Half a month later, Zhao Zhenzhen followed the Bai family to the northwest Tiebi Pass in a comfortable carriage.

Along the way, although the carriage was comfortable, the people on the road were also serving, and there was no need to hurry, so half of them were walking, and half of them were resting. However, it was still very hard.

Bai Shi observed Zhao Zhenzhen. I feel worthy of being a tiger girl, such a pampered little girl, she didn't complain at all, nor did she feel uncomfortable, but because she saw a different style, she was full of interest.

On the road, not all the scenery is beautiful, the people in the northwest are poor, and Zhao Zhenzhen has seen the life of the poor people. This is a different scene from the prosperity of the capital.

Seeing these suffering people, Zhao Zhenzhen's mood also became bad. She had a lot of money with her, and she ate a lot, so she often gave relief to the poor.

These were all seen by the Bai family, and he couldn't help nodding secretly. It seems that Da Chu still has some gas, if Zhao Zhenzhen can really become the queen in the future, she will definitely be a generation of virtuous queens, in history, every virtuous queen will have two more good emperors, one is the husband of the virtuous queen, and the other is the son of the virtuous queen. If this virtuous queen lives longer, there may be one more good emperor, that is, the grandson of the virtuous queen.

Therefore, from this point of view, Da Chu should still have a time to prosper.

Bai became more and more satisfied with Zhao Zhenzhen.

As the Bai family, now she is naturally not the same as before, and now she is the wife of the sect leader of a family, so she naturally has to focus on the overall situation. Everything in Nanyang is just the beginning. She also wants Da Chu to be prosperous for a while, so as to give Nanyang more time to develop. Let the foundation of the Xiao Chen family and the Zhao family be more solid, so that they can exist for a longer time in the future wave.

Therefore, the Bai family secretly made up his mind that he must teach Zhao Zhenzhen everything.

Zhao Zhenzhen didn't know what Bai thought about her, but she felt that although she left her parents, she was loved by Mrs. Bai. This kind of love is something that his own grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, can't give.

Zhao Zhenzhen is a young girl after all, so she naturally becomes more and more dependent on the old lady Bai who loves her. These two people are becoming more and more like real grandchildren.

Finally reached the boundary of the three northwestern provinces, and entered this territory from the beginning. Zhao Zhenzhen found out. There has been a change. The first is that the crops on both sides of the road have become better. It's still spring, and the plan of the year lies in spring, which is a good time to sow seeds. In the fields on the road, there are farmers farming from time to time. These farmers were different from the people I had seen before.

The peasants were not so sad. They tended to the crops. It seems to be more professional. Of course. The growth of the crops in that field can also be seen, and it is indeed more professional.

In addition to the changes in the farmland, there is also the change in the roads. After entering the three northwestern provinces. The speed of travel is significantly faster. Even the carriage is no longer so bumpy. Because the road was wide and flat, it was natural that the carriage traveled quickly and smoothly.

Zhao Zhenzhen looked curious, Mrs. Bai saw it in her eyes, and said to Zhao Zhenzhen with a smile: "Do you think that it is obviously a little different when you come here?" ”

Zhao Zhenzhen smiled and slapped Mrs. Bai's back, and said: "Zhenzhen just doesn't understand, it should be the more prosperous the further you go to the capital, the more desolate and poorer you are the further you go to the northwest, but how can it be the opposite?" ”

Zhao Zhenzhen's technique is very good, this is learned from the grandmothers in Xiao Chen's house, hanging on the body, not light or heavy, just to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

Old Madam Bai said while enjoying herself: "Although these three provinces are in the northwest, they were originally very remote and poor, but since your second aunt and your second uncle came, this place has changed. These three provinces are also under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Duke. All under the management of the Iron Wall Pass. ”

"Do you think that the crops here grow better, and do you think that the farmers here are more serious about planting?"

Zhao Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "Yes, why? ”

Old Madam Bai said: "I can't teach you this easily, it's not a good habit to listen and believe, you have to learn to observe and ask yourself." ”

"In a moment, we will go to a town in front of us to have a good restaurant, which has been cleaned up by the people who have been standing in front of us, and we will go there for lunch and a lunch break for a while. In the past, we used to travel in the morning and stay in the hotel in the afternoon. However, the roads here are so good that we can travel for a day. Now we have a meal at noon, and after a lunch break, we have to hurry, and in the evening, there is a county town to live in. You can take advantage of your lunch break to ask yourself. ”

Zhao Zhenzhen understood and came down with a smile.

At noon, Zhao Zhenzhen finished serving Mrs. Bai and watched Mrs. Bai rest. I went back to my lounge.

Although it is only a town, the buildings are new, and the style is quite good, and there are even carved bricks. The inn where they stayed was quiet and quiet, although it was simple, but because the people who played the front station had already arranged it in advance, these bedding, curtains and other things were brought by themselves, and they were very comfortable to use.

