You are my golden finger

The seeds of the crops were brought back, and the clan leader and the village head led people to distribute them to the villagers. The villagers signed their names and stamped their hands on the registration book.

I have to say that the establishment of tribal schools is very beneficial. At least the men and children who go to school have learned to write their own names. Even though some of them are written crookedly, they can still write.

Furthermore, the teacher also taught everyone some basic social etiquette, and the villagers felt that they had become more noble and were no longer illiterate village barbarians.

Several children including "Daya", "Erya", "Goudan" and "Niu Niu" felt that their names were not nice and asked the teacher to help them rename them.

Lin Muhua also came to ask for Lin Xijin's opinion: "Sister Jin, I want to change my name to 'Lin Mujin'. Is that okay? I want to have a name with the character 'Jin' like you."

Lin Xijin didn't care and said to Lin Muhua, "Muhua, it's fine as long as you like it. But I suggest you change it to 'Lin Mujin'. 'Mujin' is a plant with edible leaves, branches and stems with many uses, beautiful flowers and strong vitality. It symbolizes beauty, gentleness, strength and eternity."

Lin Muhua accepted Lin Xijin's suggestion without hesitation and changed her name to "Lin Mujin". From then on, she followed Lin Xijin to study hard and later became a rising star in the medical field.

After the villagers received the seeds, Lin Xijin took several village group leaders to their own fields and more than ten servants from the family's farming team to plant them. Naturally, many villagers who knew the news also followed to learn.

First, we grow the sweet potato seedlings. This does not require any technical skills, because we asked the pig farmers to help with the composting before the New Year, so we just need to prepare the ridges, dig the holes, cover them with a thin layer of soil and fill them.

Then cut the potatoes into pieces, apply wood ash to the cuts, dig holes and bury the potato pieces at a row spacing of one and a half adult's feet and a plant spacing of one foot.

The planting of corn is roughly the same, except that the row spacing should be wider, about the size of two adult feet. Put two corn seeds in each hole and cover with a thin layer of soil.

Lin Xijin also told the villagers that if the land has not been fermented, they can add a handful of base fertilizer to the hole where the seeds are placed and fill it together when planting.

The villagers are all skilled in farming and have experience in growing vegetables and sorghum. They grasped the key points after a brief explanation and went back home to work in the fields.

Lin Xijin assigned the farm work at home to the people in the breeding and raising team, and also brought people to provide guidance on the planting in the farm.

After planting corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sorghum, he led everyone to plant watermelons. After the watermelon seeds were buried, they covered the ground with a layer of dry ferns, which were cut and dried during the land reclamation. Now they were put to good use.

I took some time to check on the growth of the planted fruit trees and medicinal seedlings. Perhaps because of the blessing of the spiritual spring water, there was no death of the seedlings.

After finishing this series of spring planting, Lin Xijin breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing was that the villagers now had something to be busy with and look forward to. There were smiles on their faces and light in their eyes. That was enough.

Although there are still many people in distress outside and I have come here with a mission, I am currently out of reach and can only take care of the people around me first.

Shangguan Rui's people came to deliver crop seeds and brought Lin Xijin a letter from Shangguan Rui, telling her that the medicine shop had become famous in Kyoto, and he had changed the medicine shop into a clinic, added a Chinese medicine cabinet, and invited an old doctor to sit in the clinic. He hoped that she could take time to go to Kyoto to take a look.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, I decided that the only thing I couldn't leave behind was my children. Everything else was easy to deal with. This trip would take at least a month, and if I had to stay for some reason, it might take two months.

The only way to solve this problem is to bring a few small ones with you.

The storytelling session after dinner was a routine. Now, Lin Xijin no longer needed to have the final say in the storytelling session, because the children knew more and more words, so Lin Xijin copied the stories and asked them to read them by themselves, and then asked them to take turns telling stories in the evening.

This not only expands their reading volume and increases their literacy, but also exercises their eloquence.

Several children benefited greatly.

Lin Xijin also plans to find an opportunity to print these manuscripts and add some fresh children's books to this era. Of course, he can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.

After the storytelling session, Lin Xijin asked the children if they wanted to go to Kyoto. The children had never been far away from home, so there was no reason for them not to go. They immediately voted unanimously in favor.

Mu Jin and Xing Wen were very envious. But this time Lin Xijin couldn't take them there, after all, Kyoto was still a strange place for them, and they hadn't established themselves yet.

"I can't take you this time, but I promise you that when you can write and count like Jinlin, and practice martial arts well and can protect yourselves, I will definitely take you out. I can also let you become a manager and make a lot of money like Jinlin." Lin Xijin comforted them.

Several people immediately became excited and said that they would work hard to learn Kung Fu from the guard and learn to read from the teacher.

Lin Xijin also arranged for the family's accountant to take time out to teach the children abacus, and told them to study hard.

"Sister Jin, don't worry, we will study hard, and we will punish anyone who doesn't study seriously in the school."

Lin Xijin asked Chuntao to bring copper coins and candies, and gave each of the children 100 coins and 10 candies, as a reward for teaching adults to read some time ago and to encourage them to continue doing a good job.

After receiving the money and candy, some of them patted their chests and vowed to do it!

Grandma Qi said that she was old and didn’t want to travel, so she wanted to stay and take care of the house, and told Lin Xijin to just take the children with her!

Lin Xijin therefore decided to take the five children, along with Nanny, Chuntao, Qiuyan, and two guards to Kyoto.

After making the decision, Lin Xijin asked Uncle Mu Xiong to modify the carriage, and to make some shock-absorbing treatments and cushions.

A carriage had to be left at home. With so many people, they also had to carry a cart of finished medicines and some high-end liquor, so there were not enough carriages. However, Shangguan Rui had already thought about it for her, so she just had to go to Manager Li to make the arrangements.

Of course, a series of things in the village and at home also need to be arranged.

Lin Xijin first went to find the clan leader, told him about his trip, and left him three hundred taels of silver for emergency.

The clan leader refused, saying that he had some extra money from the New Year gift and that he didn't have any big expenses right now. He only accepted it after Lin Xijin insisted.

"Uncle, I will be back soon. By then, the pigs will be ready for slaughter, and the fish in the pond with the big fish fry can be netted and sold. If I am not back by then, the owner of the restaurant in town will send someone to fetch them, so you don't have to worry."

"Girl Jin, don't worry. I will take care of the clan's affairs. I will also help you take care of the house."

He poured more spiritual spring water into the pond and left some fish and duck feed in the warehouse at home.

I filled the pond at home with spiritual spring water, and watered all the medicinal herb seedlings, watermelon seedlings, and fruit trees on the mountain before I felt at ease.

Lin Xijin was worried that the plants would be destroyed by small animals, so she whistled and called the big tiger and the wolves to feed them well. She told them to keep an eye on the mountain and especially not to hurt people. The leader wolf and the big tiger rubbed her feet and agreed.

After arranging everything at home, the day agreed with Manager Li arrived. Manager Li sent five carriages, one for passengers, four for freight, and four people on horses. It was obvious that all seven of them were martial artists.

"Miss Lin, my name is Shangguan Kai. We are sent by our master to escort you to Beijing." The leader of the group clasped his fists and said to Lin Xijin.

After greeting each other, they loaded the goods, two trucks of finished medicine, two trucks of strong liquor, and of course more were stored in the space. Of course, Duoduo and Mimi were also on the trip, but Duoduo was in the space and Mimi was in Jin'an's arms.

Lin Xijin asked the two guards at home to ride horses as well, and then six carriages and six horses set off.
