In comparison, on the way back, you can always see corn stalks taller than people on both sides of the road, as well as slices of sweet potatoes.

After the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes harvested in Qingping County last year were sent to the capital, they were used as grain seeds by the imperial court and distributed to various states and governments.

Because the imperial court vigorously promoted Princess Qingping and the new grains she grew, the common people knew that these new grains were not only delicious, but also had high yields, and they did not cost money to buy as seeds. The common people were rushing to plant them in their own fields.

New grain.

It's a pity that there are only those kinds of grains. Not every family has the opportunity to grow new grains. In the past, the court had records of paying grain taxes. Whose fields were cultivated well and whose yields were high, those were the first to sow.<

/p>

That's it, along the way you can always see corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes growing just right on the roadside.

The sweet potatoes are not yet harvested, but the corn is ready to be cut into green sticks.

Lin Xiaoman wanted someone to buy some green sticks to try, but when he asked, he asked for twenty cents per stick, which was the price. Because he wanted more grain seeds, the court did not allow farmers to buy and sell them casually.

Lin Xiaoman didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he gave Xu Yuanru a look. Xu Yuanru reluctantly drove away in the carriage. When she came back, there were a few sacks of corn cobs in the carriage.

Lin Xiaoman pointed his thumb at her, and Xu Yuanru snorted proudly: The corn grown in her space is much better than the malnourished ones on the roadside.

Afraid of being suspected of being spoiled by plums in the melon fields, Lin Xiaoman and his party drove for a while until the nearest cornfield was more than ten miles away before someone took out the corn. Some of it was burned directly on the fire and some of it was cooked in a pot.

, and soon the sweet aroma of corn was floating in the air.

Lin Xiaoman loves to eat green cob corn, but compared to the pure natural green pollution-free corn he ate last year, the corn grown in Xu Yuanru’s space is many times more delicious, and one bite is full of sweetness.

But there were hundreds of people. No matter how much corn Xu Yuanru brought out, it was only enough for one person to eat one stick. After eating, he was still unsatisfied. Lin Xiaoman asked Xu Yuanru to 'buy' a few more bags when he stayed at the hotel in the evening, kill a pig, and stew pork and beans.

Corn. Of course, the ingredients are all provided by Xu Yuanru.

Xu Yuanru also accepted her fate and willingly followed Lu Jin's people to take care of food and accommodation.

Just walking and eating like this, it was already mid-July when we returned to Hedong Village, Qingping County.

The group first returned to the county government office, where Lin Xiaoman met the legendary Mrs. Qing.

Mrs. Qing is a woman who looks to be in her forties, with gentle eyebrows, but a thin body that could be blown away by a gust of wind. Lin Xiaoman is worried about whether she can adapt to the winter in Qingping County.

However, there is a kang in Qingping County in winter, and her newly built farm is even paved with earth dragons. As long as the burning is good, it will be much more comfortable than the cold and humid weather in the south, and it should be better.

In addition to her husband Zhou Deshui, Mrs. Qing also came to Qingping County with her son and his family.

Mrs. Qing's son is called Zhou Hongfei. He is a simple and honest young man. He is the same age as Lu Jin, but he is already the father of three sons. Even Lin Xiaoman clicked his tongue when he saw it.

Zhou Deshui gained Lu Jin's trust because of his relationship with Mrs. Qing. It happened that Lin Xiaoman's villa was built and needed manpower to manage, so Zhou Deshui temporarily became the general manager of the farm. Zhou Hongfei also worked as a manager in the farm, mainly responsible for the external affairs of the farm.

Zhou Hongfei's wife is a cheerful woman. Due to Mrs. Qing's poor health, she has been left to handle all the big and small things in the family since they got married. Lin Xiaoman felt that she was a housekeeper at first sight, so after getting married, she took care of the backyard.

If you leave everything to her to take care of, you can feel much more relaxed.

After meeting, Mrs. Qing and her family returned to the newly built farm with Lin Xiaoman, while Lu Jin stayed in the county office to handle the county affairs left over for several months.

When Lin Daqiang learned that Lin Xiaoman was back, he waited at the intersection early. As soon as he saw someone, he led Lin Xiaoman and his sister to the farm.

After several months of construction, the farm has been completed. In addition to the large tracts of farm land outside, a huge villa has been built near the foot of the mountain.

Standing outside the villa, you can feel the huge scale of the villa.

Zhuangzi is divided into two parts: the inner village and the outer village. The inner village is close to the foot of the mountain. There are hundreds of houses and are divided into more than a dozen large and small courtyards. This time, I am not afraid that the gold, silver, treasures and other things brought back from the capital will be lost.

Stored.

Mrs. Qing and her husband were arranged by Lin Xiaoman to live in the outer courtyard of the inner village. They were closer to the courtyard where they lived and could take care of each other.

The outer village is a courtyard for the servants of the village. The servants of the Lu family who happened to be brought back from the capital were placed here. In addition to the affairs in the village, there is no shortage of manpower for external affairs.

Several workshops were built on the periphery, and there were even a few inns where tourists or businessmen could stay. Even teahouses and restaurants were available. The stewards were selected from the servants brought by the Lu family, but the workers and clerks were

We need to recruit workers from outside.

The area of ​​the outer village is more than ten times that of the inner village. Although there is still a lot of open space left for future construction, such a large project was completed within half a year, which shows how much manpower and financial resources were used.

It can also be seen that as long as the villa is operated, the benefits will be equally huge.

Xu Yuanru felt distressed as she went out to take things out. After taking out a few boxes, she would nag a few words, "This damn rich man, my aunt has worked hard for several years, and her savings are less than a fraction of others."

Lin Xiaoman patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Fuck with my sister, and she won't let you suffer."

Thinking that Lin Xiaoman is now a rich woman with a million taels of money, and thinking about the Lu family fortune that she helped Lu Jin transport back from the capital, Xu Yuanru decided to empty out Lin Xiaoman's family fortune bit by bit. She wanted to be the most powerful person in the Ning Dynasty.

The rich man.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what she was thinking. If he knew that he would definitely welcome her and wanted to empty out her family's wealth, why not give her corresponding good things in exchange? Anyway, she had been coveting the things in Xu Yuanru's space for a long time.

Before Lin Xiaoman came back, Lin Daqiang had already recruited everyone according to her request. When she came back, she checked again and found that there were no problems. With an order, the workshops in the villa began to open one after another.

Among them, the chili deep-processing workshop attracted a lot of customers as soon as it opened. There are several types of chili sauces. Unfortunately, the preservation technology is not mature at this time, and these products cannot be transported over long distances.

But that doesn't stop Lin Xiaoman from asking Lu Jin to open the workshop elsewhere. As long as the formula is kept secret, he can always make good money for several years.

As soon as the chili pepper workshop opened, the surrounding area was always filled with a pungent smell. Fortunately, the workshop was located far away, otherwise no one would be able to live in the villa.

In addition to the chili pepper workshop, there is also a wine-making workshop in the villa. The wine-making methods are all brought by Lin Xiaoman. In addition to white wine, fruit wine is also made. As for the taste, it will take some time to know.

In addition to several large workshops, there are also small beaded flower workshops run by Uncle Lin's two cousins, which are also very popular. The eldest uncle, Yao, is not young anymore, and she goes around wearing beaded flowers all day long.

It’s to attract business for my family.
