There is Room For the Poor Daughter

When he first came to Ganzhou Guard, Xiao Yeyang devoted himself to military training and defense. Only by ensuring the safety of Ganzhou Guard and defending Xiliao people can Ganzhou Guard develop.

Daohua is also busy, busy reclaiming wasteland, busy opening shops, busy building pastures.

Ganzhou Guard is the poorest of the nine guards in Xiliang, and has the smallest population. In addition, it is the closest to Xiliao. It has suffered from war all the year round, and its economic development has been seriously hindered.

What she has to do now is to grow a large amount of grain and spread the grain, so that the people here can see hope and ease their livelihood. As long as the people here live well, they will naturally attract people from other places to come.

The imperial court did not give much support to Xiliang. In order for Xiao Yeyang to make achievements here, in addition to establishing a complete military defense system, he also had to have a matching material production and supply system.

Obviously, food is the most important part of it.

Therefore, Daohua pays more attention to barren sloping land than shops and pastures.

The iron shop brought shovels and other agricultural tools, and Daohua immediately sent Yan Shouhou to deliver the things to the slope.

"Girl, Master Tan from the carpenter shop made a trolley. I want you to come over and see if it suits you?"

Daohua immediately went to the front yard.

The trolleys on Ganzhouwei’s side have two wheels and are relatively large. On flat ground, one person can still pull them. However, on sloping ground, one person needs to pull forward and one person pushes back.

What she asked the carpenter to do was single-wheeled, and the body was so small that it could be pulled by one person even on a slope.

Seeing the single-wheeled trolley made by the carpenter, Daohua saw that the stability and firmness were quite high, so he nodded with satisfaction and looked at Master Tan: "I need this trolley urgently. How many can you make every day?"

Master Tan: "The trolley that Madam asked for is easy to make. With a few of my apprentices, I should be able to make about five carts a day."

Daohua shook her head: "Not enough." After speaking, she paused, "Master Tan, I need a thousand trolleys, and I will give you this order directly."

"You can ask for help, or you can ask a carpenter you know to do it together. I don't care how the process is, as long as you hand me twenty to thirty trolleys every day, if you can make more, then most."

"Of course, there can be no problem with the quality of the trolley. Master Tan, can you take this order?"

Master Tan was silent for a while, discussed it with his son beside him, and finally nodded: "Madam, little old man can take this order."

Daohua nodded and looked at Gu Yu who was beside him: "Wait a moment, take Master Tan to the cashier's office and withdraw 100 taels of silver as a deposit, and then pay him as much wages as he turns in the trolley every day."

After Gu Yu took Master Tan away, Dao Hua silently counted the money she spent during this time. She was fortunate that she had collected more than 20 boxes of silver and gold in the abandoned imperial tomb.

"Although these silver and gold were not transported into the treasury, they were also used in the construction of Ganzhou Wei, which is equivalent to entering the treasury."

Gu Jian saw that everyone was busy and couldn't be free, so he found Daohua: "I heard you want to open a pharmacy?"

Rice Flower nodded.

Gu Jian: "Then I'll go to the pharmacy for a consultation."

Daohua smiled and said, "That's great. Master, your medical skills are so high. If you are in the pharmacy, the pharmacy will definitely be overcrowded soon."

Gu Jian ignored his apprentice's flattery, and he was quite serious about the business: "How is the store layout?"

Daohua: "I haven't seen it yet."

Hearing this, Gu Jian got up immediately: "You are busy with your work, I will take a look for you for the teacher." After speaking, he strode out of the room.

The old man wanted to find something to do to pass the time, and Daohua liked it. Seeing that Dong Li was following, he didn't care much.

On the twenty-fifth of the first lunar month, a grain transport team of Haohaotangtang passed by Shiqukou.

Wang Wu stood on the mountain and looked at the grain transport team that was at least twice as long as the previous time. His mouth was open in surprise.

"Sir, how rich is the prince of this capital?"

Wang Qi didn't say anything, just stared at the grain transport team down the mountain.

After investing so much, it seems that the prince of the palace really intends to take root in Xiliang and make some achievements.

Wang Wu was still amazed: "No wonder that lady didn't blink when she gave us a few cartons of food. If I want to be as rich as them, I will give it too."

Wang Qi ignored him, but looked at the old man on the side: "Patriarch, it's about to enter February, we have to hurry up to open up wasteland, and the seeds left by the nobles can't be wasted by us."

The patriarch of the Wang clan nodded: "Don't worry, the grain seeds are so precious, the clansmen dare not waste them."

Three days later, on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the grain team was transported into Ganzhou City.

"Most of the grains delivered this time are grain seeds. Now you should believe what I said before. As long as the household registration is in Ganzhou Wei, those who stay to open up wasteland can receive free grain seeds."

Seeing the refugees eagerly watching the food team, Dong Yuanxuan took the opportunity to promote a wave.

"Moreover, these grains are not ordinary grains. Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao saw that our Ganzhouwei land was barren and lacking, and they specially transported the high-yield grains cultivated at home."

Hearing the words 'high-yielding grain', not only the refugees became agitated, but even the guards officials on the city wall couldn't help but get excited.

Fan Tong took his eyes off the food team with difficulty and looked at Xia Jianren beside him: "Old Xia, do you think what Master Xiao's master just said is true?"

Said, gritted his teeth.

"If Xiao Yeyang really brought high-yield grain seeds to Ganzhou Wei, so that the people and the brothers under his command could have enough to eat, Lao Tzu would serve him as his subordinate, and then Lao Tzu would recognize it."

