Chapter 246: I just want to do something for the people
Ling'er thought that when she grew up and had the ability, she would look for the parent who abandoned her.
In fact, it doesn't matter if she is looking for it or not, she is now a happy princess, and it doesn't make much sense to find it or not.
In the golden autumn of October, it was another harvest season, and there was no news of the grain tax that had to be raised because of the war.
The three tenant farmers of the Qiao family came early to hand over the grain, and it is really a blessing to be the tenant farmers of the Qiao family.
In addition to handing over the food, they also asked to see Qiao Mai, which made her wonder.
When she met them in the front hall, she saw three tenant farmers kneeling down for her, and Qiao Mai hurriedly asked them to help them up.
"If there is something, I will say, as long as I can do it, I will fulfill you"
"Owner, we, can we follow you to grow greenhouse vegetables?"
"That's what happened,"
"We also want to make a fortune and have our own land, so can you teach us?"
"Yes, what's not to do with that,"
The three tenant farmers happily looked at each other, "Thank you, owner"
"You're going to plant all the land you have?"
"No, we want to plant first, food is still the main thing, I heard that the cost of ingredients for one acre of land alone is very high, and our families don't have that much silver."
"Well, it seems that I put my heart into it, and I know that the investment cost is high"
"Ask the proprietor to fulfill us,"
"Okay, Mingbu, I'll provide you with the cost price, and I'll prepare the rest by yourself, and I'll send a few mothers-in-law to teach you in the field."
"Bah, bah, thank you, thank you, thank you"
The first batch of people who followed Qiao Mai to grow vegetables in the greenhouse finally came up, and she didn't snort, she just wanted to see if there were any smart people.
Each of the three tenant farmers set aside five acres to grow vegetables, and the others planted winter wheat.
They learned from the mothers-in-law, mastered the essentials of growing vegetables in winter, how to keep vegetables free of insects, and several recipes for treating insects, all of which were also taught to them.
Qiao Mai also provided them with high-quality seeds, just because their own vegetables were not enough to sell in the winter, and with the addition of these three families, diners did not have to break their heads.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the vegetables in the greenhouse in the backyard are also growing seedlings.
Especially leeks, which grow the fastest, are also those ones, looking at the green vegetables, they seem to see hope.
These families are really hard, follow the mother-in-law to study seriously, Speaking of growing vegetables, they don't know how to do it, but if they want to make the dishes the same as the Qiao family, they really have to put in some effort.
When they saw the vegetables in their fields popping up, they all wiped tears with joy.
The proprietor was so nice, he didn't hide his secrets, and provided them with materials to build a warm shed, and allowed their food to be sold in Qiao Kee's shop.
In this way, their sales are solved, and they save a lot of effort, and they don't have to rush to sell everywhere.
However, Qiao Mai did not sell vegetables to them for nothing, taking a profit of 10%, how much her vegetables were sold, they would sell them for as much as their money, and the price was high and low, so that they were prepared.
These three families are real, and as soon as the owner said that they would respond, they did not hesitate at all.
After Yuan Jiaqi arranged for the soldiers, the number of times they went home was diligent, and all the pine trees were planted by the end of June.
In addition to the soldiers, everyone else went home one after another.
If you want to start work, you have to wait until next spring, when you have to prune, you have to water, you have to prevent fire, a bunch of things.
I haven't been home for several months, and as soon as the Yuan family comes home, they make out with their mother all night.
"I'm sorry lady, I'm too busy over there, I've worked hard for you in the past few months, if I don't have your strong support, I can't be promoted as a husband"
"Re-promotion is also a prefectural order"
"I don't want to be promoted yet, I just want to stay in Shexian for the rest of my life,"
"Why?"
"I'm making Shexian a little successful now, and I don't want others to pick up white food."
"I can say it first, in the future, when you become a big official, you want to go to the capital or somewhere else, I won't go, I'll be in Tianshui Town."
