The First Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-Six Chapters Plan for the Coming Year
When Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun came, they had tens of thousands of silver bills in their arms, and they bought them both on the spot.
It is only more than forty miles away from the capital, the official road is wide and flat, and it can be reached in less than an hour by horse-drawn carriage. Although it is not on the edge of the official road, it is not less than ten miles away from the official road.
The whole one-way journey will take about an hour and a quarter to arrive.
These are all cultivated land, which can be planted directly next year, saving the trouble of land reclamation.
Qiao Xuan has already made a plan in her mind to plant potatoes, watermelons, and cantaloupes next year.
All the twenty acres in the city were planted with strawberries.
This year, ten mu of potatoes will definitely be able to have a bumper harvest, and there is no need to worry about the seeds. Next year, you can plant a few hundred mu, right?
Plant hundreds of acres of watermelon and cantaloupe, and sell them directly to the capital when they are mature.
There are very few large-scale agricultural production now, and Qiao Xuan is not worried that these two kinds of melons will not be sold after they are grown.
The two bought land, and the owner enthusiastically offered to introduce them to tenants, but Qiao Xuan declined.
The tenants naturally want to attract and buy a few people. She has planned to dedicate a plot of land to build houses for the tenants and their servants to live in.
Warehouses, tool rooms, stockyards, etc. are also planned to be neatly planned one by one.
But she didn't plan to do this by herself, she planned to hand it over to Songshi and let him take full responsibility.
Song Shi has been working hard with them for so long, and he has also exercised by running around all day, but it is only more than a thousand acres of land, and Qiao Xuan doesn't mind letting him practice.
Song Shi was overjoyed, and was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed to Qiao Xuan on the spot, repeatedly expressing that he would do this well and would not betray his wife's trust.
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but wake him up.
On the way back, Qiao Xuan told Shao Yunyun how to plan the planting of the 1,200 mu of land in the carriage. She was very interested in what she said, and Shao Yunyun listened with a smile.
His wife's enthusiasm for growing vegetables and crops has always been so high, and whenever she talks about shining eyes, he naturally won't disappoint her.
Song Shi took this errand, and he was very serious.
He didn't want to trouble Qiao Xuan, so he went to ask Zhao Shu's stewards for advice, but he did the right thing.
Qiao Xuan was quite satisfied, so she went with him.
It's just that Song Shi will be considered a small general manager in the future, and he must be busy in managing these places. It is not good to have a servant at home.
Qiao Xuan told Shao Yunyun about this, and the two called Ren Yazi to buy a 14- or 15-year-old servant named Qingyan to help with some chores.
What Qiao Xuan didn't expect was that her own strawberries were very popular in Jinquan Building, and the shopkeeper came to the door in person soon. She wanted to increase the amount she bought every day. If possible, it would be better to increase it to about 300 kilograms per day. .
Because Jinquan Tower has a private room on one floor for the female family members, there are also many female guests.
This strawberry is especially liked by female customers. Those ladies want to buy it and take it away, so Jinquan Building is not easy to refuse, because the desserts, candied fruit, and even tea in their restaurant, the guests want to take it away, which is originally a takeaway. .
But this way, the strawberry seems not enough.
But if it was other candied desserts, just buy it or make it. Only Qiao Xuan's family supplies strawberries.
The guests knew that this strawberry was rare, and they wanted to try it more and more. Even two taels of silver a pound can still be bought.
