Chapter 43 Subversion

Shen Xiaoliu covered his face, accepted the contract of sale from Liu Qiuniang, bowed deeply to Shen Xingchen, and fled in despair.

Liu Qiuniang has seen in the past few days that Shen Xingchen will not do anything to her casually as long as it is not too much.

She asked unwillingly, "I don't understand, why don't you take them in? Don't we need people to take care of the house and feed the cows and horses?"

Shen Xingchen glanced at her sideways, "It's too troublesome for me, you don't mind the trouble, you can go to the town to buy one yourself, but I suggest you buy a girl, otherwise if you pass it to the capital, you may die here forever."

Liu Qiuniang's face turned dark immediately.

She admits, however, that she was ill-considered on the matter.

She is too anxious.

She felt that with their current situation, it was difficult to buy a satisfactory servant, and she had to spend money, because there were ready-made cheap ones, and the others were ignored.

After the embarrassment was over, she wanted to explain, but when she looked up, she saw that sister Shen Xingchen had already put Xiaoxuan on a big chair in the living room, and strode out to carry things.

Shen Xingchen, a prodigal girl, actually bought so many things again?

She was very angry, but dared not say anything.Just about to go back to the room, Shen Xingchen suddenly stopped her, "The Holy Majesty asked us to open up six acres of land, I'll be four you two, how about it?"

Only then did Liu Qiuniang think of this terrible thing, and her face darkened again.

The imperial decree clearly stated that she and Shen Xingchen had to reclaim the wasteland by themselves and could not ask others to do it for them.

Shen Xingchen has great strength, maybe it can be done, but he is delicate and frail... How could he do this?

Before the dead girl turned against her, she was going to leave everything to her, but now...

She knew that Shen Xingchen would not open up land for her in vain, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have that ability! In this way, the matter of opening up wasteland will be left to you, and I will give you ten taels of silver per mu of land.

I don't take advantage of you, I'll give you 30 taels, which counts as three mu of land. "

Now one mu of fertile land only costs five taels of silver, and ten taels per mu is not a loss.

Shen Xingchen snorted coldly, "The wasteland is so easy to open...why is everyone unwilling to open up wasteland, only willing to buy ready-made ones with money?"

Liu Qiuniang, "..."

How does she know?

Shen Xingchen must want the lion to open his mouth.

Forget it, the imperial decree cannot be disobeyed, so I should give up my money to avoid disaster.

She looked like a sick Xishi holding her heart, and said weakly, "How much do you want?"

"100 taels per mu!

It only counts your two acres. In addition, you write a contract stating that although the land is under your name, all other rights and responsibilities, such as harvest and future taxes, are under my control, and the term is forever. "

Although 100 taels and one mu of land was ridiculously high, Shen Xingchen only counted two mu of land, and Liu Qiuniang didn't feel too much pain in her heart.

As for the harvest...

What can be harvested from wasteland?
She doesn't care.

On the contrary, it is taxation. When the year is not good, it is something that can kill people.

Shen Xingchen's suggestion is actually very reasonable.

She nodded with distress and relief, "Okay!"

……

The carrots, lettuce, spinach, and cabbage that Zhong Moran found yesterday, as well as the large and small cabbages, beets, and red and white radishes sold in the local grain store, can all be planted. Shen Xingchen started his official land reclamation career early the next morning.

Did not go to the mountains.

Just near the village.

There is nearly an acre of wasteland in front of her house, and the villagers who built the wall have followed her arrangement and have surrounded it.

She will grow something of higher value on it later.

The land reclamation site she chose today is at the end of the village, where there are nearly [-] acres of uneven sandy soil wasteland.

In the past, villagers only came here to dig wild vegetables in season, to feed the cattle with weeds, or to use them as kindling.

Seeing that Shen Xingchen chose such a location to open up wasteland, the villagers were very puzzled.

It's not that the soil quality of other wasteland in the village is better than this one, but because the location is too remote, there are so many weeds, thorns, and small trees, the difficulty of opening up wasteland is much higher than other places.

However, thinking of Shen Xingchen's great strength, the villagers felt that they were just eating carrots and worrying about them.

Although I didn't plan to mention Shen Xingchen, everyone couldn't help but be curious, and they always like to sneak over to peep from afar...

Then, she was stunned by her astonishing way of opening up wasteland and the equipment for opening up wasteland.

The villagers... No, not only the villagers of Houtu Village, but also other places. The so-called land reclamation means honestly cutting weeds inch by inch and digging the soil inch by inch.

But Shen Xingchen, she subverts everything.

She first cut out a circle more than five meters wide around the wasteland, then sprinkled some unknown things on the weeds in the circle, and then threw a torch in.

set wildfire...

It is very easy to cause a catastrophe!

However, today's autumn is clear, cloudless, and there is no wind. With the partition circle cut by Shen Xingchen in advance, there is no safety hazard in this fire.

The villagers who watched the excitement were not afraid except for surprise.

When they found many pheasants and hares escaped from the wasteland, it was too late to hunt them down.

On the other hand, Shen Xingchen, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly picked up the bow and arrow "whoosh, whoosh..." One arrow, one harvest.

The villagers were full of regrets and felt that their hearts were bleeding, but they quickly adjusted.

Shen Xingchen often sells wild game in the village, and the price is [-]% lower than others. Today, they can still take advantage of it.

The village head had said before that he couldn't make friends with Shen Xingchen, but ordinary transactions were fine, and the villagers who wanted to buy game immediately surrounded him, not for anything else, but to strike first and choose the most favorite game.

Sure enough, Shen Xingchen still readily sold the game to the villagers this time at a price [-]% lower than the market price.

One of them has a relationship with a restaurant in the town, and bought as many as twenty of them—it's still early in the day, and renting a bullock cart to send them to the restaurant in the town can make tens of pennies.

What a deal!
After more villagers bought a wild animal and took it back, they immediately used the excuse that they wanted to buy another one to watch Shen Xingchen open up wasteland.

The fire in the wasteland was extinguished in less than half an hour.

When the villagers thought that Shen Xingchen was about to start digging, they saw that she had evenly poured a bucket of brown water that she had prepared long ago on the roots of the larger trees and thorns.

What is she doing?

Is it what they think?

The villagers looked at each other and talked a lot, and finally because they couldn't resist their curiosity, they moved to Shen Yunxuan's side.

Shen Yunxuan is not in exile, so it doesn't matter if he gets a little closer?
Shen Yunxuan was sitting on the small bench Shen Xingchen had prepared for him, eating snacks while practicing hidden weapons with dirt.

Facing the villagers' inquiries, he frowned, "It's just what you guessed, it's a potion that can make tree roots rot quickly."

My sister said that there is no need to keep these secrets, if someone asks, just speak up.

The villagers gasped and asked questions one after another.

"I didn't expect such a good thing to exist in the world. I thought it was just a dream."

"Is this medicine poisonous? It doesn't matter if people touch it?"

"Can crops be grown on land that has been watered?"

"..."

Shen Yunxuan answered unhurriedly, "This medicine is only effective on plants, and it is not harmful to humans or animals. This medicine will lose its effect in three days, as long as you don't plant crops within three days, it will be fine."

Everyone,"……"

Yes, they knew it was.Shen Xingchen is so powerful, he won't make such common sense mistakes.
