When she met Chunniang, she explained her intentions, she wanted to rent Half Moon Bay.
She poured too much effort into this place, probably just to prove herself at first, but then she fell in love with it through and through.
She wanted to live there, and she felt that she was reluctant to give up that village no matter who it was handed over, and she felt that there was no one in the world who knew better than her about Half Moon Bay.
Zhu Qiao and Second Mrs. Qin both introduced suitable men to show her, but she always felt that something was missing.
Even if there is a little bit of affection, I still don't have the courage to nod.
But the new village gave her a sense of security like never before, and the rock-made houses and watchtowers made of rocks made of them made of them no longer afraid of any violent storms.
She had already written back to her father, and perhaps it would be good to live alone for the rest of her life.
"What are you going to do with that big place?" Ruan Xiaoman asked a little curiously.
"Maybe use it to grow rice." Chunniang hesitated, most of the rice is grown in the south, but in fact, she doesn't know much about farming.
"We originally wanted to use it to grow mulberry trees to raise silkworms, and the land in Half Moon Bay is very suitable for planting mulberry trees." Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, the yield of rice is not very high, and it is a bit wasteful to grow rice.
"Growing mulberry and raising silkworms?" Chunniang was embarrassed, she didn't understand these things at all, and she could barely say that she knew a little bit about farming.
"I have an idea, do you want to hear if it's possible?" Ruan Xiaoman listened for a while, and then interjected.
"If you have something to say, what do you have to do with me?" Lu Yuanfeng looked at Ruan Xiaoman with a smile.
"You're ...... Listen honestly to me. Ruan Xiaoman subconsciously wanted to pinch him, but seeing Chun Niang's unnatural appearance, he just patted him lightly in the end.
"I think so, the completion of Half Moon Bay has half of your credit, and there is naturally no problem renting it to you.
But it's not safe for you to live as a woman, and it's most suitable for a woman to do something like growing mulberry and raising silkworms, so you just treat it as a little daughter country, and you are the king of that daughter country. Ruan Xiaoman coughed for a moment, and then said seriously.
"It's just the three of us who know this, although we are far away from the emperor here, but can you change your unobtrusive bad habits?" Lu Yuanfeng interrupted Ruan Xiaoman's words.
"Got it, just kidding." Ruan Xiaoman muttered, she is not such a disproportionate person.
"I'm not going to say it, it's just a joke." Chun Niang hurriedly promised.
"Ignore him, he loves to pick thorns. Having said that, we still have a patriarchal ethos here, and I thought about this when you said you wanted to manage the village.
If this village is built, it would be good to be able to give the female households a place to live.
It's just that if they are all women, this safety problem still has to be solved.
Although we can ask Hu County to order and inspect them to strengthen their precautions, but it is better to rely on outsiders than on yourself, I think Mrs. Inspector is happy to be a leader, what do you think? Ruan Xiaoman asked Chun Niang.
"Good, good, good, that's great." Chun Niang was excited.
Originally, it was just an impulsive idea, but listening to Ruan Xiaoman's words, she could already paint a grand plan for the future of Half Moon Bay.
"It's just that I don't know this kind of mulberry silkworm." Chunniang is still a little embarrassed.
"I won't either, I won't go to school, anyway, this kind of thing doesn't have to worry about, the idea was up to him, tell him to find someone." Ruan Xiaoman said disappreciatively.
"Okay, I'll go find someone, do you have any other instructions? If not, you can talk slowly, I'll go back to the business house first, and if there are things that cost money and errands, just come to me. Lu Yuanfeng said helplessly.
Seeing Lu Yuanfeng leaving, Chun Niang was a little uneasy, feeling that she had caused trouble for Ruan Xiaoman, "Young Master Lu, is he angry?" I have the money, and I can find the people. ”
"It's okay, he's like this, and he's used to it after getting along for a long time." Ruan Xiaoman didn't care if he was angry or not.
Anyway, he has to find a sense of existence in front of her every once in a while, usually he does whatever he likes, and she is used to being away from home often.
The more Ruan Xiaoman and Chunniang chatted, the more they agreed, and both of them thought of going together.
The difference is that Chun Niang empathizes, so she wants to do something for women, while Ruan Xiaoman also wants to do something for women because of her experience when she was a child.
Especially after the floods, it is even more difficult for female households to survive.
Chun Niang has no children and no daughters, she doesn't want to buy the land in Half Moon Bay, and her dowry is not enough to buy the land and house in Half Moon Bay, so she can only rely on rent.
But Ruan Xiaoman and Lu Yuanfeng both promised that the land would always be rented for them, but half of their annual income would be given to them to offset the rent.
After the news spread that Half Moon Bay was going to recruit female workers, many people wanted to sign up.
Many people have never lived in such a good house, and they still have money to eat, so it can be said that there are a lot of people.
