Blessed Daughter

Wei Ruo first took Xiumei out to the nanny's. The nanny had bought a batch of wheat seeds for Wei Ruo, and they were now being stored in the warehouse where the sweet potatoes were stored.

In the past few days, because a large number of sweet potatoes have been transported away, a lot of space has been vacated in the warehouse.

Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to guard the door, and he lingered in the warehouse for a long time before coming out.

"Meimei, take Agui and Xiaoba to take these bags of rice seeds to the south of the city, and distribute some to each family. I would like to remind you that these rice seeds are good varieties, and this amount may not be enough to plant all the rice fields. Yes, we will use the ordinary grain seeds over there to make up for the leftovers." Wei Ruo instructed.

In a short period of time, Wei Ruo can only get so many space rice seeds, and she is afraid that if she waits any longer, the patience of the people in the south of the city will be exhausted.

Wei Ruo can also understand their anxiety very well. If they miss the planting time this year, it means that they will not have food supplies for the next year.

"Okay." After receiving Wei Ruo's order, Xiumei ordered Agui and Xiaoba to help transport all the grain seeds to the cart.

Agui and Xiaoba both showed some reluctance, especially Agui, who was a little older, who moved away for a while and quit, and said angrily: "Miss Xiumei, our lady is so dedicated to the affairs of Chengnan, but As a result, there is no Miss in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, which is so annoying."

It turned out that Agui and Xiaoba already knew about the court's rewards for the land reclamation in the south of the city. They followed Wei Ruo these days, and they got wages and appreciation, and there were many benefits.

If Wei Ruo was wronged, they naturally couldn't be happy.

Xiumei sighed: "One yard is equal to one yard. The lady started to open up wasteland not to claim credit, but to let more suffering people have enough to eat. Some people are unfair to the lady, and the innocent people in the south of the city cannot be implicated." Isn't it?"

A Gui and Xiao Ba looked at each other, and they were convinced.

Xiumei continued: "Don't worry too much. You are so considerate of the young lady. The young lady will be very happy when she finds out. Others can't understand the young lady, and even laugh at the young lady for emptying the bamboo basket. We, as young ladies, should understand the young lady. , Ms. Support."

Agui said: "I understand, Xiao Ba and I will work hard to help Miss."

The two no longer had any disagreements, and quickly loaded all the rice seeds in the warehouse into the car.

The ox cart that pulled the rice seeds followed Wei Ruo's carriage out of the south gate.

Outside the city gate, Qian Zhixian was also there, seeing Wei Ruo appearing, Qian Zhixian was pleasantly surprised and embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Zhixian brought people to Wei Ruo's carriage. Through the curtain of the carriage, Qian Zhixian said to Wei Ruo, "Miss Wei, are you here to deliver rice seeds to the people in the south of the city?"

Wei Ruo said, "It's not a gift, it's a sale."

It was originally a gift, but when Qian Zhixian asked, it became a sale.

"This..." Qian Zhixian's smile was a little stiff.

"I heard that Mr. Qian won many rewards this time, and I heard that he will be promoted after a good harvest in the coming year." Wei Ruoduan said unhurriedly through the curtain while sitting in the carriage.

"Thanks to Ms. Wei." Qian Zhixian also knew in his heart that if Miss Wei hadn't caused this incident, his promotion would not have come so quickly.

"Since this is the case, Mr. Qian might as well do a good deed for the people of Xingshan County. Mr. Qian will buy these grains and give them to the people who open up wasteland in the south of the city. What does Mr. Qian think of it?"

After hesitating for a while, Qian Zhixian bit the bullet and said: "It should be. I will take whatever money Miss Wei wants from me."

Qian Zhixian felt sorry for Wei Ruo, he had benefited from the other party, and now he really shouldn't let the other party contribute money and efforts to contribute to his political achievements.

Wei Ruo didn't talk nonsense with Qian Zhixian, and directly asked the price: "Two hundred taels of silver."

"Two hundred taels?" Qian Zhixian was obviously intimidated by the price.

A few carts of wheat seeds cost two hundred taels, which is a bit too expensive!

"If Qianzhi County thinks it's expensive, you don't have to buy it, but let me remind Mr. Qian that this time has already missed the normal wheat planting time, and the weather is cold early, so it's not easy to plant this batch of wheat well... "

Wei Ruo said half of what he said, and left the rest to Zhixian Qian to make up for himself.

Hearing this, Qian Zhixian's heart skipped a beat.

If the wheat can be planted, he can report to his superiors in the middle of next year. On the contrary, if the wheat fails, the rice will be affected later, and in the end he fails to complete a large-scale harvest, then he may have no hope of promotion!

Qian Zhixian quickly changed his words: "Two hundred taels are not expensive, so I will send people back to the house to get the silver!"

"I believe that Mr. Qian is a man of his word, so I will thank Mr. Qian on behalf of the people in the south of the city. I will distribute these wheat seeds first." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, Miss Wei has worked hard." Qian Zhixian smiled gratefully.

Of course, Miss Wei doesn't have to worry about him going back on his word, because what he bought for two hundred and two taels is not only grain seeds, but also Miss Wei's abilities.

After Wei Ruo led the people away, the magistrate Qian sighed: Hey, I really can't blame Miss Wei's family for this matter, and he wouldn't be happy about it.

But he was also confused about this matter, he didn't know what was going on.

Wei Ruo led Xiumei, Agui, Xiaoba and others to distribute the wheat seeds to the land reclamation people in the south of the city, and explained their planting-related matters, and asked them to adopt the method of hole sowing, concentrate the use of fertilizers, and keep the depth of sowing consistent .

Such a sowing method requires a relatively large labor cost, but it is conducive to improving production.

For Wei Ruo's exhortation, the people in the south of the city will remember it firmly, and no one dares to neglect it intentionally.

Whether they can have a good harvest next year depends entirely on Miss Wei! Miss Wei family asked them to do it, absolutely can't go wrong!

Wei Ruo got two hundred taels of silver from Qianzhi County after he finished his work.

After finishing his work in the south of the city, Wei Ruo returned to the city, seeing that it was still early, he went to Sibao Zhai first.

The nanny presented a new account book and told Wei Ruo the good news.

Although during this period of time, Wei Ruo provided a lot of supplies to help the people affected by the disaster, but overall it was still profitable.

The things purchased in advance and specially sold to the rich and powerful were still sold at a good price, which made Wei Ruo earn a lot of money.

"Miss, this is the account book of Xu Ji's grain store. These days, the business of the grain store is much better than that of Sibaozhai. The sales of rice and charcoal are especially good. Except for the sweet potatoes that you use to help the disaster-stricken people, miss, and you Those who asked were kept as food reserves, and the rest were sold short.”

In the recent situation, even the formerly wealthy families began to cut down on food and clothing. The goods sold in Sibaozhai are not as good as those sold in Xuji Grain Shop. It is very reasonable that the business is not as good as Xu Ji Grain Shop.
