Ancient Fortune Records

The kudzu root was sold for 30 taels of silver the next day, and when Shen Laiqiu was about to continue selling the remaining kudzu root in the mountain and save some for seeding, Shen Li stopped him.

Shen Laiqiu wasn't angry either. In his opinion, his son was the reason for his fortune. If his son didn't want him to dig these kudzu roots now, he could stop.Holding kudzu root, Shen Li looked at the fields at the foot of the mountain and said, "Father, do we still have to buy fields, and we can't buy good fields?"

Shen Laiqiu said: "Yes, you heard what I said to your third grandfather a few days ago? Our family can only buy woodland and wasteland at most. We can't buy good dry land and paddy fields. It's not because we don't have enough money, but The county does not give it, the county lord wants to raise the price of these fields, and sell them to the landlord who wants to buy a continuous field, and the old parents are not willing to buy two yuan like us."

Shen Li said: "That's because you didn't contribute to the clan. If you made a contribution, the patriarch's grandfather will give you the land, and you don't need to buy it. At that time, the land will be eaten by the clan. The price in the county is set high. We You can also buy it."

Shen Laiqiu is not a fool: "You mean..."

"Father, just tell the patriarch the news that kudzu root can be sold for money. Our family makes money, and everyone makes money. If our village makes more money, we will pay more taxes. When the amount reaches a certain amount, the government will order people to serve. There will be fewer people in our village.”

Shen Laiqiu looked at this son who had been exceptionally quiet since he was a child in surprise, and thought to himself, could it be that his son was the same type of person as the "Su Hui" that the monks in the temple called?Are you born knowing something that no one else can think of?But he planned not to mention Mrs Yu, Shen Laiqiu didn't want his son to be smart, healthy, and safe.

Shen Laiqiu thought about it, and the people in the clan were pretty good, but their Shen family village was poorer.Now when their family is still poor, it is easier for others to remember their friendship with the villagers. If their third family becomes rich alone, they will be remembered instead.So he nodded and agreed with Shen Li's opinion.

Seeing that his father agreed, Shen Li didn't say much.He saw that there were quite a lot of kudzu roots on the mountain, so he helped Shen Laiqiu collect some kudzu roots for seeds. What is the method of kudzu roots?In his previous life, he had read about the efficacy and planting methods of Pueraria lobata in Baidu Encyclopedia, but now he forgot about it.If it doesn’t work, ask your father to try it first, or ask Li Langzhong, if the kudzu root is still there, you don’t have to worry about planting methods.

Sure enough, Shen Laiqiu visited the patriarch on this day and explained his purpose.Knowing that kudzu root can be sold for so much money, the patriarch Shen Changshou was pleasantly surprised and unbelievable.But Shen Laiqiu is a loyal young man in the clan, and what he says is most likely true.

The patriarch immediately looked at the kudzu root brought by Shen Laiqiu. He actually didn't really believe that this thing could make money, and the clan still needed to try it.If it can be planted, then more woodland and dry land can be bought, the price is cheap, and it can also generate income for the tribe.Their Shen family village is too poor, if they really make money, it will be of great benefit to future generations.

Of course, this village is called Shenjia Village because there are many Shen family members. In fact, there have been quite a few people with foreign surnames who have moved here in recent years, so the specific matters need to be discussed with the village chief.Fortunately, the village head is also a member of the Shen family, so it is much easier to communicate.

The village chief Shen Fengshou said: "It's not too late, let's go to the county now, when everyone knows that kudzu can be grown in forest land, and kudzu can be sold for so much money, the price of dry forest land will have to rise again, then we will be able to grow kudzu. late!"

The patriarch was still hesitant: "What if it can't be planted? Who knows how to grow kudzu root? Forest land is not suitable for farming, and buying it is a waste of money."

Shen Fengshou smiled and said: "Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, then we will plant trees and buy the hills left and right. The trees planted are ours, and the fruits can be sold if they grow. After a hundred years, maybe the coffin wood will be gone. !" This is an opportunity, if you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy for the clan to grow stronger.

Shen Changshou listened and nodded in agreement: "Did the people of the tribe collect the money?"

Shen Fengshou said: "Ask the villagers. If you are willing to pay more, you can buy more. If you pay less, you can buy less. If you don't pay, then you don't buy." Eighty liters, unless you are a beggar, it is impossible not to make up money.It is impossible for the county to disregard the imperial court's prohibition against driving up land prices, so an acre of dry land will be sold for at most [-] yuan, and forest land, which no landlord is willing to buy, will cost at most [-] yuan per mu.Paddy fields are also bought, because paddy fields are expensive and cost one tael of silver per mu. It is estimated that the clan will buy less.

The grandparents in their village had long started to set up family businesses.Up to now, Shenjia Village has accumulated a total of [-] mu of paddy fields, [-] mu of dry land, and [-] mu of forest land.Paddy fields are rare, and dry land is not much.The woodland is useless, so it is considered the common property of the clan. Villagers will pick fruits, chop firewood, and collect pine hairs (pine needles) in it.If you plan to buy land now, the [-] mu will need to be redistributed to each household, and each household can also have two mu of forest land.

Every household in the village sent a representative to sign the contract. After checking, Shen Changshou was stunned: "There are quite a few rich families in the village!"

