Bai Shan was curious, "What is the price of rice in the Longzhou grain store now?"

"The second-grade rice costs seven cents per dou, and the top-grade rice costs eight cents per dou. The next first-grade rice only costs six cents, which is quite cheap."

The corner of Bai Shan's mouth curled up slightly, "Although the price of rice is low, and it looks like you can earn about the same as in previous years, in fact, prices have dropped and money is more valuable than before, so everyone still makes some money."

"Moreover, the price of rice is low, so people will be more willing to eat porridge and rice. You can add less bran and beans..."

When the old man heard this, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes. Now our family eats dry food twice a day. During the busy farming season, we can eat dry food for three meals. Life is much better than before."

He paused and then saluted Bai Shan, "The clan leaders said that this is all the work of Uncle Shan. Uncle Shan's family planted this rice seed, and the new rice seeds in the clan were also sent back by the fourth room. We

I have always wanted to kowtow to Uncle Shan, but no one from the fourth room has come back..."

Although the other party was junior, he was so old. How could Bai Shan dare to accept his courtesy? He quickly stretched out his hand to support the person, "This new rice seed was grown by my wife's clan. I am just taking advantage of it just like you."

"Then when the aunt from the fourth room comes back, I will bring the children to kowtow at the door."

Zhou Man would have been frightened to death. As soon as she returned to Longzhou, there were so many people kowtowing to her. The old man with a gray beard even called her aunt.

Bai Shan couldn't help but feel happy just thinking about it.

When it comes to farming, none of the Bai family's descendants who came with Bai Shan understood it at all, so they were able to get in on the conversation between Bai Shan and the farmers at first, but later they could only listen.

Bai Shan patted his robe and stood up, "This land is well planted, but I think the canal only leads to this side. Looking at the terrain, we can open another canal at the other end to connect it to the upstream. In this way, the irrigation of that field will also be improved."

There will be no problem, and the water canal can be circulated and divided into three parts directly, but all three parts have water and can be taken care of."

When his old nephew heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, my family also has two fields over there. The harvest is not as good as here because the irrigation can't keep up, but this canal..."

Bai Shan smiled and looked at Bai Shen, "Cousin Shen, I think we can send someone to investigate after the autumn harvest. There are many people in the clan, so it is not difficult to build a canal."

"Well, if I can pay 10,000 yuan to repair the canal, it will also benefit the clan members."

When Bai Shen heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Then our eldest family will contribute 20,000 yuan. Don't worry, good cousin. When the autumn harvest is over, I will start to organize the children of the clan to repair water conservancy."

Regarding Bai Shan's proposal, the Bai clan members were relieved and happy, "He is finally willing to intervene in clan affairs. You should keep this in mind and handle it well. When it is done, tell him and let him know about the clan affairs."

He is valued here."

"After the first time, there will be a second and a third time," one person said: "Once he goes back and forth, once he has developed feelings for the clan, it will be easier to find him again in the future."

The Bai family always felt that they couldn't catch Bai Shan because he basically had no contact with the clan and he basically didn't care about the clan's affairs.

All matters that came to their fourth room were handled by Mrs. Liu on her behalf.

Although the money and effort required for the fourth house have been spent, Bai Shan, the head of the house, is inattentive, which makes them feel that the fourth house is in vain.

When Si Fang was weak, it didn't matter. Everyone focused on his family property; but as Si Fang became stronger, compared to those family properties, the interests behind Bai Shan were naturally more important.

Bai Shan naturally knew this too. For three days in Longzhou, he dealt with so many people hypocritically every day, and his head almost became dizzy.

So when leaving, he took the carriage directly.

In the car, he rubbed his forehead and said to Daji who was sitting outside: "It's really more of a headache than the government affairs in the court."

Daji smiled and said: "It's mainly because Lang doesn't like it. I just need to come back less often in the future."

Bai Shan nodded, "I'll bring my children back next year to worship our ancestors. It's a pity that my father is in Longzhou, otherwise..."

He will definitely come back less often.

Although he was dizzy from the trip to Longzhou, Bai Shan still brought back many gifts for Zhou Man and the others.

"They are all specialties from Longzhou. I asked my servants to buy them. See if you like them."

Yin Ming had never been to Longzhou, so he looked through it most carefully. He picked some things he had never seen before and gave them to Changshou and asked: "I heard that there is a Puhua Temple in Longzhou that is very efficacious. Have you been there?"

"No," Bai Shan looked up at him and asked, "What, you want to go?"

Yin You was about to move in his heart, "If you say I go out to Beijing alone, will my family agree?"

Bai Shan pointed at him and smiled: "Yin You, you are getting more and more wild now." He turned to look at Zhou Man and asked her, "What do you think?"

Zhou Man thought about it seriously and then said: "Master Yin... will probably agree. If you don't agree, you can also go and beg. What matters is the old lady in your house. I don't think she will agree."

of."

"Then I quietly leave the city and kill first and then show off?" Yin You secretly glanced at Liu Huan.

Liu Huan, who rarely had free time, almost choked when he saw it. He swallowed the fruit in his mouth and then said: "I can cut it first and show it later, but you definitely can't."

Liu Huandao: "If you leave the city, Lord Yin will definitely know about it soon. Can the Yin Mansion's fast horse catch up with your carriage?"

You must know that the entire capital city is under the control of Yin Li. Unless Zhou Man and Bai Shan invite him, Yin Hui will not leave the city once a year. If he goes out of the city alone, it will take Yin Li less than two quarters of an hour to find out.

Zhou Man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Please be patient and patient. Mrs. Yin is not in good health. Don't be angry with her at this time."

If his anger comes out, Yin might not regret it until he dies?

Zhou Man rolled his eyes and whispered: "If you really want to travel, will you follow us when we return to our hometown next year?"

Yin Youyi moved, but said: "Isn't this good? Is it inconvenient?"

"No," Zhou Man said, "As long as you don't find it inconvenient."

Bai Shan also nodded, "There will be many people going back by then, and you won't be too many. It's just that I may not be able to take good care of them."

Yin You said with a smile: "What's the point? I can even go to the Western Region, but I can't go to Jiannan Road?"

With hope in mind, Yin You became faintly excited and said goodbye to a few people, "I'll go back and prepare first."

"Wait a minute," Bai Shan exclaimed, "There's still a year left, why are you so anxious?"

Bai Erlang said: "He is really wild. Ever since he came back from Qingzhou, it has been difficult for him to stay at home."

A year is neither too short nor too long. At least in the eyes of Zhou Man and Bai Shan, it passes very quickly. Because they are so busy, it feels like they haven't spent much time in a year, and the days go by in a blink of an eye.

.

As soon as the ghost month passed in the second year, Bai Shan and Zhou Man applied for family leave at a reduced rate. They also took into account the vacations they had accumulated in the past two years, and took a total of fifty days of family leave.
