Chapter 405
How could Ji Qingyue have the heart to keep her younger brother at home and study all the time.

What's more, he has really worked hard in his studies recently, and he hasn't gone out for several days, and I feel sorry that he can bear it.

"Okay, let's go and play, come back earlier, don't run far away."

"Sister, you are the best. I will be back on time."

Ji Yifeng left the guest room, went back to the upper room, took a few mooncakes, candies and mung bean cakes on the plate, he carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief, then stuffed them into the purse hanging around his waist, and then bouncing around go out.

"The young master brought food, don't worry, girl." Aunt Bai smiled and came over to report to Ji Qingyue.

Ji Qingyue smiled, Ji Yifeng's foodie temperament has not changed at all, but she doesn't worry if he brought food.

Ji Qingyue turned her head, "Mr. Liu, you've worked hard today, I'll take these books back and make a copy, and send them back tomorrow."

"Girl is free, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back to the room first."

"it is good."

After sending Mr. Liu away, Ji Qingyue asked Linge to carry all the books into her boudoir desk and put them away.

He also told Mrs. Bai to prepare the meals at home, there must be a lot of people coming back at noon.

"Girl, where are you going?" Lingge and Zhumei followed Ji Qingyue, wandering around the village.

"I plan to choose a piece of land to dig a pond to raise fish."

This was what Ji Qingyue had already thought about. The grain seeds would be sold for at most one season, and the price would gradually come down after that. It was not a long-term solution.

But this fish farming is a good job.

Not only fish can be raised in the pond, but also lotus can be raised, and lotus root can be dug in winter.

Although there is a river near Longjiang County, the fish in the river are river fish, which are different from the fish in the pond. For example, crucian carp that feeds milk is better than the fish in the big river.

The most important thing is that the river in Longjiang County is more of a river, and the transportation is convenient, but there are few people fishing, and more people are close to the river and have no fields, so they can only make a living by fishing.

And the Great Xia Kingdom has a vast land and abundant resources. Generally, as long as one does not make a big mistake, his subordinates can have land.

Of course, except for those who have sold out the land themselves, in fact, some Yongye land cannot be sold. Of course, if it is urgently needed, it can also be mortgaged.

"Girl, what do you think of this land?"

The three of them walked half of the village as soon as they strolled. They didn't go to the location near the head of the village. There is an official road over there. In fact, after entering the village from the official road, there is only one road that is not too big or small to reach Ji's house. It's also because the location of Ji's house is relatively remote, with a lot of wasteland, otherwise there would be no carriage to enter.

What Ji Qingyue was looking for this time was also a location on the back of the mountain. She soon found a large piece of wasteland next to her field. There was a small hillside beyond the wasteland. Income fundus.

If you dig a few fish ponds on this wasteland, plant lotus, and then stop on the hillside above, it will definitely be a good scenery.

"Girl, there are few people here, and the land is still big. If we buy all this wasteland, at least three fish ponds can be dug. It's also close to the roadside, so it will be convenient for transportation."

"Well, by the way, repair this dirt road again, flatten it like an official road, and it will be convenient to enter and leave the village in the future."

"To build the road, it takes a lot of people." Zhumei exclaimed.

She remembered that when she was a child, the father of the family used to take strong men out to build roads. He went there for three months. When he came back, he was thinner, with no flesh on his face. All shaking.

Because of this incident, Zhumei subconsciously felt that building roads was a waste of money and people.

It doesn't mean that building roads is not good. Of course, building roads is useful. Only after building roads can one go to the town or even further afield.

But the tragic situation of those road builders made Zhumei subconsciously shudder, and her whole face turned pale.

She suddenly remembered the days when she was hungry, and when her father was working, he still couldn't eat enough. Such days were so miserable that she didn't dare to recall them.

"Zhumei, what's the matter with you?" Lingge looked back to see Zhumei with a pale face, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and asked with concern.

Zhumei waved her hand, "I'm fine."

But her hand on Ringo's arm gave away her true emotions.

Ji Qingyue heard the conversation between the two, turned around and saw that something was wrong with Zhumei.

"Zhumei, what's the matter? You can tell us."

"That's right, Zhumei, don't keep everything in your heart, otherwise what will you do if you get sick?" Lingge persuaded from the side.

Zhumei also recovered now, but she was a little embarrassed because she wasted the master's time by provoking her.

"Girl, I feel that building roads is too labor-intensive, and maybe no one is willing to come to build roads." Zhumei said cautiously.

Ji Qingyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Zhumei was talking about this matter. She just thought of it by the way. After all, there is a saying that doesn't mean that a country needs to be strong to get rich first.

This was practiced very successfully in her time.

But thinking of the manpower it took to build roads in ancient times, she knew why Zhumei had such an ugly expression.

"Zhumei, I'm talking about building this road, which is different from the imperial court arresting strong men to build roads." A slight breeze blew over, and the sun was not too strong, so Ji Qingyue simply sat on the meadow, facing the two of them. explain.

"Why did the imperial court find people to repair the road? Will those people be miserable when they come back?" Ji Qingyue asked.

Linge raised his hand: "Girl, I know."

"Because I didn't have enough to eat when building roads, and I had to work day and night, and I gradually lost weight. This is a very strenuous and hard work."

Zhumei followed suit and nodded: "My...father at that time, it was because he was a strong man, his health was broken, and the family couldn't live on later. After fleeing famine, I lost my family, and gradually became a beggar."

Ji Qingyue fell silent when she heard Zhumei's words.

For those in power, the death of a few people may not be a big deal. Besides, in ancient society, it seemed that the emperor had the final say, but the officials below were too remote to cause major incidents, and the emperor didn't know about it.

However, Longjiang County is not bad. At least the officials did not cheat too much, but they did not enslave the people too much, so their Ji family was able to develop slowly.

"There is no way to build roads. How much food to eat and how much work to do every day are all rationed and must be completed. Why don't we just let everyone do it quickly?"

"And even if I don't ask, there shouldn't be much difference in how much work the strong men from all over the country should do and what they eat every day. Under such a big environment, it is difficult for us to change. We can only make our own as much as possible. Have a good day."

Ji Qingyue doesn't think she has the ability to change this environment, she thinks more about adapting.
