Bai Shan was curious, "What is the price of rice in Longzhou grain shop now?"
"The second-class rice costs seven fen a dou, the top-grade rice costs eight wen a dou, and the second-class rice costs only six wen, which is cheap."
The corner of Bai Shan's mouth turned up slightly, "Although the price of rice has dropped, it looks like the same as in previous years, but in fact the price has dropped, and money is more valuable than before, so everyone still made some money."
"Besides, the price of rice is low, so everyone will be more willing to eat porridge, rice, bran and beans, and so on, you can mix in less."
The old man nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, now our family eats dry food twice a day, and we can eat dry food three times during the busy farming season. Life is much better than before."
After a pause, he saluted Bai Shan, "The patriarch said it was all thanks to Uncle Shan. This rice seed was planted by Uncle Shan's family, and all the new rice seeds in the clan were sent back by Sifang. We I have always wanted to kowtow to Uncle Shan, but no one from Sifang has come back..."
Although the other party was young, but he was so old, how could Bai Shan dare to accept his gift, he quickly stretched out his hand to support him, "This new rice seed is planted by my wife's family, I am just like you, I just got rich."
"Then when the aunt of the fourth room comes back, I will bring the children to kowtow to the door."
Zhou Man would have been frightened to death. As soon as she returned to Longzhou, so many people kowtowed to her, and the old man with gray beard called her aunt.
Bai Shan just thought about it and couldn't help but feel happy.
As for farming, he didn't even understand the children of the Bai family who came after Bai Shan, so they could get in the middle of the conversation between Bai Shan and the farmers at first, but then they could only listen.
Bai Shan patted his robe and stood up, "This land is well planted, but I think the canal only leads to this side, and depending on the terrain, it is absolutely possible to open another canal at the other end to reach the upper reaches, so that the irrigation of that field will be easier. There will be no problem, and the canal can be circulated, and it can be divided into three parts directly, but all three parts can have water to take care of it."
When his old nephew heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, my family also has two fields on the other side, and the harvest is not as good as that on this side, because the irrigation can't keep up, but this canal..."
Bai Shan smiled and looked at Bai Shen, "Cousin Shen, I think you can send someone to investigate after the autumn harvest. There are many people in the clan, so it's not difficult to build a canal."
"How about this, I will pay 10,000 yuan. If I can repair the canal, it will also benefit the clan."
When Bai Shen heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Then our eldest son will pay 20,000 yuan. Don't worry, good cousin. I will organize the children of the clan to repair the water conservancy after the autumn harvest is over."
Regarding Bai Shan's proposal, the Bai family members breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up, "He is finally willing to intervene in the affairs of the clan. You should keep this matter in mind and handle it well. When it is done, tell him and let him know about the family affairs." Li valued him."
"With the first time, there will be the second time and the third time," one person said: "After he has developed feelings for the clan, it will be easier to find him in the future."
The Bai clan always felt that Bai Shan could not be caught, because he basically had no relationship with the clan, and he basically didn't care about clan affairs.
Mrs. Liu handled all matters involving their fourth wife.
Although the money that should be paid by Sifang has been paid out, and the efforts that should be made have also been made, but Bai Shan, who is in charge of the family, doesn't care about things, so they have a feeling that Sifang is useless.
It's okay for Sifang to be weak when he was young, and what everyone is looking at is his family property; but Sifang has become stronger, and compared with those family properties, it is natural that the interests represented by Bai Shan are more important.
Naturally, Bai Shan knew this too. During the three days in Longzhou, he dealt with so many people every day with hypocrisy, and his head was about to dizzy.
So when he left, he took the carriage directly.
In the car, he rubbed his forehead, and said to Daji who was sitting outside: "It's really more of a headache than government affairs in the court."
Daji smiled and said: "Lang mainly doesn't like it, so he will come back less in the future."
Bai Shan nodded, "I will bring my children back to worship the ancestors next year, but it's a pity that my father is in Longzhou, otherwise..."
He's definitely coming back for less.
Although he was dizzy during the trip to Longzhou, Bai Shan still brought back a lot of gifts for Zhou Man and the others.
"They're all Longzhou's special products. I asked my family to buy them. You can see if you like them."
Yin had never been to Longzhou, so he searched the most carefully. He picked out some things he hadn't seen much and handed them to Changshou, then asked: "I heard that there is a Puhua Temple in Longzhou that is very effective. Have you been there?"
"No," Bai Shan looked up at him and asked, "Why, do you want to go?"
Yin's heart was about to stir, "You say that I will go out of Beijing alone, will my family agree?"
Bai Shan pointed at him and said with a smile: "Yin Ju, you are getting wilder now." He turned his head to look at Zhou Man, and asked her, "What do you think?"
Zhou Man thought about it seriously and said: "Master Yin... probably agrees, if you don't agree, you can just call and beg, the important thing is the old lady in your house, I don't think she will agree .”
"Then I'll go out of the city quietly, and kill first and then play?" Yin Huan glanced at Liu Huan secretly.
Liu Huan, who rarely had free time, was almost choked by him, swallowed the fruit in his mouth, and then said: "I can cut first and play later, but you definitely can't."
Liu Huan said: "If you go out of the city, Mr. Yin will definitely know soon. Can the fast horse of Yin's house catch up with your carriage?"
You know, the entire capital city is under Yin Li's control, unless Zhou Man and Bai Shan invite him, Yin probably won't go out of the city once a year, if he goes out of the city by himself, Yin Li probably will know in less than a quarter of an hour.
Zhou Man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just be patient, Mrs. Yin is not in good health, so don't be angry with her at this time."
If he got angry for good or bad, Yin might not regret it to death
Zhou Man rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "If you really want to travel, you can go with us when we return to our hometown next year?"
Yin moved his mind, but said: "This is not good, is it inconvenient?"
"No," Zhou Man said, "as long as you don't find it inconvenient."
Bai Shan also nodded, "When the time comes, there will be many people going back, and there won't be any more than you. It's just that you may not be able to take good care of them."
Yin said with a smile: "What's the matter, I can even go to the Western Regions, but I can't go to Jiannan Road?"
With hope, Yin or faintly became excited, and said goodbye to several people, "I'll go back and get ready first."
"Wait," Bai Shan exclaimed, "There is still a year left, what are you in a hurry for?"
Bai Erlang said: "He is playing wild, since he came back from Qingzhou, it is very difficult for him to stay at home anymore."
A year is not short, but it is not long, at least in the eyes of Zhou Man and Bai Shan, it passes very quickly, because of the busyness, it feels like a year has not been passed, and the days pass by in a blink of an eye. .
As soon as the ghost month passed in the second year, Bai Shan and Zhou Man paid a premium to ask for family leave, and counting the vacations they had accumulated in the past two years, they took a total of 50 days of family leave.
