Chapter 27 Difficulties

"Brother Ergou, are you okay?" The next morning, Chen Mo ran into the field with a basket on his back. Atdo trotted and chased after him, looking at Chen Mo with a sunny face curiously. This one was different at all last night.

"Think some truth." Chen Mo looked at Adu with a serious look.

"Er...Brother Ergou, why are you looking at me like this?" Aduo was a little furious when Chen Mo looked at him.

"The Master said that there must be my teacher when three people walk. Aduo, what can you teach me?" Chen Mo looked at Aduo and asked seriously.

"Me?" Aduo was a little dreamy and shook his head and said, "Brother Ergou, you are the best among us. What can we teach you?"

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the words of the ancestors may not be correct, maybe you are the other two."

Ado: "…"

"Go away quickly, stop letting those outsiders come to grab grain, and see if the fertilization will work this year." Chen Mo shook his head and took Adu to the ground with him.

"Brother Ergou, wait for me~"

...

The days ahead are peaceful. Although outsiders occasionally come, since the last incident, people have been sending people to guard the outside world. If a foreigner comes, he will beat the gong to guard the village. Zhuangyong in the village will put down his work and gather together. Although it has been delayed a lot of time, he can also prevent the crops in the field from being robbed.

This year should have been a good harvest for Chen Mo and others. Because of the help of manure, the crops of each family had at least 10% more harvests, but it was difficult for everyone to be happy. Not only did they have to pay taxes to the court, but the Taiping Cult will also come and have to leave a batch. Although the surrounding villages have a good impression of the Taiping Cult, for them, they are obviously somewhat rejecting the Taiping Cult.

Uncle Wang never came back. Chen Mo's sadness gradually faded from the beginning. Because he helped each company to buy manure, Chen Mo's popularity here was much better than before, and there were many fewer people calling him a manure manure. Chen Mo gradually gained a new understanding of the teachings of his mother and Uncle Wang at that time.

"I gave the court taxes, and then the Taiping Cult came to take another round. Calculated that although the harvest this year is a little more than last year, it is 20% less than what we have in our hands." Chen Mo moved the grain to the cellar and looked at his mother.

"That's right. This is not the chickens and ducks sent by each family. There is also some meat. When I go to the city next month to sell the girl's favorites made by my mother, in fact, this year's harvest is no less or even more than in previous years." Chen's mother smiled.

Indeed, because Chen Mo helped each family use manure, each family also gave a lot of things. Some gave chickens or eggs, and some sent some coarse cloth. Li Zheng Aweng even asked his daughter-in-law to send a stone of rice. This is a good thing. When it is put on the market, it is almost twice the price of corn.

With these in mind, the Chen family’s harvest this year is much higher than in previous years. If it is all considered money, it can be almost twice as high as last year. However, Chen Mo still felt that he was at a disadvantage. The Taiping Cult should not be given anything at all.

"Mom, I'm going to ask someone to help you build a few acres of land in winter." Chen Mo came up from the cellar, hugged Heizi, and smiled at his mother, "Or buy some thin fields directly. I've inquired about it. A mu of thin fields costs about two thousand yuan. Putting aside our cost, after selling these things, we can buy two acres of thin fields. In this way, our family will have twelve acres. Spend another thousand yuan to ask someone to help cultivate one acre, which is thirteen acres. The harvest will be added to another 30% next year. The amount of food we eat is certain. After the autumn harvest next year, the surplus will be more. I calculated that we can add another five acres. In this way, within three years, our family will have thirty acres of thin fields and can hire tenant farmers to help."

Chen Mo calculated by his fingers that if his family had thirty acres of thin fields, even if he could not be as rich as the Li Zheng Aweng family, he would have no worries about food and clothing. And as he continued like this, after thirty acres of thin fields, in another three or five years, his family would have 100 acres of thin fields. At that time, his ability would definitely be better than now, and he could concentrate on how to enter the government.

Seeing her son looking forward to the future so happily, Chen's mother nodded with a smile, then asked with a smile: "But no one sells land here, how are my son going to do it?"

Overall, because Li Zheng Aweng is not the kind of robbery, the villagers here live a pretty good life, and for the people, the land is the lifeblood and no one is willing to sell it.

"I know." Chen Mo said confidently: "But there isn't here, there is indeed something outside."

"Things can't be done like this." Chen's mother shook her head and said.

"Why?" Chen Mo said in confusion.

"There is only so much land here. They sell the land, so they must be buying it. If you snatch it, wouldn't you mess with the other party for no reason?" Chen's mother smiled.

"Mom, why is this? Those who are more expensive will get it. Besides, how can you say that your family is bullying your family?" Chen Mo frowned.

"Sometimes the truth and facts are opposite." Chen's mother sighed and said, "We should be glad that we met Haolizheng, but most of the Lizheng in the world are not like Ahon."

"Mom, why is this?" Chen Mo didn't understand. Even though there were differences in his impression, it would not persecute his own talents.

"Didn't you tell me the reason just now?" Chen's mother looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Actually, everyone wants to live a good life, and then keeps buying land. But for Li Zheng, this place is theirs, and there are only these lands. If a small family is good for a good year, but if it encounters a disaster, they can only sell land. At this time, better Li Zheng will give a good price. But if you meet a vicious person, you will take the opportunity to lower the price and buy it at a low price. If outsiders come to buy land, as a local Li Zheng, there are many ways that you can't get any food even if you have land, and you have to sell it to them obediently."

"This..." Chen Mo looked at his mother blankly and wanted to refute it, but it seemed that this was true. The most important thing is that in Chen Mo's plan for the future, in addition to taking advantage of this link, it was basically the same as what his mother said.

"In most cases, if there are very few situations here, most of the families in the lima are tenants from the main family, which is rare like ours." Chen's mother touched Chen Mo's head and smiled: "This is the reason why your father chose this place when he was in trouble."
