Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

That is, as there are more fields to grow sweet potatoes, the yield of sweet potatoes will increase, and there will be more people willing to raise pigs.

In this way, her bacon sausage workshop will not worry about the source of live pigs.

King Anyang nodded, appreciating Lin Xiaoyue's open-mindedness.

"However, it's impossible to let the people plant all sweet potatoes." Lin Xiaoyue suddenly said again.

King Anyang immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"Don't forget, my lord, I also have a chili product workshop."

"In addition to chili sauce and bean paste, spicy cabbage requires a lot of cabbage as raw materials."

"If all the people are allowed to grow sweet potatoes, then the cabbage in my workshop will not be enough."

"Haha." King Anyang was amused.

"This is simple. Let the villages around Dashi Village focus on growing cabbage, and a little or no sweet potatoes. In other places, let them all grow sweet potatoes!" He said.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her glass.

"In that case, thank the lord!"

"Haha, what's there to thank for this?! If Qingshi Town can really develop, the king should thank you!" King Anyang said, and had a cup of tea with Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue chatted with the king of Anyang for a while, and proposed that in the follow-up, Director Fang would cooperate with the palace and implement the plan for the hometown of sweet potatoes.

In the afternoon, the sun is scorching hot.

The King of Anyang rested on Zhuangzi for half a day.

In the evening, I went to the ground to take a look again, and then left with Liang Yu.

Lin Xiaoyue personally sent the person away, and she breathed a sigh of relief when the carriage was far away.

Home of sweet potatoes...new business is coming again...

"Miss—" Manager Fang shouted when he saw that Lin Xiaoyue was a little tired.

"It's all right. I'll leave it to you later to connect with the Anyang Palace." Lin Xiaoyue said.

"Your Highness has the heart to do some practical things, and if this is done, it will be of great help to us, so you have to be more attentive."

"Yes!" Manager Fang hurriedly saluted.

"Also, haven't the brothers' wages for more than half a year been calculated yet?" Lin Xiaoyue turned back and looked at Director Fang.

Manager Fang hesitated for a moment.

Not long after the Chiwu Army came to Qingshi Town, the mistress proposed to pay wages to the brothers.

It's just that the time was set in half a year because of not much savings at that time.

Now the time has come.

He thought that the mistress would not remember, but who knows, the mistress actually asked about it a few days ago.

"It's almost done." Manager Fang saluted Lin Xiaoyue.

More than 5,000 Chiwu Army's wages for half a year are not a small amount.

In the past six months, Mistress's business has developed smoothly. All projects are making money.

Otherwise, in the face of the Chiwu Army and various expenses such as business expansion, I am afraid that they will still not be able to pay wages.

"After the calculation is made, it will be distributed. In addition, the wages of the brothers will be paid on a monthly basis, just like other employees. All welfare systems will also remain the same as other employees." Lin Xiaoyue said.

Director Fang hesitated again.

"Yes." Then, salute.

Before, he was actually worried that his brothers would not get used to it when they came back from the border to farm. even cause trouble.

But now it seems that they are used to it very well. Even he himself, somewhat liked the current life.

Perhaps, following the wishes of the master and the mistress, it was really a good decision to let the Chiwu Army go into hiding.

"Yeah." Lin Xiaoyue responded and left.

the next day.

The villages began to pay wages.

The Chiwu troops began to line up at the gates of the account houses of the villages to receive their wages for more than half a year.

Everyone's wages are counted from the day they arrive in Qingshi Town, even if they haven't actually started working at that time.

Zhuangzi Shang was free to eat and live, and he also distributed clothes and daily necessities. Although the daily wages were not high, the wages accumulated over half a year, and the wages were quite a lot.

Depending on the type of work, some earn more than a dozen taels, while others receive less than six taels.

It was the first time that many Chiwu Army had received so much silver, one by one, with silver eyes shining.

Some people even made an appointment and said they wanted to go to town for a drink.

However, Zhuang Zishang issued an announcement immediately, telling everyone not to go out for the time being, saying that their master and mistress would come to condolence to everyone in the past few days.

The Chiwu Army was excited and waited.

In the next few days, Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue really appeared in each village.

Announcing that the business is going well and thanking everyone for their efforts is a must. At the same time, it also expressed a bright outlook for the future.

At this time, the Chiwu Army was different from more than half a year ago, and the mood of each one was much calmer than before. Many people are accustomed to the current life, and they are no longer as resistant to retreat as they were before.

"Before, for the sake of safety, Zhuangshang didn't communicate much with the outside world. But since he is determined to integrate into Qingshi Town, it will not be enough to be isolated from the world in the long run."

