Chapter 280 Go to the School
After Fu Qiuhua and his companions left, the news that high-yield grain varieties had appeared in Yong'an Village and had been successfully trial-planted, with the yield per mu reaching 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms, spread like wildfire throughout Datong County. Not only were the common people excited, but the wealthy landlords were also extremely jealous.
A few days later, the fertile land and composting methods compiled by the government were distributed to each village one by one. Under the leadership of the head of the village and the village chiefs, everyone started to work enthusiastically.
The lower-class people have always been hardworking and simple. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will work hard.
It was not until the last day of September that all the sorghum in the field was harvested. Because Shen Xiangwan used high-quality and high-yield seeds, and the field was fertilized in the middle, the sorghum yield per mu reached 800 kilograms. Although it cannot be compared with potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, it is still quite amazing.
After the land was fertilized and plowed, Shen Xiangwan had people rush to plant another season of cabbage. This time, she used an early-maturing variety that can be grown all year round and can be harvested in two months at most.
On the other hand, Wei Chengyi and his team were recruiting more and more smoothly. In early October, there was a sudden surge in recruitment, and they recruited tens of thousands of people in just a few days. Moreover, the enthusiasm of the people to join the army was increasing. It should not be difficult to recruit 100,000 people. However, they were still very short of military supplies.
Fortunately, Wei Chengyi was inspired by Shen Xiangwan's decision to send water-based psychics to various counties to help find water sources. He summoned gold-based psychics and asked them to search for various metal mines in Chenzhou. The results were very gratifying.
Zhao Dashan helped to look after the affairs in the fields, and several workshops were running in an orderly manner. The two shops were handed over to Cheng Yusheng and Yue Ruyan, and Yuan Xiu and Mu Yunran were also busy with other matters. Shen Xiangwan was free again and basically slept until noon every day. During this period, she received a reply from Chu Liang, who still reminded her to take care of herself. Shen Xiangwan specially recruited a guard and asked him to take the spiritual well water and primary genetic medicine to the East Territory to help Chu Liang and Wei Chengyi's senior sister Liang Yuting awaken their special powers.
"Let's go to the school."
That day, as usual, after checking the pulse of her master's wife and confirming that there was no problem, Shen Xiangwan stood up and stretched. In a blink of an eye, the school had been open for more than two months, and it was time for her to check the learning results of the boys and girls she had bought.
"Why go to school?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. If others didn't know, didn't they? Ever since she handed over the school's affairs to Wei Jingyi and the others, she hadn't asked about it again. If she hadn't been constantly picking up and dropping off the children, she would probably have forgotten that she even had a school in the village.
"Just take a look."
With a mysterious smile, Chen Xiangwan walked outside while speaking, which made Yun Mengyi and others shake their heads.
"lady."
As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, Yuan Ying followed her immediately. As for Yuan Yue, Shen Xiangwan recently asked her to be responsible for coordinating matters at the kiln factory, so she went out early this morning.
"Second sister-in-law."
Seeing her from afar, the female members of the Yan family who were about to go to the branch family took the initiative to greet her. The two families had a good relationship, and they also had a good relationship with Shen Xiangwan, but not as familiar with her as Mu Yunran.
"Where are you going?"
Shen Xiangwan stopped and looked at them with a smile on her face. Although the women of the Yan family could not help them in any way, they never caused trouble and were all well-behaved. They would accompany Zhao Yuping and Yun Mengyi when they had nothing to do. She still had a good impression of them.
"Go find Aunt Wan and the others. We've been making a few handbags specifically for young girls based on the backpack designs you drew for the children. We tried selling them at an embroidery shop in the county town, and the prices were pretty good. We decided to get together and make more, which will also help supplement the family income."
Although the men in the family all have things to do and they are basically not short of money, no one would complain that they have too much money. Moreover, for noble ladies like them who were born in big families, the only thing they can show off after falling into this situation is needlework. They feel extremely satisfied to be able to make some money from it.
"That's great! Women's money is much easier to earn than men's. I'll draw you some more women's bag designs someday."
Shen Xiangwan didn't expect them to be so flexible. She couldn't help but admire them. Facts have proved that women in any era should not be underestimated. If the environment hadn't constrained them, many women would not have lost to men.
"That's great, now we're here, where are you going?"
Wei Jingyi's house was soon reached, and the women of the Yan family stopped and asked in confusion.
"Let's go to the school. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving first."
Shen Xiangwan responded casually, nodded to the others, and then left with Yuanying. The women of the Yan family stood there and watched them enter the school and turn around. Shen Xiangwan might not know that they all admired her very much. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have the courage to take the bags they made to the county town to sell.
"When people are born, their nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..."
"The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless..."
The school was at the end of the village, not far from Wei Jingyi and his family's house. Before Shen Xiangwan and the others entered, they heard the sound of reading coming from inside. According to her requirements, Wei Jingyi and his family taught the young boys and girls the Thousand Character Classic, and the children learned the Three Character Classic. After more than two months of study, they could all recite it fluently.
"Second sister-in-law."
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing the children's studies, the school gate was closed before the end of the school day. The person who came to open the door was a young man from the branch family. He looked at her and immediately called out respectfully. Shen Xiangwan nodded and walked in with Yuanying. The door of each classroom was open, and they could roughly see the situation of the children just by raising their eyes.
Shen Xiangwan did not disturb Wei Jingyi and the others for the time being. She looked outside each classroom one by one. The children were all holding their books obediently, shaking their little heads while reading, which looked very cute. But when she saw those boys and girls, the smile on her face faded a little. Many of them were reading the Book of Heaven, and their eyes were not looking at the books at all.
It seems that a comfortable life can really make people degenerate easily, and some people seem to have forgotten their identity.
"Husband, Madam!"
The boys and girls learned differently from the other children, so they were gathered in one classroom. Shen Xiangwan took Yuan Ying in directly. The first person to discover them was a boy who was reading the Book of Heaven. With his exclamation, everyone stopped and stood up to salute her. Those who had not taken it seriously before were a little nervous at this time. They did not expect that she would appear suddenly.
