Chapter 258
Zhou Hui had just gone to the government office, and he was too busy with all kinds of official duties.

People can live in the backyard of the government office, and the environment is not bad. Money was not given to the departing county magistrate for nothing. He has worked here for many years and lived in the backyard of the government office.

The flowers and plants in the furniture garden, etc., were all purchased at their own expense. Zhou Hui picked up the ready-made ones when they left, and there was almost no need to buy more. Wouldn't this save money?

Wenwen brought her close servants and housekeepers in her mansion, and asked people to clean the inside and outside of the house, spread the bedding and gauze curtains she brought, and put all the boxes and cages in place. After all, she will live for several years.

The garden of the government office is still very beautiful and elegant. Wenwen asked people to choose a deserted yard where no one can live near the side, pull out the weeds in it, and prepare to grow vegetables.

The environment in the northwest here is relatively bitter and cold, the winter is long, the spring is particularly short, and the summer is longer, so it is easy to grow a la carte for my own people to eat and drink, and I can eat fresh ones.

There used to be a lot of vegetable seeds stored in the space, and she brought them all.

Now I can still plant a wave, and I plan to plant it after I settle down.

After tidying up the house for several days, the Xiao family also sent people to help, and specially asked the people in his house to take the housekeeper and buyers around, so that they can buy cheap and affordable things in the future.

Zhou Hui was busy for a few days and went to visit several generals with gifts, handed the secret letter of Duke An to several generals, and had a heart-to-heart talk with them.

Wenwen turned over the open space in the yard several times at home, ready to grow vegetables.

Brother Big Niu came running, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Brother, there are no people in this yard. I want to plant some vegetables in this open space. Can I eat something fresh?"

"I'm here, the land needs to be deepened, otherwise the vegetables won't grow well."

Daniu took the hoe in her hand, rolled up his sleeves and started to fuck her.

"Why are you free to come here today?"

"I talked a little bit about setting up a chamber of commerce in the county, and Hui Zi said that he wanted to open up wasteland and grow food."

"Okay, what I also think in my heart is to open up wasteland, so that the common people can benefit, and then when the grain is harvested, the officers and soldiers can come to help collect it together, and the soldiers can buy it directly. Wouldn't this solve the problem of a large amount of grain and grass. "

Daniu thought for a while, "It's okay, the common people can pay a lot less tax, and maybe they can get a few more money in their hands."

"Yes, if there is no intermediary channel to transfer hands, you will pay less exorbitant taxes and give more benefits, such as no tax payment in the first few years, and tax halving in the first few years to attract everyone to open up wasteland.

The border can also be properly opened to allow businessmen to come to do business. What my father didn't finish back then can be done by Hunchi.

As long as we have money in our own pockets, are we afraid of not having military pay and food? "

Wenwen touched Daniel with her hand and poured him a cup of warm tea.

"You're right. You two have to think about it. Let's study the entire specific regulations."

"Okay, we must cooperate with both sides. Let's see how to get it right first, and then adjust it according to the specific situation. This way, you can get a share of the money in your hands. In the future, you will be able to buy food, grass, and military pay. Can you still do business? .”

"If this is done well, it will be good to have a long stream of water, and there are at least two bags in your pocket for emergencies."

"Yes."

At noon, Daniu ate the rice from his hometown. The food was not expensive, but the taste of his hometown. He was satisfied and left.

Zhou Hun specially tested Wang Li, Daniu's only son, and gave him homework. From now on, Zhou Hun will take care of his studies. Daniu and Xiao could not wait for it.

Wenwen was counting the banknotes in the box, and Zhou Hui came back from the front.

"What more?"

"Count the money, see how much you have in your hand, and which one to do first, I also think about it in my heart."

"You also want to buy wasteland?"

"I have to buy it, but don't worry, I have to buy a ready-made Zhuangzi first, and we have to eat it ourselves. The production of wasteland is too slow."

"I'm thinking about buying a few shops, and I'll spread out the follow-up things a little bit, and I won't be in a hurry for a while."

Zhou Hui washed his face, changed his clothes and sat down.

"Try the mutton sent by Brother Big Niu today. The mutton in the northwest is really delicious, and the taste is different."

"The beef and mutton here are the best. Mutton is warm and tonic is good for your health. You should eat more."

Wenwen asked someone to roast a leg of lamb and stewed lamb soup. It will be a bit cold in the northwest. This beef and mutton is the staple food and is eaten all year round.

If you can't eat beef in the interior, or if you eat very little, the government will control it, and the old cows with broken legs will be killed.

But this is different. After crossing the border is the grassland, where cattle and sheep are raised. There are cattle and sheep everywhere. There is no shortage of them.

There are also a lot of dairy products such as cow's milk and goat's milk. Non-locals may not be used to it, such as milk lumps, milk tofu, milk skin and so on.

Wenwen took a long drink of milk tea, which contained boiled milk and tea leaves.

"Give me a drink."

Seeing that her drink was delicious, Zhou Hui took a sip himself.

Nodded, "Yes, it's salty."

"Yes, for those who are bored, one side feeds the other side with water and soil, and the vegetables are much less than those at home, so I just eat tea."

"Well, I'm not used to that milk lump. It tastes sour. The milk tea is delicious."

Zhou Hui smiled and said that after eating the milk bumps given by Wang Li, his expression cracked.

"It's okay for me to eat. Looking back, I'm thinking about the pastries here. Many of them can be made with milk. The pastries given to me by my ex-sister-in-law taste pretty good."

"Well, then let the kitchen learn to eat meat."

The roasted mutton was golden and oily, and Zhou Hui took the good meat off and put it on her plate.

"What kind of regulations do you plan to set up for business affairs?"

"The Chamber of Commerce is ready-made. I plan to continue to finish what my uncle didn't finish, to make this county prosperous, and to drive a few surrounding towns. I have almost figured out the plan, and I still need you to help me a little bit later. Bundle."

"Row."

Zhou Hui sliced ​​the meat and ate it with naan cakes. It was delicious, and that's how people here eat.

He got busy, there are still many things to do in the Yamen, and Wenwen is also very busy.

When she first arrived, many officials' wives sent her posts, inviting her to the banquet, and also to meet and contact. This area is not big, and the wives of all households are familiar with each other.

Wenwen is busy attending the banquet, and also plans to hold a banquet at her own home, and plans to invite everyone, which can be regarded as the official appearance of her husband and wife.

My sister-in-law often came to play with her, told her about the specific situation of the wives, and helped her a lot.

"You want to buy a shop?"

"Well, you have to earn money. If you want to stay here for several years, first buy a village for your own food, and then buy a few shops. If you get the money in your hand, you will not have to worry about food and clothing."

"Okay, I'll help you find out."

"Sister-in-law, I made you a dress. Try to see if it fits you. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it for you."

"Really, that's great. Your embroidery is much better than mine. I'm not good at being a girl. When I was at home, my mother kept telling me that the color of this dress looks so good."

Xiao Shi is good-looking at first, and she looks very good-looking in the clothes made by Wenwen.
