Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

"Nonsense!" Zhang Lizheng glared in the direction where the sound was made, and said with anger: "This kind of seed didn't fall from the sky. Can you not ask for money? This is already a very cheap price! By the way, it's the autumn harvest. At that time, taxes collected on this half of the land will be half less than that of crops, which is considered the court's generosity!"

When everyone heard that they were asking for money, they began to talk about it. They heard that taxes would be reduced by half. Instead of being happy, they became more worried. Worrying about this kind of thing is not a gadget!

Think about it, otherwise the court would be willing to collect less taxes?

"Zhang Lizheng, if someone is willing to help others to plant, can this work?" Lian Fangzhou asked loudly.

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, looking at Lian Fangzhou like a joke, wondering if this big girl from the Lian family was stupid, who would be willing to help others to grow it?Wish to throw it all at other people's homes!

Zhang Lizheng also stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "As long as it is voluntary by both parties, of course there is no problem!"

Lian Fangzhou let out an "Oh" and asked, "Then the government has sent someone to teach us how to grow it?"

"No!" Zhang Lizheng said: "But planting something, who of us farmers don't understand? Where else do we need someone from the government to guide so troublesome!"

Lian Fangzhou suddenly realized that he didn't say much.

In fact, the court originally planned to send someone down to give pointers, but these seeds are rare and few can be planted, and this trial planting is an errand that the governor of the southwest has taken initiative to please the prince, in order to show There are so many local talents. Of course, they refuse to let the court send people down. Isn't it just farming?Isn’t the new seed also a seed, just sow it in the ground, care for it, fertilize and water it, isn’t it enough?

What's more, it's just a trial planting. If it fails, there are reasons to explain it, such as unsuitable water and soil, unsuitable climate, etc.

In a word, unsuccessful, the attitude is positive and sincere; and if it succeeds, it is a great achievement!

"Okay, okay! That's it! Don't forget to go to my house and pick up the seeds when you look back! Don't forget!" Zhang Lizheng finished speaking, walking down and waving his hand: "It's all gone!"

Everyone talked and broke up.

"As far as she can, the shit doesn't make sense! Don't be afraid of making jokes!" Lian Fangzhou heard Qiao's not far behind and had a good air.

She and Lian Ze looked at each other, smiled slightly to Lian Ze, and left together without Qiao's accent.

"Don't worry about this, wait a few days to see what the villagers do and let's do it again!" Gradually walking away, seeing no one around, Aunt Zhang said this to Lian Fangzhou.

Lian Fangzhou was taken aback. Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she knew that Aunt Zhang would never harm her, so she responded with a smile.Say goodbye to each other.

Lian Ze said: "Sister, Aunt Zhang is right. Don't look at what Lizheng said just now. I think he has a headache. Few people will take the initiative to get the seeds! Look, if the big guys don’t get it, we won’t get it either!"

This is... the law does not blame the public?

Lian Fangzhou was relieved after thinking about it, this is nothing else, it's a land grab with the big guy!This is nothing short of death. Who can stand it?

However, this also just shows that her opportunity has come!She asked Zhang Lizheng those two sentences, not plainly.

Others don't know what potatoes and cotton are, but she knows!That's really a good thing!

Potatoes are no more, but cotton, as long as it is planted for one season, not to mention the high-quality cotton cloth and cotton yarn, just used to make cotton clothes and quilts, it is enough to make a fortune!

This cotton is not something you can do by planting seeds in the soil and taking care of it. The most important thing is topping, and unless someone knows it, ordinary farmers would not think of doing this.

In addition, how to care during planting, when is the best time to pick cotton, and how to deal with it after picking it back are also very particular.

Lian Fangzhou returned home with great excitement, and gradually calmed down, then a little discouraged.

Because she did not have enough silver.

The opportunity is rare. She is sure that in the next year, everyone will see the benefits of cotton. Then what will she use to compete with the rich?She can only seize the opportunity!

To seize the opportunity, seeds and technology are not enough, the most important thing is land and people!

If you want land, you have to buy it, and you have to hire someone.

In her opinion, it is not safe to hire people. It is best to buy a few honest and willing ones through the teeth, so as to ensure that the technology is not stolen so quickly.

It's just that, so many more people want to eat and place to live...

This account is not known, I was shocked!

In short, Lian Fangzhou understands that it is impossible for her, Lian Ze, and A Jian to make enough of this money to burn charcoal.

Lian Fangzhou sighed softly, give up?She is really unwilling, there will be no such shop after passing this village!

There is only one chance.

Lian Fangzhou originally planned to try to borrow money.But after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.

No one is willing to lend her hundreds or thousands of silver. As a mortgage, their family is here, and there is nothing that can be pledged.

So, can you try to partner with someone?The landlords of Shangcun Zhou, Zhujiazhuang Zhuyuanwai, Caizhu Li of Shiwan, and Wangyuanwai of the village are all rich people.

Lian Fangzhou knows that hope is very slim, but she really doesn't want to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if there is a one-tenth chance, she must try it.

But the result was terrible.These people, the rich man, politely refused, and let her go without waiting for her to finish speaking, and some even didn't see her at all!

Without exception, these people looked at her like a fool, and felt that even this big girl was crazy!

Lian Fangzhou even went to the Zhao family in the county town to see Zhao Rujun.As she thought, Zhao Rujun, a woman who took over the business at home, didn't have to work at all. She was a strange woman. Maybe she saw something different from others!

But even Fangzhou didn't see Zhao Rujun. Magpie saw her when she came. Magpie directly stopped the concierge who was going to report to the lady, and ordered the concierge to send her away.She also yelled towards her back: "What is the matter, she doesn't take a mirror to look at herself, so she dare to come to our lady in a magnificent manner! Our lady is the one who meets her casually! Not ashamed or ashamed!"

There was really no way, Lian Fangzhou had to do things with the money in his hands.

She did a little calculation. This winter, burning charcoal can earn 60 to 70 taels. In addition, when the Yang family retires and spends more than a dozen taels left over from their relatives and nearly a dozen mushrooms from selling mushrooms, Lin Lin always makes about 90 taels.

Thirty taels are left for next year's various expenses, Lian Che's tuition, pen and ink, etc., and there are still 60 taels available.
