Chapter 67 There Is a Big Event Announced (3)

"Bullshit!" Zhang Lizheng glared in the direction of the voice, and said angrily: "This kind of seed didn't fall from the sky, can I ask for money? This is already a very cheap price! By the way, it's the autumn harvest. At that time, the half of the land tax will be less than half of the grain, which is considered the court's generosity!"

As soon as everyone heard that they wanted money, they began to talk about it. They heard that the tax would be reduced by half. Not only were they not happy, but they were even more worried. They were worried that this kind of thing was not a thing!

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

"Zhang Lizheng, if someone is willing to help other people's crops, can this work?" Lian Fangzhou asked loudly.

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and they looked at Lian Fangzhou like a joke, wondering if this big girl from the Lian family is stupid, who would be willing to help others? It's almost like throwing it all to someone else's house!

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

Lian Fangzhou gave an "oh" and asked again, "Then did the government send someone down to instruct us how to plant it?"

"No!" Zhang Lizheng said, "However, we peasants don't understand how to plant something? Why do we need someone from the government to guide such trouble!"

Lian Fangzhou made a sudden realization and stopped talking.

In fact, the court originally planned to send someone down to give some pointers, but these seeds are rare, and few will be planted, and this trial planting is an errand that the Governor of the Southwest took the initiative to come to please the prince, in order to show There are a lot of local talents, of course they will not let the court send people down, isn't it just farming? Aren't new seeds also seeds, just sprinkle them on the ground, carefully care for them, and fertilize and water them, right?

What's more, it's just a trial planting. If it doesn't work, there are reasons to explain it, such as unsuitable soil and water, unsuitable climate, etc.

In a word, if you are unsuccessful, your attitude is positive and sincere; and if you are successful, it is a great achievement!

"Okay, okay! It's settled, don't forget to go to my house to get the seeds! Don't forget!" Zhang Lizheng said, and waved as he walked down: "It's all gone!"

The people discussed and dispersed.

"As far as she can, the nonsense she asks is unreasonable! I'm not afraid of making jokes!" Lian Fangzhou heard Qiao's not far behind, not too close.

She and Lian Ze looked at each other, smiled at Lian Ze, and left without saying anything to Qiao.

"You don't have to worry about this, wait a few days to see how the villagers do what we do!" Gradually walking away, seeing no one around, Aunt Zhang said this to Lian Fangzhou.

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

Lian Ze then said: "Sister, Aunt Zhang is right, don't take what Li Zheng said just now, don't take it seriously, I see, he has a headache, few people will take the initiative to get the seeds! Let's also first Look, if the big guys don't take it, we won't take it either!"

Is this... the law does not blame the public?

Even Fangzhou was relieved when he thought about it, this is nothing else, it's grabbing the land with the big guy! This is not much worse than death, who can't stand it?

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

Potatoes and cotton, others don't know what they are, but she does! That's really good stuff!

Potatoes are enough, but cotton, as long as it is planted for one season, let alone the high-grade cotton cloth and cotton yarn, just using it to make cotton clothes and quilts is enough to make a fortune!

This cotton is not just about shoving seeds into the soil, taking a snapshot and taking care of it, the most important thing is topping, and unless someone who 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 is also very particular.

Lian Fangzhou returned home in a very excited mood, gradually calmed down, and became a little discouraged.

Because she doesn't have enough money.

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

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

If you want land, you have to pay for it, and if you want people, you have to pay for it.

From her point of view, it is not safe to hire people. It is best to buy a few honest and willing workers through the yamen, so as to ensure that the technology will not be stolen so quickly.

Just like this, there are several more people who need to eat and have a place to live...

This account is not ignorant, but it is startling!

In a word, Lian Fangzhou understands that this money is impossible for her, Lian Ze, and Ajian to make charcoal.

Lian Fangzhou sighed softly, would you give up? She is really not reconciled, after this village there is no such shop!

There is only one chance.

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

No one was willing to lend her hundreds of thousands of dollars. As for the mortgage, their wealth was here, and there was nothing they could mortgage.

So, can you try partnering with someone? The landlord Zhou in Shangcun, Zhu Yuanwai from Zhujiazhuang, Rich Li from Shiwan, and Wang Yuanwai from this village are all rich people.

Lian Fangzhou knew that the hope was very slim, but she really didn't want to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, she would try it.

But the results were horribly bad. These non-members and rich owners politely refused, and they let her go without waiting for her to finish speaking, and some even didn't see her face at all!

And without exception, these people looked at her like a fool, thinking that even this big girl is crazy!

Lian Fangzhou even went to the Zhao family in the county town and asked to see Zhao Rujun. From what she thought, Zhao Rujun would have no difficulty in taking over the family's business as a woman. It can be seen that she is a strange woman. Maybe her knowledge is different from others!

But even Fangzhou didn't see Zhao Rujun, just happened to be seen by the magpie when she came. He also spat at her back: "What's the matter, and she doesn't even take a mirror to look at herself, even she dares to come to the door to ask our young lady! Is our young lady the one who just meets her when she meets her? No shame or shame!"

There is really no other way, Lian Fangzhou can only do things with the money in his hand.

She did a little calculation. She could earn sixty or seventy taels from burning charcoal this winter, plus the remaining ten taels from the Yang family's resignation expenses and nearly ten taels from selling mushrooms, the total amount was about ninety taels.

Thirty taels were left for next year's various expenses, Lian Che's tuition and ink expenses, etc., and there were still sixty taels that could be used.
