Chapter 134: New Ideas

Pan Mingqiu happily agreed to be this witness, not only did he come, but the elders of the other rooms of the Mai family also followed. Mai Xiaofang read the letter written by her sister, and it clearly wrote what Mai Quan had experienced after being injured, and there was nothing untrue at all.

"Since what Xiao Huan said is true, everyone came over to press a handprint, and they are not allowed to mention this matter again in the future, and the Mai Liu family and the other two families will take the opportunity to make trouble again, don't blame me for being polite.

Under the pressure exerted by the village chief and the unkind gaze of the two old ladies, Mai Liu and his two sons did not dare to say a word despite their unwillingness, and drew the charge as requested.

After solving Mai Quan's matter, Pan Mingqiu asked Mai Wang if he would leave when he came back this time? Does Mai Xiaohuan have any plans to come back to open a workshop? The last time I went to the county to do something, I was criticized by the county order, how could I let such a capable person leave Pingliang County? We must find a way to get Mai Xiaohuan back, let her contribute to her hometown, and lead the people to get rich.

I am afraid it is not easy to get my daughter back, there are mothers and sisters-in-law in Shaxi Village, and there are sons and aunts in the county, and these girls don't like them. Besides, she promised to help Qu Hao, and if she didn't make a roll call in Tongbei County, she said that she would not come back.

"Xiao Huanlong's workshop and farming method, do you have anyone else in your family who knows? If she really can't leave, the others will come back. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work this year, I don't know what the effect of those farming methods is, as for that workshop? She's doing it all alone, and none of us are doing it. Mai Wang didn't know if the Mai Yonghai brothers and sisters could make noodles, but he saw that the little girl was busy in the workshop, and told the village chief everything she knew.

"I heard that the noodles were made in the name of Mai's, so everyone in our family should have a share, let a few of her cousins go over tomorrow to learn, and after learning well, come back and open one by herself, won't it be done?" Mai Xing was not ashamed.

Mai Wang: Fortunately, I didn't agree to the village chief's request to let my daughter come back to open the workshop, and I didn't have to do anything because of the children pestered by these relatives at home, so I still let her and the workshop stay in Tongbei County.

Village Chief: I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen such a thick-skinned person as Mai Liu's and her eldest and youngest sons. It can be said that it is normal for them to be in the third room, except for Mai Wang, everyone else is sick, and the illness is not light.

The next day, Mai Yonghe came back early in the morning to report the good news, and Chen Qiuniang added a boy to the Mai family.

"Yesterday, you didn't say that Qiu Niang was going to give birth! If I do, I won't go back to Shaxi Village. Shan Cuihua smiled and packed up the gifts for her daughter-in-law and grandson.

As grandfathers and grandmothers, Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua bought a silver collar of good color for their grandson; Mai Xiaofang and Mai Xiaohuan customized silver bracelets for their future nephew (niece); Mak Yonghai gave a bag of peanut-shaped silver naked seeds.

These things may not be able to buy twenty taels of silver, Mai Yonghe and Chen Qiuniang sighed at the same time: Father and mother and younger brothers and sisters are really rich now, we must find a way to ease the relationship with them, and the benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future.

Shan Cuihua lived in the county seat for three days, and met Mai Xiaoyuan again, because Chen Qiuniang was weak and had no milk, she spent money to hire a nurse for her grandson. Mai Xiaoyuan gave a lot of his son's small clothes, gave ten taels of silver, and sent an elderly maid from home to take care of his younger siblings who were confinement.

Mai Xiaoyuan told his father and mother that he was really in power at home now, not only Dou Liangfu's aunts were much more honest, but her mother-in-law also changed her attitude, and after so many years, she finally tasted what it was like to be a housewife.

"You can get through, my mother is very happy, you have to be more generous and filial to be the housewife, the Dou family has a large population and complicated relationships, you have to think about everything a few times before doing it, you know?"

Mai Xiaoyuan nodded in agreement, and said with emotion in his tone: "What I can get today is thanks to Xiao Huan, I really didn't expect that I would also have a day when I was stained with her light, before!" I thought she could grow up and marry a farmer, but I thought she was so capable. Look at it! The three of us sisters must be the best to marry in the end. ”

Among the three daughters, I'm afraid Xiaofang is the best to marry! Shan Cuihua couldn't imagine what a family that was more famous and capable than the Tang family was like. She didn't dare to think that Mai Xiaohuan would marry into an official eunuch's family, she just hoped that someone would not dislike her stubborn person.

After living in Shaxi Village for a few days, Shan Cuihua was not worried about the things in the villa, afraid that the two children would not be able to keep busy, so she chased her husband and daughter back.

When I returned to the lodge, I was just in time to harvest buckwheat, millet and millet.

The workshop has been on the right track, with Mai Xiaohuan's combination of modern management methods, the workers have put out the laziness and slippery thinking, fishing in troubled waters. Besides, who doesn't want to earn more money and make their family's life better?

arranged two stewards to complete the important process, Mai Xiaohuan also went down to the field, Qu Hao also came, with the ears of wheat grown in other fields, wanting to compare with the crops in Mai Xiaohuan's field to see how big the gap in yield was.

