Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 304 Chapter 303
Here Mrs. Liu was talking to Xiaomi about dividends, and on the other side, Liu Hongcai was also talking to Jiang Hu about getting him to buy more land.

"Buy land? My family has a lot of land." The fields add up to nearly [-] mu.

This afternoon I went to the fields with Erniang to look at the rice, and it took more than half an hour just to turn around my paddy fields.

Now that the farming season is busy, my family can't handle it at all, and I almost always find someone to do the work.

Liu Hongcai shook his head: "Brother, if you talk about a family, your family does have a lot of land, but even the small landlords in the town have at least a hundred acres of fertile land."

"Landlord?" Jiang Hu froze for a moment, he seemed to have never considered this issue.

Liu Hongcai saw it at a glance, and shook his head with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you can't do this."

"Even if [-] mu of land is enough, if the family can't eat it all, they can still sell some of it."

"But it's not enough just like this, or in other words, it's still far away."

Jiang Hu didn't understand what Liu Hongcai meant, but he knew that Liu Hongcai would not say these things to him for no reason.

"Brother Liu, please explain in more detail."

Liu Hongcai came here today mainly for this matter, so naturally he will not be stingy with his tongue.

"My family, Ze'er, is in poor health. His mother and I are already very satisfied to be able to look like this now. If he can pass the examination as a scholar, it will be even more joyful, so there is no other request for him."

"However, Jiang Yu from your family is different. I drank tea with Yu'er's wife and listened to what the teacher said. I also praised your Jiang Yu. He said that he is extremely talented and has an extraordinary memory. If he studies hard, he will go all the way up. It's not difficult either."

"Brother Jiang may not know, but I do know that the master used to work in the capital, and he resigned and returned to his hometown only because he couldn't get used to court affairs and he had no background."

"Although the master is only a civil servant, he is more knowledgeable than you and me, but everyone in the city who knows him is trying every means to let his children and grandchildren study under his name."

"Since the master is optimistic about Jiang Yu, if he teaches Jiang Yu all his money, Jiang Yu's achievements will be extraordinary in the future, and it is not impossible for him to become an official in the court."

Liu Hongcai said so much at once, and then stopped to take a sip of chrysanthemum tea to moisten his throat, and let Jiang Hu digest what he said.

The taste is slightly bitter, but it feels very comfortable after drinking it. The greasy feeling from eating at the party has been washed away, and even the stomach is much more comfortable.

The chrysanthemum tea is made by myself. There are wild chrysanthemums everywhere on the mountain. Xiaomi knows that his mother will make it every year. As soon as he arrives in Xiangmu Village, he pours the nearby wild chrysanthemums into the spiritual spring water, so the taste of this chrysanthemum tea is the same as before.

Although Liu Hongcai didn't mean to look down on the Jiang family, but the fact is true, because from different angles, he looks at things completely differently.

For the current Jiang family, Jiang Yu is already very satisfied with being able to pass the scholar examination. The food grown at home is enough to eat and can be sold for some money, which is something that many people cannot envy.

But in Liu Hongcai's view, this is not enough.

If the Jiang family is satisfied with the status quo, then Jiang Yu's achievements in the future must be limited.

Jiang Yu's talent is very good. One must know that his family, Qingfeng, did not receive such praise from his master back then.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious, but the children and grandchildren will be blessed, not to mention that the Jiang and Liu families have a good relationship and will support each other in the future, which is also a good thing.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Hongcai made a trip in person, and it could be regarded as helping Jiang Yu plan in person from the perspective of someone who has been there.

After Jiang Hu digested what Liu Hongcai said, the news he got was that his boss was very capable and might become an official!

But after a moment of excitement, Jiang Hu calmed down, Brother Liu came to the house in person, obviously not just telling himself that his son is very smart.

"Brother Liu, I have little knowledge. If you have any ideas, you might as well speak up."

Liu Hongcai smiled slightly, knowing that Jiang Hu understood.

"Then let me just say it straight, no matter whether you are an official in the court or a businessman in Qianjing, you have to manage up and down, and at this time, what you need is capital."

"We won't go into details about business. If you enter the court as an official, although the court has a salary, you really have to use it to live. I'm afraid you are very poor. At this time, it is easy to go astray and do something that is corrupt and perverts the law." thing."

"Of course, this does not mean that in the future, we will all depend on how much money you and your husband will give Jiang Yu."

"Although court officials are not allowed to do business, the wives of officials and the housekeepers next to them can manage shops and so on."

"Jiang Yu is still young and hasn't started to understand these things, but when he grows up, he will naturally understand these things. If he is a parent at that time, it will be a great thing for him to give him some support. .”

"Besides, he will spend a lot on studying in the future, which will allow him not to worry about money. Not only can he study more attentively, but he can also avoid being obsessed with money in the future, and he can go further in his official career."

As Liu Hongcai said, Jiang Hu nodded, deeply feeling that Liu Hongcai was right!
After Liu Hongcai finished speaking, Jiang Hu said with emotion: "As expected of Brother Liu, I have never thought about these truths."

