    “Mother, I’ll be taking the countryside exams this fall and don’t want to be distracted by other things.” Wei Yi Chen said in a hurry.

    “Well well well, your things mother will not mention for now.” Yun promised, “But your sister’s matter you also don’t worry about, although my mother has some small conflicts with your elder sister in weekdays, but she is always my own flesh and blood, marriage matters I definitely want to choose a good son-in-law for her as much as possible.”

    Immediately following the Yun’s added: “Previously I was thinking to Ruo’er this nature, high families may not be able to climb, only to find a rule of the readers or farming and reading family, now it seems that she has her destiny. Now it seems that she has her destiny.”

    Wei Yi Chen couldn’t say anything else, so he stopped the conversation to this point.

    Mother and son gossiped for a while longer, and seeing Wei Yi-chen show his fatigue, Yun let Wei Yi-chen go back to rest.

    Wei Ruo, who returned to Listening Pine Court, immediately went into the study to write a letter.

    For one thing, she had to instruct the people on the farm to be on the alert for the evil seedling disease, and if they found any problems with the seedlings, they had to notify her immediately.

    Secondly, to write to the Nurse, urging on that matter of helping her to find a candidate for a husband, which had been mentioned before.

    Today the attitude of Mrs. Tongzhi reminded her of that, letting her know that she had to pick up the pace.

    If she is really as Yun’s thought that there is no high family to see on the just, but also can be delayed for two years, but like the Xu family that family if you see her, I’m afraid that Yun’s will be moved to the heart, then to give her to the marriage settled, which will make her in a more passive situation.

    “Miss, are those malignant seedling diseases you saw today the kind we saw in Huzhoufu two years ago?” Xiu Mei asked.

    Wei Ruo nodded, “Seeing the symptoms is the same.”

    “That can be too fatal, these two years the weather is not good, the wind does not adjust to the rain, it is difficult to grow a high yield to, and then so tossed, the grain yield is even more out of place.” Xiu Mei worried.

    “These days I will take the time to go around more, those who can be persuaded to persuade, those who can’t be persuaded I can’t do anything about it, do my best.” Wei Ruo said.

    Although he hit a wall with those farmers today, Wei Ruo still wanted to try his best.

    After all, it’s a matter of saving lives, and when food production falls short, a lot of people die.

    Xiu Mei nodded, when the young lady in Huzhoufu persuade people at first also be a lot of people scolded, that time the young lady is still only ten years old, no one believe her words, scolding her words are very hard to hear.

    But fortunately, in the end, there were sensible people who listened to their young lady’s words and carefully examined the seedlings, confirming that there were some problems, and chose to believe their young lady’s words.

    These include the village head of Mojiajie, under the strong suggestion of the village head, that year’s Mojia station re-sprouting planted miss late rice seed, the result that year Mojiajie bumper harvest, while some of the surrounding villages have a grain harvest of the tragic situation.

    And in the following days, when Wei Ruo had time, he went to the countryside near the capital city as Xu Wo right, and when he found something wrong, he communicated with the local farmers.

    The situation and the year Wei Ruo in the Huzhoufu encounter is similar, and even worse, scolded is unavoidable, was directly out of the head stretcher to drive out of the village are light.

    Wei Ruo did not care, what should be said, what should be done, do your best.

    Today Wei Ruo came to the stone village, this is the place where Wei Ruo opened the brewery, today’s brewery is still under construction, Wei Ruo this trip just can go to the field to see the progress.

    Come to the reserved place, which is backed by a big mountain with a stream flowing in front of it.

    The setting is very pleasant, and what was once an empty flat is now home to several more houses.

    Because it is for brewing, the house is still quite different from a normal house.

    One of the biggest difference with the ordinary house is the boiler room, which is used to distill white wine with, the general brewery also do not have to build this, responsible for the construction of the people do not know what this is for.

    “Good day, proprietor!”

    “Good day, proprietor!”

    “Dongjia! You’re here!”

    “……”

    Upon seeing Wei Ruo, the crowd took the initiative to greet Wei Ruo and acted very enthusiastically.

    Currently working here are Wei Ruo Zhuangzi’s long laborers, they are now all energetic, because Wei Ruo gave them excellent treatment, not only pay more than other families, but also adopted a reward system, do a good job, is an additional reward.

    The higher the yield of the rice paddies they managed that year, the more they were rewarded for being sent out to farm. The treatment was no longer just that of a longtime laborer, it was on the verge of catching up with that of a tenant.

    And while they had more security than the tenants, who had nothing if their own fields didn’t produce, they at least had wages from the proprietor.

    The same goes for those who are sent to work in the workshop, and they are rewarded just as much for a job well done in the workshop.

    There is no place to find such a good deal, not to mention such a bad year as today’s, or even in previous years.

    Wei Ruo smiled and nodded, “You guys have worked hard.”

    “No hard work, no hard work, Dongjia you be careful, there are still a lot of debris here, there are rafters across the floor, you be careful not to trip.” The eldest laborer carefully reminded Wei Ruo.

    “Good.” Wei Ruo nodded.

    After turning around, Wei Ruo was satisfied with the construction of the workshop, there was no discrepancy with her vision, and the construction progress and construction quality were in line with her expectations.

    The way things are going, the brewery will be up and running next month.

    It looked like she was going to have to start selecting workers for training, as well as getting the crops for brewing ready.

    After the inspection, Wei Ruo came to the village headman’s house in Stone Village, standing outside the fence of the village headman’s house, Wei Ruo was wondering whether the village headman was at home.

    “Mr. Xu!”

    Shi Dayou, the village headman who came out of the house, saw Wei Ruo and warmly came out to greet him.

    Shi Dayou is in his thirties and walks with a limp on one foot.

    He didn’t look like the authoritative type, and wasn’t old enough to look like the head of a village.

    Shi Dayou opened the fence gate and invited Wei Ruo into his home, “Mr. Xu come in quickly come in quickly.”

    Wei Ruo entered and followed Shi Dayou into the house.

    The house is simple but clean.

    “Mr. Xu came to inspect the construction progress of the Brewery today?” Shi Dayou inquired.

    “Yes.” Wei Ruo nodded his head and immediately followed up with Shi Dayou, “Other than that, there’s one more thing that I want to talk to the village head.”

    “Mr. Xu what do you need our villagers to help you just open your mouth, we will definitely help if we can!” Shi Dayou busily said.

    “It’s not that there’s anything I need your help for, but when I entered the village, I saw the seedlings inside the paddy fields around the village, and thought that there was something strange about the growth, and based on my experience these seedlings might have some problems.” Wei Ruo said.

    Hearing Wei Ruo’s words, Shi Dayou was silent for a while.

    “Village Chief?” Wei Ruo called out to Shi Dayou.
