"How many wells does our village have?"
"There wasn't one before, but after the governor came and lived here, he dug a well right next to the kitchen so that we could cook."
"One bite?"
"right."
"How's the well water?"
"It's very sweet, like a sweet well."
After the snow, the ground is no longer frozen, so we still need to dig a few more wells here. One well is not enough.
"The livestock over there?"
"Yes, Master."
"When spring comes, we'll raise more livestock."
"yes!"
The head of the village was surprised. In fact, the master had raised a lot of livestock before. Later, when the wife of the prefect took over, she said that she didn't like the smell of livestock. If she raised too many, she was afraid that the main courtyard where she lived would be stink, so the number of livestock has always been fixed.
Don't raise a little more.
Raising livestock is so great. In addition to the production from the land, they can also get a share of the production from the livestock.
The village head felt that the change of master was very good, very good, and their lives in the next few years would probably be better than before.
After we finished shopping, the food was ready in the kitchen and there was another large table of people eating together. Mr. Qian, who loved the hustle and bustle, was in a very good mood.
"Youfu, you should also be busy with your own things after the New Year."
"That's right, Grandpa. I'm going to start buying people and reselling things back and forth between the prefecture and the county."
"You are lucky. Find strong men. It is best to find someone who can train them well. They will be safer on the road if they have some martial arts skills."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu. I'll take note of it."
Although the official road is relatively safe, the section from the prefectural capital to the county town is indeed not dangerous, and they have been there many times.
In fact, what Zhao Xiaoyu was thinking about was that after his business became bigger and more stable, he could go to the south to purchase goods and sell them in the north, or even bring goods from the north to sell in the south.
If Qian Youfu didn't plan to buy it, she would plan to enter this area.
It's easy to imagine that this business is definitely feasible, but the people who deliver the goods back and forth must be quite capable. With such a long distance and water transportation, accidents are bound to happen, so the people who go there must be quite capable.
That night, Xiao Lei began to pack up.
"I've been used to you being at home lately. Now that you have to go to the academy during the day, I'm still not used to it."
"Fortunately, there are many people at home, so you won't be too lonely. But you are pregnant now, so try to avoid going to crowded places."
"I know. Do you want to bring so many books with you?"
"Well, I moved them all back during the holidays, and now I'm moving there myself, but I still have one copy at home."
"Is there an exam this year?"
"Yeah, I might give it a try."
Xiao Lei stopped packing and sat on the bed. "The teacher asked me to go and feel it. I think he might be nervous too and wants someone to keep him company to calm down."
"Just go, you'll have a better idea of what's going on when you get there."
"I think so too. I'll just go and see for myself."
Thinking about Tongbi’s exam after the New Year.
"I guess my uncle's family will still go to the county town to take the exam next year."
"Yeah, Jiadong hasn't passed the exam yet. If he does, we can take it together next year."
Emma, the candidates for the scholar examination are coming to the provincial capital, and I will definitely look for them when they arrive.
Zhao Xiaoyu thought that she was not feeling well and wondered if she would have to help take care of the person again.
"What's wrong?"
"We don't want them to come to the capital to look for us."
"If there's no scholar exam this year, he definitely won't come. If he comes next year, I'm afraid he won't even know where we'll live, right?"
"You're right, but won't several families in the village take the Tongren exam this year?"
"Well, the children of the village chief and Uncle Shunzi will try it."
"Do you think they can?"
"It's about the same as my father's. It depends on luck. But there's no hope for me to become a scholar."
"Pfft! That's right, none of them can guess the answer. If they all fail, Dad will be so proud again."
"Dad was originally very talented, but he was enlightened late."
"Plus, he doesn't want to suffer."
