Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

The next day, after breakfast, the children took the initiative to go to the family school. Even though the children sent by Old Lady Li were in her own house, there would always be an adult accompanying them to school.

Guoguo took his men and drove a carriage to Xiaowangzhuang. Qin drove the carriage and said, "Master, we haven't seen you for a long time. We all miss you." Guoguo: "As long as you are doing well, I will feel relieved." Haha!

Qi: "Master, we just want to work with you." Guoguo laughed and said, "Shu, do you have a boyfriend?" Shu: "Master! You only know how to make fun of us. I don't want a boyfriend, I just want to follow you, Master. As long as I have food to eat and clothes to wear, I'm content!" He is an orphan, taken in by the prince, and he has been trained. Fortunately, he has survived and now he lives a good and self-sufficient life with the master. Guoguo: "Hey, you sleep alone, don't you want to find someone to warm the bed?" Shu: "It's not cold in our house in winter." Hua: "Master, she is not cold. If she is cold, she will run in the yard. She is so fast that I can't catch up with her."

Guoguo laughed out loud, "Weird!" Thinking of modern people, most of them, whether men or women, are extremely selfish.

Guo Guo: "When I have time, this princess will hold a banquet and find men for you!"

They laughed and joked all the way and soon left the city and arrived at Xiaowangzhuang. Guoguo was very happy to see that new houses had been built. The old soldiers now had houses to live in. Guoguo asked the person in charge and learned that the old soldiers had been resettled.

Guoguo asked some more questions, and Guoguo was very satisfied with what he said. "Go and get busy! I'll find you if there's anything else." Steward Wang: "Okay, Master."

After dinner, Guoguo went out to the fields. She left Shu and Hua at home. She took Qin and Qi with her. At the edge of the field, Guoguo pulled out a large machine and taught Qin and Qi how to operate it. Xiao Shunzi chopped the stalks in the back, plowed the land, and sowed. In just one night, they finished working four thousand acres of land, and the grain was piled in the open space. Winter wheat was planted.

Guoguo had a rain and watered the fields.

Qin: "Master, let's go back!" Guoguo: "Yes, we're all tired." They returned to the farm, ate, and slept. Shu and Hua stayed outside, guarding the farm. No one was allowed to disturb them. Guoguo didn't wake up until nightfall. After eating, they left twenty more cows in Qin's care for the veterans.

The next day, several people returned home in a carriage.

Jiaxing also farms over a thousand acres of land. Guoguo hasn't seen her uncle in the past few days. Chai Zhen: "That guy is very busy."

Chai Ping'an: "Oh, so many fields to plant!" Guoguo: "Grandpa, how many fields do you plant at home?" Chai Ping'an, cough, said embarrassedly, "I also plant more than ten acres of crops! And more than ten acres of vegetables!" He was embarrassed to say it himself. Chai Zhen smiled and said, "Son, don't get tired!" Chai Ping'an: "I'm not very tired, I have oxen to plow the fields, and the guards in the mansion help to plant the fields." Guoguo was okay with it.

Guoguo: "Let's sell it all." Chai Ping'an knew that all the food at home was from Guoguo, and that the food was delicious. "Okay." Although Chai Ping'an was reluctant to sell the food he grew himself, he still agreed to sell it.

Guoguo: "The Ministry of Revenue collects our grain all year round. Grandpa can sell whatever he wants." Chai Ping'an knew.

There was still plenty of food on the mountain, so Guoguo didn't go there. Chai Zhen took a horse-drawn carriage. A few days later, he came back and said, "The food is stored on the mountain." Guoguo asked, "Is there enough food in the warehouse?" Chai Zhen said, "Yes, we've sold all the food from last year." Guoguo said, "Okay."

Chai Zhen: "Your second uncle is in charge of the ledger. If you want to see it, go find him."

Guoguo: "Yeah. Great Grandpa, have you asked the people in the mountains if they have enough food? Is there any surplus?" Chai Zhen thought about it and didn't know why Guoguo said that. "No, Guoguo." Guoguo: "Great Grandpa, don't worry about it. I'll ask Second Uncle." Chai Zhen: "Okay."

Guoguo returned to the house and called Qin and Qi, asking them if they knew what was happening on the mountain. Qin said, "I don't know." Guoguo said, "Go and find out for yourself how my second uncle collects the grain, how he distributes it to the people in the mountains, and what other arrangements he makes. Tell me everything in detail." Seeing Guoguo's seriousness, Qin said, "Okay, I'll go right away!" Qin and Qi rode off at full speed. Guoguo was worried that her second uncle was being too strict and the people wouldn't have enough to eat, wear, or use.

Jiaxing found out later and went to see Guoguo, "Guoguo, don't worry. Even if someone has no labor force, your uncle won't let them starve to death." Guoguo: "Uncle, our family just wants to keep busy. Even if you don't move, you won't lack food." Jiaxing: "Uncle, you know, I collect 30% of the grain. In good years, we will collect more grain, and in less years, we will collect less. As for the rest, whoever plants more will have more surplus grain. There are plenty of vegetables in the mountains. If you go and see, they are all plump, and there are no thin people." Guoguo smiled.

