Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Mrs. Chen said happily: "Your sister-in-law told me personally, how can it be false? Hai'er, listen to mother, study hard and be literate. Mother never expects you to be like your elder brother, nor does she expect you to be like your second brother. Just concentrate on studying. Mom only asks you to develop good calligraphy, be able to write and do calculations, and don’t be deceived by others! Haier, can you do such a simple request?"

"can!"

Huo Yunhai wiped his face carelessly a few times, not caring that the back of his hands was stained with snot and tears, and the gold ingots in his eyes shone even more.

Mrs. Chen kept praising her, then turned to Huo Yunze and said, "Ze'er, my parents are illiterate, so you have to keep an eye on Hai'er. You can hit Hai'er whenever you need to, and Mom won't stop you anymore."

Huo Yunze deliberately asked in front of Huo Yunhai: "Mom, what if the third brother is crying and calling for your help?"

Mrs. Chen looked hesitant and caught a glimpse of Huo Yunhai's expectant eyes. She said with all her heart, "I, I'll cover my ears. If it doesn't work, I'll go to your eldest brother's house to see little Fubao!"

"Mother~~~"

Huo Yunhai called out periodically.

Woohoo, he wanted to cry again!

The second brother showed no mercy when he beat him!

Huo Yunze glanced at him: "Third brother, have you forgotten the oath you just made? Do you need me to help you recall your memories?"

As he spoke, he tapped his thigh with a ruler, as if he was ready to attack Huo Yunhai.

Huo Yunhai shrank his neck in fear, turned into a human quail and begged for mercy: "Second brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Mrs. Chen burst into laughter. The house will become more and more lively in the future.

Huo Yunchao, who was drinking tea and chatting with County Magistrate Chen in the county government office, sneezed suddenly and felt itchy when he touched it.

nose.

Magistrate Chen asked with a smile: "Isn't it little Fubao waiting for you to come home?"

Huo Yunchao laughed three times, then took over the conversation and issued an invitation: "Fu Bao will be confinement tomorrow. I would like to invite you to my home. I wonder if you can give me a favor?"

Although Huo Yunchao is no longer a civilian, he still respects County Magistrate Chen as "my lord".

As a matter of courtesy, County Magistrate Chen would not call him "Ping Lehou" or other honorifics. He still called him how he used to be called in private situations.

I am the master of my own territory, which is one of the rules of life of a straightforward person.

County Magistrate Chen was startled, sighed, got up and went to the study to get a wooden box: "Oh? Is our little Fubao one month old? Oh, time flies so fast! I won't go, the handover work is too full , I really can’t spare the time. However, I have prepared a birthday gift for Fu Bao. Here, I’ll give it to you in advance. Yun Chao is not allowed to open it until the first birthday party!”

"Okay, okay, I promise you!"

Huo Yunchao stood up and took the wooden box with a bright smile on his face, weighing it: "It's not light. Don't stare, I promise not to open it!"

County Magistrate Chen snorted: "You are a trustworthy boy."

Huo Yunchao laughed. He liked to deal with straightforward people like County Magistrate Chen. He was straightforward and didn't have to play intrigues. It's not that he doesn't know how to play, but he doesn't want to waste energy on this.

Magistrate Chen suddenly thought of something important: "Yun Chao, have you encountered any difficulties in promoting sweet potatoes? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

He knew how busy Huo Yunchao was. It couldn't be as simple as just having a cup of tea when he came to see him this time. He must have something to do with him.

Urgent matter.

"Ah~"

When Huo Yunchao mentioned the promotion of sweet potatoes, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and three deep forehead lines were revealed on his forehead, which showed how worried and anxious he was.

"Sir, the main purpose of my trip is to seek advice from you on how to persuade the big landowners to change their minds and plant sweet potatoes. It's different from what I thought. The landowners don't seem to care how much the fields produce. No matter how much I persuade them, they will have to do it." It’s not their sincere approval.”

Huo Yunchao's original plan was to find a group of influential large landowners to take the lead, with the large landowners leading the small ones, allowing the large landowners to play a role model, and then guide other small landowners and farmers to promote it.

There was nothing wrong with the plan, and the direction seemed to be correct. However, Huo Yunchao had been busy for so long and had little effect. He spent his own money to invite the big landowners to the teahouse for meetings. The tea fee alone cost nearly a hundred taels of silver, but there was no A large landowner was willing to give him practical support.

Even if he invited Zheng Shaoxuan to be a lobbyist, there would be no improvement. Huo Yunchao ran into obstacles one after another. He really couldn't find a solution, and he didn't want to take these annoying official matters home and let Xu Ning, who was still in confinement, worry with him. in a hurry.

After thinking about it, Huo Yunchao came to the county government office to ask Magistrate Chen for help. He was really desperate.

County Magistrate Chen listened to Huo Yunchao's confession with an expression on his face that said, "Yunchao, you are going in the wrong direction."

"Ah?" Huo Yunchao was stunned. He reiterated his direction and asked confusedly: "Sir, what did I do wrong? Is it because I am in this mountain and can't see clearly?"

County Magistrate Chen accurately captured Huo Yunchao's misfortunes from the beginning

His mistake was finalized: "Yes! Yun Chao, your direction was wrong from the beginning. Because the big landowners don't care about the output of the land at all. What really allows them to make huge profits is money lending and renting. Do you want to Think, think carefully about what I said.”

Large landowners rely on the land in their hands to maintain a luxurious life and raise the next generation. If they want to live a good life, it is not just as simple as making more money and producing more output from the land.

In fact, the big landowners hope to tie the tenants to their own land, forcing the tenants to rely on them to survive, not just to squeeze out the current generation of tenants, but to squeeze out three generations!

Labor force is the most precious thing that the big landowners care about most.

Therefore, Huo Yunchao strongly recommended to the big landowners how much yield, contribution and added value sweet potatoes could have. In the eyes of the extremely smart landowners, it was far less than being tied to their land. The value of the tenants!

Huo Yunchao thought about it again and again, but did not expect such a profound thing. Fortunately, he is a person who is very good at listening and learning. He stood up and bowed to Magistrate Chen for advice: "Sir, I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

His foundation is too shallow, and he is a person who has traveled from a different world. He must seek advice from a family with a deep foundation like County Magistrate Chen, otherwise he really can't find a way out.

County Magistrate Chen did not dodge and accepted Huo Yunchao's gift generously. He accepted the gift with peace of mind and did not feel guilty at all.

Because what County Magistrate Chen wants to teach Huo Yunchao is the most important thing that he may not be able to learn despite decades of hard work - cross-class cognition!

Wait

County Magistrate Chen explained to Huo Yunchao the real views of the big landowners on the land. Huo Yunchao was greatly shocked and exclaimed: "Oh my God! That's how it is! It's actually like this!"

County Magistrate Chen chuckled and said, "Yun Chao, this is something that is not allowed to be spread to the outside world. I don't regret accepting that gift from you."

"Thank you for your advice, sir!"

Huo Yunchao suppressed the surprise in his heart and expressed his gratitude to County Magistrate Chen very solemnly.
