Chapter 976: Honor in Troubled Times 44

When Xiao Yuan came back, there were a lot fewer things to do, and she could also spare time to prepare New Year's goods.

In the evening, Xiao Yuan and An Ning took Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin to the study.

In the study, Xiao Rong and Xiao Yun were also waiting.

Xiao Yuan went over and asked Xiao Rong to add a few pieces of coal to the stove to make the fire burn more vigorously, and he pointed to a few chairs: "Sit." ”

When everyone sat down, Xiao Yuan said softly: "This time I went to the beach to transport salt." ”

Belch?

Several of the children were surprised.

Xiao Yuan's expression was faint: "Our family can earn a few dollars just by farming, barely maintaining a full family, it is impossible to live a good life, plus we have to train Xiangyong, and we will recruit many people in the future, which requires money, although our family has some savings, but we can't sit and eat empty, when we came to Nanyi, I went to the beach to make a few salt pans, that place is very remote, I trained a team of people to garrison, and I collected a lot of salt in the past six months, and now I want to take the opportunity to transport it out to make a fortune." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Yin's face was shocked: "Dad, are you talking about sea salt?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "The salt drying method has existed since ancient times, but the earlier method was too stupid, the yield of drying salt was low, and the salt dried out was not very good. ”

An Ning nodded, stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Yin's head: "I'm afraid that next year the earth dragon will turn over, and the location happens to be the place where the most salt is produced in the well, if it is really moving, countless casualties will be light, I am afraid that the people will be short of salt from now on, this salt price, I'm afraid it will ......"

Speaking of this, An Ning's face showed a hint of melancholy, and she shook her head lightly: "It's going to be chaos soon." ”

Xiao Yin looked up at An Ning, she really admired her father and mother in her heart.

What kind of fairy father is this, everything is ready for silence.

Damn, if this family gets a lot of salt, then aren't you afraid, when the world is short of salt, our family will use salt to recruit displaced people, and we can still make money, and we can exchange a lot of materials, and when the world is in chaos, we can immediately occupy Laixian, and after controlling Laixian, it won't take long to control the entire Nanyi.

The more Xiao Yin thought about it, the more agitated her heart became.

Not only her, but Xiao Rong and Xiao Yun were also excited.

Xiao Yuan smiled: "When your brother and they come back, we can use this salt to attract some homeless people hiding in the mountains to take refuge, and soon, our family will be able to control the entire county." ”

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Rong: "Rong'er, you are very fast in settling accounts, from now on, in addition to learning literature and martial arts, you will follow your mother to make accounts." ”

Xiao Rong hurriedly got up: "Dad, I must study hard with my mother." ”

Xiao Yuan pointed at Xiao Yun again: "Yun'er follows me to practice martial arts." ”

He looked at Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin again: "Hui'er likes to fiddle with medicinal herbs, follow me to study medicine in the future, Yin'er...... You have to figure out how to attract more displaced people down the mountain. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Yin pointed to herself: "Dad, you're not mistaken, how old am I, you just let me do this? ”

Xiao Yuan smiled: "Why can't you do it? Our Yin'er is so smart, there is something that can't be done, don't worry, if you have a leak, your father will carry it for you, just do it boldly and boldly." ”

Xiao Yin lowered her shoulders, when she knew that her father and mother were so powerful, she actually wanted to be a salted fish, she really wanted to lie down and win, but in the end, she was still caught.

was caught strong, and from now on he can no longer be a salted fish Xiao Yin recognizes.

She thought that her father had really succeeded in rebellion, then she was a princess, and she could raise a lot of beautiful men, so when she thought about it, she immediately became psychologically balanced, and she couldn't wait to immediately roll up her sleeves and do three hundred rounds.

After assigning tasks to the children, Xiao Yuan and An Ning returned to the room.

Lying on the bed, An Ning looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile.

