Bai Erlang was finally convinced, because Bai Shanbao said, "If you can realize what is written in the agricultural book, then you must have made a lot of money. With the money, we may go to Yizhou to play. Do you know Yizhou? This time I went back to Longzhou and passed through Yizhou, and it was very prosperous there."
Man Bao also said, "With money, next time your father beats you, you can take the money to live in the county town, buy a lot of delicious food, eat a bowl and throw a bowl, your father can't beat you .”
Bai Erlang was actually moved.
So he was encouraged to go home and ask his father for land, people, and cattle...
When Master Bai heard his son say that he wanted a hundred acres of land to play, he almost fell off his chair.
He widened his eyes and asked, "Can you say it again?"
Bai Erlang shrank his neck in cowardice, and immediately said: "Father, you just think I'm joking, I don't want the land anymore."
Master Bai's face became even more serious, Bai Erlang was about to cry in fright, and he resolutely betrayed his friend, "It's all Bai Shan and Zhou Man said, they want me to come back and ask Dad for a place to play."
Who knew that Master Bai's complexion relaxed, he softened a little, and asked, "Why do they want the land? No, what are you doing with the land?"
"Grow it." Bai Erlang was still very guilty.
"What to plant, how to plant it? Why do you want our land?" Master Bai asked three questions in a row, but Bai Erlang didn't answer any of them.
No, he can answer the third one, because both of them don't want to drink the Northwest after failure, so they want our land.
But Bai Erlang wouldn't be that stupid, of course he wouldn't say that.
Seeing his stupid son bowing his head and looking like he didn't know anything, Master Bai didn't get angry. He endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back, so he just yelled at him, "You don't know anything, what are you playing?"
He hates iron and steel for teaching him, "Since you want to play together, then you have to know what you play, what you play, and how to play. You don't even know the most basic things, how do you play? "
Bai Erlang shrank his neck and asked in a low voice, "Dad, did you agree?"
"I didn't agree!" Master Bai said after luck: "To convince me, it's not just a joke. You have to tell me the questions I asked."
Seeing his silly son still standing, Master Bai couldn't help but patted the table, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and ask your playmate!"
Bai Erlang turned around and went out, wanting to find his friends to play with, but he understood what his father meant when he walked out the door, pouted angrily, and finally went to the next door to find Bai Shanbao and Man Bao.
The two are reading a book.
Of course, what I read was the agricultural book brought by Man Bao. As for Bai Erlang's martial arts miscellaneous book, Mr. Zhuang confiscated it.
Bai Shanbao has always been a fast reader, and he is not very interested in agricultural books. In addition, this is an agricultural book written in vernacular, which is easy to understand, so he flips through it very quickly.
But Man Bao was very curious, so he read slowly. When two people read a book, one turned his head to read the content behind, and the other turned his head to read from the beginning.
When Bai Erlang came over coyly, not only Man Bao had read the rest of the content, but Bai Shanbao had read the book once.
Then the two looked at the unhappy Bai Erlang and asked, "Did you get scolded by Uncle Bai?"
"Knowing that you still let me go!"
Man Bao sighed: "This is the price of growth."
Bai Shanbao said: "There is no way you don't get scolded for doing things, you just say that Tang Bo agreed?"
"No," Bai Erlang said: "My father asked you, what and how do you plan to grow?"
Bai Erlang tilted his head and thought for a while, then continued: "Also, why do you want my land?"
The two looked at him as mentally retarded, "Didn't I tell you already?"
Bai Erlang was angrily, "Is there any reason to tell my father? Can't you find a nice excuse?"
Man Bao said: "It's wrong to lie to people."
Bai Shanbao: "And you also need Tang Boxin."
Bai Erlang stared at the two of them with puffy eyes, and said: "Anyway, I won't say the reason, you go if you have the ability."
The two continued to look at him with the same disdain, and one said: "You are so stupid, who told you to say that? There are many excuses for the same excuse."
One said: "You should say this to your cousin. This is a joint decision after our discussion. Manbao's family does not have much land, and it is a bit stretched. My family's land is not here. After much deliberation, your family is the most suitable. Failure Yes, your family can afford this loss, and if you succeed, your family will not only increase food and money, but other farms will be able to do the same in the future, and your family will be the most direct beneficiary."
Man Bao nodded again and again, "Replace 'your family' with 'our family', you see, how nice this is."
Bai Shanbao encouraged him, "Would you like to talk to Tang Bo again?"
Bai Erlang was dumbfounded, then said in grief and indignation: "I won't go, you have to go by yourself!"
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao stared at him.
But Bai Erlang was obviously hit hard, and he was unwilling to go to his father again after saying anything. There was no other way, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao could only think of going to bed by themselves.
But if it were them, of course they couldn't just prepare a few words. The two of them spread out a large piece of paper and each took a pen to record, "Do you think the fattening formula written in the book is good?"
Man Bao: "It sounds pretty reliable."
"Then the land we want to come to can have two seasons a year, well, if the land is not strong enough, it can also be three seasons in two years."
Man Bao nodded, "If Uncle Bai agrees, then we have to change the plow tools. The book says it will save labor. My family can also do experiments on this."
Their family pulls plows. If the reformed plows are really labor-saving, big brother and the others can save a lot of effort.
Bai Shanbao nodded, "I need to hire a carpenter."
Man Bao touched the cloth bag he had put aside first, and said, "Carpenters are so expensive."
Unknowingly, Bai Erlang approached him, and couldn't help saying, "I'm rich!"
Bai Shanbao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much money do you have?"
Bai Erlang hesitated: "It's quite a lot. And my mother still has my New Year's money. If it's not enough, I'll ask her for it."
Man Bao said: "You need money to buy seeds, do you need money to hire people?"
"Let my father go out."
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao looked at him together, "Go and talk to your father."
Bai Erlang didn't refute this point, his father was very generous to him in terms of money, basically every time he asked for money, he got it.
Bai Erlang hadn't read that agricultural book, nor was he interested, but he was quite interested in what Bai Shanbao and Manbao planned, and he listened with great interest, so he naturally understood it.
They really planned to use this hundred acres of land to grow crops, and they didn't waste it at all.
This season's wheat, next year's rice and beans, etc...
Man Bao said that it is best to plant crops alternately. It is not possible to plant beans on the same field this year and then plant beans next year.
She said: "I never knew that once a piece of land is planted with beans, you can't grow beans anymore, you have to grow wheat."
