The red deed book is in hand, and at this point, the hill behind the house is Li Qiusui's family.

Li Qiusui heard her father say that it only cost two hundred taels of silver, so a large area, no matter how small the mountain is, there are more than a few hundred acres!

"How can it be so cheap?"

Before Li Sanzhu could speak, Liu Shi glanced at her and said, "You should be two hundred taels of silver, how much grain is enough to buy, how much silver can that barren mountain be worth?" It's not that a few acres of land can be leveled at the foot of the mountain, and I won't let you two fool around...... Look, the real place to spend money is still to come. ”

You just bought it from the mountain, don't you ask someone to open up the wasteland, count on the few people in the family, exhaust people to death, and you have to work until the year of the monkey.

Li Qiusui was thoughtful.

Li Sanzhu reminded: "The imperial court encourages the cultivation of wasteland, not to mention not to pay taxes for three or five years, and even the seeds are distributed for free in the first year, let's not buy the mountain, and the wasteland that we find someone to open up is also our family, just like your mother said, if it weren't for the more than ten acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain, it really wouldn't cost so much silver." ”

It seems that the imperial court attaches great importance to farming, and it treats farmers preferentially, so Li Qiusui can plant her fields with more peace of mind.

The fourth brother is still a little talented in reading, and after two years, he can't really be admitted to Xiucai, and after that, he will take the examination and Jinshi.

The imperial court strictly controlled the merchants, and the merchants, not only ranked last, but also set the rule that the three generations could not be examined.

That is to say, if someone in your family is in business and wants to change his career by studying, he must return to his hometown to farm for three years before you are eligible to take the meritorious examination.

Therefore, Li Qiusui must be more cautious in doing things, and must not cross the line and cut off the future of his family.

As for the pills she sent to Jimintang, they were not resold for profit, nor did they open a large-scale workshop, and they had to go through her hands in every detail, just like the poor people, who had good embroidery skills, and embroidered two square handkerchiefs or screens for some silver, which is a truth.

Compared with business, farming is more important, and the decrees of the imperial court show preferential treatment everywhere.

Home-grown food, vegetables and fruits, whatever you eat at home, or take them out to exchange for money, they are not within the scope of business.

"Dad, are there any fruit trees or tea trees around our village? What kind of fruit trees are they and what is the quality of the tea trees? ”

"Over there in Xiahe Town, there are people who have fruit trees, Ping'an fruits, and citrus. But...... Daughter, this is not the season to transplant fruit trees. As for the tea tree, I heard that there are old tea trees in the mountains, but we have never seen them with our own eyes, and there are also people who grow tea trees, all of which are ordinary varieties. Li Sanzhu guessed a little bit of the little girl's plan and reminded.

"Just ask first, if they are willing to sell, next year, let's buy more and plant on the newly bought hill."

As for whether it will survive or not......

Li Qiusui explained, "I read a lot of books at the Zheng family, so naturally there is a way to keep them alive. Does Daddy know how many years old they are? ”

The Zheng family is really amazing, and they even have books on farming!

Li Sanzhu didn't doubt his daughter's words, "Then, go back and ask someone." ”

Li Sanzhu also agrees with his daughter's idea, that there is no water source for growing crops on the mountain, and in case of drought, it is too difficult to get some water, and the vitality of fruit trees is tenacious, as long as there is a way to deal with pests, there will be some harvest.

Li Qiusui went home for two days and turned around the group instructed by her father.

It's about to be the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Li Sanzhu has to drive a mule cart to pull fruit trees.

Wiping the sweat, she said secretly, this girl can really toss, other people's fruit trees are hanging fruit, she is still worried, she has to get two back and plant them first.

Yes! You can do whatever you say, and if you promise to let you take care of the house, you will let you take care of the house.

The road that the villagers stepped on up the mountain can run mule carts, but the weeds on the hill can be as tall as one person, and the work on the ground is not yet over, and you can't spare people to open up the wasteland, so you have to dig two pits first, even if you plant two trees, you have to dig two pits first.

Li Sanzhu parked the mule cart at the foot of the mountain, standing in his backyard, he could see this side, people coming and going, but he didn't have to worry about who stole it.

Li Sanzhu carried the guy and went to work by himself.

Li Qiusui followed. When I got to the mountain, I marked the planting of fruit trees and asked Li Sanzhu to excavate.

In many places, the weeds are taller than Li Qiusui, and this kind of one can only be cut with a sickle first. When the cutting is finished, a shovel digs down, but it is only a layer on the surface, and the bottom is grass roots, and it is difficult to dig deep without great effort.

In the autumn, make a good separation zone, the weeds can be burned, and now it is too difficult to dig, so I can only plant two trees first.

Li Sanzhu was also entangled by Li Qiusui and had no way, but fortunately, the girl was only allowed to plant two, otherwise, she would not have let her mess around.

It took most of the day, digging two big pits, and catching up with the mule cart over there.

The fruit tree is not very big, just two apple trees, and there is already fruit on them.

When the fruit trees entered the village, many people saw them and gathered around to see the excitement.

Someone asked, "Sanzhu, how can anyone plant fruit trees in this month?" ”

I want to ask that too!

Li Sanzhu looked at Li Qiusui, scurrying around, and regretted that he was messing around with this girl.

Ma Yanzi also came over with people to see the excitement, the two families lived closely, in and out, looking up and not looking down, he had already seen Li Sanzhu unpleasant.

You are not polite when you speak, "I think it is a lot of silver burning, I haven't heard of it, who planted fruit trees in May, it's really bad!" If your two fruit trees survive, I will screw off their heads and give them to you to sit on as stools. ”

I haven't heard of it, there are so many things you haven't heard of!

Li Qiusui had already seen that something was wrong with this person, and looked at her father without saying anything, and the jealous look in her eyes did not hesitate to hide it.

Li Sanzhu was not angry when he heard the crowding, "My family has already bought the mountain, everyone go up the mountain to chop wood, pay attention to your feet, don't trample on the things that my family has just planted." After a while and a half, I can't open the barren, I want to plant two fruit trees first, and I want to take a look at it, left and right, but it takes a little more effort. ”

Li Sanzhu spoke politely, and the people on the hill bought it, and they didn't say that they wouldn't let the villagers go up the mountain to collect firewood, and most of them were grateful, so they all stepped forward and helped plant fruit trees.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ma Yanzi shouted at a sharp voice, "I said Sanzhu, are you full of food and panic, I said that your fruit trees are not alive, didn't you hear it...... And you, people have a lot of money, what are you doing with it! ”

Li Qiusui really wanted to kill this person with a shovel, and I said...... "Who are you?" ”

Ma Yanzi saw that Li Sanzhu's little girl had taken care of him, and deliberately said with a shelf: "I am your fourth uncle, so I moved next door to your house." ”

It turned out to be the youngest son of Mrs. Ma!

In my impression, some villagers compare this with their own uncle.

My grandmother favors my uncle, at most, I will eat more eggs, or a piece of meat, and do less work, and his grandfather will start beating people.

What about this, it is said that it is all too lazy to eat, and the old lady of the horse has to protect it, don't look at the thirty-year-old person, it is still not the same.

"Oh, then you continue to bask in the sun, we are still busy, and when we are free, my father will accompany you to chat!"

This means that he has no eyes!

Don't look at Ma Yanzi, Li Qiusui squeezed people, he understood it at once.
