The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 355
The housekeeper Gu said he had no objection, opened the package he brought over, took out 100 taels of silver, and handed it to the nearby official in charge of land sales.

Master Zhang was excited in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.What Bai Xianfu left for Mr. Yu is basically an empty shell. Their current situation is that the Qingshui Yamen is even worse than the Qingshui Yamen.Now that he accidentally sold the wasteland, he can collect 870 five taels of silver at once, and the days of tightening his belt are finally coming to an end.

Master Zhang walked with the wind, and quickly arranged for the official messenger to measure the wasteland, and followed him personally. Together with the official messenger, he wanted to accompany Gu Steward to the barren slopes and wasteland.The current Kangxi town yamen is poor, and the county assistant master himself is also poor, so the yamen has no means of transportation for long-distance travel.

The housekeeper Gu noticed it, and returned to the mansion to hand over the silver and bank notes on his body to Qing Shu, and asked someone to set up a carriage to pick him up in front of the Yamen.He invited Master Zhang and the four officials into the carriage, and he got in last.The coachman flicked his whip and set off with a carload of people.

The group of them failed to make it back that day, and only returned to the town at the next day.The measurement results came out.The barren slope between Sunjia Village and Fengjia Village covers 110 67 mu.The wasteland from Fengjia Village to the north to the border of Liangzhou is [-] mu, and there are countless small hills attached to it.

According to what was agreed in advance, the yamen did not add money, and the deal was still done according to the original agreement of 870 taels of silver.After the land deeds of the two places were completed, Qing Shu asked Steward Gu to write her name on the land deeds.Other industries in the ancient mansion are all written with Qingyang's name.Therefore, this is Qingshu's first personal property in ancient times.In the eyes of outsiders, it is not wise for Qingshu to buy these two lands.

Qingshu got her own deed paper, first showed it to Qingyang, and then put it away.

Qingyang blinked and asked, "Sister, do you want to plant fruit trees?"

Qingshu expressed her thoughts, "No, it's not wise to plant all the fruit trees, because we don't know whether it is suitable for fruit trees to grow there. When spring comes, we can plant as many fruit trees as we can buy. But , I don’t think there are many. The fruit saplings we bought can be planted on [-] to [-] acres of land. Let’s see first. If the survival rate is good and the seedlings grow well, we will continue to plant them in the second year.”

Qingyang asked with interest, "If it grows well, will it be planted in the third or fourth year?"

"Yes, it grows well, can bear fruit, and the fruit is delicious, which means that it is suitable for fruit trees to grow there. At that time, we will continue to plant and plant an orchard of three to four hundred acres."

"Then, there is still a lot of land left, do you want to plant corn and wheat?"

Qing Shu blinked, "My sister is going to grow peppers."

Qingyang shrank his neck immediately, thinking of the spicy cabbage fried by his sister a few days ago, he still had lingering fears.

Qing Shu covered her mouth and snickered.Next year, she will grow more chili peppers. Chili peppers are a good condiment for cooking, and she is still earning money from them.A place where no food grows does not mean no vegetables grow.She will make good use of the land she bought next year.Since it is not a saline-alkali land and the vegetation grows luxuriantly, turning it over twice will increase enough fertility, and it will not be a problem to grow vegetables.Perhaps, when the soil quality improves, it can be turned into a fertile field for growing grain.

To transform the wasteland, the initial investment will be huge.However, no matter how much she invested, she didn't spend the money she had earned so hard, so she didn't feel distressed at all.

There were hurried footsteps in the yard.Qing Shu locked the box and took the key with her.

The ones who came in were Xiaojuan and Lily of the Valley.

Xiaojuan was very excited, "Miss, Miss, Guard Du and Guard Luo are back. They bought a lot of things and packed four carriages. Miss, how much money did you give them? I guess they must have given Miss I had to come back when my money was spent.”

Qing Shuming knew what was going on, but couldn't say it out.Therefore, I prepared another statement, "How much money does this lady give them, I want you to ask! Hurry up and inform the kitchen to prepare hot meals for them. They have been away for seven or eight days, and it is freezing outside. Braving the severe cold to inquire about and purchase the items listed on the 'Purchase List', and have to travel a long way back. At this moment, they may be so tired!"

Xiaojuan has always been straightforward, and immediately imagined the scene Qingshu described, thinking that Du Zhongxia and Luo San were cold and hungry, and that Du Zhongxia and Luo San were going to be exhausted and paralyzed soon.So, she said seriously, "Miss, this servant is going to inform the kitchen to prepare hot meals and boil water for them."

Qing Shu smiled, "Okay, go quickly."

Xiaojuan walked out, but before going out, she remembered something again, and she turned around and asked, "Miss, do you want to warm a pot of good wine for Guard Du and Guard Luo?"

Qing Shu criticized, "Well, don't heat one pot, but heat two pots. Eat and drink enough, let them have a good sleep to relieve fatigue." The two of them are great contributors, in this freezing season Running around doing errands for her.Now that people are back, they have to rest for a few days before they can work hard.

In the front yard, Steward Gu did not ask people to unload the goods in the front yard as before, but led the way in front and brought the four carriages directly to the warehouse door.

For the four carriages full of goods, there were only two drivers, namely Du Zhongxia and Luo San.They hitched the horses in the second cart to the rear lip of the first cart; the horses in the third cart were hitched to the rear lip of the second; The horse in the carriage, hitched to the rear edge of the third carriage.In this way, the four carriages came together, Du Zhongxia was driving in the first carriage, and Luo San was in the fourth carriage to take care of the goods.

In this way, the two of them drove the four carriages from Jinyang City back to Kangxi Town.They had been traveling with the passing caravan along the way, so they didn't attract the attention of others because only two people were in charge of the four carriages.

When unloading the cargo, Steward Gu didn't call too many people, he only called Gu Yuanhe, Gu Yuanbao and Ding Jiabao.Du Zhongxia and Luo San stood on both sides of the first carriage, untied the ropes that fixed the sheet, worked together, unwrapped the sheet from one end, and rolled it up to put it away.

At this time, Gu Yuanhe, Gu Yuanbao and Ding Jiabao stepped forward and carried the bags on the cart to the warehouse one by one.

The first three cars were loaded with bagged goods.Some of these bags are heavy and some are slightly lighter.For the lighter ones, Gu Yuanhe and Ding Jiabao will hand them over to Gu Yuanbao; for the heavy ones, Gu Yuanhe and Ding Jiabao will carry them together, and Gu Yuanbao, who is growing up, will not be allowed to touch them.The fourth cart was loaded with baskets, barrels, brooms, hoes, shovels, pickaxes, and sickles... all kinds of things were loaded, and the cart was full.

Seeing that there were farm tools in the car, the butler Gu opened the door of another warehouse beside him, "Put these farm tools, baskets and barrels, over here."
