Chapter 140 Mortgage Assets
"Boss, you are ready to go."

Li Xiao straightened her waist, got up from the recliner, and then left first, "Didn't I change my clothes? Let's go!"

Steward Zhou hurriedly followed behind, chattering as he walked, "Boss, next year our family can't be like this year. Before the spring plowing, we have already planted red, um, that sweet potato, for sweet potatoes, it can't be like this, God They will get angry and affect the harvest.”

"All right, all right! Listen to you!" Li Xiao waved his hands without looking back. Lao Zhou not only talked about this matter face to face, he even talked about it in letters, for fear of offending God and not giving him a favor. harvest.

The two walked and chatted along the way, and arrived at the prepared field after a while.

A big bull with five-color belts tied around its waist, representing soil, seedlings, fruits, etc., of course, also means a bumper crop.

"Master."

"Hello there!"

The tenants of Niuzhuang basically no longer rely on renting land to live, but they will still plant a piece of land, not only to ensure their own edible vegetables, but also to ensure their own rations, but when paying the rent, it has been converted into copper coins Yes, after all, earning money in Niuzhuang is much more cost-effective than farming!

"The auspicious time has come! Spring plowing begins!"

Manager Zhou howled loudly, followed by a series of blessings and prayers.It was time for two sticks of incense to be sprinkled eloquently, and Manager Zhou was finishing his speech.

Under the urging of Manager Zhou, Li Xiao walked to the field, held the plow in his hand, and raised the whip lightly. The big bull was led by Manager Zhou, and moved forward slowly. Too many, a little nervous and irritable, always not following!
After plowing the selected field, Li Xiao was out of breath, but Li Xiaoxu can't be blamed, it's really hard to control this cow!
After this set is completed, it is time to plant crops.

Of course, what Li Xiao did today was all a ritual, and the specifics had to be planted by the tenants on the village, so Li Xiao started!

"Boss, is our Zhuangzi really planting these this year? Don't think about wheat anymore?" Steward Zhou looked at the fresh sweet potato vines and corn dumplings at his feet, and asked with some concern.

After all, these are new crops. It would be impossible for the common people to grow them by themselves. After all, no one would make fun of their own harvest for a year. However, Niuzhuang is Li Xiao, and he can grow whatever he wants. From the standpoint of management, consider the harvest of your own village!
"Old Zhou, don't worry, one seedling of this sweet potato vine can grow more than ten catties of sweet potatoes, and each of these corn seedlings can produce at least one catty of corn kernels. These are good things. Who will grow wheat? In the future, wheat will be replaced by other things. Plant somewhere!"

Li Xiao looked at the tender green seedlings at his feet, and stroked them lightly. The sweet potato vines and corn dumplings were grown in greenhouses. This year's harvest must be good, and in order to improve the survival rate, the corn is still planted with fermented dough. Mix pig manure with soil and knead it into a mud ball, put the seeds in the middle, just like making glutinous rice balls!
The fertility is sufficient, the temperature is sufficient, and the corn seedlings are strong!

Manager Zhou pursed his lips and didn't say much. Although his boss can always create some miracles, but when serving the dealer, Manager Zhou really didn't take his boss seriously. If he hadn't stopped them by himself, he would probably have asked his boss to make a fuss about it.

Li Xiao said nothing to the people of Zhuangzi, but the tenants of Zhuangzi also treated Zhuangzi as their own. Seeing that Li Xiao had to plant crops that he had never seen before, he was very worried that Zhuangzi's harvest would not be good this year, and the tenants were all there. Distressed!

"Old Zhou, follow me. For this kind of corn dumpling field, each ridge is one and a half feet wide, and the distance between the ridges is two feet. Then two rows are planted in one ridge, and two seedlings are planted in one nest!
Then there is the field of sweet potato vines, a ridge is two feet wide, and the interval between ridges is one foot, and three rows are planted in one ridge!

However, in the land with insufficient soil fertility in the northern part of the Bahe River, it is better to plant more sparsely and interplant sweet potatoes with corn, which not only improves the utilization rate of the land, but also increases the yield. However, the topdressing must keep up in the later stage. Anyway, the pig manure in the pig farm does not cost money. , Just pour it on me! "

After Li Xiao demonstrated the planting, he sat on the edge of the field to rest, watching the big and strong bull grow more and more strange!
"Old Zhou, come here!"

Manager Zhou trotted all the way, patting the dirt on his hands with each other! "What happened to the boss?"

"Isn't there an ox in our village? Why did you use this big bull? I mean why didn't this ox follow me when I was plowing the field? It shouldn't be the ox of our village, right?"

Zhou Guanshi smiled wryly and explained carefully.

It turned out that Xue Yantuo's cattle had all been sent to Chang'an. Li Xiao and other shareholders only selected some good horses for their own use. The rest of the horses had all been handed over to Li Shimin. Of course, he exchanged them for things!
The seven shareholders shared the [-] cows. At the beginning, Manager Zhou wrote to Li Xiao asking how to divide them. Li Xiao didn't even think about it and asked for [-] calves.

The news spread to Manager Zhou, and when he was discussing with other shareholders, he was ridiculed a lot. He obviously wanted the most valuable calf instead of the best bull. This is a message to the minority shareholders of Xinyi Commercial Bank. What about benefits?

In the end, Manager Zhou endured the ridicule and carried out Li Xiao's order. Princess Changle couldn't see that Li Xiao was at a disadvantage, so she took the initiative to give Li Xiao some of the most valuable bulls. The two belonged to the same family anyway, so no one said anything. After Changle took the initiative to give it to Li Xiao, other shareholders also distributed some high-quality bulls to Li Xiao.

But within half a month, it was sent back by Manager Zhou. In Li Xiao's words, it is only brothers who settle accounts clearly. This kind of cooperation can last for a long time. If it goes on like this, there will definitely be problems!
Others can't postpone it, but can only pull back those top bulls again!

What Changle sent was left behind.

Manager Zhou looked at Li Xiao strangely, the other shareholders were watching your joke!owner.

"That is to say, our Zhuangzi has ten thousand calves and dozens of big bulls?"

"Yes, boss, that's how it's divided this time"

"What about the calf?"

"Calf?" Manager Zhou looked puzzled, "Of course the calf is raised, and there is not much meat, so it can't be sold for a price!"

"Sell money? Why do you want to sell money? Don't you keep working?"

"Of course you can sell it for money. The imperial court prohibits the trading of farming cattle. Cattle on the grassland can be bought and sold, but the quantity in the West Market is usually not large. Moreover, once the cattle dealers in the grassland enter the customs, they will be bought away. , where can you find cattle in the market!"

"No, what are you talking about?"

Li Xiao was going to be confused, "What I want to ask is, why don't you use the calf to cultivate the land! Why do you insist on selling the cow for money?"
