Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

The woman in front of me has a pretty face and a pure temperament.

She has a graceful figure, but ignores her own beauty and only wears an ordinary dress.

From head to toe, there was not a single piece of gold, silver or jade ornament on her.

His eyes seemed to be unable to see the filth and ugliness of this world, and were extremely clear.

He suddenly understood that a serious, cold and aloof man like Gu Jingyan would probably not be able to bear to say "no" to such a pair of naive eyes.

Li Huaitong didn't think that Gu Jingyan's wife needed him, a county magistrate, to protect her. The area within a mile where she was was probably safer than if he stayed in the county government office.

He also wanted to help others. The general had promised him a big favor, and such a benefit would be hard to find even with a lantern.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his tone, fearing that he might scare people, "Madam Gu, I heard from Manager Lin that you want to find Si Hu?"

His posture caused Leng Yi, who was standing beside him, to look at him with sidelong glances.

Li Changle didn't feel anything. She smiled shyly, not knowing if this was appropriate or not. But if the magistrate could help her get things done, then she wouldn't have to make another trip.

She had never thought about favors. She just wanted to save some for the magistrate's wife if there were any good things or good things in the future.

Li Changle didn't think too much about the matter, and certainly didn't extend it to Gu Jingyan.

That was too far, and she didn't have enough brains.

"I hope I haven't delayed your official duties. I came here today to consult Si Hu."

Li Huaitong: "Why not tell me about it?" He asked Li Changle to sit down, "Perhaps I can help Madam Gu."

"If you can help me with this, I will be very grateful." Her eyes sparkled. "I'll be frank with you. I want to ask, can I buy the Bijia Mountain south of Leshan Zhuangzi? Or..." When she was about to say the word "contract", she shut up.

But as soon as this question was asked, the corners of Li Huaitong's mouth twitched slightly.

Buy a mountain?

One farm is not enough, you also want to buy a mountain?

This woman is going to set up camp in Li County?

The land hasn't warmed up yet and has not thawed yet, so what is she going to do with buying the hill?

Beacon Hill?

He looked at Li Changle, whose eyes were full of expectation, and finally called the yamen runner. He lowered his head and gave him a few instructions, and the yamen runner hurried out of the flower hall.

After a while, the yamen lawyer came over.

When the lawyer heard that someone wanted to buy Bijia Mountain, he also looked surprised.

"That mountain was originally purchased to be included in the scope of Leshan Manor, but... it was later put aside."

He flipped through the book quickly and pointed to a page. "The location of the mountain is somewhat special. It happens to be at the border of Li County and Danggui County. No one has ever cultivated it, and no one knows what crops can be grown there. Madam, are you sure you want to buy it?"

Li Changle leaned in to take a closer look and saw that the lawyer was flipping through a book similar to an ancient county map.

The page stays on the topographic map of Li County.

Although the paper was not big, she could still see it clearly.

This map is so clearly drawn.

She pointed to the mountain shaped like a mountain on the outskirts of the county and said, "This is Bijia Mountain, right? It's easy to spot."

Li Huaitong couldn't help but ask her, "What are you going to buy the mountain for? Could it be that Madam Gu is going to grow sweet potatoes on the mountain?"

Li Changle shook his head: "I don't want to grow sweet potatoes, I want to grow fruit."

"...Fruit?" Li Huaitong and his master looked at each other in confusion.

The master's curiosity was also aroused. "Madam, what kind of fruit do you want to plant? This mountain has never been cultivated. We need to go and survey the soil on site."

Li Changle looked around and said something else: "So, can I buy that mountain?"

She pinched her purse subconsciously, "I wonder what the price is?"

The master looked at Li Huaitong, then lowered his head to look at the map, "Madam, do you want to buy the small lake at the foot of the mountain? It happens to be between Zhuangzi and Bijia Mountain, and it's about the size of a fish pond..."

Li Changle: "..."

Good guy!

We haven't even agreed on the price for the mountain yet, and now we're asking about buying the lake...

"Ding! The system has a special task, host, please accept it!"

"Ten miles of lotus ponds, lotus fields are everywhere! Please complete the task of planting 60 acres of lotus fields within 10 days. The contribution points will be generously rewarded. Come on, host!"

This mysterious Grand Virgin Mary system...

So even if she doesn't want to buy the lake, she has to.

You may complain in your heart, but you still have to do what needs to be done.

