Nongmen mother-in-law's road to decree text volume Chapter 372 The three-year-old fruit trees in Yang's family will bear even less fruit. One tree can sell for about eight catties, and the account of one thousand taels will return the original, mainly in three years. The difference between the price of the fruit tree and the five-year fruit tree is not double, and the three-year fruit tree costs three renminbi. The Yang family bought 2,200 pieces and gave away more than one hundred. I bought two thousand pieces, invested a total of more than 800 taels of silver, and made a profit of more than 100 taels.

Lizhou City followed suit and planted apples, some made money and some didn’t get their money back, but they all saw the profits and were happy even if they didn’t get their money back.

Zhou Shuren also collected the fruit here. The most fruit merchants in Lizhou City now are fruit merchants. At the beginning, Zhou Shuren ordered three-year fruit trees. Some farmers took two and planted them in the yard, and some took one, because There are few plants, and the whole family takes good care of them. Except for all kinds of dead ones, basically each one can be sold for about ten catties.

Excluding the fruit tree money returned to the yamen, the people who planted two can have 400 Wen left, and those who planted one can also get 200 Wen. Moreover, if the fruit tree money is repaid this year, the money for selling fruit next year will be their own.

Lizhou City is really full of cars, waiting for the apples to be processed.

Zhulan noticed that Zhou Shuren had lost weight again, "The flesh you grew so hard is gone again."

Zhou Shuren, "Master Chen and I have been traveling around the county recently, and I have to check the accounts again. I am tired and thin. Didn't you see that Master Chen was already thin, but now he is too thin to hold an official robe."

Zhulan rolled her eyes inwardly, and Zhou Shuren was almost unable to support the official robe, so she had the nerve to say to others, "Now that the fruit is sold and the pigs are killed, you can also have a good rest."

Zhou Shuren was indeed relieved, all the money released by the yamen was recovered, and the accounts on the yamen finally looked better.

Although the pigs are not very big, the pig raisers can still have more than a dozen catties of pork left after paying back the money from the government.

Zhou Shuren also smiled when he thought of the smiles on the faces of the people and the innocent words of the children, "The apples and pork to the capital will start tomorrow."

Zhulan sighed, "The people are sincere, not to mention that your yamen has received apples and pork from various towns, our family has not lost people these days, and we don't need to buy pork at home. Go to the villages to give money, and those who don’t accept the money will take the grain and send it over. If they don’t accept it, some people will send it back. There is no way.

Zhou Shuren also had a headache, "The officials in the yamen also send money everywhere, and their legs are getting thinner these days."

Zhulan put her arms around Zhou Shuren's neck,

Bending your eyes, "This shows that you are a good official and the people recognize you very much. I am proud of you."

Zhou Shuren felt that he was also very great. He also asked the villages to sign contracts with merchants. The sales of fruits would be guaranteed in the next few years, and the vermicelli recipes were also given to merchants for free, but they only needed to sign a contract, and they could only be accepted in this state. He is not afraid that people will plant fruit trees and give up growing food.

Apples are indeed valuable, but there are also risks. In case of natural disasters such as drought, or fruit trees die of disease, food is still safe.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are high-yield crops. Lizhou City has been growing sweet potatoes and potatoes. They are very experienced in planting. Eight hundred catties per mu can be guaranteed. put down a lot of silver,

And if there is a natural disaster, there is still food to survive with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

People in Lizhou City have experienced hunger, and they are more willing to grow food.

Moreover, the price of fruit trees will definitely rise next year, and ordinary people still cannot afford to invest in it. Thinking of this, Zhou Shuren feels more at ease.

In the imperial palace, the emperor was waiting for news from Lizhou City, but the prince did not leave. Well, in fact, the emperor did not let the prince leave.

The person who reported finally delivered the booklet. The emperor looked at the summary at a glance, put down the booklet and laughed: "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhou left two guarantees for Lizhou City."

The crown prince has read the brochures of Lizhou City a lot this year. Ever since the granary in Lizhou City finally had food, he breathed a sigh of relief and just waited for today's news.

The emperor handed the booklet to the prince, "Look at it."

The prince browsed quickly, because it was urgent news, it took a few days to arrive in the capital, the news on the booklet said that all the pigs adopted by the people were killed, the prince curled his lips, "I was worried at first, the people all went to grow pigs. Apple stopped growing food, and I was wondering whether to write a booklet for my father to set the rules for Lizhou City. Before I wrote the booklet, Master Zhou thought about it. Is it the apple state, or the vermicelli state."

The emperor’s eyes are full of smiles. This is the best news I’ve heard this year. In the second half of this year, Lizhou has attracted many merchants. Merchants have more taxes and it’s very gratifying. Lizhou’s tax revenue is at the bottom at the best time. This year You can indeed look forward to, "Our Master Zhou is very good at using local resources."

In the past, the land in Lizhou was not fertile, and most of the crops were sweet potatoes. After harvesting, winter wheat was planted. Unfortunately, the yield of winter wheat was still pitifully small.

There are too many sweet potatoes, no one wants them, and the tax collection can't raise much. Now Zhou Shuren has solved it according to the land. My vision is really good.

The crown prince no longer wears a mask, which is indeed a happy event, "The apples and pork that Mr. Zhou sent to the capital should be on their way."

The emperor stroked his beard, "There are rewards for the court ministers this year, and everyone will share one point."

The crown prince smiled, and his heart was clear. The father was not only trying to save money, but also beating the ministers. Not to mention that the father wanted more ministers like Mr. Zhou. He hoped that as long as the court slowed down, the northeast border issue would be resolved. Completely resolved, the father established the country, he also has ambitions, he hopes to expand the territory, heck, the premise is that he is still in the position of the prince and ascended the throne safely.

In Lizhou City, Chen Chen was filled with emotions. He had never received anything from the people before. Although it was not as much as what the adults received last week, Chen Chen was also shocked.

Chen Chen said with emotion, "After being an official for so many years, I was determined to climb up every step of the way. I only realized the meaning of the official robe this year. I have lived for nothing for so many years. I have completely convinced Mr. Zhou."

Hua Shi didn't understand it so deeply, "Master, don't be emotional, it's getting late and it's time to rest."

Chen Chen, "...um."

Early the next morning, the convoy from Lizhou City to the capital set off, and Zhulan also received a letter from her hometown.

Zhou Laoer explained that he had arranged the house, and he also collected a lot of mushrooms and other mountain products.

After reading the letter, Zhulan counted the days. According to the speed of the letter, Zhulan estimated that the second child's family should arrive in half a month.
