Man Bao didn't care what her father said. She hadn't told him yet that she would provide them with wheat seeds.

She went directly to Bai Shan to discuss quietly, "Can your family provide all the wheat seeds?"

Bai Shandao said: "It shouldn't be a big problem. It's just the autumn harvest. This year, the drought near the capital has also affected Longzhou a little. Grandma must not have sold the harvested wheat."

So he should be able to collect several hundred acres of wheat seeds.

Bai Shan asked, "This is also a big deal. Why don't you tell Uncle Zhou?"

"Let's wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over," Man Bao said, "I want my dad to have a good festival."

Bai Shan thought about it. When they bring Wheat Seed over, Uncle Zhou will use it even if he is heartbroken.

Bai Shan turned around to discuss with his grandmother.

Mrs. Liu had already guessed that the three children had made a lot of money relying on the new wheat seeds. Now the new wheat seeds have basically become popular. The imperial court and even itself often distribute improved seeds to the people, and these rented seeds

But the people in Zhongtian are still using the old seeds they saved, and the children will definitely have to replace them.

Either buy it or make it yourself.

The former cost a lot, and the latter, Luojiang County was too far from Yongzhou, but Longzhou was not far away. It only took three or four days to go back and forth, so she guessed that they would get it from Longzhou.

Mrs. Liu was still very happy and said to Bai Shan: "This year there is a drought in the Gyeonggi area and there are floods in Shengzhou. I guessed that the price of food is going to rise, so I didn't sell the wheat harvested this summer. However, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated it properly.

At present, the price of grain in the capital is very stable. It rose by less than two cents some time ago, but now it has fallen back, so this wheat is a bargain for you."

Bai Shan immediately said with a smile: "Grandma, Manbao doesn't want us for nothing. He will return it to us next year after the harvest."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "I know, with the relationship between our two families, do we still need to be polite?"

She said: "I will ask Liu Gui to return to Longzhou tomorrow and ask him to escort the wheat seeds here. But I want to ask you, do you plan to turn this farm into a Zhuangzi like your small Zhuangzi?"

Bai Shan pondered for a moment and then said: "Grandma, farming is very hard. I think the principles of this world are very strange. The education I received and the books I read all tell me that land is very precious. Even the changes in dynasties are mostly due to land."

But I have calculated that the income from the land is not high, but everything in this world, no matter what, is inseparable from the land."

"A piece of Shu satin varies from five ounces of gold to a hundred gold. The difference is due to the silk and the people's craftsmanship. However, the mulberry leaves eaten by silkworms all come from the land. From the time of planting mulberry leaves, until

When Shu satin is worn on people, the wearer, the merchant who sells it, and even the craftsmen may become rich. Only the person who first raised silkworms and planted mulberries seems to remain poor. Why?"

Mrs. Liu:...how does she know why?

No, why should she think about such a problem?

Why does Shanbao think about such a problem?

When Mrs. Liu was about to speak, Bai Shan was already sitting at her feet and said: "But people who farm the land will not always be poor. Look at the long-term workers in our small village, how poor they were at the beginning."

He was so poor that he didn't even have a change of clothes, let alone a house, a wife and children.

As a result, it has only been a few years. Let alone clothes, I have a house, a wife, and children. Although two of the children are not my own, they are also adopted children, right?

Now there is no shortage of food and clothing, and they also have a share of the large chickens, ducks and geese raised in Zhuangzi. We cannot guarantee that they will always have meat to eat, but we can guarantee that they will always have eggs to eat, which is no worse than ordinary wealthy households.

"There is also Uncle Zhou's family. Life in Manbao's family was not very good before, but isn't it pretty good now?" Bai Shan said: "So the problem is not about farming, but about farming.

On people.”

"I'm thinking, how should I plant this land?"

Mrs. Liu:...She just asked a question.

Bai Shan continued to talk to his grandmother about his concerns, "My grandmother used to ask me to inherit my father's legacy, so I wanted to avenge my father and become an official like my father, but now I have a vague idea of ​​what I want to do in the future."

Mrs. Liu's heart immediately calmed down. She smiled and asked softly: "What do you want to do in the future?"

Bai Shan's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Just do this to make the world peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted his head, and said softly: "Go and rest."

Mrs. Liu waited for him to leave. Her mood could not be settled for a long time. After a while, she softly said to Aunt Liu: "This child has grown up."

Aunt Liu smiled and responded "Yes".

Man Bao and Bai Shan, who were hiding outside the window and eavesdropped, joined together, "So you want to convince Mrs. Liu like this?"

"This is obviously my intention."

Manbao was very confused, "But you told me during the Chinese New Year that Confucius had three aspirations, 'The old will be safe, the friends will believe in him, the young will cherish him'. If you have short ambitions, you will make a wish: 'The old will be safe, friends will trust in you'

'That's enough. It shows that your ambition has been set long ago. Why are you telling Grandma Liu now?"

Bai Shan tapped her nose and said, "You don't care, just wait for the wheat seeds from Longzhou to arrive."

Man Bao wrinkled his nose and snorted: "He is really a treacherous person."

However, she did not go to Mrs. Liu to expose him, because it was late at night, so the two of them went to wash up and go to bed. Early the next morning, they went to the other two miles to see the remaining more than 100 acres of land.

.

In fact, they are almost connected together, but these more than 100 acres of land happen to be within the scope of the other two miles, so they are under the control of the other li chief. Manbao showed them the list, which confirmed the scope of the occupation field.

Then we went to Pucun.

After thinking about it all night, the people in Pucun all agreed to Manbao's request, and then began to wait anxiously for the rent.

Manbao himself breathed a sigh of relief quietly, then pretended to have expected it, took the book box from Daji, opened it directly, and took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from inside, "In that case, we will register today.

, Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is having a good festival. Tomorrow we will start preparing the fields to plant wheat."

The head of the neighborhood quickly took over for everyone, and then had people bring tables and chairs out from home to make them for them.

Man Bao said while grinding the ink: "I have read the documents and it turns out that my thousand acres of farmland, including the more than one hundred acres at the farthest point, were previously rented and farmed by people from your village?"

The director smiled and responded "Yes", "This is also the request of the Yamen, otherwise it will be difficult to collect rent if they are separated."

That's why he was worried. He didn't want to take care of the farm. If he couldn't pay the rent, he, as the district chief, would be held accountable.
