Steward Liu was leading two families to work in the yard, and when he saw Xiao Yao dressed up like this, he felt a little funny but understood.
He didn't say anything, and immediately stood up and saluted: "Young master, you are here, and the family members are all outside to watch the people who grow new vegetables fertilize, why don't I go and call them back?"
” Xiao Yao said: "No need, I'll go to the field in a while, see you in the field." ” The heads of the two families were both men about forty years old, and they were followed by several sons, the eldest was in his twenties, and the younger was sixteen or seventeen years old.
Xiao Yao smiled and said, "What should you do, I'm just going to take a look around, you're busy with you." ” Steward Liu waved his hand to them, and they went to work.
Steward Liu said to Xiao Yao: "These two are preparing the seedbed according to the method you said, it is now the end of March, and tomorrow will enter April.
Master, can you come and see the seedbed?
No, I'll tell them to change it again. ” Xiao Yao was about to take a look, so he squatted in front of the four large seedbeds made of wood, looked at them one by one, and felt that it was similar to what the book said, so he nodded and said, "Not bad!"
That's it, you have to apply some more fertilizer and water more.
In addition, we must let them remember the seedling method and seedling time, and let them raise their own seedlings next year."
Steward Liu called the two adults and conveyed Xiao Yao's words to them.
Then Steward Liu accompanied Xiao Yao to the field, the two went out of the courtyard, Xiao Yao asked about the seedling planting of vegetables while walking, Steward Liu reported: "These tenants who farm will grow vegetables, I said in the letter of the young lady, I picked more than a dozen households to grow vegetables, at first they were unwilling to destroy the wheat field to grow vegetables, and then I signed a contract with each of their households, saying that according to the best harvest of wheat land to give them four percent of grain per mu, they are willing to plant, to the past, we provide wheat seeds, divide them into three achievements."
Also, the two families who promised to grow rice said that they didn't want rice, but only wheat, and they would also divide it into 40%, and I agreed according to what the young lady said. ” Xiao Yao smiled and said that he did a good job.
After pausing for a while, Steward Liu mustered up the courage to say to Xiao Yao, "Miss, are you sure that you can succeed?"
If there is a mistake, we will lose a lot, and the compensation is not a small number. ” Xiao Yao had never farmed, and she was actually not very sure, but she couldn't let Steward Liu see the slightest flaw, and she had to strengthen his confidence.
So he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about, as long as I do it according to my method, I'll be able to do it!"
It's just that it may be hard for you to carefully supervise their watering and fertilization every day.
They have no experience in the first year, and the yield may be lower, but they will never lose money.
It will be fine in the second year.
I'll leave it all to you!
Xiao Yao said with confidence, and Steward Liu let go of his heart after listening to it.
When I came to a large field near the river, there were about 20 people who were carrying water from the river to water the land, and some people were carrying farm manure from afar to apply fertilizer, all of whom were busy working in their rented fields.
There were a few people standing in different plots, pointing at the people who were doing the work from time to time.
A group of tenants who planted wheat were hoeing grass in the fields from afar, looking over from time to time.
Seeing that Steward Liu had brought a person who looked like a son over, a few people who pointed out hurriedly walked over to this side.
When he got closer, he was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Yao's appearance, but he quickly covered it up, and Xiao Yao smiled in his heart.
Steward Liu said to the five people who came over: "This is the master of our grange, Young Master Yao, don't hurry up and see the master." ” The five of them hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "The little ones have seen Young Master Yao!"
Thank you Young Master Yao for giving us a wage increase!
” Xiao Yao hurriedly spoke: "Hurry up!"
You've worked hard, you should have gone up.
Those who are in the field, don't talk about these false rituals in the future. ” Several people got up from the ground, not daring to slap the dust on their bodies.
Standing in a proper manner.
Steward Liu pointed to a few people and introduced them to Xiao Yao: "Several of them are recruited from nearby villages, and they all know some kung fu, this taller one is called Wei Qiang, the sturdy one is called Liu Shuangwa, the thinner one is called Zhang Qi, the white-faced one is called Wei Wu, and the red-faced one with a beard is called Liu Laosan." ” Xiao Yao wrote them down one by one in her heart.
After Steward Liu finished speaking, Xiao Yao smiled at them and said: "Even if we know each other today, listen to Steward Liu, you are very dedicated to your work, I only give you one word, I will never treat people who work hard badly."
This year, let's try to plant new vegetables, you may have a hard time, you must supervise these tenants according to the method that Steward Liu told you, as long as the vegetables are planted this season, the tenants will taste the sweetness, and they will rush to plant vegetables, and then you will not need to supervise the work.
