Chapter 498
In the afternoon, the chief clerk of the county here came to reply. The county magistrate was receiving the fifth prince Tang Jue.

Although the county lord is older, compared with the prince, he still has to stand aside.

Fu Jiujiu didn't care about this. Her land was here, and she would have many places to deal with in the future.

The chief clerk's surname is Ji. He is not too young, he must be in his 40s.

Tang Xian was nominally here to seek medical advice, so Tang Jian was responsible for the mission to Beimo. He came to see Fu Jiujiu after he separated from Tang Jian.

Therefore, the chief clerk did not know who the handsome young man next to Fu Jiujiu was. He only thought that he had an extraordinary bearing and spoke respectfully.

"Master Ji, please sit down quickly." Fu Jiujiu really wasn't used to others kneeling down to worship him, but he had to do as the Romans do, so he had to get used to it.

"Thank you so much, County Master." Secretary Ji looked at Xiaotuanzi and didn't dare to sit down, so he only sat on half of the chair.

"The county owner called the villain over, but he asked about the land?"

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "Yes, is it a wasteland? There was no owner before?"

"What you said is exactly what you said, it is a piece of... wasteland." Master Ji said. He was actually puzzled. When he heard that the emperor awarded it to the little county owner who was personally named, he was completely confused.

"That land... had never been farmed and had no previous owner."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "That's just right. It will save you trouble. How many people are there in our county?"

Chief Ji was puzzled. It was irrelevant for Xiao Naituanzi to ask what he was doing.

And it’s useless for a child to ask.

However, he couldn't stand Xiao Nai Tuanzi's high status, and he didn't dare to neglect it. "Back to the county master, our Shanling County is vast and sparsely populated, with only over 1 people. It can't be compared with those big counties that are a land of plenty."

Fu Jiujiu nodded. It was quite small. The number of people there was not as large as that of a large district in a modern first-tier city.

Director Ji felt a little guilty. The little county boss should know how much ten thousand is, right?
He subconsciously looked at Tang Xian, this young man should understand, right?

"County Lord, I am a native of this place, and I know the environment of the North very well. What are you planning to do here? I can also give you some opinions for your reference." Master Ji said.

"You're so kind." Fu Jiujiu looked at him with a smile, "Hurry up and eat. I brought these from home. You're welcome."

Chief Ji looked at the things on the plate, they should be dried fruits or something like that.

Fruits here are very valuable and cannot be seen all year round. To transport them from far away, they have to travel over mountains and ridges, and many of them are spoiled. Apples and pears can be transported here, but the price has increased several times.

Master Ji took a bite obediently and found it delicious, but he was too embarrassed to reach out again because of his face.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious. Thank you so much, Lord County, for the gift."

Fu Jiujiu felt that the bookkeeper was very nice and kind, and he did not fool her because of her young age.

"Master Ji, you just asked me what I wanted to grow, and I just want to grow these fruits."

"Fruit?" After hearing this, Master Ji waved his hands in panic, "No, no, County Lord, absolutely no."

"why?"

"You don't know something. Our soil and water in the north are not fertile, so we can't get a good harvest from growing food. Growing fruits... we can't, we can't."

Chief Ji felt that the little baby was just a little baby, which was a bit whimsical, but he did not dare to show it on his face.

"Of course ordinary fruits won't work, but I have different fruit seeds." Fu Jiujiu looked at Tang Xian and smiled with two dimples.

"This……"

Fu Jiujiu could see that Chief Ji was still a little worried, and knew that he had good intentions, so he said: "Don't worry, I'm just trying. If it doesn't work, just change it."

Anyway, the ground is there, she can't run away, and she is young, so she has plenty of time to try and make mistakes.

Besides, it’s not wrong at all.

You can grow small pumpkins, dragon fruits, figs, pomegranates, jujubes, etc., and they are more delicious than those grown in places with a lot of rain. "But we don't have much rain here. What happens when we are short of water?"

"Dig wells, dig more wells and dig deeper." Fu tweeted.

"This will require a lot of workers."

"Don't be afraid. There is little land in our county and we don't produce food. There should be many people who need to make money, so they just come to my place."

Chief Ji still felt that Xiao Nai Tuanzi’s thoughts were too good, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make ends meet by then.

"County Lord, are you no longer considering it?"

"Just do it."

When Master Ji saw that she had made up her mind, she stopped trying to persuade her, knowing that even trying to persuade her would be useless.

Anyway, he is the head of the county, and he doesn’t want to wait for this place to make money for food.

Fu Jiujiu just wanted to ask about the situation in this land. The next step was to recruit workers, build a farm, turn the Gobi into fields, make greenhouses, raise fruit seedlings, and plant the saplings in the next spring.

In addition, she also needs to build a place to put the animals.

"Master Ji, can you ask the county magistrate to post a recruitment notice for me so that it can be faster?"

Secretary Ji looked at the little villain and felt that these words did not sound like she had said them. However, she heard that this little county boss was rewarded for his great achievements, so there must be something special about her.

"County Master, what kind of workers do you want to recruit, and how many do you want?"

"Those who build houses also need people who will work in the fields for a long time."

"How much?"

Fu Jiujiu was really not sure about this, "You can recruit twenty people each first. After the house is built, some people may want to stay. If there are not enough, we will talk about it later."

The ji master wrote them down one by one and left.

Tang Xian never said a word. After he left, he said, "Okay, it's quite impressive."

"Of course, I learned it from my brothers."

Tang Xian didn't go into details. The little girl was already mature beyond her years. He was not surprised when others were surprised when she said these words.

And this kind of thing must have happened in their family. With her brain, it is normal for her to learn and apply it.

Fu Sijin was also very excited when he came back. There were business opportunities everywhere here, and he wanted to think about it carefully.

In the afternoon, when dinner was approaching, a man came to the inn where they were staying. Fu Jiujiu recognized the man as Tang Jian's servant.

"County Master, our master invites you to gather at the military camp."

Fu Jiujiu thought about what Tang Jian wanted to do, but his face showed excitement and surprise, "Is the fifth prince's brother here too?"

"Yes, the fifth prince has also come to Beidi and is currently in Shanling County."

"What a coincidence!"

"Yes, my master is destined to be the county master. He also just heard from the chief clerk here that you are here. It's just that he has some official matters that he can't leave. He specially ordered his subordinates to escort you there."

Fu Sijin looked at Tang Qi who was not around. The boy just said someone was here and left, "Sir, my sister is young and needs someone to take care of her. She has never been away from her family. You see..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. My master will take good care of the county master. County master, are we leaving now?"

Although the man was polite, his attitude was very tough.

Fu Jiujiu knew that it would be impossible if she didn't go, but it didn't matter, she just happened to go to see what kind of medicine Tang Jue was selling in his gourd.
