It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

“After they lease the vegetable plots, do they still have the energy to grow paddy fields?”

Liu Yuan smiled. The boss really cared about others. "If you can make a lot of money by growing vegetables, it doesn't matter if you don't grow rice. They know that you can't chew more than you can chew, so they won't do anything beyond their ability."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Let Lao Liu's family take care of the greenhouse vegetables. I want to plant cucumbers for the first crop, so we can ask them to grow the seedlings in advance."

"We need to prepare now. After the crops are harvested, we can plant the seedlings in the fields. This way, we can do both."

"Uncle Liu is an old hand, I am confident in leaving it to you. We have cooperated very well over the past year, and I will not let you down."

Liu Yuan bowed his hands in fear and trepidation, "The boss has treated me well. My wife and I both work on the farm. The eldest son is away from home, so there are three people in the family who earn money. The eldest son is the head of the family, and the second son and his wife take care of a few acres of land. Who wouldn't envy our good life? After the rice is harvested, I will prepare to build a new house. There are many people in the family, and when we have money, we want to live in a more spacious place."

If the subordinates live well, it means that the boss is doing a good job. "I am good, you are good, everyone is good. As long as we work hard, we can all live in a new house."

Liu Yuan smiled and said yes, the common people just want to have enough food, warm clothes and a house to live in.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and Weng Xiaoxiao was in a very good mood.

The golden rice fields are a busy scene. The adults are harvesting in the front, sweating profusely, and the children are picking up ears of rice with baskets in the back. The grains are stored in the warehouse, and the joy of harvest is everywhere.

Weng Xiaoxiao had the title of scholar, so she was exempt from paying taxes and did not have to kneel when meeting officials. Although she was very busy for several months at the beginning, it was all worth it in the end.

Since she didn't have to pay taxes, she naturally didn't need to exploit the tenants, but she couldn't make an exception to reduce the rent, and she couldn't give the tenants the impression that she was weak and could be bullied. But she wanted to be kind, so she could only make it easier for everyone to use cattle, or organize people to dredge ditches during the slack season, and pay them some wages. These small favors not only made up for the "exploitation" debt deep in Weng Xiaoxiao's heart, but also made the tenants support and love her more.

Compared with other landlords, Weng Xiaoxiao is really a good boss.

During this period, more than ten new tenants came one after another, some were introduced by relatives, and some were found by themselves. It happened that the newly purchased vegetable plot was short of manpower, so after a careful inspection, all those who had no problems were retained.

However, the village here is small and there are not many residential plots, so people who live not far away can only live where they were originally. However, there are two families who are really too far away from here, so Liu Yuan arranged them to live in Wang Fang’s original house.

......

Weng Xiaoxiao went into the house and changed her dusty coat. She came out and just took a sip of tea when Xiaotian hurriedly walked in.

"Boss, the banker just sent it to me. There are three feathers painted on it."

The bank had its own communication channels, and Weng Xiaoxiao used this convenience to communicate with the outbound caravans. She told Chen Cheng the story of the chicken feather letter, and imitated it to create their own secret code for communication.

Three feathers indicate an emergency that must be dealt with immediately.

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at the envelope and found the wax seal was intact. She hurriedly opened it and began to read.

"Weng Xiao:

Hello, although I didn't know how to do it for the first time in Shuncheng, the progress was relatively smooth. However, this time when we brought goods into Shuncheng, we encountered obstacles everywhere. No one was interested in selling our goods, and even when we went to buy goods, no one was willing to sell to us. When we were at a loss, a kind local person guided us and said that to do business in Shuncheng, we must go to the port, and we must be the one who can make the decision in the caravan. When I asked other caravans, they all had their owners personally visit Shuncheng. That's why I have to write to you urgently, and I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible.

Chen Cheng's handwriting.

Weng Xiaoxiao closed the letter, it seemed that the journey to Mobei had to begin.

Taking Feng Gu with her is the best choice, but it is definitely not possible to go to Yangzhou without someone in charge. Those people are still too young to control. Without discussing it with Feng Gu, Weng Xiaoxiao decided who would go with her, and this time she would only take Chunxia and Xiaokong. Xiaotian's hand injury has not healed yet, so he went to the farm to replace Xiaokong, and Qiuyue became Feng Gu's right-hand man.

It was easy to arrange things at home, but this long journey would take at least one or two months, and it would be the end of the year when he returned, so it would be wrong not to report to his employer. Weng Xiaoxiao went to ask for an audience with Nie Feng.

"If you go there now, by the time you get there, the roads in Mobei will be blocked by heavy snow. That's ridiculous!" Nie Feng felt inexplicably angry after hearing this. This girl is really restless.

Is that so? Why did I ignore this question? Weng Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead in annoyance.

"Calm down first. Their business is just not going well. There is no other danger. Write a letter and I will find a way to send it to you as soon as possible. You can ask them to stay there to get the news, or they can return the same way."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded. This was the safest way to deal with the situation. "Thank you, Boss. I was just too excited at the time."

"You can't get too excited. I've already found some people, and they'll be here soon. Just don't get too close. This guy is very smart. Even if he's one of mine, don't show your true colors."

When she is not hot-headed and impulsive, Weng Xiaoxiao's brain is still sufficient. "Thank you for the reminder, boss. I will take care of it."

This is one of the reasons why Weng Xiaoxiao is very grateful to Nie Feng. When applying for a new household registration, Nie Feng filled in two people. The head of the household is Weng Xiao, and Weng Xiao has a twin sister named Weng Xi. Weng Xiao has a reputation as a scholar, and if his identity is exposed, he will be hard to escape the blame. But as long as the operation is done properly, Weng Xiao will die unexpectedly, and Weng Xi can come on stage.

It takes less effort to talk to smart people, so Nie Feng naturally doesn't need to say anything else. Even if he really wants to protect her behind him, he has to be willing to do so.

"Write it now, and I'll send it to you when you're done."

Weng Xiaoxiao hurriedly thanked him and went back to her office to write a letter.

The letter focused on the two options mentioned by Nie Feng, and let Chen Cheng make the final decision based on the local situation. When a general is away, he must have a certain degree of autonomy.

......

Weng Xiaoxiao listened to the advice and gave up the idea of ​​going to Mobei immediately, but she still had to go after all. She could set off after the New Year. By the time she got there, the road should be unobstructed. There was no need to panic now, as there were more than two months to prepare.

In the original book, the policy of reducing the power of the vassal states could not be implemented, and the young emperor should take some action during this Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, the male protagonist was exposed as a man of King Tuo. After rescue efforts from all sides, he was rescued, but the contradiction between the central government and the vassal kings was completely exposed, and civil war was imminent.

The war stretched across the entire north from King Tuo's western fiefdom to the capital, but did not involve Mobei where Yang Shuo was. Perhaps it was because the final battle was in the capital that Yang Shuo led the main force to rescue the king.

To be on the safe side, the caravan should retreat back to Jiangnan after another year.
