Yang Qiaoyue went home from Nanzhuang and had dinner with the Lu family in Dongxi Courtyard.

Yang Jia came back with the Ya and came directly to Dongxi Courtyard, he has been coming frequently recently, and the Lu family is not surprised.

Prepare the dishes and chopsticks and wait for him.

"Why did the master go down so late today, did you encounter anything difficult to deal with?" Lu asked casually.

"No, I looked at the county governance of Yan County, and I wanted to find a solution to the predicament of Yan County, but I missed the time."

Yang Jia sat down and saw that the dishes were cold, "If I come back late in the future, you don't have to wait for me, you eat first." ”

Lu Shi didn't respond to this, how could anyone not wait for her husband to eat, and she was usually at home for this meal a day.

She knew that her husband had been worried about this matter for the past few days, "Is there a way to find it?" ”

Yang Jiapei shook his head regretfully.

Yang Qiaoyue didn't make a sound to disturb on the side, and she was very relieved to see that her parents were already getting along very well.

Her prejudice against her eccentric official father has also faded a lot, and the death of her grandmother has dissolved most of the resentment in her heart.

The family that broke the bones and still had tendons attached to it was prosperous, and only the eccentric official father was good, and the mother and brothers could be better.

From this point of view, if she can solve the problem of Yan County, she will do her best.

Seeing Yang Qiaoyue's distraction, Yang Jiabei suddenly asked, "Yue'er, I heard that the rice seedlings in the black soil field have grown?" ”

Yang Qiaoyue came back to her senses and said lightly, "Grow out." ”

The atmosphere of the father and daughter was a little awkward, and Yang Qiaoyue didn't take the initiative to say more.

Yang Qiaoyue secretly thought, fortunately, Eun didn't want to come over and stayed in the room to eat, and she probably didn't dare to pick up dishes in this atmosphere.

The room was very quiet, except for the sound of picking up vegetables and chewing.

By the end of dinner, Yang Jiapei didn't pull down his face and asked his daughter if there was a way to make the barren land in Yan County produce food.

Yang Qiaoyue finished eating and left Dongxi Courtyard.

Lu Shi looked at Yang Jiapei, who had a bitter face, "Master, do you want to ask Yue'er Yan County about farming?" ”

Yang Jia nodded and admitted that he was honest in front of his wife, but on his daughter's side, she was scared before.

"Why don't I ask the girl tomorrow?" Lu asked tentatively.

Yang Jia listened to his wife's initiative to mention it, and nodded hurriedly: "This relationship is good, you can help me ask her, is there any way to produce other barren land in Yan County like Nanzhuang or black soil." ”

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and saw that Yang Jia was so reactive, "Master, you won't be like the clan uncles, scare that girl." ”

"Ahem!" Yang Jiabei coughed lightly, and said stiffly, "How come, I'm just busy with official business, I forgot to ask just now, you remember tomorrow." ”

Lu Shi saw that he was serious and believed it.

The next morning, she went to ask Yang Qiaoyue about this, and Yang Qiaoyue knew that her father asked her mother to ask.

Tell her that she can plant, but that the land needs to be improved, not just dung, but also special fertilizers and seeds that she needs to buy to survive.

In the next two days, the Lu family became the mouthpiece of their father and daughter.

Yang Jiabei asked Lu Shi to ask Yang Qiaoyue what kind of fertilizer and seeds she was, and how much money was needed for an acre of land.

He also told him Yang Qiaoyue's answer that one acre of land would cost about two coins of silver, two packs of fertilizer and two packs of high-yield grain.

I asked again, what is the approximate yield? Can we solve the current food and clothing of the people in Yan County? If the government purchases and distributes it to the poor, will it be cheaper to pay for food in the coming year......

Early in the morning of the third day, Yang Qiaoyue came to ask An Shi Lu Shi a series of questions.

Yang Qiaoyue listened to so many questions, and looked at her mother suspiciously: "Mother, you asked for your father, right?" This is not something that can be explained in a few simple words, if you really want to understand, you should go to Nanzhuang to take a look at it. ”

On the same day, Yang Jiapei took the household warden to Nanzhuang to inspect and understand the situation.

