Happiness System

It’s not that Meng Yuxi wants to be a local tycoon. In addition to the relationship between relatives, the main reason is that Cen Lei is quite capable, so naturally he has to be won over.

Moreover, they had discovered a mining site before. Once she gave birth to the child and the new city was on track, they would take over that piece of land!

For the sake of that mine, she and Wen Yujin studied the laws of Longhai Kingdom for a long time.

Private mining is allowed in the mines of Longhai State, but the taxes are a bit higher, and priority is given to selling to the government.

But these problems are not serious. Mining has always been a high-profit industry that can easily make you rich.

The biggest worry at the moment is that someone might discover and declare the mining area first, and I am also afraid that the city lord will get crazy and steal the land.

Luo Hui and Liu Feiyan didn't stay long either. It was almost noon when they arrived, so they had lunch and hurried back.

Everyone knew that pregnant women had limited energy, especially since Meng Yuxi was carrying multiple babies, so they felt embarrassed to stay for long.

The Wen family's shop is run in a low-key manner, but business is booming.

Cen Lei had been married for less than half a month, and they had to go out to buy goods again.

The happiest person is Meng Shixu. He is seventeen years old this year and has reached the age to get married.

Although the Meng family is not one of the top ones now, and its foundation is a little weaker after the split, it can still be regarded as a new upstart.

If there is a male child of marriageable age in the family, naturally there will be matchmakers coming to propose marriage.

But Meng Shixu was a bit of a nobody, as he was one of the group that was delayed due to the famine.

Everyone knows that the father and son of the Meng family are both talented in literature and medicine, so they will be a great choice whether they open an academy or a clinic in the future.

But few people know what the youngest son of the Meng family is capable of.

Legend has it that the young master has had poor health since childhood. Legend has it that he is also a naughty boy...

Then there is no more!

Probably just a mediocre person.

Therefore, the girl recommended by the matchmaker would naturally not be very good.

Neither high nor low, this is exactly what Meng Shixu is facing now.

Knowing that he was only being taken to see the world and not recruited, Meng Shixu was also very happy. He excitedly rushed to the Wen family, "Sister, what do you think about me opening a shop too?"

Meng Yuxi looked at him with a smile and said, "Sure! Are you planning to buy a shop or a piece of land and build your own business? Have you planned what kind of shop to open? Will your father support you? Or have you saved enough private money for you to try it out once?"

Meng Shixu's face immediately fell, "Sister!"

"I haven't thought of anything yet, and I don't have any money!"

Meng Yuxi patted his head with a fan, "Okay! Why are you so depressed? Let's not rush, just think about it slowly!

When you go out this time, daddy will definitely assign you tasks. You should work hard and follow Wen Cheng or your brother Lei. Talk less and watch more. Observe more. Maybe when you come back, you will know what kind of shop you want to open!

When the time comes, if daddy doesn’t support you, sister will support you!"

Meng Shixu was also a natural optimist, and he immediately climbed up the stick, "Sister, can you help me find a suitable empty shop, or where is the best place to build a new one?"

"Hey, do you think your sister looks energetic?"

"Hehe, no matter what, my sister promised me anyway, so I'll go find my brother-in-law!"

Meng Shixu ran halfway to the study room, but when he realized that today was a workday and his brother-in-law was on duty, he immediately turned around and walked out of the house, "Sister, I'm leaving!"

Seeing his erratic look, Meng Yuxi shook her head and told Xiaoxia, "Take out 100 gold from my private vault and give it to Wen Cheng. Tell him that I prepared it for Ah Xu. If Ah Xu decides what business he wants to start, or wants to try it out, give it to him as capital."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Xiao Xia agreed but did not move immediately. Instead, she helped Meng Yuxi to the room to rest.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for autumn harvest. There was a large field of yellow wheat over there, and the heavy ears of wheat were very pleasing to the eye!

It’s a pity that Meng Yuxi cannot personally participate in the joy of this harvest.

Any farm associated with Meng Yuxi will have a harvest half a month earlier than other places, and Wen Yujin has been leaving home early and returning late recently.

The importance of food now ranks first in Tianyuan City, and the city lord will never allow anyone to destroy it for personal gain.

The soldiers of Tianyuan City not only have to participate in the autumn harvest, but also have to take turns guarding the crops at night. They are tired but full of hope.

In the past, only nobles could afford these natural foods. Who would have thought that one day they would be able to eat delicious natural foods every day and no longer have to eat those bitter and strange mutated foods.

Everyone cherishes such good days very much.

However, most people now eat coarse grains, but there are still many plains suitable for planting in Tianyuan City.

With the experience gained from this harvest, they will continue to expand the scope of planting. Maybe in the future they will be able to eat fine grains as their staple food!

Of course, these soldiers don’t know it now, but their dream will come true in a few years!

“It’s still a little low!”

When Meng Yuxi heard the production report from below, she said with disdain, but she was actually happy in her heart.

This output is almost twice the average output of Longhai Country, and is even higher than the output in later generations, in the 1960s and 1970s of her original world, when chemical fertilizers and pesticides were not yet used!

According to the observations of experienced old farmers, Cui Jiaojiao's crops not only mature half a month later than Meng Yuxi's, but the estimated yield is less than two-thirds of Meng Yuxi's.

