Chapter 987： Tasho

"Is there a farm in front of you?" The four little ones were lying by the car window and looked out with great interest. When they first got into the carriage in the morning, they were still a little sad. Cheng, looking at the green waters and green mountains outside, became happy again.

Mu Yangling glanced out of the car window, nodded and smiled: "Then there is a farm."

She pointed to the mountains outside and said with a smile: "Look, these mountains are also our family's."

The tiger head and the little lion gave a wow and praised: "Mother is really amazing!"

The second prince also looked at Mu Yangling with starry eyes, only Xiao An said suspiciously: "But my father said that the fourth aunt spent so much money to buy this mountain is a waste of money, there is no soup spring on it, and there is no precious thing, only trees. ."

Mu Yangling asked, "How do you know there is no soup spring above?"

"Huh? There is also a soup spring on it?" Xiao An also stared, "Fourth aunt is amazing."

Mu Yangling coughed lightly and said, "I don't know if there are soup springs above, but I feel that the two mountains that your fourth uncle bought have soup springs, and this one is connected to those two mountains, maybe there are also. Now the mountains are high and the forests are dense, I am not sure at the moment, but maybe I will know when it is developed in the future.”

Can she tell a few kids that she's excited to buy this mountain because it's cheap enough?

A mountain, connected to the ground below, costs more than 200 taels in total. Smaller ones can even be done with just over 100 taels of silver. When she gets excited, her mind gets dizzy, and she buys it with a wave of her hand. After finishing it, I was shocked to realize that this was not a previous life where land resources were scarce, but in the Daqi Dynasty, where there were fewer people and more land, and there were rows and rows of mountains outside the city of Guangzhou, no one would be tempted to buy it.

Because when the land is not enough, the yamen will directly distribute the mountains to the households. The farmers take the mountains and keep them up the mountains to cut firewood. The most reasonable application is to plant a few tea trees at the foot of the mountains and plant some vegetables to supplement their homes.

Mountains?

Unless you are someone like Mu Yangling who can afford a tenant from the beginning, how much mental and material resources does it take to get rid of the roots and weeds of a mountain?

Besides, the imperial court also stipulated clearly that mountains higher than a certain height were not allowed to open up wasteland, and even felling of firewood was required. When it comes to environmental protection, China in later generations cannot compare to the ancient imperial court.

Of course, this is also related to economic development. At that time, there were more people and less land. In a period of time, everything had to make way for the economy, and the environmental protection was naturally not as good as it is now.

That's why Fan Zijin said that she wasted money and bought useless mountains. Except for two or three low hills that can be reclaimed, the other hills cannot be reclaimed, unless there is warm soup or beautiful and delicate ones on them, which can be used to build villas. The value of another courtyard, otherwise she would be completely meaningless if she got this mountain.

Of course, the royal mansion of Rongjun County is very powerful. If the mountains that do not meet the regulations are developed in violation of environmental protection laws, the local yamen will not dare to hold the mansion accountable, but the key is what are they going to do?

To buy a mountain for 200 taels, then spend another 1,000 taels to open up wasteland, and then use the mountain to plant fruit trees that are not profitable?

Is she crazy or crazy?

For the same price, she can buy more than 300 mu of land that has been reclaimed in the Northland.

So she wanted to see which goddess suggested her to go crazy. She remembered that the two village heads she chose were honest and steady old farmers with more than 30 years of farming experience. people.

The carriage stopped at the first farm. Zhuangtou Ma Dafu brought the tenants to wait at Zhuangkou early in the morning. When he saw the carriage coming, he ran up to meet him.

Mu Yangling lifted the curtain, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile, "It's time to work everyone, you don't have to wait here, you can do whatever you need to do, Ma Zhuangtou, you follow me up the mountain, I have something to ask you. "

The Tangquan Courtyard is just above the first Grange. The Grange is its first defense. It was suggested by Qi Haoran at the beginning. There are many pirates in Guangdong, and it is not a bad thing to have more defense.

Ma Dafu repeatedly said yes, and was about to wave for everyone to leave when his second son Ma Xiang ran up, "Father, let me go with you."

Ma Dafu was embarrassed, "The princess didn't call you."

Ma Xiang smiled, passed his father, and took the initiative to come forward to talk to the people in the carriage, Xiaoting sat on the horse and frowned, stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you, don't hurry back, you are shocked by the princess' carriage. Can you afford it?"

Ma Xiang bent over and said respectfully, "The youngest is the second son of Ma Zhuangtou. Because my father is clumsy, the youngest wants to go to the princess with him to answer."

Xiao Ting glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "Your father is the one chosen by the princess, and he is the most honest and reliable. I don't know if he is not eloquent, but you are clever, and this is the first time I hear it when I grow up. A son's speech of being a father is clumsy."

Xiaoting snorted coldly: "Without the princess's orders, no one is allowed to step forward indiscriminately. No one can afford to disturb the princess' car." With a big wave of his hand, the two servants stepped forward and pulled Ma Xiang away. The carriage went straight to the village.

Ma Dafu blushed, couldn't help but patted his son lightly, and said angrily, "You melon child, why are you so hearty."

"Ma Zhuangtou, hurry up!" A carriage specially designed to sit down stopped and shouted at Ma Dafu. Ma Dafu hurriedly left his son and climbed into the carriage, waved him vigorously, and told him to go home quickly .

Ma Xiang looked at the carriage in front of him uncertainly. Their voices were so loud just now. He didn't believe that the people in the carriage couldn't hear them. The princess didn't make a sound. Obviously, he didn't want to see him. plan, how to stretch their ambitions?

There was another steward in the other courtyard on the mountain and his servants to manage it. When he received a letter from the palace, he took the servants to clean the room early.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the other courtyard, the four children jumped out of the carriage, and the three children who had been here several times expressed that they would take Qi Wensu, who was here for the first time, to hunt rabbits.

Seeing that they couldn't sit still for a quarter of an hour, Mu Yangling didn't want them to rest, so he let them pour a bowl of boiled water, and let them run out with small bows and arrows on their backs. The guards followed them and walked for a while. most of them.

Mu Yangling turned his head and glanced at Ma Dafu, and said to the steward Wang of the other courtyard: "You come with me."

Steward Wang quickly followed.

Mu Yangling asked, "How much do you know about the Shanxia Grange?"

The steward Wang said thoughtfully: "Although the niece does not allow the servants to interfere in the affairs of the farmland under the mountain, but because the other courtyard is close to the farmhouse, some ordinary servants still know about it."

"Who was that who brought up the mountain with the two Zhuangtou?"

Steward Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and said hurriedly, "This servant knows that it was suggested by Ma Dafu's second son."
