Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 273

Nowadays, there are many unowned houses and fields in Yixian County, and the prices are cheap. Luo Tian bought 25 shops facing the street on both sides of the street early on with the savings of the past few years, and they are still connected and included in the register, because She has not been married yet, so in case someone with a heart finds out that Luo Baisu is selfish and bears the name of Uncle Gu.

In fact, if you want to buy a shop now, it is best to go to Dongze to buy it, but Dongze was originally a very prosperous state capital in the Daqing Dynasty, and the prices of shops are not cheap anymore. They can manage one or two shops, but they don't have anyone in Dongze, and it's hard to manage there. Luo Tian thinks it's better to take root in Yi County. I love him very much. In the future, even if Luo Baisu does not work in Yi County, his property will not be crowded out by the locals. Secondly, it is still cheap. Even if the profit is small, there are too many shops. Renting out a shop only costs a year. Counting 25 yuan, there are more than 700 yuan in [-] rooms, even if they are not rented out. According to the current development situation of Yi County, within three to five years, it must be a different situation. If the shop is sold out, there is no compensation, it is better than saving the money in your hands and getting moldy.

No matter what age, real estate such as house title deeds are relatively stable in value, of course, it does not count in special situations such as wars and natural disasters.

Luo Tiandu has the land deeds of 25 shops in her hand, and she has confidence in her heart. Since last year, she has not made any money. When she arrived in Yi County, she even gave out money every day. Now she finally has a living.

Luo Ming knew that she had put the money into the shop, and he was afraid that he would not have much money to build the house now, so he took the dowry slip and said: "I have the land deed, but the house is dilapidated. You can take some money to build the house first." .”

Luo Tiandu shook his hands, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the current situation in the county, even if the house is built, it won't work, and you have to ask someone to take care of it, wait a little longer." If it doesn't help, she will be sent by Wei Que The 1000 taels that came over is nowhere near the point of coaxing a child to put the money at the bottom of the box.

Zuo Qingzhi and Wei Que are both close ministers of the emperor. They said they would open a mutual market, but Luo Tian believed that this would not happen. Besides, she hadn't made a plan yet. Whether it's the distance or what, she has to think carefully.

The people in the county had already recovered their grain. Luo Baisu specially found a large scale and weighed it. The yield per mu was actually more than 160 catties. Although it was not a bumper harvest, it was considered good.Luo Baisu kept one-third of the harvested grain for the people's own use, and the other two-thirds were sent to Ba Xun Mansion after paying taxes according to the court's taxation standards, and the rest were put into storage. , as official food, at any rate, Yi County now has some capital.

It is said that when the food was distributed, many people cried. For the first time in more than ten years, they received so much food. They don’t have to worry about hunger and cold in winter, and there is no food to eat. They can finally live a stable winter. A group of people on the ground cried bitterly with their heads up to the sky. The scene was very shocking.

Luo Tian didn't even see this incident with her own eyes, she heard it from Zi Shu. She felt that with Zi Shu's temperament, these words should be discounted. Someone was crying, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as he said.

After harvesting the crops and planting sorghum, corn and potatoes, the entire county fell silent. Luo Baisu had been busy since the beginning of the year, and now he was finally able to catch his breath and started working on the affairs of the yamen. Well, the imperial court finally assigned two Shangke Scholars to serve as the county magistrate Bo, but only the magistrate Bo arrived. The county magistrate was said to be seriously ill before his arrival, so he should not travel far, so he asked the imperial court for leave. He felt that the county magistrate must have lied about being ill because Yi County was suffering and poor, he didn’t want to come to suffer, and he was worried that the court would blame him. At any rate, the county government has finally taken on the appearance of a yamen. It is no longer like before. Luo Baisu is the only one who has joined the imperial court.

Luo Tiandu finally resigned from the post of accountant of the county government office, and happily handed over the account book in his hand to the new owner, and concentrated on tossing about his more than 20 shops. Missing her for so many years, It can be considered that you have your own real estate, can you not take it to heart?Every time before going to bed, he would take out the land deed to have a look and feel it, looking like a miser.

There is no rush for the shop, even after the imperial court issued the order to open the mutual market, it would not be too late to renovate, but there was another thing that was imminent, and that was the problem of manpower.The magistrate of Daqing is re-elected every three years. Although there is re-election, it is impossible for Luo Baisu to stay in Yi County as the county magistrate for the rest of her life. She will also return to Shangjing to marry Wei Que in two years. Come to take care of these twenty or so shops, it is necessary to cultivate a few capable cronies to take care of her.

