Looking at He Nan like this, Shu Qingai couldn't help but want to laugh!

Is this person still a capable person who left Mochen to find for himself? Is it reliable? How can a Dionysian eat?

"There are no other industries, but I still have two collaborations with Hua Jinhan, you don't need to worry about these, you just need to help me count the silver every month, if you can't be busy alone in the future, you are looking for a trustworthy person to be your assistant."

He Nan was stunned! No matter how strong he is, he won't play like Shu Qingai!

A woman of Shu Qingai's age, in Beijing, is not out of the door, or out of the second door, either she has a husband and children, or she hides in the boudoir. How could she be so different!

But what does the assistant mean? He said he really didn't understand!

"Madam, the assistant you are talking about, your subordinates really don't understand what they mean, can you explain a thing or two for your subordinates?"

Shu Qingai chuckled, this modern term, I have been here for more than a year, and I still pop up one or two from time to time. Pay more attention in the future!

"It's the person who gives you a hand and helps you do things. In terms of employing people, you make your own decision, I will not interfere by force, and besides, after the mountains are built, I will prepare to cultivate sorghum, and you have to find some workers to do it, whether it is farming or making wine, these people have to choose those who are honest. Especially for the workers in the workshop, the way we make wine must be kept secret, otherwise it will be learned, and the things we make will not be so rare. ”

"Madame, don't worry, your subordinates understand. It's just that those sorghum and other crops are growing out to make wine, will it waste too much time? According to the subordinates, it is better to buy a batch of grain now, and when the grain comes back, the workshop on the mountain side will be built, and then you can start making wine directly. ”

Shu Qingai thought about it for a while before she expressed her concerns again.

"Originally, I thought about it like this, but I don't know when it will rain on this day, and those wells will not produce water, and you must use high-quality water to make liquor, and the water in the river is absolutely impossible. And because of the drought, the price of grain in the Feiyue Dynasty has been raised, I don't know if I can buy grain at this time, whether I can buy the right one, this liquor is mainly aimed at the common people, the price I calculated before must not be higher than thirty taels and one catties, but if you buy grain now, the cost will definitely be much higher. ”

The current price of grain is dozens of times higher than usual, but the wine brewed at this time will definitely increase a lot in price, and it is not the commoner that Shu Qingai wants.

He Nan thought about it, but still said what he thought in his heart.

"Madam, according to the subordinates, this batch of liquor came out, we left a part of it to sell to various prefectures, and the rest were sold to several other trading countries, Madame's expected price is actually completely long, and when the Feiyue Dynasty resumes the price of grain, our wine can be sold at a few prices, high-priced things, for those rich people, they don't care at all, they will only feel that the higher the price, the more it can represent their identity. And the low-priced ones can also be sold for a few taels of silver a catty, after all, at such a price, most ordinary people can occasionally drink a few times, but ordinary people account for the majority, and this amount must be not small. ”

After all, Shu Qingai is not an original ancient person, and compared with He Nan, He Nan understands the situation of this era better.

Thinking that since she was going to hand over the business to him, she only needed to be responsible for developing new products, so she responded decisively.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and I promised to let him participate in this white wine Hua Jinhan, but how to cooperate is between you and him. Presumably after a few days, he will come, these days you first see how many people are needed, whether it is a long-term worker or a subordinate who goes to buy a death deed, you decide. ”

After the words fell, Shu Qingai got up and entered her room, and when she came out again, she already had an extra handful of silver tickets in her hand.

"Here is a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, I will hand it over to you first, you can do it yourself, you only need to show me the account book every month."

Qing humor ate silently, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Congratulations on being gone for a few days and not coming back. Now there is such a man, his own girl, no, his own wife has put all the power in his hands. For some reason, Qingyou's heart was a little sour.

Qingyu is cold, and Shu Qingai didn't notice her abnormality.

In this way, Shu Qingai was developing varieties of liquor at home when he was fine, and He Nan was busy with other things.

The village chief's house in Xinghua Village, since Li Lili's incident, the village chief has never seen their mother and daughter, and occasionally his elderly parents will come to Shu Qingai's house to see him, and his son has not seen him for more than half a year.

The village chief, who had just been able to throw away his crutches and walk on his own, was wandering around in front of his house today.

Although it is not raining now, there is already water in the river, and the people in the village are busy with spring ploughing, even if the watered water has to be carried to the field from the far away river, the villagers are tireless, busy day and night.

The village chief looked at the country road and felt uncomfortable. If he wants to work with this leg, it is simply impossible. It's just that when he thought that Chen Taohua took his daughter to leave him and go to the county to join his son, he felt very bad in his heart.

has been married for decades, and he didn't expect Chen Taohua to be so ruthless.

Just when the village chief looked at the country road leading to the entrance of the village and sighed a few times, Shu Qingai actually came.

Shu Qingai also carried a lot of things in his hand, and seeing Shu Qingai coming to him, the village chief thought of his daughter who was not angry, and felt guilty in his heart!

