Fight the Giants Chapter 306

Chapter 306 Do as I say

Huo Erhuai and Bao Xia took Zhuang Pu to repair the yard in a hurry.

This will be the home of a family from now on. Babies will be raised here, and children will be born here. Don't be careless, with a smile on your face and full of energy.

I bought so many fields before, and on other people's land, others would not allow people from other villages to build houses in the village.

It's all right now, this Zhuangzi is our own, and we can build it however we want. Taking the money that Xi'er gave to his servant to redeem his body, he began to find someone to beat and repair and order furniture.

Qi Da returned home with erratic footsteps, and the family looked at each other in dismay, unable to believe that Qi Da became the head of the village? Five taels of silver in January?

Although he is acting as the head of the village, as long as he is diligent and diligent, handles the affairs of the master's family well and makes no mistakes, the head of the village will still fall on his own head.

"I, I can't read. I'm not like my in-laws, who can read. I know so many people, and I often go to and from the capital. I, I can count the number of times I have been to the capital with one hand. Why did my boss choose me as the head of the village?" gone?"

Qi Da is still dreaming.

His only son, Qi Wangchuan, smiled and said: "Father, maybe the master knows that father is honest, doesn't steal, **** and play tricks, and is a man of duty, so he let him be the head of the farm."

Qi Da's old parents were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. Their son is now Zhuangtou.

Pulled him and told him: "Son, you have to work hard, don't let the boss take you down. If you become the head of the village, our family can also be prosperous."

"But I only know how to farm." I can't be a farmer. Qi Da doubted whether he could do it.

"Father, my son will help you with the bookkeeping."

"Okay, you help dad." Qi Da was half relieved that his son was willing to help.

Qi Da's wife was overjoyed: "Wang Chuan, you have to help your father well. If it weren't for your uncle Dongsheng who wanted to redeem himself, this estate would not fall on your father's head. But your grandma, and Qiuyue Why didn't her parents-in-law redeem themselves? Your grandma separated and stayed in Zhuangzi?"

If you don't go out with your eldest son to be a good citizen, why do you stay in Zhuangzi?

The elderly Qi sighed: "Dongsheng probably didn't want to redeem himself, but it must be Youwen's mother who wanted to redeem himself."

Qi Wangchuan said: "Youwen wants to take the imperial examination."

Everyone sighed: "The imperial examination is not so easy." Then they looked at Qi Wangchuan: "Wangchuan, do you want to continue studying for a few years?"

Qi Wangchuan shook his head: "No, I'm not that kind of material. I see that the master is a kind-hearted person. Let's work hard for the master in the future and just live our lives in Zhuangzi."

The Wu family on the other side did not expect Qi Da to become the head of Xinzhuang.

Mr. Rong said to his second son Qiushui: "Your in-laws became the head of the Zhuangzi, and our family stayed in the Zhuangzi. Our life is no different from before."

Wu Qiushui nodded. He is used to living in Zhuangzi, with food and drink, nothing to worry about, and a stable life. The outside is not as good as my sister-in-law said.

In Zhuangzi, there is a master who protects them, and when they go out, if something happens, and my family is so rootless, who will I turn to? It's not easy either.

Wu Qiushui's eldest daughter-in-law, Wu Qishi, was very happy. His father became the head of the village, and her husband's family stayed in the village.

Wu Dongsheng packed his bags and asked his mother, "Mother, you really don't want to go out with your son?"

Mrs. Rong shook her head: "Mother doesn't want to bump around anymore. She lives in the Zhuangzi and becomes a member of the master's family. With the protection of the master's family, there is nothing to worry about. In the next hundred years, there will be a piece of land where the bones can be buried. It's very good. Mother and Your brother is here, and our family has a way out."

Wu Qiushui also nodded: "Yes, brother, if you have a bad time outside, I can still help you and ask the Lord to let you come back."

Mr. Lin curled her lips. If there is a chance of leaving the country, she would not want it. She insisted on staying here as a leg for others. She beckoned her son and daughter to clean up quickly, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

On the other side, after Huo Xi settled down, she came to find Qi Da, the head of the new village, and took his father and son to inspect the village.

Qi Da and Qi Wangchuan followed respectfully, and Huo Xi answered whatever he asked.

There is a mountainous land in Zhuangzi, which is not small, with 36 mu. Huo Xi saw that he only planted some bamboos, so he asked him how to arrange these bamboos.

"I will sell some every year, but there is not much money. I got a lot of bamboo shoots, dried a lot of dried bamboo shoots, and sent them to the owner's house. The more farmers also shared some."

