Wang Hai was also a thoughtful person. He worked in the city and would go to the gate of the yamen every day.

Ye Qing also prepared several jars of celebratory wine for Wang Hai, keeping them as a gift and for him to inquire about information.

Everyone in the village was looking forward to the news and waited for it at the village entrance every day.

Half a month later, that team of soldiers also came to Kaoshan Village.

The village head brought a few young people from the village and went to help, bringing food and drinks.

The team had been working for more than half a month and had long lost their patience. If it weren't for Lord Wu urging them, they would not have come out.

"My lords, this is a gift from the village to you. Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Fang brought out the wine and dishes, as well as the tables and chairs, and placed them all in a place with a good view.

A few yamen runners thought that Kaoshan Village was sensible, so they invited the village head to drink with them.

They will be staying nearby for several more days, so they certainly hope that Kaoshan Village will always be so sensible.

The village head persuaded the few people to drink and prepared spicy rabbit heads for them, which they ate very well.

"My dear officials, how long are you going to work so hard? You all look very tired. You should take a rest for two days."

"It's probably because Ye Lizheng cares about us brothers. It's also because Lord Wu asked us to report the places we detected before the end of the month."

The village head rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, have you found the place?"

"There are two suitable ones."

The village head's heart skipped a beat. "Sir, we don't understand either. We only know that there is a very deep place in the south of the village. Is it suitable for building a wharf?"

Several yamen runners became interested and asked, "Have you checked around here?"

"You all know that we moved here from outside. When we arrived, we explored along the river bank and found a suitable place."

"That's great, it will save us brothers a lot of trouble, and we won't have to rush so much later."

The village head pretended to be curious and said, "Sir, are you the only ones doing this? The river is too long, we should send more people."

The yamen runners were a little drunk and grabbed the village head, saying that they were being forced out to do hard work.

The village head responded while asking for information, and learned that the two places were more than ten meters deep and suitable for building docks.

The village head pretended to be drunk and muttered something nearby.

"In addition, we have already found three suitable places in our village. It is enough to report them to Lord Wu. We can just deal with them casually in the future, and Lord Wu can take a rest."

It seemed that the speaker had no intention, but those people really took it to heart. They just walked around the river behind and dealt with it for a while, and then went to report when the time came.

After hearing the news from the head of the village, Ye Qing also felt that it was a difficult situation.

The other two plots of land belong to wealthy lords in the city, so they have to make plans early.

Ye Qing thought about this and went to the experimental field.

Ye Dalang was helping to pollinate the wheat, and he also found a few wild wheat plants.

"Brother, how is the wheat this year?"

"Qingya, the weather is good this year, and the wheat is growing well. It looks like it will be a bumper year."

"Brother, it's the grouting season right now, so keep a close eye on it."

"Don't worry, I've been studying this for two or three years, and I know what I'm doing."

Ye Qing looked for a while and took Wangcai to the pond.

The small pavilion by the pond is her favorite place.

Whenever she has trouble figuring out something, she likes to bring Wangcai over.

Lying in the rocking chair, looking at the lotus leaves in the pond and feeling the breeze, I feel very comfortable.

I was thinking about things in my mind, and as the rocking chair rocked me, I fell asleep in no time.

When I wake up, my mind seems to have been cleansed, and I can find solutions to all the problems I can't figure out.

The reason she came here this time was because she was very hesitant and couldn't make up her mind about something.

Now she had an idea in her mind and was ready to go back and talk to her eldest brother.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I met Old Man Ye who was returning from the fields.

"Grandpa, you have the most experience in farming. Do you think we can get the same harvest this year as last year if we use new seeds?"

When Old Man Ye heard about what was happening in the fields, he immediately started talking incessantly.

"I think it's definitely more productive than ordinary wheat, but it can't compare to your brother's few acres of land. He takes care of it too carefully."

Ye Qing felt more confident and stopped worrying about it. He decided to discuss the matter with everyone in the evening and give the decision to his eldest brother.

When they entered the door, they saw Ye Qiu bringing Xiu Bao over to play.

"Dad, Qingya, you guys are back. Xiubao was just talking about you just now, and now you're back."

Old Man Ye liked his granddaughter very much. He took out a grasshopper made of straw from his clothes and gave it to Xiubao.

Xiubao took it happily and thanked him sweetly, which made people's hearts melt.

"Xiubao, do you miss your sister?" Ye Qing pinched her throat to coax the little baby.

Xiubao is almost two years old and her walking is still not very stable. Ye Qing likes to tease her the most.

"I miss my sister."

If Ye Qing hadn't been staring at the grasshopper, he would have believed it.

She took out two candies from her pocket, put one of them in her mouth, and asked Xiubao again.

This time, Xiubao was much more sincere. He gave the grasshopper to Ye Qiu, hugged Ye Qing's arm, and said softly that he liked his sister.

Ye Qing wanted to take out some candies and give them to her. She was so cute and smart.

Ye Qiu was watching from the side and found it funny. "Qingya, please don't give her candy. She coaxes her grandparents to give her candy every day at home."

Ye Qing secretly put another piece in her little pocket and winked at her, and a little secret became between them.

Ye Qiu did not expose the two of them and pretended not to see it. The little girl hadn't eaten her one piece of candy today, so he let her have one.

Zhou was cooking fish in the kitchen, and she used the tofu brought by Ye Qiu to make fish soup.

When it was time to eat, Ye Qiu wanted to leave with Xiubao, but Ye Qing held Xiubao tightly and told them to eat before going back.

Ye Qiu couldn't get Xiubao, so he asked his nephew to tell his family to stay here for dinner.

After dinner, Ye Dalang held Xiubao and sent his aunt back home.

Ping An cried when he saw Ye Dalang holding Xiubao. Although he is young, he is very jealous.

After everyone was done with their work, Ye Qing called his family to discuss the matter.

"Dad, our village is still a little short of building a wharf."

"Qingya, what do you think?" Boss Ye knows his daughter well and never fights a battle without preparation.

"I do have an idea, but I want to hear your opinions, too."

"You said there are no outsiders at home, so we will help you figure it out."

"My brother's experimental field has already achieved an increase of 200 kilograms per mu of land last year, and it is expected to increase this year. In addition, all the other fields in the family have been planted with new seeds, so many people should pay attention to it this year."

"Now people have noticed it. The farmhands at home have all told me that they want to buy the seeds for our family next year." Boss Ye is also an experienced farmer and he could tell at a glance that the wheat was different.

"I originally planned to experiment for a year, wait for the yield to stabilize, and then make plans after the whole village has planted it."

"Qingya, what are your plans? Are you going to sell seeds? There will definitely be a lot of people buying them, so don't worry." Ye Dalang was well aware of the temptation of increased production to farmers.
