The Reborn Lady is Farming
Chapter 196: trade
After a long time, Liu Ting led someone to cover the rest of the thatched hut and covered it with thick thatch. Liu Yuan patted the dry and thick thatch and said to Mu Shi, "As long as it's not a heavy rainstorm, There will be no problem with this roof." He looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, wiped his sweat and sighed, "I would rather it rains heavily. Look, the river is about to dry up."
Mu Shi turned his head to look at the river on the side. The water level in the river has plummeted, exposing the stones in the river. Mu Shi was standing in the deepest part of the water, and the water did not reach his waist. The next foot deep water, and now the water in the river can no longer flow into the canal.
Now that the sun is shining, the wheat and rice are growing fast. In two days, we can irrigate and wait for the wheat and rice to fill.
With so many wheat fields, the river water is definitely not enough to irrigate, and competition for water is inevitable.
Mu Shi thought that he was going to leave the day after tomorrow, so he could not help frowning, and went back to discuss with his daughter, "Dad is leaving the day after tomorrow, why don't our family start to carry water and water it tonight."
"Aren't you waiting for the news from the military camp?" Mu Yangling said: "Didn't you say that the little general might open a reservoir to release water?"
"I have to grab it. I can protect you while my father is still at home. At night we will fill the rice fields with water first, and tomorrow we will water the wheat fields."
Mu Shi made up his mind, and Mu Yangling naturally listened to him.
At the same time, Qi Haoran was also talking to Fan Zijin about the watering, "This time the watering is a big deal. I think I will give the whole army three days off and let them go back."
Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and Qi Haoran sighed, "I can't do anything either, my eldest brother sent me a message, saying that only our side of the five battalions is in better condition, and the other battalions don't even produce much wheat ears. , let alone grouting, this year's grain and grass mainly come from me."
If Qi Xiuyuan were not his eldest brother, Qi Haoran would have to curse his mother, but he is his eldest brother, and his mother is his own mother. He came here mainly to help his eldest brother, so he can only bear the burden.
"The generals of the third and fourth battalions have come to borrow water again." Fan Zijin said.
Qi Haoran pouted and said, "Tell them to exchange weapons. I don't want more. I want a hundred long knives, a hundred long spears, and five horses, and I will give them all the water from the No. 1 Reservoir."
Fan Zijin asked, "Total?"
Qi Haoran looked at him with contempt, "How can it be combined, of course, each of them has their own. The No. 1 Reservoir is so big, I will exchange it for two hundred long knives. Two hundred long spears and ten horses are enough."
Fan Zijin patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, yes, since you feel that you are losing money, then I will give you the price. If you want to show up, you can raise this much, and they will definitely lower the price."
"Then I'll leave this to you." Qi Haoran gave up.
Fan Zijin turned his head and offered to pay for five hundred long knives, five hundred long spears, and ten horses each. The generals of the third and fourth battalions almost vomited blood.
The food and grass are not easy to get, and the weapons are also not easy to get. The generals give them a lot. In this regard, they are not as good as the first and second battalions. It was their turn, and there were only so many things in total, and Fan Zijin really dared to speak.
But they didn't have the confidence to turn around and leave.
Before the third and fourth camps, there were no water conservancy measures at all, and the land planting was not as good as the fifth camp. Now only half of the wheat heading in the wheat fields is pumped. ,
General went to them to scold them two days ago, saying that they were not even as good as Qi Haoran's finger.
Qi Haoran, a teenaged child, is prettier than them. Although the two of them are aggrieved, they have to admit it.
The water in the river is definitely not enough for irrigation, and only Qi Haoran has repaired the water conservancy in these eight villages. The two generals don't dare to neglect now.
In the end, after arduous negotiations between the two generals, the price was always reduced to 230 knives, 230 spears, and five horses per battalion.
The two battalions equally divided the water in Reservoir No. 1.
Fan Zijin felt blessed and said to Qi Haoran: "I think you can also use this to offset the food you owe the Sun family and Zhao family. Aren't they worried about running out of water? You just give up the water from the No. 2 Reservoir."
Qi Haoran frowned, "No, I have to guarantee my production first."
"You have so many soldiers, are you afraid you won't be able to grab the water? Pull people up to the Jialing water to dig a big hole, and then block the river downstream, won't the water be there?"
If Mu Yangling was here, he would have to scold Fan Zijin for being immoral.
Qi Haoran was also moved, then shook his head and said, "No, then Song Zhi had to eat me raw, and he was also causing trouble for the eldest brother. We don't do that immoral thing."
"Then you should wait until the autumn harvest to pay back the grain. Do you think you can still afford it? The big cousin wants so much grain and grass, so he has to hollow you out. What do you give back?"
Qi Haoran tugged at his hair, and finally said sarcastically: "Master will not pay it back this year, but will pay it back next year, what can they do?"
Fan Zijin: "..." It's so shameless, he is willing to bow down.
Qi Haoran made up his mind and gave all the soldiers a holiday that day. The No. 2 Reservoir was opened the next day. All the military households of the Fifth Battalion could go to the reservoir to fetch water for watering, and no fighting was allowed.
And that afternoon, Mu Shi had already picked up a bucket and followed his daughter and others to carry water into the paddy field.
The reservoir is a certain distance from their land. When there is still water in the river, no one goes to the reservoir. But on the third day, the water in the river is only turbid pit water, and half a bucket goes up. mud.
In order to fight for water, Mu Yangling and the others witnessed three **** fights. At this time, Mu Shi had been away for two days.
Ma Liu slumped on the ground and said, "Ah Ling, we have to go to the reservoir to fetch water."
Mu Yangling was using wooden boards to get the scooter around, when he heard the words: "Auntie, don't go to the reservoir, I will go to my cousin and the others, we will go together with my mother, you and my mother will go to the field. , I'll bring the water back for you to water in the ground."
"How about that? This trolley can hold nine buckets of water, and it takes several trips to go back and forth. Anyway, we still have buckets at home, so I'll just pick another load."
"No, the reservoir is very messy. If someone accidentally bumps you, what will our family do? You can honestly take my mother to the field, otherwise I will have to take the time to protect you."
Before my aunt could make up her mind, Liu Ting's voice sounded outside, "A Ling, are you okay?"
Liu Ting and Liu Yuan came with several cousins. Like Mu Yangling, they were all pushing scooters. When Mu Yangling saw that the cousins and aunts were also carrying buckets, he asked, "How do you watch? Aunt and they are going too?"
Liu Ting said with a smile: "Your cousin and aunt are amazing, but they are not worse than us. Let's go, while it's still early, there are not many people."
Mu Yangling waved goodbye to the family, pushed up the scooter and left, Ma Liu wanted to catch up, but Shu Wanniang held her and said, "Aunt, let's not make trouble, just stay as A Ling said. Wait on the ground."
Ma Liu glared at her, "You're so kind as a mother."
Shu Wanniang smiled and said, "Aren't you lenient? When A Ling was only four years old, he told me seriously that he should learn to weigh the interests and the interests. I have been used to it for so many years. If I wanted to benefit A Ling, she would stop me. I want to follow, but if it's harmful to her, even if someone forces me to follow with a knife, I can't go and cause her trouble."
