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

When they returned to the courtyard after their inspection, Uncle Li had already returned from the capital.

Seeing the girl come back, Uncle Li immediately reported the situation in the mansion to Zheng Sisi.

"Girl, when I went back, the potatoes and sweet potato sprouts had already grown very long. According to the planting method on the farm, five mu of land was used to plant potatoes, and four mu of land was used to plant sweet potato seedlings.

The land around the lotus pond has been reclaimed, and there is about one and a half acres of land left to be planted, which can be used to transplant vegetable seedlings. The first vegetable seedlings have four leaves, and people in the mansion say they are more beautiful than the flowers they planted. "

Zheng Sisi was happy: "It's all good news. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li."

Uncle Li said, "Miss, I am happy to help you no matter how hard it is. And Aunt Li asked me to tell you a few words."

Zheng Sisi frowned: "Did something happen in the mansion?"

Uncle Li: "No, Nanny Li asked me to tell the young lady that many people have come to visit her in the past few days. They are all wives of officials, and they are asking her when she will return home intentionally or unintentionally."

When Zheng Sisi heard this, she looked at the third prince and they both understood what it meant. Most of these people should be from the Ministry of Works.

Zheng Sisi: "Uncle Li, I was just about to say that. We will be back home tomorrow, and the vegetable seeds and seedlings here will have to be handed over to you and Xia Sicheng. You just need to take care of these seedlings for the time being, and I will come back when it's time to transplant them."

Then Zheng Sisi explained many precautions in caring for the seedlings, and Uncle Li respectfully accepted the instructions.

Several maids did not go out in the afternoon. They wanted to pack their luggage. Zheng Sisi emphasized again and again: "Just pack some commonly used things. Put the things here. You will come back soon. There is no need to move them around."

Several maids nodded, but after choosing and choosing, they felt that they all needed to be taken back.

Zheng Sisi was speechless and didn't say much. She wanted to go out for a walk.

Seeing the girl was about to go out, Rose followed her.

Zheng Sisi planned to visit where the farmers and tenants lived.

When the Third Prince saw that she was about to go out, he gave a few instructions to the guards and followed her out.

The three of them didn't walk far when two more people caught up with them. Zhong Ruiyu's voice could be heard from a distance: "Wait for me!"

Zheng Sisi ignored them and continued walking along the road, knowing they would follow her.

When we arrived at the residential area, it was very clean and each courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence.

Many doors are closed, probably because everyone has gone to work in the fields. The doors of houses that are open are occupied by the elderly and their children, who are the non-labor force.

Zheng Sisi and her friends walked around and found that the situation in both places was similar. The older children, both boys and girls, had their own jobs, such as cutting grass for pigs, driving ducks to drink water and forage for food, and collecting firewood.

Zheng Sisi was puzzled and said to the third prince, "How come such a big manor doesn't have a school?"

The third prince was stunned: "Children from farming families rarely go to school, because the tuition is very high and they can't afford it."

Zheng Sisi: “So they have been farmers for generations.”

The Third Prince: "There are also villages that use the whole village's strength to send a smart child to school, but the cost is very high. Because the students trained may not necessarily get good grades. The imperial examinations are very difficult for such students. They don't have good teachers and no connections with the court. It's already very good to be able to reach the level of a scholar. To go beyond that, you have to be extremely outstanding and be valued and trained by some dignitaries."

Zheng Sisi: "You don't have to take the imperial examination to learn to read and write! There are 360 ​​professions, and there are top scholars in every profession. After learning to read and write, you will be exposed to a wider range of things and learn more knowledge. Won't that make your work and life better?"

The Third Prince: "Well, many people who have read a little can find jobs as accountants and shopkeepers, and the monthly salary is also higher."
