Quick Transmigration's Extraordinary Routine

Chapter 298 The Old Farm Lady (11)

After a while, the village head stood on the stone pier under the big tree.Clearing his throat, he said loudly, "The newly appointed magistrate is here today. The newly appointed magistrate will promote the reclamation of wasteland in every village. The crops grown on the reclaimed wasteland will not be taxed for the first three years."

"After three years, each mu of land will be sold for three taels of silver, or land will be rented. The annual rent for one mu of land is 500 copper coins."

"Those who want to open up wasteland can come to me to register."

After listening to the village chief, many people began to discuss it.Think about how much land you can reclaim.Moreover, the reclaimed land and the crops planted do not have to pay taxes for the first three years, so how much more food can the family produce.

After the village chief finished speaking, the people in the village went home.

Qingyao was stopped by Gao Zhaodi, and they walked towards the end of the village together, "Sister Liu, do you want to open up an acre or two of wasteland?"

"The matter of opening up the wasteland will be discussed with the children when they go home. Let's see what the children think." Now she discusses important things with the children.

They are also part of the family, no matter how big or small they should be involved, it is up to everyone to decide whether it is good or bad in the future.No matter how tired you are, you have to persevere.

"Sister Gao, is your family going to open up wasteland?"

"The child's father said that he would open it. You also know that our family has a foreign surname. There is not much land in the village, and there is only one mu of good land. Then there are a few acres of thin fields and poor land. Open a few more acres of wasteland. Buy it. Then the child’s father won’t have to go hunting.”

"Every time I go hunting, I'm always afraid at home. There will be more land in the future, and life will not be as good as it is now."

"That's right. Sister Gao, if you open up wasteland, I will give you seeds called potatoes and sweet potatoes. These crops are very easy to grow. Even if the wasteland is opened up, the yield should be acceptable."

Gao Zhaodi said happily, "Although I don't know what potatoes and sweet potatoes are, I believe that sister Liu will not lie to me. When the time comes to open up wasteland, my sister will have the cheek to ask for some seeds. Don't worry, our family will buy them with money."

Qingyao quickly waved her hand, "Sister Gao, your family is by your side. My man's death has helped me so much, but it's just some seeds. Then I can still ask for your money."

Gao Zhaodi was overjoyed, and she said that Yu Cheng and his family were good. Although Liu Meizi was doing embroidery work at home, she had little contact with her.But now the girl is also a straightforward person.She felt that their family didn't have a hot face but a cold butt.

Qing Yao and Gao Zhaodi went home talking and laughing.

In the evening, Qing Yao's family had dinner.Qing Yao called the children into the yard.

"Today the village chief came to inform that the new county magistrate is promoting the reclamation of wasteland. The crops planted in the first three years do not have to pay taxes. After three years, the reclaimed land can be rented or bought. Renting one mu of land for a year costs 500 copper, Buy an acre of land for three taels of silver."

"Do you think it is necessary to reclaim wasteland? If so, why should it be reclaimed? If not, why not reclaim it. You can tell the reason. We will discuss it together when the time comes."

After listening to Qingyao's words, the children thought seriously.

After a long time, Qingyao asked, "Those who agree to cultivate the land raise their hands."

Unexpectedly, all four children raised their hands.The four children looked at each other, then laughed.

"Feng'er, you are the eldest brother. First, why do you want to open up wasteland?"

Yu Yifeng said unhurriedly, "Our family now has 6 acres of fertile land, 3 acres of thin field, and 5 acres of thin soil, but our family now has five people. With these fields, it is not a problem to support us."

"But we have three boys in our family. We will marry a wife and have children, and the population will increase. These fields are not too many." Yu Yifeng's ears turned red when he said that he married a wife and had children.I'm a little embarrassed.

"Besides, there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years of reclaimed land. The crops grown are all our own. We can save a lot. And after three years, we can buy the reclaimed wasteland. I think it is a good deal."

"Well, what the madman said is very reasonable. How about you? Do you think the same as your elder brother?"

Yu Yifu said, "I also thought of what my brother said. But I have other ideas, that is, the potatoes and sweet potatoes that our family grows now. Mother, you said that these two are easy to grow."

"If potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted on the reclaimed wasteland in the future, there should be a lot of food harvested in three years. We can sell them for money. If the planting is good, we will report to the county magistrate. Let the county magistrate promote it in every village. Not only did we have a good reputation, but we also won the favor of the county magistrate."

"If we do well, maybe our names will appear in front of His Majesty." When the time comes to take the imperial examination, they will at least have a good reputation in front of His Majesty.

Qingyao looked at Yu Yifu who was talking eloquently, and the more she felt that her baby was really smart.They all thought of promoting planting and gaining a good reputation.

However, Qingyao still talked about her attitude, "Fuer, you have a good idea. But my mother wants to tell you something. I am happy and unhappy to promote the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The happy thing is that you have gained a good reputation for promoting planting. It's all for our family. It's not happy. Your thinking is too narrow."

Qingyao said seriously, "Fu'er, our village will be settled in one year. How much income can we get per capita? Do you know?"

Yu Yifu shook his head.

"The annual income per capita in our village is five taels of silver. Five taels of silver is not enough for you to buy a good pen."

"Promoting planting, my mother's original intention is to make everyone in the village live a better life. Think about the people who help us when our family is in trouble. Like your Uncle Huzi's family. They treat us better than your uncle's uncle's family. .”

"But you Uncle Hu still have to risk your life to go hunting deep in the mountains."

The more Yu Yifu listened, the more guilty he felt. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, mother, I think I'm really too selfish. I only think about our family's good reputation. I think about how our family can live a better life." .”

He forgot about the villagers who had helped his family.

Qingyao smiled, "Fu Er, your thinking is correct. People are selfish. What you think of is our family. Yes, child, I hope you are not just a family-loving person. I also hope that you will become an open-minded people."

Yu Yifu lowered his head, "Mother, I understand."

"Just understand, Heer and Miner, do you two have any ideas?"

The two little guys shook their heads in sync.

"No, how much wasteland will our family reclaim?"

Yu Yifeng thought for a while, "Mother, it should be possible to cultivate three acres of land. Usually, Fu and Ah He don't have long time to go to class. It should be no problem for the three of us to cultivate three acres of land together."

"Feng'er, if there are cows, how many acres can our family reclaim?" Qingyao asked a question calmly.

"If there are cattle, at least ten acres of land is not a problem." Yu Yifeng is not boasting.Because it only took seven or eight days for him and his father to borrow cattle to farm their own fields.
