The Reborn Wife is Farming

In order to build Zhuangzi well, the money was spent like water, even if she knew that this was the existence of the back road, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

Originally, when they were buying property, the emperor got the list of their expenses and couldn't help thinking, "It's just a small village that cost more than 2,600 taels?"

"Yes, they have built a lot of houses in the village, all of which are for servants and long-term workers. Including the development of the three mountains, they have gone to a total of nearly five hundred taels. It is considered to be a village under construction, and it is about this price."

"How much money do they make a year?"

The dark guard thought for a while and said, "Based on last year's yield per mu and grain prices, a land of 180 mu would only earn 800 taels of silver, which is not counting the cost of farming."

The emperor knocked on the table, "So this is a loss-making business?"

The dark guard bowed his head, "Unless the Qi family has other uses, otherwise, this business is not worthwhile."

The emperor sneered, "Why don't they just ask Qi Haoran what they think? In the past few days, Qi Xiu has written letters to me every now and then, asking me to release Qi Haoran back to the Northland."

The dark guard didn't speak.

"How is the Yuan family?"

"The Yuan family hasn't moved at all. Although they are closer to the Qi Li family, they are not particularly close. They are both generals, so there is nothing unusual about them."

"Then keep watching." The emperor waved his hand to make the hidden guards retreat, and then summoned the servants, and asked him to go to Xuan Qi Haoran for an audience.

Qi Haoran didn't expect that the emperor would ask him about Zhuangzi, so he tried his best to suppress it so that he didn't show any strangeness.

The emperor asked with a smile: "Everyone said that the land would lose money, why are you still selling it? Even if you want to apologize to Prime Minister Qin, you don't have to beat around the bush like this?"

Qi Haoran, who was still thinking of a plan, was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, why should I apologize to Prime Minister Qin?"

"Didn't you annoy Qin Xiang by refusing to marry last time? You too, even if you want to apologize, you don't need to buy his servant's land, just send some things over there?"

Qi Haoran looked at the gossiping emperor, and shouted: "You can't wrong me, I'm a man of integrity, Your Majesty, the marriage depends on your love and my wish, and I never revealed that I wanted to marry his daughter , let alone abandoning it from beginning to end, there is nothing to apologize for, I bought that piece of land because I really liked it."

"Oh? What's so good about that land that it's worth your money to buy it?"

Qi Haoran blurted out, "Your Majesty, that is a treasure."

The emperor looked at him with piercing eyes, "But I heard that the area of ​​the land only covers 300 acres of hilltops and riverside depressions. How could it be a treasure land?"

Qi Haoran could only bite the bullet and said: "Don't look at the low land that can't be used for farming, but it can, it can raise fish, and it can also grow fruit trees on the mountain. In the end, the income may not be less than that of farming."

The emperor looked at him suspiciously, did he take him for a fool?

Qi Haoran could only blushed and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, just wait. When it comes to winter, you can see that the income of these mountains and lowlands is definitely higher than that of farmers."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the emperor could only nod his head and said, "I'm just asking, but it's possible that you have capable people under your command who can generate income."

Qi Haoran immediately retorted: "How can I have any capable people under my command? I listen to Mu's affairs in this kind of land, and she is very good at farming."

Seeing the emperor smiling and saying nothing, Qi Haoran knew that he didn't believe him. He could only emphasize it again and again. In the end, the emperor had already confirmed that their Zhuangzi must be tricky. Since the other party didn't say anything here, he could only ask people to stare at him, so he waved his hand. Let Qi Haoran go down.

Qi Haoran left the palace in frustration, the back road was exposed before it was completed, what is this called?

Qi Haoran was angry, why did the emperor always stare at him?

Didn't you just set up a Zhuangzi? There are so many courtiers who buy real estate every year, and there are even a few who take bribes. Why not just stare at him instead of others?

Qi Haoran returned home dejectedly, and said to Mu Yangling, "The emperor found out that our Zhuangzi is abnormal."

Mu Yangling was taken aback, "We didn't do anything."

Although they planned to use this Zhuangzi as a way out, they really didn't do anything at this time, they just invested in the normal Zhuangzi's construction.

Qi Haoran lay on the couch and said, "How could it be possible that we didn't do it? The emperor felt strange that we spent so much money, so he called me in to ask."

Mu Yangling said anxiously: "Then you admit it? Master, why are you so confused?"

"You think I'm stupid," Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "If I admit it, can I still be alive now?"

Qi Haoran said weakly: "I lied to him that that piece of land is a treasure land, and the income from the hills and lowlands will be greater than the income from the arable land in the future. I don't believe this, let alone him, but At any rate, he couldn't find out why we bought this land, so let's pinch the way out, and he's afraid he'll keep staring at this Zhuangzi all the time in the future."

Mu Yangling sat beside him in thought, and then slapped him on the back, "Who said that the benefits of lowlands and hills can't exceed that of farming?" Mu Yangling said with bright eyes: "We can try to develop Three-dimensional agriculture!"

Qi Haoran almost jumped up when he was patted by her, he was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "What is three-dimensional agriculture?"

Mu Yangling pulled a piece of paper, stained it with ink, and circled it a few times, saying: "We can plant fruit trees on the mountain. Of course, the income from the fruit trees may have to wait two or three years, but the distance between the rows of fruit trees is large. In two years, we can plant some soybeans, peanuts and the like between the rows."

"As for the lowlands, we can net our part of the river and raise fish in them. Even if the lowlands of more than 120 mu cannot be opened for farming, we can also use them to raise ducks, duck eggs and ducks. Meat is also profitable, don’t we have more than 50 servants and a lot of long-term workers? Let them do this during slack.”

Qi Haoran hesitated and said, "Can ducks be kept in depressions?"

"Of course, such a large meadow doesn't even need to cover the nest, and it can be stocked directly. When the time comes, we can tie up our trouser legs and go directly to find duck eggs. Ducks are raised in water."

"What about chickens? Can you raise chickens?"

Mu Yangling despised Qi Haoran, "Is it true that chickens are raised on land? Who do you see raising chickens in water?"

"Isn't it possible to raise chickens on the mountain?" Qi Haoran said casually.

Mu Yangling was taken aback, then smiled and praised: "You are so smart, yes, we can also raise chickens on the mountain, so that there are eggs to collect, and chicken manure can also be used as fertilizer, but raising chickens is also expensive , I can’t grow too many, maybe I can plant some vegetables among the fruit trees, it’s so close to Lin’an City, it’s easy to sell vegetables..."

The more Mu Yangling thought about it, the more open-minded she became, and in the end she ignored Qi Haoran. She lay down on the table and wrote down her thoughts. She didn't finish it until dinner time, after drying the ink on the paper He smiled and said, "If we can turn this land into a treasure land, will the emperor still stare at us?"

Qi Haoran thought for a while, and said: "Unless the income from this treasure land is so considerable that the emperor thinks that we are going to the land itself, otherwise he will still doubt us."

Mu Yangling said with great ambition: "Just wait, one day I will make everyone believe that this land is a treasure land."

Qi Haoran didn't hold much hope, but he didn't stop her, but he was already planning to find another way out.
