Blessed Daughter

Chapter 281 Taking Over the Picking Fence Farm

Lu Yuhong's going to Anzhou Academy to study is not just as simple as it seems on the surface, he also has a task - to help Chu Lan find the Ninth Prince.

Because according to all the previous clues, if the Ninth Prince is alive, he should be in the Jiangnan area.

"The reversal of Xu Guogong's case cannot be a coincidence. There must be someone behind it, but it is not clear who did it." Chu Lan asserted.

Originally, the emperor never forgot about the late Empress Xu. Once Xu Guogong's case was overturned, if the Ninth Prince was still alive, the result could be imagined. The situation in the court would inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Hey, I don't understand these things anyway. If you ask me to find them, I'll help you find them. I don't care about the rest." Lu Yuhong waved his hands, and he didn't want to think about such brain-intensive things at all.

"Yes." Chu Lan naturally knew that Lu Yuhong would not listen to these things.

It was precisely because he didn't care about these things that he was willing to tell him.

In his position, it's hard to have someone close and trustworthy around him...

Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in Chu Lan's mind.

In the afternoon of that day, he sat with him in the yard of the farm basking in the sun, drinking the secret tea that he only had there.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan exchanged for a servant at the tea house: "Do you have winter melon tea here?"

The attendant shook his head blankly, not knowing what winter melon tea was.

Chu Lan was a little disappointed: "Back off."

Lu Yuhong cheered up: "Winter melon tea? What is that? Is it delicious?"

Lu Yuhong's interest in food is far higher than his interest in court disputes.

"It's delicious, but you can't drink it anywhere else," Chu Lan said.

"Then where can we drink it? Let's drink it!" Lu Yuhong was full of curiosity about the things he hadn't tasted.

"Wait for a chance, that place is not something you can go if you want," Chu Lan said.

"Is there a place in Taizhou that your seventh prince wants to go but can't?" Lu Yuhong asked suspiciously.

"Yes. Yes." After speaking, Chu Lan's eyes moved out of the window, looking at the East Lake, thoughtful.

It is not difficult to enter that place, but it is difficult to be invited in in a popular way.

The government office was in full swing, and Wei Ruo himself was not idle.

Wei Ruo, Zhuang Zi of Fei Tongpan who had his fancy that day, asked Xu Zhushan to come forward and buy it.

Fei Tongpan is an elegant man, and he named his village Caili Farm.

Wei Ruo thought the name was good so he didn't change it. By the way, he also gave his original Zhuangzi a matching name: Younan Farm.

Mrs. Yuan, the Zhuangzi, also had a name before giving it to her, and it was called Yuanjia Farm, so the plaque was removed when it was handed over to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo was also lazy, and didn't give him a new name after taking over.

This time, thanks to the second Zhuangzi, he got a decent name.

In this way, Wei Ruo has a total of three farms in Taizhou Prefecture, Xiaoyangshan Farm in Xingshan County, and Younan Farm covering an area of ​​2,000 mu (Mrs. , and the fence-picking farm of a thousand acres of land just purchased.

Ninety percent of Xiaoyangshan farms grow sweet potatoes. The harvest of sweet potatoes all over the mountain was very impressive last year. As long as they are harvested normally this year, it will not be a problem to fill up several warehouses with sweet potatoes, and they can also produce a lot of additional sweet potato products.

The original 1,000-acre farmland of Younan Farm was rectified and fertilized after harvesting the wheat this year. The 1,000-acre field purchased later was relatively barren. Wei Ruo spent a period of time to improve the fertilization, and now it can be planted. Eighty percent of the two thousand mu of land is now planted with rice, and the remaining 20 percent is waiting for Wei Ruo's taro planting.

Wei Ruo already has a general understanding of the situation of the fence-picking farm he just purchased. The soil is not fertile enough, and many seedlings have froze to death this year, so Wei Ruo needs to make adjustments and arrangements.

In addition, Wei Ruo has a sandy land in Baima Village next to Shitou Village, and now the people in Shitou Village have contracted it to help her grow sweet potatoes in the sandy land.

Wei Ruo's current land property is already much more than that of Xiaowei's mansion. If Yun's family knows that her daughter has so much land property outside, I don't know if her jaw will drop.

Wei Qingwan always felt that Wei Ruo was going to compete with her for favor. If she knew that Wei Ruo didn't need the favor of the Wei family at all, she didn't know how she would feel.

After Wei Ruo took over Caili Farm, he first met the person in charge of the farm.

If Wei Ruo came here as Xu Heyou, and the owner of the farm is Xu Zhushan, the people in the village will take it for granted that she is their young master.

Wei Ruo checked Zhuangzi's account books, and indeed there were a lot of problems, but Wei Ruo knew about them all before, so there was no surprise.

The farm is full of tenants. According to the original regulations, the tenants have to pay a rent of one hundred catties per mu per year.

When the harvest is good in previous years, one mu can produce three to four hundred catties of rice a year, and the rent is one hundred, and the rest is enough to feed and clothe the tenants for a year.

But since the year before last, the harvest has dropped sharply. Last year, the yield per mu was less than 200 catties. Even though Fei Tongpan's family waived some rent for everyone, the problem could not be completely solved.

This year, a wave of cold waves froze most of the rice seedlings that Ben Zai had drawn, causing the farm to be gloomy.

After reading the account books and inspecting the situation, Wei Ruo directly ordered to go on: "I understand the situation, you go on and let the tenants shovel all the seedlings in the village."

Hearing this, the manager of Caili Farm's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

Zhao Guanshi of Caili Farm is much younger than Yu Guanshi. He looks like he is in his thirties. He is in the middle of his life, with a big beard, tall and burly, with a strong back and a strong waist, and he looks like he is not lacking in strength.

"Young master, this is not allowed! This is absolutely not allowed! The remaining seedlings are the only hope left for the farmers this year! They are all uprooted, and everyone has no life! They are all going to starve to death!" Manager Zhao hurriedly dissuaded road.

"According to what I said, if you don't let everyone have enough to eat this year, I will pay out of my own pocket and send two hundred catties of rice and two hundred catties of noodles to each household." Promise of.

At this moment, Guanshi Zhao was stunned, and his eyes, which were not too big, were round and round.

The owner in front of them is already a very benevolent person, and they will give everyone rent free in the year when the harvest is in default, but they have never heard of an owner who wants to send food to the tenants, which is completely unheard of!

"Or do you think these leftover seedlings will allow farmers to grow enough food for next year?" Wei Ruo asked.

Zhao Guanshi shook his head again and again.

"You can't just do what I said. My Younan Farm is not far from you. I don't know if you have heard of the wheat harvest in my farm before. If not, you can go there by yourself some other day. Look at the granary over there, how much wheat is in it."
