Chapter 182 Warm House, the County Magistrate Comes
What to do with her?
Melomei thought for a moment, understood what he meant, and nodded immediately.

"Yes, but if you do things with me, you must abide by my rules."

Anyway, she needs a lot of people, and the 200-plus people in Meijia Village are just a drop in the bucket, not to mention the elderly and children, so there are not many people.

The villagers of Lude Village can save a lot of trouble by following along.

Seeing that Melomei readily agreed, Lu Qingmu immediately thanked Melomei happily.

Mei Luomei showed the blueprint to Mei Changduan, and said, "Grandpa, the village chief, the workshop and school will be built according to this. As for the colored glaze on the windows, I will ask someone to bring it in. You can discuss other materials with the craftsman. Go to Uncle Li to collect the required expenses, but only a little, and the quality must be good."

Mei Changduan accepted the drawings and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best and never let them cut corners."

Several people discussed it again, and finally decided that Melomei would provide the construction materials, and people from the two villages would contribute. Everyone will jointly build a university hall. The address of the school is located in the middle of Lude Village and Meijia Village.

As for the workshop, it was Mei Luomei who wanted to build it herself, and it belonged to her private property. Naturally, she paid the money to ask the villagers to help build it, and the supervisor was Mei Changduan.

"Grandpa, the village chief, the 20 taels of silver is your wages, please take care of the workshop."

Mei Luomei gave a look, and Xiao Wu immediately handed Village Chief Mei a money bag.

Mei Changduan shied away: "Meimei, I can't take this money. I can see the prosperity of the village in my lifetime, and I am already very satisfied."

She has contributed too much to the village, how can he ask for money.

"Grandpa Village Chief, one yard is worth one yard. You don't want money, but I can't let you supervise the work."

Melome lowered her face, pretending to be angry.

Seeing this, Mei Changduan had no choice but to accept the money, thinking in his heart that the job must be done well.

A group of them came and went in a hurry, and the building was empty after a while, only a few people were left on the spot.

"Meimei, you still have money to build such a big house?"

Mei Laoer asked worriedly.

There were so many people just now, it was difficult for him to speak.

"Father, I still have money. You don't know how much money your daughter has made recently."

Melomei smiled and said: "As far as the shops in the capital are concerned, each shop now has at least a few hundred or even a thousand taels of profit every day. Which shops with hot business can earn tens of thousands of taels a day!"

What she said is not a lie, now except for the Zhensi Building she gave to Mei Qiying, all her other shops in the capital have opened, and the business is pretty good.

As for the receiving shop managed by Yang Shitou, she asked Mei Xiang to buy a shop next door to open it up, and directly changed the buying shop into a grocery store. Now the Meijia buying store is called Meijia grocery store.

The grocery store sells rice noodles with oil, soy sauce and vinegar, and other agricultural products. People can come to buy things, and they can also exchange other things for the goods they need, so now the grocery store not only does not need to pay every day, but also has some extra profits. It means that she can directly harvest energy without paying any money.

Hearing this, Mei Er Er finally felt relieved and got up to continue working.

Melomei called him, "Father, you can get more seedlings. When I spread this thing, there must be a lot of people coming to buy seedlings. You and mother can also earn money with your strength."

Thinking of something, he said again: "The emperor rewarded me with a thousand hectares of fertile land and ten villages. I don't have time to see it. You can help me to see it when you have time."

Mei Er Er stopped in his tracks and asked, "What do you want to grow in those lands?"

Melomei said without hesitation: "Grow peppers, corn and tomatoes."

With the spread of potatoes and sweet potatoes, she doesn't need to grow these things. She needs to grow what others don't have, so that she can earn money.

Otherwise, everyone is planting, good things will rot on the street, and no one will pay for yours at that time.

Mei Laoer said: "After a while, I'll go over and have a look, and let someone plant it."

The good fields and Zhuangzi rewarded by the emperor have tenants, and they don't need to find additional people.

"Okay, then I will trouble Dad, I put the seeds in the warehouse."

She had prepared the seeds a long time ago and had someone pull them back to put them in the warehouse. The family knew about this.

Mei Laoer nodded, and said: "Father knows, don't worry, I'll go to work first."

Seeing that her father had left, Melomei was about to go back to the house, but Xiao Wu came to tell her that the carpenters in the village had arrived, so she went to tell them for a while, told them about the structure of the sofa and Simmons, gave them the drawings, and sent two people away. People, so I went back to the house with peace of mind.

Time flies and it's March [-]th...

Early in the morning, Mei Luomei was called up by Mei Luotao, asking the county magistrate to come and say hello.

Melomei slept on Simmons' bed, hugging the pillow and didn't want to get up. Hearing this, she said, "Father and the village head and patriarch will naturally greet him, and there is no need for me."

The carpenter in the village has strong hands-on skills. In just two days, he first got her a sofa and a Simmons, and finally let her live a good life lying on the sofa and sleeping on the Simmons.

She was the one who came up with the idea of ​​the pillow, and Mei Qiying and Mei Luotao sewed it for her.

The two have still sewn a lot and plan to sell them in their shop when they open the shop in a few days.

Seeing that she was sleepy, Mei Luotao just didn't want to get up, and said dumbfoundingly: "Sanmei, today is a big day for our house to warm up, you have to get up."

Yes, her house is a greenhouse.

Melome had to get up when she heard the words.

Seeing that she finally sat up on the bed, Mei Luotao immediately shouted outside: "Mei Xiang, your young lady has woken up."

She was quite busy at first, and she didn't realize that her younger sister was still on the lazy bed. It was Mei Xiang who came over early in the morning and couldn't wake up, so she went to report to her and asked her to help her. Only then did she realize that her third sister was still on the bed.

Mei Xiang had been waiting outside, and when she heard the sound, she immediately ran in to tidy up her young lady, and finally drove away the last drowsiness left by Melo Mei.

She and Mei Luotao took the maid downstairs and went to the front yard, and found that the yard was full of guests and friends, and there were people coming in from outside, making the yard very lively.

Seeing her coming, the magistrate of Qingtian County immediately brought some gentry out to salute her.

"The next official sees Princess Huan."

He made a gesture to kneel, but was grabbed by Shisan, "My master doesn't like others kneeling on her."

The county magistrate of Qingtian nodded and made a bow, which is considered to have been uncovered at this time.

The others followed suit and saluted her one after another.

Melomei said calmly: "Master County Magistrate, how is the harvest of the people in Qingtian County now?"

The county magistrate of Qingtian didn't know why she asked such a question, but he still respectfully said: "In the past, when the harvest per mu was the best, it was only three stones of grain. After the drought in the past three years, the harvest per mu was no more than once. This has to be good land, and the income of other fields is even worse. .”

So excluding taxes, farmers work almost for nothing for a year.

With such a poor income, Mei Luomei frowned and said: "I have some high-yield crops now, and I can sell the seedlings to all the people in Qingtian County at a low price, but all the crops they grow must be sold to my workshop when they mature this year. "