After nearly ten days of busyness, all the 200 acres of miscellaneous grains were recovered, dried and threshed and weighed, and the yield per mu of grain in the villa was two layers more than that in other places in Tongbei County.

"Great!" That's a big step forward! Qu Hao was happy like a child, standing opposite Mai Xiaohuan and bowing deeply to her.

While he was bending over, Mai Xiaohuan patted him on the shoulder: "If these plots are raised for a few more years, the output may double!" It's just that there will still be a gap compared to the real good land. ”

This is already very good, with such a grain output, the people will at least have some surplus grain after paying the rent, and it should not be a problem to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Mai Xiaohuan wanted to buy more land and build a new mountain villa, there were too many people here, and she wanted to move her family out.

"Do you have any new ideas?"

"Confidant! Or do you know me best. Mai Xiaohuan not only wants to make a fuss about improving the land, but she also wants to make the most of the land, grow food and raise livestock at the same time. Livestock are fed with grain straw, and livestock manure is used as fertilizer...... Form a three-dimensional agricultural model.

He Qu Hao briefly talked about his plans, and with his help, he bought a Zhuangzi with a total area of more than 800 acres at the junction of Pingliang County and Mingle County. Surrounded by mountains and rivers and fertile land, Mai Xiaohuan designed the house and planning plan according to his own preferences, and asked the Tang family to help find the best craftsman to build a house in Qingcheng County, and officially started construction at the end of the autumn harvest.

"Don't forget to leave me a small yard, I want to live in the kind of place where there are flowers and grass, dogs and birds." Tang Yujun, who came again with the craftsman to make fun, made a request.

"Where there are flowers, grass, dogs and birds, you don't have to wait until next year, you will have it after a while." Mai Xiaohuan looked at Tang Yujun with a smile and said.

How can it not feel good! Although he felt that he might fall into the pit, he couldn't help but ask: "How can there be such a place here!" ”

Mai Xiaohuan pointed his finger a little far away and told him where a special cowshed would be built in the near future: "When the time comes, there will be flowers on the mountain, grass on the slope, dogs on the guard, and birds will often fly in the sky." ”

"Poof"

"Haha! Ha ha! Mai Xiaofang and Mai Yonghai were amused, this picture was coupled with Tang Yujun's expression like swallowing a fly, Mai Xiaofang couldn't straighten up with a smile.

The sister-in-law is the most annoying, she will bully her brother-in-law, and when she goes back, she begs her mother to introduce Xiao Huan to a family affair. It's better to choose a good-tempered, obedient one, and then ...... yourself

Thinking of family affairs, Tang Yujun couldn't help sighing, his father and mother had already planned to come to Tongbei County to meet the Mai family, but they didn't expect that an old man in the family of his aunt who married far away died. Uncle wants to sit at home, and he can only go over to his father, so I don't know how long it will take for the parents of both sides to meet, so depressed!

After striking Tang Yujun, several people turned back to the villa, now although the autumn harvest is over, the sweet potatoes are stored in the cellar, the autumn vegetables are sold out, the crops in the field have been loaded into the granary, and the yield of soybeans is also higher than that of other plots. Qu Hao rushed back to the county government to sum up his experience, and planned to write a letter to the capital, tell his father about the matter of Tongbei County, and ask him to help forward it to the emperor. I hope that the emperor can agree to improve the land, change the planting mode, and use money instead of rent, so that Tongbei County can get rid of poverty as soon as possible.

Mai Xiaohuan began to buy manure and sludge again...... People near Tongbei County also drove ox carts to the mountain village to transport these things. Mai Xiaohuan seized the opportunity to popularize the methods and benefits of improving the land to the people, and also led those curious people to visit his land.

Most people will be skeptical of Mai Xiaohuan's statement, or have a wait-and-see attitude, and some people who have worked in the mountain villa and witnessed the harvest scene have decided to go home and try to see if they can increase grain production in the coming year.

There is only so much that I can help Brother Qu do for the time being, and if the outdated concepts in those people's bones are not removed for a day, it is impossible to accept new ideas and methods. It seems that it will be necessary to invite representatives of the people to come and visit next year when the sowing and harvesting are due.

Another factory was built in the villa, Mai Xiaohuan planned to use sweet potatoes, purple potatoes and longevity fruits to make snacks, Mai Xiaofang liked to smell the fragrant taste of sweet potatoes, the crispy taste of longevity fruits, and took the initiative to ask for management and supervision. Tang Yujun volunteered to ask for help, and Mai Xiaohuan looked at the pair and shook his head.

"I promise to do my best to work hard, and I won't be able to steal your craft?" Tang Yujun felt that he was misunderstood for his good intentions, and he was very aggrieved.

"I also promise to do things well, and try to get rid of the mistakes of being careless and careless?" finally found what he liked to do, and Mai Xiaofang also wanted to make a name for herself.

Where do these two go! Mai Xiaohuan looked at them and said, "I'm afraid that you will hold on, and the Tang family will find me to settle accounts when the time comes." ”

It's better not to explain! Sounds so awkward! Tang Yujun turned his head to express his dissatisfaction, and Mai Xiaofang pursed his mouth directly.

It's really two children who haven't grown up, in order to let them be independent in the future, it seems that they can only give up the snack processing part for them to practice.