"… Buy it? But sir…" Li Changle smiled heartlessly, "The price has to be affordable. This place is obviously a barren mountain with only weeds growing on it. I don't know if I will end up losing money if I buy it. And what can we do with this lake? We can use the lake water to irrigate the farmland…"

If she doesn't buy the lake, how can she not use the lake water?

Seeing that Li Huaitong's eyes were full of inquiry, he felt that he was about to make a big move on the farm. Under Li Huaitong's nose, he could not hide it for long, and there was no need to cover it up deliberately.

After both parties agreed on the price, the lawyer went to his office to prepare the deed.

While Li Changle was sighing as she spent thousands of taels of silver, she took out her farm planning drawing.

"Now that I'm here, I'd like to trouble you. You have a wide network of contacts. Can you do me a few more favors?"

"Madam Gu, you are welcome. If you have any problem, please tell me. I will help you if I can. If I can't help you, don't we still have General Gu?"

Li Huaitong temporarily put aside his anger about the letter from Kyoto.

He walked over to the table covered with papers to see what the woman was going to do.

"My Lord, please take a look at this blueprint first."

Li Changle thought, of course she knew that as long as she looked for the emperor and Gu Jingyan, nothing would be difficult for them.

But currying favor with someone is one thing, but she really can't do the trouble of going all the way to ask for favors from someone.

She is now in the territory of Li County. If the farm can be opened with great fanfare, it will not be entirely without benefits for Li Huaitong, the county magistrate.

So please bother him, Li Changle has no psychological burden at all.

This county magistrate is at least a good official who works for the people.

"Leshan Ecological Farm, Ecological Farm..."

Li Huaitong read out a few awkwardly shaped large characters one by one, and then his eyes swept over the entire drawing. He stared at it for a long time, and his entire face was almost stuck to the drawing.

"Lychee orchard... strawberry... barbecue restaurant..."

"...a big supermarket?"

"hiss……"

Li Changle saw him mumbling to himself and did not interrupt him. He sat there patiently waiting for him to finish reading.

Li Huaitong's heart was surging with waves. He looked up at the woman who was sitting upright with a calm expression. There was a heat in his eyes that was hard to ignore.

Li Changle was shocked when he saw this. How could it be like this?

"S-lord?"

Li Huaitong realized that he had lost his composure and quickly looked away.

"I'm sorry."

At this time, his eyes had regained clarity, and he spoke earnestly, "Mrs. Gu, you must keep this blueprint."

Li Changle said without any scruples, "If you are worried about someone plagiarizing my blueprint ideas, please rest assured. I don't think they can copy them."

She can get all kinds of seeds in an endless stream, which others may not be able to get easily.

Even if someone really follows her example, she is not afraid.

After eating the first pot of crabs, she created a sensation and a brand effect, making her ecological farm a symbol and a famous brand.

You will be impressed once you experience it. When you mention the word "farm", you will think of its Leshan Ecological Farm.

It has become an existence that cannot be shaken by copycat versions.

Li Changle has never started his own business. Everything he has done is just talk and he has to cross the river by feeling the stones.

Everything she imagined might encounter some difficulties, but as long as it was not a high-tech project and could be done by manual labor, she was not afraid to spend more effort to complete it.

She is not doing this alone.

She has a system.

She still has money.

Well, there is also Gu Jingyan, the cheap husband with a strong background and ability, and the emperor, the strong thigh.

The more I think about it, the happier I feel.

She is very serious about starting her own business.

She explained various doubts to Li Huaitong based on the drawings in front of her.

"Strawberries are a kind of fruit, as are cherries, and there are also pinellias, lychees, and grapes..."

Li Huaitong: "..."

It seemed that some of these fruits were new to him, so he turned around and asked his wife what kind of fruits they were from and where they came from...

"Famous flowers? I'll plant whatever flowers are precious."

Li Huaitong: "..."

The so-called "precious flowers" are just like the wild grass growing wildly on the roadside...

"This is a tea garden. Your Excellency, do you know what kind of tea the people of Da Yan prefer to drink? I will plant some later..."

Li Huaitong: "..."

Haha, tea is such an expensive thing, how can you just plant it if you say so?

"I want to plant lotus roots in this small lake. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, you can bring your wife over for a date..."

Li Huaitong: "..."

He knew that in the big restaurants in Kyoto, a small plate of stir-fried lotus root slices cost thirty cents, which was equivalent to two pounds of pork. It was shockingly expensive.

