Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 245 Good News

When Master Yao heard what she said, he glanced at her helplessly, nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go!" Yao Cunhui backed away.

"Third brother?" Master Yao raised his eyebrows and thought for a while before realizing who Yao Cunhui was referring to.

Yao Shizan is the eldest, and Yao Shili of the second room is the second. Isn't his bastard Yao Shizhe the third younger brother?

It seems that I haven't seen Zhe'er for a long time!Mr. Yao couldn't help but flash the little face of the doll with pink make-up and jade, those big watery eyes like black grapes always stared at him and cried "ahhh".His heart couldn't help but soften a little.

The next day, Master Yao brought Yao Shizan to the rice shop, and the shopkeepers from top to bottom saw it, and they all knew it well: this is the real young master coming!He was extraordinarily polite and friendly to Yao Shizan.

Master Yao was also very patient, taking Yao Shizan around shop by shop, shop by shop, explaining to him in detail, so that he could have a general impression.Then slowly give him various means and abilities to deal with affairs.He also specially greeted Hao shopkeeper and Lin accountant in advance, and asked them to teach him a lot.

Yao Cunhui watched the father and son get into the carriage to go to other shops, and couldn't help feeling a little sour while being happy.Sons and daughters are different!Back then, she racked her brains and racked her brains to get a chance to watch and study, but it was just to leave her in a shop at will, and let her toss with the shopkeeper by herself.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper Lin she met was a good man, a good man with ability, and the shopkeepers in that shop were also good people. After a series of coincidences, they finally got their status today.How could it be as easy as my brother?

After sending the father and son away, Yao Cunhui talked about Huxiang to shopkeeper Hao.

Shopkeeper Hao was also full of joy when he mentioned this matter, before he started talking, he praised her well first, which made Yao Cunhui feel a little embarrassed.

The climate in Huxiang is suitable, the water source is abundant, and the land is fertile. It has a bumper harvest in the first year!Now that all the rice has been harvested, Master Yao has ordered to hire people to reclaim another [-] mu of wasteland, and strive to reclaim all the land this and next two years, which will be used as the foundation of the Yao family's rice business. The important food source bases are properly managed by proper people, so that they will not have to worry about being choked by people in the future.

It is said that after the news of the bumper harvest at Yao’s farm spread across the south of the Yangtze River, the land price in Hu Township skyrocketed, and countless gentry and landlords in the nearby towns and wealthy families sent people to buy land. The supply is in short supply, it doesn't matter if you can't buy it at all!

With the influx of a large number of people, it has driven the development of related industries and economies. Today's Hu Township has a considerable scale of people coming and going!

I heard that Mr. Zhao has made great achievements in governance and will be promoted next year...

"I really want to go there again to see what it's like now!" Yao Cunhui listened to Hao's description, and couldn't help being fascinated while being excited.

If Hu Township continues to develop at this rate, it won't be too far away from changing its name to Huzhou, right?
Suddenly I thought of Master Zhao, if she were Master Zhao, she would definitely not want to be transferred from Huxiang at this moment.Staying there will definitely bring you more and more in the future than you can get elsewhere.

"Speaking of which, it's still the second young lady who has a sharp eye, really amazing! We all admire her foresight!" Shopkeeper Hao couldn't help but praise Yao Cunhui again as he spoke.

He boasted again, and Yao Cunhui was speechless...

Good things come in pairs.

The next day, Yao Cunhui received a letter from Miss Jinling. In the letter, apart from the intimate words of sister Daxu’s deep affection, it also mentioned the matter of Hu Township. She was grateful to her for buying [-] mu of land for herself but only spent a few dollars. He joked that even if he stayed in Zhao's house and left home in the future, he would be rich enough to live a lifetime!
Yao Cunhui couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this, not knowing what expression his affectionate and dedicated eldest brother-in-law would have if he saw this.

Then he said that maybe next year when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, the couple will take their son Yan Geer to Beijing together, and then the sisters can have a good reunion.

Yao Cunhui was overjoyed when he saw the letter, and pressed the letter paper to his chest. The corners of his mouth could not help but smile, his heart was jumping with joy, as if the world was much wider.

At the end of the letter, Yao Cunhui was even more shocked by what Yao Cunjia said.In the letter, she mentioned cotton—Yao Cunjia naturally didn't know that the plant was called cotton, and Yao Cunhui didn't tell them the name.She was talking about the plant that Yao Cunhui asked Xie Fuyun to pay attention to last time. Xie Fuyun got some seeds from a foreigner a few days ago, but he couldn't tell whether it was the kind Yao Cunhui was talking about. , along with the letter, brought some to Beijing for her to see for herself.

Yao Cunhui quickly put down the letter, unpacked and unpacked all kinds of gifts from her sister, and finally found cotton seeds in a small wooden box the size of a palm.

Looking at the black castor bean-like cotton seeds in his hands, Yao Cunhui felt his hands tremble slightly.

Yes, can't go wrong!That's exactly what it looks like.In her previous life, she was very sensitive to all kinds of plants, and she had seen this cotton seed in her hometown, so she definitely had no reason to admit her mistake!
If it is really promoted, in addition to endless money, it will also be a great thing for the benefit of all people!Among other things, the clothes are stuffed with thick cotton, which can save many people from freezing to death in winter!How can the warmth retention of kapok, reed flowers and the like compare with cotton?Fur, silk, etc., are things that rich people can afford.

