Kang Yueran walked up to Gai Dayong and asked, "Gai Lizheng, where can I buy green bricks around here?" It was too far to transport bricks from Kaoshan Village to here, so it would be better to buy them directly from the surrounding area.
"It's in town. If Mr. Kang wants to buy some, you can ask my son to take you there."
Kang Yueran waved Xiangdong over and said to Gai Dayong, "Please ask Gail Zheng to take Xiangdong with you."
She gave Xiangdong a gold cake and said, "If the price is right, place the order directly. If there are other materials needed for building the house, place the order as well and have them delivered quickly."
Xiangdong took the golden cake and left with Gary Zheng's son.
Kang Yueran called Xiangxi over again and handed him the blueprint drawn by Mao Qiang. "Assign one hundred people to build eight houses according to the markings on the blueprint."
Xiangxi took the blueprint and said, "We'll start construction as soon as the stone arrives. We won't delay anything."
It took a long time to register the people from the four villages. Kang Yueran called Duan Fei and five others aside and gave them some instructions.
"I'm going back first. You guys can stay at an inn in town tonight, and rent a yard in town tomorrow.
Divide all the people coming to work into six groups. You and Xiangdong will each lead one group. After they have registered, put them to work immediately. Find a few women to make some porridge for them every day..."
After finishing his instructions, Kang Yueran took out a silver note and gave it to Duan Fei. "You guys use it first, I'll give it to you later."
Kang Yueran has always been very generous to his employees as long as they don't have any bad intentions or are lazy.
Duan Fei took the banknote and said, "Don't worry, young lady. We will cooperate with Manager An." An Yuan was the chief manager.
"If you have anything to discuss, let's discuss it. If you really can't make up your mind, come to me."
These people and the three people who went to the cotton field were all servants who had signed death contracts with Kang Yueran. She wanted these people to gain more practical experience.
So in the following days she was only responsible for paying the money. Even when she was unemployed at home, she forced herself not to look at the progress of both sides and only asked a few questions occasionally.
There were no stupid people among those picked out by Wang Hai and Mao Qiang. These people also wanted to show their learning results in front of Kang Yueran, so they were very cautious in everything. When they were undecided, they would first ask people who knew the matter for advice, and then sit together to discuss in the evening.
Hard work pays off, and Kang Yueran didn't have to worry at all during the entire land reclamation process.
Kang Yueran didn't worry about anything, but she actually suffered three times.
The wasteland was already barren, and had also been damaged by floods. Kang Yueran bought a liquid fertilizer tanker in the mall, and sprayed pesticides on more than 3,000 acres of land while it was dark.
After plowing the land for the first time, spray it with microbial agents to eliminate various pathogens in the soil.
After the second plowing, the cotton fields are sprayed with compound fertilizer; the tea gardens are sprayed with superphosphate.
After plowing for the second time, spray compound fertilizer collectively again.
Fortunately, modern technology has made it possible for many fertilizers to dissolve in water. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain the sudden appearance of so many granular fertilizers on the land.
No fertilizer was found, but the tanker left tracks after passing by, which made everyone speculate for a long time.
After the wasteland is opened up, it needs to be cultivated. Kang Yueran bought cotton seeds and tea seedlings in batches from the space mall.
Every time she made a purchase, she would put the goods in the empty house in Qingping Mountain. Hu Xiaocheng would go to pick up the goods and then ask someone to deliver them to two pieces of wasteland.
Kang Yueran lives a leisurely life, but the Duke Lu’s Mansion in the capital is extremely bustling.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Zhou Yang, the Minister of Punishment, Gao Qi's crime of murdering the prefect of Xuzhou was confirmed.
However, with the strong support of Duke Lu and Gao Qi's father-in-law, Gao Qi was sentenced to confiscation of his property and exile to the southwest.
Everyone in the Gao family was implicated. Although they were not exiled, they were all demoted.
The Gao family's ancestral home was sealed off, and Gao Qi's wife moved with her children to the new house her father bought for her. The other members of the Gao family were also scattered everywhere.
The Gao family, once so powerful, is now completely finished.
The Gao family is finished, and the spring of Lu Guogong's concubine Liu Yi Niang has come.
On this day, she wore a gorgeous new dress and went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to Lady Gao, the wife of Duke Lu.
Without support, Gao Shi could no longer stand up straight in Duke Lu's mansion. "Madam Liu, I told you not to come and pay your respects again. What are you doing here again?"
"Of course I remember Madam's instructions, but His Majesty's spring hunt is imminent, and Guochao will be accompanying him. I came here today to ask Madam if the Crown Prince needs any tiger skins. If so, I'll ask Guochao to help him hunt them."
Gao slammed her palm on the table, "No need for you two to pretend to be kind, mother and son, get out!"
Aunt Liu's smile did not fade. "Pretending to be kind is still kind. Madam, you should cherish it. If no one even gives you fake kindness, then you are truly pitiful."
"Get out! Get out!" Gao was so angry that she picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it on Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu groaned, and finally a look of anger appeared on her face. "Madam, you are already strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so stop putting on airs."
She wiped the tea stains off her clothes with a handkerchief and said sarcastically, "Madam, you should drink a few more cups of tea while you still have it. In a few days, I'm afraid you'll only be able to drink cold water."
Gao was so angry that her whole body trembled. Her personal nanny said sternly, "Liu, no matter how proud you are, you are still a concubine. A first-rank duke's mansion cannot possibly make a concubine his wife. You will only be a concubine until you die, and your sons and daughters will be illegitimate children until they die!"
Not being able to be promoted to the position of legitimate wife had always been Madam Liu's greatest pain. "So what if I'm a bastard? A bastard is better than a cripple. A cripple can only lie in bed until death, but a bastard can inherit the title."
The consequences of exposing each other's scars are serious. Gao stepped forward and slapped Concubine Liu in the face, "Want to inherit the title? Don't even think about it!"
Aunt Liu covered her face with a triumphant smile, threw away her handkerchief, and walked out crying, "Master, help me, Madam is going to kill me, Master..."
