An hour later, Lao Lai and Li Jiang left the village committee compound happily.

During this period, the three of them carried out detailed exchanges and discussions on the affairs of the caravan, and finally reached a consensus goal.

Now that the spring planting has ended, there is nothing important in the village that needs their participation, so the caravan matter can be started.

Xia Ning asked the two of them to be responsible for each leading a caravan, as for how to recruit team members? How do you plan your route? Even what kind of goods the team wants to sell, etc., are all left to them.

She doesn't interfere too much, she gives them the authority to do their own setting management, and when the time comes, she just needs to look at the plan they have made.

As the big boss behind her, of course, she can't completely sit idly by, and she will still give appropriate suggestions and references to the plans made by the two teams, at least in the general direction.

As for other day-to-day management and arrangements, she is no longer involved.

This is indeed a big challenge for Lao Lai and Li Jiang, but not only did they not flinch or refuse at all, on the contrary, they were also full of expectations and eagerness to try, eager to achieve a career in this area.

What's more, there is a powerful master Xia Ning behind them, they have nothing to worry about at all, and in the hour-long conversation, Xia Ning also made it clear what kind of help and protection she can provide them, such as self-defense weapons and travel tools.

This made the two of them more confident.

They set up a caravan, to have financial resources, to have strength, this already has a great advantage, greatly eliminating their worries.

So, the two of them are ready to do it boldly with confidence!!

Now that it is just the beginning of May, Xia Ning has set the first task goal for the two of them, that is, by the end of May at the latest, strive to prepare all the matters of the caravan, and officially set off with the caravan in early June.

A month should be enough time for the two of them to form a team and prepare for the relevant trip, after all, it is the first time to travel, and she still hopes that everyone can set off again when they are fully prepared.

As soon as the caravan's affairs were handed over, Xia Ning was a lot more relaxed, and she no longer bothered about the caravan's affairs, she had other things to do.

Don't think that the spring planting is over, you can let yourself go, there are still many things to do at the base.

The spring planting is only a temporary end to the farm work in the field, which does not mean that there is nothing else to do in the base, after all, the base still needs to be developed in a comprehensive and large-scale manner.

"Steward Feng, how is the orchard being cultivated?"

At this time, Xia Ning was asking a man who was about thirty-five years old.

Feng Dexiang replied respectfully, "Now that the land in the orchard has been renovated, it is time to transplant fruit seedlings." ”

"Okay, I'll bring back the seedlings in the afternoon, and you can arrange for someone to plant them as soon as possible."

Xia Ning said very simply, the reason why she said this is just to pretend on the surface, as for where she brought back the fruit seedlings, the process is not important at all, and no one can study the root cause.

There are many kinds of fruit saplings in her porcelain pot space, and they are all large fruit seedlings, which can be transplanted into the orchard directly by skipping the seedling stage.

These fruit saplings are still the materials prepared together when the vegetable seedlings were wholesaled at the farmers' market before, after all, who doesn't like to eat fruits?

The whole village must be free to eat fruit.

Originally, it should have been cultivated and planted in April, but the farm work in the field was too heavy to spare extra manpower and time on the orchard.

Moreover, in everyone's eyes, fruit is scarce and expensive, but it is not as good as food to fill the stomach, this fruit is just a kind of enjoyment in life, outside the staple food.

Therefore, it can only be arranged after the farm is busy.

Fortunately, at the end of April, the farm work in the field was almost busy, so Xia Ning asked Steward Feng to lead people to cultivate another orchard next to the mulberry orchard, covering an area of about ten acres.

After a week, the soil was finally loosened and the stones and weeds were removed.

"Okay, we can start transplanting at any time." Steward Feng confidently said that the workers in the orchard were all people with experience in taking care of fruit trees that he had painstakingly found in the base.

"Okay, you go and prepare first, and I'll transport the seedlings back later." Xia Ning nodded with satisfaction, to say that her luck with Shaoqin is really good, every time she goes out to rescue refugees, there are talents who can be used.

Although they are not talents of a great country, and they do not have strong talents, they are better because they have experience.

This steward Feng is also one of the refugees they rescued, he was the orchard steward of the rich family, in the face of the disaster, how can those masters take care of all the subordinates, especially a small steward who manages the orchard, it has no effect at all, so after the main family escapes, the abandoned subordinates can only fend for themselves.

Feng Dexiang also had no choice, he continued to stay in the orchard only to wait for death, but due to his identity, they couldn't flee to other places at will, otherwise they would be found to be disposed of by the government.

But he didn't want to wait for death, so he had to wait for his family to join the refugee team and flee together, originally they didn't have a clear destination, they only thought about where they could flee to.

Unexpectedly, he met Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin on the way, after hearing about the situation in Baiyun Village, Feng Dexiang immediately made the decision to take refuge, not to mention that along the way, only Baiyun Village was willing to accept them who fled, and secondly, the existence of Baiyun Village was very suitable for people like them to avoid their identities.

Anyway, in a turbulent year, which master would go to great lengths to find a subordinate?

Therefore, he and his family are now settled in Baiyun Village, they like the life here very much, and they are also very satisfied with the peaceful life now.

**

In the afternoon of the same day, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin drove out of the village to transport fruit seedlings, and the two of them ran back and forth twice, transporting back four carts full of fruit seedlings.

The orchard had ten acres of land, the size of a regular football field, and it was estimated that seven or eight hundred fruit seedlings could be planted, so the two of them had to transport them back and forth twice before they could fill it with enough fruit seedlings.

"Wow~ so many fruit seedlings!"

"It's the first time I've seen so many fruit seedlings when I've grown so big, I'm afraid there are nearly a thousand trees, right?"

"Miss Xia and the second master are really arrogant, saying that they will get so many fruit seedlings back by planting an orchard."

"Then you don't need to say, who are Miss Xia and the second master?"
