Chapter 251 new mode
Potatoes are still in short supply now, and I am very happy to be assigned to a potato-growing village
Zhao Liya convened a meeting of village chiefs and patriarchs to discuss how much land each village could plant in the first year, not only to build workshops, but also to prepare seeds.
For potatoes, she planted 2,000 acres in the second half of the year, which is definitely enough to supply, but not necessarily sugarcane, so she has to go to Suixi County to make reservations in advance.
In addition to this, it is necessary to build a site and build a workshop, and strive to radiate the villages in the most convenient way.
Zhao Liya suggested that all villages should not plant too much in the first year, after all, they still need to learn a lot, and the base fertilizer cannot keep up.
So are there any big families who simply set up a pig farm or something?
This is really exciting. After all, many people have visited the Zhao family's pig farm. They have raised a hundred pigs, and they are all in good condition. It makes people greedy.
I heard that next year it will expand and raise several hundred heads.
Try it yourself, isn’t it good?
If you don’t have a pig farm, the pigpen at home will be more diligent in laying grass and storing more fat, and then mixing some plant ash can also be used as fertilizer.
Each family planted them scatteredly. It would be considered good if a family could plant three to five mu, seven or eight mu, and about ten mu more. In this way, fertilizer is also considered acceptable.
The villages are happily going back to count how many people in each village have joined.
For the villages, Zhao Liya did not plan to invest in land and hire people, but to adopt a more cooperative model.
Provide technical guidance, be responsible for acquisition, and everyone will plant and manage by themselves.
Of course, everything is in contract.
Lin Mo said with a smile to Zhao Liya, for the villagers, whether the contract is not a contract, it is actually not very useful. All the people in the house broke the contract, even if they sued the government, the government couldn't control it.
So, it is also very important to make good friends with the villages on a daily basis. Most people in this area still have to face.
Usually they don’t go back on things that are agreed upon, and they especially value favors. If there is a fetter of favors, even if the sugarcane in the contract costs a penny and a catty, and others pay three pennies and two catties, they may not be able to sell it.
Zhao Liya nodded, which reminded her.
This matter, it is necessary to be on guard.
The folk customs in this place are like this, and it is also because of this that the county magistrate is helpless, but at the same time, it is hard to say when it will be unfavorable to them.
Lin Mo's words, Zhao Liya believed half and didn't believe half.
Big guys work **** farming, and of course they want higher prices when they produce. I'm afraid not too many can stick to the bottom line. No matter how useful human favors are, they are not as good as money.
If it is Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai, Zhao Liya is sure that favors can be used, but she can't guarantee Baijia Village, and the other villages are even more so.
So, we have to think of ways to prevent future troubles as much as possible.
Human relations must be maintained, and the spirit of the contract must be instilled in daily life. If the contract is violated, there must be a penalty clause, especially with the villages.
Even if there is nothing else to be fined, it is always okay not to accept goods from this family in the future, right?
What's more, find three or four strong local merchants and squires to join together, the deterrent effect will be greater, and there will be fewer people who dare to make troubles.
When counting the number of people in each village, the Zhao family let out the news to find a partner.
Mao Dexing was not in the county at this time, felt ashamed, and went to the provincial capital to be free and easy, and he didn't know when he would come back.
Of course, he still won't make things easy for the Zhao family! Whenever there is an opportunity, he will never let them go!
This time, he was not prepared enough, and he underestimated their ability to confuse those troublemakers. In the future, he will never do it again.
For more than a year, the Zhao family has been doing well with the back of the plantation. I don’t know how many people envy it, but no one dares to provoke big villages like Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai. They are greedy, but they dare not move.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about doing it myself, but it’s the same with everything, which is easier said than done. If you really want to start from scratch, not to mention the cost of money, you have to keep up with your energy.
And more importantly, they don't understand the craft of squeezing sugar. If they want to learn from the sugar family in Suixi County, who will teach them?
If you teach others, won't it affect your own business?
It is also because of this that although the area in this area is suitable for sugarcane growth, the annual sugar production is not high.
Zhao Liya actually wants to cooperate to open sugar cane plantations and build sugar workshops?
As soon as the news spread, many big families inside and outside the county couldn't help being tempted.
This is a rare good time!
Some people thought about it again, afraid that Mao Dexing would make trouble, so they hesitated. Many people also went to visit Yancun by car.
Reception is all handled by Zhao Liya to Uncle Hu and Xiao Liang.
Anyway, Uncle Hu is the most experienced, or in other words, he is overqualified.
In short, the one selected by Uncle Hu in the end must be the most suitable family for cooperation.
Zhou Hansheng, who hadn’t seen him for a long time, finally came to Yancun again when the lychees were ripe.
This time it was finally not a mystery. After three o'clock in the afternoon, not long after Zhao Liya and the others came back from Baijia Village, Zhou Hansheng, seven or eight masters and servants arrived.
Another group went directly to Zhong Jing.
As soon as they came, Zhao's house became more lively again. Everyone was very happy, sitting under the tree, chatting and laughing. Zhaonan and the others are sweet-talking, even Widow Qu, Aunt Li Shiyi, Deng Shi, etc. are very fond of them. When they talk about the outside world, they listen with gusto.
Of course, the lychees and mangoes at home are also sweet and delicious, but they are blessed.
Zhao Liya was also very happy, and was busy cooking dinner with Shu Yan and Qu Yutao early on.
When they came, they bought a lot of meat. There were fresh peppers, tomatoes, beans, eggplants, loofahs, leeks, lettuce, and fresh water in the vegetable garden. They also killed two chickens and two ducks, enough to make two big meats neatly. Good food on the table.
When the three children came back from school, they were even happier to see Zhou Hansheng.
Zhou Nian couldn't run as fast as Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin, the younger sister and brother giggled and threw themselves into Zhou Hansheng's arms, Zhou Nian was still a bit behind the boss.
Zhou Hansheng saw that his short legs ran too fast and even fell, his heart tightened. Who would have thought that a child could continue to run after getting up like a normal person.
The ground is covered with mud, and the fall is not heavy.
Zhou Hansheng was very happy, the child seemed to be all right!
As soon as the children came back, the house became more lively.
It was not until the next day that Zhao Liya had the opportunity to speak with Zhou Hansheng alone.
Said it was an opportunity, but it was actually an opportunity that Zhou Hansheng forcibly snatched.
He said that he had something important to tell Zhao Liya, and he invited the person to speak alone in a grand manner.