"So, next, Zhuang Zishang implements the system of asking for leave to go out. Everyone, you can ask for leave to go out once a month." Lin Xiaoyue said loudly.

When the words came out, the crowd cheered.

Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand, suppressed the voices of everyone, and continued: "As long as you don't cause trouble after going out, you can ask for leave to continue going out next month."

"Of course, this is only temporary."

"In a few days, when the imperial court has completely given up on tracking us, we will be safer. We won't have to go out only once a month. At that time, we will be able to come and go as we please."

"Everyone, you can also apply for household registration like normal people and truly take root in Qingshi Town!" Lin Xiaoyue said loudly.

Yes, truly integrate into the local area and become the people of Qingshi Town.

Some people in the Chiwu Army were silent, while others cheered.

Silent people, reluctant to let go of the past. Those who cheer are rejoicing in the new life.

They all believed that everything the mistress said would come true.

More than half a year ago, the mistress appeared and, together with her mistress, took them away from the border.

No matter how difficult it was, they did it.

Then, the mistress settled them in various villages and arranged for them to work.

They saw with their own eyes that Zhuang Zishang went from poor and poor to now full of harvests.

Zhuang Zishang's life has changed from barely enough to eat before, but now he can eat well every day.

Moreover, as promised, the mistress really gave everyone half a year's wages.

That's how people are. With money in their hands, they can't help but have hope, and can't help but imagine and plan the future.

Those battles on the battlefield have become a thing of the past. Now, they have money in their hands, and they can still work and earn money. When they save enough money and get household registration, can they really settle down in Qingshi Town?

At that time, build a house, marry a wife, and then give birth to a litter of children.

Such a life was never imagined before. Thinking about it now, it's beautiful...

Lin Xiaoyue was a little happy to find that the Chiwu Army no longer resisted herself saying things like going into seclusion.

This is a good thing... It shows that everyone has gradually accepted the matter of seclusion.

There were a total of twelve Zhuangzi, and the couple delayed for several days before finishing Zhuangzi.

In the blink of an eye, the golden autumn of October.

The weather is finally starting to cool down.

After the sweltering heat passed, Lin Xiaoyue felt a sense of comfort.

On this day, Lin Xiaoyue, who was shopping in Qingshi Town, heard a news that something had happened at the border gate. Ten days ago, Jin and Chu had joined forces to send troops together, and the army was crushing the border.

What Lin Xiaoyue thought at the moment was that the news had already reached Qingshi Town, and Li Xiao and others were afraid that they had already known about it.

But they chose to hide it.

After being annoyed in her heart, Lin Xiaoyue immediately went to Liu Mansion.

Immediately, people were sent to find Director Fang and Li Xiao.

Director Fang was in Liu Mansion and came the fastest.

Facing the anger of the mistress, after entering the door, Director Fang lowered his head and did not dare to say a word except to salute.

"Tell me, how long have you known about the border issue. What's the situation now?" Lin Xiaoyue asked after suppressing the anger in her heart.

The safety of the country of Yan had little to do with her.

But this time, Chu and Jin joined forces to cut Yan, two to one.

If the state of Yan can't bear it, it may be the disaster of destroying the state.

At that time, will there be any eggs under the nest?

In addition, business only works well in a relatively stable political environment.

Now her business is blooming everywhere. If there is a war, let alone making money, she is afraid that she will lose money.

Manager Fang raised his head and glanced at Lin Xiaoyue with a tangled expression on his face.

The master didn't let him say that, he is also obeying orders...

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue's face immediately turned black.

At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

It was Li Xiao, with Henry Zhang behind him.

Li Xiao's face was a little red, and his breathing was a little hurried, obviously he came back in a hurry.

When Director Fang saw Li Xiao, his eyes suddenly appeared to be crying for help, and his heart also calmed down.

The master is back, this time, he doesn't have to worry about disobeying the master's order.

Lin Xiaoyue saw Li Xiao, but quickly looked away.

Seeing this, Li Xiao sighed in his heart.

Then he strode over to Lin Xiaoyue's side and sat down on the chair next to her.

"You all go out." Then Director Chong Fang and Henry Zhang said.

"Yes!" Manager Fang responded quickly.

Then, without waiting for Henry Zhang, he quickly retired.

Henry Zhang glanced at his cousin and cousin-in-law, and also exited the study.

When the two of them went out and closed the door, Li Xiao got up.

Walking to Lin Xiaoyue's side, he immediately stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Lin Xiaoyue's neck, fished the person over, and put it on his waist.

