When Qian Duoduo saw Zhao Ruxi and his party, he quickly ran over and saluted: "Girl."

He raised his head and said with a smile: "You have packed up the poultry and livestock. Now do you want them to be delivered to your house?"

When Zhao Ruxi took over Bailu Village, it was already autumn, which was not a good season for hatching chickens and ducks. However, Zhao Ruxi still asked Qian Duoduo to find a way to buy some half-grown livestock and raise poultry. The livestock raised on the village were better than before.

Twice as much.

Zhao Ruxi divided these things into two parts. The small part was given to Suiping Bofu, the larger part was given to the management and craftsmen for welfare, and some was left for the people of Zhuangzi to celebrate the New Year.

She originally planned to take some back to Uncle Suiping's house during the New Year, and then send some back when the house held a banquet after the New Year. Yesterday, she decided not to hold a banquet in the house, so she asked Zhuangzi to come up.

Pick up some poultry and livestock every day, bring them to your house, and process and digest them carefully.

As for the livestock and poultry produced in Suiping Bo's house, she asked Zhu to sell them locally. The meat delivered to the house from Bailu Village every day was enough for Suiping Bo's house to have a good year.

Uncle Suiping's life is very strict, and it is not suitable to kill sheep and geese in the house all day long. Zhao Ruxi asked someone to send a message to Qian Duoduo in the morning, asking him to pack it up directly in the village before sending it to the house.

The good meat was sent to Suiping Bo's house, and the remaining sheep heads and bones were used to make soup in a large pot, with some side dishes, and a large bowl was given to every household in Zhuangzi. It was also considered as a daily supply for the people in Zhuangzi.

You can add a dish to it for free and have a delicious taste.

When Qian Duoduo heard about this arrangement, he felt even more grateful to Zhao Ruxi, so he came to personally watch the people pick up the chickens, ducks, sheep and geese just now, fearing that those people were not careful enough.

"Well, once you've packed it up, let them drive the oxcart to deliver it to your house." Zhao Ruxi said.

She walked around the village, looked at the lives of the village servants, and looked at the several farms built according to her instructions and the fish ponds that had been filled with water, and then left Bailu Village and went to Xiaotao.

village.

She was busy some time ago, and everything in Bailu Village was on track, so she didn't need to worry too much, so she didn't come to Bailu Village for almost a month.

This time she was going to Xiaotaozhuang, so she stopped by to take a look.

Xiaopeach Village is the village given to her by Princess Shangde. Because Princess Shangde planted many peach trees in the village, it was named like this.

"Girl, do you want to ask the head of Qianzhuang to come over and take a look?" Zhou Chun couldn't help but asked when he saw that Zhao Ruxi got directly onto the carriage and had no intention of asking Qian Duoduo to go with him.

"No need for now, let's take a look at the situation." Zhao Ruxi said.

Zhou Chun didn't ask any more questions and rode his horse to Xiaotaozhuang with Ma Sheng and others.

After leaving Bailu Village and walking eastward for a while, we arrived at Xiaotaozhuang. Xiaotaozhuang was surrounded by walls and had a formal gate.

I knocked on the door at noon. Not long after Zhao Ruxi and his party entered, Wang Qin, the head of Xiaotaozhuang, led a few people and hurried over. They saluted Zhao Ruxi and presented him with the list of servants and account books.

Wang Qin thought that he was very respectful to Zhao Ruxi because of Princess Shangde's advice.

The one given by Princess Shangde was said to be a small village, but in fact the area was only a little smaller than Bailu Village. There were more than 200 servants in the village. Zhao Ruxi followed Wang Qin and others to walk around the village and found that their lives were compared to hers.

The newly-received Bailu Villa is better. The houses are all made of mud bricks. The clothes and complexions of the servants are better than those of the original Bailu Villa. This shows that Princess Shangde is a good master.

"You take care of this Zhuangzi very well. Just follow the rules as you did in the past." Zhao Ruxi said to Wang Qin.

"Yes." Wang Qin even learned the rules better than Qian Duoduo.

After coming out of Xiaotaozhuang, Zhao Ruxi explained to Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng: "After all, this Zhuangzi was a gift from the eldest princess, and Wang Qin was once her subordinate. From now on, as long as nothing happens to this Zhuangzi, everything will be as usual.

They do not participate in matters such as transporting stones to the south and running workshops."

When she said this, Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng understood what she meant.

Beining is the seat of Princess Shangde, and Princess Shangde's status is much stronger than that of Zhao Ruxi. In the minds of Wang Qin and others, even if Zhuangzi has been given to Zhao Ruxi by Princess Shangde, they will still treat it as Princess Shangde.

The princess is the most important thing and is not loyal to Zhao Ruxi.

If they were involved in Zhao Ruxi's important secrets, as long as Princess Shangde inquired from them, these secrets would be exposed.

Zhao Ruxi didn't let Duo Duo come over because he was guarding against this.

It is better for the two Zhuangzi not to interact with each other, lest the people of Bailuzhuang think that the servant of Xiaotaozhuang is one of their own, show no defense in front of them, speak without guarding the door, and leak the secret.

"Don't do anything about increasing income yet. Zhuangzi will just maintain the status quo." Zhao Ruxi added.

Xiaotaozhuang is rich in peaches, and it was originally the best to make canned peaches. But as soon as Zhuangzi came into his own hands, he greatly benefited from it, and the living standards of his servants also improved rapidly. Doesn't that make Princess Shangde very incompetent?

Not to mention Ma Sheng, Zhou Chun also thought for a long time before he figured out the reason why Zhao Ruxi did this, and felt filled with emotion again.

When he was with his old master, he felt that he was already very smart. Whether he was the master or the servants in the family, there were few smarter than him.

But when he came to Zhao Ruxi, he often felt that his IQ and EQ were not enough. Not only was he unable to think of his master in everything and give him advice, but he was told what to do by his master, and he had to think about it for a long time before he understood why he did it. For this reason, he

Often feel ashamed.

It was okay for Miss Guang to be like this, and the same was true for Master Wu Zongwu and others. Only then did Zhou Chun realize that it was not that he was smart, but that his previous owner was too stupid. He had been staying in the original owner's house, and he was really a frog in the well, not knowing how high the sky was.

As the annual exams of Beining Girls' College were on holiday, the students in the painting training class also had a holiday. There were still more than ten days for the year-end competition, so Zhao Ruxi suddenly felt free.

On the day when the students in the painting training class had a complete holiday, Xiao Lingyan made an appointment to meet with her.

As soon as they met, she asked: "Will the jade jewelry be auctioned tomorrow?"

As early as the two months when the jadeite was transported, she had people observe all the jade craftsmen in the jade workshop. Finally, after asking a few people, she signed a contract with three jade craftsmen, including Ge Wu, and placed them in the jade shop.

In a newly built house, jade jewelry is cut and carved.

Jadeite is jade, which is not easy to cut and carve. Zhao Ruxi also studied with three jade craftsmen for a long time and improved the jade turning machine.

Fortunately, she has both a blacksmith and a carpenter, so it is easy to make something. You only need to hand over the drawings of the parts to the craftsman, and then come back and assemble the machine after the parts are made.
