After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

"Can you kill him?" Jiang Zhiyun asked, somewhat distrustful.

The main problem is that Ye Qi can't beat Xie Shuheng.

Ye Qi was quite frank: "Even if I can't kill him, it would be my wish to die under Mr. Xie's sword. I will die without regret."

Jiang Zhiyun quickly stood up: "No."

"It hasn't come to that point yet. Mainly, it's not worth risking your life for something like that."

But the more Jiang Zhiyun talked, the more nervous Ye Qi became: "Why can't we risk our lives for something like this?"

"Marriage is a major life event. If Mr. Xie has done something wrong, I will first try to dissuade him. If that fails, I will take action."

Pan Chun also said, "Not to mention Ye Qi, I think the same way. It's just that I can't beat him. If it really comes down to it, if he hurts my wife, I'll take the kitchen knife and fight him to the death!"

"The lady back home, as well as Lady Xiuhe and Lady Cuizhen, all of them dote on their wives."

"At that time, everyone will definitely stand on your side, Madam Jiang."

Jiang Zhiyun had a feeling she couldn't quite describe.

That's reassuring.

Even if we get divorced, with so many people around me, I won't have to worry about anything.

Seeing that everyone was so excited, Jiang Zhiyun had no choice but to tell them the details of what had happened.

After he finished speaking, Ye Qi and Pan Chun were both stunned for a few seconds.

Pan Chun exclaimed excitedly, "I knew that Master Xie was deeply in love with my wife. He's not that kind of person!"

Ye Qi calmly went to lie down on the tree.

"Sir, you have always been incorruptible, there is no doubt about that."

"..."

Seeing the change in the two people's attitudes, Jiang Zhiyun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Fortunately, these two are not gossipy people.

They come, the security.

Since she didn't know what Gu Wanzhi's plans were, Jiang Zhiyun wouldn't waste her time on something as simple as stealing a man.

She has more important things to do.

She first went to the fields to take a look, and found that the chief ministers of agriculture were already extremely busy.

Also, the three people I brought a few days ago—Sanxi, Chen Jing, and Du Hua—are all capable.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyun approach, he quickly bowed and greeted her, saying, "Madam Jiang."

"Madam Jiang, didn't you tell the three of us to go around posting job advertisements yesterday? Today, quite a few farmers, men, women, and children, have come spontaneously, saying they can work for us and asking if we have money!"

"We registered everything immediately and are now waiting for your decision."

"Yes, pay them the day they are hired. As long as they are quick and agile, let them work."

"Whether it's a woman or a teenager, it's fine."

First, we need to recruit workers. Then there are issues like staff allocation, daily inventory counts, and how much money to distribute.

Jiang Zhiyun couldn't possibly stay here and keep an eye on things all the time, and it was obvious that the Grand Ministers of Agriculture couldn't either.

Just as she was fretting, an old man dressed as a farmer with a gourd wine pot tied to his waist appeared beside Jiang Zhiyun.

Without saying a word, he pointed to the three girls, Sanxi and the others, beside Jiang Zhiyun and said, "These three girls have worked hard and put in a lot of effort. But they've put in the wrong effort."

"A single man doing manual labor does more heavy work than the three of you. What are you eating here, just plain rice?"

Jiang Zhiyun was a little confused. The old man was holding a cane and had a limp in one leg.

Could it be a set of rules and regulations?

She wasn't sure yet, but she still humbly asked, "Uncle, what do you think would be a better way to do it?"

"Right now, the only people we can use are all of us here."

Jiang Zhiyun felt somewhat ashamed.

"The recruitment process is already underway. I saw your job posting, and it looks pretty good."

He was fairly satisfied with this: "At present, these girls are capable and clever, but they are really not good at keeping these big men in line to do the work. They might even be teased."

"They record the hours worked and pay you accordingly. They should have that kind of ability."

"It would be best if you could find a few more young women. They should be easy to find and at least literate. If they can't read, you can teach them."

"That can."

Jiang Zhiyun is also going to Huamanlou today to select a few more to bring back.

The old man continued, "Also, dredging the irrigation ditches. Look, those very flat plots in the middle, although not very fertile, we can provide the fertilizer ourselves. I'll lead the others to mix it in. It's perfect for growing rice."

Rice?

Jiang Zhiyun had never imagined that, despite always thinking that the wind and sand here made it difficult for crops to grow, she could actually improve the soil conditions herself. In fact, the wider and flatter the land, the more suitable it is for growing rice.

"That's a good idea. We just need to divert the river water here."

"As for other agricultural techniques, I don't know much about them. I'll have to trouble Teacher Zhang with that. In the future, we'll have to rely on Teacher Zhang Chengze for all matters concerning our fertile fields."

Zhang Chengze was slightly surprised: "You're quite capable, young lady. I haven't said anything yet, and you already know I'm Zhang Chengze?"

"Xie Shuheng's wife is quite capable."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "At least now the fertile fields are in good order, all thanks to you. If these places were abandoned, it would be the common people who would suffer."

Nowadays, the land used for planting all belongs to the local government. After the crops are planted, money must be handed over to the government, and then approved layer by layer by a prefect like Liu Jie. After that, the grain is stored and handed over to the imperial court.

Of course, if the target is exceeded, the surplus can be given to the people, right?

Jiang Zhiyun looked at it and said, "At least we can make a living."

"I can still earn money to buy good food, so I won't starve because of the bad reputation."

When they arrived, they saw many people starving to death on the road.

Although they make a living by herding livestock, how could the poorest people possibly have access to animals?

If they can't afford to buy livestock, how can they herd animals and make money?

"Of course, if one day these fertile fields can be distributed to each household, it would be quite nice to have food and lodging like this."

"Madam Jiang's ideal is too grand. It's impossible to achieve in at least a hundred years, no, at least two hundred years."

Jiang Zhiyun nodded, "Someday."

She believes that one day things will be different.

Fortunately, all Liu Jie wanted was a good reputation and to become a respected figure in a literary family.

People like this value their reputation highly.

Therefore, the common people are a standard of measurement in their eyes, which is why Jiang Zhiyun dared to take on this job.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiyun was about to express her gratitude, Zhang Cheng immediately waved his hand and said, "That's enough. You don't need to say that."

“I know Shuheng’s character. He values ​​you, so I know you’re not simple either.”

"Anyway, I was demoted here, so there's nothing wrong with me helping out. It's a good opportunity to farm here. What I wanted to do most back in Bianjing was to cultivate the land."
