Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen was right about the person. It was right to entrust this matter to Lan Ying, and she did not disappoint her expectations.

After all employees' salaries were paid, Lanying had sold more than 8000 locks.

Basically everyone had one, and families bought one.

Zhao Yuanzhen was not worried. It didn't matter if they were not sold out. She could just put them back in the grocery store and continue selling them.

By mid-May, all the fields had been cultivated, and Zhao Yuanzhen began to organize people to plant vegetable gardens and orchards.

As for vegetables, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, beans, cowpeas, winter melons, pumpkins, garlic, ginger, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. have also begun to be planted.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought all the seedlings in large sizes, so that after planting them, they will bloom and bear fruit soon after they have grown.

She has 200 acres of pepper plantations, and she will continue to make chili sauce.

500 acres of potatoes and 200 acres of sweet potatoes were planted, and the rest were planted according to the standards of being enough to feed the number of people, and also for drying vegetables and storing winter vegetables.

In the orchard, Zhao Yuanzhen planted 200 acres of watermelons, 200 acres of cantaloupe, 50 acres of strawberries, 50 acres of blueberries, as well as various beans, yams, taro, etc.

After all the plants were planted, it was cloudy, so Zhao Yuanzhen bought a rain charm and it rained moderately within a radius of 50 kilometers for two hours, giving all the fruits, vegetables and crops a full drink of water.

Everyone was sighing at the good weather, saying that the rain came at just the right time.

Zhao Yuanzhen smiled slightly after hearing this.

The breeding area had been built before, but because of my busy family life, I didn’t buy any cubs and put them in.

So, he led the transport team to start various transportation activities.

Buy 400 male piglets and 100 female piglets, 1000 roosters and 1000 hens for chicks, and 1000 male ducks and 1000 female ducks.

There are 500 male sheep and 200 female sheep.

Zhao Yuanzhen allocated another 100 breeders and assigned them to the breeding areas.

Raise all the cubs.

A spring was also placed in the breeding area, and a large living water pool was surrounded by sand, gravel and cement for the ducks to move around.

Except for the workshops, most of the buildings in Zhangjiazhuang have been completed.

Twelve warehouses were built, eight cellars were dug, one of which was a wine cellar, one was an ice cellar, and the rest were cellars for vegetables and fruits.

Zhao Yuanzhen started to green Zhangjiazhuang. Otherwise it would be barren without any green, which would be really ugly.

In front of each canteen, a large flower bed was built, and various flowers and plants were planted in it according to the layout of the flower beds at home in Beijing.

A long corridor was built, and the low-maintenance, cold-resistant creepers were planted on both sides of the corridor.

Wolfberry trees should still be planted around the wall.

Plant sycamore trees 5 meters away from the wolfberry trees. Plant two circles.

The rest is planted with various trees that can be grown in the north, such as mulberry trees, pepper trees, willow trees, pine trees, etc.

We also planted a lot of shrubs and trees wherever possible, including those that require little care and have bulbs and can survive the winter.

Many flower beds of varying sizes were built.

On both sides of the gate, trees, shrubs, flowers and plants were planted, just like in the homes in the capital.

She planted several pomegranate trees and jujube trees in her small yard, as well as many flowers and plants, especially those that repel mosquitoes and insects.

After the crops were harvested, Zhao Yuanzhen mobilized all the idle farmers to the mountains. They first took care of the forests, and then began to plant various medicinal seeds that were suitable for the growth environment according to the geographical location of each forest.

Ginseng, Angelica dahurica, Polygonum multiflorum, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Bupleurum chinense, Scutellaria baicalensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Platycodon grandiflorum, Isatis indigotica, Pinellia ternata, etc.

Zhao Yuanzhen selected the seeds and sowed them.

As long as no one goes up the mountain to harm the sown seeds, these medicinal herbs will be almost mature in just over a year.

The courtyard of the government building has also been completed.

Zhao Yuanzhen named it [Service Hall].

Simple and crude.

The government affairs hall has set up inspection group, financial group, procurement group, personnel group, logistics group, farming group, discipline inspection group, security group, etc.

The inspection team is responsible for checking the sanitation conditions of dormitories, canteens, Zhangjiazhuang courtyard, and other places.

Finance is the management of various expenditures, income and employee salaries.

The security team needs to select a group of strong men and start teaching them sword skills and archery. These are to protect Zhangjiazhuang and the tens of thousands of acres of farmland.

An office has been set up for each group and decorated like a workshop.

All the people in the service hall are Zhao Yuanzhen's own people, and they have all taken loyalty pills, so Zhao Yuanzhen feels relieved.

All matters have been specifically divided. If there is anything, Zhao Yuanzhen can just find the person in charge.

Zhang Yu was appointed as the chief steward, in charge of everything.

In this way, Zhangjiazhuang can operate normally when Zhao Yuanzhen is not around.

After most of the things at the farm were done, Zhao Yuanzhen started to build a shop.

There are not many shops in Xiaoshan County now, and Zhao Yuanzhen feels that he should contribute to the economic development.