Yang Qiaoyue was busy in the yard for a few minutes, planning to try to plant some grapes, and when she saw Yang Jia coming with them outside the door, she stopped what she was doing.

"Ah Qiu went and fetched two bags of fertilizer and grain seeds."

"Yes, Miss."

Yang Qiaoyue went out to greet her and blessed her body, "Father." ”

"Well, come over today to see the fertilizers and grains you mentioned." Yang Jiapei's face was soft, and in front of outsiders, his daughter still saved him enough face.

Then, Guan Qiu came out with two cloth bags.

Yang Qiaoyue opened it casually and explained the fertilizer and grain seeds, and the fertilizer also exuded a faint smell.

Yang Jiapei asked: "The government wants to purchase fertilizers and grain seeds, can you teach the people how to farm the land?" We must plant grain in the spring of this year, and if we don't produce grain again, the life of the common people in winter may be even more difficult. ”

"We don't have that much time." Yang Qiaoyue replied, "But you can teach the people of your county government, and you will spread it, and then come to Nanzhuang when you encounter problems, which is more efficient." ”

Yang Jiabei nodded, it is indeed better to do this, otherwise he would have nothing to do if he has so many county officials.

"It's two coins and two packs, isn't it? Can it be cheaper if you buy it at one time in the yamen? The warden of the household who followed behind him asked.

Yang Qiaoyue's face was flat, and she looked at the other party: "How much do adults think is appropriate?" ”

The warden was stunned, this tone was obviously not negotiating, and the two coins were definitely not high for producing food from barren land.

"Miss Yang smiled, and the official felt that the two coins were very suitable." The warden wiped her forehead, this little girl is too fierce.

Yang Jiapei roughly calculated, one acre of land is two dollars, and there are thousands of landed farmers in Yan County, and a few acres of land per household is tens of thousands of acres.

One acre of land is two dollars, ten acres of land is two taels, if it is funded by the government according to his original idea, it will be tens of thousands of taels.

Yan County has been suffering from famine for many years, and there is not much money at all for households, which makes me worried.

Yang Jiapei suddenly looked at Yang Qiaoyue and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Yang Qiaoyue guessed how the financial resources of the county government could support such a large expenditure in Yan County.

"Nanzhuang will take advantage of the trend to open a grain seed shop, specializing in selling high-yield grain seeds and fertilizers, and I will sell it for three yuan. I have an immature suggestion that the yamen only help the peasant households who are really poor and have no money to buy grain seeds and fertilizers, so that they can pay for the grain harvested every year. For those who can afford to buy, they should be allowed to take responsibility for themselves, especially the squires of large land, so that the financial resources of the county government can also support it. ”

The housekeeper was the first to clap his hands, and was emotional: "So good, so good!" ”

He's been worried about money just now, but it's hard to talk about it directly.

Yang Jiapei immediately felt that it was feasible, and this arrangement was more reasonable.

The yamen decided to buy 2,000 bales of grain and fertilizer in the first batch, which could meet the needs of 1,000 households, and spent 200 taels.

Yang Qiaoyue asked them to wait for the grain shop to open a few days before coming over and moving, and then officially announce the matter.

After Yang Jia and them left, Yang Qiaoyue immediately arranged for Guan Zeng to go out to find a large and wide yard and rent it.

Guan Zeng found a wide and large empty Zhuangzi in the back street of the world's agricultural vegetables, with a few acres of houses dedicated to storing things, and it was also rented for ten taels for two years.

She arranged this business in Nanzhuang, because it involved an eccentric official father, and there was a yamen to buy it, and there would be trouble in the future under the Yang family.

In the past two days, Yang Qiaoyue made people pretend to transport things into the city from outside the city without stopping, and at the same time took grain seeds and fertilizers through the material space.

In this way, you can hide people's eyes and ears, otherwise so many things will appear out of thin air, and being targeted will cause trouble.

It took 30,000 seconds one after another to demarcate 4,000 packs of grain and 4,000 packs of fertilizer from the space, half of which were given to the yamen and half were kept for sale.

A day later, the world's grain shop opened.
