Wei Ruo did not say anything about the yield of late rice seeds, and now she told these villagers that they might not believe it, but would only take it as a rhetoric for her to sell her own late rice seeds.

Hearing Wei Ruo's statement, several people immediately quieted down.

Because this solution is more feasible for them, it can solve their immediate problem without them having to pay for it right now.

It is also cost-effective to exchange five catties of rice for one catty of rice seeds in the future.

A few people were hesitating, and more villagers who heard the news rushed over.

Xiumei explained the rules for selling late rice seeds to the newly arrived villagers, and then she heard someone shouting for signatures.

Someone opened his mouth, and those who were still hesitating immediately followed: "I want to sign too, I want to sign too."

Everyone began to scramble to ask for signatures, for fear that the rice seeds would be snatched by others if it was too late, and they would have no share.

Everyone also knows that there are many farmers affected this time, and they don't know if Xu Gongzi's rice seeds here are enough, so it's better to get the rice seeds early and hold the rice seeds in their hands as soon as possible.

Wei Ruo told everyone not to worry, line up, and when the master bookkeeper arrived, he could start signing.

The villages that have been affected recently are all located near the capital city of Taizhou and belong to Xianlin County in terms of administrative division, so Wei Ruo invited the chief bookkeeper of Xianlin County to be a notary.

听说魏若是为百姓提供晚稻种的，仙临县县衙的人十分积极，毫不犹豫地就答应了魏若的请求。

Because of the problems caused by this evil seedling disease, the county government is plaguing, from the county magistrate to the main book, everyone is worried about this, afraid of affecting their own political performance, afraid of being held accountable by the prefect.

Although Wei Ruo's move is a business, it is also a solution that can really help Xianlin County solve the problem.

After the arrival of the main book, not only did Wei Ruo's side have an extra layer of protection, but the villagers also felt more at ease. There are people from the government to testify, and they are not afraid that Xu Heyou will deceive them.

After the sale began, it lasted until dusk.

Most of the villagers chose to sign and return five times as much rice by the time of the autumn harvest, with only a small number of villagers paying on the spot.

All the rice seeds in a warehouse prepared by Wei Ruo were sold out in exchange for a box of contracts.

Master Wu of Xianlin County said to Wei Ruo very happily, "Gongzi Xu is really a person who cares about the great kindness of the people."

"Lord Wu is overrated, I'm just a businessman." Wei Ruo replied.

"No, no, no. If he is really a businessman, Xu Gongzi can only sell for money, and there will be no second way, after all, this second method is much more troublesome than the first one." Master Wu commented.

Wei Ruo smiled, she did not deny this, but at the same time, she also knew that if the second option was not provided, many villagers would be forced to choose to give up the purchase because of concerns or objective conditions.

This is good for her personally, for the farmers who are plagued by the disease, and even for the agriculture of Taizhou Prefecture.

Two days later, Agui arrived at the door of Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi with an ox cart full of sweet potato vines.

This year, the sweet potato vines used for cuttings are mainly planted in Xiaoyang Mountain, and after the vines have grown, Agui is responsible for transporting them.

When the workers in Zhuangzi were unloading, Ah Gui reported to Wei Ruo about the situation on Xiaoyang Mountain. ….

"Miss, this year's vine hair is very good, enough to do! Xiaoyang Mountain has almost been planted, and there are still a few acres of vines that have not been taken." Ah Gui reported to Wei Ruo.

"In two days, I may have to trouble you to run again, and send me three more truckloads of good vines." Wei Ruodao.

"Miss told me that it's not troublesome, it's all what I should do!" Agui said happily.

Without the support of the young lady, he and Xiaoba were just ordinary long-term workers of the Wei family in the Zhuangzi in Xingshan County.

With Miss's support, on the occasion of the relocation of the Captain's Mansion to Fucheng, he and Xiao Ba resigned from their jobs in Zhuangzi over there and went to work on Xiaoyang Mountain purchased by Miss, became stewards, and concentrated on helping Wei Ruo do things.

Not now

I can only get more wages every month, and my life is more hopeful.

"How are you doing over there in Xiaoyangshan?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Miss rest assured, everything on Xiaoyang Mountain is fine, everything is done according to Miss's instructions, and now sweet potatoes have been mainly planted, and some other vegetables have been sown in some fields at the foot of the mountain, and the current growth is very good. Everyone in Zhuangzi has worked very hard and is very confident in this year's harvest." Agui explained.

"Good. By the way, what's going on in Seongnam now?" Wei Ruo asked.

The south side of the city is no longer in charge of Wei Ruo, but it has developed from a barren area under Wei Ruo's proposition, and Wei Ruo still hopes that the people there can live well.

"The wheat in the south of the city is growing very well, and everyone is looking forward to it when it is about to ripen." Agui replied.

"Are the pioneers over there all right? Will you still be able to eat?" Wei Ruo asked.

There is still some time for the wheat to ripen, and most of the people who went to the south of the city to pioneer have no family background, so they don't know if they can stand it.

"Miss, don't worry, they can all eat at the moment. Lord Qian was in charge, and let them give a part of the wheat harvest in the field to the county government, and the county government knew that they had a part of the silver money, so that they could have money to buy grain, so they could still live for a while." Gui replied.

"That's good." In this way, Wei Ruo can also rest assured.

"The fathers and villagers in the south of the city miss you very much, and they all ask me when I will see the eldest lady again when I have been to the south of the city several times." Agui said.

Wei Ruo smiled and nodded, as for when he would go back to Xingshan County again, Wei Ruo himself didn't know.

After getting the sweet potato vines, Wei Ruo had the sweet potato vines transported to the sandy land she had purchased, handed them over to the villagers of Stone Village, and began to cultivate.

The villagers' movements are very neat, and in the past few days, the grass and rocks on the sand have been cleared, and now the vines have arrived, and they can just start the work of cuttings and planting.

Wei Ruo is very satisfied with the work of the villagers of Stone Village, and according to their attitude, Wei Ruo does not need to worry too much about the follow-up progress of this sandy land.

Wei Ruo also brought dried sweet potatoes, and Xiumei gave everyone a point.

Villagers who have tasted dried sweet potatoes have said that this thing is delicious, and the croppers usually have little chance to eat sweets, such sweet potatoes are sweet and glutinous, which is a delicacy that they have rarely tasted.

"If it's delicious, you can plant it well, and after planting sweet potatoes, I'll teach you how to make such dried sweet potatoes, which are easy to preserve and not easy to mold." Wei Ruo said to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone was even more motivated, as if they could already see the pomp and circumstance of sweet and glutinous sweet potatoes growing in the ground.
