Chapter 681 Jia Yanbing goes out
Jia Yanbing spread the map of Jinwu Town on the stone table in the yard, and Wan Laoer and Fubao both gathered around.
"Second brother, you see, most of these lands have been connected, and the wells that Fubao dug in the places he found are now producing water. I have to go out for a while tomorrow, so you can leave these things at home to Fubao. I will ask my wife to assist Fubao, and there should be no problem. And I think Banxia and Baizhi are also good girls."
Wan Laoer looked at the red part on the map, which represented their current land, and another part was marked with green origins, which represented wells. Wan Laoer roughly counted them and found that there were already twenty or thirty wells.
This is no small project.
"Mr. Jia, are you going out tomorrow to buy medicinal seeds?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen has given me the list. I plan to go out tomorrow to contact my friends at the border. They are all in the medicinal materials business. We may have to continue doing business with them in the future. This time, I am going to buy medicinal materials and pave the way for our medicinal materials sales in the future."
Wan Laoer didn't understand this and didn't express any opinion.
"Mr. Jia, I don't know much about business, but how much money do you need? Just tell me. Although we don't have a lot of money at home, it should be enough to deal with these."
"Second brother, this is what I want to tell you. Medicinal seeds are not as expensive as grain seeds. In addition to this arrangement, you need to prepare 5,000 taels of silver for me. I just don't know if you have that much money here?"
"Five thousand taels? That's not a small amount, but it should be enough if we add them together. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
After saying this, Wan Laoer went straight into the house.
Fubao ran over quickly.
"Dad, have you used all the money you have to rent the land? It shouldn't be enough, right? You can use the banknotes that big brother gave us first, and we can make up for it when we make money. Don't think of other things."
The money in Wan Laoer's hand was indeed not enough, so he had to find a way to make up for it.
"Will this work?" Wan Laoer didn't want to use that money.
Fu Bao said firmly: "Dad, it's okay. I know you don't want to touch the money, but money can only make money if it is used. If it is left there, it will be dead. Don't feel bad about it, Dad."
Wan Laoer felt a lot more relieved by what Fubao said.
"Okay, then Dad will use one thousand taels first. I still have four thousand taels of silver notes in my hand, and another thousand taels should be enough."
"Well, don't worry, Daddy. In two years, these five thousand taels of silver will surely increase tenfold."
"Ten times? So much?" Wan Laoer's eyes widened.
"Dad, those are medicinal herbs, not food. Besides, there is a severe shortage of medicinal herbs on the front line of Da Qi right now. We will be able to sell our herbs for a good price. And I don't think Mr. will only grow one kind of medicinal herb."
"But with so many medicinal herbs, can Old Chen manage them all by himself?" Wan Laoer was worried that if he couldn't harvest the seeds after planting, it would be a huge loss.
"Don't worry, Dad. Master has already made arrangements. The village heads have been promoted to managers by Master, and they will be paid one or two taels of silver per month. Master has also started selecting farmers who are suitable for growing medicinal herbs. Their wages will be twice as high as those of the uncles and aunts who tend to the crops. Medicinal herbs will be their lifeblood. If they want to live well, they will definitely do their best to tend to them. If there is any mistake in the management of medicinal herbs in this village, Master will ask them to compensate according to the price."
Wan Lao Er was very surprised. "How do you know everything? Why don't I know? Didn't you just find out that your husband wants to grow medicinal herbs?"
Fubao raised his little head proudly and said with a grin, "Because I'm smart."
Wan Lao Er's eyes flashed with a doting smile, and just as he was about to open his mouth to praise, he heard Fu Bao say: "I'm kidding, I've already asked the master, and he told me the detailed plan."
"No wonder the Jia family can become the leader of the four great families in Jiangnan. Mr. Jia is always cautious and cautious. We really wronged him."
Fu Bao smiled mysteriously and said, "Then Dad, guess whether Mr. Jia has any plan?"
Wan Lao Er was stunned at first, then he swallowed nervously and said, "Plot? What? Are you plotting for our family's recipe? And our money?"
Fu Bao curled his lips, "Dad, do you think that with Mr.'s ability, this amount of money can tempt him? He has seen mountains of gold and silver, and this little bit is not even a hair on his body. Okay, I'm just joking, but if Mr. needs our family's help in the future, Dad must not refuse."
"Of course. My father has seen all the help Mr. Jia has given our family. How could I refuse? What do you think your father is? I may be a peasant, but I am a peasant with a conscience."
Wan Laoer's words made Fubao giggle.
"Okay, Daddy, just give the money to the master. Just keep what we said today in your heart and don't let the master know."
"What did we talk about today? I forgot." Wan Laoer pretended to be stupid.
"Dad, your acting skills have improved."
Fubao ran away smiling.
Wan Laoer, however, changed his previous expression and frowned slightly. He is an adult, and although he is honest, he is not stupid.
He also took to heart what his daughter had just said to him.
He didn't believe that Jia Yanbing would help him unconditionally. As for what conditions he would put forward in the future, Wan Laoer should have an idea in his mind. It was nothing more than revenge.
But the Wan family doesn’t have this ability.
But now that things have come to this, let's talk about the future later. Even if Jia Yanbing can't touch the Prince of Li now and can't take revenge, the emperor will not let him go. After all, how can someone sleep peacefully beside his bed? Not to mention that this person is the Prince of Li.
Wan Laoer was not very worried.
Wan Laoer collected the silver and gave it to Jia Yanbing.
"Mr. Jia, here is a total of five thousand taels of silver. When will you be back from your trip this time?"
Wan Laoer was worried that Jia Yanbing would be gone for too long, and if something happened at home, they wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Don't worry, brother. I will be back within ten days. Otherwise, we will miss the planting season."
Only then did Wan Laoer feel relieved.
After Jia Yanbing left, Old Man Chen was not idle either. He asked Banxia to drive the carriage to take him and Fubao around all day long.
Old man Chen was holding a map given to him by Jia Yanbing.
"Grandpa Chen, are you looking for a good place to grow medicinal herbs?"
"Right, let's go take a look at the village over there."
Banxia drove the carriage to a village in a valley.
The village is surrounded by layers of land, like layers of stairs.
The map shows that all the land in this village has been rented to the Wan family.
Nowadays, you can’t see anyone working in the fields. In the past, some people would turn the soil and prepare fertilizer, but now people sit in groups of three or four at the doorstep to bask in the sun and chat about gossip. They are living a very comfortable life.
Old man Chen parked his carriage at the entrance of the village. When the villagers saw Fubao, they all came up to greet him.
