After reading the recommendation letter from Zhufeng, Tian Debao changed his previous lukewarm attitude and directly stood up to lend his support.
"Everyone, you all know what I, Tian Debao, say, and I never say stupid things. Boss Zhu wants to make us rich, but before that, all of us must be tied together with Boss Zhu..."
After explaining Zhufeng's plan and the deed to everyone, Tian Debao urged everyone to plant medicinal herbs instead. He was a man of great ability, and he was also zealous and fair, so he was naturally convinced by his words.
Finally, all thirteen households of tenant farmers signed new three-year leases with the guarantee of Old Liu Tou.
The tenant farmers who were watching were envious and excited, and joked: "Boss Zhu, when will you buy the land we share and let us make a fortune with you?"
Zhufeng laughed and said, "Yes, yes." He whispered to Tian Debao: "I also asked Li Zheng to recommend five old methods for crops. I will go to the mountains to buy medicinal seeds tomorrow and ask them to follow me.
, you can learn a lot of things.”
When Lao Huang, who was standing not far away, heard this, he immediately ran over actively.
"Boss Zhu, count me in. I can do it. I learn things quickly and can remember them at a glance. Moreover, I have ten acres of land from your family, which is the most. I will definitely have to learn from you personally."
Tian Debao nodded and said to Zhufeng:
"Lao Huang is a good farmer at growing crops. Do you know why he only rents He-shaped land? Because the crops he grows can be equal to the harvest of Herring-shaped land, but he only needs to rent He-shaped land.
and taxes.”
Lao Huang was the first tenant farmer Zhufeng met. Naturally, he had a clear memory, so he immediately smiled and handed over his hand.
"That's going to be hard work. There are a lot of medicinal seeds to buy, and I'll probably have to stay in the mountains for several days. Do you still have the manpower at home? The land needs to be plowed first, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the medicinal seeds to plant."
"I still have two sons, and my wife is also capable of doing the work, so we won't delay digging the land." Lao Huang promised.
"Okay, here's one, there are still four left." Tian Debao looked at Su'er with his hands behind his back, and quickly pointed out four more people to Zhufeng, and took them to get to know each other.
After everything was finalized, all the farmers who were watching left, but the remaining tenant farmers were left behind by Zhufeng.
“The land requirements of medicinal materials are different from those of crops. Many medicinal materials require deep plowing, some require rotten soil, some require fluffy soil, and some require dry and hard soil. They are all different.
Hoeing and plowing the ground may seem simple, but in fact it is quite particular. I will go to the field and demonstrate it to you, so that you don't have to work in vain."
The tenant farmers all clapped their hands and cheered, carrying their hoes with great enthusiasm and following Zhufeng and Qingyu to the fields.
Because Old Liu Tou showed him the land on the day he bought it, Zhufeng was familiar with the soil quality of each piece of land, and he already had a map in his mind of which fields to grow what medicinal materials, so when he demonstrated, he followed the same rules.
With different planting demonstrations,
How to hoe and plow the ground, how often to plow it, how many times to plow it in total, etc., were all detailed. It was not until the sun was about to set that each family put away the hoe and went back, and Zhufeng and Qingyu slowly returned to the city.
...
It was night, at the dinner table, a family of five each talked about their progress.
"Within a radius of ten miles, I have all the streets and alleys in my mind. If I can name anyone within these ten miles, there is nothing I can't find." Hongtao was all proud, and after speaking he sighed:
"All the famous wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families live here, especially the He family and the Si family. Each of the two houses occupies a street. It takes more than two minutes to walk from the street to the end of the street.
Also, the recently rumored competition between the Si and He families for the cloth market has finally come to an end today. The Si family, worthy of being a century-old family, is slightly better and monopolizes the Yinzhou cloth market.
The He family has lost face this time. I heard that they are now buying up land on a large scale. Many landowners have been forced to sell their land to the He family at a low price. We won't be targeted, right?"
Qingyu shook his head and said: "It's just fifty acres of land, and the He family won't take it seriously."
Zhufeng continued: "I'm going to the mountains to buy medicinal seeds tomorrow, and I'll probably have to stay there for a few days. Hey, if I hadn't considered that there are so many people everywhere, I could have asked the head junior sister to go with me, and I could buy as much as I wanted.
To decorate the Xuannv Hall, now we can only use ox carts to pull it, which will take a lot of work."
He also said pitifully: "Don't forget me during my absence. Junior Sister, Headmaster, you will predict bad luck for me every day. If I am in trouble, Junior Sister Wen Ya can come to save me in time."
Wen Ya rolled her eyes at him, "I asked you to learn some self-defense skills, but you don't want to learn them, and you still want me, a woman, to protect you."
"As a doctor, I can't learn enough self-defense techniques in the world of medicine. I don't have the time to learn them."
Qingyu smiled slightly, "Elder brother, the auspicious stars will shine in the next few days, and there will be no harm."
Zhufeng pats his chest, that's good.
"I went to the market today and found that there was a street dedicated to fortune telling, so I set up a temporary stall and earned two coins." Shi'an smiled and handed two strings of copper coins to Qingyu and said:
"If nothing happens at home in the future, I will go over there and set up a stall. There are quite a lot of customers there."
Qingyu nodded, feeling a little distressed and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, from now on I will definitely open the largest fortune pavilion for you in Yinzhou, and let all the dignitaries line up to come to you for fortune telling."
"There is a price but no market." Hong Tao added, "There must be a daily limit."
Several people laughed for a while, and Qingyu said to Hongtao again: "Second senior sister will accompany me to the countryside tomorrow. Hezi land is always a poor land, and the feng shui and local atmosphere need to be improved."
"When can I come back? I still have a little apprentice to take on."
"Go out early, and you'll probably be back before noon."
"Well, I just want to see our land." Hongtao smiled.
"Besides..." Qingyu looked at Wen Ya, "I plan to open a mountain pavilion now to teach martial arts to children from rich families. In today's world, everyone is eager to have the ability to protect themselves, especially these children from rich families, who value
force,
Although there must be martial arts teachers in these people’s families, compared with senior sister, those martial arts teachers can only be regarded as showy. I believe that as long as they see how powerful senior sister is, they will definitely ask to become senior sister as their master.”
When Wen Ya heard this, she was a little excited, "Shan Pavilion, like in Xuanmen?"
Qing Yu smiled and nodded: "Although we can't recruit a large number of disciples for the time being, we can recruit a few first."
"This requires a lot of preparation." Zhufeng said.
"The first thing is the venue. There needs to be a big venue." Wen Ya thought of her Qingya Mountain with nostalgia in her eyes. There are countless venues on Qingya Mountain specifically for disciples to practice martial arts.
"The venue is needed, but it is slightly different from Qingya Mountain. It is very hot this year, and most of the children from rich families cannot endure hardship, so this venue has to be indoors." Qingyu said.
Hong Tao looked at Wen Ya with a smile, "Senior Sister specializes in treating pampered children and recuperating their illnesses. Those rich kids who fall into her hands will lose their skin no matter what."
Wen Ya glanced at her sideways, "This place is not as good as Qingya Mountain, so of course I will restrain myself." Then she said, "Then I will go find Qian Laoer tomorrow and let him find a place first."
