Fu Mansion, Taoranting.
Fu Xiaoguan put aside his guess about the eldest princess and was now holding a letter and looking at it carefully.
This first letter came from the western mountains of Linjiang and was written by Chunxiu, a girl.
He looked at the beautiful handwriting on the paper and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He had been in this world for two years and had improved a lot in everything, but his handwriting was still not up to par.
"Young Masters and Young Madams, hello!
Everything is in order in Xishan, please don't worry.
According to Madam Dong's wishes, Fu Sandai's seeds were sold to Mr. Yan, the magistrate of Yao County, at a price of two hundred coins per catty. I went to see it and saw that a total of about five thousand acres of paddy fields were planted and the seeds were growing well.
Last year, Xishan Farmland harvested a total of 36,000 kilograms of Fu Sandai seeds. According to the young master's instructions, the remaining 20,000 kilograms were transported to Wofengyuan by Xishan Express in February. Wang Er brought 30 villagers with him. Now Wang Er has received a reply, and the 20,000 kilograms of rice seeds have been planted in Wofengyuan.
At the end of last year, there was a bumper sweet potato harvest, yielding over 4,600 kilograms from over ten mu of land. As instructed by the young master, over 600 kilograms remained planted in Xishan, while the remaining 4,000 kilograms were sent to Pingling and Quyi counties, with Wang Qiang leading a group of more than ten villagers. A reply came back saying that each county had received 2,000 kilograms. They had already instructed the villagers in seedling cultivation techniques, and presumably the cuttings had been completed by now.
Wang Qiang said that the soil in those two places was poor, but the amount of sweet potatoes was extremely large. According to the germination rate of sweet potatoes, about 50 kilograms of sweet potato seeds were needed for one acre of land, and 4,000 kilograms could only be used to plant 80 acres of land. Therefore, all the land planted this year was official land. We have to wait until this year's harvest before promoting it next year. It will take about two years to cover all the land in Pingling Quyi.
The price of the sweet potatoes is thirty cents per catty as set by the young master. I think it is too cheap. I have tasted it and it is delicious, so I have raised the price to fifty cents per catty privately. Please be informed, young masters and mistresses.
The Yao County Shipyard has now been completed. Lord Yan said that 120 boatmen have arrived, but he doesn't know what kind of ship the young master wants to build. I guess Lord Yan will write to the young master, because he said that the young master attaches great importance to this matter. Please write back to Lord Yan as soon as you see the letter, he seems really anxious.
Wang Qiang also grafted a peach and pear tree in his backyard—he said it was a method the young master had suggested, but it didn't work; the peach branch withered. He then found a branch from a wild apple tree in Fenglin Mountain, and it worked. The apple branch already had buds, which was quite miraculous. I think it will produce pears, and Wang Qiang thinks it will be a different kind of apple. I'm very excited.
Xishan College now has a total of 1,346 students. Under the rigorous academic teaching of President Qin, the school has a strong academic atmosphere and the sound of reading is loud. It has a reputation that is comparable to Linjiang Academy.
There are roaring sounds in the Xishan Research Institute all day long. I don’t understand it. I just follow what the young master said and provide them with whatever they need. I only heard that they have developed a new cannon with better range and accuracy than the current red cannon.
By the way, Qin Chengye returned to Xishan on the first day of April, and then stayed in the research institute without going out. It is said that it was a critical moment when the second-generation flintlock rifle was being researched.
General Bai Yulian formed a Xishan Cavalry Guard with 800 men, all of whom were equipped with flintlock rifles, saying that they were needed to protect the safety of the entire Xiacun.
Those people were eliminated during training. General Bai said that they were actually better than the soldiers of the border army.
Now the West Mountain is covered with flowers, which is very beautiful. If the young masters and young ladies have time, please come back and have a look.
In addition, the master has been missing for a long time, and the ladies in Linjiang Mansion are quite anxious. It would be better if the young master could send some people to find the master.
Your servant Xiu'er, on the night of the seventeenth day of the fourth month of the tenth year of the Xuan calendar."
Fu Xiaoguan put down the letter and smiled. It seemed that the fat man had not told his family about becoming emperor.
Come to think of it, the fat man is now the emperor of Wu Dynasty under the name of Wu Dalang. Those five women were originally concubines that Emperor Xuan ordered him to take in. It is not appropriate for them to go to Wu Dynasty.
It's hard for those mothers! It's hard for now, and it will be sweet later.
He took a deep breath. Xishan was becoming more beautiful. It was the first footprint he left in this world and it was of great significance.
He also wanted to go back to Xishan to have a look.
In the end, I can only sigh.
This may be what it means when you enter the world, you have no choice.
"Why are you suddenly so emotional?"
Dong Shulan sat opposite Fu Xiaoguan with a bowl of chicken soup and just heard his sigh.
Fu Xiaoguan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Xiu'er's letter was all about things in Xishan. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. I just miss you a lot."
Dong Shulan pushed the chicken soup over and chuckled, "That's right. We first met in Xishan. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, we finally achieved our goal... The temperature is just right, try it... Husband."
"Um."
"I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"Back in Linjiang, I sent my men to beat you up, nearly killing you. Logically... you should hate me, but when I first saw you in Xishan, I remember you sitting in that pavilion, but there was no hatred on your face. Why is that?"
Fu Xiaoguan grinned and thought to himself that if he hadn't been beaten, he wouldn't be here.
Many operas say that since one has used someone else's body, one should avenge and kill that person in the previous life. In Fu Xiaoguan's opinion, this is not absurd, but the environment is different.
It is true that he inherited this body, but he has an independent soul.
At the time, Dong Shulan meant to teach him a lesson, but her men were a little too heavy-handed and ended up beating the small landlord to death. If Dong Shulan were to teach him a lesson again later, his approach would obviously be different from now.
After that incident, Dong Shulan never bothered him again and even made a special trip to apologize, and the matter was over. The souls of those who died unjustly have long since dissipated, but those who survived need to live a wonderful life.
"You know what's the best way to express hatred to a woman?"
Dong Shulan was stunned and shook her head.
Fu Xiaoguan chuckled and said, "Just let her give birth to your children! Lots and lots of children!"
Dong Shulan immediately rolled her eyes at him, "So this is how you hate me?"
Fu Xiaoguan smiled obscenely again and whispered, "No, I will torture you in bed for the rest of my life!"
Dong Shulan's face flushed instantly. She glared at Fu Xiaoguan, lowered her head and whispered, "You're so frivolous. You're always thinking about that... Drink up the chicken soup!"
