I was the best old lady in ancient times

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cui Xiu's efforts to persist before revealing his purpose.

Cui Qingyuan stared at his eldest nephew speechlessly. Fortunately, this is not his son, otherwise, his legs would have been discounted!
However, Cui Qingyuan fell into deep thought when he thought about the big cake painted by Cui Xiu and the series of benefits after building the big ship.

He is not Cui Xiu, who builds a big boat for sailing out to sea.

Cui Qingyuan thought more and more comprehensively.

He even took out a map and moved his fingers slowly along the coastline of Nanyue Prefecture.

The more I look at it, the more shocked and surprised I feel.

After thinking about it, Cui Qingyuan wrote a letter overnight and sent it out.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know that the third child came to Nanyue Mansion with grain.

At this time, she was in the Zhuangzi, watching the servants dig out the sweet potatoes, put them in baskets, and weigh them one by one.

For the current sweet potato, Ning Pengpeng actually doesn't like it very much.

Compared with the smoked and sweet potatoes that I will eat in the future, they are all small and sweet.

Today's sweet potatoes are bigger than a grown man's fist, and the taste is naturally not as good as those modern sweet potatoes that have undergone countless cultivations.

One sweet potato can cook a big pot.

Of course, the question of whether it tastes good or not is only for Ning Pengpeng.

Ordinary people, as long as they can eat enough, who cares about whether it tastes good or not?
If the Ning family was as poor as before, Ning Pengpeng naturally wouldn't care.

Now the family is not without conditions, so this time, Ning Pengpeng plans to make all the sweet potatoes dug up in the village into fans.

Because after the sweet potatoes were planted in Zhuangzi, the villages around Zhuangzi didn't notice anything at first.

Moreover, he also expressed sympathy for those tenants in Zhuangzi who were forced to grow these crops.

After all, if there is no food in the second year, you will have to starve!
However, after the high-yielding sweet potatoes were planted in the first year, even the people in the village, no matter how prepared they were, could not stand up to the surrounding villagers, so they secretly followed suit and planted these crops.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the high yield of this crop, they have to grow it too!

Those who come and go, the women in the village are all from their natal families.

After receiving such news, how could there be any reason not to tell her family?

As a result, almost every household in the villages on the outskirts of Mingzhou grew sweet potatoes.

There are many people planting this thing, so it is naturally worthless.

When the rich eat it, they eat it fresh.

Then forget about it and never touch this kind of thing again.

But for the poor, because of the presence of sweet potatoes, many fewer people died of starvation, which is considered to have saved many lives.

After Ning Pengpeng heard that the villages around Zhuangzi began to plant a large number of sweet potatoes, after thinking about it, he asked Zhuangtou to start planting two crops of rice in all the fertile fields in Zhuangzi next year.

If there are not enough sweet potatoes to make vermicelli at that time, they can be collected directly from the villagers.

In this way, the family can grow some food.

And those villagers can also give their families more income because of planting sweet potatoes.

Of course, these villagers are not stupid enough to use good land to grow sweet potatoes, they just plant sweet potatoes on dry land and wasteland.

Compared with the low-harvest beans, the yield of sweet potatoes is too much!

Moreover, if the rice produced in good fields is sold after the tax is paid, the family will be hungry.

Now, even if they sell the remaining rice, they don't have to go hungry because there are sweet potatoes.

There are more and more people of natural species.

With so many people growing sweet potatoes, there is no need for Ning Pengpeng to use all the fertile land in the village to grow sweet potatoes.

After all, no matter whether sweet potatoes are delicious or not, they cannot be used as a staple food. If you eat too much, you will get heartburn.

Either way, rice is king.

In modern times, Ning Pengpeng was an authentic southerner, the kind who would get flustered if he didn't eat rice for a day.

For her, the flour in the north is mostly for extra meals.

Hearing that the old lady asked Zhuangzi to plant rice again, Zhuangtou was finally persuaded by this high-yield crop, and his heart was like a galloping horse, which was hard to calm down.

He couldn't understand the old lady's plan at all, nor did he understand the old lady's thoughts.

When he first planted this sweet potato, he refused in his heart.

However, according to the master's order, even if a year's harvest is ruined, he can't complain!

But now, since sweet potatoes can produce such a high yield, why did the old lady switch to growing rice again?
Hey, in the final analysis, they are servants, and they can do whatever the master tells them to do, and they don't need to have too many ideas.

Because, even if there are too many ideas, it is useless!
Ning Pengpeng didn't know how many thoughts flashed in Zhuangtou's heart. After giving instructions to Zhuangtou, she first went to see Ning Yongye and the others.

After inquiring about their current homework, they brought Qingniang back to the mansion.

As soon as I got back to the mansion, I saw Steward Jiang coming over with a stack of invitations and put them in front of Ning Pengpeng.

Ning Pengpeng knew that these invitations were probably the number after Jiang Steward's screening!

Because after the Ning family got engaged to the Cui family in Beijing, the number of invitations originally sent to the Ning family suddenly increased dramatically.

However, if Ning Pengpeng could not go, she would not go. Some invitations were indeed for happy occasions, so she asked Butler Jiang to sort out the gift list and send them over.

The etiquette is so polite that no one can make a mistake.

After all, Ning Pengpeng refused to go to some banquets for eating and drinking because of his age. You can't say that it is wrong for people to be old, right?

Besides Ning Youxi, the Miss Suns of the Ning family are all young, so it's not suitable for them to go to the banquet alone.

The only suitable one, Ning Youxi, is already engaged, and is not in the Mingzhou mansion now, so even if she wanted to invite her, she couldn't be invited!

For this reason, these wealthy families in the city are very aggrieved.

This old lady Ning heard that she has four sons, and there are so many grandchildren, why didn't she bring a daughter-in-law by her side to serve her?
If Mrs. Ning's daughters-in-law were by her side, they wouldn't have to be helpless if they couldn't invite Mrs. Ning!
At least, there are still a few daughters-in-law of Mrs. Ning who can go to the banquet, so they won't be so helpless!
Because Ning Pengpeng has no daughters-in-law to take care of this matter, the wives in Mingzhou have speculated in private whether it is because of the relationship between Mrs. They follow?

Some also feel that it is very likely that the Ning family has made a fortune now, and those daughter-in-laws married in the countryside must not be able to make it to the stage.

Now, Mrs. Ning must find suitable daughter-in-laws for her sons in the city, so she didn't bring those from the countryside to Mingzhou.

Anyway, there are all kinds of guesses, because of these guesses, the Liu family, Wang family and Zhao Juan in Anzhen often sneezed.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know, if he knew, he would definitely be wronged.

Although I didn't have deep feelings for these daughters-in-law, I never thought about the idea of ​​having my sons dump their first wives and remarry newcomers because the Ning family was prosperous.

Ask for a monthly ticket!