Xiao Yuan also smiled: "Since Yin'er has that kind of experience, she can't be buried, this child has the memories of the previous life, she is a young man in the new era who grew up under the red flag, if you want to talk about fighting public opinion wars, how can you be better than the ancients, I am also giving full play to her strengths, not only now, but in the future, this propaganda and education work still has to be done by Yin'er." ”

"Okay, you're trying to squeeze your daughter. ”

An Ning smiled and nestled in Xiao Yuan's arms, Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to hug her: "From next year, we will be busy." ”

Years ago, Xiao Jin and his party did not come back.

An Ning helped Wyeth prepare some New Year goods, and when it was Chinese New Year's Eve, let Wyeth bring her children over to celebrate the New Year together.

The family spent Chinese New Year's Eve lively, and at the end of the first month, Xiao Jin and they returned with the people from the Marquis of Guangning.

The Marquis of Guangning first went to the county government to change the documents, and then applied for the household registration certificate, and then went to Houshan Village, which is not too far from Jingtian Village, where he divided the fields and was busy building houses or something.

After Xiao Ling came back, he went to Houshan Village from time to time to help, and after coming and going, he became familiar with Miss Yuan Si, and the two of them also had some friendship.

At the end of February, the weather in Nanyi was very hot, and the wheat in the fields was ripe.

Xiao Yuan has people under his hands, but he doesn't have to go to the ground to cut wheat himself.

He asked Xiao Ying to take the children at home and the villagers under his hands to cut the wheat of dozens of acres of land home, and then to thresh the wheat and dry it when the weather was good.

After the wheat was harvested, An Ning planted a crop of beans in the field.

After finishing the work in the field, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jin began to weigh it.

In the end, after weighing the wheat, Xiao Yuan was fine, Xiao Jin was really scared.

Xiao Jin still remembers that when he was in the Pingguo Mansion, his family also had a grange, and he still remembered that the grange was produced, and one acre of land in a good field only produced more than 300 catties of wheat.

But now, I haven't seen Xiao Yuan and An Ning busy with their work, and more than 1,000 catties of wheat have been planted on this acre of land.

Xiao Jin is really scared.

Xiao Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just said that your third sister-in-law is the best at farming, now believe it." ”

Xiao Jin nodded busily: "Believe it, believe it, my third sister-in-law is too powerful, this is the reincarnation of Shennong." ”

Xiao Yuan chuckled: "Your third sister-in-law wants to keep some good wheat seeds, in addition, she also got some good rice seeds, and our paddy fields also have to be planted, and also, you go back and discuss with Lizheng, let him ask the people in the village, if anyone wants to plant our rice, just say it, let them exchange their own rice, our family will not treat the villagers badly, just exchange one pound for one pound." ”

Xiao Jin responded, and turned around and really told Li Zheng about it.

Rizheng quickly asked the people in the village.

Everyone knew that the wheat harvest planted by the Xiao family's three houses was particularly good, and as soon as they heard that An Ning still had good rice seeds in their hands, they all thought about changing some to plant.

Soon, the people who came to change rice seeds at the door of Xiao Yuan's house lined up.

After Xiao Yuan changed the rice seeds here, he raised seedlings and planted rice in the paddy field at home, and after a while, it was almost summer.

And the salt pans he made made made a lot of salt, and Xiao Yuan let people transport some of them out and sell them for money, and the rest was saved.

In addition to the affairs of the family, it is the matter of Xiao Ling's marriage.

An Ning found a matchmaker to go to the Marquis Mansion of Guangning to propose marriage for Xiao Ling.

Guangning Hou happily agreed.

Just like Xiao Yuan said, in the current situation, it is impossible for the Marquis of Guangning to pick up Xiao Ling.

If it was in the capital, the Marquis of Guangning would never agree to this family business, no matter how good Xiao Ling was, he was just a concubine, and he was not worthy of the concubine of the Hou Mansion at all.

But now it's different, the Marquis of Guangning has just arrived, and he has to rely on the Xiao family for many things.

His family is all weak scholars, and the family's force value is not high, so they need to rely on Xiao Yuan to protect them, and in addition, in the realm of Nanyi, except for Xiao Ling, the Marquis of Guangning really can't find a better son-in-law for his daughter.

At this point, it is impossible for the Marquis of Guangning not to agree.
