Chapter 682 Everyone Is Growing

Hearing Baiyunxi's voice, the whole family rushed over, "Mom, why did you come back from the gang? Is the road peaceful?"

Baiyunxi waved his hand, "We came back right after the banquet. The oxcart was slow and delayed some time.

After a simple wash, Baiyunxi took out the things purchased by the county and distributed them to several people.

"Wow, Mom, did you buy us jewelry again?"

Mrs. Li took the silver hairpin and inserted it directly into her head. She touched it carefully and liked it very much.

"Yes, mother, you have bought several pieces for us."

Bai Anjing looked at the silver hairpin in his hand and said with a smile.

Holding the silver hairpin, Mrs. Du secretly promised that she would protect her things this time and never let anyone ask for them again.

"Not only did I buy it for you, we also have it."

Bai Yunxi said, pointing to the old silver hairpin in her bun.

"By the way, I met Zhao Yalang on the way back and made an appointment to see the property tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed early."

When Bai Anyan heard about the field property, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mom, are we buying land again?"

Anyway, jewelry, cloth, etc. have nothing to do with him. Mom said, it’s fine for boys to wear whatever they want, there’s no need to be particular about it.

"Go and have a look first, then buy it if you are satisfied. The more property you buy for your family, the better.

Bai Yunxi didn't hide anything and directly recounted what Zhao Yalang said to several people.

Originally, the three-year tax holiday for the East and West Slopes had expired. It just so happened that Xiaowu was admitted as a scholar, and their family could be tax-free again.

She is still waiting for Xiao Wu to pass the exam, which will allow him to get a deduction of 200 acres.

Their home is still some distance away from 200 acres.

After driving for a long time, Baiyunxi felt that it was extremely bumpy and sent people away.

She slept until dawn, and when she opened her eyes and looked at the familiar bed curtains, she finally felt at ease.

After washing up and having breakfast, Bai Anyan had already hitched the ox cart.

"Mom, when should we set off?"

"Now, make an appointment with Zhao Yalang to meet at the intersection of Xiaofangzhuang." Bai Yunxi put on a ginger cotton dress, took Wenyou with her, and the three of them set off together.

Since Mrs. Li became pregnant, she no longer yelled and ran out for fear of tiring the baby in her belly.

The sunshine in the morning was bright, but not too strong. The ox carts were leisurely walking on the official road, and there was a light breeze, which was quite pleasant.

When they reached the fork in the road, they saw Zhao Yalang already waiting.

"Zhao Yalang, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Sister-in-law Bai, you're welcome. I've just arrived." Zhao Yalang cupped his hands and got directly into the mule cart, leading the way.

Half an hour later, the group of them arrived at their destination.

"This area is all dry land, and it is a bit far away from the water source, but fortunately there is a well in the middle, so we can keep up with irrigation and other things."

Zhao Yalang pointed to a field in front of him, which was planted with spring wheat and was green and swaying in the wind. There are farmers working in the fields.

"Further on, there is a small Wangzhuang, where all tenant farmers live. Squire Wang said that if anyone values ​​this field, the spring crops can be sold at half price."

Baiyunxi listened, nodded, and walked forward along the path.

The iconic crop in dry land is spring wheat, which is dark green in color and has strong root systems, which proves that the fields are well maintained and the soil is fertile. As Zhao Yalang said, it is considered a middle field.

After walking around half a circle along the trail, Zhao Yalang took Baiyun Xi to see the well used for irrigation.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Listening to Zhao Yalang's inquiry, Bai Yunxi did not answer, but turned to look at Lao Er,

"An Yan, what do you think?"

Bai Anyan looked at the crop field in front of him, raised his hand and scratched his head, "I think it's good, but it's a bit expensive. It would be better if it could be cheaper."

Listening to Bai Anyan's tone, Zhao Yalang softened his words.

"The price of medium dry land is generally around five guan. Wang Xiangshen priced it at four guan. The price is already very reasonable."

"That's true, but these dry lands are too far away from water sources. Although there are wells, they are usually fine. Once there is a drought, one well is simply not enough. If we buy it, we will definitely drill two more wells for emergencies. "

In the past few years, Bai Anyan has learned a lot of planting methods from Shennong's planting manual. His horizons are wider than before, and many of his views are different from before.

"In total, it's a big expense. If it can be half a pound cheaper per acre, it can be considered."

Bai Yunxi looked at the second child with admiration flashing in his eyes. In the past few years, every member of the family has been growing. Although the second child is a bit dull and the growth rate is a bit slower, fortunately the trend is good.

After receiving the encouragement from his mother, Bai Anyan's face turned red and he turned to look at Zhao Yalang.

"If I were Squire Wang and wanted to dispose of some fields, I would definitely have to pick up some fields that are difficult to irrigate or manage."

Listening to Bai Anyan's analysis, Zhao Yalang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed at Bai Yunxi.

"Sister-in-law Bai, your son seems honest and honest, but I didn't expect his brain to be so smart and flexible. It's really eye-opening for me today."

"Zhao Yalang is well-deserved. My son, among other things, does have some talent in farming."

Baiyun Xi was not modest about himself and spoke happily.

"I wonder if those two points my son said are correct?"

Zhao Yalang looked at the mother and son for a moment, then nodded solemnly,

"Sister-in-law Bai has raised a good son and is insightful. The shortcoming of this field is indeed the irrigation problem. Squire Wang is in poor health and doesn't want to worry too much, so he thought of taking action."

Bai Yunxi nodded, "Zhao Yalang is also a straightforward person. You go and talk to Mr. Wang. Can you give half a guan off per mu?"

"This?"

Zhao Yalang hesitated. One mu is half a guan off, and one hundred mu is fifty guan, which is equivalent to half a lifetime of property for an ordinary family. It is estimated that it will be difficult to negotiate.

Bai Yunxi looked at Zhao Yalang's hesitant expression and smiled gently,

"Zhao Yalang, don't be embarrassed. Just take our words over and tell Mr. Wang about our ideas. Let him think about it for a few days. If he agrees, we will sign the documents and transfer the land deeds immediately."

"Yes, Zhao Yalang, it is said that buying and selling are not in the same mind, and everything must be discussed. You are a famous Yalang in our town. Only by facilitating the transaction can we all be happy."

"Of course."

Listening to the mother and son singing the same tune, Zhao Yalang had no choice but to nod and agree.

After all, there are not many families who can buy a hundred mu of land at once. The Bai family is definitely a big family.

"In that case, I will go to Wang's house right now. If there is any news, I will inform Bai's sister-in-law as soon as possible. How about that?"

"Then please."

Bai Yunxi looked at the wheat in front of her and her heart moved.

"If the Wang family doesn't want to get a bargain, there is another way, which is to give us this season's spring wheat."

In addition to the share given to the tenants, if the weather is normal, they will benefit a little. If the weather is bad, the grain production will be reduced, and it is unknown.

Compared to saving half a guan of money, using spring wheat to make up for it, they can be considered to have taken the risk.
