The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 103

"Brother Shi, you are really good, no, it's you, your wife is really good!!!" Fu Quan smiled and patted Fu Shi's shoulder vigorously, more excited than He Tao at the beginning: "We have to worship our ancestors!" Go! Your father and mother, the graves of our ancestors must be repaired, and we also want to build an ancestral hall, just like the families with the three surnames in the village, so that the ancestors will know that our old Fu’s family has also become a big family!"

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle..." Fu Shi said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's not good for people to know about this!"

"What's wrong with letting people know?!" Fu Quan stared and said, "You didn't steal your money, you earned it honestly, why can't you see people?!"

Fu Quan walked around the room excitedly, feeling as if he was stepping on cotton. Although he didn't earn the money, and he wouldn't ask for a piece of it, but who is Fu Shi, he is his own nephew!For the Fu family to have such a promising descendant, he really will die in peace!

"Second Uncle..." Fu Shi called out helplessly.

"What are you doing? This big thing can't make me happy, happy!" Fu Quan turned back to Fu Shi, patted him a few more times before saying, "Don't worry, Second Uncle knows it well. If the wealth is not revealed, isn’t this just happiness, I can’t think about it yet!”

Fu Quan was happy enough, so Fu Shi told him about the new property purchase plan.

"I have discussed it with my wife and plan to buy some more fertile land."

"Well, it's good to buy land! Whenever you buy land, you won't lose money!" Fu Quan also agreed with his plan.

"It just so happened that Uncle Luo had a Zhuangzi in his hand, and the asking price was not too much, exactly 1 taels. He said that Zhuangzi had a total of twelve good farmlands, so I figured it out, and I told him that I will go over there tomorrow to have a look. If you are free, come with me and help me check."

Fu Quan glanced at him and said, "You haven't warmed up the money yet, and you took it all out?"

Fu Shi rubbed his head and said, "Anyway, we don't need cash in a hurry, and it's useless to keep the money at home. We haven't touched the money that sells hot sauce on the Internet, and the bonuses in the shop are enough! "

"That's true too! Cheng, I'll go with you tomorrow!"

He Tao pinched his fingers and looked at the sky and calculated silently in his heart: "The annual output of one mu of good land is two stones of wheat in May, and two stones of rice in September. The wheat is 8 Wen per catty, and the rice is 10 Wen per catty. One mu of land is a year. Get 4320 renminbi, excluding 3888% of the agricultural tax, a net of 100 renminbi per mu of land. 1200 mu for one plot, 4665600 mu for 4665.6 plots, Zhuangzi’s annual net profit is [-], which is [-] taels in silver!"

"How much?" Fu Shi was taken aback. There are 600 taels a year, and all of them will be paid back in less than three years!
He Tao also felt that it was too much, so he ran to find a pen and paper to calculate again, and then said with certainty: "There is no mistake in the calculation, it is four thousand six hundred and sixty-five taels of silver!"

"Why are there so many?" The couple were lost in thought, the pie was too big, it was a bit unreal!
"Are you saying you are a liar?" He Tao asked Fu Shi.

"Where are you lying?" Fu Shi shook his head. Everyone knows about the per mu yield and agricultural tax, so there is no point in cheating!

"However, with such a good income, why would anyone be willing to sell it?" He Tao bit the tip of his pen and didn't think of anything.

"Oh! I got it!" Fu Shi patted the table and said, "Silly daughter-in-law, you forgot to count the rent! We can't grow it ourselves, can we?"

He Tao patted his head, and said annoyedly: "Oh, it's true, I'm so stupid, wait, I'll do the math again! According to the division method for the Liu family, half of the tax after paying is Ours, that is to say, we have, 330 taels of silver a year! If there are no floods, droughts, bugs, etc..."

Fu Shi still couldn't believe the result - two thousand three hundred taels a year is still too much!
After He Tao dug up the records of Yunshui Village and read them one by one, he came to a conclusion that there was indeed so much income!In the past year and a half, they had once encountered a disaster, and they also earned 12 taels or three dollars, but the land in Yunshui Village was reclaimed land, and the output was only about [-]% of that of good land.

"Farming the land makes so much money, why haven't I seen anyone in the village get rich!" He Tao sighed with emotion.

Fu Shi smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, you are stupid again, which household in the village has surplus food!"

He Tao also felt that he was stupid, and there was no family in the village with a per capita area of ​​more than ten acres!
For example, the second house of Fu's family has four acres of paddy fields and eight acres of dry land, and the annual income is enough to barely feed the family. If it wasn't for Fu Shi's land in his hands, he might have lived like the He family all year round. They are all half-starved, so how can there be any surplus food!

Farmers with a decent living can save only one or two taels a year, and it takes four to five years to save enough money to buy an acre of fertile land.

And the field is the root of the farmers, and no one is willing to sell the land unless it is a last resort—rather than selling their wives and daughters, no one is willing to sell the land!When there is really no way to sell, it is rare to sell several acres together. It is just an emergency to sell one or two acres first.

People who have saved enough silver have no place to buy it, unless they are lucky and just in time!Many people would rather go to open up wasteland to gamble on their luck than wait aimlessly.

