Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 227: Imagine the good days ahead

The next morning, Captain Liu got up with his men just after dawn. Aunt Liu lived in the yard. Knowing that they had to get up early to catch red crayfish from the Weishui River, she got up to make breakfast for them.

Several guards also got up at the same time. They planned to go to the bamboo forest to dig some spring bamboo shoots in the morning.

On the way back last night, I told several aunts in the village that if there are men in their families who want to go with us, they can do so, because the county lord will buy the bamboo shoots we dig up.

Everyone said they were willing to go early for such a good thing so that they could work in the fields when they came back.

Several aunts tightly grasped the thirty copper coins that Manager Gao had just distributed to everyone, as if they had thirty hearts in their chests, afraid that they would jump out.

If I can go dig some wild vegetables in the morning in the future, it will be another source of income. If I save more money, I can repair the house and find a good wife for my son and grandson. Just think about it, life will become more and more hopeful.

Liu Shitou, who had rested for a few days, also wanted to go up the mountain with them. Yesterday, except for Uncle Liu who sat down to help pick vegetables, everyone else in their family was busy.

Manager Gao gave each person a bonus of thirty cents, and the whole family was so happy that they burst into tears and said they would do more work to help the county lady.

These days, everyone saw that he had no other injuries except for the gauze wrapped around his head, so they agreed.

The guards were all brave men. Liu Shitou's determination to avenge his sister was very much in line with their temperament, and they were also willing to help this impoverished family.

When they return to the capital in the future, someone will still have to do this job, and bringing a few people out will also help the county lady and the third prince solve their difficulties.

After having breakfast, several people set out in batches without disturbing the masters in the backyard.

A few guards and Shitou met up with the men from the village at the fork in the road before heading up the mountain.

Each person brought a hoe and carried a backpack, and some even had an axe tied around their waist.

It was light in the morning, and I could see the road without a torch. A few familiar people were walking in front of me, chatting with each other. It was still cool in the morning, but after climbing the mountain for a while, my whole body was hot.

Along the way, the guards told everyone about their past military service and how they served as guards for the county lord after they retired. They also talked about how the county lord farmed in the capital and dug up lotus roots to eat, and some of her deeds at the Wohushan Farm. The county lord also taught everyone to learn the Arabic number song, and the villagers were stunned. The county lord's deeds were so wonderful.

Especially the changes in Wohushan Farm and the various crops grown in the fields. As long as they follow the county lord, they can change the status quo. Everyone imagines a better future.

One villager asked, "Brother guard, you said the county lady dug out lotus roots to eat. Are they the kind of lotus that rich people grow for show?"

The guard replied: "Yes, you have also seen this kind of lotus."

Several villagers looked at each other, and Liu Erniu, who had just spoken, said, "There is a large lotus pond next to Yao Village, and beautiful flowers bloom there every year. We heard that they are called lotus flowers.

It used to be the farm of a wealthy family. The owner loved lotus, so he ordered people to dig several acres of fertile land into ponds, which were planted with lotus.

Later, the wealthy family fell into poverty and sold the farm. However, the person who bought the farm did not like lotus flowers, and the lotus pond was full of lotus flowers and could not raise fish, so he only bought the fields.

When the wealthy people moved away from Qingshui County, the lotus pond became deserted. In the past few years, lotus flowers still bloom, but no one takes care of them or fertilizes them, so they are not as beautiful as before. "

The guard's name was Sun Daming. He said, "The information you provided is very good. I will report it to the county lord. If the county lord needs it, I will ask the county magistrate. Then I will definitely reward you."

A few people smiled and said, "We are just curious. What grows in that pond can be eaten."

A guard replied: "Yes, and it is delicious. You will know it later."
