Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

You can't blame him. When he came back, the villagers seemed to have found a backbone.

The happiest person was Da Tou who came back from school. He hadn't seen Wen Xiu Yi for almost a month. Da Tou wished he could stick to him and follow him wherever he went.

Wen Xiuyi also missed this little boy.

The food at home was ready and dairy cows were raised. Now every day Wen Yao let several children at home, including her and Wen Di Wenying, as well as Luo Shi and Old Man Wen, have a glass of milk and an egg each morning, and some other breakfast.

In addition, Datou and his three little ones were practicing martial arts with Xunfeng every day to keep fit. Their physiques grew so fast that if Wen Xiuyi wasn't so strong, he would hardly be able to hold him.

Da Tou not only clung to him, but also pestered him to talk about things in Fucheng.

Wen Xiuyi said, not only the young one, but also the rest of the Wen family listened with interest.

This small courtyard immediately returned to its former liveliness.

Early the next morning, Wen Yao got up and saw an extra pigeon in the pigeon cage outside her house.

She raised her feet and ran outside.

"Brother Xunfeng, is there a letter from Li Yi?"

Since Li Yi returned, Wen Yao has taken good care of the two carrier pigeons he left behind every day.

The first time I received a letter from Li Yi was when he went to the capital to send them a letter of safety and asked about the situation at home.

Wen Yao originally didn't want to reply, but Xun Feng said that maybe the eldest son of his family was still waiting for Wen Yao to reply to him, so Wen Yao replied.

They talked about all kinds of trivial things that happened at home. Fortunately, the pigeon couldn't carry too much paper, otherwise Wen Yao would have to write down how many eggs the duck at home had laid.

Unexpectedly, not long after the carrier pigeon flew away, it brought back a letter. Li Yi also wrote her a lot of customs and interesting things in the capital.

During this back and forth, the two of them communicated several times relying on the carrier pigeon.

Xunfeng was squatting at the door of the kitchen drinking porridge. Today's porridge was filled with shredded pork and was delicious.

Seeing her coming, he directly took a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it over.

Wen Yao took it and opened it. This time the letter contained no local customs, only one paragraph:

Uncle Emperor was very happy about the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes brought back by his father. Uncle Wen's blessing had arrived. He was afraid that there would be an imperial edict in the near future, so he had to make preparations in advance.

A simple sentence that encompasses it all.

Wen Yao almost jumped up and ran towards Wen Xiu Yi: "Dad, you are going to be prosperous."

Wen Xiuyi kept his head down while eating because someone was already calling him outside.

"What?" Wen Xiuyi asked.

Wen Yao handed the letter to him: "Read the letter from Li Yi yourself."

The characters were too small, so Wen Xiuyi had to squint to read them. When he saw what was written clearly, Wen Xiuyi was startled: "Oh, I'll go." He stood up and quickly put down the bowl in his hand. , holding the piece of paper and looking back and forth.

Luo Shi came close to Wen Yao and asked, "Is your father crazy?"

Wen Yao whispered something into the old lady's ear. The old lady was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

Wen Yao nodded: "Li Yi said it himself, it can't be wrong."

Luo Shi was stunned for a long time, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked out.

"Nai, what are you doing?" Wen Yao chased after her.

It didn't take long for the Wen family to double their wages and let them build the new house next door as quickly as possible, and word spread in the village.

No one knows why the Wen family is so anxious all of a sudden, but with double wages, who can think of it as too much?

Not only that, in order to build the house faster, the Wen family also hired many more workers to work.

Luo Shi said that as long as they could build their house as quickly as possible, not only would their wages be doubled during this period, but they would also be provided with two meals at noon and evening.

In this way, Luo Shi was still worried that it would be too late, and kept checking with Wen Yao whether it was the pigeons flying faster or the people who came to announce the decree walked faster.

Wen Yao comforted the old lady. There were a lot of rules in the palace. Li Yi must have received the news as soon as possible and sent it to them. By the time they were ready to go, she had already received the news. .

If the old lady wants to welcome the imperial edict in a graceful manner, the house must be built quickly.

As for Old Man Wen, his opinion is no longer important.

The opinions of other people in the Wen family were even less important, so Luo Shi didn't let Wen Yao and Wen Xiu Yi tell them about this matter at all.

Even so, the family had no experience at all with this kind of thing, so they could only seek help from experienced people.

Wen Xiuyi took Wen Yao to shopkeeper Qiu, and shopkeeper Qiu was not surprised by this.

"Brother Wen, I have long said that what you have done will be a major event that can change Annan Kingdom. All your blessings are behind you, and this is coming." Qiu Zhi was very happy. Although he was not in officialdom, But I am still happy for my friend. Talents like Wen Xiuyi should not be buried.

However, in this way, some people's interests will be affected to some extent. After all, once food production increases, it means that food will not become a bargaining chip in the hands of some people. Once the people of Annan no longer have to worry about food and clothing, it will inevitably Threatening the interests of some people, Wen Xiuyi will inevitably be targeted.

But Qiu Zhi was not worried about this at all. After all, the person standing behind Wen Xiuyi at this moment was the one who was on par with the sky.

Wen Xiuyi just wanted the people to have enough to eat and no longer be hungry. He never thought about what he would get from doing this, but he was still happy because he could get recognition.

"If there is no blessing, I won't ask for it. I just want to ask, what should I do if the imperial edict really comes?" The key is that he doesn't understand either.

Qiu Zhi touched his beard and said: "Your Majesty, Annan's development to this point is also related to your Majesty's always advocating benevolent government. Our Majesty is a man who cares about the people. Your Majesty will only cherish a talented person like you." , just keep your mind calm and wait for the imperial edict to come.

As for what to do, there is no need to do anything. Although you have the reputation of being a scholar, you are just an ordinary citizen. If you are too well prepared, it will not be good. "

Now that shopkeeper Qiu had said so, Wen Xiuyi also came to his senses. It was true that he was too nervous. It was just Zhang Shengzhi who came to pick him up.

In the following days, although Wen Xiuyi seemed normal every day, only Wen Yao and Wen Jun knew that their father was nervous.

Ten days later, Old Man Wen and his family's new house was built, but the details inside had not been worked out yet. They could only install the doors and windows near the roadside first, and made a new door. Anyway, once the door was closed, who could I couldn't tell what it looked like inside, but at a glance, I saw that this was a new house, and it wasn't as messy as before.

That is to say, the house had just been built and cleaned up when the county magistrate sent someone to inform the Wen family to be ready. The delegation from the capital had already settled in the county and would come to Gutong Village the next day.

Only then did the rest of the Wen family, who had been kept secret, find out that their eldest brother/uncle had actually become famous in farming.