Later, Qin came back from inquiring and said, "Second Master is doing a good job. The people are living well." Guoguo: "Yeah. Go and have a rest."

Guoguo hasn't been there for a long time. I'm thinking of going there tomorrow and then visiting the college.

The next morning, Guoguo and his four beauties drove a horse-drawn carriage to the outskirts of Beijing. In the mountains, he saw people happily discussing the bumper harvest. Some were picking cowpeas, harvesting soybeans, and gathering sorghum. The grass huts were filled with cowpeas.

Guoguo asked, "How many times a year do we harvest grain?" A woman said, "We can plant twice a year and harvest grain twice. This season it's all our surplus grain! Hahaha, I had foresight and came here when the first batch of people were harvesting." Guoguo: "Then how much grain do we harvest the first time and how much grain do we hand over?" The woman said, "We harvest grain once a year and only need 30% of it. Every household has surplus grain, and we sell what we can't eat. We harvest grain in our own villa. We can also sell the vegetables we can't finish eating. The college also collects vegetables, and the price is the same as in the city. It's very close and convenient." Several ladies talked about the good things about this place.

Guoguo: "If you have any problems, go find Xiao Shunzi." The women: "We know. He's the manager here, and he's a very nice person." Guoguo: "You guys go ahead and do your work."

Qin: "A lot of wasteland in the mountains has been mined and turned into crops and vegetables, as well as some medicinal herbs. It's on the back hills."

We have people who specialize in collecting and growing herbs, and we sell them in our own pharmacies." Guoguo: "Hmm. How many pharmacies are there now?" Qin smiled and praised, "There are fifteen large pharmacies in the capital alone, and hundreds of doctors. Other cities also have pharmacies and doctors, and the number is still increasing. Master Chen is very capable!" Guoguo smiled, "Hmm."

They went all the way to the college, and the gatekeeper opened the gate and the carriage stopped in front of the Xingzhi Building. Li Jingwen watched the carriage arrive. He knew who was coming since he could walk here! He opened the door and stood at the door, looking at Guoguo. As soon as Guoguo got off the car, she saw Li Jingwen and felt embarrassed. Guoguo got off, took out a big basket of fruits while the door curtain was blocking her, and got out of the car, saying, "Grandpa Li, Guoguo is here to see you!" Guoguo's face was full of smiles. Li Jingwen: "You little bitch, you left me here and ignored me. I can't eat delicious food anymore! It's so bitter!"

Don't hit a smiling person, Li Jingwen opened the door and let Guoguo in. Guoguo went to boil water and make tea for Li Jingwen herself. "Grandpa Li, dear Guoguo, I'm sorry. I just came back and came to see you!" Li Jingwen: "Well, that's better. I'm old and want to go home to visit." Guoguo said when she heard it, "Grandpa Li, you can't leave!" Li Jingwen: "I want to go home to visit before coming back. Who knows! I may never go back!" Guoguo agreed immediately: "Okay, Grandpa Li, when are you going to go back? I will arrange someone to take you back." Li Jingwen: "The exam is coming soon, once a year. Let's finish the exam!" Guoguo: "Okay. Qin, measure the clothes for Master Li." "Okay." Qin took out a ruler and measured the size. Master Li took a look and said, "Okay, I will make a nice dress to wear too!" Guoguo: "Grandpa Li, is Li Qi coming back?" Li Jingwen: "Come home with me to visit, and then come back."

Guoguo: "Okay. I'll pick you up when I get back!" The grandfather and grandson drank tea. Li Jingwen ate some fruit and said, "The tea you make is still the best! The fruit is sweet." Guoguo: "Guoguo will come often and make tea for you!"

Li Jingwen: "Well, okay, it's a deal. I won't stay at home to enjoy my old age. I'll come here to drink Guoguo's tea." Guoguo nodded vigorously, "Okay!" Guoguo thought to himself, I have to keep you no matter what!

Guoguo: "Master Li, I still have to go to the border to take a look. The seaside is not stable yet. Battles happen from time to time!" Li Jingwen: "Hey, when has there been no war in the world! This is not bad. Most of the people have food to eat and clothes to wear. I whispered, I know that most of it is your wisdom, the gospel brought to Dayan." Guoguo: "That's also because the people are hardworking and kind!" Li Jingwen: "Yes, yes!"

Li Jingwen stroked his beard and said, "I have witnessed the changes in Dayan over the years. With wise rulers and loyal ministers, there are more scholars in the world, the country is better governed, and the people's lives are better. It's getting better and better!"

Guoguo: "Well, I also hope that the common people can live well!" The two of them, one old and one young, had a very pleasant conversation.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Guoguo said, "Grandpa Li, I'm going back. I will come to see you often." Li Jingwen: "Okay, okay!"

Li Jingwen watched the carriage leave and stood at the gate for a long time, unable to recover. He had been drinking tea for so many years that he had long understood the trick. A very extraordinary girl! She was sent by God to save Da Yan!

Li Jingwen sat back on his chair—the sofa, which was very comfortable—and drank tea and ate some fruit.

……

The war is almost over, Guoguo is here!

Mr. Li is thinking about the family and the country!