Liu Hongcai just smiled, and didn't blame him, after all, he could only see what kind of things he was in.

Didn't his father know this back then?But later he married a daughter-in-law who could make money and helped him relieve a lot of worries caused by money, which made him understand this.

It's no wonder that many people who were poor and poor since childhood are more likely to be unable to withstand the temptation when they grow up. Because they don't have it, they want it.

The Jiang family is honest, and I'm afraid it won't work if they are allowed to start a business. Since the crops are very good, grow well, and have high yields, they should simply plant a large number of crops.

Planting crops, raising pigs and rabbits, raising chickens, ducks and geese, etc., as long as they are well taken care of, they can also make a lot of money.

He is an official, and he is not greedy, but it does not mean that he does not know the importance of money.

That's why he came to persuade Jiang Hu to expand his breeding and planting within his ability.

After talking about this matter, Liu Hongcai changed his voice and asked another matter: "Brother Jiang, do you have enough cattle for farming?"

Cattle are equivalent to a man of labor, and even more important than a man of man when farming is busy.

Similarly, raising cattle is the same as having an extra person in the family, and it is also taxable.

Therefore, many people raise a cow with several households and pay taxes together, which can also spread the pressure of taxation.

But this is unnecessary for the Jiang family.

The topic changed suddenly, and Jiang Hu was stunned for a moment before he realized it. After thinking about it carefully, he had to shake his head.

"To tell the truth, Brother Liu, although it is barely enough now, once the busy farming season ends, the cows will also be exhausted."

This big buffalo was given to him by Lao Ding's family back then, and he was asked to take good care of it. At first, the buffalo was not allowed to work.

Although the buffalo was given to their family later, it was also said that it will belong to their family in the future. As long as the buffalo is raised well, they will work when they need to work.

But Jiang Hu still couldn't bear to make this big buffalo work so hard.

This was developed little by little with their family, and it was no small credit to help pull vegetables in Fu'an Village back then.

"By the way, Brother Liu, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Liu Hongcai smiled and said, "It's not me, it's the youngest of your family. Today I asked if I know anyone, so I can help your family buy a few more cows."

"Huh? Serena?" Jiang Hu was surprised.

"It's not Serena." Liu Hongcai nodded: "If you want me to say that Serena is not serious about his studies, he is quite concerned about family affairs."

Jiang Hu was puzzled, and Liu Hongcai explained.

"He said in the afternoon that your family should continue to open up wasteland to buy land. The family is too busy with one cow. He wants me to help find a few cattle for farming."

He was surprised when he heard this. A few days ago, his father went back to the city to live for a few days, but he never heard that Jiang's family wanted to buy land.

Instead, he came here today to persuade Jiang Hu to buy more land, but he heard Jiang Wei also said that the family still needs to open up wasteland and wants to buy cattle.

On the contrary, Jiang Hu, a father, had no intention of continuing to expand the land, so he came to persuade him.

Don't say that Liu Hongcai was surprised at that time, even Jiang Hu didn't expect it at this moment.

"He actually thinks so."

He thought that Serena was young and didn't know anything, and hadn't thought about anything.

Liu Hongcai patted Jiang Hu on the shoulder: "The four children in your family are all capable. Although Xiao Wei is not very good at reading, it is because his ability is not in reading."

Jiang Hu frowned slightly: "I still want him to read more books."

"That's true, but he is still young, and he has only been in school for more than a year. He should study for a few years first. It is best to come back from the examination of a scholar. Your children are smart, so it shouldn't be difficult. Then we will see what he wants to do." what."

Jiang Hu nodded, if he could be admitted as a scholar, not to mention tax reductions, at least he would be a talent recognized by the court, and even ordinary people could look up to him.

When the time comes to do other things, you can avoid some embarrassing things.

It is obviously such a difficult college entrance examination, many people have been poor all their lives and have not been able to pass the entrance examination as a scholar, but among these two people, it seems to be easy.

However, the blessing of Lingquan water for so many years, especially Jiang Wei, has been fed Lingquan water by Xiaomi since he was a child.

Not to mention other things, memory and responsiveness are a bit higher than ordinary people, but he usually doesn't show it, so everyone doesn't think Serena is so powerful.

But from what he said in the afternoon, he was more thoughtful than Jiang Hu, we can know that he is really not a fool, it's just that the other sisters in the family are too powerful.

Since it is uncut jade, it will not be buried. With a little bit of carving, it will naturally bloom its own brilliance.

After the two of them had finished talking, Han Yan also came over to call for someone, saying that the house at the Eldest Young Master's side had been tidied up, and he was here to invite the Master and Madam to rest.

It was not too early, so Liu Hongcai got up to say goodbye. Just as he came out of the study, he happened to meet his wife coming from the side courtyard.

The couple went to greet the old man again, and then let Jiang Hu Erniang go to rest by herself, and went to the elder son's side without sending them off.
