Chapter 34: Xie Yunshu's Plans
Xie Yunshu smiled again: "It's okay if no one knows this in Zhuangzi, with the Pingbei Hou Mansion, is it possible that I can't ask who is good at this, and can I invite someone to teach?" Mushrooms grow fast, and can be harvested in ten years, and if the cave is kept warm properly, mushrooms can be produced in winter, but the speed may be slower. In this way, we have more income, and you have more too, what do you think? β
She herself has a little common sense in this area, and we will discuss it together when the time comes.
Steward Tang was stunned, and smiled for a moment: "The eldest lady is really, really a good idea." It's just that this is not necessarily easier said than done, so let's take a look at it again...... Otherwise, it will be a waste of the eldest lady's capital, and it will be inappropriate. β
Xie Yunshu chuckled: "Steward Tang doesn't have to worry about this, I naturally thought about it before I spoke." It's not like I've never been exposed to these things, but it's not behind closed doors! β
Steward Tang's smile was even more reluctant: "The eldest lady has good skills......
Xie Yunshu didn't expect it to settle down at this moment, smiled and didn't say anything more, and continued to walk after resting enough.
She was not interested in climbing again, so she descended from the other side of the mountain.
After going down the mountain, it was a dam, Xie Yunshu's eyes lit up again, and he pointed at Steward Tang and said with a smile: "Steward Tang, look at it, the water area of this reservoir is wide, it's too wasteful, you can raise fish!" β
When Tang Suyan heard this, he smiled and said, "The eldest lady doesn't know, there are a lot of fish here!" β
Ding Cuixia: "Yes, yes! Every yearβ"
Steward Tang couldn't control the mouths of these two girls and hurriedly interrupted: "The eldest lady doesn't know, this fish farming is not so easy, you have to think about it in the long run." I think the plums over there should be ripe, Xuyan, Cuixia, you go pick a few for the eldest lady to try, go quickly. β
Steward Tang pushed the two girls as he spoke, and glared at the two of them with his back to the person.
The two girls were a little frightened and a little puzzled, but they also understood that their father (Uncle Tang) meant that they were not allowed to speak in front of the eldest lady, and the two agreed and ran away to pick plums.
"Speaking of plums," Xie Yunshu said casually: "The fruit trees planted in the orchard on our Zhuangzi are too miscellaneous, I looked at the account books, and they are so messy, no wonder they can't be sold for a good price." In the future, I will mainly plant persimmons, peaches and watermelons. Peaches can be marketed at the beginning of summer, watermelons are not sold in summer, and persimmons can be sold fresh or made into persimmons. Steward Tang, are you right? β
Steward Tang was about to shut himself up, "What the eldest lady said sounds like some truth. Isn't it a pity that the original fruit trees have to be cut down? The tenants are afraid that they will not be reluctant. Besides, even if the crops are replanted, the harvest may not be good, the price will be good, and it will take several years to bear fruit. β
Steward Tang was very annoyed and disgusted that Xie Yunshu was troublesome.
The dignified eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, the huge Pingbei Hou Mansion, is there still such a lack of output? Why should the eldest lady stare at this?
Xie Yunshu smiled: "The tenants don't understand, so Steward Tang explained to them carefully." Since I plan to do so, naturally I don't want to mess around. This is my Zhuangzi, and I hope to be better than anyone else! β
Steward Tang laughed with him.
Further along the dam, at the foot of the hill is an orchard planted with plums and apricots.
The situation of hanging fruit is worrying.
The ground is quite clean, and the weeds have been cleared, which shows that the tenants are still very diligent.
It's just that the varieties are not good, and they don't know how to prune and thin flowers, I'm afraid they don't even know how to fertilize, so it's strange that this fruit tree can grow well.
It is completely up to the sky to eat.
Tang Suyan and Ding Cuixia quickly picked a lot of plums, the dark red plums were covered with a layer of hoarfrost on the surface, and before they could eat, they asked about a faint sour taste unique to plums, Xie Yunshu was full of sourness, but she didn't like the taste of sourness, so she picked a barely ripe one and took a bite and didn't eat it, "It's still a little sour, it seems that it will take a while to ripen!" It looks quite big. β
Ding Cuixia smiled: "No, the plums on our Zhuangzi are very big, and everyone says that our fruit trees are good and the soil is fertile!" β
Xie Yunshu was sour, they didn't think so, everyone divided the points and ate them.
Steward Tang looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Miss, it's almost noon, why don't you go back first?" The Zhuangzi is huge, and you can't finish shopping for a while. Besides, there are either mountains or valleys ahead, they are all the same, and there is nothing to visit. If you are tired of the eldest lady, it will not be good. At this time, the weather is also hot, and there are many poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and ants in this wild. β
If she was really a pampered lady of the Hou Mansion, she would not come to such a place at all, and this was enough to scare away.
However, Xie Yunshu is not a native of the Hou Mansion.
Hearing this, she laughed and said, "Thank you Steward Tang for your concern!" Steward Tang has a heart. When my mother and grandma and I were in our hometown, we also followed the adults to work in the mountains, and I was not afraid of these, I would be careful. By the way, isn't there a lot of sheep in Zhuangzi? Where is it? Take me to see it. β
Steward Tang was sullen, so he had to respond and lead Xie Yunshu to continue forward.
The melon-eating system has already told Xie Yunshu that the place where the sheep are raised is not far in front, and there are thousands of sheep raised on this Zhuangzi! Every year, they only give about 30 heads to the Hou Mansion, and the rest are all bought by themselves.
Of course, Steward Tang and the other two second stewards shared the most, followed by the small stewards, and the tenants also got a piece of the pie.
After asking about the price of the sheep in the melon eating system, Xie Yunshu roughly calculated, just the income of this item, the tenant family alone can earn at least twelve or three taels of silver a year!
Not to mention the stewards, of course.
For example, Tang Steward, just the income from selling sheep, he can get at least two hundred taels.
What else? They built four large fish ponds, and planted salvia, astragalus, rhubarb, Huoxiang and other medicinal materials where there were few people.
and some other bits and pieces of income.
Where is Weiziling a barren and difficult place? It's a treasure trove!
The tenants' lives are very good, which family and which household does not earn thirty or forty taels of silver a year?
On the surface, it seems that they really paid the rent seriously, and the orchard was taken care of seriously, but in addition, they put the rest of the income in the Zhuangzi into their own pockets!
All of this was led by Steward Tang.
He was their think tank, and he came up with all the ideas.
While being annoyed, Xie Yunshu really admired him.
can sneak into such a climate in the Zhuangzi of the master's house without letting the master find out, I have to say that this person really has something.
