Chapter 339 High Yield Wheat

Not only people from Liujia Village came to invite people, but even several surrounding villages also came to invite people, and the scope of business continued to expand.In just one spring, Liu Zhijiang and others earned more than ten taels of silver.

On this day, old man Liu started to buy various materials, and with his second son, the youngest son began to prepare to build a house at home.As for the hog work, all of it was handed over to Liu Zhijiang, and he went to a few more houses. Although he was busy, he also saved manpower.

The old house was built solidly before, if it was demolished, not only would there be no place to live, but it would also be a pity, so the old man Liu directly bought a large piece of land next door with the village chief, and used it to build houses one after another.

"This is also very good. We bought all the empty places near our house and built a house for our three sons in the future. We don't need to demolish the old house, and we don't need to borrow places to live in." Mrs. Liu said, watching the materials being delivered. Come and have a good day.

Old man Liu also nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, our house is in the east of the village, and it is also the closest to the back mountain. There is a large piece of land here, and there are small stones in it, which are not suitable at all. Planting land and buying it back as a homestead is just right and cheap.”

In the end, Liu Yiyi's family bought a seven-acre homestead for a couple of dollars.

The barren land in the countryside is worthless, so you can buy a large piece of land with a little money.

In the summer, there were fewer piggies, and the materials for the family were bought. Old man Liu took his three sons and started building a house.

"Grandma, why didn't we find someone to build the house?" Liu Yiyi sighed when she saw her grandfather, father, and brothers stepping on the mud wall.

How tiring this is!
Granny Liu touched her little granddaughter's head, and said softly, "It costs at least fifteen yuan a day to hire someone to work, and you also need to take care of the food. It costs a lot of money in a day.

There are not many other things in our family, but there are many people.Your grandfather took your father, uncle, and a few older brothers to work to save wages.

In addition, not all the houses we build are brick houses, and it is not worth hiring people. We just work slowly like this, and we are not in a hurry to live anyway.If there is work in the field, work in the field; if there is no work in the field, build a house. "

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi suddenly realized.

The family is really hard, but it is precisely because of this that the family business can be slowly accumulated.

There are four elder brothers in the family who are over ten years old, and the rest are seven or eight, five or six years old. They are too young to do heavy work, so they do what they can.

The children of the peasant family took charge of the family early, not because they didn't want to play, but because of the pressure of life, they had to be ignorant earlier.

In April, the courtyard with five main rooms and four side rooms on each side finally took shape.

Everyone is smiling. Even though they are tanned and thinner, everyone is very happy to see such a nice house.

We haven't rested here yet, and we're starting to harvest wheat again.

When sowing wheat seeds last year, it was necessary to soak the wheat in water. At that time, Liu Yiyi put ice bamboo spring water in the water for soaking the wheat seeds, so the wheat growth this year is also very good, and the grains are full.

Everyone in the village came to see the wheat at Old Man Liu's house. Not only were the grains full, but there were also many grains on the ears, and they matured early.

His family's wheat fields have all matured, while other people's wheat has just begun to mature.

So when Old Man Liu's house harvested wheat, all the people in the village came to pay attention, and even came to help, wanting to see how much such good wheat could save this acre of land.

After the 420 mu of wheat was harvested, dried in the sun, and then weighed, one mu of land weighed [-] catties, which was [-]% more than the previous year's harvest.

Many people hold the wheat from Liu Yiyi's family. The color of this wheat is lighter than that of the previous ones. When you bite into it, the core of the wheat is white and snowy. The flour that is ground must be white and powdery.

These people immediately wanted to buy wheat from Old Man Liu's house as seeds, and Old Man Liu would not refuse anyone from the village, and at a normal price.

Wheat costs four cents a catty, and almost every household in Liujia Village buys it.Even if it doesn't reach Old Man Liu's 420 jin per mu of land, it can still be [-]% more than in previous years, after all, the seeds are so good.

After the busy wheat has been harvested, taxation begins.

One mu of land was handed over one hundred catties of wheat, and old man Liu brought his son and grandson to hand over two thousand catties of wheat.

When Liu Zhihe carried the wheat out and poured it into the vat, the person in charge of inspecting the wheat was quite surprised, "Your wheat is growing well and the grains are full."

"It's all thanks to the blessings of God and the county magistrate. The weather is good and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so there is such a good harvest." Liu Zhijiang often went out to work in the past, so he spoke nicely.

The yamen servant also laughed a few times when he heard Liu Zhijiang's words, "You are very knowledgeable! Your family's grain is the best wheat I have ever seen. I will put it aside for your family alone! Maybe the county magistrate will see it. Yes, there are rewards!"

"We don't dare to think about rewards. We only want to pay the taxes, and we can feel at ease!" Liu Zhijiang said with a smile.

Wang Yamen smiled, nodded and asked again: "Your family is so full of wheat, the yield per mu of land should be very high, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhijiang nodded happily, "Yes, the output is very high, much more than in previous years, with an output of 420 catties per mu!"

"Ah? I've never heard of such a high yield in our Meiling County. Could it be that you lied to me?" After hearing this, Wang Yamen was quite surprised. His family also had dozens of mu of land, and it was That kind of good field, one mu of land can lift three hundred catties to the sky.

But the wheat yield of this farmer is so high.

"We are farmers, and we come here every year to compare grain taxes. You are responsible for it, you are an acquaintance. You can find out if I am lying or not." Liu Zhijiang said with a smile.

Patriarch Liu lined up behind Liu Zhijiang's house to pay the grain tax. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't lie to your lord, we belong to the same village and are the patriarchs of the Liu clan. At that time, his family's wheat was better than the rest of us's." It matures seven or eight days early.

We all watched the harvest at his house, and I even went to help myself.After the threshed wheat was dried, I personally watched the weighing, and harvested [-] catties of grain on [-] acres of land. "

Hearing this, Wang Yamen believed it for five minutes, and suddenly felt that this was a very good opportunity, so he said with a smile: "Then I will go to your house to see it when I have time. If this is the case, I will also buy some wheat seeds."

"Hehe, everyone in our village bought wheat seeds from his family. Even if it can't reach more than 400 catties, it can be more than 300 catties, which is very good." Patriarch Liu said with a smile, this is their heart talk.

At the same time, Patriarch Liu also hoped that the servants of the Wang Yamen would not care too much about the yield per mu of [-] catties, maybe the yield would not be high next year!
