On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was the day when the married girl returned to her parents' home, and early in the morning, the Xu family was busy.

Before the hour came, Xu Peilan and Xu Linglan came with their children and grandchildren, Xu Xiulan was the latest because she was the closest.

Xu Guangqi accompanied Wu to take Xu Qingjun back to his parents' house, Xu Guanghua also accompanied Hu to take Xu Qingwen back to his parents' house, Xu Qingyan didn't want to go anywhere, so he stayed at home to accompany Cao.

At noon, I accompanied the three aunts and cousins to have a meal, and after the meal, Cao chatted with them about family life, Xu Qingyan didn't like to hear this, so she confessed and went back to the study to continue making talismans.

Although the cousins and cousins also don't like to listen to the elders, they have no choice but to ask her to take them to the garden because of their noble status, Hu Wenzhen saw their thoughts, so she volunteered to take them to the village.

The aura talisman is a wild talisman, and it is Xu Qingyan's favorite talisman to make, but today she didn't make this, but the galloping talisman that she had just developed a few days ago. Since she made this a few years ago, she has been making a few copies every day for the past few days.

These days, she has been thinking about a question, in ancient times, transportation was so underdeveloped, should she take the test to open a dart bureau to help people deliver goods or letters?

The advantage, of course, is that it is fast and safe.

Although the Zhou Dynasty also had a private post station to do this, but due to safety issues, it was generally to wait for the goods to concentrate more, and then send more people to send them out, so that it would take a waiting process, as short as a few days, as long as half a month, plus the time spent on the road, far places have to wait at least a month or two for things or letters to reach the recipient.

If there is an emergency, you have to get sick in a hurry!!

So she wants to open a dart game that is known for its speed and safety, similar to the express delivery in her previous life, but there are still many issues to consider if this thing is to be implemented.

First of all, how many stations should be set up in each province? How to plan the route? How should the manpower be arranged?

All have to be carefully considered....

Just when she was a little tired, she sat down behind the bookcase with a brush, resting and thinking about her plans for the beginning of spring.

First of all, the pasture should be expanded, last year the breeding went smoothly, more than 100 heads of disease-free and disaster-free smoothly grew into big cattle, and many of them have given birth, so far 36 newborn calves have been produced, according to the current market price equivalent to nearly 1,000 taels of silver.

Sure enough, raising cattle is a sure-fire business!!

Of course, she will not give cattle to the people at the current market price, but she can reduce the cost of buying cattle herself, and if she opens another farm in the future, with these self-generated calves, she can buy fewer calves, which will greatly save costs.

The big cow and then the calf, the calf grows up and regenerates the calf, and so on, so it can be seen that after more than ten years, how many cattle she will have, and in addition to the cows, she also has to harvest milk to make milk powder, which is simply a good business, so the cattle farm must be expanded, and more must be built.

Chickens and ducks are currently saturated, the two farms alone last year alone has produced as many as 10,000 eggs, duck eggs have been made into salted duck eggs under her instructions, and they are still in the production period, and the finished product has not yet come out.

The eggs are kept for their own consumption, and if they can't be eaten, they are sold outside, and the money is kept by the farm itself, and if there is any additional consumption in the future, it will be taken from there.

When a certain amount is reached, the monthly silver of the people in the village can also come from there, so that the farm can be completely self-sufficient.

As for the pigs, they are the must-have things in the list of domestic animals, and they have to be replaced every year, and last year the two Zhuangzi raised ten heads each, and at the end of the year, except for one old sow left in each village, the rest were all slaughtered.

Eighteen pigs, two Zhuangzi each left one for the New Year to eat, the main house got two, Xu Peilan, Xu Linglan, Xu Xiulan each sent one, and the Hu family and Wu's mother's family also sent one each.

Of the remaining nine heads, four were made into bacon, and five were dismantled and sold cheaply to the villagers, which won another wave of appreciation.

After thinking about the livestock, all that remains is the field, and the two crops of rice and rice and fish farming have been proven to be completely feasible after last year's experiment, and a double harvest of rice and fish will be ushered in in the autumn.

The villagers of Beishan Village were envious, and at that time, many people followed the path of Xu Guanghua and Xu Guangqi and booked next year's seeds with their families.

Of course, Xu Qingyan also acquiesced in these things, and originally she came up with these things to benefit the people.

In rice alone, the total harvest of the two Zhuangzi last year was close to hundreds of thousands of quintals, and if these grains were only eaten by Xu Qingyan's family, they would not be able to eat them all in a lifetime, and even if they were supplied to a village, they could support them for several years.

However, Xu Qingyan still feels that it is not enough, after all, the more grain, the better, and in the case of a war that may be fought at any time at the border gate, there is no harm in storing more grain, so this year's grain should not only be planted, but also varied, even sweet potatoes and potatoes are no exception.

Last year, Guanqian Villa planted more than 100 acres of sweet potatoes, 100 acres of potatoes, each crop, harvested 1 million catties per season, and harvested 2 million catties in the second season.

If it was accidentally damaged or broken, Xu Qingyan ordered someone to transport it back to Zhuangzi on the spot to wash it, slice it, and then steam and dry it into dried sweet potatoes, which is also easier to preserve.

Thinking about it, before I knew it, time flew by.....

By the time she went out again, it was already sunset, and the three aunts had already gone home, and the second day of the Lunar New Year had passed.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qingyan was still a little confused when she was hiding in the quilt, and she could hear a burst of talking outside, and her five senses were keen, even if the voice was not from her yard, she could hear it clearly.

"Ouch, what a sin, such a cold day, just leave the child outside, if the porter hadn't found it in time, he would have frozen to death." Cao's voice was full of regret.

Hu Shi sighed: "It's not, I haven't opened my eyes yet, I guess I was born in these two days, and no matter how bitter it is, it won't be like this..."

"Who said it wasn't, it's cold, and if you're not careful, you'll die, but then again, although it's ruthless to lose a child, it's okay compared to those who drown the child at birth, at least it leaves a glimmer of hope for the child." Especially if he knew that it was sent to their house, Wu interjected.

Cao Shi looked at the little baby whose face was frozen blue and said, "This child will stay, anyway, there is no shortage of this stuttering at home, so it should be a virtue." ”

"The old lady is kind-hearted, and she can be taken in by the Xu family, and this child is also blessed." The porter flattered.

He was on duty last night, and early this morning he heard the cry of a child outside the door, but he heard it wrong, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a small burden at the door, and a child was lying in it, and his face was blue from the cold, and he hurriedly carried the child in and returned to the master's house.
