The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"
Chapter 64 Returning Home to Receive the Imperial Decree
Seeing that Li Ma and the others didn't bring many wristbands, Jingxue went to Runyue's side, took out thirty disposable bowls, and asked him to distribute them to everyone.
The villagers looked at the transparent bowl but no one asked any questions. After all, the person was a distinguished guest, and it was normal for him to use something new.
When Qin Jing took the bowl from Runyue, he looked at the little girl in front of him and swallowed his words!
After lunch, they continued working. Yu Lizheng and Li Quan came to find Jingxue and Qin Jing.
“Boss, we can finish the frames of these two sheds today, but there are twenty in total! We still need to lay the cloth, so it might take half a month to finish. How about we bring in some more people?” said Yu Lizheng.
Li Quan also said, "Miss, didn't you say we needed to build a few more stoves inside?"
"Are there any able-bodied people left in the village?" Jingxue asked.
“Yes, yes,” Yu Lizheng said repeatedly.
"Boss, today is the first day, and we started late. What I mean is, let's start working as soon as it's light tomorrow and keep working until we can't see anymore!"
Jingxue was amused by his words, "Alright! That's all the work. You can arrange it as you see fit. Starting tomorrow, I'll also take care of dinner!"
"Besides, I can't let you work for nothing, so your wages will be a little higher than the villagers'!"
Knowing that Jingxue was the Princess Consort of the War King, Yu Lizheng quickly said, "This humble servant need not!"
Jingxue raised her hand to stop him, "We must give it! If there are more people to do the work, we'll need to add one or two more people to cook!"
"Thank you very much, boss! Okay! I'll go and ask around tonight."
And so, the plastic greenhouses were built one by one, day by day.
Jingxue no longer needed to follow them around every day. She would occasionally go to the fields to check on the progress, and then teach a few women how to cook in the village.
Qin Jing followed for two days before returning to the capital, saying he needed to finalize matters concerning grain shops and warehouses.
By the sixth day, the work outside the 20 greenhouses was basically finished.
The well-drilling work isn't finished yet, but it's all being done inside the greenhouse, and we're still sweating by noon!
Meanwhile, in the shed where the well had been dug, people had already started irrigating the land and transporting fertilizer, and they were working with great enthusiasm.
This employer provides two meals a day, and doesn't even pay wages.
The food is good, with meat at every meal and plenty of oil in the dishes! Everyone hopes that they can continue working here.
Each greenhouse has several built-in stoves, and there is a kang (heated brick bed) at the entrance that can accommodate one person, which is said to be reserved for the person watching over the greenhouse.
This "kang" (heated brick bed) has piqued the curiosity of many villagers who are working there, and everyone is lining up to have one built for their own homes by the hired bricklayers.
Before, I might have hesitated, but now that I have work, it means I have a little money in my hands, and the bricklayer said he wouldn't ask for much money.
Jingxue has started preparing seeds these past few days; they sell seeds in the agricultural products section of the online store.
However, not everything should be planted; we should think it over carefully.
Although potatoes and sweet potatoes will have to wait until spring to be planted in the ground, some will also be grown in greenhouses. Qin Jing said that his vegetables will be sold to the palace, while Jing Xue's vegetables will be sold to the wealthy people in the capital.
This winter, I'm going to make a fortune off those rich and powerful people. Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Jingxue wasn't in a hurry to return to the capital. She planned to hand over the seeds to several village heads and the head of the village after selecting them, so they could take people to plant them. She wanted to go to Wolong Mountain to take a look.
Just as Jingxue was carefully selecting seeds, the steward of the Prince's mansion arrived.
Seeing the housekeeper, Jingxue was a little puzzled, but the housekeeper, upon entering the courtyard, didn't find it strange to see several women bustling about.
He saw the neat greenhouses at the entrance of the village, with a serial number written on each door!
Needless to say, this is all thanks to the princess in their household. With so many people working, it's normal for a few people to cook in the courtyard.
Jingxue didn't stand on ceremony and asked, "Is there something you need, Steward?"
The steward straightened up and said, "Your Highness, I'm here to fetch grain from the Prince's estate. I've come to pay my respects!"
"Oh! I'm fine!"
The steward didn't know how to continue, but he still forced himself to say, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but these past few days, the potatoes and cornmeal in your shop have been selling very well!"
"This servant even sent someone to buy some more; it's really delicious! Our manor is running low on grain, so His Highness sent me to the estate to fetch some more to take back!"
Jingxue: It would be better if that bastard starved to death!
Butler: We're all family, the princess might let him go to her shop and get some grain directly!
"Oh! Then you can go to his estate to pick it up!"
The steward felt a little disappointed, but quickly smiled and asked, "Your Highness, what are those sheds for?"
This time, Jingxue didn't hide anything: "I want to grow vegetables!"
"Oh! That's wonderful! Your Highness, could you please have Old Guo help me haul some grain back today, and have him come back tomorrow?"
Jingxue: Do you want Lao Guo to go back and use so much nonsense?
"Okay! I'm not in a hurry to go back!"
"Oh! Your Highness, this servant will go and take care of the matter!" The steward bowed and left.
Jingxue worked until midnight and finally used her supernatural abilities to accelerate the germination of all the seeds, which greatly improved the germination rate and disease resistance.
The next day, after breakfast, Jingxue led her people to Yemus's warehouse. She had used her superpower to transport all the seeds over the night before, without even having to leave her house. Her superpower could transport items underground within a 500-meter radius, which was a new discovery for her.
There are nearly 70 people working now, including five women who cook. There are 20 greenhouses, and Jingxue has set aside four greenhouses to grow corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and soybeans respectively.
She wants to familiarize the villagers with the habits of these crops so that they can be planted on a large scale after spring.
The remaining greenhouses are used to grow various vegetables and fruits suitable for the north.
"Miss, do you also plan to build a greenhouse?" Li Quan asked after looking at the plan Jingxue had given him.
Jingxue nodded and said, "Yes! We need to build another one. I want to raise ducks, but that's not in a hurry!"
Li Quan didn't say it aloud, but he thought to himself, "Who knows what kind of year it will be next year? The river has dried up, and the grass isn't growing much. What will the ducks eat?"
Upon arriving at the warehouse and before receiving the seeds, Jingxue instructed everyone that the greenhouses for growing vegetables should be planted in batches, with each batch planted every ten days.
The villagers didn't ask any questions; they just did whatever the owner told them to do!
The most important thing is that the employer pays the wages.
The day before yesterday, the employer settled everyone's wages for the previous days. They were also allowed to ask for grain, and those who wanted to build heated kang beds received money.
The employer said that from now on, there would be expenses at the end of each month. At first, they didn't understand what that meant, but later the employer explained that the expenses meant the wages would be paid!
Jingxue kept a close eye on it, afraid that the wrong seed would be sent.
Just as she was finishing up, Lao Guo came over. Knowing that Jingxue disliked being in the limelight, he led her aside and said, "Your Highness, an imperial decree has arrived from the palace, ordering you to return to your residence to receive it. The steward has sent me to fetch you."
