Chapter 620: Flattered
When the woman said this, she was also grateful, and her words were full of gratitude to Lord Su and the princess.
"Everyone in the village says that it's thanks to Lord Su and the princess coming here that so many changes have taken place."
"We have convenient transportation, it's easy to find work, and we can earn some copper coins to supplement our family income."
"My daughter even went to a girls' academy. She was always so happy when she came back on weekends. She said she was learning how to read and write at the academy, and that the teachers were teaching her very seriously..."
The woman was also filled with emotion when she talked about this.
Who would have thought that in less than a year, the entire Hezhou would become so prosperous.
"If it were in the past, the dock would be deserted and we wouldn't dare to set up stalls there to do some small business."
"But now Lord Su encourages everyone to do this, and no one dares to cause trouble or bully us when we set up stalls there. People from the government will patrol and protect us."
"Oh, by the way, a distant relative of mine knows the situation here and is planning to move here in the spring. He has even bought a plot of land to build a house in the village."
"They've even asked us to buy some land to grow crops. I heard that those high-yield crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes will be distributed soon..."
The woman was probably happy and talked a lot.
Su Xueyi and Xiao Yueyao were actually happy when they heard this.
I'm glad you all saw these changes.
I am also glad that it has brought convenience to everyone.
They are also sincerely happy to see the conditions in each village improving.
Xiao Yueyao said, "One acre of land can produce more than a thousand kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes. With this food, everyone can have enough to eat as long as they work hard."
The woman smiled even more.
“When we heard this before, we actually didn’t believe it.”
"When Lord Su and the princess first came here, they said they would do something and pay people a day's wages, but no one believed them. The main reason was that the former prefect didn't care about the lives of the villagers at all."
"Who would have thought that those who believed in Lord Su and the princess from the beginning would actually make money and actually find work."
"I heard that the pay for working in the papermaking and printing workshops is very good. Everyone in the village is envious. They all hope that the princess will open more workshops so that everyone can have work."
"The most important thing is that it doesn't interfere with farm work at all."
"Because the princess's workshop has plenty of downtime and there are also holidays during the busy farming season, the princess is really great..."
"We've seen Lord Su and the princess do so many things, and they've accomplished everything they said. So now we believe everything they say. When they say the grain yield is that high, we really believe it. So we'll use most of our land to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, but we'll also leave some land for crops like rice and corn. We can't just eat potatoes and sweet potatoes without rice, and we don't know how it tastes, but we've heard it's delicious..."
After listening to these words, Su Xueyi and Xiao Yueyao also gained some information.
We still have to promote it later and we can’t let people stop growing rice.
The number of potatoes and sweet potatoes distributed should not be too large. It is best to limit each household to planting only one acre of land, so that everyone can leave some land to grow crops such as rice and corn.
You can't just eat potatoes and sweet potatoes, you must also eat carbohydrates.
As they were talking, they soon arrived at the woman's village.
The village is not big, with only about twenty or thirty households in total.
But from a distance, the land near the foot of the mountain has been cultivated into fields.
It can be seen that the villagers are also quite hardworking.
By this time it was getting dark and most of the villagers had gone to rest.
There were also a few houses with lights on.
The woman's house was at the entrance of the village, and we arrived there quickly.
The woman's husband heard the noise and came out holding the hand of a little boy of three or four years old.
"I was wondering why you hadn't come back so late, and I was thinking of picking you up."
"No need to pick it up. The road is safe. I took the noble man's car back. He said he bought all the fruits."
The man was very surprised and looked at Su Xueyi and Xiao Yueyao coming in.
The man's eyes widened in shock.
"Su... Lord Su, the... Princess!"
The man knelt on the ground in shock.
I really suspected that he had seen it wrong.
But he did recognize it.
He had met Lord Su and the princess before, so he knew it was them.
At this moment, he was so excited that he instinctively knelt down.
Su Xueyi and Xiao Yueyao looked at each other. It seemed that this person knew them.
"We are here incognito, no need for formalities, get up quickly!"
The man was somewhat flattered and stood up excitedly.
The woman surnamed Feng came to her senses and wanted to kneel down as well.
They were grateful to Lord Su and the princess from the bottom of their hearts, and respected them from the bottom of their hearts, so when they saw them, they couldn't help but kneel down and express their gratitude.
Xiao Yueyao hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand to prevent her from kneeling.
"The children are still watching!"
The little boy was quite brave. He blinked his big eyes at Xiao Yueyao and Su Xueyi, full of curiosity.
The eyes are clean and pure.
Xiao Yueyao took out a lollipop and handed it to him, "Here you go!"
"No, hurry up, we can't take Lord Su and the princess's things."
The couple didn't know what to do.
They didn't expect to see Lord Su and the princess, and their hearts were beating wildly with excitement.
Xiao Yueyao smiled and said, "I made this candy myself. I originally made it for my two sons. I made a little extra, but they can't finish it all, so I gave it to the kids to try."
"Take it!"
The little boy looked at his parents, and only took it after seeing them nod.
"Thank you, beautiful sister!"
Xiao Yueyao smiled. She didn't expect the child to be so polite.
The woman rubbed the clothes vigorously and said, "These are all taught by his sister after returning from the academy. It's different after reading books."
They are not very good at teaching their children at home.
When their eldest daughter came back from the academy, she would personally teach her younger brother many things and give him some enlightenment.
Even the villagers said that their temperament changed after they learned something.
Xiao Yueyao didn't stay long. She and Su Xueyi bought all the cocoa fruits, paid them, and then took the carriage back.
The couple stood at the door and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
They earned one or two taels of silver that night just from the cocoa nuts.
Originally they didn't want any money, but they didn't expect that Lord Su and the princess would give them an extra 200 coins.
"I didn't expect that we would meet Lord Su and the princess."
"It was so exciting. When the relatives came, we could tell them that we met Lord Su and the princess. They even talked to us and praised Qin'er."
Qin'er is their son.
The woman's eyes were a little red.
I think Lord Su and the princess are really nice.
"I'll tell the villagers tomorrow, they'll definitely be envious."
"That's for sure. I'm so excited I can't sleep."
"The princess also told us to work hard and live well, and she encouraged us."
"He also said that if we get any cocoa nuts in the future, we can send them to the prefectural government first. They will take as many as we send."
They simply couldn't believe what they heard.
