Chapter 264: Lucky Star
"Your Majesty, there's a letter from the border gate." In the imperial study, the emperor sat in the study and looked at the fold in his hand, which was the excerpt of Qin Shuo, the county order of Mengyuan County, and Qin Shuo's excerpt wrote about the installation of waterwheels in Mengyuan County, at this moment Li Laifu walked in with a letter, and saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and hurriedly sent the things in his hand to the emperor's desk.
"Is it a letter from the emperor?" The emperor looked at the confidence on the table is very good, the installation of the waterwheel in Mengyuan County is very smooth, the people have responded very well to the waterwheel, he has been ready to build a large number of waterwheels throughout the country, and then when he heard the letter from the border pass, he directly thought that it was a letter from his own imperial brother.
"Yes! It was a letter from King Ling. Gonggong Li nodded with a smile and personally served a cup of tea to the emperor.
"Brother Huang, alas! It's all for me that he worked so hard. "I can't help but feel guilty when I think of my imperial brother, if it weren't for helping me stabilize the situation, I wouldn't have been eaten a long time ago.
picked up the letter on the table and looked at it, just a big smile appeared on his face at a glance, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw the end, "Hahaha, hahaha, that girl is really a lucky star!" ”
"The emperor has encountered something good." Gonggong Li saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so he asked with a bold smile.
"A good thing, a great good thing, quickly pass on King Wen, Dongning Hou, Yong Bo Hou, and Dasi Nong to enter the palace," the emperor laughed and told Li Laifu to let them enter the palace quickly.
"Yes." Li Laifu saw that the emperor was so happy, and he was also happy, it seems that King Ling has brought good news to the emperor again.
In Zhoujia Village, Shui Miaomiao was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, at this time she was taking people to make sauerkraut, dried vegetables, sausages, and all kinds of bacon, and there was one more job in the embroidery room, that is, to make cotton shoes, cotton insoles, and cotton gloves.
"Sister Miao Miao, the cabbage is no longer enough, you see if you can buy the cabbage of the people in the village." Liu Mei was directing people to do things in the courtyard, and when she saw Shui Miaomiao coming in, she put down the work in her hand, pointed to the few cabbages in the side room and asked with a smile.
"Well, it's okay, I'll talk to Mitsuhashi later, he's in charge of this matter, but sister-in-law Meizi, how much do you need every day here, you have to run and talk to Mitsuhashi, otherwise it's not good to collect too much and rot." Shui Miaomiao had already planned it, so she let them watch it themselves.
"Well, then I'll talk to Brother Mitsuhashi, and the dried vegetables over there should also be dried quickly." Although Liu Mei didn't know what she was doing with so many things, Shui Miaomiao didn't say anything, and she wouldn't ask.
"It's going to trouble Aunt Liu to dry vegetables, as for finding a few people, you can decide for yourself, I believe my aunt knows how many vegetables there are in the village." Shui Miaomiao winked at Liu Mei, which means that sister-in-law I believe in you.
"You! Then I'll tell my mother later, by the way, the winter wheat is planted. Liu Mei actually wanted to know if the winter wheat could really be planted successfully, they had been planting spring wheat all the time, and if the winter wheat could be planted successfully, then they could also harvest more grain.
"Sister-in-law, winter wheat should be successful, but we still have to experiment, if we can plant it successfully, we can also plant two crops here in the future." Although Shui Miaomiao knew that winter wheat would definitely be planted successfully, she had never planted it before, so it was better to let Liu Erhu and them try it.
"It would be great if this was the case, Miao Miao, you are the lucky star of our Zhoujia Village!" Liu Mei couldn't help but sigh, since Shui Miaomiao came to Zhoujia Village, their life in the village has also been upgraded to a level, if they can plant two seasons a year, it will not only benefit Zhoujia Village, but also benefit many people.
"Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me." Shui Miaomiao was a little embarrassed, and was about to say something more, when the anxious voice of the Wednesday Bridge came from outside the door.
"Girl, girl, someone is coming to the capital, wait for Lord Qin to accompany someone." Wednesday Bridge trotted all the way to the sauerkraut workshop, and the sound came in before the person arrived, and just hearing the sound knew that he was very excited at this time.
"It's finally here, Dongmei, and tell someone to prepare the guys." Shui Miao sighed, she finally came, if she didn't come again, she would have to do it herself.
"Yes." Dongmei answered and went down to do things, the girl had already received the news, let them prepare early, and wait for those people to come and start work, the number of sweet potatoes and potatoes is not much, and it can be dug in just one day.
"Miao Miao, but your new variety can be harvested." Liu Mei has been listening to the side, but she knows that there are several crops in Miao Miao's field that she doesn't know, especially the tomatoes taste really good, if it weren't for the fact that there are not many things and still have to keep the seeds, he really has to be cheeky and ask for more.
The three children in his family are still shouting that they haven't eaten to their heart's content, and of course she, a mother, is interested, and secretly thinks in her heart: I must ask Miao Miao for some seeds next year, and I will have more in my own field, and there will be no problem with eating as much as I want at that time.
"Sister-in-law, that sweet potato and potato are both high-yield crops, higher than the yield of corn, but there are not many seeds this time, and I will plant another crop next year, and then I can plant a large area." Shui Miaomiao already had a lot of calculations in her heart.
The best way is to plant another crop of sweet potatoes and potatoes herself, so that she can have more seeds in her hands, and it will be easier to promote them in the second half of next year.
"Then we can also grow new crops next year." Liu Mei's eyes lit up when she heard him say this.
"I really don't know about this, sister-in-law, you also heard it, someone from the capital is coming, it's for this, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will try my best to let our Zhoujia Village start planting first." Shui Miaomiao didn't know what to say, all she could do was try her best.
"If you can really succeed, my sister-in-law will thank you for the people in the village." Liu Mei knew that this was not Shui Miaomiao's final say, and it was already the best to be able to say that giving a chance.
At the gate of the Shui family compound, Shui Miaomiao was already waiting at the door with people, and the tools had been prepared on the carriage behind her, just waiting for the people to go directly to the field as soon as they arrived.
On the official road, a group of cars and horses went straight to the courtyard of the Shui family, and saw the person at the door from a distance, Qin Shuo, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to Yong Bohou next to him, "Master Hou, the water girl is already waiting at the door." ”
"That girl is really amazing this time, if the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is really so high, she is the biggest hero, by the way, the yield of that corn really reaches six hundred and fifty catties." Yong Bohou suddenly remembered that the emperor had said that the yield of that corn was as high as 650 catties, which was higher than the yield of rice.
"Master Hou, this is true, that corn is not only high in yield, but also full, and it tastes very good, when the sweet potatoes and potatoes are dug up, let the water girl make some corn to eat, Master Hou tastes how it tastes." Qin Shuo has eaten food made of corn, and it tastes good, to be honest.