She owns 28 shops, but basically all of them need to be rebuilt.

According to the business she wanted to do, she wanted to open a grocery store, a fruit and vegetable store, a ceramic store, a bookstore, a storytelling store, and a drink and dessert store. She planned to open both the drink and dessert stores together. After all, the consumption in Xiaoshan could not catch up with that in the capital.

Grain shops, wine shops, clothing shops, clinics, snack shops, freight shops,

Zhao Yuanzhen designed the sizes of the shops according to the specific business of each shop when they were built.

Every shop also has a backyard, which is used for shop assistants and storekeepers to live in, and can also be used as a warehouse.

Many of the raw materials for these shops are in the farms in Beijing, so Zhao Yuanzhen decided to go back to Beijing to get the goods.

She called all the managers together and distributed detailed plans for various tasks, including weeding and watering the fields, planting and picking the vegetable gardens, and selling the ripe fruits in the orchard. The fruits of this season are cherries.

Zhao Yuanzhen instructed that when the cherries came down, each person would get 2 kilograms, and the remaining 500 kilograms would be sent to the military camp for Zhao Yuanlan, and the rest would be made into cherry pancakes. She was not there, and she was afraid that they would not be able to find a way to sell them in Yanshan Prefecture.

He left behind two months' wages, as well as enough food and money for vegetables.

After everything that needed to be explained was explained, Zhao Yuanzhen set out early the next day. She walked on her own because it was faster to ride a horse.

They hurried and hurried, sometimes even at night, and after 14 days they finally arrived at the Yellow River ferry.

"Madam! Madam is back! Hello, Madam!"

As soon as she arrived at the ferry, the ferryman saw her and shouted in surprise.

Zhao Yuanzhen handed the horse to the servant, and then followed the big bamboo raft to the other side.

Her room had been cleaned all the time and was now very clean. After washing up, she had a good rest before getting up to inspect the ferry.

The markets have become larger and more prosperous, and six more shops have been rented out, with the contracts all signing for a 6% interest rate on rent.

The vegetable garden is also being managed very well. They have saved the seeds from the vegetables that Zhao Yuanzhen brought out last year and have already planted them early. Only the breeding area is still empty. The pigs she bought before have almost been slaughtered, and she has to go to the warehouse in the county town to place a batch of piglets tomorrow.

The food here was delivered by the transport team. Zhang Xinbai would come here to stay for a while from time to time. In addition, there was a newly trained ferry manager, so everything went smoothly at the ferry and nothing went wrong.

I checked the account books of each shop, reconciled the accounts, and then went to the rented shops to check their account books and collect the rent.

There were four little girls in the clinic who she had previously brought with her to study medicine. This time, Zhao Yuanzhen planned to take two of them with her to Yanshan Prefecture.

Based on the principle of voluntariness, all four of them volunteered to go. Let's hold our heads high and draw lots.

Take the two people who drew the lot away and let them return to the capital together with the transport team.

These few days are considered as a holiday for them to rest, so that they can pack their things and leave together when she leaves.

She rested at the ferry for most of the day, and left early the next morning. She went to the yard in the county town and placed various piglets, chickens, ducks, sheep, etc., and asked the transport team to deliver them over.

She went back to the capital directly.

When she arrived in Beijing, it was almost evening, so she went straight to the beauty salon. She wanted the one-stop massage she had missed for a long time.

"Hello, Madam. Madam is back."

"Well, call a good masseur to give me a massage."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Yuanzhen found an empty massage room and went in.

After a while, the massage technician came over and started giving Zhao Yuanzhen facial cleansing care.

The force was moderate and the technique was comfortable. Slowly, Zhao Yuanzhen fell asleep. She was in a daze and when she was asked to turn over, she did.

By the time you wake up from a deep sleep, the massage is done.

Seeing that she woke up, the technician went to get water and prepared to give her a foot massage.

I have been traveling a lot these days, and even though I was riding a horse, my whole body was sore. After the massage, I felt a lot more relaxed and very comfortable.

She asked the kitchen to prepare a few of her favorite dishes, and asked for some sweet soup and drinks. The maid also brought her some fruits that had just been sent from the orchard.

Listening to the little music, slowly enjoying the food, I feel alive.

comfortable.

After careful selection, I found some music and dances, printed them out, and gave them to the music group, asking them to practice them well.

After a satisfying night's sleep, I felt full of energy the next day and planned to inspect the shop.

She went to a grocery store first and asked the owner to prepare a portion of all the items sold in the store. She was going to take them away and open another grocery store, so she had to prepare large quantities of each item, at least enough for a year.

The shopkeeper hurried to do it, as it was a complicated and huge project, and he had to do it quickly.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave him 10 days.

She also planned to stay in Beijing for about 10 days and then return to Xiaoshan County.

I went to the drink and dessert shop to have a look.

This season is the season for sweet soups and drinks, and both shops are doing brisk business. They also have ice cubes, which were collected in the farm last winter.

This is exactly the result Zhao Yuanzhen wanted. She could be self-sufficient without relying on her or the system.
