Chapter 71
Sun Xin shows his wealth at Sun Family Village
While eating, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but smile when she thought about how much money she had at home.
Sun Xin smiled and said to her: "Now you can rest assured. Tomorrow I will take a look at the village first, and then go to Dulonggang to pay off all the money for the wood, so that dad can feel relieved."
Come."
Hu Sanniang nodded: "That's what I said."
At this time, the maid Ya'er brought up a pot of noodles cooked with physalis. These days, this thing is called Shuiyin Pancake.
Sunjiazhuang has harvested a lot of wheat this year. In his previous life, Sun Xin no longer had any feelings for coarse grains and fine grains. However, in this era, due to the lack of material enjoyment, he found that fine grains are really much better to eat than coarse grains.
Since there is so much wheat, the staple food at home has directly evolved from stick noodles to white noodles. All kinds of noodles are a must-have in summer.
This sour soup mercury cake has a lot of fermented sour soup added to it. After being cooked carefully, it is very appetizing in summer.
Even so, when Sun Xin saw Hu Sanniang serving the noodles, there were still beads of sweat on her forehead.
The weather is getting warmer these days, and as soon as I entered the room in June, I couldn't sit still in this room with excellent warmth.
Hu Sanniang shook her head: "Why waste that money? When it's hot, just go downwind and sit. There is a pavilion in Fujiazhuang, but it's not that cool."
However, the condition of these lands is very bad. As far as you can see, there is only white sugar soil. This kind of land is very desertified. After water and fertilizer are poured on it, everything will seep away. No one will be willing to plant it.
The people on the other side were also aggrieved and pointed at the farmer here and said: "At that time, you saw that our land was vast and the grass on it had not been removed, so you thought that this might be a good piece of land, so you took the initiative to talk to me.
Let’s work together to reclaim the land. Why don’t we reject the land now that it’s sandy? If we had taken half of this land during the tenancy period, no one should blame the other.”
After riding on his horse, he drove forward and saw that there were two to three hundred acres in front of the land they had circled, all of which were covered with sand crops.
That night, Sun Xin found the craftsmen who were building watchtowers on the village and told them about the structure of Ziyu Pavilion.
The water flows from the height to the bottom and falls on the pavilion. When you walk into the pavilion in summer, you will have a cool scene.
The tenants who divided the fields cultivated mature land, and there were no problems with production. However, when Sun Xin came to the newly reclaimed land, he saw several villagers, making noisy noises and pushing each other.
When Zou Yuan heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he whispered to Sun Xin: "It goes all the way south from here, and we haven't started to reclaim the areas further south, but the area just opened is
It’s over a hundred acres.”
He thought for a while and said to Hu Sanniang: "Let's build a pavilion on the village when we get back."
Sun Xin quickly took the bowl from Hu Sanniang's hand and said, "I'll scoop it out myself. You sit down."
Sun Xin communicated his design with the craftsmen, and the craftsmen quoted Sun Xin a price. It would cost more than one hundred taels just to build such a pavilion.
When he was talking, a banker on one side rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the people on the other side and said: "This land was originally allocated to them. They just borrowed our labor. Now they say this land belongs to us."
We reclaimed the land together with them. This is not our land. The owner of the farm knows clearly that when the time comes, they will plant their own land and don't rely on us."
Sun Xin has long wanted to build a rain pavilion like the one he saw in popular science books before, but he never had the money. Now that he has money, he will definitely build a cool house so that he can
Wife enjoys the enjoyment.
"How much area does this land have?"
The scorching heat of summer in this time and space really leaves people with nowhere to hide, not to mention air conditioning, not even an electric fan.
When the craftsman heard that Sun Xin had made the decision and saw how readily he took the money, he immediately said that it would be easy to build the pavilion, but it would only take ten days to complete it.
Sun Xin squatted at the head of the field and studied it carefully, then turned around and asked Xie Zhen to fetch the horse.
The Ziyu Pavilion does not require much water, so Sun Xin had already had the idea to build the pavilion directly on a lake in the village, and then set up a windmill next to it. The windmill was connected to the waterwheel with a transmission shaft.
, the terrain of Shilipai is flat, and the wind is very strong near the sea. The power provided by the windmill is enough to lift the water in the lake to a high altitude.
It is unrealistic to ask someone to follow you around all the time to fan yourself. Not to mention that the effect is not good, just following someone around when you are walking around makes people upset. It is just annoying.
Sun Xindao: "I know a kind of pavilion that leads water to the pavilion and flows down to take away the heat. Even on hot days, it can be much cooler than other places. We will build one like that on our village."
Sun Xin looked at the land they had reclaimed and found that these lands were at the center of his Sunjiazhuang's land expansion and could not be abandoned. They would definitely need to be cultivated by then.
When Zou Yuan saw Sun Xin coming back, he had a headache and said, "Master, what do you think we should do?"
Early the next morning, Sun Xin hurriedly went to Zhuangzi to check on the farming situation.
Hu Sanniang was a little reluctant to part with money, but Sun Xin agreed: "This matter is settled like this."
But if it were placed on a field like this in later generations, as long as the drainage is good and the fertilizer can keep up, this kind of land will still be good land. But under today's conditions, Zhuangkemen would definitely not want to farm such land.
What's more, Hu Sanniang's body is even heavier now that she is pregnant.
Sun Xin said with a smile: "Just change it. You arrange a group of people to drain the land. I will send people to buy river mud and mix it finely into the white sugar soil. After that, it will still be a fertile field."
Hu Sanniang looked at him and smiled and said, "If you say that, I won't say anything." But she was happy in her heart. After all, she knew that Sun Xin wanted to build this pavilion for her consideration.
Sun Xin hurriedly went up to ask what was going on. Zou Yuan, who was trying to stop the fight, said to Sun Xin in a very embarrassed tone: "One hundred or dozens of acres of our newly opened land are sandy lands. The two groups of people are afraid that these lands will be lost next year."
They want it to be divided into their own hands, and they are pushing the blame between each other."
Obviously these are sandy soils, but Sun Xin discovered that these lands are not completely irreversible alkaline soils. The main reason for the desertification of these lands is because of the low-lying terrain and poor drainage, which has prevented enough growth for a long time.
Tall plants cannot leave too much nutrients, which makes this land very barren.
Several craftsmen thought for a long time and said to Sun Xin: "It is not difficult to build a pavilion. The key is how to bring the water up?"
No wonder this thing belongs to luxury consumption, but now he has enough money. Moreover, if he builds this thing in his village, he doesn’t have to worry about being seen by outsiders. With a wave of his hand, he asked the craftsmen to build this Ziyu Pavilion while repairing the watchtower.
Get it done for him too.
Zou Yuan was confused: "How much does it cost to do this?"
Sun Xin did not answer. This method is of course the best. Although it will cost more to convert all this land into fertile farmland this year, it will definitely be earned back in the future.
Zou Yuan remembered that Zou Run returned home yesterday. Although he kept tight-lipped, Zou Run paid back all the money he owed him at once, and also paid a lot of money for his wife and children at home to buy new clothes and food.
When he got up this morning, he said that he wanted to renovate the house. Zou Yuan thought that they must have made money during their trip, but now he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Sun Xin's work in improving the land.
Sun Xin seemed to have earned a lot more money this time than he had imagined.