All right!
Go to work.
Steward Liu and I took a casual look. ” A few people answered, and each went to the plot under his own management.
Xiao Yao said to Steward Liu: "They may be very strange about my dress, just tell them that I have a wound on my face, and I brought this to cover up my ugliness." ” Steward Liu smiled and whispered, "Miss, you really have a way."
I'll tell them. ” I admire this young lady very much, a girl's family is calm and old-fashioned, not stage frightened at all, and has the style of a son. is also sharp-eyed, he can see through their minds at a glance, and then he comes up with a way to relieve his doubts, which is really not simple!
Xiao Yao and Steward Liu looked at each field, the vegetable seedlings in the field were very vigorous, tender and green, Xiao Yao was very happy to see it, thinking that they were really good at farming, and they were all good at farming.
After a big turn, Xiao Yao didn't feel tired at all, she washed herself and quickly took out the book on scientific farming she brought, and looked at it seriously, until Xiaocui brought the rice, she didn't feel a little hungry.
Xiao Yao asked Xiaocui to eat with her, saying that she had no appetite for eating alone, and that in the future, the two of them would eat together, and there was no need to serve on the side.
Xiaocui hesitated for a moment, then agreed, she knew Miss's temper, since she said it, it was what she said in her heart, and she just remembered Miss's goodness in her heart.
For two days, Xiao Yao went to the fields every day, and when he came back, he turned over the book and copied and wrote in his notebook.
On the third day, she told Steward Liu a method of digging a ditch to divert water from the river to irrigate the land, and the field was very close to the river, only one or twenty meters, and the river level was not much lower than the field.

Just dig a canal below the river level and the river water can be drained out.
Steward Liu and the five Zhuang Ding also gathered several tenants to grow vegetables together in two days to repair a diversion canal, and on the third day, they dug small openings in several ridges, and the canal water slowly flowed into the fields.
The trial excavation was successful, and Xiao Yao asked them to dig a few more ditches.
The tenants who grew vegetables nearby no longer had to carry buckets of water, and they were very grateful to Young Master Yao.
I don't think the things he wears on his face are strange, and I feel sorry for his disfigurement.
Xiao Yao knew that the water was only enough to water the nearby land, and if he wanted to water the distant place, he had to increase the water pressure, so he remembered the waterwheel made of bamboo he had seen when he went to the farmhouse, and asked Steward Liu to draw an image for him, explained the role, and asked him to spend money to find someone to do it.
If there are a few aqueducts, just make a few.
Steward Liu thought that the idea was very good, but he just felt that it should be a matter for the tenants to pay for themselves, and the owner should not spend this money.
Xiao Yao knew that he had good intentions and wanted to save himself money, as if reasoning, the main family out of the land, the tenants cultivated, watering and fertilizing should naturally be the tenant's business, and it had nothing to do with the lord's family, which is why in the hands of the previous master, no one has been repairing the irrigation canal, the owner and the tenant have their own ideas, and the tenant thinks: I spent a lot of effort to repair the canal, who knows if this land will be given to me to plant next year?
Why make wedding dresses for others?
Carrying water is not tiring.
The master thought: The land is handed over to you, you will have a good harvest, and you will be unlucky if the harvest is bad.
I don't believe you're willing to starve.
If Xiao Yao hadn't asked Liu to take care of the affairs, and the family and the tenants would have worked together, I'm afraid that the canal would not have been repaired now.
Xiao Yao is not the previous owner, she regards the tenant as a subordinate who has nothing to do with herself, but as her own employees, if you want employees to work more and do a good job, it is natural to prepare the hardware facilities, so that employees can save a penny of effort, and employees feel that the boss is good, so they are willing to work hard for you.
So he smiled and said to Steward Liu: "I know that you are for the good of our Zhuangzi, the reason why I do this is to let the tenants save some effort to carry water, and take care of the vegetable field, and if the vegetable field is done, our income will be guaranteed, and I will bet all my net worth on this season's vegetables, and there can be no mistakes."
Steward Liu didn't say anything more, and took the order to leave.
On April 8, the first year of Tianbao (after Zhao Ruiyang ascended the throne as the emperor, he changed the name of the Wu Dynasty to Tianbao) on April 8, there was a light rain in the sky, as the saying goes, the spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the tenants are very happy to see the rain.
Xiao Yaowo didn't go out at home, and made a detailed plan to design a blueprint for her future life.
In fact, many of them have been designed in the previous life, but some changes have been made in response to the current reality, such as the manor in the previous life, she was going to build a European-style manor, and now where can she find a construction team that can build a European-style house?
can only be built with an ancient appearance and a modern room, and the designer can only be Xiao Yao, who knows nothing about architecture.
