Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 140: Another Land

"I can't hide anything from the hostess!" Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly.

The two talked to Lian Fangzhou about everyone's thoughts.

After these days, even Fangzhou could see that these people are really good, and she was naturally happy to suggest that. After thinking about it, she nodded to them and said: "Okay! It's better to be a student than to be familiar. I also think that this is the best! Just tell Uncle Zhao Liu about this. You don't need to tell Uncle Zhao Liu that you have already mentioned it to me, just let Uncle Zhao Liu arrange it!"

Although Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao didn't understand why they were doing this, they nodded and agreed with a smile.Although they had guessed that Lian Fangzhou would most likely agree, it became true at this moment and they were still very happy.

After A Jian had transported charcoal twice to the city, he and Lian Fangzhou delivered meals to the ground, and three more trips in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Lian Fangzhou confessed a few words, and followed A Jian into the city with Lian Ze.Lian Fangzhou had to take money to pay for the land.

When they arrived in the city, A Jian went to send charcoal, and Lian Fangzhou's sister and brother went to Liu Jia's house.

Liu Jia did a great help to his family yesterday, and of course he cannot go empty-handed when he comes home today.It's the same thing to find Zhao Liu in two days.

Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze bought two boxes of high-quality dim sum in the dim sum shop, ordered two pieces of new silk in the silk and satin shop, and cut a square of about four kilograms of pork belly from the meat stall. , Bought several kilograms of dried persimmons, and spent a couple of silvers before I came to Liu Jia's house.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jia bluntly said that he would spend money. Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze smiled and thanked him for what happened yesterday, and said that he shouldn't bother him to run before and after to buy the land. This is right.

Lian Fangzhou spoke frankly and sincerely, and that was gratitude in the heart.Liu Jia was also a generous person, so he accepted it happily and ordered his wife to put it away.

Daughter-in-law Liu Jia had a good impression of Lian Fangzhou's sister and brother. She took a few polite words with a smile, and then took out the best tea in the house to make tea, and was busy preparing snack boxes.

After sitting down for a while, it comes to business.

Liu Jia handed the accounts to Lian Fangzhou and explained them one by one. In the end, the sum of the money, including the intermediary fee and the cost of the official lease, was 3,362 taels. Liu A received only three thousand three hundred fifty taels, and gave her the receipt, smiling: "The land is already yours. You can sort the land in two days and wait for the official lease to be completed in a few days. I'll tell you again!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and thanked him, pointing to something, and then left with Lian Ze.

It happened that A Jian had already sold charcoal, and Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze went to buy some big bones and meat for the soup, reunited with A Jian, and went home.

At the end of the day, Ajian sent five times and Li Sanhe sent three times.Tomorrow one person will send it again, and all the charcoal accumulated at home will be sent out.

In the future, it will be delivered immediately after each kiln exits the kiln.

Lian Fangzhou and A Jian thought about it. After finishing the ground on the Shiuping side tomorrow, we can go to Sanchakou the day after tomorrow. We still burn the wasteland first and then tidy up.

However, the wasteland on the Sanchakou side is only over 680 acres, and compared with those on Shitoping, there are basically no small trees and shrubs, just some grass. It is much easier to clean up than there. !That mountain is a little troublesome.

Lian Fangzhou intends to burn the mountain again, eradicate the shrubs and miscellaneous trees, then dig holes to plant fruit trees, arrange a flat land on the top of the mountain, and build a house.

It is not convenient to transport bricks and stones to the mountains, so just build a wooden house, which is similar to a stilt building, which is more unique.

When the spring starts next year, you can enclose a tall barbed wire fence at the foot of the mountain to raise chickens inside.

Although the wasteland here is easy to clean up, it turned out that the land except for the wasteland belonged to several different families. Now they are all owned by her, all the original boundaries have to be knocked down and connected into a unified plan.

The next morning, A Jian and Li Sanhe each delivered charcoal, and they all delivered them.

Li Sanhe was so happy that he said "it's easy". If it weren't for Liu Jia's help, I don't know how many days would it take to sell out the charcoal!

"Fangzhou, my father and my mother said, you go to our house in the evening, our two families will first divide the money for selling charcoal this time, and then sell it again and then divide it again!" Li Sanhe smiled.

This is a good thing that I said earlier, and even Fangzhou didn't reject it, so he responded with a smile.This time selling charcoal, a total of forty-six two-three dollars was allocated, which is enough for next year's expense. Lian Fangzhou is still very happy!

Nothing happened today, and Lian Fangzhou planned to go to Sanchakou to take a look. He had to make a good plan and how to arrange manpower to organize it more reasonably and conveniently.

Even Fangqing and Lian Che also wanted to see this "own land", and the siblings and Ajian went.

Lian Fangzhou probably watched it once, and after discussing a few words with A Jian, he probably had a certain number in his heart, and a few people climbed up the low hill again.

"Uncle Liu said that this mountain is nearly 70 acres, which is considered a gift. When the fruit trees are planted in early spring, we will have an orchard and many fruits to eat!" Lian Fangzhou said with a smile.

"Great! Sister, will we have fruit to eat next year!" Lian Fangqing smiled crookedly, looking forward to it, as if the weeds on this mountain had become fruit trees.

Lian Ze chuckled and said, "How can it be so fast? If you buy fruit tree seedlings next year, it will take three years to eat the fruit at the earliest, right?"

"So long!" Lian Fangqing was inevitably disappointed.

Even Fangzhou felt that it was a long time. He moved in his heart and smiled: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe we can still eat better next year!"

"Yes, yes," Lian Che said with bright eyes, "Let's plant big fruit trees!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "That's what I said, we can grow big fruit trees!"

However, what she was thinking about was grafting.

She didn’t know about other places. Anyway, on Xianteng Mountain and the mountains close to Xianteng Mountain, she saw a lot of wild fruit trees, such as wild loquats, persimmons, bayberry, dates, orange trees, chestnuts, cherries, and peaches. Trees, pears, plums, etc. are all available. As long as you pick the ones that have already bear fruits, dig back the stumps, buy fruit branches from others’ orchards, and graft them, you can eat fresh fruits that year.

This matter waits until the ground is cleaned up and the fruit tree pits are dug, then you can go into the mountains to search.

In Yuhe County, it is said that even in the coldest winter, it does not exceed minus. The wild fruit trees can be planted as soon as they are dug back, covered with straw.

Several people talked and laughed and watched for a while, then went home.

Lian Fangzhou also went to Zhang Lizheng's house by the way to see how many kilograms of cotton seeds had been received.

Zhang Lizheng couldn't help but smile when she saw her coming: "I was about to send someone to find you, but by coincidence you are here!"
