Chapter 105 Han is in a hurry
Su Tai let go for Ruan Xiaoyu’s sake, put away her playful expression, and said: “If you ask me, I think we can continue to plant wheat, peanuts and soybeans, but at most It’s impossible to make money from these three things after two years of farming.”
"Why?" Su Chunlin didn't understand.
Others looked at Su Tai leisurely, not thinking that she could say anything useful.
Relying on Shen Yi's presence, Su Tai planned to teach her mother's family a lesson, "The reason is simple. Why did the county magistrate buy all the crops we planted the year before last at a high price? It's because of the high yield. If every household can have a high yield, it would be a good idea for the county magistrate." For the Lord, this will be a great achievement in his official career, enough for him to be promoted to two or three levels.
I know you will definitely ask, since I bought it in the first year, why did I buy it in the second year? Naturally, the county government conducted experiments in the first year and the results were good, but there were not enough seeds to benefit all villages in a short period of time, so last year the county government did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy our crops.
These crops have been divided this year. This autumn harvest, half of the villages in Zhaohua County will have a good harvest. The county magistrate must have reported the situation early. This year, the county government will purchase crops at a high price. Next year, at least a quarter of Langya Country will be harvested. It can be popularized, and in at least one year, every household in Langya country will be able to harvest high-yield wheat, soybeans and peanuts.
Do you think these three things are still valuable by then? "
Her words made the whole family change their expressions.
Mr. Han was the first to lose his composure, "How about that? I'm still thinking of cultivating some more fields with these crops, so that your two brothers won't have to live so hard when they are separated. According to what you say, I still want to cultivate some fields." You have to hurry up and buy land!”
Su Tai nodded vigorously, "Mom, if you want to buy land, hurry up, otherwise there won't be much land to buy in the village!"
After being reminded like this, Han couldn't sit still anymore, took the money and ran to Su Changxi's house.
Su Chunlin was calmer and looked at Su Tai eagerly. Girl, what do you think our family can grow after next year?
"Grow fruit!" Su Tai said matter-of-factly.
Everyone's mind was filled with questions, "Fruit?"
Su Ming frowned, "Sister, are you greedy for fruit? There are a lot of fruits in the mountains. You want me to find them for you."
Su Tai patted Su Ming's head lovingly, "Sister, I'm not greedy for fruits. Most of the fruits in the mountains are sour. The delicious ones have many flaws, and they are really not liked by everyone. So when the time comes, we will grow something delicious that we don't have here. Guoguo, hasn’t Mom already bought some land? It’s time to start planting it next year, so we can take advantage of everyone’s better times and don’t worry about not being able to sell it.”
Su Chunlin's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to exaggerate, but looked at Shen Yi, "What do you think?"
Shen Yi nodded funnyly, "Just do whatever Xiao Tai says."
Su Tai immediately said: "In the spring, our family will buy another twenty acres of wasteland to grow fruits. Anyway, the wasteland will not collect field tax for the first three years, so we can do whatever we want."
"Bad!" Su Chunlin stood up suddenly and ran out.
Su Tai looked confused.
Su Zhan said happily: "Dad is probably going to stop my mother from buying fertile land."
The couple went out for most of the day, and when they came back it was windy when they walked.
Su Tai poked her head out of the kitchen room and asked, "Is it done?"
Han trotted in with joy, "Both of us have gone there, we have to do it even if we don't do it! I heard that almost every household in our village has to buy land this year, and there is not much fertile land left. I was pestering the village chief when your father came and said It doesn’t matter if we don’t want good farmland, but we have to choose good wasteland.
The village chief decided on the spot that our family would be the first to pick out wasteland after the spring snow melted. Your father also said that he wanted to buy 60 acres, which I didn’t even dare to think about! Can we come over to serve you? Su Tai suddenly said with a relaxed look on her face, "Mom, if you can't take care of me, just buy two more cattle to help. Anyway, our family can't afford it. In the past two years, we will plant soybeans and peanuts first, and we can also plant wheat. We can make more money." Some.
After the autumn harvest, to fertilize the fields, you ask your father to dig river mud from the Xiaoshizi River, burn wheat straw, bean stems, etc., and mix the cow dung, sheep dung, chicken dung and other farm fertilizers saved by our family into the fields, oh. ! That’s right! Our family can still raise some pigs in the spring. If we can handle them, we can raise three or five. The pig manure can also be left to irrigate the ground. Do you think that if we serve like this for a year, the land will not become fat?
If you don't have enough people, you can ask for help, and you can also take care of two people's meals. If you can't find it in our village, you can go to Zhongmen Village or Ximen Village to find it. There are many people who want to take this job, right? "
Mr. Han's heart surged when he heard this, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth, "Yo! According to what you say, our family will soon become landlords, and I will become a landlord's mother-in-law!"
She never dared to think about it before this day! It's like a dream.
Su Tai was so happy that she couldn't help but say, "Mom, where are you going? After the family stabilizes in the past few years, A Zhan and Xiaoyu get married, and A Ming is older, our family can still open a shop in the town and collect rent. It's all good, don't look at buying a shop and spending a lot of money.
But this thing is real. If we encounter any natural disasters in the future, we don’t have to worry about starving to death, right? "
Han was so dizzy by the vision described by Su Tai that she hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, girl, I can't even think about what you're talking about. Now I'll wait until our family gets the sixty acres of wasteland." Besides, it’s okay to buy cattle and raise pigs. I’ll leave these jobs to Xiaoyu and A Ming, and your father and A Zhan will be busy with the work in the fields. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you after the spring begins.”
Han felt uncomfortable when he mentioned this matter.
The man your daughter marries is good at everything, but it is a big problem that no one is there to help her.
Su Tai didn't care at all, "Mom, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Although I can't help with the work in the fields, we can ask people to help! Shenjiazhuang is different from our Dongmen Village. We have made money in the past two years. Only Shen Yi and his second uncle built a house.
There are many families in the village who don't have enough to eat. By giving them twenty or thirty wages a day, they can hire a bunch of people to do the work. "
"This is too wasteful!" Han frowned with a look of disapproval.
Su Tai said: "Mom, do you know how much I have earned in the past few months since we got married?"
"How much?" Han moved closer to Su Tai unconsciously.
Su Tai stretched out two fingers.
Han subconsciously said: "Twenty taels?"
Su Tai showed a meaningful smile, "Twenty taels of silver is not worth my care! I work so hard to earn money just so that I can have less pain from working. Do you understand, mother?"
Han shook his head speechlessly, "I don't understand. Sometimes I really can't understand why my daughter, who is obviously raised by me, thinks like a landowner lady in the city, who is afraid of hardship and likes to be lazy.
But I can’t say anything about you young couple if you have the ability to make money. You just have to know where to spend your money. Save it when it’s time and spend it when you should. It will cost you money to raise children in the future! "
Speaking of the child, Han immediately looked at Su Tai's belly and asked, "Nothing happened yet?"
Su Tai nodded innocently, "No! I told Shen Yi to go see the doctor, but he said it wasn't fate and didn't let me go."
"That's not possible! We've been married for so long. If there's no problem, how could we not be pregnant yet? I'll take you to Dr. Li tomorrow to have a look!"
Han's expression was serious, and Su Tai didn't dare to object at all.
