Chapter 691 Cannon fodder is not wishful thinking 17
After the construction of the house started, Wushuang contacted the seller of flowers, trees and fruit seedlings and ordered dozens of adult fruit trees to be transplanted next spring. In addition to the fruit trees, Wushuang also bought a variety of flowers to ensure that they would bloom in all seasons.
Wushuang's big house was not completed until autumn. At the same time as the house was completed, the king fish that we raised could finally be sold.
King fish is a fish that grows very fast, but one year is not enough to grow into a fish that can be sold.
Even now that it is early autumn, it is not the most suitable time to sell fish kings. It is too early, even if it is not until winter comes.
Moreover, the most suitable time to sell the king fish is after three years of breeding. After three years, the size of the king fish has reached its maximum size and the price has also increased. It is the time to maximize profits by selling it again.
But it's useless to know. The villagers are too poor. During this period, they compressed their rest, even sleeping time, to farm and raise fish.
But the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the high-intensity work of the autumn harvest makes it impossible for them to distract themselves from continuing to raise fish, otherwise it will really kill them, so if they don't give up, these king fish will have to be sold.
Shen Laosan had already arranged the sales of the fish kings in advance, and successfully sold out all the fish kings raised by the villagers.
All the fish kings were sold and exchanged for about 800 to 1,000 taels of silver per household. At first, everyone couldn't believe it when they saw so much money.
Some fierce people raised their hands and slapped themselves twice. They grinned in pain, but they couldn't stop the joyful smile on their faces. Only when they felt the pain did they dare to believe that they had really earned so much money.
Wushuang's big house has been built. The villagers are envious every time they see it when they pass by. Now that they have money, everyone feels that the housing issue should be put on the agenda.
Of course, the most important thing is that when Wushuang talks about money, it is based on how much money is given to build a house. That is to say, if you work fast or slow, you will earn this money, so naturally it is better to work faster.
I have to say that Wushuang guessed correctly. After she found Li Biting, Li Biting immediately wrote a letter to Wushuang, using the private seal of Marquis Yongyi, and asked Wushuang to take the letter back.
Especially after receiving hundreds or even thousands of real gold and silver, Wushuang has become a belief-like existence in the hearts of the villagers, so no matter what Wushuang says, they will firmly support it without questioning even if they don't understand it.
Every household in the village had to build a house because there were too many houses to build. Wushuang discussed it with the village chief Xiao Jin and held a collective meeting with all the villagers.
The main issue of the collective meeting is to discuss with everyone, let the village go to the city, hire a large house-building team, find 1,800 people, and build all the houses together, which can save a little time.
After the emotions of surprise, disbelief, and unreality, etc., pure joy arose in everyone's hearts, and then, crazy cheers rang out throughout the village.
The villagers had no objection, so the matter of hiring people fell to Wu Shuang and Shen Laosan. They ran around Fucheng for two days before they found all the people, and started work immediately after returning to the village.
Every household packed their bags home, had a good meal, took a shower and changed into new clothes. Then everyone began to feel that the house they lived in was not pleasing to the eye.
Wushuang himself also tried to go to the county town to go through the formalities of converting the land into a pond to raise fish. Then Wushuang was kicked back and forth by the people from the county government for a day, but nothing was done.
While everyone was busy happily building the mansion, Wushuang was taking three very large fish kings fished out from the Canglan River and worked hard all the way to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion to deliver gifts and ask Li Biting to do something.
When you have money, you need to go shopping immediately. Everyone rushes to the county town to buy, buy, buy clothes! Buy bedding! Buy meat! Buy rice and flour! Buy snacks and candies. Buy all kinds of things that you think are useful. Today’s consumption is not enough.
Reason is needed.
If you want to convert the cultivated land into fish ponds for fish farming, you must obtain the government's permission, and the process of going to the government for permission to dig fish ponds is even more complicated.
Wushuang is not afraid of going through this process, but as he said, the villagers can't bear it. In this case, it is better to find his backer, Mrs. Yongyi Marquis Li Biting. As long as Li Biting speaks, this matter will not matter at all.
With the blessing of money and meals of rice, white noodles and meat, the people who worked were working very hard. If the master is so interesting, they must also be interesting.
The villagers had no objections, because it was Wushuang who originally proposed this proposal. If it weren't for Wushuang, they wouldn't be able to earn so much money, let alone build a house.
Because they liked Wushuang's mansion very much, the villagers pushed the village chief Xiao Jin to find Wushuang, saying that they wanted to visit Wushuang's house and then build a house based on Wushuang's house.
However, land management in ancient times was very strict. If the land was left vacant without planting, or if other crops were planted without authorization, one would be punished.
The villagers were anxious to build houses, and they also followed the house builders to help. Everyone wanted to have the houses built before winter.
As soon as Wushuang sent the letter to the county government, seeing the letter from Mrs. Yongyihou, several of the clerks who had been extremely indifferent to Wushuang last time became enthusiastic, even a little flattering.
The Fish King made so much money in the first year. This was despite the fact that the Fish King had only been raised for a short period of time, and each fish could only be sold for 2 to 4 taels, and each family had a loss of 400 fry.
Although when calculating how much money the Fish King could be sold for, every family thought about how much money their family would earn, but thinking about it and actually seeing the money income were very different.
With real money coming into their account, everyone's first reaction is to improve their lives and eat a lot of meat first. Of course, the most important thing is to continue raising fish kings next year, because raising fish kings is so profitable.
In order to build the house as quickly as possible, Xiao Jin and Wu Shuang invited a team with the best reputation in Fucheng and recognized as very fast in building houses. As expected, these people worked hard and were very sincere.
Wushuang simply designed several house plans and gave them to the villagers, asking them to build houses according to whichever one they liked.
It's not impossible for Wushuang to do it by himself, but it will definitely take too much time and experience.
Because Wushuang is going to ask all villagers to turn their land into fish ponds and start officially large-scale breeding of king fish.
There was no need for Wushuang to be busy on his own after that, everything was done, and all the procedures were taken care of. It was really a world of difference between people and no one.
After Wushuang settled the land issue, she went back and immediately called in the people who helped her dig the fish pond. This time she wanted to dig the fish pond, and the fish pond was dug beside the river.
Of course, before digging the fish pond, Wushuang hired a group of day laborers to collect all the grain from the fields before digging the fish pond.
When Wushuang was digging fish ponds in full swing, people in the village also realized that they should dig fish ponds. For a while, everyone regretted building a house first. They should have built the fish ponds first. Fish ponds are an indispensable treasure for them to make money.
