Xu He saw how enthusiastic everyone was, so he expressed the idea he had thought of before.
When Old Zheng heard this, he hesitated and said: "This method is good, but there are a few points that make the old man a little worried!"
Xu He said quickly: "Uncle Zheng, tell me, I'm just thinking about it myself, and I'm just going to discuss it with you guys!"
Lao Zheng nodded and said: "Sir, the fields in these fields are all reeds, and reeds are the treasures of our cooks! If there are no reeds, how will we make salt in the future?"
Xu He nodded and said: "Uncle Zheng, have you forgotten that as I said before, boiling salt is not as good as drying it? With the salt-drying method, we no longer need so many reeds!"
Lao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, but if it rains and the court is busy urging classes, boiling salt is still indispensable!"
Xu He nodded, and then said to everyone: "Things like reeds can survive in coastal areas where the water quality is very salty. In this case, it is a bit wasteful to grow salt on the beach with very low salt content."
"After we use the sun-salting method, the reeds used to boil the salt are just for emergencies. If this is the case, why do we still follow the old practice of setting up a beach to plant reeds?"
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the wasteland not far away and said: "We can completely divert water to these wastelands and plant reeds. As for the beaches with slightly lower salt content, cotton can be planted in the early stage, and water can be diverted to wash the fields during leisure time to silt out the wasteland. Cover the fields and you’ll be able to plant crops in a few years!”
"and!"
Xu He added another plan he had discussed with Brother Xu Song!
"Furthermore, in the future, whatever is produced in these Tandang-renovated fields will still be produced in accordance with the previous agreement for ten years, and you can take 50% of it, whether it is grain or cotton!"
"Wow..."
As soon as Xu He said these words, there was a lot of discussion around him.
The current situation is that salt households have no food.
If you want to survive, you have to rely on food relief from the court.
But now the court has not allocated food to the county.
In a few days, the cooks who are still alive and kicking will be dying of hunger.
But now there is another way out.
It was the plan brought by Xu He.
They took advantage of the fact that the people from the Salt Division were not in place yet, so they could freely enter and leave the salt field, and they could survive the disaster by exchanging work for food.
During this period, the Xu family not only provided food, but also received 50% of the harvest of these improved fields for ten years.
What does this field produce?
Cotton and grain are what the cooks need to buy from merchants at high prices.
With the 50% income in the past ten years, it cannot be said that it will make everyone rich, but at least it can improve the lives of many people.
Old Zheng looked towards the elderly people around him who usually discussed matters.
I saw them all nodding towards him.
He then looked at Wang Zhuer, the most prestigious among the young people.
Wang Zhuer blushed and said, "Uncle, I listen to you old man!"
Everyone around them laughed kindly.
During the laughter, Wang Zhu'er blushed and stared, "What are you doing? You were clamoring just now to escape, and I wasn't the only one who said that!"
After he finished speaking, a female voice in the crowd joked: "Wang Zhu'er, you are the one who screams the loudest, you have to apologize to Mr. Xu!"
"Yes!" The women around Juan'er all laughed and agreed.
Wang Zhuer was attacked by a group of young wives and big girls, and he felt ashamed.
But as a Zaoding man, if you are wrong, you are wrong.
I saw him squirming a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and came to Xu He's side and said: "Mr. Xu, Zhu'er offends you every time. You sir, please forgive me once more. If anyone says bad things about you next time, I, Wang Zhu, will I was the first one to refuse!"
Hearing this, Xu He smiled and held his arm and said: "As I said, I, Xu He, am a tea maker. How can I not live with my family without a few words? The past is over. Brother Zhu'er, in the future you will not only be Ding Ze’s brother is also my Xu He’s brother!”
Wang Zhuer's face turned red and he nodded with excitement.
Ding Ze laughed from the side and said: "You Wang Zhuer, your brain is impulsive! In the future, before others speak, can you stop and think about how stupid you are before you object?"
When Wang Zhuer said this, he laughed stupidly.
His naivety made the women over there laugh again.
Now that the plan has been finalized, Xu He turned around and asked Wu Decao to rush to Caijiazhuang to invite Xu Dai and others.
In the afternoon, Xu Dai and other landlords from the Xu family came to Kuancha in various cars.
When Xu Dai first arrived, he was worried that the people who made tea would care about him about what happened last time.
Unexpectedly, everyone was extremely enthusiastic about the Xu family. When they saw the crowd, they flocked to Ambassador Dou Ma Tong's house in the front yard.
After a few months, Xu Dai once again sat at the head seat of Doumatong's house, but he felt as if he was in another world.
The people here are no longer the high-ranking salt-headed salt tyrants, but a group of lame cooks who he usually doesn't look down on.
When Xu He saw everyone sitting down, he clearly stated the conditions of both parties on the table in front of each other.
Although everyone in the Xu family has spent money on food and will have to deliver half of the harvest in the next ten years, they have turned useless beaches into prime paddy fields. This kind of good thing that will benefit their children and grandchildren is naturally something they are willing to do.
They are not short of money or food, but being able to turn money and food into an inheritance for their children and grandchildren is what they care about.
Everyone here in Tuancha is short of food, but their main business is drying salt.
Before the Salt Department officials were dispatched, they were willing to take this opportunity to fill their stomachs and survive the disaster years, and to get some cotton and grain for the next ten years. Naturally, they were willing to do so.
In this way, the two sides hit it off.
Xu Dai did his duty and set an example. He first set aside the beach where the bulk of the people lived, and let Kuan Chachang go and do it first.
When the other Xu family members saw this, they couldn't help but feel excited.
Xu Cang, who had followed, showed off his seniority again and sneered: "Da Zong is really smart. He is the first to do good things. What about other places? What should we do?"
Xu He smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, it's not us, we don't include you! You should always go back to Caijiazhuang to guard, don't let others steal your little food!"
Xu Cang was furious and glared at Xu Dai: "Look, look, the younger generation is disrespectful to the elders, do you, the whole clan, not care about it?"
Xu Dai rolled his eyes at him, pretending he didn't hear anything.
As for the other Xu family members, they had already gathered around Xu He and began to inquire about everything he said.
"Brother He, where are the people in Liangduo? My fields are all near Liangduo. If they run away, what will happen to my fields?"
"Yes, my home is near Anfengchang!"
"Hey, how about, Second Master, give us some of your large share!"
"Yeah, we can't let our trip go in vain!"
Xu Cang sneered: "You might as well beg the other three people to beg him! Humph!"
Xu He looked at the old thief, turned around and smiled at everyone: "Uncles, please be patient. Don't worry, if nothing happens, the people from the other three scenes will be back soon!"
"oh?"
"Is this true?"
At this moment, Wang Zhuer suddenly ran in from outside the door, panting: "Brother He, Uncle Zheng, Hou Si and others were driven back by the officers and soldiers before they reached the boundary of Yancheng County. He brought several people and headed towards them. Come here!"
Hearing this, Xu He smiled and said to the Xu family around him: "Okay, your rightful master is coming soon!"
