(Book friend group 2oo7o2oo9, the girl is waiting for you, welcome to join!)

On September 9, Chongyang stepped into autumn, climbed high to avoid disasters, and drank chrysanthemum wine.

It was the third day that Chen Sanlang returned to Jing County with Zhou Heyi's family, and in three days, he mainly did one thing, which was to come forward to apply to the new county lord Zun Lu of Jing County and buy a hundred acres of land.

One hundred acres of fields, all located in the area of the river temple, the soil is average, not fertile, it is better to be connected and bordered by barren slopes.

The first thing a scholar did to get an official position was to buy a house and a land. Chen Sanlang, as the Duke of Xie Yuan, is not uncommon to buy a hundred acres of land. In fact, this amount is only a little less than his current status. Generally, who does not have hundreds of acres of land in the family?

In an agrarian society, the land is the foundation. Only when there is land can there be grain and output. The people take food as their day, and the role of food will never expire.

With the land, the next step is personnel, recruiting tenants, and forming villages. In Jing County, the Chen family is a small family with a sparse direct family. Chen Sanlang's two elder sisters, the second sister's family fled to the country, and the eldest sister was far away in Nanyang Mansion, and the two sides did not have much contact.

At this point, the foundation is really superficial.

Chen Sanlang first recruited people from his mother's mother's side, and the three uncles were all farmers, and they lived a hard life. Hearing that his nephew had taken the exam, they were overjoyed, and as soon as Chen Sanlang opened his mouth, they hurriedly agreed and moved over with their families.

Then there is the maid Xiaocui's family.

This woman resolutely chose to stay and tide over the difficulties together when the Chen family was in the most difficult time, and she won the trust of the Chen Wang family. Now he has become a deacon, mainly assisting Chen Wang's family, taking care of housekeeping, and has some power in his hands.

Xiaocui was born poor, otherwise the family would not let her daughter come out to be a maid and serve people. In the past, the parents watched the Chen family decline. The wind and rain are shaking, there is a disaster of overturning at any time, and he is worried about his daughter, so he repeatedly persuades Xiaocui to leave the Chen family and find an honest and honest man to marry.

But Xiaocui just refused.

At that time, there were many disputes, and Xiaocui's parents were angry enough. I think my daughter must have been brainwashed. Looking at the other two maids who came out of the Chen family, they changed owners, and they had a few meals of meat to eat every month, and there were hundreds of dollars to put away.

What does the Chen family have?

The food and drink were simple, and I had to help weave cloth, which was very hard.

Now it's hard work. Chen Sanlang has the right to solve the yuan, the family business is waiting to be prosperous, and he dare not say anything else, and he will inevitably become the gateway of the gentry in the county. As an "old man", she has a strong affection, and Xiaocui deserves to be reused, and her identity is very different.

She went home that day with ten pieces of money. Putting the silver on the table, the parents were so happy that they immediately changed their tone to praise their daughter for her vision, and it was really the right thing to do when she chose to stay.

This is not a snob who sees the wind and rudder, but the survival of small people.

Xiaocui smiled: "Dad, mother, not only that, the young master also said." Five acres of land will be allocated to our family, and from now on, you will no longer have to be tenants for others, and you will only have to eat a full meal. ”

Hearing this, my parents couldn't help but cry - for farmers, land is not only the land, but also the sky. Stands for a qiē.

"Master Chen is kind-hearted, and he misses love!"

Xiao Cui nodded and said, "The young master is indeed a good person and generous. Uncle Hua got more, ten acres. and Mr. Zhou, who was invited, is also ten acres. ”

Of the 100 acres of land that Chen Sanlang bought, he kept 50 acres, and the other 50 acres were used as rewards and gifts. The relatives who migrated in have scored points according to their affection. Aside from affection, the bond of interests is indispensable, Chen Sanlang knows very well in his heart, in this regard, he must not be stingy.

Sure enough, after the distribution of the land and property, the enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high, ploughing the fields and turning the soil, repairing the water conservancy, and it was a hot scene.

Zhou Hezhi was divided into ten acres of land, and he was quite reluctant not to go: "Son, Zhou has just arrived, and he has not made an inch, so he has so much land, and he is really blushing." As the old saying goes: if you don't do anything, it's better to wait until things are done. ”

was reminded by his wife, he changed his name and no longer called "Daoyuan" to show his priority. At first, there was a slight pimple, but it was called a few more times, and it was much smoother.

Chen Sanlang waved his hand: "It's okay." He, if you are willing to sell your ancestral house and follow me, it will be a credit. If you have a large family, if you have no land, you are a rootless man, how can you do things with peace of mind? Needless to say, there are many things I need you to do, and a mere ten acres of land is not enough to worry about. ”

Zhou Hezhi bowed down and said: "Thank you for the generous gift of the son, Zhou will do his best." ”

Chen Sanlang took out the map he had observed and depicted last time, picked up another branch, and pointed to the map: "Why do you look at this map, what do you think?"

Zhou Hezhi woke up and watched carefully, the more he watched, the more excited he became. According to the map, Chen Sanlang obviously has a ravine, and the 100 acres of land he has bought is just the beginning.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but speak: "Childe wants to build a village dock fort outside?"

