Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 277 Guoguo Returns to Taohua Village

The women were in the greenhouse, and Guoguo was designing spring coats for them. The two aunts had camel-colored ones, and the eldest and third uncles had black ones. Guoguo had purchased several cloaks from the space, all for the men, and was waiting for them to try out which one they could wear. She also had a lot of underwear. Guoguo was thinking about building a processing room so that the people of Da Yan could wear them. This required fine cotton thread.

Oh, forget it for now, she doesn't have the energy. She said to Ye Heng, "There is a salt mountain waiting to be mined in the northwest of here. Let's mine it together when the road is built and process it into refined salt. Is it iodine-deficient?" Ye Heng asked, "What is iodine?" Guo Guo looked at Ye Heng and said, "It is an element that the human body must have. Without iodine, people will suffer from goiter. Although it is a small amount, it is also necessary. That's why I insist on buying salt to put on the market." Ye Heng said, "I see. I still haven't read enough books." "You are so busy and can't cover everything. I don't blame you. This is knowledge in chemistry books, physics books, and biology books. It can only be known after 5,000 years of cultural accumulation." Ye Heng sighed!

That afternoon, Ye Heng received the authoritative figures here at his home.

Zhang Qingshan, Sun Gui, Chai Xin, Chai Dong, Jia He, Jia Le, Qin Han, Zhang Bingquan, and others. Ye Heng asked Chai Ping'an to come and listen. The prefect also came panting after running a horse to death. Ye Heng asked someone to quickly pour water.

Ye Heng said, "Now that the prefectural officials are here, I will tell you about the overall planning for the prefecture. Spring planting should start as soon as possible throughout Pingjin Prefecture, and winter wheat should be watered, weeded, and fertilized. Road construction is also needed. The main roads from the prefecture to the counties and villages must be widened and flattened. There are people in Taohua Village who know how to make lime. Your Excellency, the Prefect, Fu Guodong, you should arrange for someone to learn how to make it. Loess and lime combined make the road surface solid and won't take up space on shoes. Alternatively, you can use bluestone or blue bricks, but they're more expensive. It's up to you to decide. We're planning a major road from Pingjin Prefecture to Antai Prefecture. Both prefectures will work together on this. If you want to get rich, you must build roads first. With better transportation, business will be much more convenient. Don't worry about Dayan not becoming prosperous! The Prefect should clean up the officials in the prefectural office. Any corrupt officials should be reported directly to this prince." The Prefect said, "Yes, yes. Your Highness, rest assured. I'll investigate when I get back."

He thought, "I have to do this right. My daughter won't say anything good." He looked at Jiale, but Jiale didn't even look at him. He knew the treacherous world of officialdom. Small mistakes might be okay, but big ones would never work. He couldn't understand his son-in-law. His daughter was determined to accept him, and she had chosen this man. Although the betrothal gift was substantial, it was far too little compared to the steward's son. There was nothing to gain from coming to this small village. If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known there were important figures present. The secret guards had brought him in with the regent's token. He saw today. There weren't many high-ranking officials, but none of them were easy for him to mess with. He was horrified. He had never imagined the regent was here!

……

Ye Heng arranged what needed to be done. He continued, "The iron wheels for the carriages are being made by the Ministry of War. If you want them, come here and buy them. They're sold in Taohua County! Sir Zhang,… Zhang Qingshan, upon hearing the prince call his name, stood up and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I'm here." Ye Heng continued, "Do you think the county government should add an inn?" Zhang Qingshan quickly said, "Yes, yes, that would be a good thing. Our county will be even more prosperous." Ye Heng said, "Please sit down." Sir Zhang: "Yes, yes."

A local official should do his job well, comprehensively coordinate and govern the local area, treat the people well, and make them prosperous.

In the afternoon, Ye Heng talked a lot. Sun Gui arranged accommodation for the night. There has been a homestay here for a long time to entertain outsiders. Over the years, there has been an endless stream of people studying here, which has benefited the villagers. The people in their village are well-educated and well-educated, and are very famous. Sun Gui is proud of it. Now he is taking Jia He, the next successor, and his two

His sons were all in the capital and couldn't come back. Sun Gui hosted the prefect for one night, and the next day he said goodbye to Ye Heng and left.

Jiale said nothing as Fu Zhaoxia bid her father farewell. Fu Zhaoxia asked her father to bring some things for her mother, and Jiale arranged for a carriage to take her away. The drivers were all skilled martial artists.

