The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue heard from the well-drilling master that if there were water droplets in the basin when she got up early tomorrow, it meant that several buckets of water could be drawn from there every day!

A few buckets of water aren't enough!

Back at the manor, Qin Jing looked at the plan and drawings made by Jing Xue and thought they were feasible, so he began to consider participating again.

“Aren’t you afraid I won’t be able to do it? After all, there’s no precedent for large-scale vegetable planting in winter!” Jingxue said.

"Precedents are set by people, so what am I afraid of? Besides, once it succeeds, my Mingyue Tower will become incredibly popular. It will be the only one of its kind in the capital! It will be hard not to make money! Moreover, it can be promoted to various prefectures."

It must be said that Qin Jing is a natural businessman; his keen business sense allows him to quickly detect potential business opportunities.

Moreover, he knew that the other party must possess some unique resources; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so bold as to plan and construct ten greenhouses. All of this indicated that Jingxue's plan was not unfounded, but rather based on thorough preparation and confidence.

Based on his experience and intuition, Qin Jing was determined to get involved.

"How far are your and the Fourth Prince's estates from here? Some materials need to be stored at your estates. I need to cook lunch for the villagers, and there's no room for them."

“Our estate isn’t far from here. Third Brother’s estate is in Dayangshu Village. He has more land than us, about 200 mu!”

Jingxue didn't reply. Qin Jing touched his nose, not daring to say anything more, for he had said too much again!

“Sister-in-law, I saw in your plan that the cost of building one greenhouse is about 50 taels of silver. I’d like to build 10 greenhouses, is that alright? Don’t worry! I’ll send all the vegetables I grow, except for what I use in my own restaurant, to the palace!”

“One acre can build two houses. If you’re going to do it, build them side by side! Tomorrow, mark out more than ten acres of land. If you have any capable people under you, it would be best to send two over. With so many people working, you need to manage everything well!” Jingxue said.

"No problem, both Lao Si's and my farm managers are capable. I'll have them come over!"

"Okay! Building this greenhouse isn't actually that difficult. Once the framework is up, it's simple. Just pay attention to a few points!"

Qin Jing nodded, "Sister-in-law, when will you send the materials to our place?"

"Go now! Remember, your men must keep quiet!"

"rest assured!"

"Oh right, the 50 taels is just for the materials, not for labor! Yu Lizheng said the villagers might want grain, so I told them to choose, silver or grain is fine!" Jingxue said, remembering this.

Qin Jing said, "Sister-in-law, let's do this: you have someone keep the accounts, and once the land is planted, we'll split all the costs equally. Just give me a number!"

Jingxue nodded in agreement.

She summoned Runyue and asked her to accompany her to Qin Jing's estate. As they walked, Jingxue used her consciousness to order materials for 20 greenhouses from the online store, and Duobao Mall also provided tools for free.

Qin Jing and Ye Musi's estate is also occupied by married couples, and Qin Jing said that their children all work in the Duke's mansion.

Both of them had a large warehouse on their estates to store grain, but Qin Jing said that the grain harvested in the past two years had not filled even one warehouse.

Before leaving, Jingxue put the building materials for the 20 greenhouses into the warehouse, only reminding Qin Jing to have someone keep an eye on them.

The next day, right after breakfast, Yu Lizheng brought over the villagers who were working, followed by some villagers and children who were watching the heat.

Jingxue had already put rice, noodles, vegetables, and meat in the kitchen last night.

The two women who came to cook both looked quite efficient. One of them was Yu Lizheng's eldest daughter-in-law. Li Ma led the two of them to the kitchen.

“Boss, what do you think of these people?” Jingxue had told Yu Lizheng yesterday that he could just call her “Boss”.

Jingxue looked around and saw that they were all young and strong men.

"Alright! We'll leave once Prince Qin arrives!"

One of the villagers who had come to watch asked, "Boss, we can also do the work, do you need any more people?"

Looking at the villagers' eager eyes, Jingxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Once the greenhouses are built, we'll definitely need people. Anyone who knows how to grow vegetables, men or women, is welcome!"

"Really! That's great! Now I don't have to go out looking for work!"

"If it's true, I'll have my second son come back from the city too!"

"That's great! I'd be so relieved if my daughter could find some work near home! Our lives would be much easier!"

The villagers were talking all at once, and several children were already playing with the three little ones in the family!

During the rebellion, Runyue still had to go to the fields with Jingxue. The fields were full of materials for work, and Jingxue was afraid of running into them, so she asked her and An'an to stay home and watch over Yingying. Li Ma was busy cooking and didn't have time, so she didn't bother to go with Jingxue anymore.

At this moment, Qin Jing arrived with the well-drilling men and two village foremen.

Jingxue handed the list of materials she had prepared the night before to one of the village heads, saying that they would first mark the ground and dig the foundation today.

Upon arriving at the field, Yu Lizheng and Li Quan arranged for people to start working.

Jingxue and Qin Jing followed the well-drilling team to check on the results of yesterday's water source exploration.

Sure enough, the basins in the two dry underground spots were empty, while the other basins contained some water droplets.

The villagers who were watching the spectacle were amazed. Now that they had found a water source, they decided to start digging a well!

The foundation for the greenhouses didn't need to be very deep. With so many people working on the crops year-round, the foundations for two greenhouses were dug in half a day.

The head of Qin Jing's estate was surnamed Du. Jingxue gave him the list, so Head Du led a few people to carry the materials.

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers was not leaving, Jingxue said, "I will need some firewood for burning in the future. If you have time, you can go and cut some and keep it at home. I will buy it from you when I need it!"

"Really? Then I'm going into the mountains to chop firewood!"

"I am coming too!"

Seeing that two people were going, Jingxue reminded them, "Be careful when you go into the mountains!"

"understood!"

Qin Jing looked at Jing Xue. What a wonderful person this cousin-in-law was! Why couldn't his third cousin get along with her? He was annoyed when he thought about his mother's talk about arranging a marriage for him the day before yesterday. He wished his future wife could be more like Jing Xue.

Among the villagers working was a man named Zhao Liang. His father was a carpenter, and he was quite clever; he could understand some of the blueprints that Jingxue brought.

Once the materials and tools arrived, he was able to get started quickly.

He initially thought it was wood, but then the things seemed like iron, yet not quite. He watched as a woman from the landlord's household held a spinning object that could cut the pipe in an instant.

They said it was pipes, but that's what the owner told me. And that nail-driving thing—it can drive the nail in with a "bang," without even needing a hammer!

At noon, Li Ma came with two women and three little ones to deliver lunch.

Three women carried loads on shoulder poles. Runyue and An'an each carried a bamboo basket filled with steamed buns! Yingying also carried a small bundle of chopsticks!

Li Ma and the others made two dishes: one was braised cabbage with pork, and the other was stir-fried mushrooms with potato slices.
