Chapter 682 Everyone Is Growing

Hearing Baiyunxi's voice, the whole family rushed over, "Mother, why did you come back from the gang? Is the road safe?"

Bai Yunxi waved his hand, "We will be back as soon as the banquet is over, the ox cart is slow, it took some time."

After simply washing up, Baiyunxi took out the things purchased in the county and distributed them to several people.

"Wow, mother, you bought us jewelry again?"

Holding the silver hairpin, Mrs. Li inserted it directly into her head, touched it carefully, and decided she didn't like it.

"Yes, mother, you have bought us several pieces."

Bai Jingjing looked at the silver hairpin in his hand, and said with a smile.

Holding the silver hairpin, Mrs. Du secretly promised that she must protect the things well this time, and never be taken away again.

"Not only bought it for you, but also for us."

Bai Yunxi said, pointing to the old silver hairpin stuck in his bun,
"By the way, I met Zhao Yalang on the way back. I made an appointment to see the property tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed earlier."

Bai Anyan's eyes lit up when he heard Tian Chan,
"Mom, are we going to buy fields again?"

Anyway, jewelry, cloth, etc. have nothing to do with him, mother said, boys can wear what they have, there is no need to pay attention to it.

"Go and have a look first, buy it if you are satisfied, and buy land for your family. Naturally, the more the better."

Bai Yunxi didn't hide it either, and directly narrated what Zhao Yalang said to several people.

Originally, the three-year tax exemption period for the East and West Slopes had arrived, and it happened that Xiao Wu was admitted as a scholar, and their family could be tax-exempt again.

She is still waiting for Xiaowu to be admitted to Juren, and Juren can reduce or exempt [-] mu.

Their home is still some distance away from [-] mu.

After driving for half a day, Baiyunxi felt that the bumps were not good, so he sent the person away.

After sleeping until dawn, when she opened her eyes and looked at the familiar bed curtain, she finally felt at ease.

After washing up and having breakfast, Bai Anyan has already harnessed the ox cart.

"Mom, when are we leaving?"

"Now, make an appointment with Zhao Yalang to meet at Xiaofangzhuang fork." Bai Yunxi changed into a ginger cotton dress, took Wenyou with him, and the three of them set off together.

Since Mrs. Li became pregnant, she no longer ran out yelling, for fear of tiring the baby in her stomach.

The morning sun was shining, but not too strong, and the ox cart was walking leisurely on the official road, with a small wind blowing, which was pleasant.

When they reached the fork in the road, they saw that Zhao Yalang was already waiting.

"Zhao Yalang, I kept you waiting."

"Sister Bai, you're welcome, I've just arrived." Zhao Yalang cupped his hands, got on the mule cart, and walked ahead to lead the way.

Half an hour later, the group of them arrived at their destination.

"This area is all dry land, and it's a little far away from the water source, but fortunately there is a well in the middle, so I can keep up with the usual irrigation."

Zhao Yalang pointed to a field in front of him, which was planted with spring wheat, green and swaying in the wind.Farmers are working in the fields.

"Further ahead, there is a small Wangzhuang, where tenant farmers live. Squire Wang said that if anyone values ​​this field, the spring crops can be sold at half the price."

Bai Yunxi listened, nodded, and walked along the path.

The iconic crop of the dry land is spring wheat, which is dark green in color and has a strong root system, which proves that the field is well maintained and the soil is considered fertile.As Zhao Yalang said, it is considered a middle-grade field.

After walking more than half a circle along the path, Zhao Yalang took Baiyunxi to see the well for irrigation.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Listening to Zhao Yalang's question, Bai Yunxi did not answer, but turned to look at the second child,

"An Yan, what do you think?"

Bai Anyan looked at the field of crops in front of him, raised his hand and scratched his head, "I think it's pretty good, but it's a bit expensive. It would be even better if it could be cheaper."

Hearing Bai Anyan's tone, Zhao Yalang was gentle,
"The price of medium dry land is generally around five guan, and Wang Xiangshen's price is four guan, which is already very reasonable."

"The words are good, but these dry lands are too far away from the water source. Although there is a well, it is usually good. Once there is a drought, one well is not enough. If we buy it, we will definitely have to drill two more wells for emergencies. "

In the past few years, Bai Anyan has learned a lot of planting methods in Shennong's planting manual. Compared with before, his horizons are wider, and many views are different from before.

"It's not a small expense in total. If it can be half a penny per mu, it can be considered."

Bai Yunxi looked at the second child, with admiration flashing in his eyes. Over the past few years, every member of the family has been growing up. Although the second child is a bit dull and growing at a slower pace, fortunately, the trend is good.

Receiving the encouragement from her mother, Bai Anyan blushed, turned to look at Zhao Yalang,
"If I were a squire Wang and wanted to dispose of some land, I would have to pick up some fields that were not easy to irrigate or manage."

Hearing Bai Anyan's analysis, Zhao Yalang was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed at Bai Yunxi.

"Sister-in-law Bai, your son looks simple and honest, but he didn't expect his head to be so smart and flexible. It's really eye-opening for me today."

"Zhao Yalang has won the prize. My son, among other things, does have some talent in farming."

Baiyunxi was not self-effacing either, and spoke cheerfully.

"I don't know if the two points my son said are right?"

Zhao Yalang looked at the mother and son for a moment, then nodded solemnly,

"Sister-in-law Bai has raised a good son and is insightful. The shortcoming of this field is indeed the irrigation problem. Wang Xiangshen is not in good health, so he doesn't want to worry too much, so he wants to make a move."

Bai Yunxi nodded, "Zhao Yalang is also a straightforward person, you go and talk to Wang Xiangshen, is it possible to get half a penny per mu?"

"This?"

Zhao Yalang hesitated for a moment. One mu is half a guan, and one hundred mu is [-] guan. It is equivalent to the family's half-life property.

Bai Yunxi looked at Zhao Yalang's hesitant look, smiled gently,
"Zhao Yalang don't have to be in trouble, you just take our words and tell Wang Xiangshen our thoughts by the way, let him think about it for a few days, if he agrees, we will sign the paperwork and transfer the title deed immediately."

"That's right, Zhao Yalang, it is said that business is not of one mind, and everything has to be discussed. You are the famous Yalang in our town, and we can all be happy if we make a deal."

"It's natural."

Hearing the mother and son singing together, Zhao Yalang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After all, there are not many families who can buy a hundred acres of land, and the Bai family is definitely a big family.

"So, I'll go to Wang's house right now, and if there's any news, I'll inform Sister Bai as soon as possible, how about it?"

"Then please."

Bai Yunxi looked at the piece of wheat in front of him, and his heart moved,
"If the Wang family doesn't want to be cheap, there is another way, which is to give us this season's spring wheat."

Except for what goes to the tenant farmers, if the weather is normal, they will get some light.If the weather is not favorable and the grain production will be reduced, it is unknown.

Compared with half a penny cheaper, they also took the risk by using spring wheat to make up for it.
