Chapter 710: Building a Prosperous Pastoral 102
In the next few days, Long Hexuan went to the field to show his face, and then went to the construction site to see the progress of the new house, and then went home to accompany Xi Yuexin.
It took only three days to harvest all the rice, and after calculating the total output, Long Hexuan wrote a letter to Emperor Qingfeng, asking Xi Yuexin to posthumously seal the edict, and by the way, at the end of the letter, the name of the Zhou county order was mentioned.
This year, Long Hexuan and Xi Yuexin rented a total of 50 acres of paddy fields in the village, and the total output of rice this season was more than 3,900 catties, which was twice as much as last year.
As long as the rice harvest can be harvested every year, Long Hexuan and his wife will always rent their fields, then they will have an income of a few taels of silver every year, as well as a salary of 300 yuan per month, as long as they work for two or three years, not only can they live a good life, maybe they can also live in a blue brick and black tile house, and the villagers are full of hope for the future.
With silver, and so much food, they don't have to be afraid of going hungry in the future, thinking of this, the villagers are full of gratitude to Long Hexuan and his wife, if it weren't for them, they wouldn't dare to think of such a good thing.
After harvesting the rice, Long Hexuan gave Xi Guodong silver and asked the villagers to collect the beans on the mountain.
Xi Guodong watched the beans, Long Hexuan was not worried, every morning after breakfast, went up the mountain for a turn, and then went to the construction site to inspect the progress and quality of the house, and finally returned home to accompany Xi Yuexin to read, sleep, eat, sometimes the two would guess whether the child was a boy or a girl, every time the two looked different, just like now, the two of them argued again about the gender of the child.
"I said it's a daughter." This is Xi Yuexin's guess.
"I said son." This is Long Hexuan's guess.
"Why do you think it's a daughter?" Seeing Xi Yuexin's insistence, Long He asked.
They have argued many times over the gender of their children, and he has tried to persuade Xi Yuexin to agree with his guess, but Xi Yuexin just insists on her guess and refuses to budge.
"Then why do you think it's a son?" Xi Yuexin asked rhetorically.
"My gut told me it was my son." Long Hexuan said arrogantly.
"My gut also told me it was a daughter." Xi Yuexin is more arrogant than him.
Hua Hong and the others, who were guarding the door, listened to the childish conversation between the two, looked at each other, and tried their best to hide a smile in each other's eyes.
A person as cold as Long Hexuan would also have such a childish side.
Of course, this topic is fruitless, and the final result can only be known until the child is born.
A month later, the second season of rice seedlings in the field has been green, and the beans on the mountain have been harvested.
At the same time, he also waited for the holy decree of Emperor Qingfeng and the six midwives carefully selected by the Queen Mother for Xi Yuexin.
When the eunuch read the holy decree, many villagers gathered at the gate of the small courtyard, and the villagers learned from the holy decree that Long Gongzi, who had lived in their village for so long, turned out to be the prince of Xian who had made great achievements today, that is to say, Xi Yuexin was the princess.
Thinking that Long Hexuan, as a prince, was a little cold to them, but he never felt sorry for them, even if Xi Fugui offended him, he was only sent to the yamen and closed for a few days, and the villagers felt that this indifferent appearance of the idle prince was very close to the people.
