Listening to Zhang Jia's carefulness in order to find the gap in digging the river, Lin Jingzhi nodded with satisfaction. Nothing else, just looking at his serious and cautious work, it can make people feel much more at ease. After all, in this era
, Refining wasteland and digging canals are extremely huge projects, and they cannot be careless at all.
"Mr. Zhang, this wasteland seems very large. How much fertile land do you think can be leveled after it is opened?" Lin Jingzhi pointed to the direction of the wasteland and asked the answer he wanted to know the most.
Zhang Jia naturally knew about the benefits obtained by the Lin family, "Mr. Lin, how much wasteland can be opened here? Zhang and several assistants have made many measurements, but because
The area is too large, so Zhang can only give you a rough number."
Lin Jingzhi nodded when he heard this and signaled him to continue talking.
"If you use the drawings drawn by Zhang, the fertile land of Jieshi can be about 3 o'clock. The second-class land of the second-class land should be between 1 o'clock. The second-class land of the second-class land should be between 1 o'clock. The second-class land of the second-class land is the largest, about 28 o'clock.
In a while."
After listening to Zhang Jia's report, Lin Jingzhi secretly calculated that if the fertile land is between 3 o'clock and 15 taels of silver per mu of fertile land is calculated based on the land price at this time, and it is converted into silver. The total price is about 450,000 taels to 90,000 taels.
between.
Second-class fields are 1 ooo? hectares, calculated at 8 taels of silver per mu, and the total price is between 80,000 taels and 120,000 taels.
Yamada is the cheapest, but one acre is worth four or five taels of silver. If the area is between 28 o'clock? hectares, calculated based on one acre of four taels of silver, then the total price of silver is between 1.12 million taels and 1.32 million taels.
.
According to the most conservative numbers, 3 hectares of fertile fields, 1 hectares of second-class fields, 28 hectares of mountain fields, and 2.37 million taels of silver added up.
The Lin family spent 30,000 taels of land to buy land, and the grain cost was only 40,000 taels. In addition, the tens of thousands of taels of silver bribed by officials, what is the total amount of more than ten thousand taels of silver. If the two are reduced, the Lin family can earn at least 140,000 taels of silver.
silver.
Of course, the Lin family may not be in a hurry to sell the wasteland after opening it. If they can rent it to the tenant farmers to grow a value, the profit will naturally be more frequent.
There is no formula for multiplication and division in this era. To calculate the accounts, you must use paper and pen, or take a branch to calculate on the ground. Zhang Jia naturally couldn't guess Lin Jingzhi frowned and was thinking about something, and said, "Mr. Lin, these things are the same.
The numbers are the result that Mr. Zhang measured dozens of times before he got, and there shouldn’t be much deviation.”
"And different regions, the composition of the soil will be different. It has never been planted here before. It is normal for a poorer geology to have a larger area. Of course, Mr. Lin doesn't have to worry about this. There are many two here.
Waiting for the land is also excellent, so as long as the water conservancy is convenient and rented to tenant farmers for three or five years, the land will naturally become fertile land."
After Zhang Jia finished speaking, feeling a little thirsty, he came to the bank of Luo River, squatted down carefully, picked up a handful of clear water with his hands, put it beside his mouth and drank several sips.
The sun was already rising, and Lin Jingzhi rode his horse for an hour. At this time, he was tired and thirsty, so he walked towards the bank of the Luo River.
The surface of the Luo River in front of me is more than 30 meters wide, with rapid flow and rolling waves. When I walked closer, I could clearly see the riverbed underwater. Lin Jingzhi wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and squatted down and scooped it down.
He drank two mouthfuls of water.
The river water was cool, and it was a little sweet, which slid into his throat, making him feel much more comfortable when he was so hot all over.
"Mr. Zhang said that if you can rent these fields to tenants first, let them plant them for a few years, and then take out, it would be more cost-effective. By the way, in addition to the fields that can be reclaimed, there are a total of several hills here.
?” Wipe the water stains on your mouth, Lin Jingzhi asked again.
"There are more than 30 hills of all sizes here, but Mr. Lin doesn't have to worry about this. Just dig the canal according to the drawings drawn by Mr. Zhang, and at most you only need to dig through five hills that are not very large.
That's all, it won't take much work hours." Zhang Jia replied.
Lin Jingzhi responded when he heard this, very satisfied. Digging hills is not as good as flat ground, and it is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.
After saying that, Lin Jingzhi and his men led their horses and slowly walked down the wasteland. While walking, Zhang Jia pointed to the terrain and explained to Lin Jingzhi. Lin Jingzhi nodded while listening.
"Mr. Zhang, I looked at the drawings in your mansion last time. It seems that the direction of the canal is turning here?" Time passed quickly, and several people were chatting while walking. It was already afternoon, and Lin Jingzhi pointed at a quarantine.
In the direction of the hill, open your mouth to ask.
There are several smaller hills connected to the left and right of the hills, and there is a large wasteland behind them. Further behind, there is a small hill about a hundred meters high. At the foot of the hills, there are small hills after another.
, ups and downs, about a dozen.
Zhang Jia was too familiar with the drawings he had drawn, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin has a good memory. When the canal has arrived here, he avoided the hill in the distance, and then went to
Turn northeastward and you can return to the lower reaches of the Luo River.”
"Oh, what if I turn here, what should I do if the wasteland behind the hill?" Lin Jingzhi held the horse whip and pointed at the wasteland behind the hill to ask.
"Zhang had thought about bringing water there before, but the terrain here was too complicated and there were too many hills. And it was really not cost-effective to dig through a hill for such a small piece of wasteland.
.”
In fact, the late Lin Jingzhi had also come here to investigate and was quite familiar with the terrain here, so Lin Jingzhi has long had a general view of the direction of the canal. The reason why he didn't say it before was just to listen to it.
It's just Zhang Jia's opinion.
Last time he saw the drawings in Zhang's mansion, he felt that this place was very different from what he thought. Of course, if we talk about the design alone, Zhang Jia had done a good job, but for the future of Lin's mansion.
, He was obviously thinking more, "Mr. Zhang, I have no objection to the first half of the canal designed by you and your assistants, but when I got here, I hope you can change it."
Lin Jingzhi said, pointing at the direction of the hill ahead.
Zhang Jia had seen Lin Jingzhi listened to him all the time and did not express any different opinions. He also thought that Lin Jingzhi was young and had a lot of mind and could tolerate others. He was not a smart person, but he had a great impression of him again.
Sheng, when he heard this sentence, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly cried something wrong.
The drawings of this canal were drawn by him and several subordinates over three years. The issues to be considered are very complicated. Often, if you modify one place, you may involve three or five other places, so unless you have to do so, you must
, He really doesn't want to modify it.
If he hadn't taken Lin Jingzhi's money, he would have pulled down his face and said loudly to Lin Jingzhi. After all, this drawing was the result of his three years of hard work and countless pairs of shoes that were drawn.
Can you easily make people point fingers and make changes as soon as you say it?
Moreover, Lin Jingzhi's statement was plain and he did not pay attention to the fruits of his labor at all!
Although he knew that he was working for the Lin family now, he felt angry and his tone would inevitably fluctuate, "Change? How to change? Mr. Lin, do you think there is something wrong with the drawing drawn by Zhang and others?"
Seeing a hint of unpleasantness on Zhang Jia's face, Lin Jingzhi realized that he was not cautious enough just now, but no matter what, in order to win over some people in the future, this canal will be carried out.
