Chapter 399 Farming

When Han Jianming arrived in Suiyuan, Mrs. Ye had already woken up. But I was very weak and couldn't get out of bed.

After Dr. He showed it to Mrs. Ye, he said: "This lady is very weak, she must take good care of her, otherwise it will damage her lifespan..." It is not easy to say the word of premature death.

When Qiu heard this, she hurriedly said, "I will definitely take good care of it in the future." I have already arrived in the northwest, and I don't need to travel around anymore, and I can take care of my body with peace of mind.

Mrs. Ye looked at Han Jianming, with a smile on her face, and said, "Master, why are you here?" Seeing that Han Jianming brought the doctor over, Mrs. Ye was very relieved.

Han Jianming shook Ye Shi's hand and said, "I made you suffer." Ye Shi's poor health was also dragged down by this family.

Seeing this, Qiu got up and left, letting the couple speak slowly. After leaving the house, Qiu Shi said to Lu Xiu: "Xiu, pack up and go to Pick City tomorrow!" Qiu Shi knew very well that his son would not stay here for long, and he probably had to go back to Pick City tomorrow. Qiu Shi intends to stay here to guard Ye Shi, and wait for Ye Shi to recover before leaving together.

Lu Xiu was taken aback and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? How could I leave you and sister-in-law behind and take the child away?"

No matter what Qiu Shi said, Lu Xiu refused to leave. Qiu's health is not very good, and her sister-in-law is seriously ill. At this time, she took her child to Pick City to make Yuxi think.

As Qiu expected, Han Jianming only stayed in Suiyuan for one day, and returned to Hao City. He had just begun to take over as the inspector, but if he left like this, the previous efforts would be in vain.

Yuxi is also a restless person. When she woke up in the morning, she saw that no one came to report the matter. Seeing that the weather was good, she even said that she would go to a farm in the suburbs. Xu Wu objected to no avail.

I brought jujube and went to the place where I tried to grow potatoes. Because there are not many good varieties, only two points of land are planted for trial every season.

Looking at the lush green, Yu Xi was very relieved. It seems that people who are good at planting crops are still needed. Like her before, all the crops were dead.

Yu Xi handed over the affairs of the farm to Han Ji. Yuxi didn't think it was a secret thing, but she was not sure whether yams could be grown in this land, and it was not easy to hand them over to other people.

Amber and other people who were working knew Yu Xi's identity, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Xi.

Yuxi waved her hand to get everyone up.

Han Ji said: "Ma'am, most of the plants that have been planted have survived. Amber said that they will be able to harvest in early November, and then you will know how much you can harvest for a piece of land." One of the potatoes.

Yuxi was not so optimistic, and said: "It's not too late to wait until the harvest comes." Now that she grows so well, there are still too many uncertainties. This yam is actually similar to wheat and corn, and there are also diseases and natural disasters, which will affect the harvest.

Knowing Yuxi's concerns, Han Ji said, "Ma'am, Amber said that yams cannot be planted in one field repeatedly, and must be planted in rotation with other crops."

Yuxi was very interested in this, and said: "Oh, what will happen if they are planted on one piece of land one after another?" She knew that peanuts cannot be planted continuously, otherwise the yield will be much lower if they are planted for the second time. will become lower and lower.

Han Ji relayed what he heard from Amber: "You will get sick, and you won't even be able to get back the seeds. Madam, these are their accumulated experiences, and there should be nothing wrong."

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Write all of these down, and if it is promoted in the future, I will tell everyone about these scruples."

After saying this, Yuxi muttered: "I have read so many books, but none of them seem to introduce how to plant." This is also a kind of omission.

Han Ji's eyebrows twitched,

But he didn't dare to answer. This kind of thing is not something he can say. Sometimes, Hanji thinks it's amazing. Thinking back when he was selected by the Duke of the State to follow his wife to the northwest, the people in the mansion either pitied him or laughed at him. As a result, he is becoming more and more decent now, and those who pitied him and laughed at him don't know where they are now.

When Yuxi saw Amber, she found that he was cutting a potato into several pieces. Yuxi asked: "What is he doing?" There are only a few potato seeds, and Yuxi doesn't think they will cut the potato for fun, there must be a reason.

After the yams were sown, Yuxi was also very concerned, but what she cared about was the survival rate of these yams, how they grew, and whether they had diseases.

There is no need to ask about this, Han Ji knows it. Han Ji took a potato, pointed to the bud eyes on it, and said, "Ma'am, look, this is called bud eyes. You can cut as many pieces as there are bud eyes on it, and plant them in the soil, and they will all survive."

Yuxi asked the most concerned question; "Can these come to fruition?"

Han Ji said with a smile: "I have asked, yes. In the future, they will all grow into luxuriant plants and produce fruitful yams."

As he was talking, he heard an exclamation. Yu Xi glanced around and saw Zao Zao chasing a lamb, but unfortunately she was too small, the lamb didn't catch up and she fell to the ground.

