Chapter 215： There is a reason to eat back

Chapter 215 There is a reason to eat it back

She sighed, but ancient times are better than ancient times. Everything is natural, unlike the earth, which looks good after a facelift, but after giving birth to a child, others will think it was picked up when they grow up.

With her current ability, it is not impossible to change the people here a little bit.

It's just that she likes ancient times very much. If it changes, it can still be ancient.

Qiao Mai stared at the princess's face for a while, then turned around and jumped down from the window, walking alone on the official road for a long time.

The next day, the Yuan family woke up. He opened his eyes, with sweat on his forehead, and stared at the roof in a daze.

He didn't dare to move. He heard no movement in the room, so he slowly turned his head left and right. The kang was cleaned up, and there was no sign of Qiao Mai.

Yuan Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief, sat up slowly, then wiped the sweat from his head, and looked down at his clothes.

A little lost, wearing neat underwear, and there is no mess.

Why didn’t the lady eat herself? What a pity, if he ate it, he would become hers, and he would have a reason to eat it back tonight.

This is how to do? I am still intact.

He slapped himself fiercely on the face, what the **** was he thinking, quickly got off the kang, put on his coat and walked out.

There was no one in the backyard, he habitually looked up at the sky, and then went straight to the martial arts field.

At this time, Qiao Mai was leading the children to practice martial arts. She supervised and corrected the children's movements. The children learned every move seriously.

Seeing him coming, there was no response, so he had to sit aside in embarrassment.

No way, he's not good at martial arts, just follow along and make gestures, he's really not good at this.

After a while, Qiao Mai came over, sweating profusely, and the Yuan family hurriedly poured her a glass of water.

"Because my husband drank too much last night, didn't it affect you by not snoring at night?"

"No,"

Yuan Jiaqi blushed, and Qiao Mai drank the water in the glass in one go.

"I don't know if the princess should go to Mr. Wang to file a complaint, or return to Beijing to file a complaint?"

"Don't worry about it, just be your county magistrate."

"Miss, won't you stay with me once we return to She County?"

"No, go back by yourself."

"Why? Home is so close, you want to come back soon?"

"What did you tell me to do?"

"The land over there is barren. I want to ask my wife to help me think of a way to see what is suitable for planting. Can I develop a sideline business? I can't let the people only grow one season of food a year and rely on the sky for food, right?"

"This problem is not limited to your county, it is the same in the whole Acropolis now."

"Is there a good way, my lady?"

"Plant trees, and plant trees in the idle wasteland,"

"ah?"

“I am afraid that after planting a tree, people will steal it and use it as firewood. There is a saying that if you want to get rich, you must first plant a tree. The roots of the tree can reduce soil erosion and change the desertification of the soil.”

"Then what kind of tree do you want to plant?"

"Pine trees, like cedar and larch, are very cold-resistant. They can grow at minus 50 degrees in winter. After they are mature, they can be made into furniture and can be used for fire. The pine nuts on the trees can also be fried and sold. The pine nuts taste very good. It can be used as a dish, it can be used as a snack, and it can naturally become a source of income for the common people."

"Pine nuts?"

"Yes, I think the Ming Dynasty has not realized this. No one eats pine nuts"

"Have our family eaten?"

"Not yet, but I can let you try it in advance."

"Then, can you taste it now?"

"Okay, let's go, let's go back and let them practice here."

Back to the backyard, Qiao Mai let him sit in the yard, she went back to the house and changed, took out a whole pine cone from the space, and then took a pack of fried pine nuts.

He came to the table with a tray and put the things away.

"Let's see."

"Is this the pine cone?"

"Yes, there are pine nuts in the bag next to it, try it, it smells like cooked pine nuts."

Yuan Jiaqi opened the paper bag and saw golden-yellow fruits with a gap in the middle.

"Is this long-ripe?"

"No, the seams are pressed in advance, so they can be easily peeled off."

He snapped open a grain, put the seed inside into his mouth, and chewed it.

"Well, it tastes delicious, kind of, kind of like, like?"

"Like nothing, it has a unique flavor that no nut can match."

"If a tree is planted, how many years will it grow?"

"Pine nuts will bear a small amount of fruit after four to five years. As the age of the pine tree increases, its fruit will also increase. The main purpose is to prevent the land from further desertification and retain the water in the soil after the tree is planted. It won’t be so dry over there, and what’s more, after having trees, you can open a small papermaking workshop, not only pine trees, but also waste wood and branches can be used to make paper, and even grass can be used.”

The Yuan family was stunned when they heard it, "Manufacturing, papermaking, these are all in the hands of the big family, how can the lady do it?"

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, I have studied the above squares, this will not trouble me."

"However, there are risks in opening such a workshop."

"So, put your mind on planting trees first, and take your time. You have to know that planting trees also requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources. The saplings alone will cost a lot of money, and you have to plant them."

"My lady, can you help me?"

"I will provide you with saplings and silver, and you can do the rest, can you?"

"Yes, in the future, apart from adjudicating cases and dealing with disputes, I will lead people to plant trees and post a notice to the people. Anyone who dares to cut down trees in the wasteland will be imprisoned for one month and fined ten taels of silver."

"This is your business, I don't care about it, remember, a person's power is limited, you have to learn how to control others."

"Yes, lady"

At this moment, Yuan Jiaqi completely forgot about **** and shyness, and immediately stood up.

"My lady, I have to go back."

"Well, take your guards."

Yuan Jiaqi suddenly thought of something, he said shyly, "I will come back every few days."

Qiao Mai took out a few banknotes from his cuff and gave them to him, "Use it first, and I'll give it to you if it's not enough. Don't use the money from the public treasury. It won't be clear at that time, but don't forget to keep accounts. At that time, there will be mouths to say clear."

"I have already bought a tent and a housekeeper. The people in the yamen are all newly recruited, and they have all signed the paperwork. They don't have the courage to try their own methods."

"Then go get busy. Every ten days, I will give you a thousand saplings at home."

"My lady, you are so kind!"

"I support you in doing business!"

"Well, I'm leaving then"

Yuan Jiaqi put away the bank note, took a deep look at her, then took a step forward, and hugged her in his arms.

"Wait for your husband to achieve some success, let's, let's, let's have a child of our own, shall we?"

Qiao Mai was taken aback, "Um, are you ready?"

"Not yet, I'll wait for the lady to make a move first, I, I'm too nervous, I don't dare, I don't dare to touch my opponent."

After speaking, Yuan Jiaqi let go of her and ran towards the gate of the courtyard. This was too shy.

Qiao Mai looked at the gate of the courtyard dumbfounded, and at this moment, a woman walked in.

"Master, the old lady is here!"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw them eating, and the old lady waved to her.

"Girl, come, let's have breakfast together, I have something to ask you."

"oh,"

She cleaned her hands and sat down next to the old lady. The servants brought her a bowl of porridge, and the old lady rolled her a pancake.

"Let's eat, how about starting at home?"

"He has returned to the Yamen."

"Are you two going to be a real couple?"

"Yeah, he expressed to me that it's up to me in this life, and I'm not a tweaker so I agreed."

"Not holding a ceremony or something?"

"No need, we are all married and have children, so we can just move in together."

The old man saw her calm face and asked, "The princess's matter is settled?"

"Yeah, I will take action, there is nothing that can't be solved."

The old man stepped back and asked in a low voice, "Killed?"
