Unlike Wei Ruo and half of the people in Taizhou Mansion, the Yun family can be described as anxious.

The shop is not doing well, and the income of the two Zhuangzi is not very good.

Although the rice seeds she planted were also the late rice seeds provided by Wei Ruo, and sweet potatoes were also planted in the mountains of Xingshan County, because the soil in her two Zhuangzi was relatively poor, especially the 500 acres of land she bought near the capital city of Taizhou, the soil was somewhat compacted and the fertility was seriously insufficient.

In the early days, Yun asked Wei Ruo for advice, and Wei Ruo told her how to improve it, but because of the cost problem, Yun did not make great efforts to top dressing at a high cost as Wei Ruo said.

Later, due to the lack of silver taels on hand, the Yun clan also sold a few slaves, resulting in a shortage of people to manage Zhuangzi.

Now that it is the harvest season, the yield of Zhuangzi at home is less than one-fifth of Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi, and even the yield per mu of sweet potatoes that are relatively easy to grow is far inferior to Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi's yield, only about 1,000 catties per mu.

This output is far lower than Yun's expectations, and according to this output, it will not be enough for the government to use in the next year, let alone sell the surplus for money.

Yun had a headache, and he didn't eat much for several days.

"Madam, don't worry, it's not worth it if you're worried." Seeing this, Cui Ping persuaded him.

"How can I not worry?" Yun rubbed his temples, his face extremely heavy.

"Madam, if you really can't think of any good way, just talk to the eldest lady, the eldest lady has a lot of ideas in this regard, maybe she has some way." Cui Ping proposed.

Yun Shi stopped and muttered, "She does have a lot of ideas on these things. ”

Cui Ping continued: "Madam, in fact, the eldest lady is really good, although her style is different from that of ordinary young ladies, but this is also her uniqueness. ”

Yun sneered: "She is unique, but she can't get close to me, I am her mother, but she always treats me as an enemy, I think about her for her sake, but she gives me a look everywhere." Hey, maybe I don't have a mother's fate with her, and I'm angry if I can't say a few words. ”

Cui Ping persuaded and said: "The disagreement between the eldest lady and the lady is actually not a big problem, you are a biological mother and daughter, blood is thicker than water, as long as the lady treats the eldest lady well, the eldest lady will be influenced by the lady sooner or later and be close to the lady." ”

Cuiping's words Yun didn't quite agree, and sighed: "Don't talk about this, you go and call her over, there are indeed some things you can ask her." ”

"Yes." Cui Ping did so to listen to Songyuan invite Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo has just had some leisure in the past few days, and he is cleaning up the fruits and vegetables planted in the yard in Tingsong Garden.

Cui Ping came to invite, Wei Ruo was not very surprised, she had been running around for the past few days, and she had also heard some news, knowing that the harvest of the two Zhuangzi in the school captain's mansion was not good.

I want to come to the Yun clan at this time to send Cuiping to invite me over, most likely for this matter.

"Got it, I'll go over here." Wei Ruo got up and went to wash his hands.

Then follow Cuiping to Tingsong Garden.

On the way there, Cui Ping rarely talked to Wei Ruoduo: "Miss, in fact, Mrs. treats you well, but Mrs. grew up in Beijing since she was a child, and she has more rules, and she always hopes that you can be as dignified and gentle as Miss Jingzhong, so she has a lot of conflicts with you." ”

"Did she tell you to say these things or did you want to say them yourself?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It was the slave and maid who said it herself, not at the behest of the lady."

"My conflict with her is far from a difference in concept, you don't have to work in vain."

"It's the slave who has trespassed."

Cui Ping didn't dare to say more.

When he arrived at Cangyun Garden, the Yun family asked Wei Ruo to sit down, and then asked bluntly about the autumn harvest: "I heard that the Taizhou Mansion has ushered in a bumper harvest recently?" ”

"About 40% of the harvest, and 20% of the income is mediocre, which is about the same as in an ordinary year, and the remaining 40% is not satisfactory, but it is also slightly better than last year and the year before that." Wei Ruo replied truthfully.

This year's campaign to protect grain production did not cover all aspects, and only about 60 percent of farmers were willing to follow the government's arrangement to switch to Wei Ruo's late rice seeds and sweet potatoes.

Even in these sixty percent, there are people who do not completely follow the methods promoted by the government to carry out top dressing and other aspects of management, and follow their own set, so the final harvest is slightly worse, so the final harvest is only forty percent.

"That's unfortunate, the harvest of the two Zhuangzi in the school captain's mansion happens to be in the unsatisfactory forty percent you said. Everyone knows what you did in Taizhou Mansion, and everyone said that you were talented, but now your own Zhuangzi has not been able to grow any crops, and I am afraid that this will be a joke when it spreads. Yun said.

Wei Ruo smiled lightly: "Mother, if I remember correctly, you asked me how to manage Zhuangzi and increase yield, and I gave you the method to improve, but you didn't do what I proposed, and then you sold some slaves, resulting in insufficient manpower to work in Zhuangzi and poor management of farmland." ”

"Why did I sell the slaves in Zhuangzi in the first place, don't you know why? How did the situation at home allow me to do what you said? The Yun clan questioned Wei Ruodao in turn.

In this year, the money in the school captain's mansion was very insufficient, and the Yun family thought that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

On the contrary, Wei Ruo has plenty of money in his hands, but he has never thought of helping his family.

Therefore, when mentioning this matter, the Yun family couldn't help but bring resentment towards Wei Ruo between the lines.

"But what does that have to do with me? I said the way, but my mother didn't do it, and it wasn't my dereliction of duty. As for what outsiders think about this, I don't mind, if they think I don't have the ability, just don't believe it. The cash-for-work campaign has come to such an extent that those involved can only continue to believe in me, questioning my ability is not half beneficial to them. Wei Ruo replied very calmly.

"You can see through it." Yun Shipi smiled and "praised" without smiling.

Or did my mother think I should care about that? Or does my mother think that it is my fault that the Zhuangzi in my family is not harvested? Wei Ruo asked the Yun clan rhetorically.

"How dare I blame you, I just called you here today to ask if there is any solution, there is something to ask for, how dare you blame?" Yun Shi Dao.

Although she didn't dare to blame her, her expression and tone clearly revealed her complaint about Wei Ruo's "inaction".

"The rice has been harvested and the coffin has been closed, and now my mother is asking me if there is any solution, I'm afraid it's too difficult for me, right?" Wei Ruo replied.

"Isn't the land you have worked for is about to be planted with wheat? If you can get more land for your family, and wait for the wheat harvest to be more in half a year, wouldn't the problem be solved? Yun said.
