Chapter 961： 961

Chapter 961 Chapter 961, Knitting

During the New Year, Daozi fell in love with going out to play, and every day he opened his eyes, he would take Xiao Yeyang out of the house.

Xiao Yeyang is fine, but he is happy to accompany his son. He will take the rice out of the house every day, either shopping or going to the teahouse to hear about books.

As the highest official in Xiliang, Xiao Yeyang has been paid attention to wherever he goes.

From the first day of the new year to the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yeyang held his son and almost met all the officials in Liangdu.

"I will go to the office tomorrow, let me feed my son."

Daozi sits in his exclusive children's chair, and is fed by spoonfuls of rice flowers.

The little guy is very active. Since he can walk and run, he has been extremely uncooperative when eating. He either ran to play this or ran to get that one.

Ina Hua customized a children's chair for him. Whenever he had a meal, he would hug the person in the chair and make it well. Only then did he slowly change his habit of running around.

Daohua handed the rice bowl in her hand to Xiao Yeyang, and then began to eat her own.

Taozi ate two bites of rice fed by Xiao Yeyang, and then grabbed the spoon and wanted to eat it himself.

Unfortunately, I can’t get the spoon right, and I can’t get the food, or I can’t feed the food into my mouth.

Xiao Yeyang looked anxiously on the sidelines, and was about to take the spoon in the hands of many sons to feed himself, but Daohua stopped him.

Daohua handed Xiao Yeyang a spoon again: "You fed you, let my son imitate it."

Next, in Xiao Yeyang's feeding, rice imitated frequently, and finally managed to hold the spoon in his mouth.

After eating, Daohua led her son to digest in the house, Xiao Yeyang sat on the recliner and watched the news coming from everywhere.

"Now that there is no threat in Xiliao, Xiliang has to develop quickly."

"The people here used to suffer from war all the year round, and social development was severely hampered. Now that there is no foreign aggression, the various problems that existed before should be resolved."

"Since I have taken over Xiliang, I have to restore people's livelihood."

Ina Flower: "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while: “The most fundamental thing for a good land management is to let the local people eat and wear warmth. The promotion of high-yield grains is now in an orderly manner, but economic development cannot rely on this alone.”

"The official roads in Xiliang are poorly repaired. I want to refurbish several main official roads in Xiliang. A lot of cement is produced at the stone factory, so I will use cement to build roads."

"There are also post stations. Not only are there too few posts, they are also in disrepair for a long time, and the distance is too far, which is not conducive to the rest of the past merchants."

Daohua listened to Xiao Yeyang's words and said with a smile: "You have to have a good idea. There is a saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build a road. I support you."

"Xiliang has a large area. Only when the road is easy can we attract people from other places. With more people moving, the economy will naturally follow."

"However, infrastructure construction requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Does the company have a lot of turnover here?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "The Wei family left a lot of money, which can support a period of time. Every year, each health station can also collect a batch of tax and silver. I plan to let the soldiers stationed on the road repair the road. Practiced."

Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang had thought about it, so she didn’t ask more, but when she saw him rubbing her forehead again, she couldn’t help asking, “You have arranged everything, so what are you worried about?”

Xiao Yeyang sighed, "I'm worried about the frontier soldiers who are stationed. Most of them have no wives. Many of them are big and young. Watching them guard the border, they don't even have a descendant who burns incense. A bit annoying."

Daohua is silent, she can't solve this problem.

Xiao Yeyang suddenly said: "The imperial court has to copy the homes of some powerful officials every year. These officials have a lot of maidservants in their houses. I simply give the imperial uncle the maids and ask him to send all the maids from the prisoners' homes to the frontier soldiers. Forget it as a wife."

Xiao Yeyang thinks this idea is better as he talks about it.

Daohua reminded: "If you want to marry a soldier, do you have to build a house for your family?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I will mark out a piece of land near the military town to build a house." After saying that, he hurriedly got up and went straight to write a book.

So positive, it can be seen that I usually worry about the marriage of soldiers.

After the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yeyang became busy again.

In February, Daohua became busy after spring ploughing began in various places.

The climate here in Liangdu is better than that in Ganzhouwei. By mid-February, the temperature will not be so cold and you can start planting.

Daohua bought two Zhuangzi and a pasture before, but she didn’t even go to see it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of spring ploughing, she was going to take her son to have a look.

As for the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, there is no requirement for rice blossoms in the first year, so the tenants are asked to plant some corn and potatoes to raise the land, and dug out the canals by the way.

At the beginning of March, the temperature obviously warmed up, and Daohua took the rice out of the house and went straight to the village and pasture outside the city.

As the first family in Xiliang, the Wei family holds the best Zhuangzi and pasture.

The fields of the two Zhuangzi are all top-quality fertile fields. Seeing that the tenants are farming in an orderly manner, the rice flowers did not stay much, so they went directly to the pasture.

This pasture is not as big as the rice flower bought in Ganzhouwei, but the location is very good and the pasture grows very lush.

When the rice flower bought the pasture, he bought all the cattle and sheep raised in the pasture directly. When the carriage drove into the pasture, it happened to meet the herdsmen shearing the sheep.

Yan Shouhou stared at Daohua, and said quickly: “The sheep raised in this pasture are sheep breeds, and they can harvest their wool once every spring and autumn.”

Inaba asked: "How will they use these wool?"

Yan Shouhou: “The wool will be sold to merchants, who will twist the wool into threads and weave them into blankets and felts.”

Daohua thought of the woolen sweater she wore in her previous life, and then asked, "Does anyone use wool to make sweaters?"

Yan Shouhou was silent for a moment: “Compared with cotton-padded clothes, clothes made of wool are still too expensive, but I haven’t heard of the small ones.”

Daohua nodded: "Don't sell this batch of wool. Let the people on the ranch wash the wool and send it to the house. I have other uses."

After   , Daohua took the rice to play in the ranch for a while, and then went home.

After returning to the mansion, Daohua drew the pins for the big sweater, and then gave it to Gu Yu, who asked her to ask the carpenter in the mansion to make a few sets.

In mid-March, Yan Shouhou sent several boxes of clean wool to the palace.

In   Mansion, there are maids and women who can spin threads. Daohua found several people and asked them to draw out several kinds of woolen threads of different thicknesses according to her requirements.

After   , I bought dyes to color the yarns, and the yarns were all dyed. It was already the end of March.

"What are you going to do?"

Daohua moved quite a bit, attracting Guo Ruomei.

Daohua smiled and said, "I want to knit clothes with wool."

Guo Ruomei: "Just leave these things to the next person to do, so why don't you do it yourself."

Ina Flower: "They don't know what I want to do." After speaking, she took out two sticks and knitted in front of Guo Ruomei.

"The woolen blankets and wool felts woven by weaving machines cannot be used by ordinary people at all, but those knitted with bamboo like me are quite affordable to many people."

Looking at the rice flower weaving a piece after a while, Guo Ruomei was surprised: “I only know that the textile machine can weave cloth, but I didn’t expect two bamboo sticks to weave it.”

said, looking at Daohua in surprise, "Why are you doing this?"

Ina Flower: ". I read it from the script."
