MTL - A Blessed Daughter-Chapter 275 Find farms

  Chapter 275 Looking for a farm

  Wei Ruo wrote down some recent events, including the events of the Dragon Boat Festival and the cold wave of the past few days.

  The cold wave this time also reminded Wei Ruo of the heavy rain in Xingshan County after the autumn harvest last year.

   That day when she went to the south of the city to rescue people, the second brother braved the rain to pick her up, and then helped the affected people with her.

  After that, they went to Xishan Village to rescue their father together, and they stayed in the mountains together overnight.

  Thinking about it this way, the second brother actually experienced many difficult and dangerous things with her.

   I don’t know where the second brother is doing now, whether he should wear clothes when the weather turns cold, and whether he is cold.

  Thinking of this, Wei Ruo wrote down his greetings and concerns on the letter paper.

  After finishing writing, Wei Ruo looked at the letter paper, and did not ask Xiumei to hand it over to the guard Jing Hu, but put it under the account book.

  Although I miss my second brother a bit, it’s better not to bother him too often. I don’t want to send people over for some trivial matters. I will send them over when I save more next time.

  Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Ruo went outside the city early.

  Wei Ruo did not go to his own village this trip, but went to Stone Village to find Shi Dayou.

  The villagers of Shitou Village were very happy to see Wei Ruo, and greeted Wei Ruo one after another.

  Someone took the initiative to lead Wei Ruo to find Shi Dayou.

  Dayou Shi is now in his own field. Wei Ruo walked over and found that there was not a single blade of grass left on the field that should have been planted with rice, revealing the naked Tianban.

   "What's the matter with your field?" Wei Ruo asked.

  Even if there was a cold wave, some of the rice would freeze to death sporadically, and Wei Ruo hadn’t seen a single piece of the field freeze to death along the way.

"Didn't the temperature drop a few days ago, and some rice was frozen to death? I replanted the remaining rice in my field to other villagers, so that the output of those villagers with few fields could be guaranteed. "Shi Dayou explained to Wei Ruo with a silly smile.

  Wei Ruo once again understood why Shi Dayou was elected as the village head by the villagers of Shitou Village at a young age. He has a heart for the villagers wholeheartedly.

   "Then if you finish your own harvest this year, won't it be guaranteed?" Wei Ruo said.

   "I'm fine. My family has a lot of fields. As long as the rice fields can be harvested normally this year, my family will have enough food without this field." Shi Dayou explained.

   "Then what are you going to do with this vacant field?" Wei Ruo asked.

   "I still have some of the late rice seeds that you gave me last time, Mr. Xu. I plan to throw them into the fields in the next few days. Maybe the seedlings can be successfully raised now and catch up with the autumn harvest." Shi Dayou replied truthfully.

   "Since you don't know if it can grow, why don't you come and ask me."

   "How dare you trouble Mr. Xu." Shi Dayou said very embarrassedly, "Mr. Xu, you have helped us a lot. Besides, I am idle when I am idle. It doesn't hurt to try."

  Wei Ruo smiled and said: "Keep your paddy field, and I will transport you some taro seeds in a few days, so you can grow taro in your field."

  Shi Dayou was a little surprised, but seeing Wei Ruo's determined eyes, Shi Dayou chose to believe it.

   "Okay, listen to Mr. Xu." Shi Dayou agreed without hesitation.

   "How about the sweet potatoes grown on the sand?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It was damaged by the frost, but the person in charge of the sweet potato field has already added new ones. I think the vines are taking root very well. I think it should be in time. I'll see when the weather warms up. I'll think about it if it doesn't take root. Another way."

  Relying on his years of farming experience, Shi Dayou made remedial measures in advance.

"Well, you've done a good job. If the weather can warm up in the future, it won't be a big problem. If you really want to freeze again, it's a natural disaster. It's not your problem. I won't blame you." Wei Ruo praised .

   "Thank you Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, don't worry, we will do our best." Shi Dayou said.

   Immediately afterwards, Shi Dayou asked Wei Ruo: "Is Mr. Xu here to inspect the brewery today?"

   "Not today, I'm here to see Zhuangzi. If there is a suitable one, I will buy it, and I will come over to see the situation in your village." Wei Ruo replied.

   Now it seems that Stone Village is relatively good. Firstly, it is because all the late rice seeds provided by her are planted, and secondly, Shi Dayou has good leadership and proper management.

   "Master Xu wants to buy Zhuangzi?" Shi Dayou asked.

"Yes."

   "There is a large farm in Lianshan Village, ten miles to the east. The owner of the farm was originally a big family in the city. It seems that the farm is about to be sold recently."

  As the village head, Shi Dayou knew more or less about the affairs of these ten miles and eight towns.

   "What is the situation to sell?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I heard that the land in that village is relatively poor, and the grain production in previous years was not very good. Last year was especially bad. The tenants in the village couldn't pay the rent, and the owner's family naturally didn't have much harvest. The freeze a few days ago, and again The hope for this year is gone, and the owner probably thinks that this year is another bad year, so it would be better to sell it for some money.”

   "Then I'll go and have a look." Wei Ruo doesn't care whether the land is barren or not. In her opinion, there is no real barren land, only land that is not handled properly.

   "Well, Mr. Xu, be careful on the road."

  After Wei Ruo finished the conversation with Shi Dayou, he and Xiumei re-boarded the carriage and went to the Lianshan Village that Shi Dayou mentioned.

   When I arrived at the place, I met the steward, and after asking about it, the situation was exactly what Shi Dayou said. Zhuangzi’s grain was not harvested year after year, not only the tenants could not survive, but even the host’s family could not bear it.

  After questioning, Wei Ruo learned that the owner who sold the farm belonged to Fei Yipan.

  The official position of Judui is of the same level as that of Tongzhi, but unlike Xu's family, which is a famous family, Fei Tuidan came from a poor family, and his family background is not rich. This Zhuangzi was also bought by him after he came to Taizhou to work.

   Even Fei Juan can't bear it anymore and wants to sell Zhuangzi. It can be seen that this age has a great impact on everyone. Yun's worries are justified, the situation of the Wei family is not good, and they might not be able to handle it anytime soon.

   Then Wei Ruo obtained the consent of Zhuangzi's supervisor and visited the internal situation of Zhuangzi.

  Zhuangzi is in line with Wei Ruo's wishes, but the other party is an official, Wei Ruo dare not negotiate business with the other party easily, if the other party checks the household registration and finds that there is no such person as Xu Heyou, he will suffer.

  So Wei Ruo planned to leave today after asking about the situation, and planned to let the nanny and Uncle Xu go to another day to buy Zhuangzi in their name and hang it under their name.

   While leaving Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo met an acquaintance.

  Fan Chengxu even came to see Zhuangzi.

  Seeing Wei Ruo, Fan Chengxu laughed: "Does this mean that heroes see and agree?"

   In terms of making money and storing food, Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu have the same ideas.
