The village chief quickly summoned the villagers to discuss, but a decision was soon made.

A large area of the mountain behind the mountain village was handed over to the Zhou family, of course, this belongs to the future industry of the academy.

After the decision was made, Ye Xi also began to find someone to reclaim. At this time, the fields are not busy, and many families just chop some firewood for next year.

Ye Xi paid wages to hire people to open up the wasteland, and naturally there were many people who were willing. Especially for those who come to reclaim wasteland, when the academy is opened, the children can still be given priority to enroll, which is still very attractive.

Not only are people from the mountain villages willing to come, but also from other people's villages.

Most of the people in the surrounding villages are very familiar, and they also have some understanding of who and what temperament is. Seeing that there were hard-working and capable people, Ye Xi still let people stay.

There is great strength in numbers, and it would be best if the academy could be opened earlier.

The mountain village was busy here, and Ye Xi went to Tan's house to see Tan Yun and Master Tan.

There are no silkworms to raise in winter, and Master Tan is also idle.

"What happened to the mulberry tree you planted earlier?" After talking for a while, Master Tan suddenly asked.

"I'm here today to talk about the mulberry tree!" Ye Xi said with a smile, "I used mulberries to raise some seedlings, looking at the leaves, the method of raising seedlings seems to be working." ”

Previously, she was actually a little worried that although the mulberry tree was good, the seedlings raised by the mulberry might not be able to inherit the advantages of the mother's parent.

However, when I looked at the leaves, it was relatively large, and although the seedlings were not very obvious, I could always see a rough idea.

"I thought about it for a while, there are so many mulberry trees on Master Tan's Zhuangzi, and they have been planted for a few years, if they are dug up and replanted, it is a pity and it takes a lot of work." Ye Xi said.

She said that it was better to use the method of grafting, not only to change the mulberry variety, but also to use the strong root system of the original mulberry tree to supply nutrients.

Grafted a year ago, as long as it can survive, it will be able to thrive next year, and it will not affect next year's silkworm raising.

"You said this grafting method, can it work?"

"You can give it a try, and since there aren't many branches this year, I'll try some first. I will personally help with the grafting, and Master Tan can also let people learn it. ”

"If this method works, it is naturally the best. The places where the mulberry trees are to be planted have already been planted, and it is really tiring to dig up and replant them. ”

Then Master Tan said again, since the method of grafting can be used, those seedlings will be left to Ye Xi to plant by himself.

After talking for a while, Master Tan asked Ye Xi to accompany Tan Yun.

"This kid! Now his body is good, but his temper is very stubborn. It's rare for you to fall in love, but I want you to persuade her. Master Tan sighed.

"Between father and daughter, is there anything you can't say yourself? Why did Master Tan ask me to persuade him? ”

"It's time for her to say goodbye, but she hasn't been happy, saying it's good to stay at home. The matchmaker also came a few times and mentioned some people to her, and some of them I thought were good, but she couldn't look down on any of them.

"Her mother passed away early, and I don't know how to persuade her in this family matter. Maybe there is something in between, but it is better to say. ”

"Has Master Tan ever thought about it, maybe Ah Yun ...... Does she belong to her heart? Ye Xi bit his lip.

She knew that once Tan Yun's leg was healed, the Tan family would definitely say goodbye to Tan Yun.

And others know that there is such a young lady in the Tan family, and she is at a good age, so she will naturally come to the door to propose marriage.
