Chapter 240: Rumors Abound (5)
"Of course, that's the first time landlord Xiang suffered a loss. I saw it myself."

"Do you think that woman is too stupid or something. There are so many grains and grasses. You must know that these are worth a lot of money at the current price. Not to mention that there is no place to buy them now if you have money."

"I heard from the villagers in Hehua Village that they are living a very good life now. The lady takes special care of them. Now all the people help her with things. They pay less than two liang of silver a year, and there are a lot of things at the end of the year. .It is guaranteed that you will not go hungry, and you will still have money left over."

"Is that true? Hey, why are we not so lucky? It would be great if we could also live in Hehua Village. Where is my family's dinner at night? I haven't found out yet."

Along the way, words like these kept coming into Fan Haojie's ears, which made him admire Su Li more and more.

Not long after, when he arrived in the town, Su Li saw a team of people meeting the transporters at the Yamen.Seeing Fan Haojiehui's report: "My lord, there are [-] stones of food and grass that can be collected from various places in Lingxiao City. At this time, it is already at the gate of the town in the south, waiting for the confluence and transporting it as soon as possible."

"Go, pay attention to safety on the road, and make sure to deliver it as soon as possible!" Fan Haojie waved his hand, signaling to get down quickly.

"Madam, the prefect is inside, let's go in first!" Although he didn't understand what the prefect Lan wanted to see Su Li for, this was his first visit to Baihua Town.

"Well, let's go. Xiaoya, follow up!" Now Xiaoya, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is Su Li's confidant.Not only is this girl smart, she is also absolutely loyal.

Lan Wenzhong didn't know how many glasses of water he drank, but he never saw Su Li coming.But he wasn't angry, because he heard that the trucks started to be loaded one by one yesterday, and they started to be shipped out today.It must have taken a lot of time.

"Lord Lan, Mrs. Gou is here!" Fan Haojie saluted Lan Wenzhong when he saw Lan Wenzhong, and then said.

"Come here? That's fine, let's talk in the study!" There are too many people here, which is a bit inconvenient.

Fan Haojie was stunned for a moment, then nodded and led others towards the study.

Su Li asked Xiaoya to wait outside, and followed him in.After entering the study, seeing the closed door, he asked Lan Wenzhong without saying a word, "I don't know when Lan Wenzhong will look for the civilian woman?"

Ma'am, Mr. Lan is grateful to you on behalf of the frontier soldiers.Now it is a very urgent time to report back the information.

Our Haoyue harvest is not good now, so it is really difficult to collect food and grass.Not to mention the report from the front line that the remaining food and grass were only enough to last for half a month.Even if they save food, it is not enough for 20 days.

Twelve days have passed now, if it wasn't for Madam's help, our Lingxiao City doesn't know how long we will be recruiting.Right now, we can only transport some to the past, to relax, and when the other places in Haoyue are also recruited, it will be much easier to handle.

Su Li watched him talk for a long time, but didn't get to the point, and suddenly became anxious: "I don't know what Lan Taishou wants to express?"

Well, if that's the case then I'll be blunt.For your 61 mu of land, you can harvest nearly [-] shi in half a year, and those dry land peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. are [-] shi.

If I remember correctly, this is only half a year, just a lotus pond.I thought that if the public leased land in Baihua Town was transferred to the wife's name and given to the wife, no tax would be required.But when the country is in danger like now, how about Madam extending her hand?
Of course, if Madam agrees, then I will donate all the publicly leased land in Lingxiao City to Madam, and I will report this matter to the court in retrospect.

Su Li was a little stunned. They meant to give him all the land in the entire Lingxiao City, let him plant it, and it was free?

But there is a problem. When the war comes, the soldiers will be provided with food and grass free of charge. Is this what you mean?But there is no problem with this, the key is to provide food and grass for free, so how much should be provided?How many people are there, and how many acres of official land are there, these are all questions.

Not to mention that when the time comes, manpower and material resources will have to be provided by ourselves. In this case, it will be a bit hurt.She, Su Li, was unwilling to do such a loss-making business.

Lan Wenzhong pondered for a moment, then said: "Madam, don't worry, as long as the country is peaceful and peaceful, as long as two floors of this kind of food are owned by the imperial court, the rest will be considered Madam's. If Madam is worried about manpower, it will be redundant. This The public land is transferred to take care of the fields, so there is no need for Madam to worry about this. In addition, the paddy fields and dry land in the entire Lingxiao City add up to at least [-] mu."

Su Li was stunned when he heard that, eight hundred acres sounds like a lot.If these are harvested so much every year, wouldn't he be prosperous soon?

At this moment, Su Li's heart thumped wildly, but then his face turned serious, thinking that there is no such thing as a big pie in this world, and there is no way to deceive her.

"I think you have other requirements. I don't think you will make me so cheap."

Seeing Su Li's defensive state, Fan Haojie nodded and said, "Of course we have a request. This request is how do you grow these high-yield grains? I want you to write them down one by one and teach some people. I will Present this to the emperor and let him make a decision."

Su Li was a little silent, and then nodded: "I promise, whether this food can be grown or not is related to the people of the world, not a weak woman like me. If the people can have a good harvest, everyone will not be afraid that they will not be able to eat. I'm full, I can't dress warmly."

This is the same as the people in Hehua Village, as long as they can feed and clothe everyone, it doesn't matter.As for the specific output, it depends on the ability of each company.

"Cheer up, I will send all the title deeds to you later, so you must also give me a guarantee!" Lan Wenzhong thought, if these lands can be exchanged for the national treasury to provide food and grass for the front soldiers or It is to increase food production for the people of the world, which is a good deal.

Later, I will write all these things into a notebook and submit it to the emperor at that time.Today is the time to make great contributions next year.

"No problem, but I have a question. How long is the period for providing food to the frontline soldiers? Is it our family for generations?"

If this is the case, then this deal is not worthwhile.After all, if there is a disaster year like last year, it will be difficult to have a good harvest.

"Then how many years do you think is better?" Lan Wenzhong directly kicked back the question.

"Let's do this, as long as I live. I will definitely do what I say in my lifetime. But after a hundred years, these lands will directly belong to my family, and I only need to hand in two floors every day. What do you think?"

Fan Haojie thinks this is feasible.After all, Su Li is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and it's been a hundred years, at least several decades.According to the current output of her family, I don't say how much she can provide.Even if she is willing to make this field method known to the world, for this point, these fields may not be able to compensate her.
