The crops in the village have almost been harvested, and every household has stored up enough food. I want to go and take a look every day, but it always seems a little unreal.

After all, we had not had enough to eat for years, and suddenly there were piles of food, which felt a bit like a dream.

The same goes for Shen Qingshan. He has the most cultivated land and originally wanted to help Shen Nanzhi. Despite her good intentions, the villagers were skeptical and dared not to cultivate land, so they could only cultivate more land themselves.

As a result, the collected grain could not be stored. Fortunately, the masters and their servants ate at home and consumed a lot of food, which was all exchanged for silver.

I sold more than a thousand kilograms of grain and freed up some space, but there was still a lot, and the bedroom was filled with grain.

The corns have not been shelled yet and are hanging all over the walls and under the beams. Nan Zhi said that they will not go bad if they are dried like this for a year.

"I think the villagers are a bit impatient. Some scoundrels from other villages are trying to gamble with the villagers. This is not a good sign.

Winter is the off-season for farmers, so we have to find something to do. This business is not easy to start, but it will go bankrupt very quickly."

Shen Nanzhi said: "This is easy, just get everyone busy, and organize the elderly women in the village to patrol the village, and drive away those bad people directly.

Gambling, prostitution and other bad habits are strictly prohibited. Anyone who disobeys will be driven out of the village and will no longer be able to enjoy the supply of high-yield and high-quality crops in the village.

I told the villagers that they should not think that the crops they grow can be grown in cycles. At most, they can be grown twice, and the harvest will decrease. The high yield is due to the high-quality seeds I bought at a high price. "

Shen Qingshan didn't expect this to happen: "That means even if other people buy our grain, the yield won't be as high as this?"

“It’s not as high as the ones in our village, but it’s about the same. It’s much better than what they planted before. Farming is a profound science. Soil, water, seeds, and post-production management are all very important.

If anyone wants to talk about the production volume, it is better not to sell to them as soon as possible to avoid trouble. "

Shen Qingshan: "Of course I understand. That lazy guy threw the seeds on the ground and did nothing but wanted to harvest the crops in the fall. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"

"My cousin is right. Every household has not built their houses yet. Let's build a few solid houses before it freezes so we won't suffer in the winter.

Corn cobs are good firewood, and corn stalks can also be burned, but corn cobs have greater economic value, which is growing mushrooms. If anyone is interested, you can come to me and I will teach you how to grow mushrooms, which will be another source of income at the end of the year. "

“Can mushrooms still be grown?”

"Of course, fungi like black fungus, white fungus, and shiitake mushrooms can all be grown. They are eaten by wealthy people. A pound of them costs over a hundred coins in a dry goods store."

This is something Shen Nanzhi had inquired about in the county town. Most of the dried goods nowadays are shipped from the Northeast, and their prices remain high. Locals go to the mountains to pick some for mostly their own consumption, and there isn't much left after drying, so none of them are sold.

In the final analysis, farmers still think in terms of self-sufficiency; they never think about how to make money, but only about having enough food and clothing.

Shen Qingshan nodded continuously. Nan Zhi had arranged a lot of things to do. "Okay, I'll tell the villagers. Anyone who wants to grow mushrooms can come to you."

"it is good."

As soon as he left, Shen Huai'en said, "Can you handle it? You'll be very busy according to your arrangement."

"Isn't there still you?"

Shen Huai'en: "I can't do that. After these few busy days, when those people in the city leave, I have to go back to study. Mr. Yuan has urged me several times. Next year after the New Year, there will be the county exam, and then the prefectural exam. I have to at least pass the exam and become a scholar."

"You want to take the imperial examination?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that he still wanted to take the imperial examination. She felt indescribably complicated and didn't want him to leave.

"Are you unhappy? I can help you only if I pass the imperial examination. People like Ning Wuye won't dare to bully us anymore.

If you are lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and become an official, I will protect you for the rest of your life."

Shen Nanzhi laughed dryly: "Thank you very much, your ambition is quite rare, it's all for me, please don't, I can't afford it.

You can take the imperial examination to bring honor to your family, or to realize your ambitions, to benefit the people in the future and become an honest official whose name will go down in history, or to survive and make your life better. But don't do it for women, or your classmates will laugh at you to death."

Shen Huai'en wanted to explain, but Shen Nanzhi raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. I said before that we should build the village into a tourist village, build an ancestral hall, a school, and attract more people. Now we can start.

Later I will ask Mr. Yuan to open a school in the village. With him taking the lead, the village will prosper faster.”

"Would you be willing, Mr. Yuan?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Mr. Yuan is not interested in fame and fortune, so Shen Nanzhi thinks that is not a big problem as he has been able to stay in the town for ten years.

Shen Huai'en said: "This is good. There will be a lot of things to do in the village in the future. Choose a few more capable people to manage it, and you will have an easier time."

"That's how it should be."

Now the village is in a state of disrepair, and Shen Nanzhi has to take care of it, but he doesn't plan to do it forever. A qualified leader never does everything himself, he just needs to select good talents and manage them well.

……

Shen Nanzhi was developing the village in a hurry, but he didn't know that the outside world was in chaos.

Let’s start with the county town. Master Ning Wu’s casino was burned down. County Magistrate Cao was alarmed and came to check it out in person early in the morning.

Master Ning Wu clenched his fists and suppressed his anger so that he could stand outside calmly. However, his face was so terribly gloomy that his subordinates dared not even breathe.

"What happened? Did someone set the fire?"

The casino manager said, "Master Wu, we don't know either. We just saw it was too big to put out when it started burning.

There were always people patrolling and the lights were carefully turned off, so there shouldn't be any sparks."

"So someone set the fire? Was there anything unusual last night?"

The manager thought for a while and said, "No, everything is the same as usual."

Master Ning Wu didn't believe it, "Someone must be seeking revenge maliciously."

The manager didn't dare to say anything. You don't need them to remind you of the bad things you have done. Go find your enemies yourself.

Master Ning Wu was also thinking about his enemies. Who would be so bold as to set fire to his own casino?

Suddenly thinking of Shen Nanzhi, "Could it be her?"

The first person Uncle Yang thought of was her, but he didn’t dare to say it, because Uncle Wu would be so angry that he would die.

"Ning Wu, who did you offend? You also burned down several houses around you. Fortunately, no one was killed or the consequences would be more serious."

Magistrate Cao scolded him immediately, and the image he had finally restored was ruined by him again.

Master Ning Wu said angrily: "Mr. County Magistrate, I am also a victim. My house was burned down. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Magistrate Cao said, "Then you should think about your mistakes. Is it because you did too many bad things and are being retaliated against? The fire started from your house, so you have to bear the primary responsibility."
