He was covered in sweat and panting, looking like he had run there, but his eyes were shining.
He was holding a basin in his hand, which contained a large batch of freshly pulled rice seedlings, their roots still covered in soil and slightly damp.
It's lush and green, quite verdant, forming a small little world.
Standing at the door, he called out, "Excuse me, is anyone home? I'm Wei Lizheng from Fengle Village, here to see Lian'er."
As he gazed at the Qiao family's spacious and magnificent courtyard, he thought to himself, "The Qiao family is truly capable."
Such a clever and resourceful young girl has emerged, and several generals have also risen to prominence. The men have won battles, and the girl has even become the garrison's military advisor. These stories have spread far and wide.
Even within a radius of dozens or hundreds of miles, everyone knows the Qiao family of Datian Village.
Qiao Lian'er was in the study, flipping through a book of military strategies, which was a gift from General Guan; there were ten of them in total.
She took notes as she read, and tried her best to understand the concepts and apply them to other situations.
Actually, she had never been exposed to these things before; she had only created some formations by taking advantage of a slight information gap.
Since General Guan has entrusted her with this important task, she should study hard and become a qualified strategist.
Hearing someone calling her from outside, she went out and recognized it as Wei Lizheng.
"Uncle Wei, please come inside and sit down."
Wei Lizheng was beaming with joy and practically ran into the Qiao family home.
“Girl, look! My rice seedlings have grown strong and healthy, and they’ve grown taller. They’re all packed together so tightly. They used to be so sparse, it was almost unbearable to look at.”
"There is hope, there is great hope."
Qiao Lian'er looked at the rice seedlings. Of course, they couldn't compare to those grown in modern farmland, but they were visibly much better than those in the original fields of Fengle Village.
A hint of joy filled her heart.
"It's good that it works; I've been waiting for this result too."
Lingyin poured tea for the guests and then left the living room.
When Wei Lizheng saw that he was being served tea, a hint of gratitude appeared on his face.
Suddenly, he realized that he had been too excited and hasty just now, and almost forgot that the little girl in front of him was already the garrison's strategist.
He smiled apologetically, picked it up and took a sip. He found it refreshingly sweet and pleasant.
“Girl, how come that fertilizer you brought out is so magical? If all the villagers use it, every household will have a good harvest, and they won’t have to worry about making it through next autumn.”
“When I get back to the village, I’ll immediately tell everyone to come and buy fertilizer from me. Just name a price so they can be prepared.”
"One hundred catties of fertilizer per mu, fifty coins per hundred catties will do."
Originally, it would have been reasonable to charge 100 wen for 100 jin, but the villagers had already bought plastic film and basically had no money left. Every household had more than 10 mu of land, and if they really charged 100 wen, many families couldn't afford even one tael of silver.
"Okay, it's not expensive. Using this stuff will make the roots strong and the seedlings green, and the yield will increase. Everyone will be happy to buy it."
Qiao Lian'er said, "Actually, I only charge the cost price, which means I don't make a single penny off everyone. It can't be any less than that."
Wei Lizheng felt a deep respect for her. As expected of the Qiao family girl, she was thinking of helping everyone get through this difficult time. She was a responsible and dependable person. After all, charging only the cost price might even result in a loss.
If most of our savings hadn't been taken away, we wouldn't be unable to afford a higher price, but now there's really no other way.
“Girl, your actions are virtuous, and everyone will thank you. When things are better next year, you can collect more. We can't let you do good deeds for nothing.”
