Now Li Miao can only stay away from the house. What he sees along the way is abnormal prosperity. On the one hand, he spends a lot of time and alcohol, treating money like dirt, while on the other hand, he is as skinny as firewood, selling his children and daughters. You must know that Jinling was the most prosperous place in the Zheng Dynasty. It seems that the people in this world are having a hard time! Li Miao was no longer interested in sightseeing, so he threw out a few pieces of broken silver and turned around to leave.

Li Miao felt that he should do something for the working people in this world. Once he wins the election and returns to his hometown to get married, he will go to the capital. The people in the north should have more hardship than the people in the south. If he wins the election, the inner space should be expanded to more than 3,000 acres. By then, the space will be used to improve and adapt to the conditions in the north. High yielding crops.

So he started looking for the seeds he needed at the dock. Sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes. After buying the seeds, place them in the dock warehouse, and then quietly put them into the inner space to prepare for the upcoming inner space expansion. His current inner space includes 400 acres of spices, more than 200 acres of tea, and 160 acres of wheat and rice. Wheat can also be sown in the north. Now, at the rate of growth in the inner space, he doesn't want to sow any more spices and tea leaves.

One to two million silver a year for spices and tea is enough. Use the extra space to grow food. as a seed base. Contribute to the poor people in this world. He attained enlightenment in Maoshan, and Maoshan is his blessed land, so planting Maoshan tea now is also a way to repay the karma and spread the reputation of Maoshan tea. Besides, he can also make some money. When he becomes a Jinshi, the food in the inner space will be enough. Plant more, when the time comes. He gradually promoted high-quality seeds and was able to save many people's lives. And luck is also a lot, killing two birds with one stone.

This year's summer harvest at home has resulted in a bumper harvest of wheat, with a yield of 500 kilograms per mu. Although the yield is not as high as that of the inner space, it has increased a lot compared to the original yield of three hundred pounds per mu. Therefore, the whole village planted his rice seeds during the summer harvest. Li Miao is also very confident that within the space The yield per mu reached one thousand kilograms. It would be good if the output in the village could reach 700 to 800 kilograms. Right now, we are only trying to grow it at home and in the village, so we haven’t reaped any obvious luck yet. With the promotion. He will gain more and more luck, after all, this is what is beneficial to people's livelihood.

At present, Li Miaofan is in the family that sells his sons and daughters. The whole family will buy it. He believes that the structure of the family unit is the most stable, and they care about each other. He believes that it will not be long before these slaves can return home, because he will treat them well. When he came to this world, strictly speaking, he had not taken any slaves. There used to be only three long-term workers in the family, but now they cannot be considered slaves. They are all from the same clan and village, so how can they be used as slaves?

The slaves he buys now will be the first batch of slaves of the Li Miao family. Basically all will be placed at home. The sources of slaves include official slaves purchased from the government. Most of them come from official families and are well-educated and well-educated. They are at their most depressed at this time. There are also common people who cut grass and sell it on the street, when he takes a fancy to it. I will buy their entire family, and the family is truly grateful.

When he makes a purchase, he has one principle in mind: he buys a whole house, and the family must be sentimental, otherwise he won't even take a look at it. He is not here to do good deeds. Besides, he is still just a scholar with limited abilities.

Among them, he also bought a family of slaves from the government who had been neglected for more than a year. The head of the family is Wang Yonggui, a Shaoxing master, with a concubine and a married son, who is also in his thirties. His son Wang Daoqi has a wife, a concubine, a son and two daughters.

Wang Yonggui, in his fifties, has a shrewd appearance and was originally a scholar. His son Wang Daoqi also works as a shopkeeper for his boss. Wang Yonggui's house was confiscated and fined for selling because of his consecutive crimes. His last owner was a fellow magistrate from Wuxi Prefecture. If there is just such a family and they are not sold separately, who will buy it? No one will buy it in ten years, let alone one year. Fortunately, Wang Yonggui managed the guards with his private treasure and finally survived until now. Now we can only count one day as two and a half days. It seems that it can't be delayed for long.

Wang Yonggui saw Li Miao buying slaves. How could the shrewd man give up the rare opportunity in front of him, so he recommended himself, "Sir, I used to be a scholar. I have been a lawyer for more than ten years, and I have a poor reputation. I have been used by two proprietors, nearly two times before and after. In ten years, I have become proficient in both officialdom and the laws of this dynasty. You bought me, and of course my family members. Oh, by the way, my son has been the tea shop owner in Jinling City for nearly ten years. ,besides......".

Anyway, he is just a flower, and so are his whole family. Li Miao himself also needs a master. After all, he only has the reputation of being a scholar. He can't hire a master. Masters usually have at least the title of scholar. Shaoxing master is still very famous.
