The trip to Jiangnan soon began, although Shen Shiliu was a little worried about the two children when she left home, she was even more worried that she and Du Xuanmo were gone, and the two monkey children at home were going to heaven!

"You two have to be obedient, I can tell you Aunt Cucumber, if you don't obey, you will be beaten directly, even if you find grandma, it will not be good!" Shen Shimei was frightened, this time the two of them took Xiao Tie and Mancang away, and the cucumber stayed behind to take care of the child.

Du Ruoyao stuck out her tongue and said, "I know my mother, I won't get into trouble!" ”

Shen Shiliu laughed: "The more you say that, the more I feel uneasy!" ”

Du Ruoyao was amused, and then said, "Mother, you and your father have to come back early!" ”

Shen Shiliu touched Ruoyao's little head, and knew that the child would definitely miss his mother, so he said: "When my mother finishes her errands, I will bring you delicious food and fun, you have to take care of your younger brother at home, and when Aunt Wen's school is done, you will also go to the school together, don't make Mr. angry, Mr. is your father's teacher, if you mess with it, your father will definitely clean you up, you know?" ”

Du Ruoyao nodded, although she was naughty and mischievous on weekdays, she was still sensible at this time.

Jingwen said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry at home, I'm here, the housekeeper at home is also in charge, there will be nothing wrong!" ”

Shen Shiliu looked at Fushun, and Fushun nodded.

Du Jingxi was calm and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, I will take care of my sister." The appearance of a small ghost directly made Du Xuanmo laugh, and Jingxi's personality became more and more like him.

Shen Shiliu and Du Xuanmo gave everything they should have instructed and got into the carriage. Sitting in the carriage, Shen Shimei was still a little uneasy, and Du Xuanmo smiled and said, "If you are not at ease, don't go to Jiangnan." ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Shiliu hurriedly sat down and said, "It's not that I'm not worried, it's not a big difference whether I have anything to do at home or not, I'm just a little excited that I haven't gone out for a long time." ”

Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Shiliu and smiled lightly, Shen Shiliu still likes to come out to relax.

The land route was displayed along the way, and then Shen Pomegranate found that the temperature was getting higher and higher, and then it was changed to a land and water boat.

"Seasick?" Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo's face not very good-looking, she was actually a little seasick, but it was better to blow the breeze on the water.

Du Xuanmo rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly: "It's really been too long to be pampered in Kyoto City." ”

Xiao Tie was also cowardly, confused in the corner. Shen Shimei took out a food box, which contained the prepared sauce plums, which was originally to prevent the carriage from being bumpy and nauseous, but now it is used.

Shen Pomegranate stuffed one into Xiao Tie's mouth, Du Xuanmo took it and ate one, he finally felt no longer disgusting, looked outside the boat, Du Xuanmo smiled: "Come, look outside." ”

Shen Pomegranate leaned over, lifted the curtain, and smiled.

"This is the beauty of Jiangnan?" Shen Shiliu said that she had traveled to Hangzhou and Suzhou in her previous life, but because she had incorporated many modern elements, she was far from seeing the scenery in front of her, which made people feel more beautiful in the world.

Shen Pomegranate has heard that Jiangnan is a good place since he was a child, and the fish and rice are fragrant everywhere. At this time, the scenery in front of him also made Shen Shiliu understand why the literati and writers of the past dynasties were able to flourish in poetry as soon as they arrived here, leaving so many popular good poems.

"Is it pretty?" Du Xuanmo asked Shen Shimei with a smile, he was also the first time to come to this place, and he used to go out to some disaster areas, so he couldn't see the good scenery here.

Shen Shiliu nodded, it was indeed good-looking.

"Are we almost there? Where do you stay? Shen Shiliu asked.

Du Xuanmo said with a smile: "I should have settled here, but you didn't want to go to this place, so you changed your plan." ”

"Oh." Shen Shiliu nodded, anyway, with Du Xuanmo, she would just follow, she didn't have to worry about it.

I don't know when the boat went again, Shen Shimei was so tired that he fell asleep directly on the boat, and when he woke up again, the boat also happened to dock.

"Awake? It's just time to get to the place. Du Xuanmo got out of the car first, and then took Shen Shimei next, Xiao Tie and Mancang carried their luggage, and then a few people turned the carriage and continued to walk.

It was almost dark before the carriage stopped, and Shen Shimei got out of the carriage, stunned, and looked at it, it was desolate.

"...... this?" Shen Pomegranate thought that the pavilions and pavilions were picturesque, but it turned out that there was a piece in front of him, like a high slope of loess.

Du Xuanmo smiled, pointed to the wooden house next to him, and said, "Aren't you here to study farming?" There's a wasteland in front of you, just waiting for you to study! ”

Du Xuanmo had people build wooden houses here earlier, and in addition to the ones they lived, there were a few more, which were reserved for the people hired to farm in the future.

Shen Shiliu didn't expect Du Xuanmo to implement her ideas so thoroughly, and then began to live in the farmland.

It's all here, Shen Shimei didn't think that he was just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and he still had to do business.

"Someone will arrange the manpower tomorrow, and you can toss as much as you want when the time comes." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "What about you, you come to inspect it, you can't be in this place, right?" ”

Du Xuanmo said with a smile: "There is nothing bad here, these Jiangnan officials are full of fat one by one, and it is time for them to move around." ”

That night, everyone sorted out their bags first, Shen Pomegranate and Du Xuanmo also went to bed early, and when they woke up the next day, they found that they had been exposed to the sun for three days!

