Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Another January has passed.

The renovation project on Zhuangzi is in full swing, and the daily progress of building houses in Lushui Village is also very fast.

The next day after Li Changle returned to the farm, she went to the county government office. The government servants took her to the warehouse in the city where the sweet potato seedlings were to be stored. She took the key to the warehouse and went back.

Three days later, a long queue formed in front of the warehouse door. The line was spectacular. All of them were carrying baskets. They stretched their necks and whispered to each other.

The people all secretly held on to hope that the grain seedlings, which cost three cents per acre, would bring them unexpected surprises.

Especially for the disaster victims who have newly reclaimed land after settling down, they are in urgent need of grain harvests as a basis for survival.

A group of yamen runners started selling sweet potato seedlings at the door of the warehouse. Magistrate Li Huaitong brought another group of yamen runners to inspect the place and received a lot of praise from the people.

Although he didn't know where Li Changle got so many sweet potato seedlings, he had firmly grasped the benefits in his hands, which made him feel even more grateful to Li Changle.

These are all political achievements.

A year ago, he was still shamelessly raising money and grain for the sake of food and clothing for the people of the county. He knew that an empty granary would affect the results of his performance evaluation the following year, but he still did not hesitate and opened the granary to release grain before the order from above arrived.

We can't just guard the granary and watch the people starve to death.

He intuitively felt that there was little hope for promotion, and he had already prepared himself mentally for either re-election or being punished. He felt that he had done his best to wear the official uniform if he could ensure the peace of the people and disaster victims in the county and prevent them from causing trouble.

But he was lucky.

After fleeing all the way from Guangji County, Li Changle chose to come to Li County, so there was no way to stop this good luck.

Why doesn't she go to Danggui County?

Why not go to Datong County?

I'm supposed to be here to lend him a helping hand!

When Li Huaitong returned to the county government office full of excitement, he was still thinking about another thing that Li Changle had told him that day.

She said she had wheat seeds! And they were high quality wheat seeds!

The yield per mu is double that of wheat seeds sown in previous years!

So, how could he not be moved!

There's not much food left in the granaries.

Not only did the people need food to survive, but he, as the county magistrate, also felt guilty and anxious because he had no food.

Besides, the government doesn’t have to spend money to buy grain seeds!

He has already sent yamen runners to count the households that need wheat seeds. This time there is no limit on the number of acres. If the wealthy households ask for a hundred acres of wheat seeds, then perhaps they are the ones.

At night, he and his wife Fang Ruyu sighed, "This is not God helping me, this is Madam Li helping me!"

Several years of drought made him feel helpless, as if God was playing a trick on him.

The officialdom is ever-changing, and being far away from the capital, it’s possible that I might be forgotten by my superiors.

Even if he was close, what did it matter? He came from an ordinary family and had no backing. If he had had a backing, he would not have stayed in Li County for five years. There was no one in the court to help him, and he had never been ashamed of doing cheap things, so he just took root in Li County in a lukewarm manner.

Even his old father often said that he was stubborn and unwilling to change.

Fang Ruyu echoed his words and said, "That's true. Most of the good news I've heard recently is related to Madam Li. I don't know where all that grain comes from."

"I always feel that this person has a bit of fairy spirit." He laughed at himself and said, "Look at what I said... Let's not talk about this for now. This is another matter. You have to make a decision. I don't want to care about it anymore."

Li Huaitong's attention was diverted, and he asked curiously: "What's the matter?" He paused, his face slightly gloomy, "But what's going on in Kyoto?"

"No, didn't the Kyoto send you a letter recently? As long as your father-in-law is in good health, your half-brother won't be able to cause any trouble."

Li Huaitong listened for a long time without saying anything. Then he came to his senses and asked his wife, "What are you talking about?"

"It's your son's business!" Fang Ruyu snorted. "If you don't take care of it, the drawer of his desk will smell like candy."

After that, she briefly told Li Huaitong about Li Yiyang hiding a candy in the desk drawer and what happened on the way to Huiji Temple in the western suburbs many days ago.

