I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Li Zheng was speechless. He did say that at the time, but he never thought about asking the whole village to change their appearance.

If this wharf were still here, would they still be considered farmers?

Zhang Siyuan heard the movement and hurried over.

"I heard you want to build a dock here?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "If possible, this will be a good thing for us in Qingshui County."

Zhang Siyuan did not refute, but carefully considered the situation on the back mountain.

"The mountains there are quite high. If it is used as a dock, I'm afraid it won't be suitable."

Zhu Qiuqi was happy, "Have you forgotten what raw materials our lime workshop uses?"

Zhang Siyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Zhu Qiuqi.

"You want to open a mountain?"

Zhu Qiuqi shook her head.

"It's not enough to open the mountain, it's just to deal with the place under the back mountain."

"Even so, it is not an easy task."

Zhu Qiuqi patted him on the shoulder, "I can do it."

Seeing Zhu Qiuqi's confident look, Zhang Siyuan knew that she must have other ways to solve the Kaishan problem.

But he knew in his heart that no matter what, it needed to be excavated manually, and it was not an easy task to excavate a mountain manually.

The benefits were so great that the county magistrate asked Mr. Xu to come to Xiaozhangzhuang again the next day.

"Madam Zhu, my lord thinks that your proposal yesterday is worth considering. But...it is not an easy task to open a pier, just to say that it is not an easy task to open a road."

Zhu Qiuqi saw that Master Xu was so worried, and knew that he was also worried about the situation on the back mountain.

"Master, don't worry about this. I have a way to clean up the area under the mountain road."

Master Xu pondered for a long time, "If we need help, sir, I said he can help find someone to open the way."

Hearing Master Xu's words, Zhu Qiuqi knew that the county magistrate agreed with her proposal.

It's just that many things can't be implemented, so the county magistrate is worried.

"It doesn't need a lot of manpower. It's enough to find one or two people from our village. My method doesn't require manpower."

Master Xu just wanted to say that this was impossible, but seeing the look in Zhu Qiuqi's eyes, Master Xu swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Isn't it Zhu Qiuqi's credit that Xiao Zhangzhuang is like this now?

Facing Zhu Qiuqi, Master Xu really had some confidence in her.

"In addition to opening the road, it also requires a lot of money to open the pier. Without the support of a few wealthy households, it may be difficult to open the pier here."

Zhu Qiuqi thought for a long time and felt that what Master Xu said made sense.

Before, she had thought too much and simply. Although the dock in this era was owned by the imperial court, the warehouses and manpower on the dock were not from the imperial court.

Zhu Qiuqi's eyes flashed as she watched the old lady of the Zhang family processing the chaff of wheat seeds not far away.

During the famine before, the old lady of the Zhang family made it together with the chaff.

Life is getting better now, and the old lady of the Zhang family is also afraid that the hard-to-swallow wheat bran will make the children uncomfortable, so she packs the wheat bran and feeds it to the chickens and ducks in the backyard.

Zhu Qiuqi suddenly thought of the two bags of grain that Aunt Sun gave her in the disaster year. Without those two bags of grain, she might not be able to explain to her family where the grain she usually eats comes from.

If she remembers correctly, the Li family seems to be an aristocratic family as well.If they can share this pier, maybe both of them can benefit.

"Master, what do you think of the Li family?"

Master Xu was stunned, thinking that the only Li family in the county that could be considered a wealthy family seemed to be one of them.

"Mrs. Zhu is talking about General Li's family?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "I have interacted with the Li family before, and now my sister-in-law's workshop is also doing business with Zhenxiuge. Compared to other families, I prefer the Li family."

Master Xu murmured, "The Li family looks insignificant now, but it used to be a real aristocratic family. Although it can't compare to the glory of the past, many businesses have also been transferred to Qingshui County, their ancestral home, but their His strength cannot be underestimated.”

Zhu Qiuqi was also quite surprised when she heard this.

Although she knew that the Li family was a wealthy family in Qingshui County, she did not expect them to be an aristocratic family.

Seeing Zhu Qiuqi's surprise, Master Xu chuckled.

"Madam Zhu, I don't know. Although there are some people in the Li family who are doing business, most of them are officials in the capital."

Zhu Qiuqi was dumbfounded, she misread the Li family as an ordinary wealthy family.

"Since that's the case, Master Xu thinks it's feasible for the Li family to get involved in this wharf?"

Master Xu nodded, "The Xu family is fine, but I'm afraid it's not okay if there is only the Li family. And the head of the Li family is not General Li, but his father."

Zhu Qiuqi understood what Master Xu meant. If she wanted to win over the Li family, it would be useless to find Li Juntong.

"Thank you, master, for letting me know. I will talk to General Li carefully about the matter of the Li family, and ask General Li to help me find out."

Master Xu nodded, and he knew that Zhu Qiuqi was a good person.

"In addition to the imperial court and the Li family, I'm afraid there must be rich families from Qingshui County participating in this wharf."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "I will consider this matter carefully, and if there is a regulation, I will immediately inform the master and adults."

If they can generate income for the imperial court, the imperial court will not disagree, and those who work in Qingshui County will be able to pay more monthly fees.

Master Xu hadn't obtained any fame before, he was different from the county magistrate.He was originally from Qingshui County, but something happened to his family, and he didn't want to get fame, so he stayed in the Qingshui County Yamen, thinking that he could do something for the people of Qingshui County.

Master Xu is happier than anyone else that Qingshui County can develop well.

Zhu Qiuqi's proposal could stimulate the economy of Qingshui County in a short period of time, so he naturally would not seriously consider it.

After discussing with Zhu Qiuqi, Master Xu decided to leave.

The biggest purpose of his coming today is to tell Zhu Qiuqi the difficulties she will encounter in opening the pier.

Since Zhu Qiuqi knew what was going on, he didn't say anything more.

"In that case, I won't stay any longer."

As soon as Master Xu was about to leave, the old lady of the Zhang family came in to keep him.

"Master Xu, don't be in a hurry. This is just out of the pot. It's not too late for you to leave after eating."

Ever since I found out that Mr. Xu was not just like the county magistrate, he had to leave when his term was up.She is a native of Qingshui County and will even stay in the county government forever. The old lady of the Zhang family is even more enthusiastic about Master Xu.

Those who were in Lizheng before finally learned that Master Xu's house was long gone, and the old lady of the Zhang family was also quite shocked.

Master Xu's age doesn't look very old, he looks about the same as Zhang Siyuan.

Thinking of this, the old lady of the Zhang family felt more sympathetic to Master Xu.
