Ancient Fortune Records

"Father, what does our Zhuangzi look like?" Shen Li was very excited, he could be regarded as the clever son of a landlord!Seeing that my father was tired yesterday, I didn't ask him carefully. Now, while his father is not busy, I hurriedly pestered him to ask him to understand.

Shen Laiqiu is not shivering now, but last night he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, his eye circles were so black as if someone had beaten him blue, Shen Li hurriedly wrapped the eggs cooked by his mother in gauze, and rolled them back and forth on his father's eyelids .

Shen Laiqiu felt that the swollen eyes were much better, and hugged his son on his lap happily: "I just looked at it casually. The four hills are not too high, so there must be no ferocious beasts. There are thirty acres of paddy fields and forty acres. Mu of dry land, five hills. But there are also a lot of uncultivated wasteland, hundreds of acres, said to be wasteland, I think the soil quality is very good, as long as the wasteland is well cultivated, the dry land can be increased by more than 100 mu."

The price of wheat is not as expensive as that of rice. Shen Li thought for a while: "Father, is there a lake? If there is a lake, it will be easy to handle. You can surround the edge of the lake with fields, dig ditches to divert water, and the dry fields can also be turned into paddy fields." .”

Shen Laiqiu was stunned, "But how much manpower will it take?"

Some manpower is needed, but the economic benefits are high.It is wrong that there are few people here who specialize in digging ditches.How can human development rely purely on nature?What you want, you have to create yourself.

"Mountains can also be turned into fields, especially paddy fields." Shen Li said seriously.

Shen Laiqiu raised his hand and touched his son's forehead, he didn't have a fever, why are he talking nonsense?Mountains can be turned into paddy fields, so what?Those who don't pay attention to the mountains must not cry to death?

Shen Li took out a sand table, which was also made by his father, so that he could practice calligraphy.He drew a schematic diagram of the terraced fields on it with thin branches, and explained slowly while pointing to the picture: "What I am drawing now is a wide-stalked terraced field, which is very suitable for the mountain of our manor because it is a gentle slope. But we want to be on the windward slope. Xiu, because there will be more rain. We don’t have to plant rice at all, because we really have enough paddy fields. We can plant fruit trees and tea trees, which are very good..."

As Shen Laiqiu listened, his mind began to wander, and he was even a little sleepy.Because Shen Li said a lot of words that he didn't understand, such as leeward slope facing windward slope, soil erosion, which is conducive to the accumulation of nutrients... He could hear every word clearly, but when put together, he couldn't understand. knew.He has no ability, who made him have a good son?This is the case, there is nothing to ask for in this life.

When Shen Li talked about the excitement, he found that he was talking beyond the outline. He saw his father trying to open his eyes to hold back his drowsiness, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard him explain the knowledge about terraced fields in high school geography.

Shen Laiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Son, let's not talk about the terraced fields for now. Your father and I may arrive next month, and Li is asking me to read and write at home."

Shen Li: "It's a good thing, Dad. Even if you don't learn now, you still have to learn to open a grain store in the future. Otherwise, how do you settle accounts? Do you hand over the account books of your own grain store to others? You really don't worry. ?”

Shen Laiqiu nodded upon hearing the words: "Then I'll learn! I'm free tomorrow, so let's learn!"

Mrs. Yu leaned forward, "Master, I heard there is a big house in the deed? How big is it?"

"It's quite big. It's more than three times the size of our current house, but I didn't ask in detail. In a few days, our whole family will go and have a look."

Mrs. Yu is not too picky about where to live, but the news that there is a ready-made big house is really exciting.It's a pity that my stomach doesn't live up to expectations. Otherwise, if I give birth to a boy or a girl, I don't want to be smarter than their big brother, as long as someone stays with Li'er after she and the head of the family die.Anyway, there are enough houses and fields now, and I can afford to have another child.It's a pity that Li'er's stomach didn't respond anymore after giving birth.Li'er also seems to like children very much. Which child in the village doesn't like to play with her?Li'er took good care of them, and was more reliable than those children's elder brothers.

Moreover, if Li'er is bullied, the younger brother or younger sister in the family can help him, even if they are not capable enough to help him, they can comfort her afterwards, so she is not afraid that when she dies, no one will solve Shen Li's big problems. .

Shen Laiqiu didn't understand what Mrs. Yu was thinking about, he thought, Zhuangzi couldn't escape there anyway, the most important thing right now was that the New Year's Eve was approaching, and the New Year's goods had to be prepared.The family has recently added a large carriage, and the horses are no longer available. It is no problem to buy a few more donkeys and mules. It is also convenient to travel. This year's New Year must be well spent, and I have to donate sesame oil to the temple to bless their family Everything is safe and sound, and the coming year will be smooth.

Shen Li said: "Father, are there any fruit trees in that village? Other fruits are rotten and no one picks them yet."

Shen Laiqiu thinks about it, he is such a big Zhuangzi, there are many things on the mountain, pick them up and keep them, and they are good for the dolls who come to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year.I originally thought about going there in a few days, but it seems that it is better to go now.But it's getting cold, maybe even if there are fruits, they will all be frozen.No matter what, it's always worth going to see it.

