Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family
Chapter 92 Buying another field
Lin Wulang and the other three immediately packed up their things and would go to Zheng's house with Gu's father to see the two of them.
Gu Yao smiled and said, "Bring more things, like some soft silk, so they can make underwear after their baby is born."
Lin Wulang smiled and said, "We have prepared everything. I don't know if the two of them are good at the portraits. We should go and take a good look later."
Gu Yao is not going as she has a lot of things to do. It would be fine if Lin Wulang and the others go instead.
Gu Yao saw that there was still early, so she planned to go to their farm with her mother. Her mother had bought a small farm before.
There were many house searches during this period, so many farms and real estate have been put up for sale.
She certainly can't buy a house in a good location, but she can still buy some more remote villages.
Gu's mother spent another eight hundred taels to buy a farm of nearly one hundred acres.
Although it is cheaper than before, this place is not very good and most people don't want to buy it.
But Gu's mother thought that they were all fields anyway, and as long as they could grow crops, it didn't matter if they were a little more remote. At least they had some family property in the capital again.
Seeing that the quality of these lands was not as good as other lands, Zhuangzi and Gu's mother felt a little worried.
"What do you think you can grow on these fields? I don't think anything will come out of them if you grow crops on them. The land is not good at all. No wonder the one hundred acres is sold at a low price."
When Gu Yao looked at the tenants in the farm, she knew that the farm was not worth much. These tenants were not well dressed and were so thin that the bones were almost showing.
Gu Yao squatted down and looked at the dry land. She felt that the soil was a bit hard. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's fertilize the land and nourish it. Anyway, we have other farms. We don't have to count on it to produce crops. As long as we nourish the land, we will definitely be able to grow good food in the future."
"It's possible to raise them, but it takes too long, and we don't know what to use. Although we can use some wood ash, it's useless."
Of course, Gu's mother wanted to maintain the land. She relied on the land for her livelihood. If her daughter had not come to the capital, she would probably have lived in that small place of Gujia Village without enough food and clothing all her life.
Gu Yao also knew that the land must be fertilized to survive, but she didn't know how to make fertilizer at all.
Moreover, these lands are originally wasteland, and it is very difficult to cultivate them with fertilizers.
Besides, there is no way to make these lands viable.
At this time, Gu Yao thought about the fact that she had lived in the countryside before. She also knew that it could be raised by some manure, but there was not much manure in this village, and more than 100 acres of land was not enough.
But Gu Yao thought that there were many night-sweepers in the city. Why not send someone to buy some?
Although it is possible that you won't be able to buy anything, it is at least better than relying solely on the manure from the tenants to nourish the land.
Gu Yao told these methods to her mother. After listening to them, her mother thought for a while and said, "It is indeed possible to buy night fragrance, but can night fragrance really nourish the soil?"
Gu Yao said: "We will know after we give it a try. It won't cost much anyway. Let's try it out. As long as it can make our land better, it will be great."
Mother Gu thought about it and realized that it was true, it would be better to raise the dog if it was just left there.
Seeing how poor these tenants were, he said, "After all, these tenants are our family members. It makes me sad to see them hungry and cold. Let's give them some food to feed them first. Besides, our land still depends on them to farm."
Gu's mother is not a cruel person, she also comes from a farming family.
After listening to Gu Yao's words, he said, "This is the only way. After all, we have to raise them so that they can farm for our Gu family."
These tenants did not expect that the new owner would actually give them food for free. When they heard what they said, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Yao and the others several times.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. We have no way of repaying your kindness. Don't worry, we will farm well."
"You don't have to thank me. Since you are my tenants, I will not let you starve to death. Besides, the harvest from this land is not very good. After the harvest, we will only give you 10%. You can take the rest back to eat. If the land is good and more food is grown, we will definitely give you more. I hope you can understand."
When the tenants heard this, they immediately said, "We understand. It is only right that we rent the land for a long time after the land is well developed."
Now that they have met such a good boss, of course they are willing.
And seeing that they are willing to give them free meals, wouldn’t it be ungrateful if they were still unwilling to do so?
Then Gu's mother immediately arranged for someone to buy night-blooming incense in the city.
There are a lot of night-scented plants in the capital, so if you buy some, it will definitely be enough to fertilize their land.
Night fragrance is not very expensive, and the Gu family can still afford it.
After that, Gu's mother had been keeping an eye on the farm's fields, wanting to see if night fragrance could make the land more fertile.
Gu Yao knew it was definitely possible, after all, this method of fertilizing the land was still being used in modern times.
What's more, there was no fertilizer, and she didn't know how to develop fertilizer, so she had to use these methods.
Gu Yao was promoted this time, which she felt was not bad. At least the work was not so much, and she had two subordinates. Her work in the Hanlin Academy was getting more and more successful.
Qian Xiumin and Zheng Shuyi were also promoted, one to the fifth rank and the other to the seventh rank editor.
This corruption case made the three of them the winners, but some people with outstanding abilities in the Hanlin Academy were also promoted, which made the academicians a little sad but also very happy.
Let those incompetent people step down quickly, and make the people in the Hanlin Academy more clear-headed.
Minister Liang said that he had been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue and was now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Her abilities were already outstanding, and it was she who used her connections to get her a job in the Ministry of Revenue.
Generally speaking, going to the Six Ministries can mean that your official position will be immediately promoted to a higher level, as well as your status and salary.
So this is why many people from the Hanlin Academy will go to the Six Ministries after working in the Hanlin Academy.
In fact, Gu Yao felt that it didn't matter whether she went or not. After all, she had a high social status now, and she had a family business and a salary. She could be said to be a winner in life.
In the Hanlin Academy, she can get the respect of many people. Every day is not hard, which is also her dream life now.
Qian Xiumin looked at her idle look and smiled: "You know, getting promoted is everyone's dream. I didn't expect you don't want it. Don't you want to go to the Sixth Ministry?"
Gu Yao smiled and said, "It's okay to go or not. Anyway, I like my current job very much. What's more, when I took the imperial examination, I just wanted to do free labor for my family and let my mother and father be respected. Now that I have achieved this life, it's pretty good.
