The Jiang family's cotton harvest is finally finished.

Zhao Da's child was also completely healed, Jiang Sanlang was very satisfied with Zhao Da's helper, gave him a handful of gourd seeds, and asked him if he was willing to continue to stay and work, after all, thousands of catties of cotton still have to peel cotton seeds, and there are many things.

Zhao Da originally wanted to stay, but now is the busy season of farming, the beans and rice at home have to be harvested, and after harvesting, he has to turn over the land and plant wheat.

Jiang Saburo knew his embarrassment and did not force it.

In the following days, the adults and children of the Jiang family went into battle and began to peel cottonseeds.

Chun Niang and the two concubines used a spinning wheel to spin threads and prepare to weave cloth in winter.

It didn't take long for the county magistrate Wu Shi to come.

He was accompanied by Mr. Liao, two scribes, and more than a dozen officials.

The arrival of the county order made the entire East and West Chen Village a sensation, and Sun Lizheng and Chen Sanyou, the patriarch of Chen, and the village officials of several surrounding villages accompanied the whole process.

One of the most exciting is Sakuraho.

"Uncle Wu, you're finally here, come and see the big gourd I left for you."

Ying Bao dragged Wu Shi's sleeve and led him to his own hall, only to see three extremely large gourds in two large frames against the wall.

Wu Shi was also surprised.

To be honest, he had never seen such a huge gourd.

But I was surprised, I didn't seem to have told this little girl that I liked gourds.

I don't know where this little girl learned that she likes this thing, and she insists on giving it to him, alas, it's really helpless.

Ying Bao said proudly: "Uncle Wu, look at the gourd I planted, when you go back, take two back." ”

Wu Shi smiled, "How can I take your things for nothing, it's better to make a price, and I'll pay for it." ”

"No, no, this is not worth much." When Sakura Po said this against his will, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Quan hiding behind him.

Patriarch Chen also smiled and agreed: "There are many such gourds in our village, so don't shirk Mingfu, it's just a little bit of a child's heart." ”

Sun Li, who was standing next to him, glanced at him, wondering in his heart whether Patriarch Chen's words were true, his son, who was doing business in the county town, had long wanted a gourd king as a signboard.

"Hehe, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Wu Shi only needed a giant gourd and let the servants carry it to the carriage, but Ying Bao picked up another one and sent it to the small one.

After that, Wu Shi went to see the pile of cotton harvested by the Jiang family.

The snow-white cotton had not yet been seeded, and it was all piled up in one room, filling the room to the brim.

Wu Shi grabbed a ball of cotton and looked at it, and sighed: "This cotton is really good, Jiang Sanlang, can you sell cotton seeds to the county government?" ”

Before Jiang Sanlang could speak, Sun Li was in a hurry, and stepped forward and said: "Mingfu, there are many villagers in our township who are waiting to buy cottonseeds, you can't ...... buy them all."

Several other villages were also anxious, but they did not dare to interject.

Wu Shi said with a smile: "I just want to purchase the cottonseeds and distribute them uniformly, Sun Weng, you don't have to worry." ”

"Hehehe, I see." Sun Lizheng smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Sanlang: "My eldest brother and second brother also harvested a lot of cotton, and other families in our village have also planted it, so they should also have a lot of cottonseeds." ”

He said that he didn't mean anything else, just to tell Sun Lizheng that there was no shortage of cotton seeds.

Wu Shi thought for a while and said, "In this way, let your village give priority to planting cotton, and sell the rest of the cotton seeds to the county government." ”

This thing is precious, if you don't interfere, I'm afraid that there will soon be a big family to buy it at a high price.

In this way, the cotton will flow to the hands of the aristocracy, and the common people will not be able to popularize the cultivation.

What he wanted was to grow cotton all over the county, not to let those aristocratic families dominate.

Chen Sanyou was happy when he heard it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "There are a total of 28 households in our village, and they have all decided to plant 20 acres of cotton next year. ”

If it is calculated according to ten catties of cotton seeds per acre of land, they need more than 5,000 catties of cottonseed in one village. No, in fact, it costs 10,000 catties, because there are more than 20 households in the East Village, but half of them are actually divided.

Chen Sanyou was annoyed that he was fast-talking, saying that there were only 28 households in the village, so he heard Jiang Sanlang say: "Every household in our village is planted, and it is estimated that it will cost 10,000 catties of cotton seeds, and then the rest will be handed over to the big officials." ”

Wu Shi nodded with satisfaction and asked the scribes around him to count the number of cotton harvests in the East Village.

Sakura took advantage of their discussion and went to pick grapes herself.

Jiang Quan followed and complained in a low voice: "Why do you say that the gourd is not valuable?" So how will we sell gourds in the future? ”

"Stupid!"

Ying Bao said: "Our gourd is sold to people from other villages, which one of these villagers will come to buy it?" If I say that the gourd is valuable, when our gourd is sold out, will you still be able to buy the gourd in the village in the future? ”

Jiang Quan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Bao'er is still the smartest." ”

"That's it." Sakura Po was not ashamed and said, "I'm a unique little fairy." ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, you are a unique little fairychild." Jiang Quan had long been accustomed to the cheekiness of his little cousin, and he actually felt that what she said was very reasonable.

Several children followed Sakura Bao to pick pears and grapes, and ate while picking, and the grape skins spit on the ground.

Sakura Bao carried a bamboo basket of grapes and picked a basket of red and purple grapes.

It's a pity that the peaches are eaten up, otherwise I would have picked some for Wu Daozi to taste.

In this wave of picking, there are not many grapes left, and there are still a few unripe pears in the middle of the tree.

Sakura plans to wait for the spring of next year to transplant the newly bred grape seedlings, pepper seedlings and pepper seedlings in the cave to expand his orchard again. By the way, there are also apple seedlings.

This year, the apple tree has produced a few apples, and a while ago Sakura picked them for her family to eat, she kept the apple seeds and planted them in the cave.

"Sakurabao, the basket is heavy, I'll carry it for you." Chu Chu took the bamboo basket in Yingbao's hand.

She claims to be Sakura's little helper, and refuses to go home no matter what, even though her family is doing a lot better now.

Since the last time Yingbao sent the fungus to her family, after two breeding, Chu Yan has planted 400 golden fungus, as long as these 400 golden fungus are harvested and sold, the life of Chu Chu's family can improve by leaps and bounds.

But Chu Chu just wants to stay here, take the time to learn to read and write with Yingbao, and play with Dani Erni in his spare time, which is very pleasant.

Sakura Bao also went by her, asking her to do some work for herself every day, and still giving her three times a month.

Not to mention, with Chu Chu accompanying her daughter, Chun Niang is also a lot more relieved that her daughter runs around every day, and sometimes allows them to go to the town to buy things, of course, at this time, they are either accompanied by Jiang Quan or Jiang Cheng follows.

"Yingbao, why aren't you afraid of the Ming Mansion officials?" Chu Chu asked curiously.

As soon as she saw the county officials holding the moon with the stars, she felt that her calves were trembling, and she didn't even dare to look directly at her, where did she dare to chat with others.

Sakurabo: "Why be afraid? ”

Even in her previous life, she had never been afraid of anyone, even those subordinates of the Governor whose hands were covered in blood, as long as they dared to offend her, she would smash them with anything, smash them to the ground, and dare not provoke them again.
