Chapter 364 Income

There was a rare moment of peace in the room, and everyone showed a look of realization.

Xuan Tao came to her senses belatedly, and rushed towards Zi Mo angrily, "You little hoof, how dare you hide it from us..."

The girls all had a fight with Zimo, Du Yuan came over and said, "Girl, old manager Zhao is here, please see the girl!"

Xie Zhiwei thought, Old Zhaotou should come these two days, she got up and tidied up, and was about to go out, when Zi Mo came over and knelt down in front of her, crying, "Girl, if... If so, please stay I have been a servant for several years, and I don't want to leave the girl so soon."

Xie Zhiwei was a little amused, "Don't worry, I have no one to use myself right now, how can I let you out? You should be at ease as an errand, when I have someone useful, you will beg me again!"

Zi Mo was so embarrassed that she just wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. After covering her face, she put her heart down, and in the invisible palm, she couldn't help laughing.

Old Zhao wore a sheepskin jacket on his head, and Mingyuexuan beside the Dicui Pavilion was waiting. When he saw Xie Zhiwei coming, he hurriedly got up.

"The slave wishes the eldest girl a New Year greeting!"

Old Zhaotou knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed three times, Xie Zhi smiled and took a Feng Hong from Xuan Tao's hand and handed it to him with a smile, "This is to remind me that last year I let the steward They came to see me, but didn't let you come, they originally wanted you to come this year, but who knows that it has been delayed until now."

Old Zhao Tou took it over with a smile, although it was a light purse, but Old Zhao Tou knew that it contained a bank note, and said, "Everything in Zhuangzi is good, and the harvest in the old year was not bad. Meaning, all of them were sold, and the total harvest was five thousand three hundred and twenty taels of silver, all of which were credited to Mr. Geng."

"I know that!"

"The slave came this time and brought the boss here." Afraid that Xie Zhiwei might not remember, the old Zhaotou reminded, "In the old year, he went to the south to raise Zhancheng rice at the girl's request. In the first month, it thawed there. I just came back, originally I wanted to rush over to greet the girl, but who knew that the girl went to Juzhou City, and then rushed to plow the field, and was afraid that the seeds bought back were not good, so it was easy to sprout in the first two days, and it was easier than usual. The rice we use must be different, so I came here and reported to the girl."

"Why don't you see anyone?"

"He's waiting outside, the slave dare not let him come to see the girl casually."

"Go, please come in!" Xie Zhiwei ordered Xuan Tao.

When Xuantao left, Old Zhao smiled awkwardly again, "Miss, there is something that I dare not say, but I have to say it."

"Is it because of my relationship with Zimo?"

"Yes, the servant scolded the second child. The rabbit doesn't even eat the grass by the side of the nest. It actually picked up the idea of ​​the people around the girl. Isn't this betraying the master?"

"It's not a question of betraying the master. Zhao Er is indeed very courageous in his affairs. If this is like him, is there anyone I can use?"

Old Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, his back was wet with sweat, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, "It's the slave who is not strict in discipline, please punish me!"

"Get up, you usually work hard, and last year's harvest was not bad. If you can improve this year, I won't think about it. Zimo has been with me for so many years, and it's my mother again. I can't bear to wait for the person you left for me!"

"Yes, yes, the servant knows!" The old head Zhao was relieved to hear that Xie Zhiwei said that he didn't agree, but he didn't refuse, "The servant will definitely supervise the second child to do errands for the girl carefully when he goes back."

When Zhao Quan came in, Xie Zhiwei ended the topic and asked old Zhao to stand up. Zhao Quan kowtowed to Xie Zhiwei, and Xie Zhiwei also asked Xuantao to hand him a red seal, "This is for you. This trip to the south , I also made a lot of effort, I heard that the budding of this Champa rice is not bad?"

"Yes, after the servant went to the south, he also visited many villages that grow Champa rice. This kind of rice has not all flourished there, but everyone who has planted it says it is not bad, and each mu of land will produce 20 to 30% more grain. Woolen cloth."

Xie Zhiwei was surprised immediately. She also has more than 10,000 hectares of fertile land under her name. The fertile land in the south is the majority. Last year, the highest yield per mu was only 10 shi. If it can be increased by 20 to 30 percent, this is not a small increase in yield. up.

"Then why don't the people over there grow them all?" Xie Zhiwei asked puzzled.

"Miss don't know, the common people rely on this land for food. If it is planted, it will be a year if it is missed by a season. If there is no food for a year, the whole family will not starve to death. Who dares to plant at will? Try planting now. Some of them are big households, some of them take out a village to plant, and some dare to plant a few plots of land, and it’s not too late to plant them after they know the habits.”

"That's the truth, how much will we plant this year?"

"The meaning of the slave, I will take out a few plots of land this year and try it out. After all, there are many people planting there, and we don't have many varieties here. It is not suitable to keep the habits. Isn't it a year late?"

"also!"

After the discussion was made, Xie Zhiwei rewarded the father and son with a table of noodles, and she returned to Yizhaoyuan.

Nurse Qiu has already packed everything for the trip, and has chosen the clothes and jewelry to wear when entering the palace tomorrow. Seeing that it is getting late, Xie Zhiwei took a short rest before coming to Fuyun Courtyard for dinner.

Shen Shuang in the old man's room was replying to Yuan Shi. There was a post on the small table on the kang. Xie Zhiwei glanced at it, and it was sent by Yiwuhou's mansion. She didn't care, and heard Shen Shuang talking about Luzhou Things about my hometown.

"...the date of marriage has been fixed. My fiancé became ill and passed away in less than a month. After the passing of the third-bedroom old lady and the old lady, Sanniang once again gained a reputation of restraining her father and mother. Even if the second-bedroom old lady said something Come on, let's say that when Sanniang gets married in the future, all the assets of the third house will be dowry, and the other houses will be subsidized with five hundred taels of silver each, and no one will marry. Seeing that Sanniang is seventeen this year, it will be a problem to stay. The old lady, the old lady of the second bedroom has no choice but to write a letter to the old lady a few years ago to send San Niang to the capital to see if she can promise it to someone else. On the way, it will arrive soon."

Fearing that Xie Zhiwei didn't understand, Yuan Shi explained to her, "San Niang is your father's third cousin, the third house in Luzhou's hometown. In the old man's generation, our family occupies the long house."

After finishing speaking, Shen Shuang was still waiting for Yuan Shi's words, so she said, "Go back and tell the old man that I will clean up the house here. Sanniang is also a poor person, and I can't write two thanks." Literally speaking, Sanniang's marriage is in this capital?"

When Shen Shuang got the words, she went back to the front yard.

Here, after the mother and son had eaten, Xie Zhiwei told Yuan Shi about the matter, "Mum, don't have to be afraid of offending Second Aunt in the future, as long as we are fair and just, no one will be able to say anything." Don't come!"