Huo Xi nodded. There are not many bamboos planted, only seven or eight clumps, and they have not grown to a large scale.

Pointing to the empty mountain land: "Clean up the empty space, raise it, and arrange for people to plant mulberry trees. Bamboos should be planted more densely."

In this way, there must be at least 20 acres of mulberry trees. In the future, some silkworms will be raised in the village, and the silkworm silk needed by the velvet flower planting workshop for one year will be enough.

"Ask the women in the Zhuangzi again, who knows how to raise silkworms, and if they don't, go to the neighborhood and learn from others. Next year, those who are willing to raise silkworms in the Zhuangzi will get 30% of their income."

"In addition, I see that every family raises chickens, ducks and pigs. From next year, private breeding will not be allowed. One here and one there will be difficult to manage. Next year, Zhuangzi will raise them in a unified way, and build some big sheds for half-sized girls. And those old people with weak labor will take care of it, and 30% of the income will be distributed to them. If each family wants to eat, they can buy it at a 20% discount on the market price. This is efficient and does not delay the work of the farm."

Qi's big eyes lit up: "Okay, that's good!"

The owner arranges in this way, and each family does not have to worry about the chickens, ducks, pigs and geese at home when doing work. There is no need to build a chicken coop here and a duck coop there in Zhuangzi.

After talking about this, we went to see Tian together.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the two to three hundred acres of fields are full of rice, and the wind blows the rice waves. It gives people a sense of joy that a good harvest is in sight.

It seems that farmers and tenants are paying attention.

Huo Xi is very satisfied: "After the autumn harvest, all the land will be plowed deeply, and then winter wheat will be planted for another season. Rice seedlings will be bred in advance at the end of next spring, and winter wheat will be harvested in early summer. All the upper fields will be planted with rice, and all the 80 acres of middle fields will be planted with glutinous rice."

"ah?"

Father and son are stunned, two seasons will be planted in the field? Don't raise fields? In this way, the fertility of the land will be exhausted within a few years.

But it was hard to refute, so I just said: "We have rented out these fields to tenants, and they are up to them to plant whatever they want. We only collect rent from them..."

"This is my Zhuangzi. I decide what to plant in the field. You don't have to worry about fertility for two seasons. I will teach you how to increase the fertility of the field. You just need to do what I say. If If the tenants are unwilling, the field will be taken back as soon as the contract expires after the autumn harvest is over, and anyway, if the owner is changed, the contract will have to be re-signed.”

Qi Da frowned tightly.

The little boss in front of him, who looks about ten years old, taught him this old farmer who has been farming for many years to farm?

Who doesn't know how much output can be produced in two seasons?

But after planting for two seasons and not raising the field, it took only one or two years. Later, the field was overdrawn. In the future, the fertile field will become a middle field, and the middle field will become a lower field. Isn't it like drinking blood to quench thirst?

Qi Da looked at Huo Xi, hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but opened his mouth, but was held back by his son Qi Wangchuan.

"Boss, my father is worried that planting two seasons will damage the field, just like the old cow pulling the cart, no matter how strong and endurable it is, it can't be used day and night. The cow is useless."

Huo Xi glanced at him, secretly admiring him.

The father and son in front of them are real farmers in their bones. They don't blindly follow her boss's words, and they don't flatter them. It seems that she has a good vision in choosing the owner.

Looking at the fertile fields blown by the wind, he said: "There are twelve months in a year, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is abundant and fertile, and the fields will not freeze in winter. months. If you grow more varieties, you can get more food for one season, and everyone can eat enough, so what's wrong?"

Qi Da couldn't help opening his mouth: "That's the truth, but you need to raise land. If you don't raise land, the production will be reduced the next year. Wouldn't good land become bad land?"

Huo Xi smiled. The reason why he wanted to raise the land was that in this day and age, everyone didn't know how to fertilize the land, the yield per mu was low, and there were many pests, so it took a few months to raise the land.

Said it was raising, but did not take any measures, just let the land sit for nothing, that is, let the land rest.

Waste the field in vain.

"Don't worry, I said that if I can grow it for two seasons, I can grow it. This village was bought by my family at a high price. I can't just harvest it for a year or two, and then the good field will become a middle field. I will not drink poison to quench my thirst. Do it. You just do what I said to greet farmers and tenants in advance, find good wheat seeds in advance, and after the autumn harvest, I will teach you how to do it."

Qi Da wanted to say more, but was stopped by his son, so he shut up. It's just that the brows are still locked.

Huo Xi didn't explain too much, and checked various properties on Zhuangzi. When it was getting dark, he saw Yang Fu running from afar.
