"Please take me in, ma'am!"
After saying this, they all kneel down!
Qiao Xin's face darkened, and she said sternly, "Don't kneel!"
Zhang Yun's knees could not bend all of a sudden. He was afraid that if he really angered Qiao Xin, he would not be able to complete the task assigned by the master! Qiao Xin looked at the dozen young men in front of him. Although they were dressed as refugees, their muscular bodies and vigorous spirits were obviously out of tune with the people around them. Was he blind or did he think others were blind?
This stall can't be continued. If I sit here any longer, who knows what weird people will pop up!
Qiao Xin tore off the notice, took the recruited people, and immediately left the city wall. On the way, she saw a vendor selling candied haws, bought all the goods, and carried them back.
Niu Dabao and the others clearly sensed that Qiao Xin was in a bad mood, and followed Qiao Xin all the way, not daring to say much. It was not until they finally got to the place that they felt they had survived. The old lady was scary when she was angry, but even when she wasn't angry, she was suffocating!
"Mom. Why did you come back just now? Take someone else with you next time you go out!" It was Qiao Yunqing who opened the door. He had just seen off Fan Jihuai and Rongguang's family, and only then did he know what Qiao Xin had done outside!
The old lady is prone to trouble when she goes out, so she really can't rest assured if she doesn't bring a few more people with her! Looking at the group of people behind her, he can't expect to have a rest today.
Qiao Xin handed the candied haws handle to Mo Jiaquan and asked him to take the children to the backyard to settle down first. There were so many strangers in the yard all of a sudden, so it was better for the children to stay at home.
In the main hall, Qiao Xin said to Qiao Yunqing beside him: "Those refugees in the yard are all going to be taken to Laohu Town to open up wasteland. I won't keep anyone here for you for now. As for the people outside the door, they were sent here by Heng Wen. It's up to you whether to leave or stay."
Except for Nanny Qin and Doctor Mo, everyone else will stay in the city for the time being."
Qiao Yunqing agreed and asked, "The children are not going back either?"
"No, I will try to arrange them all in the same school, and have the family pick them up for the time being. I will send you a few trained servants in a few days. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and I will let your wife stay to help you with daily affairs.
The young lady will be supervised by Nanny Qin for the time being. If you find a school that is willing to accept girls, it won't be too late to send them to school. If that doesn't work, we can hire a few more Nannies to teach them. A girl's education is very important. She must read and learn poetry."
Qiao Yunqing glanced at Qiao Xin, feeling mixed emotions. This was the biggest difference between that woman and the man in front of him! Everything she did seemed casual, but in fact, every step she took was for their future return home, and she would not be left behind. She did not leave any of the girls in the family behind.
As for his adoptive mother in his previous life, apart from paying attention to how the three brothers could seize the family power, she completely ignored everyone else. Even if they went back and wanted to make up for the lack of education for their children and help their daughters-in-law gain a foothold in the family, they were still completely ignored and even obstructed by her. She was obviously a hunter's daughter, and once she gained power, she actually despised her daughter-in-law who was a peasant girl. It was really ridiculous!
.......
"Second brother, second brother, why are you in a daze? Are you not feeling well?" Qiao Yunqing was called back to his senses by Qiao Xin. When he looked up, he saw the worried eyes of everyone in the room.
He calmed down and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something else. Please continue with the case!"
"I'm saying that we should let my sister-in-law stay and help take care of the kids, and clean up the shop and the yard! We can also think about doing some small business, it would be good to have more money to earn."
"What shop and yard?" After a moment of confusion, Qiao Yunqing realized that he could no longer understand.
"Oh, I was lucky to pick it up today!" Qiao Xin told the truth.
Everyone present was speechless. Why didn't they have such good luck to pick one up from there?
Qiao Yunqing narrowed her eyes and said, "Lord Fan brought people here to apologize this morning. What happened?"
"Ah, what's the matter? It's just like that. I was recruiting someone, and Rong Guang, that little bully, came to mess up the stall, and I dealt with him! Oh, you can ask Zhang Yun outside the courtyard gate about the rest. I've been running all day and my waist and legs are sore. Can you let me take a break first?"
Qiao Xin raised her foot and wanted to slip away. She really didn't like listening to the second brother's nagging.
Qiao Yunqing sighed. His mother probably didn't hear him. Her tone softened. "Mother, my eldest brother and third brother are not at home. Can you take it easy and stop worrying your son?"
"Okay, okay, I get it. Isn't it too urgent? I promise to avoid trouble next time I go out! Go and deal with those people outside quickly, and Nanny Qin, you also go and check on the Second Master."
"Yes!" Nanny Qin nodded in agreement.
After sending everyone away, Qiao Xin returned to the room prepared by her daughter-in-law. She saw the table in the room was full of gifts. In addition to the 100 taels of compensation, a few boxes of cakes, and even four rolls of fine cotton cloth and two rolls of silk.
This was a generous move, and it was a bit sincere! Especially cotton cloth was more precious than silk. There was cotton cloth in the world, but it was only planted on a small scale, with low yields, and the cotton cloth products were rough. Rich families disliked it for not being smooth enough, and small families thought it was too expensive to use. Even the court and the people did not take it seriously.
Qiao Xin touched her chin and thought, this is really a brand new track. It is obviously unrealistic for her to plant all the new land with crops. Even the most common kind of seeds she has have a much higher yield than the good varieties here. How should she explain this abnormal phenomenon then?
It would be a good choice to use all of it to plant cotton and soybeans now!
As for the high-quality fields provided by the constant temperature, planting all of them with rice would be a good choice. It doesn't matter how good the seeds are, the system's No. 1 ordinary seeds can produce more than 300 kilograms per mu compared to the current seeds.
For this kind of land, having good seeds and good farmland is just the foundation. If the water conservancy infrastructure cannot keep up and irrigation and discharge cannot be carried out in time, it will also cause a reduction in production.
Therefore, when building the canal, we also have to consider things like waterwheels and windmills. When it comes to harvest time, blowers, semi-automatic harvesters, water mills, etc. are all indispensable!
In this case, the salary we get doesn’t seem to be enough. What’s more important is that the money we have doesn’t seem to be enough?
Should we go and dig out some more bandit dens? The bandits near Weizhou Prefecture seem to have been dealt with by the eldest and third brothers, so it seems that it is better to go to other prefectures to fight bandits.
Bandit: ....., please let us go, we didn’t provoke you!
But this thought disappeared in an instant when Qiao Yunqing handed her one hundred taels of silver?
