Happiness System
Chapter 395: True Gold's Escape 57
The Wen family celebrated New Year's Eve in a warm and harmonious manner. Although there were some problems in the Meng family next door, they were all suppressed forcefully by the old man. Overall, it was okay.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, several large families that were willing to help joined together to distribute porridge. The Wen family did not participate due to concerns about next year's plans, but still cooked a few pots of meat and bone soup and sent them over.
Now that everyone knows that life is hard, no one would be tactless enough to disturb others at their homes. Meng Yuxi went back to her parents' home to sit for a while, but did not stay for dinner.
Meng Shijin also took Mu Yao and her daughter Xiaoxiao to Mu's house, sat for a while and then came back.
After February, the winter snow melts into spring water, and all things come back to life.
The Wen and Meng families were not in a hurry to build houses, but instead started to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land.
The Meng family currently follows the Wen family in doing whatever they want, and the location of the manor they choose is right next to the Wen family's.
Meng Yuxi's series of commands were also puzzling, especially to the old farmers. How could they farm in this way?
Cui Jiaojiao thought Meng Yuxi was also a king. She even regarded Meng Yuxi as her number one opponent. Is that it?
This is bullshit!
Meng Yuxi naturally knew whether it was nonsense or not.
The protection of intellectual property rights is now at the S level. Her actions are indeed true and false, but none of them are redundant.
Although Cui Jiaojiao is a student at an agricultural school, her planting experience is on mature land, while the new city is all undeveloped wasteland.
Just because she grew weak vegetables in Luli Continent, she thought she could interfere in the cultivation of the entire new city. What is she thinking!
Meng Yuxi and Cui Jiaojiao were competing with each other, and the happiest person was the city lord.
Don’t think that the Longhai Kingdom exempted their new city from taxes for three years. In fact, the city walls haven’t even been built yet, and they have already owed a lot of debts.
If the food grown this year cannot supply the tens of thousands of people in Xincheng, then their Xincheng will be finished!
The beneficiary of the competition between the two sides was naturally Xincheng, but the city lord trusted the Wen family more and secretly built a farm and asked people to follow the Wen family in farming.
In addition, he made full use of his resources and allocated land and manpower to Meng Yuxi and Cui Jiaojiao, bringing the competition between the two to the surface.
Meng Yuxi was so excited, she didn't expect that the city lord was so good at playing!
There is no problem in taking the City Lord's Mansion with her, but she doesn't want to be a free laborer!
Wen Yujin went to the City Lord's Mansion to negotiate several times before he got a satisfactory result. However, the City Lord also had requirements. Any promise made before the standards were met would be invalidated, which was equivalent to signing a gambling agreement.
But Meng Yuxi was still quite confident. Her supernatural abilities had not declined any further. She might not be able to do other things, but she could observe the condition of the plants and adjust the planting methods at any time.
If you want to succeed, you must first sharpen your weapons!
After all, Meng Yuxi was someone who had traveled through many worlds. Long before the spring, they had sent people out to customize a batch of farming tools. Now, it was naturally easier to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land.
In April, the fields were thriving. Meng Yuxi, with her big belly, strolled around the farm as usual, gave some instructions, and then turned back home.
As soon as I got off the carriage, the butler came up to me and said, "Madam, there is a caravan outside. Do you want to see if there is anything you want to buy?"
His wife was pregnant with multiple babies, and her belly was as big as that of a woman who was six or seven months pregnant when she was just over three months pregnant. But he didn't dare ask her to join in the fun!
"Let me see!"
Meng Yuxi took the list from him, on which the product names and prices were clearly marked.
"Tsk!" She shook her head. "He is indeed a very smart businessman! This price hits everyone's bottom line!"
She returned the list and continued, "Look at what's in short supply at home and buy some, and make a list of the rest...
It must be quite lively over there. Since it is profitable, why don’t we do this business ourselves?
It would be a waste of talent to let Wen Cheng and his friends farm and make bricks. It just so happens that they can free up now. The shop on the main street should be completed too, right?
Let them go and do business!"
Meng Yuxi had thought about this problem a long time ago, so she was desperate to get all kinds of resources.
The timing was just right now, so she discussed these things with Wen Yujin in the evening.
This is a good thing for the Wen family, so Wen Yujin would naturally not refuse.
He touched Meng Yuxi's belly and said, "You, aren't the things in the fields enough for you to worry about?
I will take care of the rest for you, and you should take good care of yourself."
When Wen Yujin found out his wife was pregnant with multiple babies, his first reaction was not joy, but confusion. To be honest, his wife is only 20 years old now, and he is 25 years old. He would naturally be unwilling to not have the child, but if he did, he was worried that his wife's body would not be able to bear it.
Multiple births are naturally a great joy to a family like the Wen family, which has few offspring, but it is not a good thing for the mother, especially since they live in a new city that is still under construction and where resources are scarce.
"I'm fine, the kids are well behaved, and besides, I just walked around and talked, nothing else!
If you let me stay at home every day and do nothing, I guess I won't be able to stay idle.
