Chapter 91: Farewell to Relatives
Patriarch Feng may have heard that Li Miao only received those with meritorious reputation. So he went home and changed into a Xiucai and famous uniform, this Feng patriarch is also a good person, Li Miao didn't have a good influence on him, or he wouldn't have seen him two days ago. But it's not annoying.
More than a year ago, after Li Miaomaoshan enlightened, he came to Fengzhuang, the homestead of his previous life, because he lived in Fengzhuang for more than 20 years in later generations, and his feelings were deep, so he waved his hand and was ready to buy thirty or fifty acres of land around the homestead. But the patriarch of Feng Zhuang was a personal elite bargain with Li Miao, and as a result, three hundred and three acres of land were created.
It happened to be Li Miao's auspicious number, so Li Miao bought the entire land without saying a word. It is only stated in the contract that the land is still cultivated and cultivated. I helped a local tenant with a hand. You said that Li Miao was a foreigner at that time, and he had no fame or status, so who would you slaughter?
Besides, talk about business, one is willing to slaughter and the other is willing to suffer. Patriarch Feng's name is Feng Laibao, and he is also a person like his name. At the age of nearly fifty, he has long given up the idea of fame, and is dedicated to wealth and affairs. It is said that there is also a lot of industry in Jintan City. In the first half of the year, Li Miao was famous in the examination, and Patriarch Feng made a special trip to visit him, wanting to resolve the unhappiness in Li Miao's heart.
Everyone has a profit-seeking nature, in fact, Li Miao feels that Patriarch Feng's approach is also normal. At that time, Li Miao still felt that Patriarch Feng was suppressed by his talent and fame. didn't know that he had already made a name for himself. It seems that Patriarch Feng is still sleek. Do business and make money, try not to make enemies.
Now that Li Miao is already a person, Patriarch Feng is thinking about getting closer to Li Miao. After the two sat down, Patriarch Feng explained his intention and asked for a rent increase for the land purchased by Li Miao in Fengzhuang, but of course Li Miao refused, and Feng Zhuang was also his neighbor. Feng Laibao also saw that Li Miao had already put this matter down.
So, Feng Laibao proposed to buy high-quality seeds from Li Miao Village. After all, now the seeds in Li Miao's village have been bought by the surrounding villages, and it is estimated that Patriarch Feng will have to wait until the year after tomorrow if he wants to buy them. Now in Jintan, everyone who is well-informed knows that next year the county public field will try to plant high-quality seeds.
Feng Laibao knew that Li Miao's village had already planted it this year, and it had a bumper harvest. Li Miao saw that someone came to the door to ask for seeds, of course he would not refuse. There are also a lot of wheat and rice seeds in his inner space. Patriarch Feng also helped him speed up the promotion of seeds. Together, it is beneficial for both parties, and Li Miao will not be unable to get along with luck.
Li Miao told Patriarch Feng that he helped the county buy a batch of high-quality seeds last time, and now there are still some seeds in the Jinling Wharf warehouse. So the atmosphere between the two sides is quite harmonious. At this time, the autumn harvest in the village has been completed, and the yield of rice has reached more than 800 catties per mu, an increase of more than 300 catties. Far more than expected.
The villagers were pleasantly surprised. There was an endless stream of people coming to the village to buy rice seeds, and every household was sold out except for next year's seeds. This is sold at the price of seeds, who is willing to keep it for themselves? Food had to be purchased from people in neighboring villages.
Grain seeds sold. It's barely enough for the township to plant next year. It seems that seed promotion is also a slow process. It is estimated that it will be good to spread out in the south in ten years. During this period, the county yamen also sent special personnel to come down to count. Next year, the prefecture will also try to plant new varieties in the public fields. See the statistical results. It is estimated that Wang Xianling will definitely be very happy, so excited that he can't sleep for a few nights.
These have nothing to do with Li Miao now. He was feeling his luck increase. Although it is not a lot, he can definitely increase the yield of crops, help farmers increase their income, and be able to obtain luck. When he arrives in the capital, he will gradually promote the high-yielding crops of the north. It was the peasants of the north who needed his help even more. It shows that he is now on the right path. So full of pride.
The Li Mansion that Li Qiang now manages is in good order. Under Wang Yonggui's co-ordination, the Li family rules were revised. The new house rules are more reasonable and more adapted to this era. The house slaves have long since returned to their hearts and are living an unimaginably happy life.
Sometimes they even think, this slave is doing too well, right? The children, in particular, have a good future, some are advancing in the school, and some are practicing martial arts in the village guard. Some of the daughters serve their masters in the backyard. Some of them are doing chores in front, and the Li Mansion really has a taste of doing their best.
Even the original several official slaves. I also volunteered to go to the Jinling shop to study the will. They found that in the Li Mansion, as long as you have the ability, the owner still dares to use you. In this short period of two months, nearly ten slaves were sent to Jinling.
Some students are willing, and some are guards. There were more than a dozen domestic slaves who were married. Some are young boys and girls, some are mule husbands and widows, these are the sources of the first generation of children in the Li Mansion.
This era is not good for women. A woman's dowry was protected by imperial decrees and clan rules. Ke'er had a rich dowry, and she accepted these properties, granges, etc. before she got married, so it was also easy to take care of these properties after passing the door. Ke'er has a rich dowry and is an eldest woman, so she has a very high status in the Li Mansion, and her grandmother and mother may be able to suppress her.
This is also the natural advantage of feudal patriarchy. Before parting, Ke'er handed over the 100,000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box to Li Miao. Li Miao also accepted it gladly, except for leaving 10,000 taels of silver tickets for her for emergencies, the remaining 90,000 taels of silver tickets of course smiled and accepted, and the money spent is yours and valuable.
Now grandma is in charge of two noodle restaurants in the town and Changzhou Mansion, oh no, three noodle restaurants. Changzhou Mansion opened a second branch, and the son of Liu Da's shopkeeper served as the shopkeeper, and he also earned 500 taels of silver a month in the past few months. Now my grandmother is also wealthy, and the village has a bumper harvest this year. The old lady just smiled, and then she had more silver. It's just a family slave.
Before parting, grandma also gave Li Miao a hard fortress of silver. The poor are rich! When Li Miao took out the 90,000 taels of silver tickets given by Ke'er. Thinking about it now, the old lady's expression at that time didn't know whether it was joy or loss. Maybe it's a bit of both.
When parting, Li Miao gave Xiao Min five thousand taels of silver tickets each in front of everyone. Let them do it themselves. After all, she is pregnant, and she doesn't have any silver to defend herself, so Li Miao is not very relieved. It's not a matter of always waiting for grandma and Ke'er to give alms, but fortunately, grandma and Ke'er are also atmospheric. Nothing unpleasant.
Li Miao gave a silver ticket to Xiao Min in public. It also has deep meaning. Give them privately. There may also be some effects, but Li Miao let his family know on the one hand. His emphasis on the big and small mins. After that, they had their own money. No need to hide it anymore. Grandma and mother take good care of them, but what about Ke'er? A woman's mind, don't guess. Sometimes Li Miao really didn't know what she was thinking.
So he showed kindness in public, that is, to show his attitude. You have to endure even if you are dissatisfied, I can spoil you, but everyone has to abide by the rules, otherwise this house will be restless. Zhang Min didn't have time to think so much at this time, and he only had gratitude in his heart. As a result, the tears flowed more and more. Even when Childe left is vague.