Xia Jianren smiled bitterly in his heart after listening to Fan Tong's words.

Before Xiao Yeyang wanted to accept refugees, he reported it to Master Wei. Master Wei directly said that he should ignore it, and he also laughed at Xiao Yeyang's naivety.

Xiliang is no better than other places. It lacks materials. Unlike other provinces, it can get support from the surrounding areas. It takes tens of thousands of refugees and has to keep up with the human, material and financial resources. Obviously, Ganzhou Wei does not have these conditions.

He thought that Xiao Yeyang would definitely screw things up, and was waiting to see a joke. He never thought that high-yield grain seeds would be shipped directly.

Xia Jianren was a little shaken in his heart, Xiao Yeyang invested so generously and looked like he was going to take root in Xiliang, can Lord Wei really drive him away?

Seeing the excited refugees flocking to the registration office under the tower, Xia Jianren thought that if this year's autumn harvest really increases, then Xiao Yeyang will have a firm foothold in Ganzhou Wei.

People's hearts will always be the fundamental core of officials' governance of a party's land.

Outside the city gate, several ox carts slowly drove towards the city gate until all the grain transport teams drove into the city.

"On Xiliang's side, everything is lacking. If you want to develop, the investment in the early stage is really too much. This is really not something that everyone can do. The emperor sent the little prince over, and he really found the right person. ."

Behind Xiao Yeyang is the royal family, which can deter local officials in Xiliang, and the decree can be implemented well.

At the same time, there is the Yan family behind Xiao Yeyang.

Although the Yan family was born in a poor family, it is not prominent in the Xungui family, but the high-yield grains that Daxia is now promoting are cultivated by the Yan family.

During the war in northern Xinjiang, millions of grains were donated as soon as they said they were donated. This was a super grain household.

In Xiliang, if the problem of food and clothing for the people can be solved, the people's hearts will be almost subdued.

The more Mr. Dong thought about it, the more excited he became. There were not many people available to Xiao Yeyang when he came to Xiliang. As long as his son followed him well, the Dong family would not worry about the day he would turn over.

In the temporary office next to the porridge shed, several clerks are struggling to write and register. Dong Yuanxuan maintains order on the side, and occasionally says something about looking forward to a better life in the future.

Suddenly, he noticed the ox cart in the distance. Seeing that his family had arrived, he quickly said to Zhang Da next to him: "Master Zhang, my family has arrived. I will lead them into the city first, and then come back immediately."

Zhang Da knew that the person behind Dong Yuanxuan was Xiao Yeyang, even if he was an official, he was very polite to Dong Yuanxuan and He: "Go and settle your family, I'm watching here, you don't have to worry."

After Dong Yuanxuan thanked him, he ran to the ox cart.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, haven't you been tired all the way?"

Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "No, everyone is fine."

After greeting the elders, Dong Yuanxuan walked to Liu Xiaoman's side: "Are you tired?"

Seeing that Xianggong cared about him, Liu Xiaoman smiled until his eyes narrowed: "Xianggong, I'm in good health and I'm not tired at all. Our son has been good all the way."

Mrs. Dong waited for the young couple to talk for a while before urging: "Okay, let's go to the city."

Dong Yuanxuan nodded, pulled up the ox cart, and said to Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong as he walked, "Sister Yan helped me find a house in the city, everything is complete, and my son lived in it a few days ago. ."

Mrs. Dong: "It's really bothering that girl." After speaking, she paused, "After the house is cleaned up in two days, I will take Xiaoman to visit."

Dong Yuanxuan nodded with a smile: "Okay, when I came over, Sister Yan said she missed you. She must be very happy to see you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Dong looked at her son's expression, and when she saw that there was no difference, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Yan girl has married Xiao Yeyang, and her son has continued to marry Xiaoman, she doesn't want her son to let go of the past.

Soon, Dong Yuanxuan brought his family to his residence in Ganzhou City.

Xiao House.

Yan Shouhou led Qin Xiaoliu, who had brought food, to the guest house to wash and change clothes, and said with a smile: "Liu brother, the girl and the old man are handling the medicinal materials, and they can't throw them away for a while, you take a rest first, the girl is free. , I'll call you."

Qin Xiaoliu nodded: "Thank you, brother, I want to sleep now."

During this time, his mind has been tense, not because he is worried about encountering bandits, but because he is afraid that he will not be able to deliver the food in time. He has not slept a whole night. Now that he is in Ganzhouwei, once he relaxes, he is really exhausted.

"Thanks a lot."

Daohua met Qin Xiaoliu the day after the food arrived.

Qin Xiaoliu, who had rested for a night, was in good spirits and said with a smile, "It's good that we didn't delay the affairs of the girl and the uncle. This time the food delivery is indeed a little tired, mainly because the road on the Xiliang side is too difficult to walk. There are not many post stations built, and the food team often travels at night. In addition, there are many bandits here, and everyone’s nerves are tense along the way.”

He did not exaggerate the facts, nor did he deliberately hide anything.

I don't know how many years the girl and uncle will stay in Xiliang, and there will definitely be food deliveries in the future. Some things should be made clear. If something happens unfortunately, they will not be blamed for their ineffectiveness.

Daohua nodded: "The problems you mentioned, we encountered them the last time we came here. Next time, if you need to send something over, you can still hire a few more guards like this time. Safety is always the most important thing. "

Qin Xiaoliu grinned and said, "Thank you for your pity."

Only a kind-hearted person like a girl would take people's lives so seriously.

Daohua asked about the capital and the palace and Yan's mansion. Knowing that nothing major happened, she let Qin Xiaoliu go.
