Wei Xiyin: "Yes."

The imperial court had an agricultural official who was specifically responsible for teaching the people how to farm, and he was called Si Nong.

The weather was abnormal, making it very difficult for people to farm.

All kinds of seeds need to be distributed by the tribe, including winter greenhouses, summer water sources, and how to increase yields in spring while plants are growing rapidly. All of these require someone to provide guidance.

As the population grew and trivial matters increased, all the affairs of the fort were taken care of by Mingjingtang, and the uncles were busy every day.

In this case, it would be better to further subdivide the work of Mingjingtang.

It starts with fields and taxes.

Everyone has his or her own duties, and there are enough people under him or her to reduce the pressure on the clan as much as possible.

Wei Mingsheng lowered his head to ponder for a while, then came to his senses and clapped his hands, saying, "Wu Niang, this is a good idea!"

Some uncles nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Now that the monsters in Qinghe County have been cleared out, more and more farmland will be found. The grain collected in the future can be used to support the army. It really shouldn't be mixed with our public domain."

Wei Xiyin acted very modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, uncles."

Then she continued, "When the Ministry of Agriculture is established, we can also recruit some talented people with research ideas about planting to guide the people in farming."

Mingjing Hall was originally the place where the clan handled miscellaneous affairs, so naturally all the people inside were members of the Wei clan.

The institute rarely opens to the outside world and recruits a limited number of talents.

Once the responsibilities of each position are broken down, we can actually recruit some talented people to help share some of the chores.

You should know that there are many children of wealthy families living in the dock. Since the logistics and workshops are controlled by the clan members, there are limited jobs available outside. Even if they have talents, they can only do physical work.

"Wu Niang is right."

The more Wei Mingsheng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. He couldn't even stay for a moment and hurriedly said goodbye to the clan leader.

He wanted to quickly return to Mingjing Hall to work out a set of rules and regulations, then give them to the clan leader for review, and set up the Ministry of Agriculture before planting winter wheat.

The uncles and aunts did not stay long and said goodbye one after another.

Suddenly, only three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were left in the room.

Wei Lang had been sitting obediently at the bottom, and only found the opportunity to speak after everyone had left. He looked at his sister eagerly, "Sister, can I go to the county town to play for a while?" He wanted to ride a horse...

Wei Xiyin heard this but didn't have time to say anything.

Wei Ji turned his head and glared at him, scolding him, "You just play all day! If you don't want to go to the camp to train, then go to the academy and learn a few more words."

Erlang is dull and can't learn a word even after being taught more than ten times.

Every time he had to learn to read and write, it was like a death sentence for him. He would either find an excuse to pretend to be sick or cry incessantly.

The family couldn't do anything about him.

It’s mainly not the right material!

Wei Xiyin naturally stood on her grandfather's side and said quietly, "Grandfather is right. If Erlang doesn't want to go to training, why not follow Wenkang to the clan school to study."

When Wei Lang heard this, he actually wanted to study?!

How is this different from killing him?

He quit immediately!

"Grandfather, don't read!"

Wei Lang stood up and ran out, "Grandson will go to the camp for training now."

The child was in a hurry and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The grandparents and granddaughter were in perfect harmony. They sat down calmly without even glancing outside.

Wei Ji glanced at his granddaughter. She had changed her clothes specially before coming here. Her skin was still dark, her eyes were bright, and she looked in good spirits.

Thinking about the hard work outside.

Wei Ji sighed and said, "I don't need you to accompany me here. I just came back. Go back to the yard and rest first."

"Granddaughter is not tired."

Wei Xiyin said, "It will take a while to clear out all the supplies, and my granddaughter needs to wait for the army to return."

Wei Ji's eyes flickered slightly, implying that they would set out again once all the troops returned.

Guangping County is a long way away, and it is definitely impossible to get back in winter. You can imagine how dangerous it is to be outside.

But Hejian County, which served as a transit point for rest, has become stable, so the Zhao family of Hejian has become extremely important.

Wei Ji was planning to tell his granddaughter about Zhao's situation in detail.

Wei Xiyin suddenly said, "My granddaughter does not intend to participate in Guangping's subsequent affairs."

Wei Ji paused, the kind expression on his face slowly fading. Suddenly, he understood and his eyes became sharp. "You want to rush to Kyoto in winter?!"

How can this child be so brave!

"We're thousands of miles apart. Do you know the dangers along the way? Do you care about the lives of those soldiers?!"

He couldn't hold back for a moment and shouted so loudly that he attracted Uncle Wu who was guarding outside the door.

Uncle Wu looked into the room with a worried look on his face.

Why did the head of the family quarrel with Wu Niang?

Wei Xiyin lowered her head in silence for a moment before she slowly said, "My granddaughter can't wait any longer. I was hoping they'd come back in the spring or summer, but look, Grandfather, winter's coming soon..."

Wei Ji suddenly froze.

He had the same thought, but the fort was not completely secure at that time, and without soldiers and horses, it was difficult to move forward, so Chunxia could not make a decision in time.

We have an army now, but winter is coming, and the monsters are about to grow stronger...

Things don't always go as planned.

How could he just watch his granddaughter put herself in danger?

Wei Ji couldn't help but slow down his tone, "Winter is freezing cold and full of dangers. It's only a few months long, so why not wait a little longer?"

"Grandfather, have you ever thought about how many of the survivors outside can survive those months?" Wei Xiyin asked, "Besides, the journey to Kyoto is long. By the time your granddaughter leaves Yizhou, spring might have already arrived outside. The timing is perfect."

She had to deal with Zhao first before she dared to take people away.

It was winter then, and the timing for setting off was neither good nor bad. Yizhou was mountainous, so she was very confident in traveling in winter.

Wei Xiyin tried to persuade her grandfather, but her tone was extremely firm, "The temperature is abnormal. Even if we set out in spring, it might take another year to get there. Every day we wait will put Father, Mother, and my eldest brother in greater danger. My granddaughter must go to Kyoto!"

Her third uncle's words made her think for a long time.

There was a lack of food and clothing outside, and monsters were rampant. The thought that her family might be waiting for her to rescue them...

How could she sit still?

The dock is now secure and there are no more worries in the rear. If it goes on like this, who knows how long it will take.

If she doesn't take action, she's afraid she'll regret it for the rest of her life.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I will be fully prepared before setting off again. I will bring enough men, horses, and supplies."

She looked up and said seriously, "As for the troops who will follow me, I will carefully select them and will not force anyone. I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety."

"The fort has all the necessary equipment, including ample gunpowder and chariots. The research institute is currently conducting experiments..." She analyzed the situation from every angle, hoping to convince her grandfather to agree...

Wei Ji clenched the teacup in his hand, pursed his lips, and listened silently with a thousand thoughts in his mind. In the end, all his worries and helplessness turned into a sigh.

"Let's first resolve Zhao's issue. Let me explain Zhao's situation in detail..."

His granddaughter is growing up just as he had hoped, and is standing on her own feet in the world like a son.

He is old after all...