Then there are orchards and breeding, how can there be gardening farms that sell saplings and farms that sell chickens, sheep, pigs, and cow cubs in ancient times?
As for the fish fry, don't even think about it, the ancients all fished and fished for food, how can there be fish farming?
What's more, the farmers in the north are neither good at fishing nor eating fish at all, and even in modern times, the rural people around Xi'an still neither know how to cook fish nor love to eat fish.
Xiao Yao had to buy cubs one by one from farmers' homes or at the market and grow the saplings herself.
As for the barrage of wild fish fry, this is by no means an easy task.
Xiao Yao finally decided not to raise fish, the farm can be engaged in it, and slowly buy it from small to large.
There is also the matter of building a biogas digester, Xiao Yao was preparing to build a large biogas digester in the farm in her previous life, the farm relies on it for cooking, bathing, lighting and even heating, and the biogas residue can be fed to chickens and pigs, and the biogas slurry can be fertilized, and now it has to be changed, cooking, lighting and fertilizing the field is also possible, because Xiao Yao brought a biogas stove and a biogas lamp, but she didn't buy a boiler for bathing and heating with biogas, and naturally she didn't bring it.
When she came to the farm, Xiao Yao couldn't bear the toilet, which was dirty and simple, and she couldn't help but want to vomit every time she went to the toilet.
She wants to build a toilet toilet in the house, and a clean and hygienic dry toilet in the yard.
There's always a lot to prepare, to do.
Xiao Yao listed them and ranked them in order, of course, depending on what the money in his hand was enough for now.
Xiao Yao decided to start breeding and cultivating fruit tree seedlings first, breeding can build a simple pigsty next to the horse shed, first buy a few pig babies in the nearby farmer's house, let Liu's sister-in-law and her half-eldest son raise it first, and then build a pig farm, sheep can find a sheep farmer among the tenants to foster it, as for the chickens and cattle first put away, cattle were the main productive forces in ancient times, and no farmer would kill cattle for meat until they died of old age.
She wants to get the farmers to accept it slowly.
She didn't want to distract the tenants who farmed the chickens, so she could mobilize the women of the village to raise the chickens after the vegetables were harvested.
As for the saplings, Xiao Yao was going to open a piece of land in the back garden and try to cultivate it first.
She mobilized Zhuang Ding to collect from nearby farmers' homes, regardless of peach pits, apricot pits, plum pits, walnuts, nai kernels (apple pits) and of course Xiao Yao's favorite persimmons, anyway, she planted whatever she could find, and planted as many as she could.
Xiao Yao said to do it, two days later, as soon as the sky cleared, she handed over the matter of building a pigsty and buying a pig baby and lamb to Steward Liu, and she took a hoe to open the ground, she picked up a hoe for the first time in her life, a little novel and excited.
Xiaocui couldn't persuade her, so she had to go with her.
Xiao Yao hadn't worked for ten minutes, there was a blood blister on her hand, Xiao Cui didn't let her do it anymore, grabbed the hoe and did it herself, Xiao Yao stopped her with a wry smile and said: "Xiao Cui, don't do it, we are not the material for farming, let's ask Steward Liu to find someone to open the land." ” Back at home, Xiao Cui was so distressed that she burst into tears while picking up the blood bubbles for Xiao Yao to disinfect, and couldn't help but nag in her mouth: "It's not appropriate to let a good county lord go, you have to come to farm, and you have to do it yourself, if you let the prince and Young Master Yun know, I don't know how to feel distressed." ” As soon as Xiao Yao heard her, the two figures that had just begun to fade in her heart clearly appeared in her mind, I don't know what happened to them now?
Zhao Ruiyang has ascended the throne as the emperor, is Zhao Ruiyun still angry with himself for not saying goodbye?
She quickly retracted her thoughts and said to Xiao Cui seriously: "I don't regret the decision I made at all, I don't regret it now, I won't regret it in the future, Xiao Cui will never say such things in the future, they have their lives and their way of survival, I have my life and way of survival."
We are not people on the same road at all, I will quickly forget them, and they will soon forget mine. ” Xiao Cui responded in her mouth and never said anything more, but she didn't think so in her heart, she didn't believe that Wang Ye and Young Master Yun would forget Miss, nor did she believe that Miss would forget them.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yao asked Steward Liu to call Zhuang Ding to open a large plot of land for himself in the back garden, and planted the various seeds collected by Zhuang Ding little by little, divided the plots and Xiaocui into the ground one by one.
It's already April, and Xiao Yao knows that it's too late to plant.