Ordinary people would never have the opportunity and would not be willing to spend the money.

But this woman said she wanted to plant!

This lotus root is a vegetable grown in the south...

"A zoo? Get some deer, rabbits, sheep, monkeys, etc. to entertain the young masters and young ladies?"

Li Huaitong: "..."

Are you sure it won't scare the kids away?

"A big supermarket? It's a large grocery store, but it specializes in selling the farm's products..."

"You can experience picking fruit from the trees yourself, and then buy them by the pound..."

“Just like Daoxiangcun, customers can experience sowing seeds themselves…”

Li Huaitong glanced at her strangely, "People are paying you to farm for you? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?"

Li Changle said innocently:

"I don't want them to suffer a loss. I will provide the seeds. When the crops are ripe, I will sell them to them at half the price. If they don't want them...they will consider their money as an experience and I will accept the crops."

Li Huaitong seemed to be infected by the words. He recalled the various buildings and farmland layouts on the paper, sighed in his heart, and praised:

"Mrs. Gu is such a brilliant writer! Others may not be able to match her exquisite mind..."

In the near future, the Li County under his jurisdiction may usher in an unprecedented event, with people rushing to give money to the general's wife.

He stared at the blueprint and shook his mind, as if he had seen Li County more prosperous than before, and... a bowl full of gold and silver.

Convinced, he placed his hand on another room in the picture and asked, "What is this? What is a literacy class?"

“There are many children in the village, and their parents are busy working for me and have no time to discipline them.

I just want to hire a teacher to teach the children some literacy skills. Since they have no chance of taking the imperial examinations due to their slave status, it would be helpful if they could recognize some simple words and learn how to use an abacus to count.

No matter whether you are male or female, old or young, as long as you are willing to learn, you can come and learn.”

"Then the next generation of servants in my family will not be blind..."

Li Changle spoke casually, but Li Huaitong was quite shocked when he heard it.

What kind of woman is this...

Is it a family tradition or is it just natural?

Not to mention others, Leng Yi, who had a wooden face standing aside, was also full of admiration in his heart.

She has to be the eldest young master's wife, worthy of being the person that his eldest young master cares about.

.

Seeing that Li Huaitong was very appreciative of her farm renovation plan, Li Changle struck while the iron was hot and asked him to help find talented people in various professions.

Flower farmers are needed to grow flowers, tea farmers are needed to grow tea, fruit farmers are needed to grow orchards, and there are also various management personnel, errand runners, cashiers, accountants, purchasers, etc...

She needs a lot of manpower.

The salary will definitely not be low as long as we can recruit people.

Li Huaitong readily agreed. With his own connections and those of his wife, it would not be difficult to accomplish this task.

Li Huaitong solved these troubles for her. As a courtesy, when Li Changle left the county government office, in addition to the mountain deed that had just been stamped, she also took away a list of 28 refugees from ten households outside the north city gate.

Sitting on the carriage, Li Changle let out a long sigh. This time he went to the city, bought mountains and lakes, and brought back 28 workers.

I said she was short of people.

Among these 28 people, at least half of them are capable of working, so she was not taken advantage of.

Well, the magistrate really cares about the people's needs and is a good servant of the people.

At this time, she didn't delve into the details.

On the second day, Liu Tiechui and Sun Daxing went into the city to meet up with two yamen runners. When they were led outside the north city gate and pulled back two crowded cars of people, Li Changle stared at the group of old, weak and sick people and realized in shock that he had been fooled by Li Huaitong.

This is a story for later. At the moment, Li Changle only felt that she was in high spirits. Even the cold wind that occasionally blew through the car curtains and brought a few strands of chill was selectively ignored by her.

He carefully put away the blueprint and the deed, then patted the small bag beside him that smelled of marinade, raised his lips, and murmured: "I'm going to give money to Manager Li again. I'm such a good person."

She was whispering to herself in the carriage, and Leng Yi, who was outside the carriage, heard it and agreed with her.

The eldest young lady is indeed a good one.

When the carriage was almost at the North-South Street, it happened to meet a jubilant wedding procession beating drums and gongs, heading from the north end of the city towards the south gate.

Leng Yi stopped the carriage by the roadside and waited for the team to pass by.

Sitting on the tall horse in front of the team was a groom in a red robe. He exuded a festive atmosphere and the smile on his face reached his eyes.
