Huang Yueying did not know what happened outside Huangjiazhuang.
She was watching Gan Ning riding back in the distance and then dismounting neatly. There was quite a lot of envy in her eyes. She must grow taller! Looking at her thin body...she secretly made up her mind.
In an era like this, you need to grow up physically, practice martial arts well, and build infrastructure well.
"Ah Chu! This idea of putting shoes on horses is really amazing!" Gan Ning looked at the horse that had been beating Huangjiazhuangzi back and forth in Mianyang County in surprise. He turned over the horse shoe and saw the iron piece on it.
It’s just that there are a lot of white marks. “In this way, the damage to the war horses can be greatly reduced!”
"Brother... didn't you say you wanted to find a pony for me?" Huang Yueying said with some resentment.
Gan Ning went to the county, firstly to test the horseshoes, and secondly to find a docile pony for Huang Yueying.
"Um... Mianyang County is a bit small after all. I haven't seen it at the market. Next time I go to Xiangyang, I will help you take a look." Gan Ning also didn't expect that there were no ponies for sale in Mianyang County.
Huang Yueying was helpless, "Brother, please remember, by the way, don't forget about Xiao Shisan."
Ethnic studies started yesterday, and Huang Cong had to go to class.
Because she was rewarded by the emperor, she also exempted the children of tenants and guards from schooling fees, regardless of gender.
The tribesmen... don't have any opinions, and they don't dare to have any opinions. Now that Huangjiazhuang's property is bigger and there are more people, of course there need to be more tenants and guards. Achu's approach is to show kindness.
Only in this way will the tenant farmers work hard and pay more attention when patrolling.
"That's natural." Gan Ning agreed with a smile, "But this horseshoe, although simple, is really useful!"
Huang Yueying nodded. Horseshoes, also known as horseshoes, did not appear until the Yuan Dynasty. In view of the extremely high horse consumption rate in this era... she did not want to use up the only dozens of horses in the village.
As for the saddle, it already existed in this era, but she didn't have stirrups... She didn't have enough power in her hands, and there were so many new things, it could easily become a sharp weapon for the enemy.
She has been very busy these days. As the stalls in her hands expand, she really wants to train her troops.
The registration for guards had ended two days ago. Not only clan members and tenants had signed up, but also workers in the workshops had signed up. Just for this part, she spent a whole day setting up the selection rules and regulations with Gan Ning.
level.
Yesterday I participated in the opening of ethnic studies again...
Today I came to try this horseshoe with Gan Ning again...
"Brother, after the guard selection is over, there are two things to do, one is housing, and the other is spring plowing." Huang Yueying breathed out, "Brother, please take more care of housing. There are many people in Zhuangzi now, so don't let conflicts arise."
As her reputation as Chu Anjun spreads, and she continues to expand new workshops and continue to recruit workers, before the spring plowing has even begun, the excitement in Huangjiazhuang is almost as lively as that of a small county town.
There are even some small stalls selling food outside Zhuangzi.
"Brother, I understand." Gan Ning responded naturally.
"As for spring plowing... I also need my brother's help." Huang Yueying thought for a moment, "My uncle captured Jingnan last year, and he certainly couldn't get everyone settled so quickly. Brother, can you make a trip for me and take more tricks?
Some people came to help farm the land.”
"Okay." Gan Ning agreed.
He knew very well that Huang Yueying now had a lot of land in his hands. Even though there were tenants on the land donated by other aristocratic families, it was still not enough.
To put it simply, the entire Huangjiazhuangzi is lacking people everywhere.
Because of this, everyone working in Zhuangzi now seems to have an inexplicable hope. He knows that it is a desire for the future.
This world is really unfriendly to the people, but in Huangjiazhuang, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not starve to death.
Even if they are really old, weak, women, children or people with disabilities, Huang Yueying can arrange work for them.
These days, he has been following Huang Yueying, and the more he gets along with her, the more he feels that his adopted sister's status is far greater than that of people in the world.
When meeting people from poor families, Huang Yueying did not show any contempt; when meeting children from aristocratic families, she did not flatter them; when meeting high-ranking officials, she treated them equally when talking.
It's as if... everyone has the same status in the eyes of this adopted sister.
Yes, he also saw hope.
