I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 612 Plowing

After Liu Hu finished speaking, he looked at the third master with some concern.

After all, these 100 mu of land cannot be found casually.

Hearing what Liu Hu said, Boss Ning waved his hand.

"It's only more than 100 mu of land. I bought a few villages before, and besides planting sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, there is still a lot of land left unplanted!

It is just used to grow cotton, and it is guaranteed that there will be no land for planting. "

Ning Lao San asked Wang to buy Zhuangzi before, only to find out that because of the bitter cold, the Saibei side can be said to be sparsely populated.

It's just that most of the land here is not suitable for growing things.

Wang bought two Zhuangzi, each with more than 500 mu of land.

However, so much land, at least 200 mu, has been gradually deserted because no one is planting it.

Mrs. Wang was not in the mansion during this time, but stayed with Zhuangzi.

In addition to buying the servants in the village, she hired people from the villages near the village to do long-term labor to plow and fertilize the land in the village.

Fifteen cents for a day's work, to the people in the village, it's like free money.

After all, there are only so few fields at home, and the harvest of wheat will not be much.

Therefore, most of the people have planted the high-yield crops that the imperial court in Saibei has planted in recent years.

Once these crops are planted, it doesn't take much effort to manage them.

It's just that these crops are not very valuable because there are many species of them.

Therefore, when they heard that the nearby Zhuangzi was willing to spend fifteen copper coins to hire people to work, naturally they all came to sign up.

However, Wang did not agree to this kind of person who came to her in private.

Instead, they went to Lizheng in the village, and asked those in the village who were interested in working in the village to sign up with Lizheng.

This is mainly to prevent these people who come to work from doing bad things. It's different to find Lizheng to come forward.

You Lizheng guarantees that if any of these long-term workers has anything to do, Wang will find Lizheng instead of others.

She made it clear to Li Zheng that if someone in his village had something to do, the whole village would be responsible.

Li Zheng would not choose bad people to work in her village even for the sake of the whole village.

The fact is the same. People who went to work in Zhuangzi were apprehensive at first, but they worked hard for the fifteen copper coins a day.

In half a month, more than 300 mu of land in each of the two villages were plowed.

Among them, [-] mu of land is planted with wheat, and the other [-] mu of land is planted with sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.

Although the two Zhuangzi each had [-] mu of land left unplanted, Wang also paid these people half a month's wages.

The money was handed out by Lizheng on his behalf. Everyone was so excited to see the 220 five Wen copper coins they got.

People in the village may not be able to earn so much money throughout the year.

Now, after only fifteen days of work in Zhuangzi, how can we not be excited when we get so much money?

Most importantly, there are still fields in Zhuangzi that have not been plowed!

As long as they are willing to work hard, they can make a lot of money.

Therefore, in the following days, the remaining fields in the village were quickly plowed.

Now that Ning Lao San heard what Liu Hu said, he still needs to apply base fertilizer, so he asked Wang to find the villagers near the village again, and collect the base fertilizer to support the land.

When the cotton seeds are soaked, they are first sprinkled on the ground where the base fertilizer has been applied.

Then, just like growing vegetables in the winter in Dahuaishu Village, they were covered with straw curtains and baked with charcoal fire.

Let the temperature in the shed be at least ten degrees different from the outside, so the cotton seedlings sprouted quickly.

Because of the fertilizer applied to the ground, the cotton seedlings grown out are very thick and easy to plant at first glance.

Of course, when these cotton seedlings were almost ready to be moved, the temperature outside was also much higher.

In this case, when the cotton seedlings are transplanted out, these seedlings will not be damaged by freezing due to the temperature.

Although the villagers next door to Zhuangzi helped transplant the cotton seedlings, they didn't know what they were transplanting, they just thought it was vegetable seedlings.

Liu Hu was very surprised when he saw the transplanted cotton seedlings.

After all, in the Zhuangzi on the other side of Nanyue Mansion, they also planted according to the instructions of the county lord.

But the seedlings are very different from the seedlings here, and it seems that the seedlings in Saibeizhuangzi are better.

Therefore, they should have waited for the cotton seedlings to be transplanted, and the group of them had to go back.

However, because of this reason, Liu Hu squatted directly in the Zhuangzi here, and didn't want to go back.

He has to stay here and take a good look. What is the difference between the yield per mu of cotton seedlings like this and that of Nanyue Prefecture?
However, Liu Hu wanted to stay in Saibei, but Ning Laosi couldn't stay in Saibei forever.

After all, his fleet still needs him!
Ning Lao Si wanted to go back, so Ning Mian'er naturally wanted to follow.

During this period of time, she followed fourth uncle, but learned a lot.

It's just that when they came to Saibei before, there were people who were chasing them, and they didn't know if they would follow them when they went back.

Thinking of how she was hiding in Tibet with her fourth uncle before, making her body dirty and smelly, Ning Mian'er refused in her heart.

But it's better to be dirty and smelly than dead.

For Ning Mian'er's thoughts, Ning Laosi didn't know it at first.

It's just that seeing her with a sad face for several days, I couldn't help asking, and knowing her worry, I couldn't help laughing.

"Mian'er, why are you so stupid?

Don't even think about it, what are those people chasing and killing us for? "

Ning Mian'er froze for a moment, then replied.

"Of course it's to prevent us from sending cotton seeds to Uncle San."

Hearing what Ning Mian'er said, Fourth Ning asked with a smile.

"Now that I know, the cotton seeds have already been delivered to your third uncle.

Not only has it been delivered to your third uncle, but it has already been planted! "

When Ning Mian'er heard this, she immediately reacted.

That's right, the cotton seeds have already been sent to Third Uncle and planted, so it would be meaningless for those people to hunt them down again!

"Mian'er is worrying too much!"

Having figured it out, Ning Mian'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After she was relieved, she immediately remembered that after sending cotton seeds to Saibei last time, she bought those goods and brought them back, but she earned a lot of money!

Since there is no danger of going back, the matter of purchasing goods must naturally be done.

There was no fourth uncle there before, so she could only ask third uncle for help.

Now that the fourth uncle is here, the third uncle is not only busy with business, but also has to go to the Zhuangzi to check.

Therefore, Ning Mian'er directly dragged Ning Laosi and ran all over Saibei City.

Compared with the last time, Ning Mian'er has the support of Ning Laosi this time, which is more than double the goods purchased last time.

Anyway, Ning Lao Si has the capital, so he is not afraid of running out of money.

When he set off, the corners of Ning Laosi's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he saw a long line of carriages following behind him.

　Ask for a monthly pass, please!