Yuxi's eyes fell on the little lamb, and she asked Han Ji: "Is there anyone raising sheep nearby?" Yuxi's farm raises sheep for the Governor's Mansion, only a few dozen, not too many.

Han Ji shook his head and said: "The price of a sheep is not low, only the rich can afford it." The price of cattle and sheep is not low.

Yu Xi didn't say anything, but she kept this matter in her heart. It is not enough to develop agriculture; animal husbandry must also be developed. However, this is not something that can be done in a sentence or two.

After lunch, Yuxi went back with Zao Zao. On the carriage, Yu Xi hugged Zao Zao and said, "Is it fun today?"

Zao Zao said happily: "It's fun, come again." There are not only lambs on the Zhuangzi, but also chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. Today, Zao Zao had a great time.

Yuxi smiled and patted Zaozao's little butt, and said, "You're having fun, but today the Zhuangzi is going crazy."

Zao Zao grabbed Yu Xi's sleeve, turned his head sideways, and opened his big eyes: "Ji Feigou Jump?" It seemed to be asking, what does Ji Feigou Jump mean!

Yuxi smiled and touched Zaozao's head, and before she could speak, she found that the carriage had stopped. Yu Xi lifted the curtain of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Wu quickly came over and explained: "There is a carriage broken in the middle of the road and it is being cleaned up." The road is not wide, and the carriage cannot pass without cleaning it up.

Yuxi didn't ask anything. After a while, the road was cleared.

Back in the backyard, Grandma Quan saw that Zao Zao's clothes were different from the ones she went out, and said, "You also said that the general pampered Zao Zao, I don't think you are going to give in too much."

Yu Xi smiled, Zao Zao is bound to take a different path in the future, so it is inevitable that Yu Xi will indulge her more. Now that she is young, she can play however she wants. When she starts to practice martial arts, she will have no choice but to play.

Sister Quan knew what Yu Xi meant, so she stopped talking about it: "By the way, Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Du sent a post today."

Yu Xi smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's because of Xu Wu's marriage!" Xu Wu's marriage has become a big problem.

Sister Quan thinks that Yu Xi is too worried: "You are so busy that you don't have time to drink your saliva, and now you have to worry about your subordinate's marriage, do you think you are superhuman?" After working so hard, Sister Quan is worried about Yu Xi's health Can't stand it.

Yuxi laughed, and said: "The general told me about Xu Wu's marriage two years ago, and I agreed to it. A man must keep his word, so I really have to handle this matter well." So it was Xu Wu, She doesn't care about other people's marriages.

Licorice entered the room and said, "Ma'am, Mrs. An is here, waiting in the study in the front yard." After Yuxi took over the external affairs, all the internal affairs were handed over to Grandma Quan. She only asks about big things.

An Zike told Yuxi about the taxes received in detail, and after speaking, he brought up the matter of reclaiming wasteland: "Madam, it's not appropriate to let the people continue to reclaim the land without restrictions. Otherwise, there will be huge troubles."

An Zike had mentioned this issue to Yu Xi before. But Yu Xi didn't reply at that time. Now, after a detailed understanding, Yuxi has also made a decision: "When the general comes back, I will issue an approval document at that time." In fact, there are still many wastelands in the northwest that can be reclaimed, but those are all in uninhabited places. In densely populated places, there is not much wasteland that can be reclaimed.

An Zike was quite satisfied with this answer.

Yuxi remembered what happened in Zhuangzi, and said: "The imperial court borrowed sheep breeds for the people to raise and develop animal husbandry. What do you think of this method?"

An Zike has been working with Yuxi for a while. At the beginning, he was always intimidated by Yuxi's whims, but now he is used to it: "Madam, the idea is very good. It's just that the common people have raised sheep. When the time comes Where will they be sold?" This borrowing of sheep is different from borrowing grain. Food is a necessity, but this sheep is not a necessity, and the cost is too high.

After a pause, An Zike said, "Ma'am, it's not appropriate to lend sheep seed to the people. But it's okay to lend it to herdsmen."

Yuxi smiled and said: "Then you draw up a charter for me first." Yuxi also has a shortcoming, that is, she is too cautious in handling things. Every matter must be sorted out before making a decision. Fortunately, Yu Xi doesn't care about military affairs or war matters.

After An Zike finished talking about the business, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard that Madam is showing Mrs. Xu, I wonder if it's true?"

Yu Xi smiled and said, "Why, Mrs. An has a good candidate?" It's not a secret that Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Du help look at girls of the right age, and it's normal for Mrs. An to know.

An Zike did have a candidate, a girl named Ling Ruoyun. Ling Ruoyun's father and An Zike are as close as brothers, so he has always been very concerned about Ling Ruoyun's marriage.

Yuxi smiled when she heard the name, and said: "Ling Ruoyun, um, this name is very pleasant. If it is convenient, please ask Mrs. An to bring Miss An to the house tomorrow." If you are in the capital, if you meet It must have been borrowed from the banquet and other methods. It's a pity that Yuxi is too busy and has no time to hold any banquet. (to be continued)
