Chapter 215: There's a Reason to Eat It Back

She sighed, but ancient times are as good as ancient times, everything is natural, not like the earth, it looks good after changing its face, but when she gives birth to a child, when she grows up, others think she picked it up.

With her current ability, it is not impossible to change the people here a little.

It's just that she likes antiquity very much, and if it changes, it can still be ancient.

Qiao Mai stared at the princess's face for a while, then turned around and jumped down from the window, walking alone on the official road for a long time.

The next day, Yuan Jiaqi woke up, he opened his eyes, sweat on his forehead, and looked at the roof in a daze.

He didn't dare to move, and he heard no movement in the room, so he slowly turned his head left and right, and the kang was cleaned up, and he didn't see Qiao Mai.

Yuan Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief, sat up slowly, then wiped the sweat on his head, and looked down at his clothes.

A little lost, wearing neat underwear, not messy.

Why didn't the lady eat herself? It's a pity, if he eats it, he will become her person, and he will have a reason to eat it back tonight.

What can I do? He is still intact.

He slapped himself on the face violently, what the ghost was thinking, and quickly got off the kang, put on his coat and walked out.

There was no one in the backyard, so he habitually looked up at the sky, and then went straight to the martial arts field.

At this time, Qiao Mai was taking the children to practice martial arts, she was supervising on the side, correcting the children's movements, and the children learned one move and one style seriously.

When he saw him coming, he didn't react, so he had to sit awkwardly to the side.

There's no way, he's not a martial arts practice, and then it's a comparison, he's really not good at this.

After a while, Qiao Mai came over sweating profusely, and the Yuan family hurriedly poured her a glass of water.

"My husband drank too much last night, and it didn't affect you if he didn't snore at night, right?"

"Nope,"

Yuan Jiaqi's face flushed, and Qiao Mai drank the water in the cup in one go.

"I don't know if the princess went to Lord Wang to complain, or went back to Beijing to complain?"

"Ignore it, just be your prefectural magistrate."

"Lady, won't you go back to Shexian with me to live?"

"No, go back yourself."

"Why? Home is so close, you want to come back in a while?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"The land over there is barren, I want to ask the lady to help me think of a way, see what is suitable to plant, can I develop a side business, I can't let the people only grow one season of grain a year, and rely on the sky to eat, right?"

"This problem is not only in your county, but now it is the same in the whole Acropolis."

"Is there a good way for the lady?"

"Plant trees, and plant trees on all idle wastelands."

"Huh?"

"I am afraid that the people who planted the trees will steal them for firewood, and there is a saying that if you want to get rich, you must plant trees first, and the roots of the trees can reduce soil erosion and change soil desertification."

"What kind of trees are you going to plant?"

"Pine trees, like cedar and larch, are particularly cold-resistant, and can still grow at minus 50 degrees in winter, and can be made into furniture after maturity, or can be burned on fire, and pine nuts can also be fried and sold on the tree, and the pine nuts taste very good, can be used in vegetables, can be used as a small snack, and naturally can become an income for the people."

"Pine nuts?"

"Yes, I see that the Ming Dynasty has not yet realized this. Nobody eats pine nuts."

"Have we ever eaten at home?"

"Not yet, but I can let you taste it in advance."

"So, can you taste it now?"

"Okay, let's go, let's go back and let them practice here."

Back in the backyard, Qiao Mai asked him to sit in the yard, she went back to the house to change her clothes, took out a whole pine cone from the space, and then took a bag of fried pine nuts.

I carried it to the table with a tray and put my things down.

"Let's see."

"This is the pine cone?"

"Yes, there are pine nuts in the bag next to it, you can taste the taste of cooked pine nuts."

Yuan Jiaqi opened the paper bag and saw golden fruits, and there was a crack in the middle.

"Is this ripe?"

"No, the seams that have been pressed in advance are easy to peel off."

He snapped one open, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

"Hmm, it's delicious, a little, a little like, like?"

"It's nothing, it tastes so unique, there's no nut like it."

"If you plant a tree, how many years will it take?"

"Pine nuts will hang a small amount of fruit after four to five years, and as the year of the pine tree increases, its fruit will also increase, mainly after planting the tree, to prevent the land from continuing to desertify, and retain the water in the soil, so that your side will not be so dry in the future, and then there is a tree, you can open a small paper workshop, not only pine trees, waste wood branches, can make paper, even grass."

The Yuan family was dumbfounded when they heard this, "Making, papermaking, these are all in the hands of the big family, how can the lady be?"

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that there are people who have a heart, I have studied the other party, and this will not be difficult for me."

"However, there are risks associated with opening such a workshop."

"So, you put your mind on planting trees first, take your time, you must know that planting trees also requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and the saplings alone cost a lot of money, and they have to be planted."

"Lady, can you help me?"

"I'll give you saplings and silver, and you can come with the rest?"

"Yes, in the future, in addition to hearing cases and handling disputes, I will take people to plant trees, and tell the people that whoever dares to cut down trees in wasteland will be imprisoned for one month and fined ten taels of silver."

"It's your business, I don't care, remember, a person's power is limited, you have to learn to control people."

"Yes, lady."

At this time, Yuan Jiaqi completely forgot what he was in the same room and what he was shy, and immediately stood up.

"Lady, I have to go back."

"Well, take your guards."

Yuan Jiaqi suddenly thought of something, and he said embarrassedly, "I'll come back every few days."

Qiao Mai took out a few silver tickets from his cuffs and gave them to him, "Use them first, I'll give them to you when it's not enough, don't use the silver from the public treasury, you can't tell it when the time comes, but don't keep the accounts, and you will have your mouth to say it when the time comes."

"I have already bought a tent and a housekeeper, and the people in the yamen are all new recruits, and they have all signed the papers, so they don't have the courage to defy the law."

"Then you go and get busy, the saplings come to the house every ten days, and I will give you a thousand each time."

"Lady, you're so nice!"

"I'm here to get you down to business!"

"Well, then I'm leaving."

Yuan Jiaqi put away the silver ticket, looked at her deeply, and then took a step forward and held her in his arms.

"Wait for the husband to be a little successful, let's, let's, let's have a child of our own, okay?"

Qiao Mai was stunned for a moment, "Eh, are you ready?"

"Yet, not yet, I'll wait for the lady to strike first, I, I'm too nervous, I don't dare, I don't dare to hand my hands and feet."

After saying that, Yuan Jiaqi let go of her and ran towards the gate of the courtyard, which was too shy.

Qiao Mai looked at the gate of the courtyard with a smile, and at this moment, a mother-in-law walked in.

"Master, the old lady is invited!"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw them eating, and the old lady beckoned to her.

"Girl, come, let's have breakfast together, I have something to ask you."

"Oh,"

She cleaned her hands, sat down next to the old lady, and the servants brought her a bowl of porridge, and the old lady rolled her a pancake.

"Let's eat, where is the family?"

"He's back to the yamen."

"Are you going to be a real couple?"

"Yes, he told me that this life is wrong

I can't, and I'm not a wriggler."

"There's no such thing as a ceremony?"

"No, we're both married and have children, so we can just move in together."

The old man looked at her calmly and asked, "The princess's matter is settled?"

"Yes, I will make a move, how can I solve it."

The old man stepped back and asked in a low voice, "Killed?"
