After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

When the repairs on the county government's roof and courtyard were completely completed, Xiao Qingshan and his party also returned to Qu County.

There were a total of 5 village chiefs accompanying them to the government office this time. Xiao Qingshan arranged for all the village chiefs to go back to rest first, and told them to keep this trip confidential. Of course, if there is a development plan promised, these villages will be taken first.

Xiao Qingshan returned to the inn, exchanged a few words with Mr. Dong and then went to find Xie Boyuan. When I saw brother Mingjun and Mingjia were also in Xie Boyuan's room, my first reaction was to ask Mingjun to take his sister out to play.

Mingjun was very obedient, jumped off the chair, turned around and was about to carry his sister down. Xie Boyuan stopped Mingjun: "Mingjun, you can stay too." Mingjun looked at his father and Uncle Yuan blankly.

Xiao Qingshan looked at Xie Boyuan and wanted to ask why. Xie Boyuan spoke first: "I have been taking Ming Jun to study during this period. I like this child very much. I intend to take Ming Jun as my disciple. I wonder what Mr. Xiao thinks?"

In ancient times, the relationship between master and apprentice was like that of father and son. Xiao Qingshan admired Xie Boyuan's talent and learning. He did not have a master, and he envied Xie Jin for having a master to teach him. However, he still hopes that his son will agree with his son's master.

Xiao Qingshan said that he had no objection, but he needed Mingjun's own consent. Xie Boyuan is very confident that Mingjun will agree. Both of them looked at Mingjun, waiting for Mingjun to express his position.

As a result, I saw Ming Jun whispering something to his sister. Then Ming Jun looked up at Xie Boyuan and asked, "Uncle Yuan, am I your only disciple?"

Xie Boyuan was stunned, and Mu Ran remembered that he still had a disciple in the capital, but his status was a bit special. "No, I have accepted a disciple. He is a few years older than you and is studying in the capital."

After hearing this, Ming Jun turned to look at his sister. Ming Jia had guessed that Yuan Bo's identity was unusual, but after she had failed to guess Li Hansheng's identity, she no longer guessed casually.

After thinking about some possibilities, no matter how I looked at it, it would only be good for my brother. Mingjia nodded slightly to signal to his brother. "Master, please accept me as a disciple." After understanding his sister's eyes, Mingjun knelt down and paid homage to his master.

Xie Boyuan and Xiao Qingshan couldn't understand for a while: "Why does Ming Jun listen to Ming Jia so much?"

Xie Boyuan walked up to Mingjia: Little girl, do you want to study with me? Xie Boyuan really wanted to accept Ming Jia as his disciple.

Mingjia looked at Xie Boyuan, she didn't want to. The master can arrange marriages for his disciples and arrange his life. The elder brother is a man and the eldest son of Xiao. If necessary, he can also talk about the clan rules. But she can't.

"After my brother becomes a disciple, can I still study with him? Uncle Yuan." Mingjia looked at Xie Boyuan with bright smiling eyes. She wanted to see Uncle Yuan's emotions clearly.

Xie Boyuan was also a little disappointed, but she was a girl after all, and there wasn't much she could learn from him. "Of course, you can study with your brother."

Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan discussed finding an auspicious day to officially become their disciples after finishing their busy schedule. Let’s discuss the next thing carefully/

Xie Boyuan said it would be beneficial to expose Mingjun to these things earlier. The 7-year-old boy in the aristocratic family has already been taught how to treat others and knows a lot of things. Mingjun stayed, and Mingjia followed suit.

Xiao Qingshan introduced his experiences and results of his trip to the government office, and also took out 150 taels of silver. The problem now is how to let the people see hope as soon as possible as the county is full of waste and waiting for development.

Mingjun sat aside obediently and took minutes of the meeting. I learned this from my sister. Every time Mrs. Shui told Mingjia some rules about tea, embroidery or banquets, Mingjia would record them when she returned to the study.

Mingjia records the knowledge points into different categories, using different books, so you can read them at any time when they are not in use. I even copied down the useful knowledge points I read in the book, just so that everything I know has a source.

Xie Boyuan proposed that everything in the county government office be destroyed. There is no county annals either. We still need to know first how many villages and how many people there are. This money can be given priority to help some poor villages.

How can I help? Would you like to buy some food and send it away? But the county government didn't even have any officials. Can you ask villagers from nearby villages for help? It is difficult to ensure the villagers' psychological balance.

Xiao Qingshan felt that if the benefits were unevenly distributed among the villagers in a village, trouble would occur, let alone between villages. He comes from the countryside, and he knows how crazy villagers can be over stuttering.

Mingjia actually had some ideas in her mind, but they were imperfect plans, and she wasn't sure how to explain the source of these ideas. But just think about the land shops in Xuzhou and the freedom of wealth for the rest of my life.

Mingjia felt that she had to take the initiative to express her thoughts so that her father would take her thoughts seriously. After thinking about it, Mingjia quietly raised her little hand: I have something to say.

Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan looked at Mingjia, and Mingjia took a deep breath: "I have been reading the travel notes I wrote recently, and the booklet based on what the villagers said after arriving in Qu County."

"Dad, I think the farmer uncle will never have enough to eat if he keeps farming." Ming Jia's words were not surprising and he kept saying it. One sentence scared both Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan to death. These words should not be said!

Mingjia knew that what she said would subvert their understanding, but it was the truth. Mingjia turned around to get the travel notes she had written along the way.

Xiao Qingshan was confused. He didn't expect his little daughter to think so. Xie Boyuan looked through the travel notes recorded by Ming Jia along the way. He also wanted to know how the little girl came to this conclusion.

Mingjia saw that they were slowly reacting and decided to continue. He took the brush and paper handed over by his brother, spread them on the table, and started calculating the accounts.

"Dad, you have been registering the villagers in the county government these days. You asked them a lot of questions. Do you know how much money they can earn in a year?" Xiao Qingshan didn't know. He felt that it was a bit presumptuous to directly ask about family income, so he designed The problem does not have this item.

"I looked at the recent records of grain output in several nearby villages. The good yield per acre of land is only about 200 kilograms, and the low yield is even only 150 kilograms."

On average, two adult laborers in a family can only take care of ten acres of land, because spring plowing and autumn harvest compete for farm time, and the time in between weeding and fertilizing is relatively free.

Take our family as an example, a family of four. Two children do not count as labor force. Only 10 acres of land can be cultivated a year. Even if it is all fertile land, the annual output is only 2000 catties, or 1800 catties after paying taxes.

If a family of four wants to have enough to eat, they need to eat at least 3 kilograms of grain every day, which is 1100 kilograms of food a year. After selling 400 kilograms of grain, the grain store only paid 5 cents per kilogram. I got 2 taels of silver, which is an average of 200 wen per acre of land per year.

This is still a very ideal situation, the family is free from illness and disaster, and the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, clothing and human relations are included in it. If the output is less than 200 kilograms and the tax is more than one-tenth, the family will be hungry if they have any other expenses.

Looking at Mingjia's settlement list, Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan were silent.

Xie Boyuan even knew that in many places people had no land and relied on renting land from landlords. Wouldn't that be one more floor to pay for rent?
