Chapter 41: The Second King Next Door
The Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/.
"Buried!"
"Yeah, ah." The three siblings looked at her at the same time.
Chen Wang said, "If so much money is known, I will not eat us alive. Look at the kind-hearted people in the village, it is because we are as poor. If our family suddenly becomes prosperous, we will definitely be envied."
Chen Kang couldn't help but sigh that Chen Wang's clarity is the experience of life.
But there is no need to bury it!
Chen Ning and Chen Chang looked at Chen Kang at the same time and asked him what he meant.
Chen Kang pursed his lips, twisted his cuffs with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Dad is the head of the family, so let's talk about it when his father comes back." He still thought his life was short and directly fought against Shen Wangshi. He was not slapped to death by a broom. He had to wait until Chen Cheng was present before he could talk about this.
Chen Wang nodded in agreement: "Okay, bury it first, it's so dazzling."
The three siblings of the Shen family were ordered and hurriedly picked up the cloth bag and went to the backyard.
Chen Chang's injury was not healed and could not bear it. Chen Kang digged a pit in the backyard. At this time, a fable lingered in his mind: There is no silver here.
Uh...If Wang Erzhen comes to poach and leave another note and say: Wang Er next door has never stole it, that would be funny.
Chen Kang immediately said, "No, I won't bury it anymore, the money must be distributed well." He buried the pile of earth that had been turned up and returned to the house with Chen Ning and Shen Chang who were confused.
The sky gradually darkened completely. Chen Cheng dragged his tired body home. Chen Wang stood at the door, greeting him from a distance, and did not care about the eyes of others, and dragged Chen Cheng home directly.
"What's wrong?" Although Chen Cheng enjoyed being held by Chen Wang's hand, his face was still a little red and he asked embarrassedly.
Mrs. Chen didn't answer, and just thought about telling him about the money.
After a long time, the couple entered the door, and Chen Wang locked the door tightly again, Chen Cheng felt strange.
When the two came in, they saw three small people sitting around the table, with white silver coming from the cloth bag on the table. Shen Cheng panicked for a moment: "Where, where did it come from!"
It's over, and the family has been stuttered by three hundred taels of silver.
Chen Wang hurriedly pulled Chen Cheng down and said everything about the day.
Chen Cheng was confused when he heard it, but the words came out of Chen Wang's mouth. The three children proved each other's faith, and there was a poem that was not understood but catchy but was filled with rhythm.
He didn't question the origin of the silver, so the question came back to the question of how to deal with the silver.
Chen Cheng didn't give any comments, but asked Chen Kang: "San'er, according to you, how to deal with this money?"
Chen Kang pondered for a moment, twisted his sleeves, smiled and raised his hand to take a ingot of ten taels of silver and put it in front of Chen Cheng, saying, "It's so dangerous that my jade mining is. My father will not go tomorrow. I will go to the county to buy some chickens, ducks and geese, and then buy two sheep. From now on, our family will drink goat milk and eat chicken every day for the morning meal."
He took another ten taels of silver and put it in front of Chen Wangshi, saying, "For these ten taels, my mother and her father can go to the county town to buy some favorite items, such as clothes, powder or new farm tools."
He took a few taels of scattered silver and placed them in Shen Ning. Chen Chang and himself said, "We have a few pocket money."
After splitting a circle, the pile of silver seemed to have not moved. Chen Kang continued, "Take out twenty taels of silver to repair the house."
He took out twenty taels of silver and said, "These are used as dowry for the eldest sister to hold the box, and wait until the eldest sister gets married before moving."
He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Cheng and said, "Dad, I want to contract a piece of mountain, what do you think?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Can you want to plant fruit trees in the mountains?"
Chen Kang shook his head and said, "Change forests into fields. I have read the terraced fields of southern farmers in Mr. Liu's book. I think we can also try to convert the mountains into terraced fields to cultivate."
Chen Cheng said suspiciously: "Our Runing Mansion has few fertile fields and many hills and mountains. For thousands of years, we have been here. The people of the predecessors never thought that this was too unrealistic."
Chen Kang smiled calmly and said, "Dad, why can't it work? Others didn't expect it. That was because others had never thought about it. We thought about it, so we started with us."
Chen Chengdao: "Just talking about irrigation, how many trips will it take to irrigate the water from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain?"
Chen Kang said: "The Xinyang River at the foot of the mountain is abundant, so we can find a way to divert water up the mountain."
"How to attract"
Chen Kang said: "After spring starts, the river surface will thaw. We can pay to build a water truck by the Xinyang River. The water pool and connecting tubes can be used to send water from low places to high places. It can be used to draw water and irrigate in drought. When floods and water accumulate, it can also be used to drain water and dissolve water. The neighbors of the village must be happy!"
Chen Cheng thought about it, his face slightly loosened and said, "It's different when studying, and his mind is more flexible than others. You earn this money. No matter how much you want to spend your life, your father will follow you." As he said, he looked up at the family and said, "Let's get the new village chief tomorrow, let's buy land."
Chen Wang nodded, trusted Chen Kang infinitely, and said, "Our mistress is Wenquxing, you are right."
Uh... Mom, how can you praise your own children so generously? The modern people's style, "Look at other people's children", are all scum in front of Shen's mother.
Get back to the point.
In fact, since the last time I learned that the Shen family had cultivated ten acres of land, but only two or three taels of silver were left in a year, Chen Kang kept thinking of a solution to get rid of poverty and become rich.
After thinking about it, as a farmer, the safest way is to connect with the land.
A few days ago, he suddenly remembered that in modern times, he had eaten a special crab. It was a colleague from his hometown in the Northeast who gave him a thank-you gift to his relatives and friends after getting married.
Rice crab.
The crab meat is delicious and the cream is as yellow as gold. It tastes different from the big guys like hairy crabs. In fact, according to Chen Kang, rice crabs are much more delicious than hairy crabs.
After eating it once, he actually became a little edible. Unfortunately, rice and crabs are really not cheap, and they missed the season and disappeared. In addition to supplying them to locals, it is really rare to get a ingredient in other places. Because he was curious, he also deliberately searched for information on rice and crab farming.
It can be said that the breeding of rice and crabs is beneficial but not harmful. Crabs feed on weeds and pests in the rice fields, which eliminates the pests and diseases of rice. Excretion can also nourish the fields and make the rice grow better.
This is a natural symbiosis, and the two are mutually beneficial.
Thinking of the golden autumn of October, the rice and crabs also ushered in a bumper harvest under the rolling wheat waves. How spectacular it would be.
More importantly, there were many literati in the Ming Dynasty, and many literati liked art and elegance.
By the way, it’s elegant!
