Transmigration: To Be His Man

Chapter 71 If You Want to be Rich Plant Fruit Trees

There were hundreds of trees in the small forest, including locust trees, poplar trees, cedar trees, willow trees, and bamboo trees. If they were to be cut and sold, it would still be a sum of money, and Qin Mian took the initiative to buy a few baskets of eggs for the villagers. Buy these trees, so they won't start a squabble in the future.

The villagers were happy. These trees had been here for a long time, so it was a surprise that they didn't plant them. The families of the manor were all about having many sons and many blessings. Even the families with the fewest population had three people, and they could get six eggs. The households of the manor had more than twenty eggs, and two of them could eat for days at a time.

After getting the land deed, Qin Mian and Lei Tia finished preparing the tea and snacks. A pen and paper was placed on the table, and their heads were pressed together as they pla

ed for the new field.

"What do you think?" Qin Mian only asked casually. There were many things that Lei Tia did not have high standards for, and the only common phrase that he would say was "as you say" or "as you decide".

Unexpectedly, Lei Tia opened his mouth and pointed to a certain spot on the square drawn by Qin Mian, "Dig in the pond here, grow fishes and lotus roots, and it's convenient to water vegetables."

Qin Mian's eyes lit up, "Good idea. The so-called 'sitting on the north side facing south'. After this piece of land was built with a wall, the gate would open directly to the south. "You can't plant trees from the house to the gate in case it blocks your line of sight. It's the best place to dig for a pond."

Lei Tia nodded his head, "I have seen the gourd-shaped lake in the south. Our pond can be imitated, with bridges by our waist."

Qin Mian gave him a big thumbs up, and after drawing the ponds and bridges as he said, he pointed at a spot at the corner with the tip of the brush, "Since we are going to grow fields and vegetables to grow fruit trees, we will definitely be busy, so we have to hire people in the future, right? There is a floor near the wall for the servants' quarters. "

Lei Tia looked at his excited appearance, his eyes filled with gentleness. Not long after he returned home, he was forced to marry a man. He felt a bit sad, a bit humiliated, but in reality, he was still a bit willing. For twelve years at home, no one cared about him. For ten years after he had left home, no one really cared about him, let alone walk into his heart. He was used to all kinds of darkness. Therefore, he longed for someone who belonged entirely to him, someone who belonged only to him, someone whom he could love wholeheartedly. At this time, Qin Mian appeared. Even though he was dark, thin and weak, he had no parents, no one to rely on, and after marrying him, he could only rely on him. Therefore, he would not agree and leave no matter what. Even though Qin Mian was a man. Having been abused by the Madam Du for so many years, he did not like girls. It was good if Qin Mian was a man, men understood men better. In the begi

ing, he only wanted to take control of Qin Mian; now, Qin Mian was the person he loved.

"Talking to you?" Qin Mian used his pencil to knock on Lei Tia's head.

Lei Tia held onto his left hand, his deep voice filled with magnetism, "I'm listening, keep going."

Qin Mian's pencil continued to slide down the paper, "This piece of land is for growing vegetables, this piece for growing flowers, this piece for growing grapes, this piece for growing peach trees ?? This patch of pepper. This piece can be used flexibly, seeing the season to plant watermelon, melons and so on. The small forest will remain for now, so we can change it into a small garden in the future. "

"You arranged it well." Lei Tia said.

The two of them carried a bundle of long and thin sticks and went out, dividing a large piece of barren land into pieces. After busying themselves for more than two hours, they started sweating profusely.

When the weather gets warmer, you can plant fruit trees.

After the fifteenth day of the first month, the year was over. The weather was getting warmer, and a few trees had already grown into pimples, yet there were still no signs of green sprouts.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia made a trip to the shop. After settling all the matters there, they put most of their energy into the newly bought land.

The two of them first hired a good planter in the village, then went to the neighboring town's orchard to buy fruit trees. They didn't buy saplings, but adult trees, that is, fruit trees that had previously been hung with fruit. Although transplanting an adult tree would not be easy, Qin Mian was very confident since he had the space to do so.

He bought a total of twenty peach trees, ten yellow peach trees, ten pear trees, six cherry trees, six date trees, ten plum trees, twenty orange trees, and two pomegranate trees. Ordinary people normally wouldn't be willing to spend money to buy fruit to eat. In addition, at this time, people were not very skilled at handling fruit trees. The fruit taste was very ordinary, so there wasn't much of a market for fruit and fruit trees were sold cheaply. Qin Mian spent less than four taels of silver on nearly a hundred trees.

On the way back to the village, he passed by the small town and bought ten taels of silver from the village's bank, which made it convenient for him to pay the workers to start work.

Dozens of donkey carts and ox-carts carried trees into the village in a formidable array, attracting the attention of the villagers.

"Seems like Lei Tia really struck gold, buying just a few acres of land and so many fruit trees." A villager said with a look of envy on his face.

Another villager said, "Fruits don't make any money, so why are they buying so many fruit trees? "Strange."

Another villager laughed and said, "Will it be cheaper if we buy fruits in the future?"