Yao Cunhui raised her head and looked ahead, with some bright light jumping in her clear eyes, as if an ocean-like emerald green cotton field appeared in front of her eyes, blooming and fruiting in a blink of an eye, and the branches were covered with white cotton wool, which was picked , piled up like a snow mountain...

Yao Cunhui immediately ordered someone to study ink, and wrote a letter to Yao Cunjia, telling her that this is exactly what she was looking for. This kind of thing has a name called "cotton", and asked her to ask her brother-in-law to buy it for her and send it back to the capital. .

Next year, she will be able to try planting, and I hope it will not be too troublesome to experiment.

Yao Cunhui couldn't help but feel a little headache. Large-scale agricultural planting requires high technical requirements, but she is a layman in the field of agriculture, and she doesn't know if planting will be too troublesome.As for cotton, it seems that she only knows that there is one kind of pest called cotton bollworm that is the most severe—this was mentioned in the introduction of agricultural pests in the nature textbook in middle school; then, cotton needs to be topped when it grows to a certain stage—as for What stage is it, I'm sorry, we have to go through experiments...

Let's rely on the sky to eat!Something is better than nothing!
After much deliberation, Yao Cunhui had no choice but to comfort herself.

With the seeds in place, the next step is land for trial planting.Fortunately, cotton is a plant with strong adaptability. Except for the extreme north where the ice and snow are, it seems that it can grow all over the country.Just find a piece of land around the capital.

Yao Cunhui doesn't want people to know about this now, so naturally he can't use the Yao family's land to try planting in the Yao family's village, so he has to find another way.

The land should not be too far away from the capital, otherwise it would be inconvenient for her to look after it; nor should it be too close, otherwise the chances of being discovered would be too high.Moreover, the soil quality should be better, and the light should be sufficient.It is best to be in a rare valley near the capital, where the hatchback is expedient.

After much deliberation, Yao Cunhui went to look for Qianshan again.Only Qian Shan can help her in this matter.

Qian Shan's greatest advantage is that he listens to what she says and does what she says, never asks why, and never has the slightest hesitation.Yao Cunhui felt very relieved to tell him things.

"Miss Yao wants to find a piece of land near the capital?" Qian Shan thought with a smile and said, "I don't know Baoding—is it far away?"

"It depends on where Baoding is!" Baoding has a very wide boundary, not far from the capital city, but the furthest place in the southeast is next to Tianjin.

"Not far," Qian Shan said with a smile, "it's Xinghualing near Baiyangzi Lake. The villain thinks that place is just right for Miss Yao's requirements. It's not far from the capital, and the place is remote, so no one will go there. .”

"That's good," Yao Cunhui originally wanted to go and have a look first, but then thought that Qianshan has always been reliable in doing things, so why bother, Dang even nodded and smiled: "Then it's settled, and I have to trouble you to run for me. Come down to twenty or thirty acres. When the time comes, it’s best to help me find two honest and honest farmers who don’t like to talk too much. "

Qian Shan smiled after hearing "hehe", "Miss Yao doesn't need to be so troublesome, to be honest, the place the villain said is exactly my family's Zhuangzi. Because the place is remote, it is not too big, and I live here on weekdays." There is a family guarding it. He is the most honest and honest person, and he will never talk too much. If Miss Yao has any orders, just speak out!"

Yao Cunhui was slightly embarrassed, and thought, no wonder this kid said it so simply!He agreed quickly, as if he could be the master of the house!
While Yao Cunhui was thinking this way, she couldn't help but feel a little bit ashamed.Qian Shan regards her as her own family, and she is very happy in her heart.

"That's not good, if the third master comes back, will he—"

"No, no!" Qian Shan waved his hands again and again, patted his chest very resolutely and said: "Miss Yao, don't worry, our master will definitely not have any objections! You are willing to let him ask for it!" Qian Shan thought in his heart I can't wait to give myself to you, Miss Yao. Do you still care about such a broken piece of land?
Even though Yao Cunhui was not very thin-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, so he raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed, "Then Zhuangzi, is it your master's private property or the Shen family's property?"

I hate that Qian Shan's brain can't turn the corner sometimes, and he can't understand the meaning behind the words, so she has to say it clearly!

If it was Shen Quan's private property, then she would not have to bear any psychological burden, but if it was under the name of the Shen family, then she couldn't.Even if she married into the Shen family in the future, it would not be nice to let people know about it.

Only then did Qian Shan suddenly realize it, and smiled again: "Don't worry, this is my private property. At the beginning, the land was the property of one of my brothers before he left Beijing. No one was willing to buy it, so I bought it casually. It's still there for a few years and no one cares. Don't want to happen to be of some use to you!"

Yao Cunhui gave a "puchi" smile, and the matter was considered settled.She ordered Qian Shanqian to tell the family to sort out the land in winter, fertilize it thickly, and don't plant other things first, it will be useful to her next spring.In order to let the family do their best and not have to make a living by producing things from the land, Yao Cunhui sealed another 20 taels of silver and asked Qianshan to take it to them.
