Farming in another world to make a fortune

Yu Zhou's laughter spread far away in the darkness, and Jin Chuan, who was upright and confident, was almost embarrassed, so he squeezed his fingers in his palm and said with a smile, "You're right!"

Jin Chuan didn't answer the words, but shook back slightly.

When he walked to the door of the house, Yu Zhou suddenly thought of something, pretending to be serious: "Just now I made a mistake, I don't just like you."

"Do you want to say that you still like Chenchen?" Jin Chuan broke away from Yu Zhou's hand and took a few steps forward. The light from the lanterns on both sides of the gate showed him smiling at Yanyan, "It's late, if Chenchen listens At this point, I will definitely not sleep next to you tonight."

Yu Zhou shrugged his shoulders, and regretted perfunctorily, "Then what to do, if you don't want to sleep next to me, then you have to let him sleep in the newly made small bed."

Jin Chuan raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Zhou with a half-smile.Just as he was about to say something more, he heard footsteps coming from inside the door, and when he turned around, he saw Qisu walking towards the door with Chenchen by his arm.

Seeing her parents, Chenchen's eyes brightened a lot, her short legs tried hard to cross the high threshold, she raised her head and asked, "Father, Daddy, where have you been? It's been so long since you came back, Chenchen is going to sleep!" "

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan looked at their son's innocence, and recalled their conversation just now, feeling a little guilty.

Jin Chuan's immediate reaction was to look away from Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou was thicker-skinned, he only touched his nose, then stepped forward to hug Chenchen and said, "Father will take you to sleep now."

Jin Chuan just took advantage of Yu Zhou to attract Chen Chen's attention, lagged behind, and asked Qi Su who brought Chen Chen out, "Did Chen Chen trouble you?"

"No," Qisu shook her head, "Chenchen is very good."

Chenchen was really good, she didn't need to be coaxed, she obediently asked Yu Zhou to wash him up, and then lay down on his little bed full of freshness.

After only rolling around twice, his eyes still fell on the big bed next to him, and he asked Yu Zhou eagerly: "If I wake up that night and call my father, will my father and father hear me?"

"Of course, I can try it for you." After Yu Zhou finished speaking, he sat down at the end of the bed, lowered half of the curtains, and whispered "baizai" before returning to Chenchen's small bed and asking, "Can you?" Do you hear me?"

"I can hear it!" Chenchen nodded heavily, then retracted into the quilt and lay down, only showing a pair of big eyes looking at Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou pulled down his quilt a little, exposing his lips and nose, and tucked up the sides of his heels, and pressed them down with a cotton toy made by Jinchuan.After finishing, he sat down beside Chenchen, and said softly: "Close your eyes, father will tell you a story."

In Yu Zhou's gentle voice, Chenchen's eyeballs, which were moving even though they were closed, quickly stopped, and the eyelashes, which were as long as crow feathers, cast two shadows on her white and tender cheeks.

Yu Zhou stopped telling stories, sat for a while, and went out after Chenchen had slept soundly.

The chat in the side hall was still going on, Yu Zhou sat next to Jin Chuan and quickly blended into it.

Until the entrance of the village, the opera troupes dispersed, and they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Jin Chuan was led into the room by Yu Zhou, and seeing Chen Chen sleeping soundly on the small bed, he couldn't help but glance back at Yu Zhou, and asked, "You really just let Chen Chen sleep by herself? "

"Yeah, he himself likes this little bed." Yu Zhou said confidently.

Jin Chuan felt helpless, "It's starting to get cold, aren't you afraid that he will freeze at night?"

"Probably not, he always obeys the rules when he sleeps," Yu Zhou hesitated, and then said, "At worst, I'll wake up to see him a few more times at night."

The implication is that it is decided to sleep in separate beds.

He insisted, and Jin Chuan didn't say anything more. After all, if there is no division now, it will be divided sooner or later.

He Yunqi and Tao Jiang stayed at Yu Zhou's house for two days before returning home. When they returned, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan also went to the town together to confirm the purchase of the mountain land.

When the county magistrate saw Yu Zhou, he smiled and said, "I guess you should come to me these days, and this time you plan to buy land, right?"

"There's no rush for land," Yu Zhou asked casually, "What if I want to buy some mountain land?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the county magistrate: "Isn't every household in your village allocated a piece of mountain land?"

Of course Yu Zhou knew that every household in his village had a small piece of mountain land, and even many families had won dealers in the mountain land, but that land was not worth it to him at all.

The county magistrate obviously also thought about this question, looked at the smiling and silent Yu Zhou, and asked again: "Which mountain do you want, let me see if it is within the range that can be bought and sold."

"The big area under Guikuya Cliff is the Tongshu Valley." Yu Zhou said.

The county magistrate took out the documents from the shelf behind him and rummaged through them for a long time before muttering: "Aren't those two places barren hills? It's useless for you to buy them!"

Yu Zhou didn't hide anything, and he didn't tell everything, he just said, "I'm going to plant something in the mountains."

This time the county magistrate didn't ask any more questions, he just explained clearly how much money he needed per mu of mountain land and how much he could reduce or exempt as a Juren.

In fact, the imperial examination began with the county examination, and Yu Zhou had won the exam, so how could he not know these things.

It's just that when the county magistrate was talking, he didn't interrupt. He waited until the county magistrate finished speaking, and then the two made an agreement that tomorrow the magistrate would take someone to measure the mountain and dig the boundary for him.

After the purchase of mountain land was confirmed, Yu Zhou went to He's house to pick up Jin Chuan and Chen Chen, and the family wandered around the town for a while before going back.

