Lin Wan understood that Ye Shen was asking her to say the next thing, and he was very good at it. Xie Huang had indeed said similar things before, so he continued Ye Shen's words and said: "Uncle Xie said... he wanted to combine work and rest."

"Yes, yes, that's what Uncle Xie said. You should pay attention to the combination of work and rest when studying." Ye Shen nodded repeatedly.

Old Ye frowned slightly, looked at Ye Shen and Lin Wan, and saw that both children were serious, and this was obviously not something that two children aged four or five could make up by themselves.

It is obvious that Xie Huang really taught them this way!

Combining work and rest, yes, whether it is hard or brain, you have to combine work and rest.

After all, he was still influenced by the events of the Mid-Autumn Festival and became impatient!

The grandchildren are still young, even the oldest Ye Qing is only twelve years old, and her days of studying are very short. How can she succeed if she has to take the exam for fame and fortune without ten years?

Even if the Ye family became a farmer, Ye Qing and Ye Zhan were still still a farmer, and they could really not get involved in farm work for the rest of their lives?!

Dad Ye’s mind was clear, and Ye Zhan naturally saved the task of mowing grass. Of course, he was also taught a lesson by Ye Damin that night, so that he could understand some of Dad Ye’s thoughts, restrain his temperament, and spend more time on studying.

Although Ye Zhan is still absent-minded, he has become interested in studying. He has naturally listened to Ye Damin. From then on, he has naturally worked harder in studying, which is not in vain that Dad Ye’s thoughts.

Mr. Ye is naturally very pleased with his grandson's sensibility. He is inevitably urged to study hard in daily life, but he puts more thoughts back on developing the economy.

The remaining wine was settled on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family suddenly had hundreds of taels of silver.

It is naturally not possible to keep a few hundred taels of silver at home like this. Dad Ye planned to buy some more land, but he did not plan to buy fertile land. After thinking about it over and over again, he decided to buy the remaining land on the slope of Hongfeng Village to plant grapes together.

The soil on this slope is a little thinner, but it is not impossible to save it. It is just that people have to work hard. However, they used manpower and shoulders to transform seven or eight acres of slopes. Now they have a donkey cart at home, so it will no longer be as hard as before when they went to the river to pull mud.

However, before this, there is another thing that is more important than buying land to reclaim land, that is, collecting rent and paying land tax after the autumn harvest.

Originally, this matter was only left to Qi Zhuangtou, and Qi Zhuangtou was also quite reliable.

However, considering that this was the first time the Ye family collected rent and paid land tax, Ye’s father decided to take Ye Damin to the village to live for a few days, and personally stared at Qi Zhuangtou and finished the matter before he could feel at ease.

The area around Qingzhou Prefecture is relatively dry this year. Fortunately, the Ye family's Zhuangzi is close to the river, and there is no shortage of water. There is also a good farm head to manage it, and Qi Anhe helps to keep an eye on it. Although the drought has some impact on the harvest of rice this season, it is generally pretty good.

According to Zhuangtou, the yield per mu of the Ye family farm was not large, only less than 10% lower than last year.

There are 77 acres of fertile land in this farm, all of which are planted are rice; the fifteen acres of sand are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The method and proportion of rent collection this year are the same as before. The average yield per mu of land planted by the farm head is 70% rent.

The Ye family only harvested 15,000 kilograms of rice, as well as 800 kilograms of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes each in autumn.

After the autumn harvest, I face the tax on land to the government.

The land tax in the Dayu Kingdom is quite reasonable. After paying the land tax, Dad Ye felt very satisfied when he saw two warehouses of grain!

I will definitely not be able to finish so much food at home. After full consideration, Dad Ye plans to keep half of it and sell half.

"Dad, will it be too much to keep half of the food? Our family has enough rice every meal in two years." Ye Damin naturally knew how much rent he had collected. He was a little confused when he learned about Mr. Ye's plan.

Dad Ye glanced at Ye Damin. Although he sighed in his heart, he still explained to him carefully: "We cannot guarantee that there will be a harvest next year. We will be at ease with more grain. We don't plan to stay here just like this. You will have more food these days. You will have more hard work. Come and transport a truck home every day. By the way, there shouldn't be much living in the field. If Anhe has nothing to do, let Anhe be with you."

Ye Damin nodded and said, "Today Anhe asked me, but he could help me. He should also want to transport the collected grain back."

Although Qi Anhe had five acres of land in his hand, he had to deduct the grain paid to the former tenant in advance by the Ye family, Qi Anhe still had several hundred kilograms, which was almost exceeding the harvest of the two acres of land in Hongfeng Village, Qi Jia after paying the land tax for one quarter.

These days, I am busy cleaning up the five acres of land, thinking about whether I can plant something before planting wheat, which can not only increase the income of the Ye family, but also naturally increase the income for myself.

Ye’s father Ye Damin told Qi An to stop making trouble and ask him to help Ye Damin move grain. There is something to do in Hongfeng Village that needs his help.

The area of ​​Qingzhou Prefecture usually planted for two seasons, one season of wheat and one season of rice. Although it is still a while before the wheat is planted, nothing can be planted.

Dad Ye was about to make a time difference and dig a larger cellar in the backyard of Banpo yard of Hongfeng Village.

Originally, he planned to build two more rooms, one for storing wine and the other for storing grain, but after seeing Ye Shen and Lin Wan burying a small jar of wine under the tree, he suddenly changed his mind.

Wine should be stored in a cool place to last longer, and the cellar should be a good place to store wine.

With a cellar, you can also store other things, such as cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

Digging a cellar is not a simple project. It’s just that the father and son are not good at it, but it takes a lot of time.

Of course, I can ask for help, but Mr. Ye didn't want more people to know his secrets, so Qi Anhe became the best helper.

On the day after paying the land tax, Ye Daddy told Qi Zhuangtou, and then he pulled a donkey cart of food back to Hongfeng Village with Ye Damin and Qi Anhe.

Half of the food in this donkey cart is from the Ye family, and half of it is from Qi Anhe.

The cellar on the half slope is not easy to dig. After trying several places, I could only dig two feet down and encountered rocks, and then I could no longer dig.

Unfortunately, Dad Ye had to find a place again. After searching for it, he really found a place that looked quite suitable for him.

However, this place was not within the territory of the Ye family, so Dad Ye went to find Village Chief Xie to buy all the hills.

After the autumn harvest, the old village chief indeed handed over the village chief to Xie Hui.

The village held a meeting and announced that on that day, Mr. Ye and Ye Damin were busy in the village and were not at home. It was a meeting attended by Chen's representative of the Ye family. It is said that the Xie family's ancestral hall was very lively that day.

So this time, the person Mr. Ye was looking for naturally became the newly appointed village chief Xie Hui, but the old village chief was sitting on the kang.
