is no problem at all."

The terrain of northern Hubei is complex, but the adjacent water ditch is a plain-like landform, which is most suitable for using equipment to assist farming.

Shen Qingqian will study the "Encyclopedia of Farm Tools" in the research system when he has nothing to do in the past few days, and then split and combine them as needed, and he already has several prototypes of hand-held and hand-pushed new farm tools in his mind.

When she designed the three-tooth harrow and the improved mouldboard plough before, she was not sure whether the world could make it, but now it is certain that with Qin Lao, as long as it is not too out of line, she should be able to do whatever she wants, it is just a matter of difficulty.

For example, the small parts before, she hadn't "discussed" the crucible steelmaking with Qin Lao, and they solved it by themselves using the lost wax method.

In the future, if needed, she will definitely contribute what she knows without hesitation to increase the diversity of agricultural tools in this world.

"Really? Then I'm not worried." As soon as Wu heard this, he immediately had a smile, "Our sister said so, then it must be no problem."

Others also said that as long as Shen Qingqian felt that it was okay, then they would fully support it.

Shen Xiao said: "The sixth sister mentioned it to me before, but I don't see that the other people's families have moved, so I haven't asked yet, I'll ask the other families first, let's just go together."

There's a reason why he wants to pull the others along.

Previously, he heard the people in the courtyard opposite complain, saying that the task given by the imperial court was heavy, and there was no time to get his own land, so ordinary people would just need three or two acres of land, and just plant something to make the family more inputs, and it was impossible to eat enough.

In this case, the Shen family suddenly asked for twenty acres of land to open up the wasteland, which was inevitably a little too eye-catching.

"We also want five acres of land."

At this time, Sheng Ze's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
