Chapter 1017 No Need to Watch More
"Why wait until next year? Why can Yunzhou do it this year?"
"Because Yunzhou had already planted crops last year, the harvest is foreseeable. But this piece of land is not ready yet. It was just renovated last year, and I don't know how the harvest will be. If I rent it to you, you will have countless grains in the autumn. Can you bear the consequences?"
Everyone was silent, there was really no other way.
She looked at these people and continued, "So don't worry, everyone. This land is so big, you will definitely rent it in the future. You can rent as many acres as you want, provided that you can plant it and foresee the harvest. Otherwise, if you rent it now and can't harvest food from the land, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
Hu Zi said, "Listen carefully, everyone. Our boss is doing this for your own good. She herself has taken the risk of countless grains to ensure that you can have a harvest. You should be grateful. In this world, I believe that except for your parents and family, no one will treat you as well as she does and care about you! Did you hear clearly?"
"I heard it clearly. Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Voices of thanks came one after another, and finally everyone thanked him in unison.
Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay, let's get to work. As long as we do a good job this year, we will naturally have land to rent next year."
Everybody went to work happily.
After getting Zhou Guo's confirmation, they were no longer afraid. They planned that after renting the land and adding the money allocated to them by the government, their lives would gradually get better.
Zhou Guo walked around several plots of land and then asked people to start breeding.
Everything is ready, just get started.
Wheat is planted before rice, and wheat seeds are grown first.
The paddy fields are also being cultivated.
In addition to these, the smallest piece of salty and bitter land has begun to ferment into fertilizer, and it supports almost one-third of the people in Chengding. The vehicles coming and going are almost flattening the land.
The old man said, "I think we should just use this piece of land for composting and growing grass. It will be very messy if we get busy. How can we grow good crops on the land?"
Zhou Guo said, "It's well planted. Look at the land in Song County. Isn't it big enough? We still need to make fertilizer. There are so many vehicles coming and going every day. We can handle it. Everyone does their job and there won't be any big mistakes. There is enough wheat straw and rice stalks for fodder. It would be a pity to leave the land unplanted. We can grow so much food every year."
She is still a farmer at heart and feels it is a pity to leave the land uncultivated and a waste of resources.
The old man shook his head. "You have so much land, but there are only a few people in your family to feed. What do you need so much food for?"
Zhou Guo was silent for a while and then said, "Master, this time when we went south, we encountered very few refugees on the road, but similarly, there were few living people in various places, and most of them died on the way to escape.
The survivors were given land, but they still had to live a hard life. The general had no money and could not help so many people, so they had to find a way out on their own. In other places where there was still war, the people would only live a harder life.
I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to help as many people as possible, so that they won't go hungry, and they can have a meal every day with their families. These grains are not valuable in our hands, but many places in the south are in ruins, and transporting a handful of grain here may save a family's life."
When she was fleeing, those horrific scenes had lingered in her mind day and night.
It is not uncommon to see people exchanging their own children for cannibalism. The big-eyed, skinny child nestled obediently in the arms of his family, unaware of what was waiting for him ahead.
People will do anything to get a bite to eat.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. They run so fast that I wonder how those who fall behind can survive without even grass to eat.
So she later started selling fertilizer, started growing crops, and started to get busy. As she fed more and more people and more and more people had enough to eat, her heart became more and more peaceful and fulfilled.
She gained a lot in the process, including money, respect, fame, profit, and peace of mind.
The old man remained silent, and recalled the scenes on the road to escape. Unfortunately, he was just an old man and could not care about so many things and could not save the people in this world.
On the contrary, his little apprentice is amazing. Over the years, he has become more and more like what they said.
It's not that he is not proud of her. He thinks that if his ancestors in the underworld knew that he had accepted such a disciple, they would definitely be very proud.
……
Cheng Ding decided to start breeding on several pieces of salty and bitter land. She determined the number of acres to be planted with several village heads, explained what to do next, and then left.
She doesn't need to keep an eye on this place. These village heads followed the entire process from spring plowing to autumn harvest in Yunzhou last year, and they know what to do.
There is no need for her to keep an eye on things like composting.
So he took Hu Zi and others to Chengding.
She needed to visit a few shops and check the account books.
Seeing her coming and going in a hurry, the old man sighed and said, "Now it's good. You don't need to watch over anything. In a few years, you won't need to watch over the shop either. You can hide at home, look at the account books, meet people, and the money will come in every year."
It turns out that to do big things, you still have to know how to use talented people. In the past few years, he saw her working so hard and busy until midnight every day. Now she can leave after just one glance. He even thinks that this glance is redundant and there is no need for her to come at all. Everyone is doing a good job.
Zhou Guo said, "You think it's easy. I don't need to worry about small things, and I don't need to worry about many big things. But with such a big business, there must be a lot of things to do every day. Even if they deal with many things, there are only one or two left. They will all be sent to me. One or two here, one or two there, and I will be busy enough in a day."
How can I have free time? It's just that compared to before, I don't have to run on the front line all day long.
Moreover, she now has to speed up the expansion of her business to the south. She has to go there once a year. It is estimated that most of her time in the next one or two years will be spent on the road.
And it’s only going to be busier than ever.
In other words, the industries in the North are now on the right track and she doesn't need to worry too much.
The old man said, "That's better than previous years. You rarely go home all year round. Now that you can come home to live, your mother must be so happy."
Everyone is happy.
Zhou Guo just smiled and said nothing. She didn't tell the old man her plan, and the old man still doesn't know about it.
The first place she went to was Chengding’s grain shop, where she mainly looked at the grain varieties.
After all, it has been two years since they started planting crops. Many relatives and friends in the village, or even those from the same village, will change their crops themselves. This year, no one has been buying crops for more than two years.
This is a good thing, as it means that the villages below have enough grain seeds. After this year, by the beginning of next spring, it is estimated that even fewer people will buy grain seeds.
These surplus grain seeds were transported to the south.
I just hope that those who have more money can help so that these crops can take root in the south.
