Chapter 276 At the same time, Ruan Mian also brought a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds.
"As expected! Uncle, I told you that Junlan is my great god of wealth and the benefactor of my life."
Now he no longer had the anger he had just felt. His mind was filled with the desire to follow Junlan. From now on, no matter what Junlan said or asked him to do, he had to do it!
On the other hand, the people in Jinsha Village worked hard. Knowing that the official did not give them much time, the men in the village were eager to put in all their efforts and finish all the tasks in one go.
Ruan Mian did a good job in logistics support, which greatly improved efficiency.
Before long, sunrooms were erected one after another on the plantation grounds.
The fire channel under the soil has also been dug, and we are waiting to go to the military camp to collect more horse manure.
At the same time, Ruan Mian also brought a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds.
Most of them are seeds of crops that are in season or suitable for growing in the temperature of this sunroom.
When they successfully grew seedlings, everyone's expectant hearts seemed to see the light.
Everyone was overjoyed and told each other: "It's grown, it's grown!!"
"The sunroom really works! We've grown crops!" When the villagers heard this, they rushed to the sunroom. Looking at the seedlings in the glass house, they couldn't help but get excited.
"Madam Ruan, you are truly resourceful. You actually came up with this idea to keep us supplied with food even in this cold winter!"
"Yes, Madam Ruan, you are amazing!"
Ruan Mian smiled and said, "How could I have achieved this by myself? It's all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, tireless work, and fearless cold."
Mr. Xue was also very excited and couldn't help but express his thoughts.
"Everyone, as Madam Ruan has always said, no matter what predicament we face, as long as we work together and are of one mind, there will always be a way to survive! We can always make our lives better and better."
These inspiring words are really uplifting.
Everyone's efforts over the past few days have not been in vain. No matter who is involved, everyone feels a sense of accomplishment.
Everyone's food tasted noticeably better today.
In addition, Ruan Mian secretly used spiritual spring water to nourish these crops, so the growth cycle of these crops was shorter than normal.
Everyone thought it was the sunroom and the extra fertilizer she added that did the trick.
This news spread throughout Wuheng in no time. Everyone said that in this cold winter, when no one could grow crops, they in Jinsha Village came up with the idea of using sunrooms to maintain the temperature and grow crops.
Naturally, this news also reached the ears of Princess Jiacheng.
These days she has been searching for the whereabouts of Chen Bozong's disaster relief silver. So much silver disappeared from the warehouse just like that.
She couldn't believe it and was certain that it was transferred secretly by Chen Bochong.
But after so many days, there is still no harvest. However, I was surprised to hear that Ruan Mian had grown crops.
The maid looked at her and said, "Is this news true? In such cold weather, she can still grow so much food?"
She only heard that other people's food here was frozen to death, and some time ago, she spent a lot of money to buy food.
The maid nodded quickly and told her, "Indeed! Princess, you have a unique vision. You knew from the beginning that this Lady Ruan was no ordinary woman. She managed to grow something that no one else could. There must be something else going on!"
"How about... I think Madam Ruan can definitely figure out the whereabouts of the disaster relief money. Maybe when we asked her to help earlier, she just didn't give her all she had!"
The princess narrowed her eyes slightly and snorted, "She's just a fugitive woman. How dare she deceive me by relying on my good attitude towards her?"
"She has such extraordinary abilities. I don't believe she can't even calculate the whereabouts of a single silver coin!"
"I'll meet her in person today. No matter what, I have to invite this 'expert' over and find the silver first."
If so much silver is found, it will all belong to her.
When I return to my fiefdom, I won't have to rely on anyone and can do whatever I want! Isn't that wonderful?
If someone from above blames her, she won't have to worry about anything as the dead Chen Bochong will take the blame.
Thinking of this, she immediately asked the maid to prepare the carriage and rush to Jinsha Village. At the same time, Ruan Mian suddenly received news from birds and beasts.
They finally found out the whereabouts of their brother!
Just look at the direction indicated by the birds and beasts, which is the direction of Runing City.
My eldest aunt happened to be in the house at the moment. Seeing the gestures of the birds and beasts, she became curious and asked, "Has there been any news about Song'er?"
When she heard Ruan Mian say that it might be in Runing City, she was shocked!
"Why is he in Runing? Didn't he go to Xingjiazhou to look for you? Xingjiazhou and Runing City are in two completely different directions."
While he was puzzled, he remembered something: "But this is also good. Anyway, you are planning to go to Runing to deal with that guy surnamed Wen in the next few days! It will be convenient for us to find Song'er if he is there!"
"Mianmian, I have already arranged all the business in Guancheng. I will go to Runing with you in the next few days."
Ruan Mian didn't expect that the news about his brother would come so suddenly.
She didn't dare to delay for a moment and had to set off immediately.
But unexpectedly, at this time, the seventh-rank official came to Jinsha Village with a large group of people.
It seems that he also heard the news that the crops were grown.
Moreover, having learned from previous experiences, he was obviously well prepared this time. There were fifty or sixty officials alone, not to mention several other minor officials.
A group of them gathered outside the sunroom, staring in amazement at the glass greenhouses one after another.
The crops that thrived in the greenhouse also surprised everyone.
The seventh-rank official frowned tightly, his face full of disbelief.
He really didn't expect that she would actually get angry in such a cold weather! Isn't this like a slap in his face!
Just as he was thinking about it, Ruan Mian had already arrived in front of everyone and bowed politely: "Sir, you came at the right time."
"We have already grown the crops as we promised, so we hope that you will keep your promise and allow your men to contribute to our planting business."
The villagers breathed a sigh of relief and looked over with pride.
But the seventh-rank official refused to admit it at all and even made some high-sounding speeches.
"Madam Ruan, the people in your village are indeed quite capable."
"Since you can grow food, it is indeed a meritorious deed! However, you can grow food thanks to me giving you the opportunity. And I am naturally representing all Wu Heng people in giving you this opportunity."
"Since you can grow crops in this kind of weather, it means that God wants you to give back to the people of Wuheng."
"Look, the people of Wuheng are already facing a food shortage. As a member of this community, you have grown food. You shouldn't just stand by and watch. You should donate the food you've grown to the people of Wuheng out of a sense of great virtue."