After the autumn harvest, it was a time of leisure, but Yu Zhou fell into a busy schedule.After buying the mountain land, in addition to the original growing tea leaves that need to be repaired, he also plans to find someone to clean up some of the open space. After the spring tea is picked next year, he can try to cultivate some tea seedlings and plant them, so as to achieve sustainable development.

And if he wants to develop tea into a business, the two wild tea forests are too small after all, and even if the tea trees have a long lifespan, they will always age one day.

Only by constantly planting new ones can we ensure that it will be passed on for a long time.

It is impossible for Yu Zhou to be busy with so many things with Lin Yue.So he invited people from the village to help him, and the wages were the same as what they had been working in Luofengpo before, twenty yuan a day.

Prices in this world have not changed much for several years, and twenty cents a day is considered a very good income. Besides, there is nothing to do in the field at this time, so when Yu Zhou said that he wanted to hire someone to do something, the young and middle-aged men in the village Almost all came.

Yu Zhou's request was also simple. It was just to dig out all the plants that had grown on the mountain and make them into terraced fields so that it would be convenient for planting tea trees next year.

He didn't complete all the mountain land he bought at once, because there are only so many wild tea trees, and the seedlings that can be bred in a year are limited, so it is useless to dig out the mountain land in advance.

Another point, which is also the most important point, is to dig out all the vegetation of a mountain at one time, leaving only a few wild tea trees, which will inevitably cause soil erosion.So we can only come little by little.

They were all from the village. Seeing Yu Zhou buying land to open up wasteland in such a big way, everyone couldn't help but ask him what he planned to do.

Although this will be known to everyone sooner or later, and Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan have discussed it long ago. If the villagers want to do it, they will take everyone to do it together.

It's just that it's not the best time yet. The husband and wife are both cautious in character. Before doing such a big thing, they will definitely think carefully before taking action.

They all clearly know the truth, that is, most people don't cherish the cheap ones, and similarly, the ones delivered to their door are not so precious.

So Yu Zhou only said vaguely, "It's going to be used to plant trees, do you want to come together?"

There are tens of thousands of trees on the mountain, no matter how precious they are, they are just trees after all. It will be decades before they grow to the point where they can be sold for money. Yu Zhou does not have to pay taxes, but they are different. Will follow along to toss.

So when the villagers heard about it, they all gave up the idea of ​​following suit.And it's really a way to make money, would someone say it so frankly and invite everyone to join them?

Everyone thinks it is impossible, even though Yu Zhou is now a Juren.

Only Uncle Qing and the Chen family, who had been picking tea leaves for Yu Zhou, had vague guesses in their hearts after hearing what Yu Zhou said.

Before the snow fell, the mountainous land where Yu Zhou planned to plant tea trees next year was also finished. The Chen family picked a day when everyone was free, and invited Yu Zhou's family and Uncle Qing to visit. Yu Zhou: "You asked everyone in the mountains that day if they wanted to plant trees with you. Did you plan to take whatever everyone planted in the future?"

Yu Zhou never thought that this matter could be hidden from the Chen family and Uncle Qing, and he also felt that there was no need to hide this matter given the temperament of these two families, so he said directly: "It's not that I accept them all, but I plan to teach everyone how to fry them." tea."

He directly said the word tea, the Chen family and Uncle Qing were surprised at first, and then showed such expressions.

After a while, Uncle Qing swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "You should only teach this kind of thing to your offspring."

"If they are willing to learn in the future, I will naturally teach them," Yu Zhou said with a smile. "As for teaching the people in the village, everyone is of the same family. Since I have connections, I want to help everyone."

Of course, the words are pleasant to say, and what has not been said is that if he is the only one in the village to fry tea and sell it, if there is a market, although he can sell it at a good price, but because the production of tea is limited, Only a few people can taste it.

But if the whole village grows together, given the climate conditions here, Yu Zhou is not worried that he will not be able to grow good tea, and the market will open up. If the whole Great Yan Kingdom and even foreigners can know that they have good tea here, it will benefit Not only the villagers, but also his own children and grandchildren.

Aunt Chen was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Although your idea is for everyone's benefit, it is best not to leak the matter now, let alone offer to teach the people in the village how to grow and fry tea. Wait until next year or later Over the past few years, people in the village have known about your tea sales, so Lizheng and the elders in the village came to invite you to teach everyone."

This is exactly what Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan originally thought, but for the Chen family and Uncle Qing, Yu Zhou has always been willing to help. What is your plan? If you want to plant together next year, you will have to plant the land this winter. If everything goes well, I should be able to get some seedlings to share with you."

As soon as he said this, both the Chen family and Uncle Qing were a little excited.

But everyone soon calmed down again, and Aunt Chen said: "I'd better stay with you, our two families are already close to you, and seeing that we bought mountain land and followed you, I don't know how many people in the village will follow suit. If you take out what you said in the mountains before, the elders in the village will make it difficult for you and Jinchuan."

What she said was likely to happen, so the rest of the people listened, and although they felt disappointed, they all agreed.

Yu Zhou didn't want to make any extra troubles. After nodding his head in response to Aunt Chen's words, he suggested, "Then let's buy the land first. If you don't squeeze in with everyone, you can choose the right one."

Aunt Chen said helplessly, "Isn't buying the land the same as telling everyone that we are going to plant tea trees with you? There is no way we can hide such a big movement."

"Just let Lin Yue go with you," Yu Zhou said, "You can tell the public first that I think the mountains are not enough, so I want to buy more."

This is indeed a feasible method. After hearing this, the Chen family and Uncle Qing nodded together and said, "Okay, I will do as you say."
