"Yes, ma'am."

"Madam, this time we have brought ten ox carts of things, and they have been sent to the workshop."

"Madam, the old slave brought seven ox carts this time and sent them to the workshop."

"Madam, I also sent a nine-ox cart to the workshop."

……

Li Shulan nodded when she heard this, "You will continue to arrange for people to send the rest over, and in the early spring of next year, you will continue to arrange for the planting of these crops, the more the better, and you can plant less rice and wheat." ”

In other words, when they heard this request before, these old tenants present may not be able to accept it, knowing that food is the lifeblood of all ordinary people.

Now, after a year of planting, they know all too well how impressive the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes can be.

What's more, these seemingly simple crops can not only be used as staple food but also as vegetable ingredients, and can also be made into various snacks.

In this regard, neither rice nor wheat can be compared with these crops.

Hearing Li Shulan's arrangement, no one refused.

They all nodded in agreement.

Of course, in addition to the big Zhuangzi purchased this year, the head of the Zhuangzi is an old man in his fifties.

At this time, his weathered old face showed confusion.

Obviously, I don't understand what the crops are said by my wife and the other farmers.

"He Zhuangtou~"

"The old slave is here."

Old man He hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "I don't know what Madame commands?" ”

Li Shulan asked softly, "I don't know how our Zhuangzi harvest is?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, this harvest is about 3,000 catties, and the old slave brought seven oxen carts for food this time, and I'm afraid the rest will need to go two or three more times.

There are also many other beans and vegetables and poultry, and the old slave will arrange for people to continue to deliver them. ”

"Hmm."

Li Shulan was not surprised to hear these harvests.

Although there are about 300 acres of fields, the harvest of rice and wheat is not high.

So she instructed: "In the early spring of next year, we will switch to planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as other things that can be planted." ”

"Husband, ma'am, what are sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

He Laohan looked confused.

I couldn't help but worry, "Madam, don't we all grow rice and wheat?" ”

"Looks like you didn't pay much attention to it just now."

Li Shulan smiled.

looked at Old Man Gu and ordered, "Gu Zhuangtou, you tell He Zhuangtou about this, lest he don't believe what I say." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Old man Gu couldn't help but laugh along.

The other bankers smiled as well.

When they received the arrangement from their wife, they were also very reluctant, but they couldn't oppose their wife's decision.

Reluctantly, I had to pinch my nose and plant various crops arranged by my wife.

Fortunately, there were not many things that needed to be planted at that time, and there was no need to plant them in good fields, so everyone reluctantly accepted this arrangement.

None of them imagined that seemingly strange crops could be grown with such high yields.

In particular, they have all eaten a variety of delicacies made with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Tenants, who had lived by growing rice and wheat all their lives, thoroughly embraced the new varieties of crops.

Thereupon.

In several villages, they spoke out one after another, telling He Zhuangtou about the imported crops.

Including how to grow, what is the yield, at least two crops can be planted a year, how to make delicious food, etc......

The more Old Man He listened, the more surprised he became.

There was some doubt in his heart, but his reason told him that these people in front of him should not lie to him.

Seeing his expression, everyone present knew that he was skeptical.

"Go back, you go to the West Street workshop with everyone."

Li Shulan said softly: "You go and see those things for yourself, and by the way, taste what the food made of sweet potatoes and potatoes tastes."

Next year I will prepare all the fields to be planted with these crops, and I hope that you will not go against the sun, and then someone will go to the farms to inspect the yield, and if you disappoint these adults, I am afraid that they will blame you. ”

"Don't dare!"

"Madame, don't worry, the old slave will not do such a thing."

"The old slave obeys Madame's arrangement."

"We will not disappoint Madame."

……

One by one, they immediately got up and responded with a serious expression.

Including He Laohan did not dare to object.

Li Shulan also discussed with these village leaders about the planting plan and poultry raising for tomorrow's spring ploughing.

After everything was arranged, let these people go to the West Street workshop.

The West Street Workshop has expanded a lot, and these Zhuang Heads who come from afar spend the night in the West Street Workshop every time.

With several caravans rushing back from all over the place.

Li Shulan continued to be busy.

She got busy until the wax moon.

Next is the year-end inventory......

When she really stopped, it was approaching the end of the year.

"Madame has lost a lot of weight."

Aunt Xiyu looked distressed, "Madam, let them deal with the things that should be handled by the steward, why should Mrs. do it herself." ”

"Don't worry, at the end of the year, there are more things."

Li Shulan smiled and didn't care, "When everything is on track next year, it can be handed over to the stewards to solve, and then I only need to check the account books."

Rest assured, my aunt is in good health. ”

"I hope so."

Aunt Xiyu thought that the coming year would be autumn, and the eldest son and the second son participated in the township test.

When the time comes, Madame will not be able to be busy.

"Madame~"

Mo Xuan opened the curtain and entered, saluting, "Madam, Mrs. Xiao of the Hou Mansion is here." ”

"Why did you come here at this time?"

Li Shulan was stunned and looked at Aunt Xiyu, "Do we have an invitation from the Hou Mansion?" ”

"Nope."

Aunt Xiyu shook her head, "There should be something urgent, otherwise Mrs. Xiao wouldn't have come to the door in such a hurry." ”

"That's just as well."

Li Shulan hurriedly got up, "Let's go, let's go and welcome Mrs. Xiao in." ”

As soon as the master and servant arrived in the front yard, they met the mother and daughter who came hand in hand.

They greeted each other when they met.

Under the leadership of Li Shulan, they came to the living room of the main courtyard.

"It's cold, and it's too sinful to go out at this time."

Li Shulan asked bluntly, "Why did the lady and the county lord come here at this time?" ”

"I haven't come to talk to you in a few days."

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Xi'er, this girl is making a fuss about going out again, so I have to bring her over to talk to you." ”

"Mother, didn't I accompany you to see Aunt Lan."

The county lord looked unhappy, "Why am I making a fuss again, can't I go out?" ”

"You, why don't you look like you can't grow up?"

Mrs. Xiao showed helplessness, "I'm not afraid to call you Aunt Lan to laugh at you." ”

"I'm not afraid."

The county lord smiled brightly at Li Shulan, "Aunt Lan, you won't be bored with me, will you?" ”

"The county lord is joking, how can I be tired of you."

Li Shulan responded with a smile, "I also want to thank you for your guidance on Rong'er Danqing and chess skills." ”

I thought that there was a 'snatching of relatives', and the county lord would be embarrassed to come to the door again.

Who knew that people were like nothing, after following Mrs. Xiao once.

will run to the door every once in a while, although they don't pester Su Wenxi anymore, but they revolve around their mother and daughter, as if they are the children of relatives.

After coming and going, the Su family was also used to it and no longer took it seriously.
