The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 127 Land
When Han Qianluo heard her question, he couldn't help guessing: Is there anyone from Zhao Qin's family who wants to work?But it has always been that there is no man in her family who is free at home, so she doesn't think that Li Zheng will come to work.Unable to figure it out, she directly asked: "Of course, Ah Qin, do you want to introduce someone?"

Zhao Qin lowered her head for a moment, then raised her head again, still as bright as ever: "That's right," she said, poking her head out for a look, as if afraid of being overheard.

Seeing her like this, Han Qianluo couldn't help complaining in his heart: Isn't it just to introduce someone, as for such a shameful look?
"Qianluo, do you want to accept the one next door?" Zhao Qin asked seriously, worried.

Han Qianluo pondered for a while, and had some thoughts in her mind. In order to confirm whether the thoughts in her heart were true, she asked, "Who is it?"

"That's right," Zhao Qin paused, not speaking fluently: "The one in Sanyang next to us is called Peng Ning."

Han Qianluo knew this person. He was a 17-year-old man. His family was very poor, and he had a sick mother. He spent a lot of money every month, which made the already poor family even poorer. , but this family has nothing to do with Zhao Qin's family.

"Honestly, what's the relationship between you two?" Han Qianluo asked gossipingly, she really couldn't be blamed for being too gossip, who made Zhao Qin act like "we have a problem".

Zhao Qin lowered her head to make shoes in a disguised way, and didn't speak for a while, but after a pause, she replied: "I tell you, you can't tell others, especially don't let my father know."

"Okay, no problem." Han Qianluo agreed happily.

Zhao Qin stopped what she was doing, poked her head out and looked out of the yard, and said when she saw no one was there: "I like him, but my father disagrees, their family is too poor, they can't even get a bride price come out."

Faced with such a situation, Han Qianluo didn't know what to say. She probably understood Li Zheng's thoughts. After all, any parent would not want their children to marry such a poor family who couldn't even afford a dowry. , after all, life is still composed of ordinary daily necessities.

However, if it's not with the person you like, no matter how good your material life is, what's the point?So Han Qianluo thought for a while, and finally he could only say, "Let him come over tomorrow."

"Thank you, Qianluo." Zhao Qin said with a smile on her face. Her own affairs were settled, so she was concerned about the purpose of Qi Hanqianluo's coming here. "By the way, what are you looking for with my father, Qianluo?"

"I want to ask Lizheng if there are any free hills in our Qianyangli. I want to rent them out, or see if there is any wasteland." Han Qianluo said.

Zhao Qin was a little puzzled and asked: "What are you doing renting the hill? Do you want to plant fruit trees?"

"Instead of planting fruit trees, I plan to plant mulberry and hemp." Han Qianluo didn't hide anything, and he had nothing to hide.

Zhao Qin still didn't understand, she even stopped making shoes, looked at her and asked suspiciously: "Aren't there mulberry trees everywhere on the mountain, why do you want to plant them on purpose?"

"Too few." Han Qianluo shook her head and said, and then she expressed her worries: "Moreover, only if you rent it, can you plant trees on it at will, and you don't have to worry about others coming to cut it down, or what happens Gossip."

Zhao Qin shook her head and sighed, "What you think is really complicated."

Just as he was talking, Li Zheng came back from the outside.Seeing him coming back, Han Qianluo quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Lizheng, you are finally back."

"It's Qianluo, what can I do for you?" Li Zheng said and walked in.

Before Han Qianluo had time to speak, Zhao Qin who was on the side quickly said, "Qianluo wants to rent a few hills and wasteland."

"That's not a problem. How many mountains do you want?" Li Zheng asked as he walked into the house.

Han Qianluo didn't answer, but waited until Lizheng came out of the house with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone before saying, "Can you have as many mountains as you want?"

"We only have three mountains in Qianyangli, if there are too many, there will be nothing." Li Zheng said, and began to grind ink.

Han Qianluo was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't all the three mountains rented out?"

"No one is willing to rent the mountainous land, and you can't grow crops, so it's a waste of money." Li Zheng explained.

Han Qianluo thought for a while and asked, "Then I want to rent all three mountains for 20 years. Is there any problem?"

The matter of leasing the mountain land was done very quickly. Li Zheng wrote the lease documents, pressed his fingerprints, and signed them.After signing, Han Qianluo asked: "Uncle Lizheng, is there any uncultivated land in Qianyangli?"

"That's not the case. Now that the tax is so low, it can be said that there is no tax at all. Everyone is rushing to reclaim wasteland, and cultivated land is very popular now."

