It’s true that hard work pays off, Fang Qingqing came up with a good idea.

Land is the foundation for farmers' survival. The fields in Hongqiao Village are too far away and are inconvenient every time they go back and forth. It would be great if she could buy some fields in the suburbs of Beijing.

I had thought about buying a large mansion in the capital before. After receiving the reward from His Majesty the Emperor last time, Fang Qingqing suddenly discovered:

She was wrong!

The Li family now has a place to live, and as Li Xiuping's official position becomes bigger and bigger in the future, the court will only reward him with a better mansion.

There is no need for her to buy a house. It is better to buy a farmhouse than to have this money. You can plant some fields near fruits and vegetables or crops.

You can also find excuses to take out many things in her space storage little by little.

But she had inquired, even a farm that only costs tens of acres or even less than one hundred acres will cost thousands of taels of silver.

At present, Lao Li's family cannot afford such expenses, so the food shop at home still needs to be rented.

Just when Fang Qingqing was in a dilemma whether she wanted to use the savings in the space, Li Xiuping brought her good news.

"What did you say? The Emperor rewarded you a farmhouse?"

"Well, a small village has more than two hundred acres of land inside." Li Xiuping said calmly.

There was a faint smile on his face and the complacent that he didn't want to hide in front of his wife.

Sure enough, Fang Qingqing immediately rushed over and shouted excitedly at Li Xiuping: "Brother Sanlang, you are so awesome."

What made Li Xiuping feel that some of the subtexts that had been prepared were useless, and he was even a little guilty?

He was just a small fifth-rank official in Beijing. Even though he had gained the holy heart recently, he had been summoned by Emperor Hongwen to privately ask about politics many times.

So what?

There are so many inconspicuous little people like him in the capital.

Although the emperor values ​​him this time, Li Xiuping knew that he was also unrelated to his own virtuous wife.

Although he did not go to see it in person, he also found out clearly. Therefore, he can now tell his wife in detail:

"It's just a small village with a total of 200 acres of land. The village is a courtyard with about eight large houses.

Those lands were cultivated by the farmers, and many fruit trees were planted in the farm.”

The village had dozens of households. While the emperor rewarded the village to Li Xiuping, he naturally also accompanied the nearby land and the village households.

The dozens of families outside the farm have to be supplied to the owner of the farm.

Now, all these incomes are subject to Li Xiuping.

In fact, many so-called powerful people in the capital are like this, just like clan relatives, some of their relationship with the royal family have become very marginalized. The amount of money they can get from the palace every year is limited.

There are often dozens or even more than one hundred people to support a mansion. The food, clothing, housing and daily gifts and social activities are quite expensive.

Therefore, ordinary mansions will have shops or farms as their own business. Of course, these are the accumulation of the foundation of aristocratic families in the capital.

And the Li family's current attitude is still too shallow.

The whole family was very happy to tell Old Man Li and Shi about this.

Taking advantage of the day when Li Xiuping was resting, the food shop also suspended business, and the whole family took a bus to the village in the suburbs of Beijing.

The autumn harvest has passed, so the land here has to be flipped and sowed next year. However, the fruit trees in the village are full of fruits.

The children were all very happy, and went to play like crazy, almost taking off their shoes and climbing up the tree.

I studied various academic etiquette in Beijing. I haven’t been so free and easy for a long time.

Even Shi and his three daughters-in-law were wandering around the village slowly, and they were in a very comfortable mood.

There are eleven families near Zhuangzi, which are already equivalent to the long-term workers hired by the Li family. Originally, they were all under the jurisdiction of the Zhuangtou.

Before coming, Li Xiuping discussed with his parents that the strong dragon could not defeat the local snake, and no matter what, he would use the original banker first.

So after coming here, Old Man Li took Li Dalang to have a lively conversation with the village head. Both of them were good at farming.

Uh, Li Erlang hasn't come yet, Li Sanlang doesn't understand these things.

After only a few words, Old Man Li told Zhuangtou what the main focus next year is, and what wheat and peanuts are all about | color | beans.

Then there are a few acres of land to plant radish, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. People outside don’t know about this, but Lao Li’s family still plans to plant more and more.

Fang Qingqing has developed a variety of ways to eat potatoes, and will only promote the potato planting on a large scale after the emperor successfully tried it.

Here, their food shop can also have a few more special | color | signature snacks.

As a result, at the end of the conversation, Old Man Li didn't plan to go back and wanted to stay in the village for a few days.

Li Xiuping and Fang Qingqing looked at each other and saw each other in shock:

Going out and losing my father?

"I discussed it with your mother and wanted to stay here to raise some chickens and ducks."

The decision was made by Old Man Li, but Shi also spoke: "Yes, take advantage of the time when you have time to buy some eggs and duck eggs to hatch. In this way, you can raise chickens and ducks in the beginning of spring, and you can also take the opportunity to clean up the farm. The old man was so idle that he had work to do here."

The two elders agreed that even if they stayed here, they would have a good relationship with the banker.

But now Zhuangzi is already their son-in-law, but how can outsiders feel at ease?

While chatting with the Zhuangtou, Old Man Li made up his mind to stay for the New Year and go back during this period.

It is not difficult for Fang Qingqing to understand this. After all, they have been accustomed to their own family working all their lives. In the past, Li Xiuping spent some time to convince the two elders of their family land.

For example, when their family lived in the county town, their father-in-law often returned to the village alone to serve the fields.

There is another reason, even if they didn't say it out loud, Fang Qingqing could guess more or less.

Now the Lao Li family has temporarily settled in the capital. Everyone has their own things to do every day, regardless of their adults or children.

On the contrary, Old Man Li couldn't find his neighbors to slap their teeth all day long, especially after moving to Li's mansion, he went out less.

The old man did not have those elegant hobbies, and he could not even do the work in the mansion, but as the head of the family, he was lost.

It's also lonely. Shi's family is fine, but the woman in the house has a little more things to do.

And Old Man Li was really idle and was uncomfortable after he was idle.

After all, my life is hard work, facing the loess and facing the sky.

It is rare to see that there are many work in the village that he needs to do, but Old Man Li has developed more energy instead.