"It can only be said that we are very lucky to have met this Zhuangzi! Second uncle saw that we bought land happily, and he also planned to buy two. It just so happened that this time Luo Yazi still had two fertile lands for sale. Two Uncle is probably on his way to see the land right now!" Fu Shi said with some pride, his wife is really smart, even the second uncle listened to her advice!
"Second uncle also buys land?" He Tao said immodestly: "That's right, you will never lose money buying land and shops!"

He Tao kept in mind the wise words of his previous life, even if the land prices here would not skyrocket like in the sky, at least they would not lose money.

He Tao talked too much, what she didn't know was that a year later, the land price in this area would plummet for some irresistible reason!
However, this is also a year later, so let her be happy!
The next day, early in the morning, Fu Shi and He Tao sent the twins to the second room and entrusted them to the female family members of the second room. The two of them drove an ox cart to the town and picked up Fu Quan and Luo Baocheng, who was waiting impatiently. , and drove together toward Daoxiang Village—the Zhuangzi for sale.

Luo Baocheng was indeed not lying. When Fu Shi and the others arrived there, they immediately fell in love with it!
More than 1000 mu of land can't be seen at the end. A big river in the middle divides Zhuangzi into two parts, which are divided into two parts by narrow field ridges. .

Walking along the big river in the middle, there is a sandy land. The sandy land is rented to a melon farmer in the next village all the year round, and there are still sparse melon vines in the geography.After crossing the sandy land, there is a reed marsh, and through the reed marsh is a large shallow lake, about ten mu.

This place is also leased to the nearby villagers all the year round, and it is full of lotus roots. At first glance, it has a somewhat artistic conception of "connecting the sky with endless green lotus leaves".

“This place is great!”

"really not bad!"

"worth to buy!"

After the visit, the three of them, Fu and Shi, were full of praise. The fields are all fertile and the irrigation facilities are complete. Which prodigal son would be willing to sell such a property!

Luo Baocheng told them secretly: "The owner of this village is also a well-known and well-known family in our area. His surname is Hu, and he lives in a town next door, Jinhuai Town. The young master of the Hu family is studying in Fucheng, so he offended him for some reason. A senior official there lost a lot of money, and the senior official still kept making trouble for them, and he was relentless, so he had no choice but to move out with his family in order to avoid disaster, and that's why he wanted to sell Zhuangzi!"

"Then if we buy this Zhuangzi, will we offend that high official?" He Tao asked worriedly.

She only wanted to invest to make money, but she never thought of getting into trouble!
"That's right, the high official is so unreasonable and forced the Hu family to leave their hometown, will he cause trouble for us?" Fu Quan was also very worried.

Luo Baocheng wished he could slap himself twice—to make you the fastest, say anything!He hurriedly explained: "You think too much, and it's not you who offended the person. The troublemakers have all left, so why do you want to find you! Besides, if it wasn't for the Hu family who was in a hurry to leave, how could this kind of place be willing? Selling it, and selling it at this price, there is really no such shop in this village!"

"Or..." He Tao still felt a little scared. This is not a society ruled by law, where the power is too powerful. She turned her head and asked Fu Shi, "Let's go home and make a total calculation before making a decision?"

"I don't think it's a big deal. Hu's family is about to move out. Can that senior official keep talking about it?" Fu Shi was quite open-minded.

It was rare for Fu Shi to make a decision arbitrarily, and He Tao was unwilling to refute him, so he turned to look at Fu Quan.

"It's still a bit too risky!" Fu Quan obviously didn't agree. Like He Tao, he belonged to the moderate school.

Seeing that they disagreed, Luo Bao knew that this business would definitely not be able to be done today, so he said: "Why don't you go home and think about it, and give me an answer within three days. Let the other tooth shops sell it!"

"Okay, then let's go back first!" He Tao pulled up Fu Shi's sleeve, and looked back at this Zhuangzi. It's really a good place, but it's a pity that she can't have it!
The three of them walked back to the village, got into the bullock cart and drove home.

Not long after driving out, I saw a carriage coming from the opposite side.The village road was so narrow that there was no room for two cars. Fu Shi hurriedly drove the car to the open space on the side, and returned to the village road after the carriage passed by.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, the carriage turned around and chased after him.

"The ones in front, are you here to see Zhuangzi? Stop, stop!"

Fu Shi stopped the car, and the carriage also stopped. A young man got out of the carriage, walked up to the ox cart and said, "Please meet your master!"

"..." Fu Shi looked at the man in darkness and said nothing.

He Tao let out a "puchi" laugh, the person who came here thought the stone was a coachman!
Fu Quan also laughed, and bent out of the car shed, followed by He Tao and Luo Baocheng.

"Mister is here to see Zhuangzi?" the young man asked, wiping off his sweat.Fu Quan paid great attention to his appearance when he went out, and followed suit by making silk robes that the shopkeepers in the town loved to wear. Among them, he was the only one who looked like a rich man!

"Yes." Seeing that Fu Shi and He Tao were not willing to speak, Fu Quan nodded and asked, "You are?"
