Chapter 163 Building a Tea Garden

"Chief, we plan to build a tea garden in your village." Shen Jia said calmly.

Patriarch Zeng shook his head and built a tea garden. Is this what he thought?

"Forgive me for being stupid, but I don't understand what the young master means? Please make it clear." Patriarch Zeng said with cupped hands.

"This kind of tea trees are planted on several hillsides around your village. We have two options for you to choose from. The first option is that the tea garden will be built with the money of the county owner. You will work in it and get paid every day. The county will The Lord will take out another dividend and distribute it equally to each family in your village.

The second plan is for the princess to lend you money first so that you can build your own tea gardens. When the tea is harvested, you can repay the money to the princess in batches. As long as you fry the tea leaves according to the requirements, you don't have to worry about sales, someone will come to buy it. "

Patriarch Zeng looked confused when he heard this. The princess would pay for them to build a tea garden?

Seeing that he was confused by what he heard, Xiao Yichen explained: "This is the fiefdom of the princess. The princess is kind-hearted and hopes that you all can live a good life with plenty of food and clothing. After our inspection, we found that the tea in your village is particularly good. Make a tea garden here and sell tea to all parts of the Zhou Dynasty, thereby improving your poor life."

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned red.

Heshui Village is the most remote mountain village in Cang County. Most of the villages only have one acre of thin fields. On weekdays, in addition to planting the little thin fields, everyone goes to the mountains to find wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

And because it is too far away from the county seat and the mountain roads are rugged, it takes at least three hours to walk to the county seat. It is difficult for them to even go to the county seat to do casual work.

That day, the guards of the county government came to Heshui Village to inform Chief Zeng for a meeting. When they went back to tell Cheng Guangyuan about the situation, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen happened to be at the county government, so they planned to come in person to see if they could find any business opportunities. Unexpectedly, they discovered it. thing.

Patriarch Zeng did not make a decision immediately, but bowed and said: "You two young masters, please allow us to go back and discuss it carefully before giving you an answer, okay?"

Shen Jia smiled and said: "Of course. By the way, I have good news for you. The princess will give you money to expand the road from here to the county seat. You can discuss it as soon as possible. After the road is built, you will build a tea garden immediately."

Patriarch Zeng's eyes widened: "Princess Princess will pay us to build the road?"

"Yes, it's about building roads. All the large villages in the three counties in the princess' fiefdom have built roads that can accommodate two carriages. I hope the people in your village will not be sneaky when building the roads and repair the roads as soon as possible." Shen Jia Said with a bit of naughtiness.

The elder of the Zeng clan burst into tears: "Wow! The princess is so kind! We live in the princess's fiefdom, we are blessed." Then his style changed, "Whoever dares to cheat and play tricks, I will see if I can kill him."

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen shook their heads and laughed.

The group of people returned to the village, and the two of them declined Patriarch Zeng's offer to stay, and left Heshui Village with their horses and whips raised.

Everyone in Heshui Village stood at the intersection and watched them leave. They didn't turn back to the village until their backs disappeared.

"Patriarch, do you think this is true?" The villagers actually believed it, but they were just too happy and wanted to confirm it again, feeling that this was the only way to vent their excitement.

"Of course it's true. I told you a few days ago that after the new year, you can study for free in the school opened by the county government for one year. If your boss likes to study, let him go after the new year."

"We are all farmers digging in the fields, and our ancestors have never read a book. Can we really let him go to school?"

"Why not? The princess said that as long as the grades are good, those from poor families can apply to study in the intermediate and advanced classes. I heard that those who are talented and study seriously and diligently can be admitted to the junior high school in one year. Woolen cloth!"

"But Heshui Village is still too far away from the county seat. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. How can I read it?"

"After the road is repaired, let's jointly buy a carriage in the village and take the children to school in the morning and evening. I heard that the princess is going to build a winery. From now on, she will buy walnuts, dates and other fruits to make wine every year. In the future, , there are many opportunities to make money!”

"What are we going to do about the tea garden?" "Stupid! Of course the tea garden comes first!..."

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen were sitting on a rock halfway up the road roasting pheasants.

Chief Zeng invited them to have dinner at his home, but they refused. There was little food in the village, and the journey to the county seat was long. Even if they had money, it would be difficult to buy food. If they ate at his home, they would eat them. Two days of food rations.

Xiao Yichen looked at the roasted chicken, and Shen Jia was going to pick some diamonds and dates.

At this time, there are not many dates on the jujube tree, but they are extra sweet.

"Jiajia, let's go directly to Cangxian County!"

Shen Jia blamed herself: "Okay, it's my fault too. I didn't think of building roads earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until now."

Xiao Yichen rubbed her hair, "How can I blame you? I didn't think of it, didn't I?"

"That's right! Hahaha!"

The two of them rode horses and galloped all the way to Cangxian County Government Office.

When Cheng Guangyuan saw the two men coming so quickly, he thought something had happened. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if the two young masters are here. I am not waiting for you at a distance. Please forgive me!"

"There is no need to be nervous, Magistrate Cheng. We have something you need to do this time."

"You two gentlemen, if you have any questions, just tell me. I will try my best to handle it."

"We are planning to expand the road sections leading to every large village in the county into roads that can accommodate two carriages traveling parallel..."

Each village is responsible for its own section of road first, and then goes to other villages to help. Each village has a person in charge to supervise and record their road construction time.

"You mean three counties are building roads at the same time?" Cheng Guangyuan confirmed again.

"Yes, so you must make it clear to the person in charge of each village. I can calculate how many people will build the long road and how long it will take. If any village dares to fish in troubled waters, don't blame me for not being able to get married by then. We don’t even give them wages or high-yielding grain seeds.”

"I understand, I will bring them over for a meeting tomorrow. If anyone dares to fish in troubled waters, I will not forgive him."

"Well! My money didn't come from the strong wind. If that village doesn't build the road well, it won't need to be repaired. This is three thousand taels of silver notes. You have people pay them every five days. After all the repairs are completed, The more you pay, the less you pay. We have to go to Bai County, so we won't stay any longer." Shen Jia took out three thousand taels of silver notes from his pocket and gave it to Cheng Guangyuan before leaving the county office with Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen looked at the tired expression on Shen Jia's face and felt extremely distressed: "Jiajia, why don't we go tomorrow? We have been riding out since midnight and haven't sat down to rest for a while. I'm afraid you will be exhausted. .”

Shen Jia patted her chest and said arrogantly: "Sister, you have such a strong body, how can you get tired so easily!"

Xiao Yichen's eyes were full of smiles, and he said helplessly: "I know you are in good health, but you can't be so busy! Think about how long it has been since you had a good rest."

"Okay! I understand." Shen Jia responded obediently.
