Chapter 275 Finding a Farm
Wei Ruo wrote down some things that have happened recently, about the Dragon Boat Festival, and about the cold waves these days.
This cold wave also reminded Wei Ruo of the heavy rain in Xingshan County after the autumn harvest last year.
That day she went to the south of the city to save people. Her second brother came to pick her up in the rain, and then worked with her to help the affected people.
After that, they went to Xishan Village to rescue their father, and they stayed in the mountains all night together.
Thinking of this, my second brother has actually experienced many difficulties and dangerous things with her.
I don’t know where my second brother is doing what he is doing now. If the weather turns cold, he will wear clothes and whether he is catching a cold.
Thinking of this, Wei Ruo wrote words of greetings and concerns on the letter paper.
After writing, Wei Ruo looked at the letter paper and did not ask Xiumei to hand it over to the guard Jing Hu, but placed it under the account book.
Although I miss my second brother a little, it is better not to disturb him often. I don’t specifically ask for some trivial matters to come. I will save more next time and send them to you.
Early the next morning, Wei Ruo went outside the city early.
Wei Ruo did not go to his own village this time, but went to Shitou Village to find Shi Dayou.
The villagers of Shitou Village were extremely happy when they saw Wei Ruo and greeted Wei Ruo one after another.
Someone took the initiative to lead Wei Ruo to find Shi Dayou.
Shi Daewoo is now in his own field. Wei Ruo walked over and found that there was no grass left on the field that was supposed to be full of rice, revealing the bare Tiansaka.
"What's wrong with your field?" Wei Ruo asked.
Even if he encountered a cold wave, some rice would be frozen to death. Wei Ruo had not seen any piece of land that had frozen to death.
"Didn't this be a sharp drop in the temperature a few days ago and some rice were frozen to death? I replanted the remaining rice in my field for other villagers, so that the yield in the fields of those villagers with fewer fields at home can be guaranteed.
"Shi Dayou smiled and explained to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo once again understood why Shi Dayou was elected as the village chief by the villagers of Shitou Village at a young age. He had a heart full of heart for the villagers.
"Then aren't there any guarantees for you to finish your own harvest this year?" Wei Ruo said.
"I'm fine. I have a lot of fields. As long as the rice fields can be harvested normally this year, my family's food will be enough to eat if I have less of this field." Shi Dato explained.
"Then what do you plan to do with your empty field?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I have some left of late rice seeds you gave me last time. I plan to throw them into the fields these days. Maybe the seedling cultivation will be successful now and will catch up with the autumn harvest." Shi Dayou replied truthfully.
"Since you don't know if you can grow up, why don't you come and ask me?"
"Why are you so embarrassed to bother Mr. Xu?" Shi Dayou said embarrassedly, "Young Master Xu, you have helped us a lot. Besides, I am idle and I can try it."
Wei Ruo smiled and said, "You keep this paddy field. I will transport you some taro seeds in a few days. You will grow taro in this field."
Shi Dayou was a little surprised, but looking at Wei Ruo's sure-fire eyes, Shi Dayou chose to believe it.
"Okay, listen to Mr. Xu." Shi Dayou agreed immediately.
"How are the sweet potatoes grown on the sand?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It's a little frozen, but the person who is responsible for managing the sweet potato field has already made up for new things. I saw that the vine took root so much, and I felt that it should be time to wait until the weather warms up. If it doesn't take root, I'll think about it again.
Something else."
With his years of farming experience, Shi Dato took remedial measures in advance.
"Well, you've done a good job. If the weather can warm up later, it won't be a big problem. If you really want to freeze again, it's a natural disaster. It's not your problem. I won't blame you." Wei Ruo praised him.
Then, then
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will do our best to do our best." Shi Dayou expressed his opinion.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Dayou asked Wei Ruo: "Is Mr. Xu here to inspect the brewery today?"
"No today. I came to see the village. If you have the right ones, buy them and come and see the situation in your village." Wei Ruo replied.
Now it seems that Shitou Village is relatively good. Firstly, it is because the late rice seeds she planted, and secondly, Shi Otomo has good leadership and proper management.
"Mr. Xu wants to buy a farm?" asked Shi Dayou.
"Yes."
"There is a large farmhouse in Lianshan Village, ten miles east of the east. The owner of the farm was originally a big family in the city, and it seems that he is going to sell the farmhouse recently."
As the village chief, Shi Dayou knows more or less about the matters in these villages.
"What is the situation for sale?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I heard that the land in that farm is relatively barren, and the grain output was not very good in previous years. Last year, the tenants in the farm could not pay the rent, so naturally the owner had no harvest. This was frozen a few days ago, and again,
The hope given to this year is gone, and the owner probably thinks that this year is another year of bad harvest, so it would be more real to sell it and exchange it for some money."
"Then I'll go and take a look." Wei Ruo didn't care whether the land was barren or not. In her opinion, there was no truly barren land, only land that was improperly handled.
"Well, Mr. Xu is careful on the way."
After Wei Ruo ended his conversation with Shi Dayou, he and Xiumei got on the carriage again and went to Lianshan Village that Shi Dayou mentioned.
When I arrived at the place, I met the manager. After asking, the situation was consistent with what Shi Dayou said. The village had to be poor for many years, and not only the tenants could not survive, but even the owner could not bear it.
After asking, Wei Ruo learned that the owner of the farm sold was Fei Tuijuan.
The official position of the judging is of the same level as the Tongzhi, but unlike the Xu family, who is a famous family, Fei Tuizhao is from a poor family and has a strong family background. This Zhuangzi was also bought after he came to Taizhou Prefecture to work.
Even the verdict of the fee is too much to sell the banker, which shows that the year's course has had a great impact on everyone. Yun's concerns make sense. The situation of the Wei family is not good, so maybe they can't stand it anytime.
Then, then
Later, Wei Ruo obtained the consent of Zhuangzi's manager and visited the situation inside Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is in line with Wei Ruo's wishes, but the other party is an official, and Wei Ruo dares not talk to the other party easily. If the other party checks the household registration and finds that Xu Heyou is not the same person, it will be a disaster.
So after Wei Ruo asked about the situation, he planned to leave today, and planned to let the wet nurse and Uncle Xu go to another day, buy the farm in their name, and hang it in their name.
When leaving Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo met an acquaintance.
Jerry Fan actually came to visit Zhuangzi as well.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Jerry Fan laughed: "Is this considered a hero who has similar views?"
In terms of making money and saving grain, Wei Ruo and Jerry Fan's ideas coincide.
