Chapter 115 Seed
Those seeds were still packed in the big sacks when they were distributed by the government, and everyone just went through the accounts according to the amount they should have distributed, took notes, took money, and didn't even look at the seeds.
Lian Fangzhou only needs to open one of the bags, save the weight of the remaining ones that are not sold, and take the rest away.
"One more thing," Zhang Lizheng smiled and said lightly as a joke: "Yesterday afternoon, someone came to the village to ask if they would collect the cotton seeds from them, and they said they were willing to sell them, so I smiled and said I don't know. He said let me help and ask, and come back tomorrow!"
Lian Fangzhou was instantly overjoyed and said with a smile: "I have to collect more than 5,000 catties for this cotton seed. If I have it, it will save me trouble! It's just—"
Lian Fangzhou paused, looked at Zhang Lizheng and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have no time for a while, and no one else in our family can do this! As the saying goes, don't bother the second master, Uncle Lizheng, if you have any If you are free, I would like to ask you to help me collect it. This is different from our village. If I ask you to help me in vain, it will be a bit hard to say! This is actually quite tedious, and I have to stay at home all day. Can't do anything else! The person who does it needs to be able to write, read the scale, and also have to hold down the scene so that no one is making trouble! There must be a channel to release the news in advance. I think, Even if I dare to say something daring, I will ask you to help me for five dollars a day, and I will take four days first, can you think?"
Niu didn't really walk away, just propped up his ears outside the door and listened! I heard Lian Fangzhou say that five coins a day is two taels in four days!
It is not tiring to work at home, just sitting at home for four days can earn two taels! A fool doesn't do it!
Afraid that Zhang Lizheng would refuse, Mrs. Niu pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Fangzhou, you are so polite! You said so, how can your Uncle Lizheng refuse? It's too much to refuse. It's not very human, isn't it! It's not me boasting, it's really like the conditions you said, there's no other person in this village other than him!"
"Auntie really thought about going with me!" Lian Fangzhou clapped his hands and laughed, swept his eyes lightly, and said with a smile, "Then this..."
Zhang Lizheng just opened his mouth, when Niu clapped his hands and smiled decisively: "Yes! You said so, how can you not! Right?" Do not agree to try the formation.
Zhang Lizheng smiled wryly, and said to Lian Fangzhou, "Alright, I'm fine with the slack farming now! It's just that two taels of silver are too much."
"Not much at all!" Lian Fangzhou hurriedly laughed: "To tell the truth, if I ask others to do this, I, I'm not at ease! Two taels of silver, how can it be considered a lot!"
"Fangzhou is not short of money now!" Mrs. Niu gave Zhang Lizheng a blank look, and asked Lian Fangzhou with a tentative smile, "I heard that you have a cousin in Shuangliu County? This time your family wants to grow cotton because of her idea... and money?"
Rumors always spread like wings and fly. The news spread so fast! Lian Fangzhou secretly said in his heart, and smiled vaguely with a "Haha", noncommittal.
It's just that the expression fell in Niu's eyes, which made him even more certain.
"It's alright, alright, why are you still stomping here, why don't you hurry up to work! It's been stinging all day long!" Zhang Lizheng said angrily.
Niu smiled, "Then you said, I'll go first! Fangzhou, I'll go first!"
For the sake of two taels of silver, Niu felt Lian Fangzhou was even more lovable.
Lian Fangzhou responded with a smile, and after seeing her go out, he talked to Zhang Lizheng again.
Zhang Lizheng's place is not wide, and Lian Fangzhou plans to transport these sacks of seeds back home from the city in the afternoon and stack them in the attic. By the way, I bought thirty or forty large sacks in the city in the afternoon, and gave them to Zhang Li to pack the seeds.
After all, when people in other villages sell them, they are different from those in this village. They all buy them one by one from their own village and then send them over.
Lian Fangzhou took the opportunity to talk about the twenty or so acres of wasteland at the head of the village, expressing that he wanted to buy it.
Zhang Lizheng glanced at her in surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions, and after a little thought, he agreed with a smile.
It is an unowned wasteland, and it is good to be able to sell it to make some money for the village. Lian Fangzhou thanked him very much, and said that he would go to the county seat today to speak to the local guard Liu Jia.
This land is next to the village, so you have to talk to Li Zheng first, but you don't have to talk about the thousands of acres.
After these things were settled, Lian Fangzhou got up and said goodbye, casually saying that he would bring the money in the evening.
Zhang Lizheng refused very much, but Lian Fangzhou naturally refused.
After Lian Fangzhou left, Mrs Niu didn't know where it came from, gave Zhang Lizheng a blank look and said, "You really are, people are rich now, you still refuse to stop, what's a tael of silver enough!', if People really stick to it, and there's nowhere to go to see you cry!"
"You think everyone is like you!" Zhang Lizheng glared at her and said, "I warn you, next time someone comes to the house to talk about something, you are not allowed to eavesdrop, and you are not allowed to run out and stick a bar!"
Niu scolded Zhang Lizheng with "yo" twice, and when he saw Zhang Lizheng's stern face without the slightest ease, he smiled and said, "Yes, I know, I know! It's not good if I don't eavesdrop! It's not enough to put a stick in it!" As he said, he went to work on his own.
Zhang Lizheng rubbed his forehead and smiled helplessly. She didn't know how many times she had said this, but in the end it was the same as not saying it. And he clearly knew that the result was the same, but he couldn't help but say her every time!
This mother-in-law is simply hopeless!
However, the corners of Zhang Lizheng's mouth were slightly upturned, and he was very proud of brushing the beard on his chin. Two taels of silver...
After Lian Fangzhou returned home, the family had lunch, she took a short rest with Lian Ze and Ajian, and then drove the donkey cart to the city.
When I got to the city, I went to Liu Jia and told him about it. Another business came to the door, of course Liu Jia would not refuse. Moreover, Lian Fangzhou made a transaction of more than 2,000 acres of land with him all at once. He didn't think it was strange at all when she bought more than 20 acres. In the morning, people from the yamen will be taken to measure.
Liu Jia smiled at Lian Fangzhou again: "Miss Lian, are you only buying dry land? Would you like to take a look at the paddy fields? I just got 60 acres of good quality in my hand, right in your Dafang Village! It can be planted, very good fields. It is absolutely worthwhile to buy it!”
Lian Fangzhou was startled, but it seemed that he could buy it if he wanted to. The money on hand is still very loose, enough for all kinds of expenses for the next year.
