Chapter 2143: Old Business: Land Reclamation
Qiao Xuan specially brought Mianmian, Lixia and Songshi with her. Anzezhou already had Liu Fu, Taotao and the others.
After settling down, Song Shi took his people out of the city to find a place.
Of course, we will continue with our old business: opening up new land!
The entire Huaixi Province is a large area, and land reclamation is the top priority to ensure logistics. For Qiao Xuan, as long as the wasteland is reclaimed and crops are planted, she can guarantee a good harvest.
If we were not afraid of making a big noise and surprising people, we would not only ensure a good harvest, but a big harvest!
The kind that scares people beyond belief.
For her, reclaiming wasteland was a sure win, so as soon as she arrived in the provincial capital, Qiao Xuan couldn't wait to tell Song Shi to go out and find a place.
Song Shi was starting a new business again. He was full of energy and energy. He didn't feel tired at all and personally led people out of the city to look for it.
Qiao Xuan had already figured it out in her mind. She could bury a spring in a flat area. As long as there was a water source, it would become fertile land.
We can open up more dry land and get fruit trees from Yuzhang to plant some fruits, including longan, lychee, mango, mangosteen, jackfruit, banana, dragon fruit, etc., which can be sold domestically and abroad.
After all, there are no such fruit trees in this area.
If we plant more sugarcane, the sugar we boil will be an excellent commodity that can be exchanged for money.
Cotton will definitely be an important commodity with great demand in the future.
Cultivate more Tremella fuciformis, shiitake mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, black fungus, etc. in exchange for money.
It can be done not only around the provincial capital, but also in other counties depending on the local conditions. The important thing is to achieve scale.
While being intimate, Qiao Xuan told Shao Yunduan about her plan in general, and Shao Yunduan naturally agreed with her 100%.
Not only did he agree, he was also very moved. His wife worked so hard, but it was all for him!
Otherwise, why would she bother? Just enjoying life at ease is enough.
Shao Yunduan was touched and grateful, and his love for her grew even stronger. When the two were together, he was extremely gentle and tender, and he wanted to give her his heart.
Shao Yunduan therefore simply selected two clerks to be specifically under Qiao Xuan's command and be responsible for these logistical support affairs.
His wife is not a woman who lives in the backyard, is virtuous and takes care of her husband and children. She should stand shoulder to shoulder with him and be respected by everyone.
This was something Qiao Xuan had not expected, but she accepted it with pleasure.
why not?
Everyone who came with An Zezhou knew Mrs. Shao's abilities and methods, and had no objection to this.
Although many officials in the prefectural government felt that it was inappropriate, they believed that women should stay in the back house in a virtuous and obedient manner, be honest and well-behaved, and at most do some socializing among other ladies, which would be considered a good wife.
How could she openly manage the affairs of the government and let the government officials in the government be dispatched by her? Isn't this nonsense!
However, the officials in the prefectural yamen did not dare to speak carelessly, let alone express their opposition openly. They only complained and made a few sarcastic remarks in private.
Neither Qiao Xuan nor Shao Yunduan cared about this. Once Qiao Xuan made some achievements, she would naturally shut them up.
Song Shi was in charge of the specific matters, and Qiao Xuan was not idle either.
A few days after arriving in the provincial capital, he sent out invitations to the wives of local wealthy families and some core officials to attend a banquet.
On the one hand, it is to win people over and understand the attitudes and behaviors of each person and each family. On the other hand, it also has the purpose of calming and comforting people's hearts.