Especially Shen Laiqiu, who actually wanted to buy [-] mu of paddy fields, [-] mu of dry land, and [-] mu of forest land.Except for the village chief, he bought the most in the village.Now, Shen Changshou became more stable.This shows that Shen Laiqiu really made a fortune by relying on Ge Gen.

Shen Changshou didn't intend to interfere with the plans of his descendants, so he just bought twenty acres for himself.He is old, and it is useless to buy so many.Of course, after the price of forest land soared and kudzu root became a stable income, he also regretted his own success.This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

The procedures for buying land are not as complicated as those for selling land.Soon, Shenjia Village bought nearby hills and large paddy fields and dry land.Shen Changshou was so excited that tears came out. The family business left by his ancestors has been expanded in his hands. This is a major event to be recorded in the genealogy!

Grand Duke Shen Laiqiu selflessly disclosed to the villagers the news that kudzu root could be sold for money. The village head specially emphasized to the villagers that he was buying land to plant kudzu root, and Shen Laiqiu played a decisive role.Shen Laiqiu suggested to the villagers that if they find kudzu root in their own hills, they can just sell a little, and it is best to save the seeds.People in the village are not stupid, selling some kudzu root is really valuable!They consulted the agricultural officer in the town who was in charge of farming, and asked how the kudzu root was grown, but unfortunately the harvest was not much.

Regardless of what the villagers planned, Shen Laiqiu now had 40 taels of silver after expenses, so he spent five taels of silver to buy two donkeys, one big and one small.In fact, he originally wanted to buy a mule, but there was no place to sell mules in the town, so he had to ask a villager who knew donkeys to help him choose a donkey.

Shen Li liked the little donkey very much, because as soon as it saw Shen Li, it kissed Shen Li's hand with its head.Shen Li secretly fed it a mouthful of maltose, but Shen Laiqiu pretended not to see it.As a child, it's normal to like a little donkey, Shen Li even named it "Mengmeng".

Mrs. Yu has never fed the donkey, but she tentatively fed some vegetables from the vegetable field, and the donkey also enjoyed it.But she didn't continue to feed the food, after all, she couldn't bear it.The donkey found food by himself--the straw piled up in the yard that no one cared about, and the beans that were drying in the yard.

Shen Daman knew that Shen Laiqiu had bought so much woodland, and was so angry that he smashed a bowl. You said you bought the land and you bought the land. Why did you buy so much useless woodland?The kudzu root can be sold for so much money, it can be seen that it is a precious thing, how can farmers who don't know anything like them serve it?

Shen Gaoshi was also angry, not because Shen Laiqiu bought forest land, but because Shen Laiqiu had so much money in private!Before asking him for money, he pushed back and forth, but now he is so willing to buy the land by himself!

Shen Laiqiu didn't care about his parents' complaints about him. Under his advice, his brothers bought more than ten acres of woodland and dry land. It can be seen that if Shen Laiqiu didn't sell Pueraria lobata, how much worse his family would be than other brothers!Now he repays grievances with kindness, if these relatives still repay him kindness with grievances, the patriarch will be the first to refuse!However, the patriarch was willing to speak for him because he told the patriarch that he knew how Pueraria was grown and was willing to tell everyone for free.Of course, Shen Laiqiu would not suddenly understand the method of growing kudzu root by himself, it was Shen Li who told him.

Shen Li had read Baidu Encyclopedia's detailed introduction to kudzu before. He shouldn't remember these things, but he has been thinking about this issue for the past few days. He thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. In his dream, he remembered that he had unintentionally After reading the introduction of kudzu root on the agricultural channel and the content on Baidu Encyclopedia, I woke up immediately and told Shen Laiqiu what I wrote down in my mind!

Shen Laiqiu has never studied, but he is still good at growing crops.After Shen Li talked to him a few words, he actually realized that this thing is not so troublesome to grow. Shen Li said that in October, the pods are dried and threshed after they are ripe, and stored after removing impurities. The temperature rises in the next spring , Choose a place with good soil quality, sunny and well-drained water, and plant it in a place where the seedlings come out, and then plant them.

After all, not every mu of woodland has kudzu roots, only the pods can ensure that every villager can get the seeds.

Of course, if there are kudzu roots in the allocated woodland, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. When digging kudzu roots, cut off the thick root system to a length of ten centimeters, and plant it directly in the soil next to the root system. Seedlings will grow in the next spring. Come and transplant it to other dry land or woodland.

The forest land that the patriarch bought didn't have many kudzu roots, so Shen Laiqiu gave him a lot of pods and promised to help the patriarch grow seedlings.The patriarch owed favors, so he naturally wanted to help Shen Laiqiu promote his good reputation of being dedicated to the clan, loyal, kind, and filial.At this time, Shen Laiqiu still didn't realize how beneficial this matter was to him, he felt that he just did what he should do.The patriarch believes that Shen Laiqiu must be considered a powerful person in the village, whether he does not care about his eccentric parents, helps him raise seedlings, teaches everyone to plant Pueraria lobata, and buys forest land.

Shen Li listened to the villagers' gratitude and praise to his father after he had tasted the sweetness, and showed a smile with deep merit and fame.

The author has something to say: slightly modify the price of the field, I set the price lower before, sorry.