"You tell me, even if Yu'er and Shixi are impossible, then it is possible for her to be with our Yang'er? The Gu and Sun families in Kyoto are still a little too high for our family to reach, right? If you really fall in love with them, you will be sad in the future."

Li Huaitong sneered when he heard the latter part, "I didn't know he had such an idea." He recalled the little girl's face and figure in his mind, but he didn't have much impression. After all, she was just a baby and he didn't pay much attention to her.

He patted the back of his wife's hand and said, "Madam, don't worry. Yang'er has a tough personality and ordinary people can't easily defeat him. You think that the threshold of the Gu family and the Sun family is too high for ordinary people to cross, but how can you be sure that my Yang'er is an ordinary person?"

"Relax, whatever happens will happen. The child knows what's going on and knows her limits. Besides, she's only two or three years old, right? How can you be sure that Yang'er feels this way about her? Maybe he just treats her like a younger sister."

As he talked, Li Huaitong really became happy.

My son is already thirteen years old, and that girl is only four or five years old, right?

What kind of friendship could this be other than brother-sister love?

Fang Ruyu saw that her husband didn't take this seriously and stopped the discussion out of boredom.

She shouldn't have expected any good ideas from him.

……

Leshan Zhuangzi.

Li Changle, Li Ping and his eldest son Li Haibo stood on the slightly higher flat ground in front of the door of the house. Looking from there, wherever they could see, they could see all kinds of busy figures.

The general outline of the eco-farm has been taken.

Each area is separated by fences, earth walls, trees, or gravel roads.

The entire land of Leshan Village is divided into large and small plots.

The land near the edge of Xiaoleshan is an experience field area for wheat and rice fields.

Adjacent to it, across a ditch, is a neatly groomed vegetable patch. The patch is large enough, with ridges of vegetables enclosed by bamboo fences. Many of the vegetables in the patch are ready to be picked and eaten, such as beans, eggplants, and loofahs, which hang quietly on the fence, looking very tender.

When Li Ping's eyes swept here, the corners of his mouth twitched. The farm was still under construction, but the products inside had already grown and were ready for sale.

The two puddles in the grove were no longer hidden. The two rows of trees that blocked the view were cut down, and the puddles were expanded several times and transformed to be level with the ground. They could almost be called fish and shrimp ponds.

There is a trickle of water flowing through here, and then it merges with the stream at the foot of Xiaole Mountain, and flows all the way to the outside of Zhuangzi. Finally, it flows into Leshui River.

The puddle is separated into two sides by a fine bamboo net, where fish are raised on one side and shrimps are raised on the other.

A low wooden fence was built around the water hole.

Several rows of bamboo corridors have been built on the east, west, south and north sides to block the sun. Under the corridors are benches for people who like to fish and shrimp.

Next to the huge rock opposite the puddle is a yard. At the entrance of the yard hangs a wooden sign with four big characters "Leshan BBQ" inscribed on it.

Leshan BBQ extends outwards, including "Leshan Hot Pot", the two-story "Tea", "Leshan Ecological Supermarket", "Vineyard", "Strawberry Garden", "Leshan Farmhouse"...

Part of Xiaoleshan was turned into terraced fields and handed over to Li Nanxing and his son to manage and grow medicinal herbs.

On the other side of Xiaoleshan, the "Leshan Secret Garden" is being built, with flowers and trees planted everywhere in the mountains, and there are also several inn courtyards.

Further away on Bijia Mountain, several orchards have been divided and fruit trees have been planted.

The tea farmers told Li Changle that tea trees prefer shade, so the planting method used on Bijia Mountain is to interplant tea trees between fruit trees.

The small lake at the foot of the mountain was planted with lotus roots.

There are several rows of hawthorn trees beside the lake.

A flat dirt road that can accommodate a horse-drawn carriage runs from the gate of the manor to the end of the manor, where the fish and shrimp ponds are, through the entire Leshan manor.

After taking a look around in a ox cart, the father and son from Liping came back feeling unwell.

Is the reputation of their Wanjia Restaurant in danger?
