Listening to Qian Yu's words, the Uncle Wang looked at her and asked, "Qian Yu, have you finished your homework yet?"Are you so idle today? "

Listening to his words, Mo Qianqian said with a smile: "That's it, let me go, brother Mangzi asked someone to get some wheat seeds from the south, I want to go to the earth to see who's land is suitable Planting, this is not going to the door of your house, and say hello to you."

Upon hearing Qian Yu's words, the Wang family uncle put down his work, walked out of the yard, looked at her and said, "The ancestors in our place have only grown potatoes for generations. Can the wheat you mentioned grow here?"

Qian Yu listened to his words, looked at him and said, "Yes, why not, the rice can be hit, let alone the wheat."

Hearing what Qian Yu said, Uncle Wang said: "Why don't you do this! I'll take you to my field to have a look. My field is a piece of pure black land that can produce food for everything."

Mo Qianqian laughed when he heard what he said, and then nodded in agreement. The two walked out of the village and walked directly to the side of the mountain. In a short time, they came to a fertile field with black soil. Uncle Wang said: "Look How about these lands, if you grow wheat, you can try it here, I think there should be no problem.

Walnut listened to his words, looked at the land and said, "Something happened to your family here. Whose family belonged to those in the village?"

Uncle Wang said with a smile after hearing this: "It's all cultivated by the people in our village in small pieces. There are not many families, but the land here is fertile, and a lot of potatoes are harvested every year. .”

Hearing this, Mo Qianqian laughed and said: "I also think the land here is good, so how about it! I'll go back to the village and discuss with the big guys, contract all these lands, and then cultivate some, and plant wheat this year , if there is a bumper harvest, the folks in the coming year can follow suit."

After seeing the land, Mo Qianqian returned to the village, contacted the landowners of each family, and promised to give each of them ten taels of silver per household for a one-year contract. The villagers heard that the price given by Mo Qianqian was very Satisfied, I agreed on the spot, because although the fast land is very fertile, the harvest of potatoes planted every year is enough to eat. , That's enough to last for two years. After such a calculation, the villagers felt that it was very good, and they all agreed cheerfully.

After discussing this with the villagers, Mo Qianqian did not go home, but went to Mangzi's house, opened the door and walked in, and saw Mangzi cleaning up the yard at home, Mo Qianqian looked at him and asked : "Your brother bought seeds for me from the city. Where are they stored in your house? Let me see how they are. If they are good, I will go to the city to buy some."

Hearing Mo Qianqian's words, Mangzi laughed and said, "It's in my newly built straw house! Go in and have a look!"

Mo Qianqian and Mangzi walked into the thatched hut, and saw the wheat seeds that Mangzi's younger brother brought back for him. He was very satisfied, and said to Mangzi, "Please help me to send these seeds back to you." gone."

Hearing Mo Qianqian's words, Mangzi smiled and said: "Okay, you go back first and wait for me to finish the work in hand. I will send it back to you, but do you have a place to put it in your house? If not, put it first It’s fine at my house too, there’s a lot of rain this spring, it’s not good if it’s watered by the rain.”

Mo Qianqian listened to Mangzi's words, looked at him with a smile and said, "Yes, you just send it."

When Mo Qianqianzhang finished all this and returned home, it was getting late, and Xiao Chengfeng came back early from the rice fields. When he saw Shuanzi's mother coaxing the child, he couldn't help asking: "Second Aunt, where's Qian Yu?"

Listening to Prince Xiao Chengfeng's question, Shuanzi's mother laughed and said: "I don't know, this girl hasn't come back since she left in the morning, and it will be dark soon. I'm in a hurry!"

Just as the two of them were talking, Mo Qianqian came back, opened the door and walked into the room.

Seeing that he was coming, Xiao Chengfeng pulled his face down and said, "I asked you to rest at home, so where did you go all day?"

Mo Qianqian looked at Prince Xiao Chengfeng's displeasure, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I asked Mangzi's younger brother to bring me a few bags of wheat seeds in the city. Today I went to his house to see Look, and then I went to the field by the mountain to have a look, and talked to the villagers in the village about contracting their land, and it got dark after this busy work."

After hearing her words, Prince Xiao Chengfeng looked a little better, looked at her and said, "Why didn't you tell me when did it happen?"

Listening to what he said, Mo Qianqian looked at him with a smile and said, "Isn't it too late for me to tell you now? By the way, the rice field is about to be completed, and it just so happens that your officers and soldiers are not in a hurry to go back. Then take this opportunity to let them help me plant the wheat! If the harvest is good in autumn, we will have another crop in the coming year."

Hearing what Mo Qianqian said, Xiao Chengfeng calmed down and said: "Tell me about this matter earlier, and I will help you sort it out. You see, you are tired and skinny these days. If you go back to the capital, people will think that I have abused you, the princess, when they see it!"

Hearing the words of Prince Xiao Chengfeng, Mo Qianqian laughed and said: "Okay, I know to pay attention to my body, so you can rest assured.

As it got dark, Mangzi drove the ox cart to deliver the wheat seeds to Mo Qianqian's house and put them directly in the barn.

After two days, the prince Xiao Chengfeng and Shuanzi completely planted the rice seedlings and drained the water.So I started busy planting wheat.

Mo Qianqian didn't care about the children at home, so he came to the field to direct the field in person. The prince Xiao Chengfeng looked at the several acres of wheat planted and felt that it was not enough, so he simply asked the magistrate of Jiangning Prefecture to sow more seeds from the treasury, surrounding the area. The land on the side of the mountain was directly mined, and it has been reclaimed not far from the cemetery of his mother, the imperial concubine.

After such busy work, more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The rice seedlings in the rice fields are all green, and the planted wheat has also sprouted. The busy spring plowing has finally come to an end.

This morning.Mo Qianqian was lying on his kang, and when he was drowsy, the voice of Shuanzi's daughter-in-law Xiaoli came from the yard, and she heard Xiaoli say, "Sister Qianyu, are you up yet?"
