Parents are busy farming

Ye Zi and his wife had dinner at Han's house before returning to Ye's house.

As for Han Congshu preparing dinner for his father-in-law at home, there was no need for it today.

Because Ye Yongrui has been busy in the yamen since he returned to Feng County, and he even wished he could stay in the yamen one day.

After all, the two counties have agreed to dig the wasteland in between into a large reservoir.

Zhang Huaiyu and the adults in the yamen have been arranging the digging of ditches these days.

Although there are two high mountains here in Feng County, the melting of the snow on the mountains gave them a period of buffering time.

But since it hasn’t rained, drought is bound to come, and ditches need to be dug without delay.

Fortunately, the details have been discussed between the two counties, and now we only need to invest a lot of manpower to dig the reservoirs and ditches.

Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi only stayed at Zhuangzi for one day and rushed back the same day.

The next day, Ye Zifen went to the yard that Wang Sheng was looking for. She wanted to see it for herself.

After the cargo ship was built, she was relieved of her worries and had time to deal with other things.

When she got there, she walked around a bit.

There are people working on the docks and renting temporary accommodation nearby, so there are almost no people during the day.

This also has the advantage that they will make some noise when they are working, so no one is nearby so they will not disturb everyone.

I opened the door and walked inside. After walking around, I found that the inside was spacious enough.

There is a huge courtyard surrounded by rooms.

Because you want to make a windmill, you must first have a storage situation for various materials.

There also needs to be a place to store the finished products. You don’t need just one or two windmills, they must be stored well.

The problem of not having many rooms is not a problem.

The most important thing is that the yard is big enough and there is enough space for everyone to work.

Ever since Ye Zifen took over this matter, the yamen servants would remind her whenever they saw her and ask him to take those people away quickly.

The noise is really too loud, which has affected the work of the yamen adults.

They endured it for the people of the county before, but now they still need to endure it. They can't seem to see the end, so they hope Ye Zifen will take the people away quickly.

The impatient look made Ye Zifen feel guilty.

After seeing it, Ye Zifen was very satisfied and hurried to Fuke Lai and asked Wang Sheng to find someone to buy the yard.

I went to Li Song again and asked Li Song to find the corresponding merchants and buy the materials they needed.

People can't be idle in the past, they are all busy, and time is not so abundant.

"If we can't buy materials, we can go to the yamen and find the corresponding officials. They will prepare the materials for us."

Because their materials require a lot of iron. Individuals cannot buy them, so they need to go through the yamen to get these things.

"Don't worry, Fifth Miss. I'm already familiar with these things, and I'll be able to prepare the materials soon."

Ye Zifen is very relieved about Li Song, because Li Song prepared all the materials needed to make the cargo ship.

"Don't forget to prepare the materials for the cargo ship. We don't just need one cargo ship. I think while everyone is here and have experience, let them seize the time to build a few more ships."

Li Song smiled and said, "I understand what the lady means. I have already sent the purchased materials to Fukelai's backyard."

Zi Zifen nodded happily, it was these shopkeepers who supported what she was doing in the county.

If she leaves at this time, she can leave with peace of mind. If she comes back, they will just explain to her what they have done recently.

From this point of view, there are actually only a few of these stewards. Most of them were personally selected and trained by her or Zili helped teach them.

After leaving the grocery store, Ye Zifen looked up at the sun in the sky. It seems that the weather has gotten hotter without realizing it, and I feel a little hot even wearing a jacket.

When they go to the beach and come back, they will probably harvest wheat. What will the seeds from their sixty acres of land look like? We still have to see next year’s harvest.

It’s time to prepare corn seeds. Although corn is a coarse grain, its high yield can save more people.

So Ye Zifen, who had walked out, turned back and said to Li Song: "I will go to the beach in a few days. In the meantime, prepare the corn seeds needed by these Zhuangzi and what my family needs. Also prepare some more and people in the village may come to buy them."

Li Song nodded, "I have contacted Manager Xiang. The corn he stores is just enough for the demand for seeds in these places. In addition, I have also contacted several merchants and asked them to prepare more seeds."

Ye Zifen said: "Corn is suitable for growing in various places, so the seeds required are relatively large. Fortunately, the quality of the corn we produce here is excellent, so it is okay to use the corn we produce as seeds."

Ye Zifen thought of the islands by the sea. Those islands were always in panic. If people were allowed to plant some corn, there might be some yield, at least enough for the people on the seaside to make a tooth sacrifice.

Besides, the yamen should collect taxes for growing food on those islands.

Thinking of this, she decided to take a few carts of corn kernels with her when she left this time.

After leaving the grocery store, Ye Zifen went directly to Zhuangzi. She did not forget about Zhao Cuier's improvement of the loom.

She wanted to see what was going on and meet Li Daniu by the way.

Li Daniu has been traveling around recently, and she hasn't talked to him for a long time.

In addition, Luo Keren has been busy in the capital and has not come back yet, so he and his wife also feel a little guilty.

When Zi Zifen came to Zhuangzi, everyone was busy. Fortunately, Li Daniu did not go elsewhere today.

Hearing the noise at the door, he actively came to open the door.

"Fifth Miss? If you have any orders, just ask someone to come over and tell me. I will go over to see you. Why do you need to make another trip in person!"

Ye Zifen waved his hand, handed the reins to Li Daniu and said: "I just have time to come over today and take a look. By the way, I want to inform you that this time the cargo ship will bring the guests back when it comes back. You guys Xiaojia, remember to tidy up, don’t wait until Keren comes back and sees the mess in the house and I’ll beat you up again!”

Li Daniu was not angry when he heard Ye Zifen's teasing. It was too late for him to be happy that his wife could come back.

But as Ye Zifen said, their own little home also needs to be tidied up. Since Luo Keren left, he hasn't been back much.

The house that the lady bought for them was said to be a temporary place for them to live, but in fact it was just to store some Luo Ke people's dowry. The two of them would still come to live in Zhuangzi on weekdays.
