Chapter 58: A New Partner
"I tell you, I admire those who can serve the country and the people, and I have always longed for those heroes who can fight on the battlefield! When I was a child, my grandfather used to tell me heroic stories, and I thought I could go to war in the future! ”
Xie Ying began to talk to Wei Ruo about her ideals.
followed Xie Ying flattened her mouth, full of regret and helplessness: "It's a pity, I'm a girl, I only learned when I grew up that there are many things that girls can't do, let alone go to the battlefield, and there are a bunch of rules for even going out." ”
Wei Ruo laughed out loud. This eldest lady of the Xie family is really interesting, and she is indeed different from ordinary boudoir women!
"What are you laughing at?" Xie Ying asked.
"I'm not laughing, I'm surprised! I agree with you, if you want to cultivate the land in the south of the city, you have to get the consent of your parents, otherwise you can't go out easily. Even if my parents agreed, I had to take my grandmother with me every time I went out. ”
"But you still did a career, I heard my mother say that after you succeeded, you can help the people in the city, so that more people can eat, and the credit is the same as the soldiers who guard the border and defend the country!"
Xie Ying admires such people the most!
"If you like, you can get involved." Wei Ruo suggested.
"Can I do it too?" Xie Yinghu said suspiciously.
"Naturally, there is still a lot of vacant land in the south of the city where you can grow things."
"But isn't the wasteland in the south of the city cultivated mainly for landless peasants?" Xie Ying asked.
"Most of the wasteland in the south of the city was given to landless farmers and unemployed fishermen, but because of their limited cultivation costs, they were given better terrain, close to official roads or near water sources, or relatively flat terrain. Places with more complex terrain are not allocated. ”
"Can crops be grown in places with difficult terrain?" Xie Ying asked.
"Yes, but it's not suitable for growing crops like rice, so the labor cost and maintenance cost are too high, we can grow bamboo, mushrooms, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and even medicinal herbs."
Wei Ruo looked at Xie Ying, who was listening carefully in front of him, and an idea had already brewed in his mind.
Wei Ruo continued to say to Xie Ying: "If you are really interested, we can partner. ”
"Partnership?" Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo curiously.
"You are not good at farming, and although I am good at doing this, my freedom and time in the Wei family are limited, and the people under my hands are also limited, if we cooperate, we can learn from each other's strengths. How about we divide the money we earn in proportion to our efforts? ”
"I don't like growing things, but I think you're interesting!" Xie Ying was full of interest.
Xie Ying was spoiled by her grandparents and parents since she was a child, and she was not short of money to spend on weekdays, but she was full of novelty about making money by herself.
Especially now that she has a different perspective on planting.
"So what do you think we should plant?" Xie Ying asked.
"You can grow some medicinal materials, because of the war, the consumption of medicinal materials is very large, the price of medicinal materials in the city has been high, we can plant medicinal materials and sell them, we can make money, if the army needs it, we can provide it to the army at cost price, to ensure that the army will not lack life-saving medicine." Wei Ruo suggested.
"That's good! Not only can you make money, but you can also help the fighters! Xie Ying was even more interested, and even eager to try.
"If you agree, not only do you have to talk to the county government, but you also have to send people to work in the fields, and there are not a lot of things to be busy." Wei Ruo reminded.
"Then you still have to say? I'm not going to mess around with you! I, Xie Ying, will make it big if I want to! You wait, I'll tell my mother to go in a moment! If my mother doesn't agree, I'll write to my grandfather! Xie Ying replied domineeringly.
Xie Ying is serious.
"In addition, I have another condition, you need to help me keep these things secret when we work together, and you can't tell outsiders or anyone in my family." Wei Ruo said.
"Why? If you don't talk about outsiders, why don't you make it in your own family? Xie Ying wondered.
"What if my sister wants to get involved after my family finds out?" Wei Ruo asked.
"No, I don't like her, she's so troublesome, as if the wind blows and falls, and she always has a very weak look at me. I just ignored her before, and she was aggrieved as if I had beaten her. Xie Ying decisively refused.
"But once people know about it, my family gives me an order, and I can't refuse." Wei Ruo continued to explain.
"It's better to keep it secret, it's good to keep it secret, it's mysterious. When I talk to my mother in a while, I'll tell her to keep it a secret for us! Xie Ying said.
"Okay, you get the family's consent first, and then we'll discuss how to proceed." Wei Ruo said.
Cooperating with Xie Ying has a lot of benefits for Wei Ruo, and a little lower, Xie Ying's temperament is very good for her appetite; Second, Xie Ying has a background and ability and meets the conditions to be her partner; The third and most important point is that she can avoid the Wei family.
In the past, because the development of wasteland in the south of the city required an official background, she had to get in touch with the government through the Wei family.
Now she can reclaim a piece of land by bypassing the Wei family through Xie Ying, and she can also add an extra part of her income.
Xie Ying is usually lazy, and once she encounters something she wants to do, she doesn't like to procrastinate, so she goes to Mrs. Xie during the lunch break and tells her what she thinks.
Mrs. Xie thinks that this is a good thing, the achievements made by the eldest lady of the Wei family are obvious to all, and it is beneficial and harmless for her daughter to be able to follow the eldest lady of the Wei family to do something meaningful.
And this matter is not a big deal for the Xie family, she doesn't even need to take the silver out of the Xie family's father-in-law, take some silver from her own dowry and buy it for her daughter.
Seeing that Mrs. Xie agreed, Xie Ying was very happy.
"Thank you, mother!" Xie Ying hugged Mrs. Xie and kissed her on the cheek.
"You little skin monkey, my mother told you, since you want to do it, you have to learn from the Wei family's eldest lady to do it with your heart, make some achievements, and don't run away from the battle halfway." Mrs. Xie admonished.
Mrs. Xie doesn't feel sorry for the silver, but just hopes that her daughter can develop good habits.
"Mother, don't worry, when did I escape? I don't like to run away from the battle! ”
"You also said that you didn't escape, last year in the capital, I took you to a flower boat, and when you went out, you lied there that your stomach hurt and refused to go." Mrs. Xie debunked.
"That'...... That's different......"
"Okay, okay, this time my mother chooses to believe you. Also, your brother will also come to Xingshan County in a few days, and he can help you get anything at that time. Mrs. Xie said with a smile.
