Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother were in class over there, and Lu Jin and Qing Shu were playing chess under the lamp. When they heard a knock on the door, they looked at each other and blew out the oil lamp in unison.

Widow Cai knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. However, she was afraid of attracting others and did not dare to shout loudly, so she climbed up the courtyard wall with all her strength, trying to ride on the wall to get in.

Take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she climbed up the courtyard wall and looked in, she was stabbed in the shoulder by a long stick without seeing anything clearly in the dark. She lay down straight and fell to the ground. The pain was so painful that she let out a grunt in her throat and almost lost her breath.

Go.

Half a day later, when I got up from the ground, I felt that all the bones in my body had been shattered.

This time, I didn’t dare to climb the wall again. I knocked on the door lightly and said, "Princess, I am your little grandma. I have something to say to you. Please let me in."

Lu Jin rolled his eyes and thought to himself: This woman really knows how to take advantage of her, and she deserves it?

He signaled to Qingshu that if she still dared to climb the wall, she should continue to poke down.

But obviously, Widow Cai didn't dare to climb the wall anymore. After saying a few words outside, she saw that the people inside refused to open the door, so she could only walk away angrily.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu came back from class and asked what was going on with the knock on the door just now. Qingshu told them about their little grandma coming over, and the siblings had black lines on their heads: Who acknowledged her?

Really? You really dare to recognize your relatives randomly.

However, the princess's family currently does not even have a caretaker, and no one can come out to answer the door when she is not at home.

When spring comes, we have to build the farm quickly. By then, we will have several more floors of yards, so we won’t be afraid of being tied up in trouble.

The gatekeeper must find someone with a sharp tongue. If anyone dares to take advantage, he will be beaten to death.

Lin Xiaoman took out the farm diagram she drew, which she designed based on a certain farm game. The farm has fields, ponds, and grass, and an irrigation system needs to be dug throughout the farm.

It covers an area of ​​dozens of hectares. In addition to the yard where they live, surrounding the yard where they live, there is a guard yard on the first floor, and beyond that is the farm owner's yard.

Some tenants' houses are built near their tenanted fields, which makes it easier for them to manage the land.

Lu Jin looked at the farm map that Lin Xiaoman took out and was amazed. If the farm was surrounded by walls, it would be like a small city, completely self-sufficient.

Moreover, the inside was like an irrigation system, not only the materials used but also the scale, which he had never seen before, and he didn’t know how Lin Xiaoman came up with this.

"Don't worry, Xiaoman. I'll take this drawing and have it prepared right away. Once the land is melted in spring, construction will start immediately."

"Well, it's not too urgent. There may be changes in some places. You can just let people prepare it first. When the construction starts, I will take a look at the site."

Lu Jin took the blueprint and pondered it all night. When he got up early, he asked Lin Xiaoman if he could use the blueprint elsewhere?

Lin Xiaoman thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, especially the irrigation system. Like some dry and water-scarce areas in the northwest, if a diversion canal could be dug, it would benefit generations to come.

It's just that this road is not easy to walk, especially in the modern era of purely manual excavation, it is destined to be a long and arduous journey.

Lu Jin disagreed. With the efforts of the whole country, the Grand Canal can be dug, but it is just a small canal. Why is it so difficult? Doesn’t it just take time?

When there is enough food to eat, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the population of the people will increase. It will not take more than ten or twenty years, and there will no longer be a shortage of labor. Just dig the canals slowly, even if he can't see the whole country in his life.

The day when ditches are dug from top to bottom, his sons and grandsons will always be able to see that day.

Along with the drawings, Lu Jin was given a copy of Lin Xiaoman's worries about the next few years. For example, with new grains, the country will become richer and richer, and at the same time, it will attract the covetousness of neighboring countries.

Especially those small countries that are constantly experiencing natural disasters and never have enough food to eat. If they unite to plunder or even invade the country, they will definitely suffer a big loss if they are not prepared.

Lin Xiaoman couldn't understand why Xu Yuanru had so much confidence in Lu Jin, believing that he would be able to stop the enemy's invasion.

Perhaps it comes from the records of his achievements in history books, but it is obvious that Lu Jin has this ability.

Sure enough, after Lu Jin received the few concerns about the future that Lin Xiaoman gave him, he only remained silent for a moment, then picked up paper and pen to write a few letters, and asked Qingshu to send them out overnight.

Seeing how seriously he attached so much importance, Lin Xiaoman didn't think much about it. These matters were not something she could solve. Instead of worrying about national affairs, she might as well think about the fruits and vegetables that were about to be harvested in the greenhouse recently.

As for Widow Cai who came to visit her out of nowhere, she didn’t even remember this person.

Lin Daqiang usually seems to be honest and honest, but it is quite damaging to him. Ever since Widow Cai entered Old Lin's house, he has also given Widow Cai the task of delivering food to Old Mrs. Lin.

Widow Cai was reluctant at first, but later she realized that every time Mrs. Lin hated her to death but could not hit her, she felt extremely proud.

Every time I gave Mrs. Lin food that looked good on the surface but was sour inside, outsiders only thought that Widow Cai was very good to Mrs. Lin, her first wife, but they didn't know what she was doing secretly.

Mrs. Lin cursed in the stone house every day. The more she scolded outsiders, the more she thought she was crazy.

What kind of rotten rice was given to her? When no one else saw it, what Widow Cai gave her was delicious? I even saw a large piece of fat meat in the bowl that day, which made the old lady think about it even more.

In the next few days, there were many affairs in the county. Lu Jin and Qingshu got up early every day and rode to the county before dawn. They rode back again after dark at night. They were seen several times by the villagers, but they only thought they were

They are going to Xu Qiuliang's home.

There was no doubt that they turned around and went to Lin Xiaoman's place.

Lin Xiaoman is used to them treating this place as their home, and will leave food and food for them no matter how late it is.

They are also used to Xiaoman and his brother disappearing for a period of time every night. If they come back during that time, they can just jump over the wall and enter the hospital without knocking on the door.

The vegetables in the greenhouse are cooked one after another, put into baskets, wrapped in thick quilts and sent to the city. Ordinary people can't afford it, but rich people rush to buy it.

As long as your home has a greenhouse, it can be said that you made a lot of money last year, more than you earned from farming this year.

In addition to vegetables, Lin Xiaoman's family also grows some off-season fruits, and wholesales a lot of vegetables and fruits from the market over there, mixes them in, and sells them together.

Jiujiu strawberries sell for thirty-five pounds per pound over there, but they cost one tael per pound here. Oranges, apples, peaches, bananas, pears... I got some of all kinds of fruits I've never seen before, but they don't need them.

The goods are so good that they sell for one tael of silver per pound.

If it is a high-quality fruit, the most expensive peach can be sold for five taels per pound.

Except for Qingping County, it has been sold in all counties in Wuzhou Prefecture.

Even if it will inevitably be damaged on the way, I won’t take any leftovers, even if it’s one tael of silver or two or three pounds.

In order to let the people in the county government earn some extra money, Lu Jin allowed the government servants to come to Lin Xiaoman's place to wholesale fruits and sell them when they had nothing to do. Even if they didn't make any money, they could still earn a few taels of silver in a day.