Han Qianluo was a little disappointed, but the result was expected, so he didn't have any other thoughts, thanked Lizheng and went back.

On the way home, Han Qianluo ran into his second aunt, Wang Shi, by accident.When Wang saw her, she smiled and said, "Qianluo, I was planning to go to your house to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way."

"Second Aunt, let's talk at home if you have anything to say." Han Qianluo said and continued to walk home.

Mrs. Wang quickly waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about it here. Just a few words. You told us how to extract vegetable oil. Now the business is really good, so I'm a little busy."

"Then what's the matter, second aunt, tell me." Han Qianluo stopped and said.

"Didn't your family have been receiving hemp all the time before, do you still need it now?" Wang asked.

Han Qianluo was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Of course I want it. Is Second Aunt still in your family?" Although she asked this way, she herself didn't believe this possibility.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "If my family still had it, I would have sold it to you a long time ago. Basically all the hemp in our Qianyangli has entered your house, and it is my elder brother's."

Han Qianluo hesitated for a moment. Those involving relatives are prone to suspicion. Although the relationship between her and this second aunt is not very good, Han Qianluo still does not want the relationship to continue to deteriorate. After all, they are all relatives. She still hopes to improve the relationship between each other, and at present, it seems that this second aunt is not a big evil person, just a philistine.

"What's the matter, is there any problem?" Seeing that she was silent, Wang asked worriedly.

Han Qianluo thought for a while, and said, "Second Aunt, let's go home and talk about this. It's not good to be heard outside."

"Okay, let's go to your house."

Han Qianluo felt that she was still not suitable for this kind of thing. She felt that her eldest brother was very good at this kind of thing, so after returning home, she hurriedly called Han Qingquan back to the next yard.

"Xiao Luo, what's the matter?" Han Qingquan came out and asked.

Han Qianluo briefly explained the matter: "The second aunt came over, and she said that her natal brother has hemp to sell to us, so go tell the second aunt."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to my second aunt." After Han Qingquan finished speaking, he turned and entered the yard, and then the sound of two people's conversation came from the yard.

Han Qianluo turned around and went to the yard to see how they were working. As soon as he walked in, he saw that a dozen people were working hard. Although they were still chatting and beating each other, they were also very serious about their work.

She just glanced at it, then left, and went back to the yard next door, just in time to hear Han Qingquan say: "Second Aunt, you also know the price we pay for hemp."

"Aquan, I know you are buying hemp, so I asked my brother to bring it over and sell it to you." Wang said with a frown.

Han Qianluo could guess a little bit of what she meant, probably hoping to raise the price a bit, but it was impossible, at least Han Qianluo was unwilling, so she interjected and said, "Second Aunt, whoever will If hemp is sold to us, the price is the same.”

Wang didn't speak, but her face seemed a little unhappy, so Han Qianluo could only turn her head to look at her elder brother.Han Qingquan received her help-seeking eyes, and said gently: "Second Aunt, Xiaoluo is right, the prices are the same, and our prices are all set according to the market prices, or even higher. A penny or two."

Mrs. Wang seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, looking very conflicted.Han Qingquan continued: "Second Aunt, if Third Uncle is willing to help us contact the purchase of Ma, we will pay him additional money, but the money is not very much, I just don't know if Uncle is willing or not?"

This third uncle is the elder brother of the second aunt's natal family, and is the third eldest, so Han Qianluo and the others also call him the third uncle.Although he called Uncle Three, Han Qianluo had seen this man less than one hand.

"How much money can I have? I can go back and ask him." Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had seen the money.

Han Qianluo thought for a while and said, "This is determined by the amount of hemp purchased. One hundred catties is ten Wen."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask him in a while." Wang said with a smile, and then left.

It wasn't until Mrs. Wang left that she could no longer see her, that Han Qingquan said, "Is the price too high?"

"Probably not." Han Qianluo was also a little uncertain, but everything was said, and that was all.

Han Qingquan continued to work, while Han Qianluo went to several mountains to see how the situation was.The three mountains are not connected together, but separated, and the distance between them is neither too far nor too close.

Han Qianluo planned to cut down all the other trees on the mountain except the mulberry tree, and then plant the mulberry tree. This kind of tree grows fast and is very suitable for making paper.

However, she did not intend to cut down all the trees on the mountain at once, but came step by step. First, she cut down the small trees on the mountain and planted new ones. Cut down the other tall trees little by little, but this requires manpower.
