The affairs of the court, Yuan Rui can't reach it.

Yuan Rui didn't want to ask about Yangzhou's affairs.

Yuan Rui can manage the affairs of the sea, and he doesn't want to care at all.

But Jijiazhuang, Yuan Rui can't ignore it, it's all his family. It was not his job to appease, it was the matter of the patriarchs and elders, there were clan rules and township covenants, and there were several ways to compensate.

The dead young man has been gloriously buried in the ground, although the pirates have entered the Zhuangzi, but they are well prepared, the transfer is very thorough, and there is almost no loss, of course, a few damaged houses can be ignored.

It is a pity that the paddy fields on the edge of the village have been damaged, and the rice fields alone have been damaged, and the fields are full of rice that is about to be harvested.

He can't manage other places, but Jijiazhuang, he has to take care of it, and many tenant farming families are counting on the rice in the fields, and without the harvest, they can't even keep their mouths shut in the second half of the year.

He went to the fields many times, and the rice was thrown into a mess, and many of them were trampled in the mud, and many grains were scattered and scattered everywhere.

Looking at the villagers who were silently wiping their tears on the edge of the paddy fields, he was helpless.

I asked some old farmers, these rice is useless, the rice is not fully ripe, it is still soft, and it can be barely harvested and eaten in hungry years, but it is not good for storage or take-out.

In the face of this situation, he is helpless, although he has no food, he can relieve a little, but there are still so many days, affecting hundreds of people, how to deal with it.

On this day, as soon as he got up, Xiaohe ran over again, "Young master, young master, look, the duck has laid eggs!" ”

Looking at the duck egg in Xiaohe's hand, Yuan Rui slapped his head with his hand, stupid, there is a way!

He picked up Xiaohe all of a sudden, happily earned a few laps, and said in his mouth, "Xiaohe, you are really an elf, the young master likes you so much!" ”

After saying that, he put down the river and turned around and went out.

Xiaohe, who was left with a blushing face, stood in place, and did not recover for a long time.

Yuan Rui pulled Wang Bo and Dashan and ordered a few things, telling them to tell all the damaged rice field families that the rice did not need to be cut.

Each family went to the field to drain the water, and then took the frame to collect all the ears, and collected the rice exclusively for its own family, according to the normal market price.

He also specially instructed that when releasing water, pay attention to using nets to collect the scattered rice together.

Looking at Uncle Wang and Dashan's puzzled expressions, he didn't say much, just smiled and urged them to go quickly.

Here, he went out directly and went to find the fifth uncle and the eldest brother, and asked them to look for it anyway to see where there are still ducklings for sale.

Besides, he asked his eldest brother to buy a large number of fishing nets, as soon as possible. Time was tight, so he didn't explain much, he just smiled and said, the income is their share.

made the fifth uncle and the eldest brother both have a lawsuit, but after the bandits, they are really convinced of Yuan Rui, and the three-plate axe is really not covered, I heard that this strategy has been reported to the court by Yangzhou.

The two also knew that Yuan Rui was a master of selling guanzi, and he must have his own plans, anyway, it's a good thing, just wait and see.

In just two or three days, the entire Jijiazhuang seems to be busy.

First of all, all adults and children went to the field with the frames and put the rice in baskets.

Yuan Rui borrowed the open space in front of the ancestral hall, and all the rice was harvested and poured on the ground to dry. The old farmers on the side couldn't understand it, and the rice that was not fully ripe was even more deflated and useless.

In addition, Yuan Rui asked the fifth uncle to invite some villagers to help surround the edge of the Ji River with a net dozens of meters long, and the bottom of the river was compacted with stones, and the top was exposed about more than one meter, which was also to prevent the water from rising, and the river slope was also surrounded by nets.

Speaking of which, you actually know Yuan Rui's purpose.

Yes, it is breeding, raising ducks and geese on the river slopes, and fish in the water.

Within a few days, thousands of ducks and geese were placed by the river.

Here, Yuan Rui asked people to help crush all the half-dried rice in a mortar to make the so-called rice bran, but this rice bran was mixed with more rice.

In fact, it is a pity that there is no crusher now, if all these rice are crushed, whether it is dried or made into batter, it is the best breeding feed, not only fish, what pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, chickens, ducks and geese eat and grow particularly fast.

He also told the tenant farmers that he was going to raise chickens and fish in the river three miles upstream, and that if the family did not have a job, they could go there to work as helpers for fifty yuan a month.

Then there is the green seedlings in the field can also be slowly harvested and put into the river for the fish to eat, and the green seedlings are also counted as money.

The tenant farmers in Jijiazhuang never thought that they were still worrying about how to live their lives just now, but now it is better.

In just three or five days, it has been spread all over the countryside of Tonghai, and Jijiazhuang has suffered the greatest loss this time, but the method that he came up with is really good, and the people may not be able to say that it is really a blessing in disguise.

The Lu family copied it as it was, and after people in Tonghai County learned about it, they let the damaged villages in the county copy it again.

