Chapter 36 (1/2)

“Of course it’s true, so we should try to save money, and then we can hire people to dig our two mu of wasteland into a pond, and buy more fry to put in, there will be endless fish to sell in the future.”

Finally his eyes stayed on the face of big bun, Ling Jingxuan stretched out a hand to rub his head tenderly, so the son should have some confidence now?

“Ah? It costs money again?”

Hearing that they had to spend money to hire labors, big bun instantly frowned, Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help laughing. Two mu big fish pond. You can’t let him dig it himself, right?

“If you really can raise them, it wouldn’t be a thing to hire some labors to dig the pond. Xiaowen, you can’t save this money.”

Han Fei was also clearly aware of big bun’s stingy temperament. Ling Wen reddened his face, stammering, “I, I know…”

He just wanted to save money, but never said he wouldn’t pay.

“Ha ha…”

Seeing this scene, Ling Jingxuan and other people couldn’t help laughing. Ling Wen was stingy, but isn’t he also their fun fruit?

Those people were talking and laughing all the way, small bun was also very excited and active, often saying some funny words from time to time. On the way, Ling Jingxuan suddenly saw a vast wasteland, barely no grass. In the countryside, this is undoubtedly a waste. What is the most important thing for farmers? Of course, the land. But now large areas of land, because of drying up of the inland sea tributaries, were abandoned. Many people would suffer.

“What a bit! How I wish I could grow something on those fields.”

Aware of his sight, Ling Jingpeng lamented. A lot of people in the village owned no land, let alone outsiders like them. Some people only had one or two mu of land, after paying taxes they barely had food left. Especially in recent years, the wasteland in Lingjiang basin was almost all assarted, some people even bought homestead to plant things, and most crops couldn’t survive on it. Like Ling Jingxuan’s two mu of land, it was homestead. Otherwise, they wouldn’t often starve for having no food.

“Hehe…”

Smiling at him, Ling Jingxuan suddenly said, “Brother Zhao, can you stop? I want to go there to have a look.”

Saying so, he also don’t wait for the cart to stop, Ling Jingxuan directly jumped off.

“Daddy…”

“Xiaowen, you kids stay in the cart. I’ll be right back.”

Seeing this, the two buns also were ready to jump off, but Ling Jingpeng and Han Fei quickly grabbed them, and after the cart stopped, the kids hopped off and followed.

“Half saline-alkali land, indeed.”

Ignoring the three people who wanted to say something, Ling Jingxuan squatted down and dug some soil and sent into his mouth. As early as from the owner of the memory about the situation around to Ling village, he guessed this piece of land was likely to be formed because of sea water, now it turned out to be true. No wonder whatever those villagers planted, they wouldn’t survive. That was because it was all saline-alkali soil.

“I remember the sear water pours in about October every year? Is the water level high? How long does it take to reflux?”

Turning his head to them, Ling Jingxuan asked solemnly. A fortune-making idea in the heart was vaguely rooted, but…the money he needed was not a small amount!