In order to prevent problems, Hu Xianling and Wu Changqing both sent people to the scene to maintain order.
There are also people who want to fish in troubled waters, and there are also people who want to get through the tricks, if they are not familiar with Hu Xianling, they may be deceived.
Originally, they just wanted to find thirty-four people, but there were too many poor people, Chun Niang and Ruan Xiaoman discussed, and had to adjust the upper limit to one hundred.
In fact, at the beginning, they may have no income at all, and they have to rely on Ruan Xiaoman and them to help.
The money is to be deducted from future income, and they will not be compromised because they are pitiful.
In addition to the fact that Lu Yuanfeng is a businessman, it is also because they are all women, so they are even more demanding.
As a woman, it is not easy to live well in this world, Chun Niang and Ruan Xiaoman do not want to build a paradise for them, but to give them a chance to learn survival skills.
With Zhu Qiao's guidance, the women of this Half Moon Bay all advocate martial arts, and the sickles and hoes in their hands can be turned into weapons.
At this time, without the help of patrols and officials, they can also protect themselves.
The first women's school in Yuzhi County and even in the south was also born here, and Xu Qiaoniang also opened a class to teach midwifery.
Xu Qiaoniang got married, and her husband was also a doctor, and after getting married, the two still practiced medicine in Jishitang, occasionally going out to collect medicine together, and the husband sang with the wife.
The embroidery workshop that Lu Yuanfeng had been talking about for a long time was finally completed, and the territory of Yuanfeng Commercial Bank was not over.
Chu Hengshu lived up to his mission and returned from going to sea, full of gold, silver and jewelry, and Yuanfeng Commercial Bank made a lot of money.
With such a large amount of money, Yuanfeng Commercial Bank has been involved in more and more industries.
But Lu Yuanfeng always felt a little at a loss, Ruan Xiaoji's guy hit Ruan Xiaoman's head every time and used his money to benefit the people.
And Ruan Xiaoman thought about it again and again, and every one of them cost money like water, that is, to calculate everything that could be turned into money on his head.
Oil refining workshops, sugar workshops, there is a lot of investment in the early stage, and this business territory is getting bigger and bigger, he is a little unhappy.
The larger the business territory, the more Lu Yuanfeng felt small and pitiful.
Ruan Xiaoman has too many backers, and it is impossible to divorce his wife at this time, he wants to cry a little.
Obviously, he is the one who was bullied and skinned, but why did everyone else have an expression of "you bullied your lady again", and he didn't even have a place to reason.
finally looked forward to seeing that his son was older and could take care of things, Lu Yuanfeng finally found an opportunity to take Ruan Xiaoman and Wei Ning and his wife to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers.
Who would have thought that they still ran into Ruan Xiaoji, who had already become a messenger!
Looking at the baby girl that Ruan Xiaoman brought back, Lu Yuanfeng was so angry that he beat his chest, "If you want a daughter, I'll work harder, why do you want to pick one up and raise it?" Could it be Ruan Xiaoji's trouble for you again? ”
"I don't raise it, take it back to my son to raise, my son's temper is up to you, I'm afraid he won't find a daughter-in-law." Ruan Xiaoman looked at the little girl in his arms and said with a smile.
After Xiao Ji said that she was loyal, she just wanted to do a little bit for the loyal ministers who defended the country, but she couldn't chill the hearts of the soldiers.
Lu Yuanfeng looked at Ruan Xiaoman, and pitifully went to Wei Ning to drink stuffy.
Hmph, the little daughter-in-law for the son, they will leave here tomorrow and leave this little girl to raise the son, and see what else she has to say.
So Lu Huaixia, who hadn't seen her parents for a long time, didn't have time to tell her parents about the pain of missing, and there was a little girl in her hand who was still in swaddling clothes.
His father also said that this was his future daughter-in-law, let him take care of it.
Then his father and mother slipped away again before he woke up, he knew that it must have been his father's idea, his mother would not be so ruthless, she was forced.
After leaving Yuzhi County, Ruan Xiaoman realized that Lu Yuanfeng really told his son that it was his little daughter-in-law.
That's it, that's it, when the children are older, she will go back and explain it to them.
Her heart was taken wild by Lu Yuanfeng, and she yearned for the beautiful scenery and food in the unknown distance.
I also do my best to make a small contribution to the local people.
Lu Yuanfeng laughed at her for being a traveling doctor, hum, she knows more than just medical skills.
However, she also laughed at him as a profiteer who saw a grass and wanted to sell it.
What she passed on to Xu Qiaoniang, Tian Qi and Fu Caihe was medical skills, while what Lu Yuanfeng passed on to her son was every business opportunity.
Although they dislike each other, having him to mess around with her is probably the greatest luck in her life.
