Chapter 252: Planting

After finishing the marriage of Chu Mufeng and Lin Qiushui, Liu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia's lives finally calmed down and got on the right track.

On weekdays, Mu Rongya and Lin Qiushui would often come to visit the door and accompany Jiang Zhixia.

When no one came to accompany him, Jiang Zhixia focused on his own industry.

Han Wenxuan's shop has an excellent reputation among the literati. However, the profits are really meager. But, fortunately, it's not negative.

The production of peppers, because of this hot spring Zhuangzi, is also increasing.

Jiang Zhixia began to think about how to arrange the pepper products----- the pepper was always left like that, but it was a waste.

However, before she could think carefully about the matter of peppers, there was good news------- which lasted more than six months, and the people who went to Yazhou to buy cotton flowers were less than 100 miles away from the capital.

Because the buyers were not familiar with the roads when they went, and the roads were in bad condition, and the weather became cold and rainy, some of them became sick and stayed for a while, so they stumbled for a long time.

Fortunately, there are many people in Yazhou.

Therefore, the people who bought the cotton flowers not only bought more than a dozen experts in planting and weaving cotton flowers, but also bought all the remaining silver tickets after retaining the travel expenses.

After Jiang Zhixia learned the news, she first asked her subordinates to inform them to go to her grange----- she had already discussed with Liu Tiankuo, and this batch of cotton flowers was planted in her field first.

Therefore, she had already asked Xing Zhuangtou to discuss with the tenants, and she would take back part of the land and use it exclusively to grow cotton flowers.

It was on this occasion that she lowered the ground rent.

Before, she wanted to continue to move down. However, because the rent on the surrounding Zhuangzi is collected in this way, if she only collects it low, it is equivalent to disrupting the market. It will cause a backlash from others.

Therefore, she had no choice but to give up.

This time, because she broke the contract, it happened to be an excuse for her to downgrade her ----- anyway, she was not short of money.

Then she asked her servants to prepare their things, and she was going to live on the Grange for a while, and she herself went to meet the loaded wagon.

It just so happened that because of Liu Tiankuo's matter, she didn't have time to go to the hot springs all winter. Now that spring has begun, she has time to go.

On the second day, after Liu Tiankuo went out to the palace to be on duty, she asked the stable to prepare the horses. She took the two guards of Dongli and Ruolan, as well as a team of guards, out of the city, and went to Zhuangzi to wait first.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Zhixia saw a few thin and black people who came to meet the housewife under the leadership of Song He.

"You've worked hard." Jiang Zhixia could only say this, "When the uncle comes back, he will naturally reward you." If you have any requirements, just ask the uncle. ”

More than half a year has passed, and people have been tortured enough.

Those subordinates, although they were dark and thin, their eyes were shining.

They looked at the man who took the lead, and the man quickly replied, "Don't dare to say that it's hard." When I used to march, it was much harder than this. ”

Of course, it's much harder. Nowadays, although the journey is difficult, at least eat well, drink well, and sleep well.

When marching, eating, drinking, and sleeping are all at the mercy of heaven.

Jiang Zhixia praised them a few words, and asked them with interest about the things on the trip.

The leader was also a well-behaved person, and seeing that his housewife seemed to pay more attention to the customs and customs along the way, he talked in detail about the different customs and habits of some of the places he passed.

In the afternoon, just in Jiang Zhixia, 'is it like this? ''Really?'' ''yes.'' ''I've heard'... And so on.

In the end, the mouth of those subordinates was dry, and Jiang Zhixia was still unsatisfied.

However, when Jiang Zhixia reacted, he quickly apologized and let them go to rest----- after all, they were tired of traveling, and they still dragged others to talk.

As for the reward, it is naturally Liu Tiankuo who is the master.

After the subordinates left, Jiang Zhixia said to the people around him in a daze: "The world is so big, there are no surprises. When will I be able to go for a walk? The previous dream,Slowly forgotten。。。 ”

Jiang Zhixia was indeed rather melancholy.

After all, travel was in her plan, but now it is slowly worn out by life.

Ruolan saw the lost Jiang Zhixia and pursed her lips secretly.

Jiang Zhixia reluctantly put away his frustration, walked to the courtyard, and saw that the unloaded carriage was full of white cotton flowers, and his eyes lit up again.

Even if she doesn't succeed in planting cotton flowers this year, she will be enough.

Jiang Zhixia finished reading the cotton flowers, went to see the cotton flower seeds, and met the people who bought them.

The man spoke Yazhou dialect, and Jiang Zhixia couldn't understand it. Fortunately, the person who bought bought bought a subordinate who could speak official language, and the right to be a translator.

When Liu Tiankuo was on duty, he quickly ran to Zhuangzi, and what he saw was the excited Jiang Zhixia.

"The Yazhou man said that he would be able to sow seeds in March. When the time comes, the cotton seeds should be turned and dried for three to five days. It is also necessary to fertilize the ground, plough the ground and make longs, and when the time comes, it is necessary to water it in time and top it down. Wait until July and August, and you can collect it. After harvesting, you can play cotton. The cotton we bought has been bounced and can be used directly. ”

Jiang Zhixia said with sparkling eyes.

"When you say that, you're going to go farming. Why don't you go and plant it yourself? ”

Liu Tiankuo said jokingly while changing clothes.

"It's not like I haven't farmed." Jiang Zhixia said angrily.

But after saying that, I thought that after passing through, I really rarely farmed, and my confidence was a little insufficient.

However, she turned her head and said without losing momentum: "I planted the pepper that day." ”

Liu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia's changeable face with a smile, and felt very relieved----- Zhixia was really happy.

"Good, good. My lady is omnipotent. The almighty lady, can she let her husband go to dinner now? ”

Liu Tiankuo said with a smile against Jiang Zhixia's head.

Jiang Zhixia glanced at him fiercely, and then laughed again.

Then the two of them sat around the table and had a happy dinner.

After dinner, Liu Tiankuo got Ruolan's advice when Jiang Zhixia was washing.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he fell into deep thought.

At the end of February, Jiang Zhixia and Liu Tiankuo accompanied Cheng Enhou and his wife to see off Master Mu Si, who had returned to Quzhou.

At the beginning of March, Jiang Zhixia went to Zhuangzi and arranged for the tenants to start repairing the land.

In mid-March, Jiang Zhixia looked at the talented people who planted cotton flowers in Yazhou and began to dry the seeds of cotton flowers.

In late March, Jiang Zhixia watched everyone sow the seeds of the sponge flowers one by one and water them.

In this way, it is to wait for the cotton flowers to grow.

In Zhuangzi, there are people from Yazhou who are good at planting cotton flowers, watching and conditioning.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixia stared at the tenants after planting the cotton flowers, and when he returned home, he completely relaxed.
