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

After breakfast the next day, Hu Dexian and Hu Chunshan brought several young and strong men from the village to the Li family courtyard.

Everyone came with their own weapons in their hands.

Hu Dexian finally met Ouyang Siyuan, the person Hu Chunxing had been talking about all day yesterday and who had been the talk of the village all day.

This young man was born with a handsome appearance and a noble demeanor, and even his hair seemed to be shining with golden light.

I'm afraid he's at least the son of some wealthy family.

I kept complaining about my daughter in my heart, how could she dare to dream about it. Fortunately, she didn't cause any trouble.

Ouyang Siyuan and Gu Jingyan continued the chess game that had not been finished yesterday, like idle lazy men with nothing to do, thinking for a long time before making a move.

When they saw a group of villagers coming into the yard, they stopped playing chess and looked at Hu Dexian.

Gu Jingyan asked the visitor, "Is there anything important?"

Hu Dexian looked at Mrs. Li and wondered if she had not told her family about the land purchase.

"It's like this. Yesterday, Madam Li asked the old man to come over today to measure the land and invite a few villagers to come over and build some sheds."

Ouyang Siyuan became interested when he heard that Li Changle wanted to buy land.

"Sister-in-law bought some land? She wants to build a house?"

"The old man doesn't know, Madam Li only said it's useful."

He also wanted to know what the general's wife wanted to do with the land, so he asked the two of them, "I wonder if Madam Li is here. We can go and measure the land now, and we can also build the shed right away. But Madam Li needs to tell us in detail how to build it."

Gu Jingyan was about to say that no one was there when a female voice echoed from outside the courtyard, "Hey, Muramasa and everyone are here so early."

Li Changle came back from the bamboo forest with her two children. She greeted everyone with a smile.

"Muramasa has been waiting for a long time. Changle just went to deliver food to the auntie in the bamboo forest."

Hu Dexian was panicking, and suddenly remembered this matter, "This is really too much trouble for Madam Li, otherwise the old man will find someone else to deliver meals to Yue Niang. It's a bother to trouble you all day..."

Li Changle waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, Muramasa, don't worry too much."

Hu Dexian glanced at Gu Jingyan secretly, and was relieved to see that he was not unhappy. "Then let's go measure the land now?"

The two men left the yard and moved to the stone ground nearby.

Hu Dexian held a measuring rope used to measure the land. Hu Chunshan and others helped measure the edge of the land for a long time and used several large stones to mark several directions.

"Madam Li, that's good. Tomorrow, let Chunshan go to the county to help you complete all the necessary procedures and stamp the land deed. This acre of land will belong to you from now on."

There is nothing bad to say about Li Changle, only compliments.

As for the price of the land, because it was stone land, Hu Dexian symbolically charged one or two taels of silver, which included the handling fee for the land deed.

After measuring the land, Li Changle began to walk around the plot, gesturing to the villagers who came to help, and explained for a long time what the shed to be built would look like.

Some villagers went up the hill with machetes to cut bamboo. Some villagers started to clear the stones on the land.

Fortunately, it didn't snow in the past few days. There were many irregular stones on this side of the rocky ground, so the soil underneath was not frozen too hard. However, digging a ditch would take some time.

Some villagers suggested lighting a fire on the ground where they wanted to dig ditches and pits, which would make digging easier afterwards, or pouring a few buckets of hot water before digging.

Although no one knew what Mrs. Li was going to do with the shed, everyone in the village had received wild boar or roe deer meat from Li Changle in the past few days, so they were still willing to help with some heavy work. What's more, she was paying them money and not asking them to work for free.

Li Changle let everyone play freely, as long as the greenhouse could be built.

After cutting a lot of bamboos from the small bamboo forest, Li Changle stopped them and asked them not to pull out all the bamboos in the small bamboo forest. She asked them to check if there were bamboo forests in the nearby villages. If there were, she would buy some.

She counted the silver in her purse and found that she had more than 50 taels.

Including the money she earned from selling the seasoning packages, as well as the food and accommodation expenses she extorted from Gu Jingyan and Ouyang Siyuan.

It only cost one or two taels of silver to buy the land, and with some labor costs, it shouldn't cost much to buy bamboo.

She also wanted to save some money so that she could buy some good land from Hu Dexian in the spring and grow some other crops.

Ouyang Siyuan couldn't stay in the yard when he heard the noise, so he ran out and circled behind her.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Li Changle felt uncomfortable when he heard him call her that. "Don't call me that. You and I are not related."

Ouyang Siyuan smiled and said:

"No one told my sister-in-law that your husband Gu Jingyan and I are cousins? His late mother is my aunt. Tell me, are we related?"

Li Changle looked back at him in surprise. This was really unexpected. I didn't expect Gu Meinan to be considered a royal relative.

"We are related indeed."

Ouyang Siyuan: "Right, although my mother and aunt are only cousins, you can't write two characters for grandson with one stroke, so it's not wrong to call you sister-in-law."

"Well... I'm planning to grow some vegetables here, would you like to join me?"

"What did you say?" Ouyang Siyuan paused, "Grow vegetables? I'll do it?"

Li Changle nodded in response, "Don't say no!"

Ouyang Siyuan turned around and went back to the Li family courtyard, angrily saying:

"Gu Jingyan, is she crazy? She asked me to grow vegetables with her!"

Gu Jingyan was calm and collected. "Why not?"

Ouyang Siyuan: "..."

Gu Jingyan: "What His Majesty is most concerned about now is how the people of the North can recover in the shortest possible time after the drought.

Food is the most important thing for the people. If someone reports that they have found another crop that can replace grain to fill the stomach, how happy will His Majesty be?"

"Your Highness is the future emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty. Pay more attention to and learn more about people's livelihood. It will benefit the country and you. This is what His Majesty wants to see."

"He only has me as his son to take over, so he has to accept me no matter how bad I am, right?"

He still has to please his father?

Gu Jingyan's sharp eyes flashed, "Just treat it as an investigation of the people's sentiments."

Ouyang Siyuan touched his chin and began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

The issue of food is indeed closely related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

But would his father, the emperor, want to see his son roll up his sleeves and go farming?

The final result I came to is:

He will!!

Li Changle asked Hu Chunshan and Wang Erniu to take care of the shed construction, so there was nothing important to do.

Wang Dahu started working at Wanjia Restaurant today. The ones who came to help were Wang Erniu and his third son Wang Yongsheng.

Guihua didn't come today. Li Changle knew that it was because of the two great gods in the yard.

She entered the yard, and Ouyang Siyuan happened to look over with a look of aggrieved expression.

Is it too late for him to run away now?

He came out to relax and have fun, not to sell his labor.

Li Changle said casually: "I don't ask you to do anything, just take notes, water the plants and weed every now and then. You have followers, so just do what you want!"
