Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 242 The oriole is behind
In the evening after a meal.

Xie Xie sat with Xu Boyan in the yard for a while as usual.

Talking about being angry with the Shen sisters at noon today, Xu Boyan couldn't help but blame her, and then asked about teaching farming, "How did you plan this?"

She refused to think about it for a while. In the past few days, her mind had been disturbed. On the one hand, she was thinking about how to achieve enough strength to threaten the Fourth Princess in a short period of time. On the other hand, she had to worry about the settlement of tens of thousands of refugees in Liangzhou.

The arrival of the Shen sisters suddenly gave her an idea of ​​a good way to build momentum in a short period of time.

Jiyue Kingdom advocates force and likes to use fists and strength in everything. Therefore, it has been fighting everywhere for hundreds of years. It also makes a living by plundering other countries' resources and despising agricultural development.

But no matter how brave the general is, he still needs to eat.

What's more, with Jiyue's recovery and plunder, in this continent today, only the Rizhao Kingdom in the south can barely compete with it. The rest who are stubbornly resisting are just insignificant small rebellions, and not much food has been captured.

Judging from the current situation, if agriculture is not developed as soon as possible, Jiyue will surely enter an embarrassing period of stagnant national famine.

You can already predict what Jiyue will be like in the future.

Prices are rising, famine is widespread, and the people are miserable.

But if farming technology can be promoted across the country, Jiyue will become the largest agricultural empire on the continent in a few months, and even have the power to overwhelm the agricultural development of Rizhao Country.

By then, with strong troops and strong horses, it will become the general trend to conquer Rizhao.

But how can farming be promoted across the country?
Xie Xie felt that she still needed to think about it carefully.

Then he gathered his thoughts and said to Xu Boyan: "This matter is not urgent. Let's make things difficult for the Shen sisters for a few days. They have come a long way and will definitely not be willing to turn back without success."

Xu Boyan nodded and stood up, "By the way, Chunmiao has been asking me these past few days if there are any picture books that she can take to the farmers to read and study in her spare time. I was wondering whether I should draw them for her. A literacy agricultural book?”

"Literacy agricultural science book?" Xie Xie repeated these words, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Good idea!"

The next day, the Shen sisters took out the generous gifts they had prepared earlier and visited her again with great fanfare.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yiming sent him away with a few words.

"Sanlang." Shen Hong said in a deep voice, "You are considered a member of the Shen family anyway, and you shouldn't be so ostracized! You should calm down and think about it carefully. If your mother's family hadn't given you such a strong support, how could you Do you really think that refusal will always favor you alone? "

Shen Yiming paused and fell silent. Seeing that he had touched his mind, Shen Hong quickly continued to persuade: "You are of low status now, and it is a big deal that you can be a concubine next to Xie, but if you help your mother's family, Then Xu Boyan's farming skills will make the Shen family become a top merchant family, so why should you worry about not being able to get there? "

Upper rank?

Shen Yiming looked at Shen Hong, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile: "Sister, please save your time and don't waste your time on me. I have understood this principle since I was a child." She's out of her mind.

Don't say that he and Xie Xie were just in false names. Even if he really married her, so what if he couldn't be in a position for the rest of his life? So what if I would just be a bed-warming concubine for the rest of my life? As long as he could stay by her side, even if he had no name or status, that would be fine for him.

What he wants has never been promises and status. But to be with her forever.

What's more, which of the men standing by her side now is not outstanding? Originally, in Kyoto, he might still have a slight advantage in front of everyone because of his wealth, but when he arrived in Liangzhou, he seemed to be incompetent.

Shen Yiming thought that it was not an option to continue like this. He had to expand his advantages.

Although the wealth he brought was enough for the people of Yongchang Houfu to squander it for more than ten years.

After thinking carefully, Shen Yiming found out that Shen Hong and Shen Hong wanted to learn farming techniques from Liangzhou, but also had one more important thing - that is, they wanted to cooperate with the government to open up a road. A transport cabin dedicated to the Shen family.

Liangzhou is only separated from Rizhao by a river. If this sea transportation route can be opened in advance, the Shen family will be able to secure this iron rice bowl in advance. All future business transactions with Rizhao will have to rely on the Shen family. .

Even if other cabins were to be built in the future, the Shen family's status would still be unshakable.

After Shen Yiming listened, he thought of Manulife in the future just for a moment.

Such a long-term vision is not something that the Shen family, which has always been conservative, can think of.

"I understand. You go back first. I'll think about it in the next few days. When she comes back in the evening, I will intercede on your behalf."

Shen Hong saw that he answered after careful consideration this time, so she took Shen Yao away.

At dusk in the evening, Xie Xie and Xu Boyan returned home.

Behind them were the smiling Chun Miao and the Tian family siblings.

Shen Yiming specially dressed up, picked out the red silk gauze dress from the bottom of the box, walked up to him from a distance, and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

Xie Xie had been pretending to be husband and wife with him these days, so she didn't push away his intimacy. Instead, he held her arm, turned her head and whispered: "Today we finally arranged to remove most of the refugees on North Street. We I just took a detour from North Street and felt much better when I saw the spacious street. "

"Who says it's not the case! Even the old Marquis couldn't help praising you for your genius just now." Chunmiao has been following Xie Jue and Xu Boyan these days, and has already been hanging out with them. It must be as familiar as anything, and he teased after taking the words at this moment.

"Yes, it's really rare. This is the first time I've been praised by Mr. Xie in my family for growing up." Xiexie pushed Shen Yiming's hand, "Go tell Hanxiang that you must ask the kitchen to give us extra meals today!"

There is still a bit of summer heat after autumn, and Shen Yiming is afraid of moving too much, so he has been lazy at home for several days without going out. But now when he heard the good news from the declined ones, he couldn't help but be happy, and he went down to the mansion. Went to find Xue Hanxiang.

In fact, what the Shen sisters saw when they came here, that the servants obeyed Shen Yiming's words, was all false.

It was just a deliberate show of refusal to give Xue Hanxiang and Green Slave orders in advance.

Shen Yiming also found out about it after bumping into the Green Slave today, and his heart warmed. He never thought that Xie could be so concerned about such small things and details.

"Hanxiang, please send someone to Mingxiang Building in West Market to pack some good dishes tonight." Shen Yiming took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it over.