After returning home, Fu Chaoxia followed Jiale back to her room and said, "Just treat my dad as your father-in-law, just like a normal father. I'm just your person and won't say much. A married daughter is part of your family." Jiale said, "I'll know how to handle things." Fu Chaoxia said, "Thank you, Jiale." Jiale smiled and said, "What are you talking about? We're husband and wife. It's my duty to treat your family well. I just hope he doesn't do anything terribly evil. You should also pay attention to it and let your mother-in-law talk to him. They will have a good ending." Fu Chaoxia said, "Yes, I wrote it in the letter to my mother. But I didn't mention our family affairs. Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say." "I married you because of these things. You're a good woman and sensible. Do you think I want you because you're pretty? Don't think too much." Fu Chaoxia nodded. Fu Chaoxia understood everything in her heart. Her father was not something she and her mother could control. She was just doing her best as a daughter! She hoped her father would do more good things and that the prince would take care of him. She hoped he would understand. Jiale said: "Chaoxia, do your thing and don't think too much. At least I will treat you well, and our Chai family will treat you well." "Yeah." Jiale continued: "Follow the eldest sister-in-law, and ask if you don't know." "Yeah, I know. This time in the capital, my mother gave me a silver note of one thousand taels." Jiale said: "You can spend it with what your mother gave you. Our family is not short of money." Fu Chaoxia added: "There are many other things, a big jade stone, which is too precious. It was given by Guoguo." "Give it to you and it's yours. You have the final say on how to use it. We are equal. You respect me, and I love you!" Jiale sat for a while, "I have to go. I will come back to accompany you at night." Fu Chaoxia nodded, "Be careful." Jiale said, "I will. I am still waiting for my old age.

"Hahaha," she laughed, and went out. Fu Zhaoxia was in her room, tidying up. Sweeping the floor, wiping the table, she kept everything clean herself. She loved this home. It didn't have the splendor of a noble family, with its maids and servants, but it was warm, comfortable, and full of love. The harmony of a large family was without any scheming or harm. ...

It’s not that one family doesn’t enter the same house.

Ye Heng helped Guo Guo walk around the village, looking at the sandy land by the river. It had been plowed and was ready for planting. Guo Guo secretly sprinkled some spiritual spring water on her courier. Ye Heng watched Guo Guo work, smiling.

After dinner, the two of them went to Dadi again. Guoguo sprinkled spiritual spring water, and Beidi did the same. This time, he didn't dare let his son make the spiritual spring rain. He just let him play in the water while Guoguo operated. Ye Heng said, "You can make the spiritual spring rain, right?" "Yes, I can. I can do it with a wave of my hand." Ye Heng said, "I won't do it, you're pregnant." Guoguo said, "I know. If it weren't for the child, I would sprinkle spiritual spring rain all over Taohua Village." Ye Heng said, "Yes, yes, my wife is good."

Ye Heng took Guoguo home to rest and returned to Beijing at midnight.

Chai Ping'an's family stayed up all night, accompanying Guoguo. Chai Ping'an said, "Guoguo, grandpa can't bear to see you go!" Chai Ping'an wiped his tears. Guoguo sat next to his grandfather and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't cry, Guoguo misses you. After Guoguo gives birth to the baby, she will come back to live with grandma." Chai Ping'an quickly said, "Guo, don't, don't, how can grandpa let you and Fengxing be separated?" Guoguo said, "No, brother Ye and I will come back, and it will be convenient for our family to live in two places!" Chai Ping'an smiled, "Yeah, that's true. Okay, grandpa will go after the New Year and stay for a while. Just live in both places as you said." "Yeah, it's both our home." Ye Heng also said, "Grandpa, when we are old in the future, we will live together and never separate again." Chai Ping'an was coaxed and said, "Okay, okay, grandpa is waiting for that day." Jiale said, "Dad, my brother and I are with you. You see, you are busier than us every day. Your son has traveled half the village to find you." The whole family was amused by what he said.

Chai Ping'an sent Guoguo out of the village, and then Ye Heng drove the carriage away. The Chai family went home, and Jia He slept with his father tonight. Jia He said, "Dad, you are getting more and more like a child." Chai Ping'an said, "You sleep with your wife in your arms, and I, your father, am so lonely." Jia He was speechless. "Okay, I will send you away in the next six months. Dad, go to sleep." Chai Ping'an was still thinking about Guoguo and said, "Guoguo will be back in the capital by dawn. Your mother said that Guoguo will give birth in July. I thought, I will go there too. Guoguo's pregnancy is particularly difficult. Huanhuan has grown up and still hasn't married, and my sister is about to have five children." Jia He sighed, "I can't help it. Let's not talk about it anymore and go to sleep. There is a lot of work to do tomorrow." "Yes, I should go check on my cattle and sheep."
