Chapter 409: Speculation

Sure enough, Cui Xiu's efforts didn't last long, and his purpose was exposed.

Cui Qingyuan stared at his eldest nephew a little speechlessly, fortunately this is not his son, otherwise, he would have to discount his two legs!

However, thinking about the pie painted by Cui Xiu and a series of benefits after building a big ship, Cui Qingyuan fell into deep thought.

He is not Cui Xiu, who built a big ship to go to sea for fun.

Cui Qingyuan thought more and more comprehensively.

He even took out a map and slowly moved his fingers along the coastline of Nam Viet Province.

The more I watched, the more thrilling and surprising I felt.

After thinking about it, Cui Qingyuan wrote a letter overnight and sent it out.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know that the third child was carrying grain to Nanyue Mansion.

At this time, she was in the Zhuangzi, watching the people dig out the sweet potatoes, put them in baskets, and then weigh them in baskets.

For the current sweet potatoes, Ning Pengpeng actually doesn't like to eat them very much.

Compared with the smoked potatoes and sweet potatoes that I ate in the future, they are all small and sweet.

Today's sweet potatoes are bigger than the fists of adult men, and the taste is naturally not as delicious as those of modern sweet potatoes that have been cultivated countless times.

One sweet potato can boil a large pot.

Of course, the question of whether it is delicious or not is only for Ning Pengpeng alone.

Ordinary people, as long as they can eat a full stomach, who cares about whether it is delicious or not?

If the Ning family was so poor before, Ning Pengpeng naturally wouldn't care.

Now the family is not without conditions, so this time the sweet potatoes dug up in the Zhuangzi, Ning Pengpeng is ready to make all the vermicelli.

Because after planting sweet potatoes in Zhuangzi, the villages around Zhuangzi didn't notice anything at first.

Moreover, he also sympathized with the tenants in Zhuangzi who were forced to plant these crops.

After all, if you don't have food the next year, you're going to be hungry!

However, after planting high-yield sweet potatoes in the first year, no matter how much the people in the Zhuangzi were prepared, they couldn't stand the surrounding villagers, so they secretly followed and learned to plant these crops.

If nothing else, just look at the high yield of this crop, they have to plant it!

came and went, and the mothers-in-law in the village were all people with mothers' families.

With such a news, how can there be any reason not to go to my mother's side?

As a result, in those villages on the outskirts of Mingzhou Prefecture, almost every household grows sweet potatoes.

There are many people who plant this thing, so it is naturally worthless.

When the rich eat it, they eat it fresh.

Then I left it behind and never touched it again.

However, because of the existence of sweet potatoes, there are many fewer people who starve to death, which can be regarded as saving many lives.

After Ning Pengpeng heard that the villages around Zhuangzi had begun to plant a large number of sweet potatoes, he thought about it and asked Zhuangtou to start planting two crops of rice in the fertile fields in Zhuangzi starting next year.

If you don't have enough sweet potatoes to make vermicelli, you can just collect them directly from the villagers.

In this way, we can grow more food at home.

And those villagers can also give their families more income because they grow sweet potatoes.

Of course, these villagers are not stupid enough to use the fertile land to grow sweet potatoes, but only to plant sweet potatoes on dry land and wasteland.

Compared to low-yield beans, sweet potatoes yield much more!

In addition, if the rice produced in the fertile fields was sold after paying the tax, the family would have to go hungry.

Now, even if they sell the rest of the rice and have sweet potatoes, they don't have to go hungry.

There are more and more people who grow naturally.

With so many people planting sweet potatoes, there is no need for Ning Pengpeng to use all the fertile fields in the Zhuangzi to grow sweet potatoes.

In the final analysis, no matter whether sweet potatoes are delicious or not, they can't be used as staple foods.

Either way, rice is king.

In modern times, Ning Pengpeng is an authentic southerner, the kind who panics if he doesn't eat rice for a day.

The flour in the north is, for her, at most, used for meals.

Hearing that the old lady asked Zhuangzi to plant rice again, Zhuangtou's heart was finally persuaded by this high-yield crop, like a galloping horse, and it was difficult to calm down.

He couldn't understand the old lady's intentions at all, nor did he understand the old lady's thoughts.

When he first planted this sweet potato, his heart refused.

However, under the master's order, even if the year's harvest is ruined, he cannot complain!

But now, obviously sweet potatoes can be so high-yielding, why did the old lady switch to planting rice again?

Hey, in the final analysis, they are subordinates, and they can do whatever the master tells them to do, and they don't have to think too much.

Because, even if you have too many ideas, it's useless!

Ning Pengpeng didn't know how many thoughts flashed in Zhuang Tou's heart, and after ordering Zhuang Tou, she went to see Ning Yongye and a few of them first.

After asking them about their current homework, they took Qing Niang back to the house.

As soon as I returned home, I saw Steward Jiang coming over with a stack of invitations and placing them in front of Ning Pengpeng.

Ning Pengpeng knew that these invitations were estimated to be the number of Steward Jiang's screening!

Because after the Ning family and the Cui family in the capital got married, the invitations originally sent to the Ning family suddenly skyrocketed.

It's just that Ning Pengpeng won't go if she can, some invitations are indeed happy events, so she asked Steward Jiang to sort out the gift list and send it over.

The courtesy is not enough, so that people can't find mistakes.

After all, for some banquets of eating and drinking, Ning Pengpeng didn't go on the grounds of old age, so he couldn't say that people were old and wrong, right?

And the Ning family, except for Ning Youxi, the few Miss Sun are all young, so it is not suitable to go to the banquet alone.

The only suitable Ning Youxi is already engaged again, and now she is not in Mingzhou Mansion, even if she wants to invite her, she can't be invited!

For this reason, these rich and noble families in the city are very aggrieved.

This old lady Ning heard that she has four sons, and there are so many grandchildren, why didn't she bring a daughter-in-law to serve by her side?

If Mrs. Ning's daughters-in-law were by her side, their invitations would not have to be helpless if Mrs. Ning was not invited!

At least, there are still a few daughters-in-law of Old Madam Ning who can go to the banquet, and they won't be so helpless!

Because Ning Pengpeng did not have a daughter-in-law to serve her, those ladies in Mingzhou Mansion privately speculated whether it was because Mrs. Ning was too domineering that she would press several daughters-in-law in the countryside and not let them follow?

Some people also feel that it is very likely that the Ning family is now prosperous, and those daughters-in-law married in the countryside will definitely not be able to get on the stage.

Now, Mrs. Ning must be looking for a daughter-in-law for her sons in the city, so she won't bring those from the countryside to Mingzhou Mansion.

Anyway, there are all kinds of speculations, because of these speculations, the Liu family, the Wang family and Zhao Juan in Anzhen have no less sneezes.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know, if he knew, he would definitely be shouting wrong.

Although he didn't have much affection for these daughters-in-law, he never thought that because the Ning family was developed, he would let his sons dump their wives and marry new people.
