Chapter 10 Qingfeng City Sign-in
Chapter 10 Qingfeng City Sign-in
Yuanman’s plan was to avoid taking action if possible and just stay hidden for now.
So, of course she had to bring the secret guards with her.
She was going to sign in tomorrow, so she called housekeeper Li and the old lady and told them that she was going out to do business and would be away for about a month.
Who knows if there will be any delays.
Let housekeeper Li take care of everything at home, and grandma help take care of Yuanbao and the six children.
Yuanman kissed Yuanbao again and again, saying that he would not see him for at least half a month, so he had to kiss him enough.
Yuanbao let her kiss him so hard that he giggled non-stop.
The old lady looked at them and smiled kindly. Since Yuanman had to go out to do business to support the family, she naturally had to help her take care of the children at home.
After giving instructions to housekeeper Li, Yuanman went to the South Courtyard with the old lady, where the children were studying.
Looking at their serious expressions, Yuanman smiled with satisfaction.
I worked with them for the whole morning and delivered the potato seeds to the farm in the afternoon.
She plans to plant sweet potatoes on the existing 100 acres, so if she wants to plant potatoes, she will have to buy more land.
So she gave Manager Li one thousand taels of silver and asked him to buy another hundred acres nearby, preferably sandy loam land.
One hundred acres of land requires about 800 kilograms of potatoes. Yuanman gave 900 kilograms to Manager Li. After planting, they kept the rest for themselves to eat.
After telling him how to grow potatoes, I checked the condition of the sweet potatoes and felt relieved only after confirming that there was no problem.
The next morning, he changed into men's clothes, put on some rough men's makeup, and left Mingzhou City with four secret guards.
After a whole day of traveling, we finally arrived in Lianzhou City and settled down in the evening.
We continued our journey early the next morning. The further north we went, the fewer people there were.
Although the disaster had passed, it was impossible for those who had left their homes to return so quickly, not to mention that there was no food to go back, so the further north they went, the more desolate the scenery became.
Seeing the three big words on the city wall, Yuan Man breathed a sigh of relief. After traveling for several days, he finally arrived.
When I walked into Qingfeng City, I found that there were very few people walking around in the city.
[Ding, you can sign in to Qingfeng City, do you want to sign in? ]
"Sign in."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. The sign-in reward is one million taels of silver, one thousand acres of fertile land, two manors, fifty farmers, and one hundred thousand catties of coarse grains. The relevant items have been placed in the backpack, please check them. ]
When he heard the one million taels of silver, Yuan Man took a breath.
Standing at the city gate, she wanted to shout out loud, "Who else?"
However, when she saw the thousands of acres of fertile land, she was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted.
Just now, she was given a thousand kilograms of rice seeds, and now she is given a thousand acres of fertile land. This is the rhythm for her to farm!
It is now late April, the season for planting rice.
Huiguo is currently short of food, and if these 1,000 kilograms of rice are planted, they will soon attract attention.
Once the harvest is ready, it will definitely solve Huiguo’s urgent needs.
If the 100,000 kilograms of coarse grains rewarded by the system were donated, many people would no longer have to starve and eat grass and peel tree bark while waiting for the harvest.
No wonder the system urged her this time, it wanted her to save Li Ming and become a hero.
Provide enough money and food.
Yuan Man took a deep breath. She didn't want to become famous so early. People are afraid of fame just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. It is not a good thing to become famous when you are not yet fully grown.
She has the inner strength to protect herself, but she doesn't like trouble.
But she could donate in another way, that is, donate in the name of Shangqing Pavilion. This would, on the one hand, build up the reputation of Shangqing Pavilion, and on the other hand, completely avoid trouble.
After all, apart from Shopkeeper Ye, no one knew that Shangqing Pavilion was hers.
Very good, now that it’s given to you, let’s do it.
Yuanman figured out all the key points and continued walking towards the city.
A county town is so desolate, let alone the villages. I'm afraid many villages have become deserted.
After walking around Qingfeng City, he headed towards the farm rewarded by the system.
We have to plant the rice seeds as soon as possible.
The two rewarded farms were not far away, so Yuan Man asked Yuan Er to invite another manager, and he went directly to the nearest farm.
When I walked into the village, I found that everyone was surrounding a skinny wild boar, discussing whether to eat it or sell it.
Finally, the steward made the decision, "Eat. The children have been hungry for a long time and haven't had meat for a long time."
"Alas, this famine has killed so many people. Fortunately, we have surplus crops on the farm, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to survive."
"But now the grain has been eaten up, and there is no seed to plant even if I want to. If the boss blames me, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything."
"There's nothing we can do. The boss doesn't give us monthly wages, nor does he give us food. We can't just sit there and wait to die."
"Okay, stop talking. Let's clean up this wild boar and have dinner together tonight." After saying this, Manager Chen was about to leave.
Seeing Yuan Man standing by the side, he couldn't help but look at him for a few times, "This... Sir, is there something wrong with you?"
This sound made everyone look at her.
Yuan Man smiled and said, "I am your new boss. I am here to give you rice seeds."
Manager Chen looked at her in surprise, then he was overjoyed, "Really?"
Yuan Man nodded: "Let's talk about this somewhere else."
"Please, come this way, Master." Manager Chen immediately took her to the villa on the farm.
"Boss, I have always sent someone to clean the villa. Do you want to live here?"
Yuan Man thought for a moment and nodded, "I will stay here for the next few days. I will leave after you have planted the rice straw."
Manager Chen nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, I'll ask my wife to come over and cook for you. Her cooking skills are pretty good."
"Thank you." Yuanman looked around the villa.
Not to mention, it's quite well maintained, with a courtyard with two entrances, which is quite big.
"By the way, the manager of the farm next door will come over soon, and we will discuss how to plant the rice seeds then."
Manager Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Did the boss also buy the farm next door?"
Seeing this, Yuan Man asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that Zhuangzi?"
Manager Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, I have no ill intentions and I don't mean to sow discord, but everyone knows about that manager's affairs."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yuan Man was curious.
"During the famine, the manager took in many young girls and molested them. When there was no food, he even ate people..."
Yuan Man frowned after hearing this, "No one cares?"
Manager Chen shook his head helplessly, "Who can manage it? The manor originally belonged to the county magistrate's wife, and the manager is a cousin of the county magistrate's wife."
"Although I don't know how the boss bought the farm, but with the county magistrate here, it may be troublesome to drive him away."
After hearing this, Yuanman immediately asked the system.
"Brother Tong, is this land and farm legal? Is it really mine? What should I do if the county magistrate causes trouble for me?"
[Please rest assured, host, all the rewards given to you are legal and compliant. Since the deed is in your hand, it is naturally yours. As for the county magistrate, he will be imprisoned within three days. The host does not need to mind. ]
"That's good."
Yuan Man looked at Manager Chen and said, "Manager Chen, don't worry. I have my own way to handle it."
"The manager of that manor is not good enough. Do you have any suitable recommendation?"
"To know farming, one must be smart and loyal."
