In the end, Lao Zhoutou agreed to give Manbao 20 acres of land in exchange for that piece of land, plus the 40 acres of mountain land under the name of Zhou Zhoulang, a total of 60 acres for Manbao.
It sounds like a lot, but everyone knows that koufentian is useless at all. Seeing that old Zhoutou repeatedly emphasized that their family had 60 mu of land, Zhou Dalang and his brothers despised Lao Zhoutou in their hearts, thinking that his father was very dishonest. But they dared not speak out.
Man Bao got the words from old Zhou Tou, and followed Bai Shanbao back to his house to discuss with Bai Shanbao after school the next day.
Hearing that Old Zhou's family was willing to give away 20 mu of fields and a mountain, Master Bai looked at her in astonishment.
The reason why their family can use the land for their children to play is because they have a lot of land, not to mention other places, only in Baimaguan Town, Master Bai's land is nearly ten hectares.
Old Zhou's family, well, it can't be said to be difficult, but it is definitely not rich.
Master Bai couldn't help sighing, their family really dotes on their children.
So he looked at Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "It's a good relationship. Your family contributes 60 mu, plus the agricultural books in your hand, Erlang's family contributes 100 mu, and Shanbao contributes manpower and material resources. How about dividing the proceeds into three shares?"
When Mrs. Liu said this, she looked at Master Bai.
Because it seems that he is the most disadvantaged.
Master Bai smiled and said, "I have no objection."
Of course he has no objection, this land was originally taken out for Erlang to play with, and his own children knew that Bai Shanbao and Man Bao were the last to worry about this land.
In particular, agricultural books are full of treasures.
Yes, the books of their two families have always been opened for the children to read. It is reasonable for them to read Manbao's books.
But outside of the three families, Master Bai has a deep understanding of how precious and unique knowledge is.
When he was young, he and Bai Qi went on study tours. Sometimes for a book, they begged their grandpa to tell their grandma. They tried their best to read it. In most cases, they are not even qualified to watch.
Not everyone is willing to take out their own book collection and share it with others.
Especially technical books that can be applied to practice.
Master Bai thought, it's good for them to have income, and it doesn't matter if they lose money. It's just the right to use a hundred acres of land for a few years. If they can teach their son better, it's worth the expense.
Master Bai watched with a smile as Bai Shanbao and Man Bao drew up the contract document together, and then asked his stupid son to sign it.
His stupid son didn't even look at it, he just picked up the pen and signed his name on it.
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao also wrote down their names.
Of course, the contract document was in triplicate, and Bai Shanbao was too lazy to copy it, so he shared the only one and said to the two friends: "You copy it yourself, and we will sign together after copying."
Bai Erlang has no problem, but Man Bao said: "I also wrote this contract just now, you have to help me write half of it."
"You write it down in one breath, just two pages."
"No," Man Bao said, "I have to do my homework. The time wasted today is much better. You have to write a page for me."
Bai Shanbao reluctantly agreed.
Bai Erlang at the side reacted in a daze, "I, I also have homework."
The two ignored him, and after he said it again, Man Bao encouraged him, "You can definitely do it, your family has a lot of oil lamps, and you can stay up late."
Master Bai: ... What should I do? At this moment, I really want my son to be tricked by these two outsiders. It's a contract document, so it's fine if you don't read it. It's so easy to copy it yourself, but you still push it out.
After the contract was signed, Master Bai smiled and said, "The one hundred mu of land given to you is all in the Daling area. There are many dry lands and few paddy fields, and there are many mountains and barren land, so this year only twenty acres of land have been planted. There are many acres of wheat, and the rest of the land is empty, do you want it now or after spring.”
Although Master Bai also planted winter wheat this season, not all the fields were planted. Basically, he only selected fields with thick soil and sufficient fertility.
This is especially true for the old Zhou family and the people in the village.
After all, they only regard this season's winter wheat as rations for the next April and May when the crops are lean and yellow, and they don't want to make money from it.
It costs a lot to grow wheat, okay? It costs twenty catties per mu.
The old Zhou's family only planted 20 mu of wheat, and basically only selected the fields near the village entrance and Dawan area with relatively thick soil and easy watering.
So the fields around Daling are also empty.
It can be said that besides Mr. Bai, no one grows winter wheat in the fields around Daling, because the land is very thin, so is there any place far away
It wasn't until her father led her to find someone to exchange land that Man Bao slowly understood Master Bai's scheming.
One hundred mu of land that is not very fertile and far away from the village, how about giving it to them to play with
Man Bao couldn't help but asked before changing to the proud old Zhou, "Father, if Master Bai gave us the one hundred acres of land in Dawan to play with, would you like to give us the twenty acres of land near Dawan?" Play for me?"
"I don't want to!" Old Zhou glanced at her and said, "Your father and I have been planting that land for more than twenty years, and the land is so fat, how can we play with it?"
"Oh." Sure enough, adults are treacherous, hum!
Lao Zhoutou chose more than six acres of thin land in other places, but it was closer to the village than Daling, and exchanged six acres of land with the people in the village along the land of Master Bai's house, which was enough for Manbao. ten acres.
In the village, it is a bit troublesome to sell Yongyetian, and you have to ask the yamen for permission to sell the paperwork, but it is much easier to change the land. , just record it.
Exchange thin land for thin land, of course, if you are willing to exchange fat land for thin land, there will be no objection.
It is also for this reason that land sales cannot be completely prohibited.
After changing the land, the three friends took the time to take a look at the land that belonged to them.
Zhou Zhoulang was in charge of leading them there, and when he arrived at the place, he pointed to the dense forest and said, "Here, that mountain is mine, but this mountain is less than 40 mu, so the wasteland around it is also mine."
The third child looked at the overgrown weeds and rocks at the foot of the mountain and asked curiously: "What can this land be used for?"
Zhou Zhoulang said solemnly: "It can be used to rest your feet. Daling is too far away from the village. Did you see that when you came here to plant things, you were tired and rested under the miscellaneous trees on my wasteland. You were hungry. Eating on big rocks in the wasteland."
Three children: ...
The trees are really complicated. Most of the trees at the foot of the mountain are shrubs, but they grow quite tall. The branches stretch out and cover some stones. After cleaning, everyone can sit under it, avoiding the sun and keeping it clean.
Man Bao nodded, "This place is good, we can find even stones when we do our homework."
Bai Erlang: "Hide and seek, others will definitely not find it."
Bai Shanbao: "If you raise a chicken in this kind of mountain, won't it turn into a pheasant and fly away?"
Zhou Zhoulang: ... Can these three children really farm the land
