Mr. Tian was startled, and said without even thinking: "If you have money, you will never be stupid enough to buy such wasteland. These days, good land is hard to find, and those who have spare money will only buy good land. There is no such thing as good land."
A few people will go to open up wasteland."
"Oh." Tian Minyan let out a long oh, then changed the subject lightly and asked: "Grandpa, our family has fertile farmland, right?"
"Of course. Our family has eighteen acres of fertile farmland and six acres of hillside sandy land." Speaking of this, Mr. Tian felt a little proud, because his fertile fields are close to the river and are very convenient for irrigation and water storage.
The land is very fertile and the yield per mu is very good. I once envied many villagers.
This is all the result of his unique vision. Just like the boss, if he hadn’t been determined to provide for him, even when the family was in dire straits and the boss and the second child could only choose one to study, he would have chosen it without hesitation.
Boss.
Facts have proved that his choice was right, the eldest brother did not let him down, and the second child... didn't say anything!
It's just that the eldest son has never made any further progress since he passed the examination as a scholar. Can't the Tian family have someone to promote people and become a scholar? From then on, it becomes a family of officials and gentry?
Tian Minyan watched Mr. Tian's face change. He was happy, proud, sighing, and a little disappointed. She could think with her toes that it was probably because of the troubles at home.
"Grandpa, how much rice and noodles are sold for one stone now? Our family will definitely have a bumper harvest this year." Tian Minyan didn't have the heart to guess what he was thinking, and only asked in a roundabout way what she wanted to ask.
"Well, I'm looking at the growth. If there are no major floods in June and July, we should have a good harvest." Mr. Tian put away his thoughts and laughed: "Now one tael of silver can get two stones of rice. If God bless us, our parents will
The birth will definitely not be less than 500 catties."
When Tian Minyan heard this, she immediately started doing mental arithmetic. One tael of silver and two stones, one stone is 94.4 kilograms, and two stones is 3.0 kilograms. According to modern times, the equivalent of RMB is 1. yuan/jin.
Hey, isn't this about the same price as the price of rice in the Ming Dynasty?
"What about pork?" she asked again.
"Nowadays, the best pork belly and white meat costs thirteen cents a pound. This meat is very expensive. Two years ago it only cost ten cents. So, Yan girl, you can't blame grandpa for being so cruel that he didn't give your mother the baby.
It’s really..." Mr. Tian sighed.
Tian Minyan also lowered her head and said nothing. No wonder those ten taels of silver seemed to kill Jiang. How much food was that? Luo drank it alone.
Without money, you can't even get sick. It turns out that it's not just a modern thing. In ancient times, it was even more severe. At least there are many benevolent people in modern times. What kind of charities are there? But in ancient times, there were no natural or man-made disasters.
Who would just throw away a lot of money to do some good deeds for no reason? Do you really think that money is brought by strong winds?
"Grandpa, I will earn ten taels of silver and return it to you." Tian Minyan took a deep breath, pursed her lips and said seriously.
Mr. Tian just thought she was feeling guilty and casually said that ten taels is not a small amount. If it were not for selling grain, the Tian family would not be able to save twenty taels of silver. She is a little girl, even if she is sold as a girl,
It can't be exchanged for ten taels.
Although he was reluctant to part with the ten taels of silver, he just thought of it as falling into the water and accumulating good fortune. These years, it has not been easy for the third child.
Little did Mr. Tian know that the little girl he looked down upon would open up a new era step by step with his own hands and become the most respected and admired aunt in the Tian family by his descendants.
The author has something to say: In fact, it is really confusing to look through the information to see the prices. It gives me a headache. Wenwen just ignores the duration and introduces the price. Do you blame me? Catch the bug for me, I am a digital idiot.
