Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

"Uncle, don't be too polite." Li Luo said with a smile, "I admire Si Nong very much, and agriculture is the foundation of the country, so I heard that Fu Qiang said that Uncle is the descendant of Si Nong, so I couldn't wait to come."

Uncle Fu had a very good impression of Li Luo, and he didn't look down on Li Luo because of his young age.Because what Li Luo said touched his heart. "Your Majesty is too much for the prize." He said modestly.

"Why didn't uncle go to test Sinong?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Kaosinong needs theoretical knowledge, but I can't write." Uncle Fu said.

Li Luo nodded: "Uncle, can we talk in private?"

"Of course, I wonder what the young master wants to talk about?"

Li Luo said: "Changcheng, you go and wait."

"Yes."

Beside Mian Mian, only Li Luo and Uncle Fu remained.Li Luo pointed to the cotton and said, "I see this flower is very beautiful. I wonder if uncle can find other ones?"

"I transplanted this flower from the mountain. There are still some flowers on the mountain. But there are not many flowers of this kind on the mountain. There are still a few flowers where I transplanted it. I don't know how much the Marquis wants." Uncle Fu asked.

"I want to hire Uncle Fu to be a farmer in my village." Li Luo changed the subject again, "The monthly money is a car of silver, ten catties of rice, two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes every quarter, and another at the end of the year. Give a bonus of five taels of silver."

When Uncle Fu heard this, he was taken aback. Just now in the carriage, Fu Qiang didn't say that there would be a bonus at the end of the year.

"Uncle, don't be surprised. This bonus is based on the condition of the planting. Are you confident?" Li Luo asked with a smile.

The smiling eyes of the little boy give people an impulse to muster up the courage to fight hard: "Yes." Whether it is for life or for his own hope, he has this confidence.

"I have 150 acres of fertile land, and I want to use it to grow fruits that can be eaten all year round. There is also an open space in my village, and I want to use it to grow this kind of flower." Li Luo said.

"Plant this kind of white tufted flower?" Uncle Fu wondered, this kind of flower is not pretty, so what's the use of planting it?Don't rich people like things differently?

"I have my own use. In terms of planting, I will not interfere with uncle's affairs, but when it comes to orders, what I give is absolute." Li Luo said, "Does uncle think there is any problem?"

"No." Uncle Fu has no objection to this point.Master and servant, what the master says, the servant will of course do. "Then the contract of sale?"

"I don't sign a contract of sale with uncle." Li Luodao, "Uncle's family are all good citizens. After signing the contract of sale, the status of the family members will be lower. I signed a five-year contract with uncle. , if the uncle feels that he doesn’t want to continue working with me, he can bring it up early, and I will let the uncle leave if I find the right man.”

so good?Uncle Fu's eyes lit up.Indeed, he did not want to sell himself.He also hoped that future descendants would be able to take the imperial examination. If they signed the contract of sale, the status of slaves would be lower than that of good citizens.

That day's lunch, Li Luo ate at Uncle Fu's house.Although they are all farm side dishes, the dishes are not rich, but the taste of the side dishes is quite good.After a good meal, Uncle Fu signed a five-year contract.Then Uncle Fu took Fu Qiang and a few boys to the mountain to look for cotton, while Li Luo and the others went back to Zhuangzi first.

When the sun went down, Uncle Fu and others came back.A total of eight cotton plants were found, plus the one originally at Uncle Fu's house, a total of nine cotton plants.

"Hurry up and plant." Li Luo said.The land in the Zhuangzi has been divided and the soil has been refurbished. "Uncle Fu, do you think it is possible to plant here?"

"This kind of white flower is actually very easy to grow, as long as the soil is slightly moist. Zhuangzi in the inner northern suburbs is sparsely populated, and it is close to mountains. There are many mountains nearby and a lot of fertile land, so this place is very suitable for planting white flowers. flowers." Uncle Fu continued, "Among the eight white tufted flowers, four grew together with my original one, and the other four were found when we went to the mountain later."

"The number of each plant is not very large." Li Luo watched them plant cotton in it. The area developed from the Zhuangzi was not small, about 200 square meters.There are still many places for planting flowers and plants in Zhuangzi, and Li Luo plans to cultivate them.

"Each plant has fifteen to twenty flowers." Uncle Fu said.

"After planting, pick off the white flowers on it." Li Luo wanted to calculate how much cotton these nine cotton trees could produce.

Although everyone didn't understand Li Luo's intentions, but

Still following his orders, he picked all the cotton.A total of 155 cottons were picked from nine cotton trees.But the cotton seeds inside have not been taken out yet.

"Let's take a look at the approximate weight of these 155."

Uncle Fu and Nanny Xin were quite accurate in their estimate. They looked at it, and Nanny Xin said, "It's about a catty and a half."

155 only a catty and a half?In other words, one is only 5 grams?

"Take these 155 out to dry for a while, then break off the white flocs on the top, and keep the seeds inside. The white flocs are dried and stored, waiting for my notice." Li Luo thought for a while, "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, temporarily Stay in the Zhuangzi to take care of this matter. After Madam Xin's daughter-in-law arrives, you hand over the matter to her, and then you go back to the manor. "

"Yes."

"Uncle Fu, tomorrow I will take you to see the 150 acres of fertile land. I will use the fertile land to grow fruits in four seasons. For example, sugarcane in January, pineapples in February, strawberries in March... April, Eat cherries in May, peaches in June, and watermelons in July..." Li Luo gave a simple example.

"Sugar cane and peaches are very easy to grow in this generation, and watermelons, strawberries and grapes are easy to grow, but cherries may be more difficult, and cherry trees are also very expensive." Uncle Fu said.

Cherries were eaten by wealthy families in ancient times.

"It's okay. I'll take you to see the farmland. You can plan the farmland when the time comes. We'll discuss it later."

"Yes."
