The plan of the year lies in the spring, and after the sting, it is spring ploughing. Because he went out of the palace last year to persuade the cultivator to be assassinated, a grandson died, and a son still doesn't know if it's his own, Emperor Jianlong is very depressed, and he is not in the mood to leave the palace this year.

But this year, the Qin family is even busier. Because Xiao Nuan increased the number of Zhuangzi under her name to twenty-three in one go, of which twenty were to grow cotton! Fortunately, the cotton seeds they got from the three Zhuangzi last year were able to plant these Zhuangzi, otherwise they would have to spend a lot of money just to buy cotton seeds.

Although there was a bumper harvest of cotton last year, the price of cotton seeds did not drop at all this spring, and there is still no market. The people of Dengzhou got the benefits of planting cotton, and they asked the craftsmen to play the cotton wool and buy it at a good price, and the cotton seeds were properly prepared according to the method of the "Warm Agricultural Classic", and this spring they planted all the fields that could grow cotton. The remaining cotton seeds are planted by the family or the family first, rather than being sold for cash.

Because of these cotton seeds, the cotton harvested in the autumn is much more cost-effective than selling cotton seeds now.

After a spring rain, cotton seeds are planted in the fields with the hope of farmers. These fields have been fertilized enough, and they have been ploughed by ploughing oxen with plough sticks, and everyone standing at the edge of the field looks at the fields that have not yet sprouted, and their eyes are full of anticipation.

Han Erye, who was on crutches, smiled, "If God appreciates his face, the dilapidated houses in our village can be renovated next year, and the singles will be able to marry daughters-in-law." ”

Qin De was also pleased, "In a few years, the clan will have to build a house, and Mr. will invite a few more." ”

After a single man marries a daughter-in-law, each family has a better life, and there are more dolls, and more dolls are enrolled in the school, and now those few schools are not enough.

Fourth Master Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, "This matter can't just let the Chen family pay for it, our clan doesn't have so much money." ”

"The three tribes can also work, make up materials and pay money, but after that, the children of the three tribes don't have to be tied up in school." Second Master Han is very shrewd.

Fourth Master Chen pursed his lips, "I have to discuss this matter with Zu Mo." ”

"Yes, you write him a letter. Can you write? Let my second grandson ghostwrite for you? "Second Master Han said that it was a smugness. Three years ago, there were few literate people in the village, and since there was a family study, there are few illiterate children in this wave, how can he not help but be happy.

Chen Siye snorted, "No need, my third grandson can also write." ”

Qin De asked, "Where did you come from your third grandson?" ”

Chen Siye said hatefully, "Ranked by the generations of the clan, don't say three grandsons, thirteen old sons have!" ”

Qin De smiled evilly, "Lao Tzu has sons, and Ye has grandsons." ”

Chen Siye was anxious, "Are you looking for a quarrel?" You're not much better than Lao Tzu? Look there, look there! ”

Qin De looked at Chen Siye's fingers and felt bad too. Other people's fields have been plowed and planted with cotton, and it seems that Qin Zhengpu's family still has more than a dozen acres of fertile land with withered grass. Last year, Qin Zhengpu's family also planted cotton, but Zhang's lazy woman was too lazy to weed and catch insects, and after Da Lang died, they only cared about Da Lang's funeral, and they couldn't even take care of the fields.

If it weren't for Qin Zhengtian's help, Qin Zhengpu's family would not have been able to recover the cotton at all last year. Qin Deke knew that Qin Zhengtian gave his brother enough cotton seeds to plant ten acres of land this spring, but these two people actually let the field be bald, and they waited for his Lao Tzu and his second brother to plant for them? !

Qin Sanhao and his family can be turned upside down, and his family has more than 20 acres of land, which is considered a rich family in the village, otherwise Chen Zumo would not marry the Qin family. When he divided the family with his two sons, he only gave the eldest twenty-nine acres of land, and the rest was given to the eldest because the eldest wanted to provide for the old couple and had nothing to say.

But now the two of them are living with the second son, Tian didn't re-divide it, and the eldest couple didn't give the old man food to the past, and the second child gave them cotton seeds for the sake of his brother's affection, and they all helped with this, what else do they want?

As the patriarch, Qin De didn't have time to quarrel with Chen Si, so he went to Qin Zhengpu's house to ask what was going on.

Qin Zhengpu went out to carry the work for others, and Zhang, who was lazy, yawned and replied, "Uncle De, we can't borrow ploughing cattle, how can we plough and plant?" Hmph, his second uncle has someone to help, we don't have that little face, no one cares! ”

Qin Zhengtian's land was brought by the steward of the first village to help plough the cows, and at this time, the Zhang family was still picking on this reason, didn't he wait for Xiaocao and her mother to take the initiative to send someone over to help them turn over the ground and plant?

She's got such a big face!

Qin De didn't even feel bored when he scolded her, and only warned, "According to the Great Zhou Decree, if there is labor at home but the fertile land is left uncultivated, the yamen has the right to return the fertile land to public ownership and send people to cultivate it." Ten days later, your field has not been planted, so I will ask Li Zheng to report to the Yamen! ”

When Zhang heard this, he was anxious, "Why, that's my family!" ”

"You still have the face to say it's your family? I'll tell you again, Xiaocao's mother set off last night to plant cotton in the 20th village in other states, and Shiro and his father went to Yangzhou to buy goods, and they can't come back for ten days! After Qin De finished speaking, he angrily went to find Qin Sanhao, his own son didn't care, he was counting on who would discipline him!

When he arrived at Qin Zhengtian's house and asked, Qin De almost fell down in anger, "What do you say they are doing?" ”

"The old couple said that they took San Lang into the city to catch the market, who knew that they were waiting for Zhengtian at the ferry, and they had to go down to Yangzhou with him, Zhengtian had no choice, so he had to take them to go, and the person who delivered the letter had just left...... "If it weren't for Shiro's diarrhea, they would have taken their son away, and Li Shi took his son's little hand, and he was afraid for a while.

"Nonsense! What did Xiao Nuan say? Qin De stomped his feet angrily, Zhengtian is going to do business, what is it for them to follow!

Xiao Nuan also went out, and only Xiaocao was at home. Xiaocao said that they would follow if they liked, but their flowers could not go through the account of the shop, because they were not the people in the shop. Li lowered his head and didn't go to the public account, so he had to spend Zhengtian's money. Li couldn't say anything if she was dissatisfied, that was her in-laws!

Qin De let out a sigh of relief, "The person who is about to enter the earth is not as sensible as an eight-year-old child!" Eight years old, other children's babies are still playing with mud, and Xiaocao can take care of things. ”

"Grandpa, Xiaocao is nine years old."

The crisp sound of children's voices sounded behind him, and Qin De turned around to see Xiaocao standing behind him with Rhubarb and her maids. Qin De's gaze fell on Xiaocao's stick, which was taller than her, and asked in fear, "Xiaocao, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiaocao smiled and bent her eyes, "Come and see if Shiro is better, and then go talk to Grandpa Lizheng." ”

What are you talking about? Qin De swallowed his saliva, "Xiaocao, you don't read and draw anymore?" ”

"Get down to business first, and then read it." Xiaocao smiled sweetly, "Although Xiaocao is the best reader in the village, Mr. said that there are many children who are better than me, and they can't be slack." ”

Qin De wondered, "Xiaocao doesn't take the top prize, it's good to be able to read, write, and settle accounts, why do you have to be so powerful?" ”

Xiaocao's little head raised, "Because, the most powerful is cool enough." ”
