To Rule in a Turbulent World

The Procurement Department did not expect that the young master Youjia would come to the door in person, and was taken aback. You Miao was sweating, and ordered Mu Yan to weigh the rice seeds. With his sleeves in his hands, he said helplessly: "Shove these people into my villa without saying a word." , I can come to the door some other day to thank the magistrate.”

The procurement officer laughed, and You Miao stuffed a piece of broken silver into his hand while holding hands. The procurement understood it and took Mu Yan to choose it himself.

You Miao went to the market again to buy six buffaloes, pulled two carts, swayed back to Jiangbei, chatted and laughed with Mu Yan like two children, and crossed the river all the way, the carts walked slowly , I had to rest on the road for a night, and when I returned to the villa in the afternoon of the next day, Li Zhifeng also came back, and said with a frown, "Why did you leave without saying anything?"

"I went to buy grain seeds." You Miao said, "I'm out of money. Have you finished plowing?"

Li Zhifeng said, "It's all in the warehouse in the backyard."

You Miao led the buffalo, kept yelling, touched the buffalo's head and let it drag him away. It was very fun. Li Zhifeng watched from the side. After a while, one cow bumped into the other, and the two cows started fighting. Li Zhifeng said : "Don't fight."

With one hand and one side, Li Zhifeng was able to pull off the horns that were stuck together with just physical strength, and You Miao couldn't help but be speechless.

Qiao Jue also came back, and when she entered the house, she was terrified and said, "Miaozi! What's going on at home? It's like going to a market."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry, the entire Shen Garden was built in such a short period of time, and it became a mess again, with six cows crowded in the front yard and plow tools piled up in the back yard, there was almost no place to lay their feet.

A group of children were playing in the water under the courtyard porch. They rolled up their trousers and went down to catch fish. When You Miao saw it, his whole body was so cold that he shouted: "Don't make trouble! Quiet!"

The children were not afraid of him at all, and ran away hahaha.

It took You Miao a lot of effort to settle him down, and when he returned to the main room, he was paralyzed. Li Zhifeng was still dispatching Cheng Guangwu outside, so he probably had to be busy for a long time.

The hall was brightly lit, and Qiao Jue had just returned to help non-stop, so he could finally take a breather, came in to wash his face, settled accounts, made plans, and said, "This is all done at once, it's too much."

"Yes." You Miao said weakly: "There are so many people here at once, and there is no place to live."

Qiao Jue said: "I found a beekeeper for you. He will come here as soon as February enters. The rapeseeds are all in the warehouse. I saw that you bought grain seeds. After ten days, you will have someone plow the land and plant it. Forget it, I’m afraid that in the first season the land will be too raw and not fertilized enough to grow much food.”

"It's fine if you can eat enough." You Miao said, "I don't have much request, Li Zhifeng! Li Zhifeng!"

While talking, You Miao saw the two children picking flowers outside, so she became furious, took a board and went out to beat them, and shouted: "I'll kill you unruly little bastards!"

The child screamed and ran away, You Miao chased a few steps, and saw the two urchins hiding behind Li Zhifeng, Li Zhifeng shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said to the other half-grown boys, "Come in to work tomorrow."

Three thirteen and fourteen-year-old teenagers lined up and nodded hurriedly. Li Zhifeng turned around and followed You Miao into the hall, and ordered Cheng Guangwu to prepare a meal.

Li Zhifeng said: "Three people were recruited to serve uncle, brother Muyan, Mufeng and Guangwu, there are six people."

You Miao said: "Hey, there are only three of us, but we need six people to serve us."

Qiao Jue said with a smile: "You haven't seen a big family, inside and out, serving a master, but they have to raise twenty or thirty servant girls."

You Miao doesn't pay much attention to other things. Although she likes to be lively, this house is too lively. She was exhausted from tormenting. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow at night, but Qiao Jue was very busy. It was almost four o'clock, and the lights in the bamboo sea were still on.

You Miao's dream is full of his waterwheel, clear water and green mountains, fertile fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

When he woke up the next day, another person came outside the door, still refugees who had come to beg for a living, You Miao was also tired, and said, "Let them wait outside."

After eating breakfast, Qiao Jue said, "I'll get rid of it."

Qiao Jue is an expert, once she gets up, she brushes things up a few times, she is organized, and everything is settled in less than half an hour.Although Yangzhou Mansion meant to let You Miao choose people to stay, and tell them to go back if they didn't like it, but You Miao felt sorry for the fleeing people, and in the end even the widowed and lonely old people were taken in.The first person chose the land, and it was difficult to manage the east and west, so You Miao circled the land with his own handwriting, and each family planted [-] to [-] mu for the time being. After several days, he and Qiao Jue combined the land and divided Go out to [-] mu of land, which takes up half of the entire villa, and start spring plowing.

Some farmers came to borrow cattle, and some came to borrow plow tools, and they all dispersed at once.The spring was beautiful, and Cheng Guangwu took a few servants to sow rapeseeds on a [-]-acre field behind Shenyuan. You Miao watched for a while, then turned around and got on the horse, and walked slowly along the road.

The spring is fine, and both sides of the long road in the villa are full of farmers who are cultivating. The first few who came here are already cultivating seedlings. Looking around, the entire Jiangbo Villa is like a small village of its own.

The canals extend in all directions, coming and going vertically and horizontally, covering the farmland like spider webs, and the sun is shining brightly, which makes You Miao feel happy.

February passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather became warmer in March and April. You Miao went around the villa twice a day as usual, but he really didn't have a penny on hand, and he had to eat the 20 taels of silver that Qiao Jue gave him. It takes a month to harvest.

You Miao also thinks of a dyeing workshop, building a silkworm house, doing all the interesting things by herself, but she has no money at hand, so she has to do this first, flipping through books every day, sitting outside to read when the weather is good, and reading when she doesn't want to read So I went to take care of their rapeseed field with Li Zhifeng.

Rapeseed flowers bloom all over the mountains and plains in spring. In late spring, beekeepers live in the villa. Half of the [-] mu of rapeseed flowers that go straight down to the hills from the back of the Shenyuan Garden are planted by Cheng Guangwu and the entire villa. The people in the house are managing, and half of them let the tenants come to help the workers to look after them every day.

In the late spring of April, more than 2000 mu of rice fields were growing green. You Miao dropped the book, feeling very bored, and said, "Hey, I have nothing to do when I stay at home all day."

Li Zhifeng was starting the stove to boil the charcoal fire, and said, "Isn't it good to let you idle? When you are busy with something, you feel tired."

You Miao held a book in one hand, stretched her shoulders, and said, "It's uncomfortable to sit and read at home every day. Find something for me to do."

Li Zhifeng said, "I have nothing to do."

You Miao is no better than Li Zhifeng. When Li Zhifeng has nothing to do, he sits under the eaves in a daze for a whole day, but You Miao is naturally restless, saying: "Let's go out and ride a horse."