But who should be trained?Ever since her family started farming in Luojia Village, there has never been enough manpower. When they arrived in Yi County, the shortage was even more exaggerated. Who has seen a county government office for almost a year, and there is only one county magistrate?Even now, there are not too many yamen servants in the third class, one boss, and the sixth house clerk, master, etc., all of which are done by Luo Baisu himself.

It is easy to add people to the family, and the new batch of official servants are neat and capable, but Luo Tian has a strange problem, he doesn't like to add people to the family easily, and always feels awkward. One reason, and the other reason is also because she is on guard, for fear that there will be too many people serving at home, so she will find a little aunt to serve her.Furthermore, she still prefers to employ people cultivated by her own family, and it is more reassuring to employ people who know the basics, such as the two Cheng Qing brothers, who are capable and reliable.

She has been observing Ding Wu these days, and feels that this child is quite honest and hardworking, and he is also dedicated to taking care of Luo Zijin. Even if he is older, it is not too difficult to teach him. Teaching him some skills will help her in the future. It's good to do some outside work, or if it's more useful, it will be fine to follow Luo Zijin to be his little housekeeper in the future.Luo Baisu and Fang's family saved a lot of work because of her, and the family didn't need a housekeeper at all. In the first few years, Uncle Gu had good energy and helped take care of a lot of affairs, so they didn't have any problems at all. I feel that there is some inconvenience, but Luo Zijin is different. When he grows up, she and Luo Ming must not be at home. Although Fang is capable, his background is too poor after all, and Luo Zijin is getting older Well, Mrs. Fang is also old, so it's fine to take care of the inner courtyard. She or Luo Baisu can't let her or Luo Baisu worry about the outside affairs. There must be someone who can control the family.

Luo Tian took this matter to heart, found an opportunity, and asked Ding Wu: "I remember you should be ten years old this year."

Luo Mingdu used leather to sew a round ball for Luo Zijin. Ding Wu was playing with Luo Zijin. Luo Zijin held the ball and threw it far away. In Zijin's hand, let him continue to throw it, and then replied: "Little lady remembers absolutely right, she is already ten years old."

Luo Tiandu asked again: "Ten years old is not too young, what are your plans for the future?"

Ding Wu was stunned, plan?At the beginning of the year, the Luo family kept him, so he made up his mind to work for the Luo family for the rest of his life, even if he didn't get paid, as long as he was given food, but Luo Tian suddenly asked him what his future plans were, and he I really didn't think about it.

"I will do whatever the uncle and the lady ask me to do." He said honestly.

Luo Tian glanced at him, and asked more clearly: "You also know that the court officials are all transferred. My father has been the county magistrate in Yi County for a few years, and he may not be here in a few years, or he may be transferred to the north. , or go back to Beijing, or resign and go back to your hometown, what will you do then?"

"Of course I will follow the uncle to take good care of the young master." Ding Wudao, he knew that since the grandfather left, the Luo family kept him just to let him take care of the young master. As long as he takes good care of the young master, he can be regarded as Useful, it will not be disliked.

"Zijin is young now, so I need someone to watch him all day long, but a child grows up fast, and when he grows up in the future, he will definitely be sent to school, and you don't need to be with him all day long. Have a lot of time, have you thought about doing something?"

"What else can I do?" He asked back, panicking inexplicably. The little lady asked, was it because he was not doing well enough to take care of the young master, or because the uncle and wife thought he was idle and didn't work every day, so he didn't want to do it anymore. Want him?

In his heart, this is a big deal, the Luo family does not want him, which means that there is no food, and if there is no food, you will be hungry, and if you are hungry, you will be like grandpa, you will not wake up when you fall asleep, but He is still so young, he still wants to live for a few more years, the grandpa's wife and the young lady treat him very well, and the young master is also very cute, so he is reluctant.The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he was almost on the verge of crying.

Luo Tian was very speechless, this child was too honest, so not frightened, she didn't say anything, just had an expression of the sky falling down, couldn't bear to ask any more questions, and said directly: "Would you like You don't want to follow me to learn literacy? Even if you grow up in the future, you can still have a means of making a living after leaving the Luo family?"

Ding Wu was stunned again, he thought that the Luo family disliked him for eating too much and not working, and wanted to drive him out, but he didn't expect Luo Tiandu to actually ask him if he wanted to read and write.The child of the poor is already in charge of the family. He is ten years old and has already reached the age of understanding. He naturally understands how important reading is. In his eyes, rich people are eligible to go to school to read and write. You can be an official, and if you become an official, you will have money and a lot of delicious food, and you will no longer be hungry, and you will not be afraid of bad guys when they come, and you will be protected by officers and soldiers.

"But, little lady, I don't have any money, so I can't afford Shuxiu." He lowered his head, twisted a corner of his sleeve, and said with a hopeful and a little embarrassed expression, but he wanted to read, he wanted to read.
