Mingjia came to Zhuangzi, a medicinal herb, and found that Zhuangzi had changed a lot, and she was a little too big to admit it.

"Master Mingjia, can I show you around?"

When Chi Hua heard the news that Master Mingjia was coming, he hurriedly greeted him from the house. Chi Hua had moved to Zhuangzi later this year.

Shen Qi, who was discussing things with Chi Hua, also came out together. Shen Qi and others now also live in Zhuangzi.

Shen Qi couldn't help but frown when he saw that Ming Jia was followed only by Shuang'er and Cheng Wen. There were so few people.

"Master Mingjia, I have made arrangements for Zhuangzi's patrol and watch. Today I will go back to the government office with you!"

Shen Qi felt that Cheng Si went to the Central Plains for him, so he would protect Master Mingjia if he stayed.

"Uncle Shen Qi, today I decided to leave the house at the last minute. I will guarantee two guards from now on."

"There's Da Liu over there at the government office!"

Now that Ming Jia said this, Shen Qi couldn't say anything more. He just said that he could go back to protect Ming Jia at any time.

"Hehe! Uncle Shen Qi might as well help me train a few people in Dianzhou!"

Chi Hua came from Qu County this time and brought several children with good qualifications. Unlike Chuanwu and others who focused on studying medicine, these children studied more miscellaneously.

However, Mingjia originally wanted to train some good stewards or shopkeepers, and he needed to learn some miscellaneous knowledge.

These children are good at everything, but they don't know any boxing skills. Mingjia feels that a little bit of skill can save lives at the critical moment.

Shen Qi nodded in agreement, so two teams of people could be seen practicing every morning in the medicinal material village.

The first team is Chuan Wu, Fang Hai and others led by Cheng Wu.

The first team was led by Shen Qi, a group of children of about the same age, but their horses were all loosely tied.

Shen Qi has never had a "soldier" with such a poor foundation. Fortunately, his "coaching team" is well-equipped and has everything he is good at.

Mingjia doesn't care how Shen Qi trains those children. She is more concerned about Zhuangzi's accounts now.

"Do you still have any money on your books now?"

Although Ming Jia was asking Chi Hua, he knew in his heart that there would not be more.

Chi Hua sighed and shook his head. There was not much money left in the account.

"The medicinal seeds have just been sown. No labor is needed yet. Now that the weather is warm, the seedlings will emerge soon."

Chi Hua paused for a moment, then continued.

"We still have to find a lot of people to do the work of transplanting the seedlings into the fields!"

That would require a lot of money!

And not only transplanting seedlings, growing medicinal materials is destined to be an industry with a long return on investment cycle, so it will take a long time before the profits are realized.

Mingjia thought about it for a while. In fact, before coming to Zhuangzi, Mingjia had a general idea in her mind, but she still needed to see Zhuangzi in person.

"Chi accountant, please take me around the village!"

"it is good!"

"Master Mingjia, we have three greenhouses here for breeding. Now we are planting Panax notoginseng. We are raising about 100,000 seedlings. We need to check the emergence status of the seedlings!"

Mingjia looked at the three newly built greenhouses and said, "I feel so bad! It's all money!"

“Are all Panax notoginseng seeds collected from farmers?”

"Can different batches of seeds be distinguished and recorded before planting?"

Mingjia was a little worried about the emergence rate of herbal seeds. She was too busy before, otherwise Mingjia would definitely have to arrange for people to record the data.

Chi Hua had been waiting for Ming Jia to ask about this because he had done a lot of preparations.

"Records have been made. Look, these are record books!"

Ming Jia felt that Chi Hua seemed a little excited. He took the record book curiously and looked through it patiently.

The records in the book are very detailed, not only the villager's home where the seeds came from, but also the nursery where the seeds were scattered.

Ming Jia raised an eyebrow. Chi Hua's recording method looked familiar!

"It seems that Accountant Chi did a lot of homework before coming to Dianzhou!"

"I went to Chili Pepper Village in Qu County and learned a lot of data recording methods. Yang Xiucai is a very patient and private person!"

Mingjia smiled and continued to walk towards the field with Chi Hua. Mingjia continued to ask about the Panax notoginseng seedlings.

"You said there will be about 100,000 seedlings. How many acres of land can be planted?"

"Ye Lao said that each acre of land is generally divided into 15 small plots for planting Panax notoginseng, and about 160 Panax notoginseng seedlings are planted in each small plot. Therefore, one acre of land requires seedlings."

Mingjia estimated in his mind that the seeds collected in the first year would be enough to cover fifty acres of land.

“In March, we still need to plant some annual herbs, right?”

"Yes! Mr. Ye suggested planting some plantains, licorice, etc., and it is estimated that each plant should be planted on fifty acres. They are annuals and do not need to be processed. They can be sold to medicinal merchants after being dried."

Mingjia nodded, then the remaining land of Zhuangzi can be leased out, or used to attract labor!

"Chi accountant, go back and calculate how much land our Zhuangzi will have left this year."

"Let the news out, not only is the rent here low, but you can also work for the owner's family to deduct the rent. Priority will be given to the amount of fertile land. If you want to farm on tenant land, hurry up!"

Chi Hua immediately knew what to do. The biggest difference between Dianzhou and Chuanzhou was the land.

The terrain in Chuanzhou is relatively flat, and there is plenty of land for the people to grow. However, the yield is low due to drought.

There are many mountains in Dianzhou, but there is little fertile land. In the old days, there were many nobles in Dianzhou, and ordinary people had very little land.

Seeing how Chi Hua relaxed all of a sudden, Ming Jia didn't forget to tell Chi Hua.

“Priority is given to families who know a lot about herbal medicine!”

Mingjia, who came back from the herbal village, rarely went back to the courtyard to rest. She was really tired after walking all afternoon.

Shuang'er didn't wake Mingjia up until someone came from the backyard and asked Mingjia to go to dinner.

"Today, Yang Zhizhou and I praised you for your good calligraphy!"

"Cough~! Cough~!"

Xiao Qingshan suddenly remembered that when Yang Zhizhou came to his study to pick up official documents in the afternoon, he praised Mingjia for his good handwriting.

Mingjia couldn't control it for a moment and choked herself.

Mrs. Dong hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and patted Ming Jia's back gently. At the same time, she glared at Xiao Qingshan for talking nonsense while eating!

Xiao Qingshan... Jiajia doesn't look like someone who would be so proud after hearing a few compliments from others!

"It's okay, Mom, no need to take pictures! I just didn't expect Uncle Yang to praise me!"

"He not only praised you for your good calligraphy, but also for your knowledge!"

Ming Jia wanted to laugh when she saw the look between her father and Yourong Yan. It was probably because Yang Tingxuan wanted to find out with his father why he did not take part in the imperial examination.

However, judging from his father's appearance, Yang Tingxuan probably didn't ask anything!

"Uncle Yang praised me, what did daddy say to Uncle Yang?"

"I said your handwriting was developed by being forced to copy books. I also told him a lot about when you were a child and your master forced you to copy books!"

Mingjia...
