After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Jicun had just moved here, so he must want to make money. He could rent rabbits to them. He could rent a little rabbit, raise it, and give birth to little rabbits, and then return the big rabbit.

You don't have to feed the rabbits yourself, you can exchange them for money. But the operation needs to be discussed.

Ye Qing first counted the newly born rabbits in the family. Both the first and second batches of rabbits were born. There were more than one hundred baby rabbits and more than fifty adult rabbits in the family.

Ye Qing went to his uncle's house again. When he entered the house, he saw his uncle chopping wood. Ye Qing asked, "Uncle, how many newborn rabbits are there in your house now?"

"Qingya is here. We have almost two hundred rabbits at home. They make a headache every day." My uncle complained with a smile on his face.

A rabbit is sold when it weighs five or six kilograms, and you can only make a dozen taels for 200 yuan.

"Uncle, can you feed them all? The rabbits at the back are growing up. When they give birth, there will be more rabbits at home."

"Qingya, little rabbits can't be sold at a high price, so we can only raise them and sell them. It's okay if it's a bit tiring. Your second uncle and third uncle's families have also raised a lot of them."

"Uncle, I have an idea. Can you listen to it?" Ye Qing was not very sure.

"Qingya, you can say whatever you want in your own home. Your uncle will check it for you."

Ye Qing took a breath and then spoke slowly. "I heard that more than a hundred families came from Ji Village. They probably don't have much money left, so they must want to make more money."

"If they had money, they wouldn't come here. Big cities are much better than here." My uncle said with a sneer.

"We can rent the bunnies to them. Each family can rent up to four. When the bunnies are born, we can return the big bunnies to us and they can keep the little bunnies. Uncle, do you think they will agree?"

The uncle pondered for a while, and his tone became more serious. "Qingya, we are also fleeing here. If we didn't catch the rabbits ourselves, I would be willing to give them to me if someone was willing to do so."

Grandpa also took over the conversation: "It's no loss for them. They can get a few rabbits after working hard for a few months. There is grass everywhere outside, so it's easy to raise them."

"Maybe grandpa and his family will raise the baby and then secretly sell it, or maybe they will move away again." Ye Qing was a little worried.

"That shouldn't happen. There's land and water here, and the government is there to help. As long as they can survive, they won't leave." Grandpa Zhou was deeply touched.

"Grandpa, we want to sign an agreement with them. It's for a period of five months. The rabbits must be well raised, and the minimum amount of five kilograms must be returned when they are returned. The tenants will act as guarantors for each other, and we'll ask two villagers to act as witnesses." Ye Qing spoke out what he was thinking.

Grandpa Zhou added, "In the future, if you sell rabbits at the same price, we will buy them first."

Since no one else had anything to add, Ye Qing went back to find Boss Ye and the head of the village to ask for help.

"Dad, is the village head willing to help with this? Do you need to bring anything else?" Ye Qing was afraid that the village head would be unwilling to help and worry about it. After all, this was not the village head's job.

"Don't worry, Qingya. The village head is not only the village head, but also the patriarch of our Ye family. He will help if there is any problem in the clan. If you are worried, go get the four little rabbits and I will take them to the village chief." Boss Ye was not worried at all.

The father and daughter carried the rabbit to the headman's house. When they reached the door, they saw the headman chatting with someone.

"Uncle village head, I'd like to ask you for advice on something." Boss Ye bowed respectfully first.

"Wen Ning has something to tell his family." He turned to the person he was chatting with and said, "You guys continue chatting. I have something to do when I get home."

He brought the two of them into the house, and they sat in the main room. "Wen Ning, how is your father? Does he still smoke?"

"Uncle, my father is in good health. He can eat two bowls of rice at a meal. He didn't grow tobacco this year, so he doesn't smoke anymore."

"What are you doing here today?" The village head thought about it and realized that nothing big had happened in the village recently.

"Uncle asked Qingya to tell you that it was her idea." Boss Ye was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly.

Ye Qing was not afraid and told the story again openly. The headman's eyes became brighter as he listened.

"Good boy, this is what you thought of. With you in the Ye family, the future will be fine." The village head's previous dream was to develop and expand the Ye family. It was only after he became the village head that he realized how difficult it was. Now he sees hope again.

"Grandpa, the village head, my grandpa helped me think of some of the details." Ye Qing felt embarrassed by the praise.

"It's amazing that you have such an idea at this age. But you have raised too many rabbits and where to sell them." The village head was worried that there were few people in Wu'an City and he couldn't sell so many rabbits.

"Grandpa Village Head, there are caravans collecting goods. We will take as many as we can." Ye Qing did not hide it.

“Can we raise rabbits in our village? Let me tell you the rule, only a few families in the village catch rabbits and raise them themselves, and most of them still can’t make money.” Li Zheng was thinking about the situation in the village.

"My uncles also have a lot of rabbits, enough for the two villages to share." Ye Qing had calculated the total number before coming.

"Leave this matter to me. I will go to Ji Village to discuss it early tomorrow morning. You two can come with me. The village will decide the quantity tonight, and the extra will be given to Ji Village." The head of the village made the arrangements directly.

Boss Ye gave the rabbit he brought to the head of the village and took Ye Qing back with him.

On the way, Boss Ye told Ye Qing: "Qingya, the rabbits needed in the village come from your uncle's house. They are considered outsiders. As long as they have connections with the villagers, it will be easy for them to integrate into the village."

"Dad, I'll listen to you." Ye Qing had not thought about this aspect. If his uncle's family wanted to live well, they had to get along well with the villagers.

In the evening, after finishing their work in the fields, the villagers would go to Zhou's house to get their rabbits. The headman would ask his eldest son to keep records and return the rabbits according to the quantity in the account book.

The villagers owed the Zhou family's rabbits. When they met them while working outside, they would chat for a while. Several cousins ​​of the Zhou family also played with the children in the village.

The Zhou family was also polite, knowing that their brother-in-law was thinking about their family, so they took some wine to the Ye family and had a few drinks. They also went to the village head's house, bringing a few little rabbits and a bag of cakes.

Early in the morning, Boss Ye drove a bullock cart with Ye Qing and the head of the village to Ji Village. The residential land of Ji Village was full of shacks. Only some children were weeding around the shacks. There was no sign of adults.

Seeing the ox cart coming, the children hid in the shack and peeked out through the crack in the door.

Ye Qing got off the ox cart, walked to a shack, and said in a gentle tone: "Where is your headmaster? We are here to look for him."

"The headman's house is inside. I'll take you there." The child was not very old, only about five years old, with a thin body and a big head.

Boss Ye followed behind in the ox cart, while Ye Qing and the thin kid walked in front.

Ye Qing asked inconspicuously, "How many people are there in your family? Can they eat enough every day?"

"Little sister, there are four people in my family, including my parents and my sister. We ate up all the food on the road and now we eat wild vegetables every day." The thin child looked at Ye Qing's flowery clothes with envy.
