Chapter 40 Ask someone to farm

But this is the Qinglong Kingdom, and one mu of land here is only 465 square meters, not the modern 666.67 square meters.

In her first life, she looked through the account books of the Zhuangzi at home. Most of the land can only produce 300 catties per mu of land, and many lands can only produce about 200 catties.

When encountering barren land or drought, it is common for an acre of land to weigh more than 100 catties.

Based on the average yield of 200 catties per mu, a total of 1,400 catties of rice can be produced from 7 mu of land, and only about 900 catties of milled rice can be produced.

There are seven people in their family, and most of them are men. When they are growing up, nine hundred catties of rice a year is not enough.

Moreover, most of the land in Qinglong Kingdom will be idle in winter, and there is no way to grow food at all.

Of course, no one dares to grow food in winter. Grain seeds are also food. Basically everyone thinks that planting in winter is a waste of food.

After this year, taxes will be paid next year, and half of the output of 900 catties will have to pay taxes, which is not enough to eat.

Ordinary people will definitely go hungry if they only rely on farming, so many young and middle-aged farmers will go to the city to find work when they are slack.

Some people can eat bran, but she can't eat something that hurts her throat. She has to do some business to make money.

Nan Gongsheng asked in surprise: "Ashan, where did you get these things?"

"I asked someone to borrow it."

"Oh."

Except for Yang Ruolan and Nan Gongxiu, everyone started to get busy, including a few younger children.

It took three days for them to tidy up all the land. Nangong Anshan went to the official to ask for grain seeds.

It's just that she doesn't know how to farm at all, and the injuries in her family are weak, weak, and small, which are not suitable for farming.

If King Li hadn't asked them to farm, she wouldn't be willing to do so.

There are a lot of medicinal materials in her space, and selling some casually is enough to pay someone. There is really no need to farm by themselves. They still have business to do, and doing business can make more money than farming.

Nangong Sheng saw his younger sister staring blankly holding grain, and said, "Ashan, if you don't know how to farm, I'll do it. I used to farm with my grandma when I was young."

Nangong Anshan said: "Second brother, let's hire someone to farm. Now every household is short of money, there must be many people who are willing."

Nangong Sheng said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

"Second brother, don't you ask why?"

"Don't ask, you are a person favored by the gods, and you must have your own considerations when doing things. The second brother listens to you."

"Second brother, you are so kind."

Nangong Anshan said a few words to the second brother, and took the grain seeds and went to find someone.

Arriving outside the tent of Cao Zhenya and Wu Binger, before Nangong Anshan could make a sound, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

"Sister-in-law, just listen to me and marry the boss of the Lei family. He doesn't dislike you for having a daughter, and he even promised to give you five taels of silver as a dowry gift. If you marry her, life won't be so difficult in the future."

"You give up. I mean I won't remarry again. The boss of the Lei family is already forty years old and has a bad temper. The previous wives were all beaten away by him. I don't want to remarry. I am willing to live a life of being beaten."

"Don't worry, he told me that he will never beat anyone again. He is a bit older, but he looks young. No one who saw him would say that he is in his thirties. what."

"He can be my father now, and there are three sons under him. I don't want to be someone else's stepmother. It's thankless."

"It's a good thing to have more sons. There will be more labor in the family. In the future, you won't be afraid that no one will do the work in the field, and you won't be hungry."

"Give up, I won't marry the boss of the Lei family no matter what."

"You... why are you so stubborn, what's wrong with marrying and living a good life. He likes you very much, you know it. If you continue to be alone like this, don't you let Bing'er continue to suffer with you? It’s good that the county government has grain to distribute this month, but after this month has passed and the grain in the field has not grown, let me see what you two eat.”

Nangong Anshan couldn't bear it any longer when she heard the words, and walked in directly, "Since Aunt Wu thinks the other party is so nice, why don't you just marry her?"

Seeing that it was Nangong Anshan, Mrs. Wu frowned and said, "The adults talk, and the children go to play with each other."

Nangong Anshan said: "Didn't you just say that Aunt Cao would let Binger suffer with her? I will solve her problem now."

"You..." Mrs. Wu glanced at her contemptuously, and said, "Could it be that you also came to make my sister-in-law remarry?"

Nangong Anshan rolled her eyes and said, "Do you have any brains? How can I be a matchmaker for an adult as a child?"

Mr. Wu immediately became angry when he heard the words: "You...you dare to say that I have no brains?"

"Yup."

"Do you believe I beat you?"

Nangong Anshan poked her waist and said, "Come on, am I afraid of you?"

Thinking of her strength, Wu's body trembled immediately, and she took a step back and said, "Sister-in-law, just listen to me, I am your man's sister, I really won't harm you, I'm doing it for your own good .”

Nangong Anshan said contemptuously: "You still said it was for Aunt Cao's good. When Bing'er fell on the road, where were you at that time? Why didn't you come out to help them at that time? If you speak for Lei's family like this, someone else gave it to you." You have a lot of matchmaker money."

Wu Shi choked, and was immediately speechless.

After thinking about it, she said again: "You said you came here to solve her problem, what are you going to do?"

"Hmph, none of your business!"

"you!"

Nangong Anshan ignored her, turned her head and said softly: "Aunt Cao, our family plans to start a business in the future, so we plan to hire people to do the work in the field. If you want, you can plant my field while you plant your field. The fields are planted together, and I will give you 30 Wen a day, if you can't grow it alone, you can find a sister who is close to you to do it, but if you want someone to come over, you must get my consent."

Cao Zhenya was shocked and said: "Ashan, do you want to hire me to work? Or thirty Wen a day?"

Such a high salary is hard to find even in the city.

Wu Binger is also full of surprises, if the family has a salary of 30 Wen a day, their family will have no worries in the future.

"Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "My family's field has also been reclaimed today. If you agree, I can start working today. I have brought back the seeds and can start raising seedlings."

"I promise, I promise." Cao Zhenya said excitedly: "Ashan, don't worry, I will definitely treat your field as my own and plant it seriously."

Wu Binger also said: "Sister Ah Shan, I can also help, I can do a lot of work."