Chen Sanlang said: "Yes, the layout of the county town has been determined, and it is difficult to get involved, and my house is not large, the space is narrow, and if you want to exhibit it, you must jump out." ”

Zhou Hezhi sighed: "The son is far-sighted, and Zhou admires it." ”

It's not a compliment, it's heartfelt. Chen Sanlang is by no means one of those pedantic nerds who can only drop his bookbag, he can not only test paper articles, but also do practical articles.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "It costs a lot to build a village dock fort...... Also, it must be approved by the yamen. ”

Chen Sanlang said with a smile: "It is not difficult for the yamen to approve, it is much easier than buying land directly." ”

Zhou Hezhi is not a stupid person, and he understands Chen Sanlang's intentions a little: buy land first, and then use the principle of proximity to apply for the establishment of a village dock fort, and then take the village dock fort as the center, radiate to the surroundings, and it is logical to reclaim wasteland...... Slowly, swallow the whole place, and the area of 10,000 acres can become a foundation.

"But Childe, this matter will take a long time to do, and it needs to be done slowly. ”

"Well, I don't expect it to be successful in two or three years, so I'm laying the foundation and outlining the prototype first. What's more, it won't be long before I have to go to the capital to take the exam, and I have to worry about many things. ”

Zhou Hezhi said angrily: "The person who is a confidant dies, Zhou is a talented person, and he can't want three meals a day." Appreciated by the son, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, dare not bow and do your best?"

Chen Sanlang smiled: "Then you go and get busy first, if there is anything, you can discuss it with Mr. Yang." ”

"Understood. ”

Zhou Hezhi said goodbye and went out.

He was young and had a head, read a lot of books, and had great ambitions, but he had no choice but to fail the imperial examination and cut off hope, thinking that he could only live a mess in this life and live with regrets. After choosing to follow Chen Sanlang, there is a place to realize his ambitions, as if he is in the second spring, and he is very energetic.

As soon as Zhou Hezhi left, Uncle Hua came in again.

Chen Sanlang asked, "Uncle Hua, is there something?"

Uncle Hua said: "Young master, I am a person who has half a child in the soil, no children and no daughters, what do you want so many fields, you take it back and plant it for others." ”

Chen Sanlang said with a smile: "You have done something at home for decades, after two generations, this is a great credit. Meritorious service will be rewarded, do you want outsiders to point at my back and scold me, saying that I treat the elderly meanly?"

"This ......"

Chen Sanlang said again: "Uncle Hua, you are only in the age of sixtieth, and you will be healthy in the future, and you will be old and strong, and I still count on you for many things." ”

Uncle Hua sobbed: "Young master, I was born as a member of the Chen family, and I died as a ghost of the Chen family." ”

Chen Sanlang sighed and said leisurely: "Uncle Hua, that time I took you to Nanyang Mansion to take the exam, and I once told you that I would let you return to your hometown and marry a daughter-in-law, do you remember?"

Uncle Hua's old face flushed: "I remember." ”

"At that time, you must have thought in your heart, Young Master, that I was drunk and deliberately teased you by talking nonsense. ”

Uncle Hua said abruptly: "Not really. ”

Chen Sanlang's expression was straight: "What I said and what I promised, I will definitely do it." Now, it's time to keep your promise. ”

As he spoke, he took out five envelopes of silver and put them on the table: "Here are fifty taels of silver, you take them with you, and return to your hometown in fine clothes." Marry a daughter-in-law, get things done, and come back. If you want your brothers and sisters in your hometown to come with you, bring them with you. There is a shortage of people here, and there must be kindness. ”

Uncle Hua took the silver, couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and fell to his knees.

Chen Sanlang hurriedly helped him up: "Uncle Hua, you go back this time, you have silver on you, and it is not safe to be alone, ask Ah An to accompany you." ”

Ah An is Xiao Cui's elder brother, a sturdy young man who has recently become a servant of the Chen family. Although Uncle Hua is an old man, he is more at ease with someone by his side.

Sending Uncle Hua away, Chen Sanlang stayed in the study to think about things, summarize and sort out, what can be done at this stage, and do it as soon as possible.

At the latest, he would have to leave for the capital in October.

For the poor scholars, if the township test is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, then the test is a straight up. If you stop at raising people's fame, although you have an official body, but according to the current shape, it is not so easy to become an official, I don't know how many ways to go, how much silver to do, and you have to queue up and wait for people's necks to grow.

For example, no matter how much you jump, the height is limited.

However, after passing the examination, obtaining the fame of Jinshi will change qualitatively again, and the clouds will rise to the top, the sky is vast, and the prospects are bright.

As long as it is a jinshi, there must be an official.

Not to mention, Chen Sanlang's cultivation of "Haoran Silk Book" also needs the support of fame accumulation. Therefore, no matter what, he is bound to win this session. Don't forget, there is also a poisonous snake-like Taoist priest outside, ready to kill at any time.

As for the other dangers, it is even more difficult to predict.

At this stage, Chen Sanlang mainly instructed Zhou Hezhi to dig up the land and open up the wasteland, and build some farmhouses and houses sporadically by the mountains and rivers, but the real village dock fort was not in a hurry, and it was not so easy to build.

The biggest problem at the moment is that he has very little money on hand.

At the beginning, the box of gold and silver treasures was already spent, but later the crab and male fish essence knew that the son was waiting for the money, so they swam out of the Jingjiang River to rummage through the shipwreck, and got a batch of money to send in order to buy a hundred acres of land. But this road of wealth is not long-lasting, nor is it stable.

There is a way to make money, what is the best way?

(The protagonist has no money to spend, can you show me a clear way?)
