Chapter 360 The most soft-hearted person

Zhulan explained, "If you want to get married in the future, I hope that all the girls around you have family members. At least Dashu will get married with you, and the family will still hold it in my mother's hands and dare not betray you, or if my mother doesn't leave Wanjia, she will give you all the Wanjia room, and you can hold it yourself."

She was really worried about the three newly bought girls, especially Li Qiu, who was voluntarily selling herself at the age of ten, which really threatened her family. Li Qiu was the easiest to betray her. Zhulan thought to herself, no wonder that the big family liked to have children when watching ancient TV dramas!

Xuehan was taught, "Mom, why didn't you buy all the servants of the whole family? How many of them did you buy in the Liqiu?"

Zhulan smiled, "Not to mention that there are so many servants to buy in the house, just say that there are not all servants in the house. My mother is also wary of them, so that they will not get married and join forces to fool us in the future. Buy some servants and girls who come in. These servants and girls can only rely on their masters and will be the most obedient. There are two voices in the house. You must remember that everything must be balanced. If you want balance, you need checks and balances. The academic knowledge here is great, and my mother will teach you slowly in the future."

Li stood aside and listened for a long time, his mind was confused, and he was confused about checks and balances, marriage and alliance. Forget it, she didn't want to, just listen to her mother's words.

Li said: "Mom, I'm back to the yard with the silk flowers. I want to go to the market with the head of the company. Yesterday, they all lined up to get the food. Today, I want to see if there are anyone in the market."

Zhulan, “Go.”

When Zhulan was left alone, Zhulan distributed the money from her family and left 5,600 taels for the family's income. She put away all the remaining 7,000 taels.

Yesterday, I asked Zhou Shuren that the wasteland was not counted within 200 acres. She decided to buy only twenty acres of land for household use, and all the rest were bought for mountain land. Now I don’t have to go there, so I just hand it over to Butler Ding.

Mr. Ding has more experience than Mr. Zhou. He spent less than two hours to buy land. He completed the mountain and field land. He went out to see the mountain roads. Otherwise, he would have been delayed even faster. He bought 180 acres of mountain land, which was a gift, totaling 216 acres, fifteen acres of dry land, and five acres of paddy fields. Lizhou City has few paddy fields, expensive paddy fields, 13 taels of silver per acre, and dry land is cheaper than those in the northeast, and four taels of silver per acre.

I spent about 400 taels of silver to buy land, including taxes for the contract, etc.

The eldest couple came back almost noon, and Zhulan frowned, "Why are you back? Butler Ding has been back for almost half an hour after buying the land."

If there weren't many people following her, she thought something had happened.

Mr. Zhou said: "Mom, there are people coming to sell wild vegetables and fish in the market today. I think there are too few. A few little kids selling wild vegetables said they still have them at home. When we saw that the little kid was very pitiful, we felt soft and said we wanted them all. But the little kid was taking time to walk back. Li and I couldn't bear it, so we took it back with a carriage."

Li continued, "When we arrived in the village, we knew we were here to buy wild vegetables. Many families came to ask if we wanted them? When I thought our family bought wild vegetables every year and ate them in winter, we left us to collect wild vegetables, which wasted a lot of time."

Zhulan looked at the boss and Li family. One of the whole Zhou family was counted on each other. The softest one was the couple. "How many did they buy?"

Li grinned, and she knew that her mother-in-law would not be angry. "Mom, I bought two carts, and I also said that I would pick wild vegetables in the future and I would ask someone to collect them."

Boss Zhou added: "Mom, I bought it for two cents per pound, and I bought it for more than three hundred pounds."

Bamboo orchid, “…….”

This is to buy all the wild vegetables from several nearby villages!

Zhulan waved, "Don't pile up when you buy it. Hurry up and dry what should be done, don't be rotten."

Li left quickly, "Mom, I'll go and have a shower now."

At noon, there were wild vegetables and fish on the dining table of Zhou's family. The fish were quite big, so people took the risk of going down the river to exchange for money.

In the afternoon, Zhulan changed her clothes and took a carriage to check the mountain. The mountain was close to Lizhou City. The wild vegetables on the mountain had been dug up long ago, and there were some vegetation. More than 200 acres of mountain land were really not small.

Boss Zhou looked at the mountain in front of him, "Mom, are these two mountains ours owned?"

Bamboo orchid, “Yes.”

Boss Zhou was worried again, "Mom, there are too many mountains? Do you plant sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

In Boss Zhou’s impression, only sweet potatoes are grown in the mountains.

Zhulan could imagine the orchard, and said with a smile, "I plan to plant apple trees on the mountain near the top of the mountain, and plant some watermelons at the foot of the mountain, and then plant winter wheat after the watermelons are harvested."

Boss Zhou took a breath. There were many fruit trees planted in such a large area of ​​mountainous land. "Mom, our family wants to buy a lot of fruit trees!"

Zhulan had a clear mind after seeing the earth, and said with a smile: "Of course, after planting the fruit trees, the mountains will be handed over to you in the future. Follow you in the beginning of spring. Don't let your mother down!"

The only thing that Mr. Zhou could do was farming, but he had never been caught in an apple tree or a watermelon. His scalp was a little numb for a moment. Moreover, the first time he was in charge of such a big deal at home, he had no idea at all.

Seeing that Boss Zhou was unconfident, Zhulan still needed to practice hard, "It's not that you were asking you to do it yourself. You spent money to hire someone to do it, but you would only be responsible for staring at it?"

When Boss Zhou heard this, he had become more and more convenient to spend money since he became the Zhou family. He did, "Mom, I must take good care of the mountains."

Now that the land is available, the Zhulan family needs to hire a lot of people, and the family brings a lot of food. Zhulan also prepares half of the grain and half silver to pay wages, which can also help Zhou Shuren relieve some of the burden.

In the following days, not only Zhou Shuren was busy, but also Zhulan was busy. She calculated how many fruit trees she needed to buy, and how many people she hired to help her. She also had to dig the ice cellar at home. After calculation, Mr. Ding and Mr. Zhou were sent to Sichuan to select fruit trees and hire fruit farmers.

After the Zhulan family was transported back batches of fruit trees, it had been more than ten days since the Zhou family arrived in Lizhou City.

Zhou Shuren has started construction of roads and ponds, and the entire city of Lizhou is full of people working everywhere, and Lizhou City has initially stabilized.
