Chapter 350 Agree
Manbao didn’t know, and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang knew even less.
Without even glancing at the agricultural book, Bai Erlang asked directly, "Is the person who wrote this book good at farming?"
"I don't know about that, but he must be very good at studying." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been admitted to graduate school.
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang had no objection to this. If you are not good at reading, you can't write a book.
Bai Shanbao was halfway through writing when he found more and more problems. He had no choice but to go back and take out the agricultural book to read it carefully. Alas, it seems that if he doesn't make a plan, he can't do it without studying seriously.
The three friends discussed it together. Although they had seen a lot, they had little experience in farming, so they had to stop planning many things halfway.
At the end of writing, Manbao said, "I have to go back and ask my eldest brother."
Bai Shanbao handed the white paper full of questions to Manbao and said, "You can go back."
Bai Erlang then realized that it was getting late and he hadn't gone to play with his friends today. He was shocked.
Mr. Bai was also shocked. The servant he sent to find his son was not near the school, nor did he find his son in the fields, but found him next door.
His stupid son actually changed his personality?
After asking again, Mr. Bai found out that they had been planning the farming next door the entire evening. Although Bai Erlang didn't understand many of the words, he participated in the whole process and finally had an idea of what to plant in the field.
I can also answer Mr. Bai’s questions.
Mr. Bai looked down at his son with a complicated look.
Bai Erlang scratched his head and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Bai retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing. Tomorrow after school, ask Shanbao and Manbao to come over. You don't have to make so many plans when talking to me. Just tell me what you're thinking."
Although one hundred acres of land is a lot, and the cost of both people and livestock seems high, these expenses are really nothing to Mr. Bai.
One hundred acres of land is not even enough to form a small farm.
However, he himself is struggling.
He wanted his two children to become noble scholars, not to farm. Why did the two children suddenly become interested in farming?
Especially his second child...
In fact, this is also one of the main reasons for his hesitation.
Shanbao is good at everything he does, even farming does not affect his studies, but his second child is different.
But let's think about it another way. Erlang is so naughty now that he needs to be supervised while studying every day. If he plays farming with Shanbao, he will become more stable and study harder...
It was with this idea in mind that Mr. Bai did not refuse them outright.
But deep down he was still a little undecided.
So after thinking about it for a night, Mr. Bai decided to go and talk to Liu.
He felt that farming should be left to the housekeepers and servants. As the owners of the land, they only needed to learn how to manage the land.
There is really no need for Shanbao to manage a farm himself. Shouldn't he focus on studying at this time?
He felt that he couldn't let Shanbao waste his talent just to make his son more mature. At worst, he could just keep his son under control and let him play with Shanbao more.
When Liu heard this, she asked, "How are they going to cultivate this land?"
Mr. Bai smiled bitterly. "I asked Erlang about this last night, and he suggested we plant wheat, beans, and rice, just like we do now. The only difference is that the three children want to plant three crops over two years, alternating between them."
He had also done this kind of thing of fully, even excessively, utilizing the soil's fertility, but in the end it all came to nothing because the harvest of an extra season was not as high as expected. After two or three years, the soil's fertility was over-consumed and the crops in the field were inferior to those in the same period.
Mr. Bai felt that it was enough to have some understanding of farming and there was really no need to do it himself.
Their families are not the kind of families that can make a living by relying on their children to work in the fields.
However, Mrs. Liu knew her grandson better. If it was just ordinary farming, he could just watch the villagers work. Why would he need to ask Mr. Bai for a piece of land to cultivate?
Obviously, he had different ideas that he wanted to be verified, but the people in the village couldn't do it.
Liu smiled at him and said, "When the children come back, we will ask them."
Bai Shanbao had no intention of hiding it from his family. When his grandmother asked, he immediately turned to look at Manbao.
Manbao took out a large piece of paper from the bookcase. On the paper were listed many items in rules and regulations, as well as a lot of questions, most of which had answers written below.
That was written by Manbao last night after he went home and asked his brothers.
When it comes to understanding farming, ten Mr. Bais are not as good as her brother.
Seeing the children so well prepared, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile. However, she only glanced at the words on the paper, then folded it up and handed it back to Manbao. She asked with a smile, "I don't need to read this. I just want to ask you, why do you want to farm? What's the difference between your farming and the farming of the people in the village?"
Bai Shanbao glanced at Manbao and said, "Manbao got a farming book that contains many new farming methods. If you follow them, you can greatly increase your yield. We want to give it a try."
"What do you want to do if you succeed?"
Bai Shanbao and his team immediately thought about this problem. He puffed out his chest and said, "Manbao's family will be able to harvest a lot more food and make a lot of money. In the future, we can eat as much as we want. The villagers will also benefit, and so will our family."
Liu nodded and asked, "And then?"
"Then Manbao and I will be very rich. We will go to Yizhou to play. Grandma, I heard that the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival in Yizhou are very lively. Mid-Autumn Festival only has three days off, which is inconvenient to go back and forth, but we can go during the Lantern Festival."
Bai Jilang: "And me!"
Liu laughed and said, "Then it will be the Lantern Festival next year, can you wait?"
Bai Shanbao and Manbao nodded, while Bai Erlang shook his head.
Mr. Bai glared at him from the side.
Bai Erlang nodded along with the two of them.
Liu smiled and said, "Well, go ahead and do it. If you lose, it's mine, and if you make a profit, it's yours."
She turned to Mr. Bai and said, "I will pay for the rent of the land used by the three children."
Mr. Bai smiled bitterly, "Aunt, aren't you slapping my nephew in the face? I didn't say they couldn't farm. I'm the one who paid for the 100 acres."
Liu nodded and didn't argue with him. She smiled and said, "Then I will provide the manpower and material resources they need."
Manbao looked up at Bai Erlang, then turned to look at Bai Shanbao, and subconsciously felt that she had not taken advantage of the situation well.
She hesitated and asked Koko in her heart, "Is this bad?"
Keke didn't answer. Lately, it had answered Manbao's personal questions less and less frequently. Manbao vaguely knew that it was probably because the forum was open and the main system was monitoring their subsystems more closely.
But Manbao and it have had a tacit understanding for many years. Although Koko did not answer, Manbao still felt its opinion.
So Manbao said, "I have to go back and ask my parents."