Cui Jiaojiao is also a pregnant woman, but she is pregnant with only one baby. To her, the crops in the fields are more important than the baby in her belly. No matter how tired she is, she has to go to check on her "darling" crops once every morning and evening.

When the news spread that Meng Yuxi had started harvesting crops, Cui Jiaojiao became anxious. When the production volume was revealed, she was so angry that she went into premature labor.

Meng Yuxi was also confused when she heard the news that Cui Jiaojiao had given birth prematurely.

She said that it is not advisable to overwork in the late stages of pregnancy!

Besides, there are special people watching over the crops in the fields. Why do they need to watch over them every morning and evening?

Look, this is what happened!

Meng Yuxi still doesn’t know that Cui Jiaojiao’s premature birth has something to do with her, otherwise she would have called her a sick person.

The one betting against her was the city lord, and had nothing to do with her, Cui Jiaojiao, and the other party also regarded her as an imaginary enemy.

This is even more bizarre. She doesn't even know the fifth prince, and she is a married woman. Her family has not taken sides. They are definitely neutral and royalist!

I don’t know where the hostility comes from!

If it's for planting, then we can only say that Cui Jiaojiao is too narrow-minded.

This kind of good thing that benefits the country and the people should be promoted. How can we use food to control everyone's lifeline?

Hearing Meng Yuxi complain about Cui Jiaojiao, Wen Yujin shook his head and laughed, "Not everyone has Xier's awareness!

The Fifth Young Master's concubine takes those things too seriously. She wants to be in charge of everything herself and keeps the skills in her hands. Isn't she exhausting herself?

The Fifth Young Master later took in two concubines, and heard that he had several female confidantes outside.

I wonder if that concubine knows that she is putting the cart before the horse and pushing the Fifth Young Master further away."

Meng Yuxi also shook her head. "I don't know what she wants. Wouldn't it be better for her to be a local tyrant? Now she is like this, being a concubine who works hard all the time, tsk, isn't that tiring enough!"

Wen Yujin didn't want to gossip about an ambitious woman, so he turned to talking about what was happening on the farm.

This year, 30% of their crops will be sold to the City Lord's Mansion at a fair price. After deducting the high-quality crops that have been selected for seeds, it is estimated that less than 50% will be left.

Together with the tenants on the farm and the workers at the brick kiln, the Wen family naturally has surplus grain. However, if they want to sell it, they have to give priority to the City Lord's Mansion. The rest can be sold at market price, so it is not a loss.

After calculation, although this year is the first year of farming and they have added many homes, after careful calculation, the village still has a surplus and no loss.

Meng Yuxi was happy and sighed again, "Next year, we have to develop another piece of land at home and plant it. The City Lord's Mansion will probably ask us to expand the planting area.

I would like to take advantage of this moment to be lazy, but these little guys in my stomach are very annoying. "

Wen Yujin was helpless too. He put his hand on his wife's belly and said, "These little guys must have heard that we only plan to have one baby. They all want you to be their mother, so they all rushed into your belly in a hurry."

He sighed and said to the child in Meng Yuxi's belly: "Your mother had a really hard time carrying you. Don't be naughty and make your mother angry after you come out, otherwise your father will spank you severely!"

The child responded with a kick.

After harvesting rice and wheat, the farm still has a series of crops to harvest, and then they have to plant winter vegetables such as cabbage and radishes. They are very busy.

In addition, the first batch of pigs at the farm were also slaughtered, but Meng Yuxi was reluctant to eat them just like that.

She had to keep these for a while longer. Although her restaurant didn't have any wine, it would open soon.

Everyone who knew about the Wen family's farm was looking forward to these poultry and livestock, but unfortunately, the production was basically monopolized by the City Lord's Mansion.

The rest will have to wait a little longer. He will expand next year and raise more fish, hoping to officially put them on the market for sale by the end of next year.

As for the Wen family and the Meng family, they naturally ate it normally.

Other things are not possible, but chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits can still be supplied to the family.

Many people who were looking forward to the listing of the Wen family farm were beating their chests and stamping their feet. Why were they reluctant to part with their capital? Why did they only know how to rely on others to raise livestock, and why did they have no foresight? !

No meat to eat this time!

There are now more than 100,000 people in Xintianyuan City, and the prey in the nearby mountains are almost being hunted to extinction.

Animals are actually very sharp and intelligent. They know that humans are their natural enemies, so they will naturally migrate to uninhabited areas or deep mountains.

Except for fast-breeding pheasants and rabbits, other large animals have become difficult to hunt.

There is now a meat shortage in Tianyuan City. Even if a hunting team returns with prey, the prey will be bought up by the wealthy before it even enters the city.

It is really difficult for most families to eat meat, which makes residents who are used to eating wild animals very uncomfortable.

Knowing that the Wen family had a breeding farm, many families came to them through their connections, but unfortunately the Wen family had already declined visitors, and it was useless to ask the Meng family for help.

No matter who you give it to or not, you will offend them, and you are not even allowed to eat it yourself!

Large-scale breeding has not started this year and the supply is too high.

Because there were too many people asking for meat, and because Meng Yuxi was not in good condition, the opening time of Wen's Restaurant was postponed again and again.
