"Don't rush, have a sip of water first and then we'll talk slowly."
Ma Douzi's young face was full of anxiety, and because she was running so fast, her speech was intermittent.
Zhen Wanwan was not in a hurry or urge him, and waited for him to calm down.
Ma Douzi has been eating well at home lately, and has grown very tall in just six months.
What didn't match his tone was his voice; it was still the voice of a child who hadn't yet broken down.
"My lady! Someone from home has come! Granny Zhang sent me to tell you to come home!"
Zhen Wanwan raised an eyebrow slightly. She had been busy with family matters lately, so she brought her two children over to help.
Do you know who it is?
Ma Douzi nodded and said, "The person who came was a handsome young man. He said his surname was Cui and that he belonged to the lady!"
Ma Douzi unconsciously lowered his voice before saying the last sentence. It was deadly! He had seen the man with his own eyes, and he was no less handsome than his own master.
I don't know where my wife got into all this romantic entanglements, but someone even came to our house to chase after her.
The master must not find out about this, or my wife will be in trouble.
Ma Douzi automatically enacted a melodramatic drama in her mind, and the inspiration for this drama came from the aunties in the village.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Wanwan let out a soft sound. Seeing Ma Douzi's tense expression, she thought the newcomer was not someone to be trifled with.
Unexpectedly, it was Cui Jinyi who came. After thinking about it carefully, she should have already made arrangements for Old Master Cui and Old Madam Cui.
"I understand! I'll go back right away!"
Zhen Wanwan straightened the wrinkles in her clothes and carried the two children into the old-fashioned baby carriage that Grandpa Zhen had given them when he had nothing else to do.
It wasn't too far from home, and since the weather was nice today, Zhen Wanwan didn't take the carriage and chose to walk back.
Along the way, we encountered villagers working in the fields, and everyone greeted them very kindly.
Most villagers cultivate the land by hand, while those with more means use donkeys.
As for the horses and cattle, they were all conscripted by the government, and even the strong and healthy donkeys were taken away.
Most of those who remain have some health problems, or are too old to walk or even fall down.
Zhen Wanwan looked at the group of people who were drenched in sweat, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips, and she angrily pounded her head.
This inexplicable action startled the people around him.
"My wife, what's wrong?"
A-Yue quickly patted the startled baby's back and shifted his gaze to Zhen Wanwan with some confusion.
Zhen Wanwan smiled, revealing eight teeth, and her mood suddenly improved.
"Ah Yue, I've thought of a tool to increase grain production!"
They now grow high-yield coarse grains like sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, but Zhen Wanwan was a native of the South in her previous life.
I still prefer rice, and when it comes to military campaigns, the soldiers need to eat the best food so they have the strength.
She had been so focused on infrastructure that she neglected to do the most important thing right now.
She had complete trust in Zhuyuan's abilities and believed that the war would end as quickly as possible.
During this period, she must do a good job in logistics, not only ensuring sufficient food reserves, but also improving the lives of the people.
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Zhu Yuan only needs to conquer territory; she will take care of winning the hearts of the people!
Seeing the joy on Zhen Wanwan's face, A Yue knew that her wife already had a plan in mind.
She secretly hoped that her wife would always bring out the best of everything.
Since my wife says it can increase the grain supply, then it definitely can!
A-Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with blindly believing Zhen Wanwan.
Her wife is the most amazing person in the world! No one, regardless of gender, can compare to her.
With new plans in mind, Zhen Wanwan arrived home without realizing it.
Seeing Cui Jinyi rushing out, she smiled happily: "Jinyi! You're here! Are your grandparents settled in?"
Cui Jinyi nodded with a smile, then looked at the well-behaved children, Guabao and Tianbao, sitting obediently in the car with shining eyes.
"How adorable! These two must be our little masters!"
Faced with two adorable little dumplings, Cui Jinyi couldn't control herself and instantly turned into a strange aunt, looking like she was about to kidnap the children.
"Hehe, little baby~ So cute~ I'm your Uncle Jin~"
Hearing the sound of Cui Jinyi clenching her fists, A Yue unconsciously trembled, and her toes curled up uncontrollably.
She couldn't help but wonder, was this person still Cui Jinyi?
Zhen Wanwan smiled helplessly, and seeing her child's chubby body being mercilessly kneaded by Cui Jinyi, she quickly stopped her, saying, "Alright! Let's go inside and talk first!"
"Alright!!"
Before she could finish speaking, Cui Jinyi snatched the baby away.
Looking at her empty arms, Zhen Wanwan paused for a moment, then exchanged a deep gaze with Tianbao, who was sitting alone in the car.
No! What happened?
Don't people usually vie to hold Sweetie?
Under Tianbao's pitiful gaze, Zhen Wanwan awkwardly touched her nose, suppressed a slight discomfort, picked up Tianbao, and followed closely behind Cui Jinyi.
While she was at a loss, Cui Jinyi secretly rejoiced that she had acted quickly.
She really wanted to hold Tianbao, but the little one looked very similar to someone she had met when she was a child, which made her feel timid.
That's why they temporarily switched to Guaibao.
The baby is fair and tender, and looks more like Zhen Wanwan. She looks much more endearing.
Zhen Wanwan had no idea what she was thinking and just assumed that she preferred boys.
It's someone else's choice to like boys or girls, but in her family, her daughter is always the priority, and she would never let her precious daughter suffer any grievances.
Back inside, it must be said that Cui Jinyi knew how to please the children, and soon they were playing together.
She only had time to chat with Zhen Wanwan when the child was tired.
"My lady, when I came here I saw many villagers on the mountain. They seemed to be clearing land!"
Cui Jinyi was not a pampered young lady who was unaware of the hardships of life. When she was at home, her brother would occasionally take her to the countryside, so she knew a little about farming life.
They also knew that getting people to cultivate the land on their own was an extremely difficult task.
After all, the land reclaimed from the wilderness could not be used to grow crops, and taxes still had to be paid to the imperial court, making it a thankless task.
Therefore, many ordinary people would rather rent land from wealthy families, at least to avoid a complete loss of harvest and to reduce their tax burden.
Zhen Wanwan nodded and said calmly, "That's right. Now, all the mountainous land within a ten-mile radius of Guangling County has been bought up by the people!"
Of course, Zhen Wanwan alone has contracted more than a dozen hills around the county, and she doesn't use all of these hills for land reclamation.
She needs to prepare jobs for the people in advance. Once the northern barbarians outside the city are driven back, she believes the population here will surge.
When the refugees come this way, we can't just let them eat and drink for free.
She understood the principle that a little kindness is appreciated, but excessive kindness breeds resentment. Rather than letting them eat for free and cause trouble in the end, it was better to have them work in exchange for food from the beginning.