"Then the husband will come home to see you, you can rest assured that the husband will never get into trouble,"
Qiao Mai pouted, "If you don't touch the flowers, you can't let the flowers not touch you, have the Qu family looked for you?" ”
"No, it should be that the upper side has put pressure on his family, they don't dare to toss anymore, I haven't seen Miss Qu appear for several months"
Qiao Mai turned around and took out a thick piece of paper from under the kang mat and placed it on the side of his head.
"Let's wait until we go back to Shexian and see it."
"What?"
"The planning of the workshop must be prepared now, and soon the pine trees will become timber, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to cut fat, pick pine towers, and fry pine nuts, all of which need workshops."
"Lady, you are so miserable, my Yuan family can have such a lady, it is really a blessing from three lifetimes"
Joe gave him a blank look, "Sleep!" It's going to be dawn."
The next day, Qiao Mai asked the kitchen to cook a table of good dishes, and everyone celebrated for the Yuan family.
The old man was very emotional, "Home up"
"In"
"I didn't expect you to be promoted so quickly, jumping two levels in a row, there is a future, there is a future."
"Isn't it thanks to the lady? Otherwise, how could it be my turn?"
"Well, it's good that you know, the family members of any official are not as good as your wife, if she hadn't supported you with all her might, and she was transporting medicine and giving silver, it is estimated that the emperor would not have seen your goodness."
"Students just want to do something for the people, it doesn't matter if they are promoted or not, they just want to escape from the north, and they don't have to look down on the deceit in the court."
"Well, I think the same way as a teacher, no matter where you are, as long as you can work for the welfare of the people, when you get to the capital, you may not be able to do practical things for the people, or here."
"Yes"
Qiao Mai glanced at them, "Don't just say it, the food will be finished in a while." ”
"Haha, don't say it, don't say it, eat vegetables, eat vegetables"
The Yuan family stayed at home for only three days before returning to Shexian County, and when he left, there was light snow in the sky.
Shexian County has heavier snow than Tianshui Town, and when he returned to Shexian County, it was covered with snow everywhere, and it had become a kingdom of snow.
Yuan Jiaqi did not rush back to the yamen, he took six guards and went to the woodland to have a look.
The pine trees stood tall in the snow, and the wind could not blow them, and the white of the snow and the green of the pine formed a stark contrast.
It's rare to see green in the winter here, or in patches, it seems that the lady is really right, pine trees are very suitable for planting in the north.
As soon as he returned to the Yamen, he didn't do anything, and first looked at the plan made by the lady.
Nodding while watching, it is really too detailed, if it is according to the lady's plan, it can solve the employment problem of hundreds of people for the people of Shexian County.
The workshop is here, which can also drive the economy of the county.
It would be nice if the lady could solve the problem of the people here planting grain once a year, so that no one would move south in the future.
If the population is retained, the natural economy will be raised.
He sighed, the lady is not a fairy, it is impossible to do anything, here is the climate, and the reason for the soil, how can the lady be these.
Qiao Mai has three sheep at home, so he often goes to the space to cultivate.
Now her cultivation is a little bit closer, and she can get married.
It has been snowing for a few days, and she has also been cultivating in the space for several days, and you haven't seen thunder on a snowy day, right?
The people of Tianshui Town met it today, and it was really unheard of to hear of thunder on a snowy day.
The reason is because Qiao Mai married Dan in the space, she didn't know what was going on outside, and after marrying Dan, her whole temperament was more immortal than before.
Every move is like a fairy descending from the pill, spotless, and walking is like stepping on clouds, fluttering.
According to the cultivation book, the lifespan of the foundation building period is 100 years, and the lifespan of the Dan period is 500 years.
Thinking that when she was 500 years old, her children had turned into dry bones, and her heart was not happy.
She has to hurry up and raise the level of the pill, and when the time comes, she will refine a furnace of high-grade longevity pills, so that her children can live a few more years and enjoy life more.