…
"Alu," Huang Chengyan and Huang Lu sat across from each other at Huang Lu's house, "Now the village is busy with affairs. Please help Alu more during my absence."
"Third brother, what are you talking about? Achu is my niece, how can I not help her?" Huang Lu glared, "Even Ayin, I also plan to let him go to Achu to help, these few days...
I think Ah Chu didn’t even get a good rest, or there were too few people in his hands.”
Huang Yin, courtesy name Shuhu, is the third son of Huang Lu. He was crowned just last year.
"I didn't get enough rest. Day by day, I had to do something when I thought of it..." Huang Chengyan shook his head, "So, her mother and I are also heartbroken, but I will have to go out to visit friends soon..."
"Third brother, you should keep an eye on some young talents when you go out... Don't pick someone too bad, at least one who can help A Chu."
"Don't worry, Alu." Huang Chengyan was helpless.
Huang Lu sighed, "The Mianyang Huang clan is going to prosper. As the clan leader, I naturally won't ignore it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Alu."
"It's just that Shu Ze is also a little confused. What does Achu want to do?"
Huanglu, Zi Shuze.
Huang Chengyan took a sip of tea and organized his words, "Alv, do you remember "Book of Rites: Journey to the Great Road"?"
"Of course." Huang Lu nodded, and then looked at Huang Chengyan in surprise, "What third brother means is..."
"Achu said that she knew she couldn't do it, but she also wanted to cultivate herself, manage her family, and govern the country and bring peace to the world." Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and said happily.
Huang Lu was silent for a long time and sighed, "It's a pity that A Chu is not a man. Wait a minute... Speaking of this, Huang Chu..."
"It's A Chu, the pseudonym she used when she sent Chu paper to Xiangyang last year."
"So, I'd rather have broken jade than live in ruins and the prodigal son would rather turn back for gold... both come from A Chu?"
"yes."
"I'm not as good as that." Huang Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Achu's talent has reached such an extent that it doesn't matter whether he is a man or not."
"No one in this world stipulates that women cannot govern the country and bring peace to the world, right?"
"What Third Brother said is right, but it's still too surprising."
"This is a secret, Alumo wants to tell others."
"I don't care. In this case, I will restrain the clan members. If there is anyone who can help, I will also ask Achu. If it is suitable... I will no longer just study."
"Thank you for your hard work, Alu."
"It should be said that it's hard work, Ah Chu."
The two looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus.
…
For Huang Yueying, the care of the elders is still very real, and they even found helpers for her!
The next day, Huang Yin reported to Huang Yueying.
"Brother Shuhu!" Huang Yueying greeted.
Huang Yin looked at Huang Yueying with a smile, "Ah Chu."
"I didn't expect that the clan leader would ask Brother Shuhu to help me. It's great!" Huang Yueying smiled.
"So, what's A Chu's order?" Huang Yin asked.
"Brother also knows that Achu has received a lot of gifts recently, including a lot of land."
Huang Yin nodded, "Not bad."
"But there is still a shortage of people!" Huang Yueying was helpless.
In order to express congratulations to each family, she sent Zhou Yang to receive the land. Fortunately, most of the gifts were from Mianyang.
The one thousand acres of land awarded by the emperor was a blank check, and one thousand acres of land could only be circled from the county government's atlas.
The three thousand acres given by Liu Biao was, well, a blank check. After all, Liu Biao was a herdsman in Jingzhou... He generously gave away three thousand acres, and the Mianyang County magistrate almost wanted to break his head.
In the end, she had no choice but to enclose half of the fertile farmland and merge half of the mountainous land with wasteland... plus the gifts from other families, she really became a big landowner.
But these lands can’t all grow food, right?
Should the fields that can grow food still be grown using the methods of this era?
Of course Huang Yueying doesn't want to.
I sorted out the method of planting rice overnight again, planning to sort out the method of growing winter wheat and summer rice when I have free time... There is no way, I am too busy to do anything.
She comes from a later generation and can understand many things that people of this era cannot understand. If you don't pay attention, even if you follow the information she copied, people of this era will still make mistakes!
Therefore, she will have to keep an eye on it herself when the time comes. Now that she has a helper, she can finally feel more relaxed.
"What do you want Achu to do?"
As the title says, today’s first chapter.
Chapter 2 should be in the evening.
Chapter completed!
