Qin Wan laughed. "What can I do? He's holding a grand wedding. Besides, this marriage was bought by Bai's military merits, so getting married is only natural."
but……
Qin Wan recalled the look Bai Wanyi gave the prince that day in the palace, and became thoughtful. In her previous life, she did not stop Bai Wanyi, and she entered the Marquis' Mansion smoothly. In this life, she stopped her. She knew the prince before entering the mansion, so could this marriage be successfully concluded?
Qin Wan felt a little excited when she thought about it. She called people over and said, "Find a few unfamiliar people and have them follow Bai."
Qin Xie looked at her strangely. "You still say you don't care? What are these people watching you for?"
Qin Wan told him what she had seen in the palace that day.
Qin Xie's eyes widened: "She, she is a concubine, and a concubine who has given birth to a child, and she still wants to enter the Prince's Mansion!"
"Maybe he's coveting the Crown Princess." Qin Wan knew Bai Wanyi well enough. She chuckled and said, "Let's just wait and see the joke."
It takes more than one day to watch a joke. Qin Wan asked someone to keep an eye on Bai Wanyi, and she was busy all the time.
The recipe for making glass and the new method of making paper need to be written down but they still need to be put into practice.
Qin Wan left the Marquis' Mansion with two newly prepared prescriptions.
The glass recipe was given to the manager to be taken to the workshop for trial production. Qin Wan went to Xiaoxue Village in Qiuxing County first. Food was the most important thing and the first thing she had to take a look at.
The grain seedlings need to be grown first. Now the land has been leveled and the fermented fertilizer has been used. However, there is a lot of land on the farm, and it is still difficult to supply such a large amount of manure.
Qin Wan stood at the edge of the field, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
The village head said, "We need a lot of manure. We asked the villagers to buy it and it's just enough. But what are we going to do in the future?"
In the past, the village head would not have to ask Qin Wan for permission and could have just gone out to buy them. However, Qin Wan said that these lands were very important and needed to be carefully watched, and the grain seeds also needed to be kept under close watch, so he could not make the decision on his own.
Qin Wan looked at the newly planted fruit trees in the distance and thought for a moment before saying, "Let someone lease a piece of forest, plant fruit trees, and raise some chickens and ducks there. Oh, and maybe even pigs and cows. I'll have them delivered to me later. Maybe they can handle it?"
The village head said with a smile: "Yes! The farmers you found are all good at farming, and their families are also capable. Don't worry."
Qin Wan went to check on the seedlings again. The seedlings had already sprouted and were growing vigorously under careful care.
The fruit seedlings had sprouted, and Qin Wan personally directed the grafting. "Take good care of them. Ordinary fruit trees take several years to bear fruit, but grafted ones like this might only bear fruit in one or two years. You should also note what fruit trees have been grafted, and which ones are the most delicious."
The prescriptions in Qin Wan's hand were all handed over by the head of the village in the previous life. They did whatever Bai Wanyi said. The summary was not very detailed. They had a method, but they still needed to explore it carefully.
After visiting Zhuangzi, Qin Wan went to Xiaoxuezhuang to find a place to build a paper workshop. The core part of the paper workshop would naturally be done by the found craftsmen, and someone else would have to do the rest of the trivial matters.
Qin Wan had a lot of people on her hands, and they all had signed indentures, but she still selected people from the village.
The steward was puzzled: "Miss, why did you choose people from the village? Aren't you afraid that they will learn the skills?"
Qin Wan looked at him indifferently: "Let them learn it, it will only show how incompetent you are as a manager."
The steward shook his head repeatedly: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely keep an eye on them."
Qin Wan nodded in satisfaction and then said, "We are outsiders in this village after all. It's not a big deal if we just farm on a daily basis. But now we are breeding high-quality seeds and opening a workshop. It's inevitable that people will envy us. So, making some concessions can buy long-term peace."
"What's more, what I want now is stability. I want to make sure that nothing goes wrong. Do you understand?"
The steward no longer dared to look down on this rich young lady and responded honestly: "This old servant understands."
After finishing her work in the paper-making workshop, Qin Wan plunged into the fields again. She wore an indigo coarse cloth dress and only used a silver hairpin to tie her hair into a bun. In just a few days, she became much darker. From a distance, she looked no different from an ordinary peasant woman.
Xie Qing stood on the mountain and looked out at the small village. His eyes fell on the farmland below and he frowned. "Why are there so many people surrounding such a small piece of farmland? Check it out for me. If necessary, relocate this village."
"I'm afraid this won't be easy." The person hiding in the shadows said, "That farm belongs to Miss Qin from the Xuanwu Marquis's manor."
"Miss Qin?" Xie Qing frowned, but didn't ask which Miss Qin she was referring to. After a moment's contemplation, he warned, "Keep a close eye on her."
"yes."
The grafting process wasn't easy. Qin Wan was busy for half a month before she saw some progress. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I can return to Beijing without any worries."
Several old farmers looked at Qin Wan, who looked almost the same as a country woman, and felt sad that the daughter of a marquis had actually been squatting in the fields with them, the peasants, for several days.
"Don't worry, Miss, we will take good care of her!"
"We won't sleep anymore and will keep watch every day!"
Zhuangzi was next to the fields, and for safety reasons, they built a straw hut at the edge of the field and guarded it day and night.
After Qin Wan left Xiaoxue Village, she went to Zhaojia Village in Xizhao Town, Qiuxing County. This village was bought from the original Zhao family. Almost all the people in the village were tenants, and almost all of them were farmers on this village, so the name was not changed.
There were already two families of glass craftsmen in Zhaojiazhuang, and they invited a few more from outside to set up a glass workshop directly in Zhaojiazhuang.