Some of the villagers exclaimed in surprise, "My father will take care of the fruits, maybe he will be able to find a job in Lei Tia's orchard."

"..."

and Lei Tia had no time to care about all this. They instructed the people who were driving the chariots to transport the fruit trees to the pla

ed area, and then hired ten people to dig mud from the fields, rivers and ponds in the village. The mud was filled with the feces of goose cows and fish and shrimp. When the fruits were planted, Qin Mian would definitely use Spirit Spring Water s to improve their quality, and his actions were done to conceal the Spirit Spring Water s. The farmers of the Grand Xia Dynasty simply didn't know that this mud could be used as fertilizer, and no one had ever dug it out to make use of it, hence they gave it to Qin Mian for free.

The people Qin Mian invited were Zhang Dashuan, Wu Di, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and Precinct Head's two sons. There were six of them in total, after they dug a hole in the tree, they would first spread a layer of silt on the bottom of the hole before planting the tree. Finally, he settled the wages according to the number of trees he had planted, and he planted a tree for ten cents. This wage was quite high. The six of them calculated that each person could plant fourteen trees and earn over a hundred gold coins.

When Lei Tia called out to Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee, Lei Xiangren followed closely behind. When he heard Qin Mian say that the wages would be paid according to the amount of the trees being planted, he found an excuse to slip away.

Qin Mian deeply sympathized with Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangzhi, if they did not split up in the future, they would have to continue raising this "Young Master" Lei Xiangren.

Looking at Lei Xiangren's back figure, Lei Xiangyi's face turned black, and then looking at the expressionless Lei Xianglee, he secretly made up his mind that after Lei Xianglee married his wife, he would tell Lei Daqiang about the matters of their branch family. Lei Xianglee and Lei Chuntao had not spoken out for a long time because Lei Daqiang and the Madam Du had already said that after Lei Xiangzhi became an Elementary Scholar, the value of both of them would increase accordingly, and there would be a better choice when speaking of marriage. Fortunately, Lei Xiangzhi will be participating in the Tong Sheng Trial in no time. Lei Xiangyi could afford it.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not touch it, but offered tea to the few people growing the tree.

As Zhang Dashuan dug, he asked Qin Mian curiously, "Fruits are not worth much, can you guys make money growing so many fruit trees?"

Qin Mian joked, "It's fine if you can't earn money, but it's good to see so many fruit trees blossoming."

When Wu Di heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Sister-in-law, this Brother Zhang is serious."

"If you want to be rich, plant fruit trees." Lei Tia learned how to grow fruit trees outside, so we'll plant and try. " Qin Mian's expression did not change even when he told his lies.

Lei Tia stood beside Qin Mian and caressed his ears, not saying a word.

Qin Mian smiled. So what if he relied on Lei Tia's indulgence?

His words made Zhang Dashuan and the others all laugh. However, they did not take this sentence to heart. Raising a fruit tree required money and skill. Even if they wanted to follow the wind, they did not dare to take the risk.

Zhang Dashuan and the others were all strong farmers, with great strength and efficiency. They had finished all the trees before nightfall. Each tree had its own mark, so it could be counted. Qin Mian and Lei Tia immediately sent their wages, in addition to giving each of them a pack of sweets, which could be brought back for their children to eat.

Zhang Dashuan and the others felt that his actions were sincere. They all thought at the same time that if the Lei Tia Family hired more people in the future, they would still be willing to come.

A few villagers, who had nothing better to do, watched from the side as they each held a heavy bag of copper coins and a bag of snacks. They were a little envious, and made the decision to build good relations with Qin Mian and his group in the future.

When everyone had left, Qin Mian and Lei Tia who were preparing to return home, a burly, dark faced man walked over. "Brother Qin, Brother Tie."

Qin Mian had a good memory, he immediately remembered who this person was. He had met this person a few times and had never spoken with him, and had only spoken a few words during New Year's Eve, "You are Xiao Hu's father, Big Brother Fang."

Fang Wu smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Qin has a good memory."

In the past, when Xiao Hu helped look after Gu Zi, Fang Wu did not stop Xiao Hu. It could be seen that he did not have any hatred towards because of his marriage.

"What is it?" Lei Tia asked.

Fang Wu said: "It's like this, I want to ask if your orchard needs someone to take care of it." My father helped a landowner take care of the fruit trees for a few years, so he had some experience. He's old now, and my brother and I both want him to have a good time at home, but he can't stay long and goes down with us to chop wood. I thought, "He's good at taking care of fruit trees, and it's easier than farming, so I wanted to ask him for the job."

Lei Tia embraced Qin Mian's shoulder, "My wife, you decide."

Qin Mian asked Fang Wu, "We do need people, but may I know how old you are this year? Are you healthy? "

Fang Wu said in a relaxed ma

er, "Old Master is already 61 this year, but Brother Qin, you can rest assured that his body is healthy."

With that, he probed, "How about, tomorrow I let him come for a walk?"

Qin Mian smiled and nodded, "Alright. Hearing what Big Brother Fang said, Elder Faang is indeed very much in our favor, but it will also depend on the elderly. "
