Chapter 361 Auspicious Snow Heralds a Good Harvest
Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo's dazed expression and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"If you are tired, we will go back first."
When Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo, there was a look of tenderness and care in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiluo came back to her senses and said with a smile: "You treat me like a child!"
"I'm not that fragile yet."
"I just suddenly thought of my mother and sister!"
"I don't know how they are doing in Donghe Village."
"And my mother, brothers and sisters."
"It should be winter and snowing there now!"
"The village must be very lively."
The north is very safe now, as it is under the control of Crown Prince Yun Luoxiao.
Yun Luoxiao changed many government decrees, reduced taxes, encouraged farming and sericulture, and encouraged land reclamation.
When assigning local officials, they are subject to layer-by-layer review and inspection, and only after confirmation that there are no problems will they be assigned so that they can truly serve the people.
It also controls prices in the market.
Situations like the one that occurred in the town’s grain store before, where people were oppressed and prices were deliberately monopolized, are absolutely not allowed.
Once discovered, it will be dealt with seriously.
He also sent special people to various towns and villages to explain the situation.
Let farmers understand this matter, let them know how to protect their rights and interests, etc.
There are many more.
There are also many markets.
Some city gates require people to pay some copper coins before letting them pass, but now guards are strictly prohibited from abusing their power and bending the law.
Yun Luoxiao also said that he would find ways to open up border trade and drive economic development.
So the appearance of the village should be different now.
Cui Hejin looked towards the north and whispered, "It should be snowing."
"At this time of year in previous years, there would be a thick layer of snow."
"When it snows, it's freezing cold and everyone stays at home."
"Although it's cold, villagers like snow in winter. Heavy snow means a good harvest next year. Auspicious snow means a good harvest."
"But if it snows heavily, the villagers will get up early the next morning to sweep the snow."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. "It would be great if everyone could just stay home. Why do we have to come out and sweep the snow?"
Cui Hejin laughed dumbly, "You're used to it. Even if no one goes out, everyone is used to sweeping the snow at the door in the yard. But after a while, a thin layer of snow will fall."
"If it snows any harder, the snow will be very thick."
"Because no matter what, clearing a path will make it much more convenient for people to go out and walk."
"If someone doesn't sweep the snow, the villagers might see it and say behind their back that they are lazy."
“Villagers care most about what others think.”
After listening to this, Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and felt that it was true.
…
Just as Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin guessed.
It actually snowed heavily in Donghe Village in the afternoon.
Old Madam Cui and Cui Qingci were both busy running the shop in the town.
Cui Qingci was looking after the store in the front and greeting customers, while Old Madam Cui was making bread and pastries in the kitchen at the back.
Neither of them expected that business would be so good since the store opened.
Especially now that we have entered the twelfth lunar month, every household is busy preparing for the New Year and are willing to buy more things.
"Miss Cui, do you still have that lip balm in your store?"
Cui Qingci explained, "Also, these are new products that have just arrived. They are in short supply recently. If you come later, they might be gone."
As she spoke, Cui Qingci took out the lip balm.
There are only six bottles, and the color of each bottle is slightly different.
The exquisitely dressed young woman looked at the new lipsticks, picked a color, and thought another color looked good too.
I want to buy all of them.