"Village Chief, I've been back for so long, and I haven't had time to visit you, is this leg still hurting? Did Dr. Yao come to show you recently? ”

Shu Qingai was welcomed into the courtyard by the village chief, and the two sat down under the eaves, Shu Qingai put a large pile of supplements on the table and asked. ”

"Dr. Yao has been here a few times, and this injury is almost healed, and it can be restored to normal after a month of recuperation. I'll have to take it back later, it's all from a village, why are you so polite. ”

"It's the village chief that you and I see outside, these things, grandparents can eat with you, they are old, your leg is not good, you have to make up for it."

Shu Qingai looked at the courtyard, there was no figure of Chen Taohua's mother and daughter, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Their mother and daughter are not there?"

Hearing Shu Qingai's words, the village chief couldn't help but sigh again.

"Hey, let's go! It's a shame! It's just that they don't know how to wake up, and I'm also uncomfortable in my heart, so I don't mention them! Have you come here today? ”

Shu Qingai didn't want to mention the unconscious woman, since the village chief said so, why did she bother to deal with herself.

"That's the case, if it doesn't rain on this day, the harvest of the people in the village will definitely be affected, and my workshop may also start work, and then those people in the village who are doing real work, the village chief can let them go to me, and I will give them the money to start work, after all, they are all from the same village, if they have income, this life will be better."

When the village chief heard this, it turned out to be such a good thing, and he responded again and again, and thanked Shu Qingai again.

"Village chief, during this time, I see that everyone in the village is carrying water from the river for irrigation, and you can't do heavy work with this leg! Otherwise, there will definitely be sequelae in the future, and I will have a job to do when your leg injury is completely healed, and I will have to ask you for help. ”

The village chief said that he was not moved at the moment, it was fake! What kind of thing did your daughter do! Shu Qingai not only doesn't blame him, but also thinks for him everywhere! At this moment, he doesn't know what to say! Out of the red eyes and kept nodding his head to thank him, he was afraid of talking too much, and the choked voice was even more obvious.

"Also, I need to harvest sorghum when the time comes, and the people in the village are willing, they can grow some more, and they can sell it to me when the time comes, and they won't have to worry about sales. They are all collected according to the price of the grain store in the town, and the village chief can notify everyone at that time. ”

Seeing the village chief's appearance, Shu Qingai hurriedly diverted the topic.

Hearing Shu Qingai say this, the village chief nodded again and again with joy.

Now the price of sorghum is also 30 wen per catty! And sorghum is more drought-tolerant than rice, and now the rice in the village is in vain, even if they only carry a load of water from the river to the field, but when it falls, the cracks in the field will quickly suck the water in!

If Shu Qingai wants to harvest sorghum, this is really a great thing.

Another half a month passed, and the workshops and cellars on the mountain side were built, and the purchased land was also picked up by the villagers. The village chief was invited by Shu Qing Aiqing to manage the more than 100 acres of sorghum land, which is actually the management of the villagers who farm there.

In order to facilitate irrigation, Shu Qingai thought hard again, found a carpenter to experiment at home every day, and finally made the waterwheel!

This waterwheel came out in Xinghua Village, and the nearby villagers came to watch!

Looking at that miraculous thing, under the impetus of the water, the water in the river was transported to the canal, and the big guy cheered!

"Shu Niangzi, you have done a great thing for these mud legs! Our paddy fields can finally be saved! ”

Several village women surrounded Shu Qingai, so excited that they almost wiped their tears!

Shu Qingai watched the waterwheel spin rapidly, and couldn't help but be happy! It's going to cost her a lot of brains! In her previous life, she had only seen it a few times when she was traveling, but fortunately, with her vague memories and the continuous experiments with the carpenter, she finally succeeded!

"I've already asked people to go to Ming'an Mansion to sell grain seeds, and it may arrive in a few days, and everyone will come to me to get them for free." It's only the end of March, so you can go back and dig up the fields as soon as possible, and then you will be able to plant seedlings. ”

Shu Qingai's shout, and suddenly everyone was boiling again! I didn't watch the excitement, hurried home, and went to my own field with hoes.

"Madam, are the drawings of this waterwheel available?"

He Nan looked at this waterwheel, and admired Shu Qingai even more! He suddenly had an idea in his mind, this thing had to be sent to his own prince! When the time comes, it will be publicized in the flying over the royal city, and it will be a good thing for the people and the country!

"Yes, I'll give it to you when I get back."

Shu Qingai didn't ask him what the use was, and just agreed.

In the capital, when Li Mochen received He Nan's letter, it happened to be the waterwheel construction drawing that Shu Qingai gave to He Nan.

Looking at the introduction above, the corners of Li Mochen's mouth rose, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Seeing this, a few guards around him couldn't help but secretly glance at each other, it seems that this letter is related to the county lord of Hanhe!

Because of the drought, many large families around Qingfeng Town sold their fields and took their families to other places. Shu Qingai got the news and directly asked He Nan to buy the fields.

When the land deed of more than 500 acres is in his hand, Shu Qingai has a sense of security! Her landlord's dream finally came true.
