The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 266 Buying land to open up wasteland and fooling Xiaohua (3)

"Since the military camp at the border has also been mixed with bad food, if we start from the military camp, it will surely attract the attention of the Holy Emperor soon. However, it is best for the Prince's Palace not to interfere in this matter, but those princes who have conflicts with Prince Heng The most suitable."

King Heng was the third son of Jinshang. He had a mother who was a high-status concubine. He was also highly regarded by Jinshang. He coveted the position of prince no less than the fallen Prince Jing. Precisely because of his various advantages, among other princes and princes who coveted the position of prince, he was a greater threat than the real prince Chu Heng.

If the bad food incident was used this time and others worked together to bring down King Heng, it would save the prince a lot of trouble.

Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng looked at each other and saw agreement in each other's eyes.

When Xiao Ruiyuan returned to his home, he took up a pen and wrote down the relevant information about the moldy grains on paper. When he finally signed the note, he wrote another brief sentence, asking Mo Yan not to worry. After writing it, I had someone send it to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan has always been thinking about the moldy food issue and was very happy to receive Xiao Ruiyuan's letter.

After reading the letter, she realized that the matter was more complicated than she imagined, and Mo Yan was helpless. Fortunately, although things are progressing a bit slowly, it is better than doing nothing. Besides, this matter really cannot be rushed. If Xiao Ruiyuan can't solve it, she will be even more helpless. She secretly prays that the matter can be solved as soon as possible and not let more innocent people die tragically.

Because she no longer has nightmares, Mo Yan's mental state has returned to its best. Recently, she has been wandering around the village every day, trying to see if there is any suitable place that can be opened up to grow rice.

Regardless of whether it was her previous life or this life, she was from the south and was used to eating rice. However, due to the terrain, most of the land in Liuyang Village has poor water storage capacity and can only be used as dry land to grow corn, wheat and other dry land crops. There are fertile fields that can be used for paddy fields, but there are very few of them. Most of them have been divided among more than a dozen original households in Liuyang Village.

If the land at home was all dry land and could only grow corn and wheat, she would not be able to legitimately get the rice out of the space. It would be a waste to just pile it up in the space without using it.

After searching for several days, she finally found a good place. The land is low-lying and surrounded by slopes. It is also a low-lying land that accumulates water all year round and has a strong water storage capacity. As long as the rainy season drainage is done well and the spiritual spring water is in hand, the wasteland will be managed well and it will become good farmland sooner or later.

After making up his mind, Mo Yan told Leli Zhong who bought the land and told him his plan.

Li Zhong went to the low-lying land to check it out in person. After analyzing the pros and cons, he expressed his opinion: "That land has good water storage and good soil quality. It is natural to grow rice. But it is too far away and it is not convenient to take care of it." , and there are no roads, so it will be difficult to transport it back after harvesting.”

The same goes for buying some wasteland and reclaiming it to grow some dry-season crops. Taking care of rice is a bit more troublesome, not only because of the water source problem, but also the problem of pests.

"It's okay. We'll ask someone to build a path to get out when the time comes. Besides, we have two oxen at home, so we won't be bothered to take care of them."

Mo Yan felt that these were not problems. It was not easy to find such a place in Liuyang Village.

"Then...then I'll go to the village and ask the village chief. If the price is right, I'll get the land deed first."

Seeing that Mo Yan had made up his mind, Li Zhong couldn't persuade him anymore. The land would definitely be able to grow rice, and it wouldn't matter even if it was harder by then.

Li Zhong approached Yang Bao, but Yang Bao was not sure what price the land would be priced at. So the two of them found a free time and went to the Yamen together. After asking, they found out that each acre was more expensive than wasteland by half a tael of silver, that is, one tael and a half taels of silver per acre.
