Chapter 71

After explaining the thief's problem, Li forgot to worry. Suddenly, he remembered seeing the wasteland by the river yesterday.

It happened that Yang Zuan came to the village today, so he didn't have to go to the county government again. He hurriedly asked, "dare you ask the Ming government, but the wasteland next to the river beach in the north of Dingzhou village belongs to the county?"

"Good."

"Can you buy that land, boy?"

Yang Zuan was stunned and didn't understand what Li forgot to worry about buying the saline alkali land for.

"Why did you buy that wasteland?"

After a little hesitation, Li decided to tell the truth: "open up wasteland."

"Nonsense, that's saline alkali land. How to open up wasteland?"

"Hei hei, I naturally have a way, otherwise I won't spend money wrongly to buy that land. Aren't I thinking about turning waste into treasure to make money and return the public money in the county?"

Li Qieyou didn't expect his words, but Yang Zuo suddenly stood up, pointed to himself with trembling hands and an excited face.

"Ziyou, you can't joke about this. Can you really let the saline alkali land grow food?"

Even Liu Xiao on one side was excited. The hand that originally stroked his beard trembled and pulled out several whiskers. He didn't know the pain. Instead, he grabbed Li forgetful's arm: "Xiao Lang, tell me quickly, what does it mean?"

"Er, that's what I just said. I'm going to improve the saline alkali land and then open up wasteland to grow grain." Li forgets you. Why are the two so excited?

"Is there any way to turn waste into treasure in saline alkali land?" Yang Zuo asked.

Li forgot to worry but refused to say. He also saw that Yang Zuan and Liu Xiao were very nervous about this. Is there a lot of saline alkali land in the Tang Dynasty?

"Why are the Ming government and the master book so nervous?"

"Ziyou, do you know that Guanzhong road has a dense population, so there has always been less land and more people." Yang Zuo sighed and sat down again.

Li forget worry naturally knows that according to the regulations, the original land grant in Datang should be 100 mu per household, but in Guanzhong Road, only 20 mu per household can be granted.

"There are many Taoists in Guanzhong, but there are only tens of thousands of mu of saline alkali land, which can only be wasted there. If Ziyou really knows how to manage saline alkali land, it is a great achievement of thousands of living Buddhas. The county must write a letter to the court for you, seal an official and add a rank."

Yang Zuan's explanation suddenly made Li forget his worries. He didn't expect that there would be so many saline alkali lands in Guanzhong road.

However, Xie Jing was not sensitive when he was appointed as an official. He didn't have time to hide. Where would he rush to be an official.

"Ming mansion, I really know a little about the management of saline alkali land, and I can teach you. But I can't compare it with the court. Hey hey, how about reducing the debt? You see, 10000 mu of saline alkali land is 10000 mu of good land if it can be reclaimed. Don't you pay me 100 yuan per mu?"

Yang Zui and Liu Xiao didn't understand what Li forgetful said about the consulting fee, but they understood what Li forgetful said.

Yang Zuan's eyes stared again: "nonsense! Can the county reduce or exempt the public money privately? If your method is practical, the county will report it to the court and strive for rewards for you."

His words made Li forget his worries and want to take his secret without paying. Is it too disrespectful of intellectual property rights?

Before Li Qieyou spoke, he heard Yang Zuo say, "but the county can decide to put the 300 mu wasteland in Dingzhou village under your name. This is a great event beneficial to both the country and the people. Ziyou must not fool around."

Well, Yang Zuan's big hat is off, and Li forgets to worry. Moreover, it's not a loss to get 300 mu of land in vain.

He was about to nod his head and promise, but he swallowed it again.

It's best to ask the opinions of the beautiful boss. Don't be confused and do a loss making business.

The top students majoring in business administration at the University of Pennsylvania can't be wasted.

Li forgets to worry and runs out to find Su Changqing.

After talking to Su Changqing about their dialogue with Yang Zui just now, he eagerly waited for Su Changqing to give his opinions.

Sure enough, after listening to his words, the beautiful boss whispered in his ear and let Li forget his worries and slap his thigh fiercely.

I almost lost money again!

Su Changqing asked him to ask the county for cattle.

Datang farm cattle are very expensive. The price of adult farm cattle is high, about 20 years. In order to protect farm cattle, killing cattle is not allowed in Datang. Even accidental deaths of cattle must be reported to the government.

There are less than ten farm cattle in Dingzhou village. One farm cattle can farm 23 mu of land a day. It takes a day's rest to recover its strength.

More than 2000 mu of land in Dingzhou village is cultivated by manpower, which is also one of the reasons why Dingzhou village is barren.

Su Changqing thought that the way to control the saline alkali land could be handed over to chaotang, but it was not enough to give them the 300 mu wasteland in Dingzhou village. At least ten cattle had to be added. Otherwise, even if Li forgetful could manage the land, he couldn't find enough people to cultivate it.

Li forgot his worries about Su Changqing's words.

After returning to the hall house, Li forgot to worry and smiled. He put forward his conditions to Yang Zuo. In addition, he added two horses to Su Changqing's conditions. He was tired of walking outside.

Although I have money to buy it now, I can save a little and still owe a huge debt.

"Ming House, you see, there are only four people in my family. There is no strong labor. Even if you manage that saline alkali land, no one can cultivate it? Not to mention that you can't manage the saline alkali land without cattle." the reason Li forgets to worry about makes Yang Zuo speechless.

Indeed, he and Liu Xiao are very clear about the current situation of the Li family, but the condition of ten cattle and two horses makes Yang Zui hesitate a little: "Ziyou, are you sure your method can work?"

"At least the land of Dingzhou village is really feasible. The saline alkali land boys in other places can't fully guarantee it. You know, every land is not the same in the Ming Dynasty."

Li Qieyou didn't say anything. Saline alkali land is divided into alkaline soil and acidic soil. His method is suitable for the treatment of saline alkali land of alkaline soil. As for acidic soil, it's not impossible, but he can't guarantee the effect.

Yang Zuan and Liu Xiao looked at each other a little and nodded silently. Yang Zuan directly agreed to Li forgetful's request.

"In this way, I will agree to your request, but if I can't plant things, farm cattle and horses, the county government can take them back. Ziyou can agree?"

Li Lianyou naturally agrees to this condition. If the improvement of saline alkali land fails, he will be embarrassed to farm cattle.

The two sides negotiated terms, and the county government sent petty officials to record how Li forgetful improved the land. Li forgetful must ensure that he imparted his methods to these petty officials without reservation.

When crops are planted in that wasteland, Yang Zuo will report the matter to chaotang and ask for credit for Li forgetfulness.

Li forgot his worries and didn't care at all. He didn't want to be an official.

After the guests and hosts had a good time, Li forget you respectfully sent Yang Zuan and Liu Xiao out. Yang Zuan suddenly remembered something and asked Li forget you, "Ziyou, I heard you bought a lot of food, but why?"