Shen Li also wanted to go, but Shen Laiqiu didn't want to ask him to go because it was relatively deserted, and it would be bad if he bumped into something unclean or bumped into it.But Shen Li looked at him eagerly, and didn't say that he had to go, unlike ordinary children who would cry and fuss when things went wrong, he would soften his heart. Call people more, nothing will happen.

Yu Shi instructed: "Then you have to follow behind your father well, don't be playful."

"I'm sure I'm not being naughty."

Shen Li hurriedly prepared a cushion to get into the car, for fear that his father would regret it.This is an ancient manor, and he has never seen a serious manor.

Shen Laiqiu immediately went to the village to call for someone to accompany him to the manor.Shen Zhousheng agreed without saying a word, and quickly took the tools and got on the donkey cart.More than a dozen young adults in the village are now earning a lot of money from tofu, and Shen Laiqiu is almost like a master in their eyes.If the master has something to look for, they must immediately put down what they are doing and follow the master.Shen Zhousheng already knew that there were not enough cars, so he pulled a cart from his own house. A group of people took turns in the car and happily set off from the village to the village that has not been named for the time being.

The young man in the car looked at Shen Li's clothes made of fine silk, and his rosy and healthy face, and envied that his younger brother had a good pregnancy and was only poor for a few years. Now that his father is rich, he is studying. It's not difficult to negotiate a marriage. When Third Uncle Shen becomes richer, it will be even less difficult for him to marry a girl from the city.

Shen Li is not afraid of others looking at him, he can answer anyone who talks to him, and smiles when he can't answer, he looks different from other children, Shen Zhousheng likes children like Shen Li very much, he is good-looking, Don't play tricks yet.

A group of people talked and laughed, and arrived at the place in half an hour.

When Shen Laiqiu went to the manor for the first time, he also took a look at the field and pressed his fingerprints when he felt that there was no problem.Looking at it carefully now, I feel more and more that this manor was bought at a good price.As soon as I entered the gate of the manor, I saw two people cleaning inside. The fallen leaves on the ground were swept under the roots of the trees, and bluestone slabs laid out several winding paths in the yard one by one.In the front yard of the manor, shrubs formed fences of different sizes, inside the fences were planted trees of various colors, some of which Shen Li knew, and some of which Shen Li didn’t know. The fences are connected in series, which looks very stylish.Before he came, he heard from his father that the manor seemed to have its own servants. Shen Li was satisfied when he saw that the place was cleaned. Obviously, the servants are relatively honest people.

Not to mention why he is so calm looking at the servants as a modern person, he can't be calm, now he is a servant in the manor, and when he meets someone like their family, he can only live a good life, not worse than being outside.Moreover, in such a social environment, if he wants to raise his arms and shout "The princes and generals are better than each other", "Get up, people who don't want to be slaves", I am afraid that only someone will want to kill him, a rebellious monster.

"Third brother, why are there still people here?" Shen Zhousheng asked in surprise, pointing to two people in ragged clothes who were sweeping.

"Oh, this is when the manor owner resold the manor. If he didn't sell it, he was in a hurry to leave, and the county was eaten up. His servants are still there, because the former owner didn't want to take these people away. Now it is resold to me.”,

Everyone's mood was very complicated. The younger generation saw that Uncle Shen was wearing a coarse cloth coat and black thick cloth shoes on his feet. He didn't have the slightest sense of being a landlord.With this image, who can treat him as a rich man in the county town?

Shen Laiqiu only knew that someone was inside, and he had accepted some deeds, but he didn't notice how many there were, so he asked the village chief to take them out and stamp them on the county government, and follow the procedure to transfer the deeds to his name.He has no experience in left and right, so he asked the head of the village to help him fix it and give it to him.

Shen Laiqiu brought people in so confidently, Zhuang Pu knew that this was the arrival of the new master's house, so he quickly put on the broom and trotted over to greet him. There didn't seem to be many people inside, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen people gathered at the door after a while.

The oldest Zhuang servant inside looked older than the patriarch, and he was so excited that he burst into tears, "It has been three years, and our Zhuangzi has finally been sold." The scope of their activities is limited, and they have no right to grow food on the good fields of the manor. They can only rely on the people from the government to come to plant the land and sell the output. Opening up wasteland by myself, all the land I opened was not good enough, and the harvest was enough to feed and clothe, and my life was miserable, so when Shen Laiqiu came, he was warmly welcomed.

"My lord, the villain's name is Li Fu, and he's the boss here. We have 20 men, 18 women, and five children."

"I've met you, master, young master." A group of people knelt down suddenly.

Shen Laiqiu thought: Kneeling down suddenly scared me to death.But there are quite a lot of people, no wonder this Zhuangzi asks for an expensive price.

Shen Li: Don't kneel, I'm really afraid of losing my life.

Others: Wow, Third Uncle Shen (Brother) is a master, and I'm really not used to people kneeling down to him.