Before Zhao Zhenzhen ate, she called the housekeeper to find a local peasant woman for herself, as well as the local squire's wife, the proprietress of the inn came over to talk to her after dinner.

At this moment she reached the break room, where three women were already sitting. One is in his forties, wearing satin clothes, and wearing red gold jewelry on his head, the gold hairpin is particularly shiny, and it looks like a newly hit jewelry. The maid whispered to her that this was the innkeeper's lady. Zhao Zhenzhen nodded at her. She smiled and rushed up to ask Zhao Zhenzhen how she was doing.

Zhao Zhenzhen smiled and politely said a few words to her.

There is also a thirty-year-old, with a delicate appearance and a very good demeanor, wearing woolen clothes and white jade and jade jewelry on his head, which looks very comfortable. The maid told her that this was Mrs. Shen, the wife of the squire in the town, and that the squire was working at Tiebi Pass and was a seven-rank official. Then this is an official's family.

Zhao Zhenzhen went up and hurriedly called Mrs. and met her with a flat courtesy. This is Zhao Zhenzhen's politeness, Zhao Zhenzhen is the daughter of Zhongyigong, and Zhongyigong is the official position of Zhengyipin, which is much bigger than the official position of the husband of Mrs. Shen, a family member of this squire. According to etiquette, it should be Mrs. Shen who gave Zhao Zhenzhen a gift. Moreover, Mrs. Shen's husband works under the Northwest Duke, who is Zhao Zhenzhen's own uncle. Mrs. Shen didn't dare to hold it up.

Zhao Zhenzhen is polite to see a flat courtesy. Mrs. Shen didn't dare to be careless, so she made a big salute and was held up by Zhao Zhenzhen's maid.

Mrs. Shen felt very obedient in her heart, this Zhao girl was approachable.

The last one was a peasant woman, a little cramped at the moment, about thirty years old, her appearance was smooth, sturdy, and the clothes she wore were cheesecloth jackets and dark blue coats, eighty percent new, but very clean, without a patch.

Zhao Zhenzhen also smiled and politely greeted her. The peasant woman was even more cramped.

Zhao Zhenzhen invited the guests to sit down, and then sat down herself, and first said: "I'm just bored in a hurry, and I want to ask someone to talk to me about the gossip here to relieve my boredom, but it's troublesome for the ladies." ”

The only person who can be Mrs. Shen can speak of Mrs. Shen is here. Therefore, the peasant woman and the proprietress hurriedly said: "Don't worry, being able to talk to nobles is the blessing of Sansheng." ”

Zhao Zhenzhen smiled and asked the peasant woman: "This eldest lady, on the way I came, I saw that I had entered the three northwestern provinces, and the crops on both sides of the road were better than those in the previous provinces, why is this?" ”

When the peasant woman heard that this was the problem, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she would say about the crops, and she said, "Return to the words of the nobleman." Our crops here are not good. Because the weather here is bad, the land is thin, and the crops don't grow well. It would be good to produce 100 catties per acre of land. But later, after the Northwest Gong came, he called young people, village heads, and Li Zheng to study in the county seat in every village, and also gave out new seeds, taught us how to fertilize and how to grow crops, and also set up a school in the county town to teach how to grow crops, raise fish, raise livestock, and raise small poultry. ”

"These village chiefs, Li Zheng, and the young people in the village came back to tell us after they learned it. We follow along, sometimes we can't, and we can take turns to go to the city to learn. Just like our family, my father-in-law, and my man all went to learn the ability to grow crops. My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law and I all learned how to weave and how to weave. The garments on my body are all woven by myself. I also weave my own children's clothes. It's warm. Our family's crops are getting better and better year by year, and now one acre of land can bring down five or six hundred catties of grain, but it is much stronger than before. ”

Now Zhao Zhenzhen understood.

Zhao Zhenzhen asked: "What are you planting now?" ”

The peasant woman said: "We now grow most of the corn and sweet potatoes, and we also grow some cotton every year, so that our whole family has cotton cloth to wear and a quilt to cover, and now the winter is much warmer." ”

Zhao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Don't you plant wheat or something?" ”

The peasant woman said: "Why don't you plant, but the yield of wheat is less, one acre of land, the good is only three or four hundred catties, so just plant a little every year, and the rest are medium corn, sweet potatoes, these are high-yielding, so that you can eat a full stomach." ”

Zhao Zhenzhen understood a little.

The peasant woman said, "Actually, farming is not the main way to make money in our town now. ”

Zhao Zhenzhen hurriedly asked: "Then what is the way to make money." ”

The peasant woman grinned and said, "Go out and work." (To be continued......)