"It's broken, I'm up late." Shen Shiliu got up and hurriedly washed his face and made up, but Du Xuanmo got up early, sat on the edge of the bed with a book and watched.

Du Xuanmo is already a habit of getting up early, and his biological clock is more accurate than a rooster's crow.

As soon as Shen Pomegranate finished cleaning up, someone happened to come outside.

"Madam, I'm the steward here, Madame just teach me the old money." It was a fresh face who was in charge of the farmland here, and he had already found the manpower to start work at any time.

Shen Shiliu nodded and said, "Okay, everyone is ready?" ”

"It's all right, if Madame has any work, just tell me!" Old Qian said.

Shen Shiliu looked at the terrain, it is not easy to open up the wasteland, after weeding, the land should also be loosened, the depth should not be too shallow, otherwise the seedlings will not live long.

"Let's start pulling the weeds and removing the roots!" Shen Shiliu said, these are all hard work, it would be good to have someone to do it, and she would have to think about loosening the soil later.

Lao Qian asked people to take tools to work, but Shen Shiliu called Lao Qian over and had something to ask.

"Madame, what's the matter?" Old Qian asked.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Something, I want to ask you, can I get some dung?" ”

"Big? Madame wants to make fat? Old Qian asked.

"Yes!" Shen Shimei said, the crops are a flower, and they all rely on dung to be in charge!

Lao Qian nodded and said, "If you can get it, you can get it, but we don't need dung water here!" ”

Shen Shiliu wondered: "Why? ”

Lao Qian said: "It's easy to grow maggots, and the crops will be gnawed!" ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he thought about it and said, "That's okay, get a car first!" ”

Lao Qian saw that Shen Pomegranate must be dung, so he just did it.

Shen Shiliu didn't need to do these jobs himself, seeing that everyone was pulling weeds, Shen Shiliu felt that this time next year, it would be all golden wheat fields.

Du Xuanmo read the book for a morning, and Shen Shimei made some light tea and light rice at noon, and brought out all the workers' shares.

"I guess I'm going to get busy after eating." Du Xuanmo said.

"What's up to you?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Du Xuanmo smiled: "You'll know in a while." ”

After eating, Shen Pomegranate wanted to take a nap, but before he could finish digesting it, someone from the wooden house came to visit.

Shen Shiliu looked over and couldn't help but speak: "There are so many carriages, how many people are here?" ”

Du Xuanmo said with a smile: "How many trade roads and waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are in charge of the imperial court, if these people don't come, they won't have to fish in the future!" ”

Shen Shiliu listened unconsciously, and then said, "Are they trying to bribe you?" ”

"There must be bribes, but I won't take them!" Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "It's right if you don't accept it, you have a short hand, and you accept their bribes, how to set up the score in the future!" ”

Du Xuanmo smiled: "I don't accept it, because I want to be a pure minister, and when our grain road is built, I don't care about their three melons and two dates!" ”

Shen Shiliu raised her eyebrows, she loves to hear this! Now that Han Shuliang has begun to toss food, some shops have begun to open, and Zheng Erzhu is also taking care of it room by room, it should be possible to see the benefits soon.

There were a lot of people coming down from the carriage here, and Shen Shiliu didn't want to affect their deliberations here, so she went to find the workers first, she had something to dig.

The workers dug a big pit in the ground, and Shen Shiliu asked him to put it on with an iron plate, and when he turned around, he saw that the old money had returned.

Lao Qian walked all the way, "fragrant for ten miles", as soon as he entered this wasteland, Shen pomegranate smelled the smell of "gold".

"What does this smell like?" Some of the officials who came had a sensitive nose and had already asked about the taste.

"How come there's a dung truck here? Who got it? Someone else said.

Shen Shiliu trotted all the way, and said as he ran: "I'm sorry, I let you get it!" ”

Watching Shen Pomegranate running over, everyone was confused, I don't know what this woman is doing, could it be the maid brought by Master Du?

Shen Pomegranate ran over, looked at the light, and then directly asked the coachman to unload the dung to the dug place.

"Madam, what are you going to do with this thing?" Old Qian couldn't understand it.

Shen Shiliu smiled and said, you will know in a while!

The workers put firewood under the iron plate, Shen Pomegranate was a little fired, and Lao Qian was a little dumbfounded.

"Madam, this ......" Old Qian had a bad premonition.

Shen Shiliu said with a smile: "Roasted dung, I originally wanted to dry it, but this season is not good, if you want to pick up this land quickly, you have to use this method!" ”

The fire under the iron plate was burning, and soon the wasteland was "fragrant".

Du Xuanmo sat in the wooden house and discussed with the officials, and also found that the stench was a little too lethal.

The officials sitting down looked at Du Xuanmo and calmed down, they didn't dare to be mad if they wanted to, they only prayed that Du Xuanmo would speak quickly, and they would leave quickly after speaking.

Du Xuanmo didn't want these people to be tortured here, so he said: "Let's go here today, and the debriefing will continue tomorrow, and the adults will go back first." ”

Everyone felt that this sentence was like a holy decree, and they hurried away one by one with their own things, for fear that they would go slow and think on the spot!