I'm going to be a hard worker anyway, so I might as well take advantage of the good market conditions now and earn some money for my children!"
Meng Yuxi was also helpless about these children. They had agreed to have only one child. The Goddess of Fertility must have known about it. She was not willing that they only had one child, so she stuffed three into her belly at once!
There is no fetal reduction technology here, and she is reluctant to give up the child, so this is the only way!
The couple chatted for a few words, and then Mu Yao and Lin Qianqian came to visit again, so Wen Yujin went to the study to work.
Mu Yao and Lin Qianqian are pregnant with another baby, which is one month bigger than Meng Yuxi's.
Meng Yuxi admires them so much!
But the two of them didn't mind, and even argued that if they didn't have more babies, there would naturally be other women to give birth to babies for their husbands.
They were planning to have at least three children, and now they have the mentality of having them as soon as possible and being done with it.
Now it's not just the two of them who are pregnant in the Meng family. Mu Xian and other sisters-in-law are also pregnant, and even the new fourth aunt.
It should be said that many women in the new city are pregnant. In this case, the government is naturally happy. What the new Tianyuan City lacks most is population and strong labor for construction!
At the beginning of spring, the people of Daqi heard the news and came here. Some had been assigned to other cities before, and some had just landed from the sea and were looking for the organization. So far, there have been four or five groups of people, totaling more than 30,000 people.
Even so, the population of New Tianyuan City has not yet reached 100,000!
It is less than one twentieth of the population of Daqi in the past!
"Sister Xi, have you heard that a caravan is holding a market outside the city? I heard that there is everything to eat, drink and use. It's a pity that my family won't let us go out to see the fun!"
Mu Yao looked depressed. They came here just for the caravan market.
Lin Qianqian also said helplessly: "Yes, I have been rushing all the way and have never been to the city to have a good stroll. I have even forgotten what it feels like to go shopping and drink tea."
Meng Yuxi shook her head and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Those merchants are not fools, and the former wealthy people are not fools either. The shops on the main street are about to be built, so they will not be empty.
The things in the current market are not worth the money, and it is not safe because of the mixed crowd. It is better to wait until the shops on the main street open up, so that you can feel more comfortable, right?"
In fact, the second half of the journey was relatively easy for Meng Yuxi and Mu Yao. They would occasionally go for a stroll in larger cities, but they didn't want to say it out loud and irritate Lin Qianqian.
To be honest, Lin Qianqian's life is not easy either. Now they are still squeezed in the Wen family's house. Above her are not only her mother-in-law but also her elder sister-in-law. Moreover, because they did not go through the most difficult times in the same boat, the relationship between them was also different.
As the three of them talked, they finally talked about the house again.
Lin Qianqian looked at the Wen family's house with envy and said, "My parents-in-law said that they have already ordered the bricks and tiles, but my sister-in-law and I are both pregnant, so it's not easy to start construction. In addition, it's rainy in spring, so it's not a good time to build a house... I don't know if I can live in a new house this year."
Now everyone is busy with farming, and there are various engineering projects at the government's disposal. They don't have anyone in their own family who knows how to build. If they rely on the Ministry of Works, they might not be able to get a job at her house until winter.
Meng Yuxi naturally knew that the bricks and tiles for the second room were ordered from the Wen family's brick kiln.
Now that the two families are far away from each other, Meng Yuxi also wants to stay away. Without her to lead them, those families will really be one step slower than others in everything they do!
If the Wen family hadn’t reserved seats for relatives and friends, the Meng family wouldn’t have been able to get a seat this year!
Now the Wen family’s brick kiln not only has to supply its own family, but also has to make a quota supply to the government. The current production capacity depends entirely on manpower, so don’t hold out too much hope for the quantity!
This is even more true for the government, they can't even supply it themselves!
Now many people have gone to mine stones to build stone houses, and many people even plan to build mud houses first as a transition, and then tear them down and rebuild them after the new city's economy recovers in three to five years and the situation improves and resources are not so tight.
As homeowners, Meng Yuxi and Mu Yao were both at a loss as to how to comfort her.
Lin Qianqian was more open-minded. She knew she had spoiled the fun, so she turned to discussing matters related to the fields.
Vegetables are now being harvested and put on the market. Although these crops cannot be exchanged for money for the time being, there is no problem eating them at home.
The Wen and Meng families both started raising livestock on the farm at the same time. They couldn't afford beef, mutton, pork or other poultry in the short term, but they would be able to eat chicken, duck or geese in a month or two.
But this is only limited to some male poultry, the females must be kept for laying eggs and breeding!
There are only a few people who are willing to pay the same high price as the two families to get poultry. The surrounding area is actually not much different from the original forest. There are so many kinds of wild animals in the forest, and everyone is more willing to hunt wild animals and bring them back for food.
They are all a bunch of kids who have been cheated by Luli Continent and have never eaten fine bran. Most of them have never seen the charm of poultry. They think that the game from the mountains is very delicious, and the most important thing is that it is free!
The Wen family is involved in the breeding industry for one reason: to satisfy their appetite, and also to prepare for a business empire!
