The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 231 Building a House

In the end, the two couldn't stand each other, and went back to the house angrily.

Qi Haoran thinks that these few years will be a rare opportunity. They can use Hanzhong as their base to fully recover other lost land. Then the matter of cavalry can no longer be delayed. I want to buy a foal and raise it slowly.

Fan Zijin, on the other hand, was worried about having no money. A small pony cost about twenty taels, and a battalion of cavalry had to have about five hundred men. It is standard configuration for each person to have a horse and one horse. Half, that would cost seven hundred and fifty horses, or fifteen thousand taels at the lowest price, not counting the follow-up fodder...

Fan Zijin sat in the study and counted the money he could spare, but finally felt that he was too poor.

Maybe he shouldn't put all his hopes on Guanshi Chen...

Mu Yangling was sitting in the yard repairing the iron plow, and his aunt instructed her to stuff a piece of flattened wood into it, and then she broke it with her hands, and felt that it should be stable, so she said: "Okay, this way it can be used Now, you have to learn how to repair these things, otherwise you will have to go to the city to find someone to repair them if they break, and it will be too expensive."

"I've learned it now, Auntie, and I'm going to plow tomorrow?"

Auntie tucked her hands into her sleeves, the weather was already a bit cold, she looked up at the sky, and said, "Do you really plan to plant winter wheat?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "Take advantage of the lack of work now, otherwise next spring will definitely be too busy. Take a look at this spring. After a month, which one of our family is not thin and out of shape? This kind of intensity is enough once or twice After a long time, the human body can't stand it anymore."

"That's what I said, but the cultivation is too dense, and the land may be destroyed." This is what Ma Liu is most worried about. In the past, they planted the land for half a year and let the land rest for half a year. This preserves the fertility of the land.

But this year, wheat and rice were first planted in those high-quality lands, and corn was planted after harvesting, and now winter wheat is also planted. The cultivation is too dense, and the fertility of the land cannot keep up. , or even inferior places.

"I know what you mean, don't worry, don't we have four or five piles of rabbit dung in our field? Later, I will go to the city to buy some night incense, and then I will dig some pond mud, mix it and dry it, and sprinkle it on the ground. Go to the field, sprinkle a thick layer, and plow it twice, I don’t believe that the fertility of this land can’t be guaranteed.”

Ma Liu's eyes widened in astonishment, she had never seen such a conservation of soil fertility in her life.

Mu Yangling got up and shook the iron plow, said with a smile: "My father will be off tomorrow, just let him go back to work."

The aunt poked her on the forehead and said with a smile: "Ghost spirit, your father took two days off after all. He ordered him to work as soon as he came back, so there was no time for anyone to rest."

"If my father is allowed to rest at home, it will be even more uncomfortable for him." Mu Yangling put his things into the utility room and closed the door, but the movement was a little louder, and the yellow mud on the wall fell down.

Mu Yangling widened his eyes and looked at it for a while, then reached out to break the wall...

"Don't..." Before my aunt could speak, Mu Yangling had already broken off a large piece of yellow mud on the wall. Mu Yangling threw away the yellow mud guiltily, wiped his hands on his clothes, and said with a smile: " Auntie, my strength seems to have increased again..."

"Why is it rising, you brat, this house is already bad enough, and you're still digging things down, you're not afraid of the house collapsing."

"Then why don't we build a big house, Auntie, our family is not short of money now," Mu Yangling said, "When my father comes back, tell him that our house will build a two-entry blue brick and tile house. Every time we enter, we will build five rooms, and when the time comes, there will be one room for each person, and we will set up an embroidery workshop for Xiulan and my mother, and a study room for Bowen."

"That's right," my aunt pondered, "I don't know how long I can live in this house. While your father is at home, it's time to ask someone to build a house. Anyway, it's slack time, and everyone is bored at home. I'll call for it later." Your cousin and the others came to work."

Mu Yangling was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his aunt said: "But even if our family is going to build a new house, you can no longer pick the mud on the wall, your strength will really collapse the house, Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it, Auntie, don't worry, I will never touch this wall again, if you don't believe me, tell Xiuhong to look at me, if I touch it, you will chop my hands off."

The aunt patted her hand and said: "You are poor, that's enough, go and play, I will go to the back to serve my vegetable field."

Seeing that her aunt had left, Mu Yangling picked up a rock under her feet and crushed it. Mu Yangling looked at her hand in a daze, why did her strength increase again?

Ordinarily, it's impossible. Her strength hasn't increased since she was nine years old. It's been a year, and she thought it was just like that. Unexpectedly, it suddenly increased again. Could it be because of her internal strength training?

But she has been meditating for more than half a year, and now she doesn't even feel the slightest breath in her dantian, but her legs have changed from numb to not numb, and from fidgeting to falling asleep while doing it.

Or does this strength increase with age? When is the peak?

Twenty to thirty?

Mu Yangling squeezed his fists and thought to himself: It's a pity, the army doesn't accept women...

It is necessary to choose a land to build a house, and now they live naturally cannot be collapsed, so they can only choose a land nearby.

No one would object, Mu Shi has a hundred households now, and he is the biggest official in the village, so he quickly agreed with Xiao Qi to set aside a piece of land for him next to his current house.

The Mu family built the house, Liu Ting and the others all came to help, and Mu Shi spent more money to hire nine people, and it was almost done. He discussed with Liu Ting and the others how to build the house, and even if he was not at home, Liu Ting was there to supervise the work. With the Liu family here, they are not afraid that other workers will think that the Mu family is lazy or play tricks because they are not in their prime.

The Mu family's wages for the nine workers are 20 Wen per day, which is neither high nor low, and belongs to the upper-middle level. When Mu Yangling checked the account books, he found that Liu Ting and the others were all helping for free and had no money to pay.

Mu Yangling was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Auntie, cousin, why don't they get paid?"

The aunt said without raising her head: "They are from my own family, what wages do they want? Don't be silly. You go to the city tomorrow to buy two catties of pork belly. If you don't have any, buy some fat ones instead of skinny ones. When people come to work for our family, we have to let them eat well so that they will have strength."

Ah Ling went to buy pork. Except for pork belly, all the meat he bought was leaner than fat. Their family was used to eating meat and thought it was okay. If someone else ate it, it would inevitably feel that the oil was not enough.

Mu Yangling also knew that it is better to be fat than thin in this age, so he nodded in response. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I won't pay my cousin and them? I think it's very hard for them to come to work for our family."

Now the aunt raised her head, she looked at Mu Yangling and said, "You kid, don't do anything stupid, if you dare to ask your cousin about wages, see if he ignores you in the future, they will come to help It’s love, what did you pay them for? I’ve never heard of asking money for helping relatives build a house. Have you ever collected money for helping your uncle and the others work?”

Mu Yangling shook his head.

"In the past, did your father and your cousin dare to raise money with me when they repaired my house?"

Mu Yangling shook his head.

"That's the end of it. Don't worry about the house. You should plow the land tomorrow. Didn't you say that you want to plant 30 acres of winter wheat? That land has to be plowed before it can be fertilized." .”

"I can't plow alone..."

"That's right," my aunt frowned, "I'll go with you tomorrow, and it shouldn't be a problem to have your cousins ​​at home."
