Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 174 Zhuangzi Arrives
When Mingyu and his party came to the farm, the whole land was covered with snow, and it was white as far as the eye could see.

"Miss, here we are."

Yang Wu got out of the carriage first, then raised the curtain, and a charming woman slowly moved out of the carriage. With the help of Yang Wu's hand, she got out of the carriage with her face covered, and everyone could only guess. A woman's age, but I don't know her appearance.

"Hi, miss." A large group of people gathered at Zhuangzi's gate, followed by the steward who took the lead to greet Mingyu.

Mingyu looked at the group of people, big and small, old and young, and nodded her head before speaking.

"Everyone go back to the village first and gather in the hall." After speaking, the steward stepped forward and led Mingyu to the hall.

"Miss, there is not much food in the village, and the winter here is too long, what should we do?" The steward led Mingyu forward, and anxiously reported the situation of Zhuangzi to Mingyu. .

"I asked you to arrange for someone to build Zhuangzi's house and turn over all the land. Are you done?" Mingyu asked.

"The house was built according to the drawings you gave, and all the land was plowed before it snowed, but all the sweet potatoes we planted before snowed and died."

"Then it's nothing. I brought some food. I can supply it for a while. I will buy some and send it later. How big is the nearby river and how far is it from Zhuangzi?"

"Miss Hui, the river is farther away from Zhuangzi, but there is a big lake not far from Zhuangzi, but now the lake is frozen, and the water Zhuangzi uses is boiled snow."

"Well, are all the people in Zhuangzi registered?" Mingyu asked while looking at the scale of Zhuangzi.

"All registered, Zhuangzi has a total of 260 seven people, 30 people are arranged here by the seniors, 140 three are strong men, 78 are women and children, and 18 are old men."

"Good job." Mingyu praised.

"Miss, I don't understand one thing. You know that it will snow in the north, so why did you ask someone to plow the land?" the steward asked suspiciously.

Before coming here, Mingyu explained that the land should be plowed before the snow. The steward who had been staying in the south thought that the snow would not last long here, so he plowed the plow as soon as it really snowed. I found that the heavy snow in the north can reach knees in a few days, and the land is frozen, so what's the use of plowing.

"Didn't you just experience floods before? The insects ran to the deep ground to bury their eggs. Only by turning the ground over, the heavy snow can freeze the eggs to death, so that there will be fewer insects in the cultivated land next year."

"So that's the case, Ms. Xie taught me." The steward saluted Mingyu before continuing to walk.

"Miss, after I arrived in Beidi, I talked to the old farmers here and found out that it will take until March to sow here, and the harvest will not be until July and August. For such a long period of time, we can't always rely on selling grain or transporting it from Zhuangzi to here. Bar?"

"Well, I know that, I have my plan, don't worry, I'll discuss it with you later, let's deal with the current matter first, you send some people to unload the things."

"Okay, when Miss Hui has a meeting, I'll arrange for someone to unload the car."

"Well. I plan to arrange two stewards for the village. You are one of them, and the other is Yang Er. What's your opinion?" Mingyu turned to look at the steward and asked.

"It's all up to the lady's arrangement, won't the lady bring a few more people here? I just brought Yang Wu to accompany you, will it be a little less?"

"That's enough. We don't need so many people. It's not easy to walk in this snowy day. It will be more convenient to toss a few sleds. I will give you the blueprint later, and you can find someone to get it."

"Ok."