Lin Xiaoyue resisted for a while, but she couldn't resist Li Xiao's strength, so she quickly gave in.

"You're so daring, you didn't tell me about such an important matter." After a while, Lin Xiaoyue said angrily.

Li Xiao was amused by Lin Xiaoyue's tone.

"Don't you know that too?"

Hearing that Li Xiao was still laughing, Lin Xiaoyue's pink fist quickly turned into a fist and slammed into Li Xiao's waist.

"Can this be the same?!" he asked angrily.

Realizing that his daughter-in-law was really angry, Li Xiao didn't dare to continue laughing.

He immediately bowed and pulled his daughter-in-law up.

Then he sat in the position of his daughter-in-law, and let the daughter-in-law sit in his arms.

Burying his head into his daughter-in-law's neck again, someone quickly apologized.

"I didn't tell you that I thought it wouldn't be a fight. Who knows—"

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

"What do you mean?" asked suspiciously.

"Eh—" Li Xiao sighed.

"After my father's accident, the Three Kingdoms originally made a covenant and agreed to a truce for ten years."

"It's only the third year. It stands to reason that Chu and Jin have no excuse to send troops."

"But last year, there was a flood in Dayan Yunzhou, and the Chiwu Army fled the border, which had a great impact on Dayan."

"In the first half of this year, there were droughts in many places in Chu and Jin, which affected the grain harvest."

"Now that it's autumn, the two countries are using force at this time, not really wanting to go to war, but wanting to borrow food."

"Of course, if it is not handled well, it will not be borrowed but compensated."

"Pay?" Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

"Well. Compensation for compensation." Li Xiao explained.

Lin Xiaoyue understood a little now.

Chu and Jin saw that Dayan's strength was weakened, and wanted to get food from Dayan.

Dayan can borrow the best, if not, then fight.

If the beating hurts, there is no need to borrow it, and Dayan can pay directly.

"So, the war broke out because Dayan didn't agree to Chu and Jin's conditions?" Lin Xiaoyue asked.

"Well." Li Xiao replied.

"What conditions did they put forward?" Lin Xiaoyue was curious.

Li Xiao looked at his daughter-in-law.

"Chu and Jin reached an agreement in advance. This time, they will send envoys to the country of Yan together, and they have proposed to borrow 400,000 dan of grain from Dayan."

Lin Xiaoyue's eyes widened.

"A total of 800,000 dan?" Darling, it's really a lion's mouth. Strange that Dayan would disagree.

This has to be agreed, Dayan goes up and down, don't the common people have to drink the northwest wind?

"Well. In the end, we didn't talk to each other, so we started fighting." Li Xiao said.

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

"I heard that the current battle situation is not good for Dayan?" asked again.

Li Xiao nodded.

"On the tenth day of the war, the Yan Kingdom's army was defeated, and the Chu-Jin coalition forces had already conquered three cities."

Lin Xiaoyue's face became solemn.

"The imperial army, so weak?" asked with a frown.

Li Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaoyue.

"It's not weak. It was Chu Jin who suddenly launched and was aggressive. The front line failed to be vigilant in advance and was caught by surprise." He said.

"However, keep going. There are still nearly two months before the winter. The outcome is unpredictable."

After the winter, the weather was bad, and Chu and Jin lacked clothing, food, and grass, so they would definitely withdraw.

But I was afraid that Yan Guo would not be able to hold on to that time.

Chu Jin is now facing a difficult situation, and regards the state of Yan as a savior.

The army of Chu and Jin was united, and such an army was difficult for the state of Yan to resist.

In the face of the danger of destroying the country, or ceding land and paying indemnity, it depends on how Emperor Yan makes a choice.

"Then can our store still open? Also, do we have to stock up on food as soon as possible?!" Lin Xiaoyue suddenly thought of something and said anxiously.

800,000 dans of grain, which is not a small amount. With so much food taken away, many people in Dayan are afraid that they will be hungry.

Li Xiao patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder.

"I've asked Director Fang to slow down the fast expansion. I've always made arrangements for this."

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth raised.

"We're not just a family. There are more than 5,000 people in the Chiwu Army. How can we do it without making preparations in advance?"

"From the day I came back from the Chiwu Army, I knew that this day would come sooner or later." Li Xiao sighed when he said this.

Among the three kingdoms of Yan, Chu and Jin, Dayan has the most fertile land and the most abundant products.

In the past, it was because of his father's staunch main fighting faction, and the presence of the Chiwu Army, that the two countries did not dare to invade the border easily.
