On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Yunxi and Lu Yan went to pay Xie Yuanming New Year greetings in the morning.
On the third day of junior high school, Liang Jinan and others came to play with her.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, He Yunxi received a box of jewelry, a gift from the concubine and the queen mother. Every item was exquisite, beautiful, not old-fashioned, and very suitable for her age.
It doesn't matter who brought it up first.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, He Yunxi went to confirm the opening of the hot pot restaurant.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, the three little overlords asked her and Lu Yan to take them to the military camp outside the city.
In the second year of junior high school, He Yunxi and Lu Yan originally wanted to pay New Year's greetings to Pei Yuan, but Pei Yuan sent someone to ask for a military camp, so they didn't go.
Women were not allowed to enter the military camp, so after arriving outside the city, He Yunxi and them went to Zhuangzi separately, while the others took their things to the military camp.
He Yunxi went to see the duck farm.
The duck farm is almost ready, and sheds have been erected beside several ponds. Because the weather is too cold now, there are no ducklings, only large ducks and half-grown ducks bought from elsewhere.
"There are now a total of 5,000 large ducks, 8,000 half-sized ducks, and 12,000 ducklings on Zhuangzi." Li Ming, the head of the village, said.
He Yunxi calculated in his mind that if he sold two hundred ducks a day, the five thousand big ducks would only be enough to sell for twenty-five days. And after twenty-five days, some of the half-grown ducks could not be killed.
As for the amount of two hundred a day, He Yunxi said there was no problem.
Liaozhou is just a state city, and sometimes when business is good, the number of people is almost a hundred. As the capital of the Liang Kingdom, the purchasing power of the capital has definitely doubled.
Two hundred is just the quantity she expected in the early stage. Later, when the reputation is established and branches are opened, there will be more.
"It's not enough." She looked at the ducks. "Before March, we guarantee a quantity of two hundred ducks a day, and after March, a quantity of four hundred ducks a day. Based on this consumption level, recalculate the number of ducks you raise."
Li Ming seems to be an honest person, but anyone who can be the head of the village has a lot of brains.
"Master, if these ducks cannot be sold, the daily consumption of food will be a big expense."
"I know." He Yunxi said, "Just follow this standard, I will make my own arrangements for the rest."
Seeing He Yunxi's insistence, Li Ming agreed and sighed in his heart.
In his opinion, He Yunxi was so young and took things for granted. If he bought so many ducks and couldn't sell them, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with them later.
Ducks are not as popular as chickens.
But she is the master, and she insists on doing this, and they, the servants, can only obey.
Alas, there is still so much food in the warehouse anyway, spring is coming soon, and by then the weeds on the mountains and below will be able to raise a lot of ducks.
Thinking of a previous incident, Li Ming said: "Master, the tenants on Zhuangzi saw that we need ducks here and want to raise ducks and sell them to us. Is that okay?"
"Yes. As long as they feed them well, they can feed them as much as they want. It can also be considered as a source of income for everyone."
Today's farmers' income comes from the land, but the food grown on the land is only enough for the family to survive. If you want to live a good life, it is still not enough.
But if you can raise ducks to increase your income, your life won't have to be so tight. You can still eat meat occasionally, and you don't have to be afraid to see a doctor when you get sick.
When the tenant came to find him, he was not sure whether He Yunxi would agree, so he just asked with the intention of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, He Yunxi agreed.
"I would like to thank my master for everyone."
"This is also a matter of mutual benefit, so you don't need to thank me. Those who are willing to raise them, let them raise them well." He Yunxi said, "But you have to manage this matter well. I don't want anything to happen to Zhuangzi because of this. Once something happens,
Then I don’t want any of the ducks they raise.”
"I know. I will definitely remind them."
Li Ming was not surprised by He Yunxi's decision. They were also very aware of things like sitting. When everyone raises ducks later, they must supervise each other to ensure that nothing happens, causing everyone to be unable to raise ducks for sale in the end.
He Yunxi walked around the village and determined the number of acres of corn to be planted after spring.
Hearing her talk about wanting seed corn, Li Ming's mood became complicated again.
He also knew that corn was a crop with low yield and not many people liked to eat the corn grown. Why would the county owner want to grow corn?
He Yunxi did not explain to him, but just said: "As for the planting of corn, I brought a person here. Then other things will be up to you, and corn planting will be up to him."
Li Mingying came down, feeling that He Yunxi wanted to share his power, so he went back with a heavy heart.
Li Yong, who had opened the door for He Yunxi and the others before, saw that Li Ming was looking bad and asked him what happened. Li Ming told He Yunxi's words and his own guess.
After hearing this, Li Yong thought for a while and said, "Dad, I don't think the county leader wants to divide your power."
"no?"
"If the county boss doesn't want you to manage Zhuangzi, he can just remove you. The deed of sale of our family is in the hands of the county boss. If she wants to remove you, can we still object? So she doesn't need to do the decentralization of power at all.
matter."
Li Ming opened his mouth. Although his son's words didn't sound right, they were indeed true.
He Yunxi only needed one sentence, and there was really no need to go to such trouble.
"Then when she asked a person to come over and plant corn, did she really plant corn?"
"Maybe the county boss has a way to increase corn production, and that person is really here to grow corn!" Li Yong guessed, "The county boss can become a county boss from a commoner, so he must be capable. We can't underestimate it.
County Lord."
Li Ming was a little ashamed by his son's words. He was indeed good at farming. He complained in his heart that He Yunxi didn't know how to farm and gave blind orders.
It seems that he is not as clear-minded as his own son.
Li Yong heard from Li Ming that He Yunxi also wanted to expand the scale of the duck farm, regardless of the fact that it was still during the Chinese New Year and he was going to find duck sellers despite the light snow.
He Yunxi returned to Zhuangzi to wait for Lu Yan and the others. He thought they might not come back until the afternoon, but he didn't expect that they would be back before noon. Pei Yuan was also back together.
"Master." He Yunxi hadn't seen Pei Yuan for a long time, and was still a little excited when he saw him, "Why are you here?"
"I already know about the skates, and I plan to go to the workshop to have a look." Pei Yuan said, "Lu Yan said you have something to tell me. What is it?"
