Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 253 Planting
After getting busy with Chu Mufeng and Lin Qiushui's marriage, Liu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia's life finally calmed down and got back on track.

On weekdays, Mu Rongya and Lin Qiushui would often come to visit and accompany Jiang Zhixia.

When no one came to accompany him, Jiang Zhixia put all his energy on his property.

Han Wenxuan's shop has an excellent reputation among literati.However, the profit is indeed meager.Fortunately, however, it is not a negative number.

The production of peppers, because of this hot spring village, is also increasing.

Jiang Zhixia began to think about how to arrange the pepper products --- the peppers are always left like this, but it is a waste.

However, before she could think carefully about the hot pepper, there was good news——after more than six months, the people who went to Yazhou to buy kapok flowers were less than a hundred miles away from the capital.

Because the buyers were not familiar with the roads when they went, and the road conditions were bad, and the weather became cold and rainy, some of their people fell ill and stayed for a while, so they stumbled for a long time before arriving.

Fortunately, in Yazhou, there are many families with kapok flowers.

Therefore, the people who bought kapok not only bought more than a dozen experts in kapok planting and weaving, but also bought kapok seeds and kapok flowers with all the remaining bank notes after saving the travel expenses.

After Jiang Zhixia heard the news, she first asked the servants to inform them to go to her farm—she had already discussed with Liu Tiankuo that this batch of kapok flowers would be planted in her field first.

Therefore, she has asked Xing Zhuangtou to discuss with the tenants that she will take back part of the field and use it exclusively for planting kapok flowers.

Just taking this opportunity, she lowered the land rent a little.

Before, she wanted to continue to downgrade.However, because the land rents in the surrounding villages are all collected in this way, if she only charges low, it is tantamount to disrupting the market.It will cause a backlash from others.

Therefore, she could only give up.

This time, because she breached the contract, it was just an excuse for her to downgrade - anyway, she is not short of money.

Then, she asked the servants to prepare things, and she was going to live in the farm for a while, and went to meet the fully loaded carriage in person.

It just so happened that because of Liu Tiankuo's affairs, she didn't have time to go to the hot springs all winter.Now that it's spring, she has time to go.

On the second day, after Liu Tiankuo went out to work in the palace, she asked the stable to prepare the horses.She took Dongli and Ruolan, two guard maids, and a team of guards out of the city, and went to Zhuangzi to wait.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Zhixia saw a few thin and dark people, led by Song He, come to visit the mistress.

"You have worked hard." Jiang Zhixia can only say so, "When the uncle comes back, I will naturally reward you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask the uncle."

It took more than half a year for this business trip, and it tortured people enough.

Although those servants were dark and thin, their eyes were shining.

They looked at the man in the lead, and the man hurriedly replied, "I dare not say it's hard work. When I was marching before, it was much harder than this."

Of course it was much harder.Now, although the journey is hard, at least eat well, drink well, and sleep well.

When marching, eating, drinking and sleeping are all according to God's will.

Jiang Zhixia praised them a few words, and then asked them about their itinerary with great interest.

The leader was also sensible, seeing that his mistress seemed to pay more attention to the customs and customs along the way, so he talked in detail about the different customs and habits of the places he passed.

One afternoon, just in Jiang Zhixia's 'is this so? ''Yeah? ''right. ''I have heard'. . . .Waiting for the exclamation spent.

In the end, Jiang Zhixia couldn't get enough of what the servants said.

However, when Jiang Zhixia came to his senses, he quickly apologized and asked them to go to rest-after all, they were exhausted, and he was still dragging them to talk non-stop.

As for the reward, naturally Liu Tiankuo was in charge.

After the servant left, Jiang Zhixia said to the people around him with a sense of loss: "The world is so big, there are so many wonders. When can I go out for a walk? I have gradually forgotten my previous dream..."

Jiang Zhixia was indeed rather melancholy.

After all, traveling was in her plan, but as a result, it was slowly obliterated by life now.

Seeing the lost Jiang Zhixia, Ruolan pursed her lips secretly.

Jiang Zhixia reluctantly put away his disappointment, walked to the yard, and saw that the unloaded carriage was covered with white cotton flowers, his eyes lit up again.

Even if planting kapok flowers is not successful this year, she will be enough.

Jiang Zhixia finished watching the kapok flowers, then went to see the kapok seeds, and met the servants who bought them.

The servant spoke Yazhou dialect, which Jiang Zhixia couldn't understand either.Fortunately, the person who bought it bought a servant who can speak official language and has the right to translate it.

After Liu Tiankuo was on duty, he rushed to the Zhuangzi at full speed, and the one he saw was the excited Jiang Zhixia.

"The man from Yazhou said that the seeds can be sown in March. At that time, the kapok seeds must be turned in the sun for three to five days. The field must be fertilized, plowed and plowed to make a long, and the seeds will be sown at that time. Timely watering and topping are required. It can be harvested in July and August. After harvesting, the cotton can be plucked. The cotton we bought is already plucked, and it can be directly harvested now. used."

Jiang Zhixia said with bright eyes.

"Hearing what you said, you're already going to plant the land. Why don't you go plant it yourself?"

Liu Tiankuo joked while changing his clothes.

"It's not like I haven't planted land before." Jiang Zhixia said angrily.

But after finishing speaking, thinking that after crossing over, it is true that there is very little farming, and the confidence is a little lacking.

However, she turned her head and said without losing momentum: "I planted the peppers that day."

Liu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia's changing expression with a smile, and felt very relieved——Zhixia was really happy.

"Okay, okay. My wife is omnipotent. Then, omnipotent lady, can I let my husband have dinner now?"

Liu Tiankuo put his head on Jiang Zhixia's head and said jokingly.

Jiang Zhixia gave him a gouged look, and then laughed again.

Then the two sat around the table and had a happy dinner.

After eating dinner, Liu Tiankuo received Ruolan's report while Jiang Zhixia was washing up.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he fell into deep thought.

At the end of February, Jiang Zhixia and Liu Tiankuo accompanied Cheng Enhou and his wife to see off Master Mu Si who had returned to Quzhou.

At the beginning of March, Jiang Zhixia arrived at the Zhuangzi and arranged for the tenants to start repairing the land.

In mid-March, Jiang Zhixia watched the kapok planters in Yazhou begin to dry the kapok seeds.

In late March, Jiang Zhixia watched everyone sow the kapok seeds one by one and water them.

In this way, it is to wait slowly for the kapok flower to grow.

In Zhuangzi, a person from Yazhou who is good at planting kapok flowers watched and recuperated.

Therefore, after Jiang Zhixia stared at the tenants who had planted the kapok flowers, and returned home, he completely relaxed.