As a result, when Yangzhou got the news, the entire damaged place in Yangzhou was copied once, which is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.

Yuan Rui returned to his leisurely days, although he found so many things for the villagers, but he was too lazy to do it, feeding the fish or releasing the ducks was not what he did, it was so hot that he didn't even want to go fishing.

Xiaohe is becoming more and more diligent, anyway, as long as it is Yuan Rui's business, she is involved, and she manages things more and more carefully.

Sometimes even Yuan Rui has to ask if he should take a bath, and after a while, his clothes are dirty again, and his hair is useless for a while, which makes Yuan Rui himself confused.

Time passed so leisurely for a long time.

Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Reunion Festival, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to have many family members unable to reunite.

The Lu family came to eat again.

Some time ago, the second prince came to Jijiazhuang with the magistrate to announce the reward of the imperial court.

This time, Jijiazhuang killed more than 100 pirates, and was reported to the court as a model by Yangzhou.

Build a memorial arch, reward a pair of beasts, a thousand taels of silver, a hundred zhang of cloth, and a hundred jars of wine.

The second son was recommended by the magistrate, and because of his outstanding martial arts and meritorious killing of bandits, he was also rewarded a lot.

The second son is not only a good martial artist, but also a foodie, and he was also very worried about Yuan Rui's food last time.

This time there is a chance to come again, the second son did not stop his mouth all the way, looking at him, the two ladies kept laughing while listening, and finally even the eldest son couldn't listen to it, the second brother of the all-round man in civil and military affairs was not confused.

After lunch, a few people are gone!!

According to them, if you don't go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will spend it here, and there will be no food anywhere else!

Let's talk about business, in fact, the two sons are really in trouble.

The eldest prince is going to Jianye for a study tour at the end of the month, and he is also preparing for next year's examination.

The second son went to Songjiang at the end of the month to tidy up the storefronts that had been smashed and robbed by the bandits in the early stage, and to reorganize the surrounding relationships.

The two of them came for one thing, and invited Yuan Rui to go out for a walk with them to see what he meant.

Yuan Rui didn't understand why these two brothers made an appointment with him, and they didn't lack companions, whether they went to Jianye or Songjiang, it didn't have much to do with him.

Yuan Rui has a clearer idea, can not underestimate the aquaculture industry, this is a major matter related to people's livelihood, the current people do not have the concept of scale, most of them are individual thinking.

It is no wonder that the current transportation and logistics cannot play a role in circulation at all, so many commodities are often traded according to the rule of rare and expensive.

Ginseng fur from the northeast is a rarity when it is transported to the south, and silk from Yangzhou and Hangzhou has become a luxury item when it arrives in Longzhou.

Yuan Rui didn't want to engage in anything like grain and porcelain, which was highly competitive and risky, and looking at the thousands of troops on the river beach, he thought of a good business.

Now cotton crops have not been widely planted, and there is no cotton clothing and quilt, in the south of Yangzhou, most families use either kapok or coarse hemp.

There are also some furs, but those are not well handled, not only have a taste, but also do not keep warm, many wealthy people disdain to use them, and more are filled with animal fur, that guy is too heavy.

Looking at the seemingly sincere looks of the two brothers, his heart moved, isn't this the favorite thing of the people after a thousand years, autumn travel, hundreds of millions of people travel, crowds everywhere, accommodation prices, food prices, and a lot of stealing and bullying customers.

Glancing at the eagerness on Yuan Qing's face on the side, Yuan Rui somewhat understood, they were still not sure about themselves, and wanted to see what they thought, whether they were thinking about the rich countryside and being happy with the countryside.

If you look at these two places, Songjiang has almost become a merchant's paradise now, and of course in the future.

Jianye, how many scholars want to occupy a place on those hundreds of steps in order to dream of a ten-year cold window. Yes, so be it, it's okay anyway, it's much better to go out and see.

"If you can't live up to the good intentions of the two brothers, then I'm welcome, but there is one thing I want to make clear in advance."

Yuan Rui agreed, and said seriously.

"You also know that my mess is still muddy, entangled in these, it's really not much, if you go out, all the expenses will have to be paid by you!"

Originally, the two of them looked at Yuan Rui's serious expression, they didn't know what conditions he would make, and they were still afraid that Yuan Rui would say something, but when they heard it, they were directly stunned, but the two ladies on the side burst into laughter.

"You ......," the eldest prince couldn't cry or laugh, pointing at Yuan Rui speechless.

"I think so, go to Songjiang with the second son first, I still have a business to talk to some bosses in Songjiang, and when the matter is finished, I will go directly to Jianye. I won't participate in my brother-in-law's study tour, but I can play it, and I have to ask my brother-in-law to be a guide and travel Kyoto for free. ”

The more Yuan Rui said, the more he felt good, and he could experience the mood of the ancients.

The other people looked at Yuan Rui's smug expression, and for the first time found that this person seemed to be a little shameless!!
