Manager Zhou took a sip of tea, glanced at Yu Fuling, and continued, "After handing over the account books, Zhao Yu has been looking after the shop these days. He is a down-to-earth person and works seriously, so there has never been any trouble."
Yu Fuling couldn't help feeling a little anxious when she heard Manager Zhou praising Zhao Yu all the time. She was also afraid that it was because of her presence that Manager Zhou was too embarrassed to say anything else.
She bit her lip, looking a little embarrassed, and asked, "Zhao Yu...he has never been to school and can't read, how can he do the accounts?"
Manager Zhou looked at Yu Fuling and said with a smile, "I think Zhao Yu never told Miss Yu that he attended a private school for a few years when he was young. Although he knows a few words, he can still read. It's just that his handwriting is not good. He needs to practice more in the future."
Yu Fuling was stunned for a moment, "I didn't know he could read."
It was a blind marriage, and they didn't have much contact. It was normal that Yu Fuling didn't know Zhao Yu could read. Yu Jiao smiled and said, "In the future, let your brother-in-law write you a few more letters. This will deepen your understanding and train his writing skills."
In front of Manager Zhou, Yu Fuling smiled awkwardly.
Late at night, Manager Zhou returned to his room. Without undressing to rest, he quickly wrote a letter. He opened the window and whistled softly.
Soon, a dark shadow appeared outside the window. Manager Zhou handed the sealed letter out the window and whispered, "Send it to the boss in the capital."
The black shadow took the letter and soon disappeared. The shadows of the trees in the courtyard were swaying and the branches were shaking gently, as if nothing had happened at all. Manager Zhou just opened the window to get some fresh air.
On the second day, Manager Zhou and Yu Zhizhou took a few men and set off for Xuanzhou and Jiangnan, leaving Zhixun County.
Since she had bought so many fields, she would have to settle down in Xixun County in the future. Yu Jiao asked someone to find the man from whom she had rented the house and shop before, and spent money to buy out the house and shop. Seeing her generosity, the man from the mansion diligently went to the government to get the house and land deeds completed, and delivered them to Yu Jiao on the same day.
Most of the houses in Baiyi Village and several other villages had been rebuilt, freeing up a lot of manpower. The fields were still very wet and sticky, so Yu Jiao told her servants to go down and tell the idle people to go to the fields to prepare the land and turn the soil over to dry it for a few days.
He also sent people to find the night incense sellers in the city and town, and asked them to deliver the night incense to the fields in the countryside every day.
Someone offered money to buy night incense. It sounded strange, but for the night incense sellers, it was a godsend. Several old men who sold night incense happily agreed to do it.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
A few days later, Chen Yu brought people to transport radish seeds. The people he sent to Chuzhou went to several places and bought enough radish seeds for more than 500 acres of land.
Knowing that Yujiao was in a hurry to sow the seeds, she did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as the person who bought the radish seeds returned to Changkui, he personally brought people to deliver them.
With the radish seeds, Yu Jiao was no longer idle for a moment and ran to the fields every day. Because it was planted on a large scale, Yu Jiao did not choose the seedling raising method, but sowed the seeds directly.
Sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied for sowing. The people who have been serving the farmers are not afraid of dirt or tiredness. After irrigating the soil with the natural fertilizer sent by Ye Xianglang, they turned the fields over again. After drying them for two or three days, they followed Yu Jiao's instructions and spread the radish seeds along the ridges. They dug a small shallow ditch on each ridge, planted rapeseed on the slope of the ditch, and covered it with a thin layer of soil.
In the fields, there are busy figures everywhere. Returning to the fields makes the villagers, who make a living by farming, feel at ease. No one feels tired and they are all full of energy.
