Chapter 226 Plan
Moving is a big project, but since there were so many people, the move went much faster.
The children lived in the four largest rooms, twenty-two girls and fifteen boys.
Qiao Shinian, Yingzhu, Hehuan and Yuzhu lived in the same room. It was very crowded to put four beds in one room, so she thought of the modern parent-child bunk beds, drew the blueprints and asked a carpenter to build them.
So there were four people living in Cao Jinhua and Cao Yue's room, and there were also four people living in Qiao Shinian's room.
Qingyu Qingshan and the others lived on the other side, and the children were in the middle.
After the housing problem was solved, the next thing to consider was the school for the children. As for the school, Qiao Shinian rented an abandoned dyeing workshop near his home, cleaned it up and used it as a school.
·
In early March, Qiao Shinian traveled back in time again and returned to the Yongle Palace with a large amount of supplies.
A sack of millet, a sack of corn, a sack of high-yield potatoes, a sack of wheat, a bag of purple sweet potatoes and half and half sweet potatoes, a huge cardboard box, a sack of various vegetable seeds and flower seeds, a giant suitcase full of thermos cups, and two large boxes of edible salt.
Qiao Shinian discovered that all the saplings in the carton of the washing machine had been brought over, and thought that he had successfully fixed the bug, so next time he would not be so honest and only use sacks to pack things.
It's just throwing the sacks into the cardboard boxes, or using a giant sack for one piece of cargo.
Looking at the crowded bedroom, Wen Jiu didn't care about the goods, but quickly got out of bed to see Qiao Shinian.
"Sister!" Wen Jiu followed Qiao Shinian eagerly. Seeing Qiao Shinian dragging a suitcase, he immediately stopped in front of her and said pitifully, "Sister, won't you talk to me? I miss you so much, but you never come back to see me."
Qiao Shinian was checking her sunglasses to see if they were broken. When she heard what Wen Jiu said, she chuckled, "What can I say to you? You have your own ideas, and I have my own things to do. What can we talk about?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have kept it from you." Wen Jiu quickly pulled Qiao Shinian's arm with both hands, then held her hand and said aggrievedly: "Sister, please forgive me~, I swear, I will never keep it from you again."
Qiao Shinian tried hard to pull her hand free, but Wen Jiu held it tightly and didn't give her a chance to move away. She turned her head to look at Wen Jiu, who was standing in the corridor in a single layer of clothes and barefoot, blinking his big watery eyes.
His outfit naturally attracted a lot of attention, but the people who were able to walk around the palace these days had naturally been screened, and they were very discerning and chose not to see it.
"Ahem, go back!" Qiao Shinian felt a little reluctant. Although it was already spring, the weather was still cold. Wen Jiu's injuries had not yet healed fully. In addition, he had been cruel to himself and had used poison on him, so he was probably still weak at this moment.
"I won't!" Wen Jiu pulled Qiao Shinian like a little wife, "I did something wrong, and you are right to be angry, sister. You can punish me however you want, but don't ignore me! Do you know how pitiful I am these days when you ignored me? I am so pitiful. I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I am worried all night."
“Don’t embarrass yourself here!” Qiao Shinian dragged Wen Jiu back, and halfway saw Ji Lanzhou hurried over with a serious look on his face, holding accessories.
“Go back and put on your clothes!” Qiao Shinian looked a little uncomfortable. She was so embarrassed by Wen Jiu’s stupid look, especially in front of this young man from aristocratic family.
She was originally thinking about how to establish the image of Prince Wen Jiu, but now, it's all ruined!
Ah~, destroy it!
Does this kid know that he is already a prince? Why is he still throwing tantrums and begging for attention like a child?
Seeing this, Ji Lanzhou turned around awkwardly and explained: "I just noticed that His Royal Highness Prince Yongle was missing, so I came here in a hurry."
"Go back!" Qiao Shinian gritted his teeth.
Wen Jiu acted as if he didn't see Ji Lanzhou, and asked carefully: "Sister, are you still angry?"
"Nonsense! Let's put things aside!" Qiao Shinian walked back, dragging the suitcase with one hand and holding Wen Jiu's hand with the other.
After changing clothes in the crowded room, Qiao Shinian said in a cold voice: "It's time to plant. You should arrange for people to plant. There are instructions on the packaging of those fruits and vegetables. You can explain them to the people below."
"Sister~" Wen Jiu hugged Qiao Shinian's arm and acted coquettishly, "Don't be angry, okay? I swear, I will definitely tell you next time. It was a little dangerous this time, and I was afraid that you would follow me, so I didn't tell you."
Wen Jiu acted cute and coquettishly and begged for forgiveness.
After being annoyed for a long time, Qiao Shinian turned around and pinched Wen Jiu's face with both hands: "I am angry because you didn't tell me?! You went too far! You know, I already have Mu Qingchen. If something happens to you again, what should I do!?"
At this point, Qiao Shinian couldn't help but burst into tears: "You are all so... so..."
Wen Jiu gently patted Qiao Shinian, who was crying on his shoulder, and whispered, "I won't die. I will always be with you. I will always be by your side. I promise that I won't be so reckless next time.
I will always be with you, forever."
By the time Qiao Shinian wiped away her tears and sat down at the dining table with Wen Jiu to eat breakfast, it was already dawn.
"I have sent people to recruit people to prepare for the work in the past few days." After dinner, Wen Jiu ordered people to take the things in the house to the warehouse.
"First of all, let's talk about the farmland here. Forty percent of the land in Yun County is in the hands of the Jiang family, thirty percent is in the hands of all officials in Yun County, twenty percent is in the hands of some wealthy businessmen and their families, and ten percent is in the hands of the common people.
Now the matter of my assassination in the Jiang family has not been resolved, so I plan to take away two-thirds of their property.
The only thing left is to buy land. I plan to buy the land from the people at the price of 15 taels of silver per mu."
Qiao Shinian held the stove and asked, "What about the common people? Hired as long-term workers?"
"That's right! Sister, you really understand me!" Wen Jiu nodded, with some joy in her tone: "Any farmer who sells land to me can work as a long-term worker under me. Those who work for five years and have not made any serious mistakes can buy back their own land with three taels of silver in the sixth year."
"The salary I pay won't be too much, but food is provided. Two meals a day, and you can have meat every three days." Wen Jiu told Qiao Shinian about his plan.
Qiao Shinian nodded. The advantage of Wen Jiu's doing this was that it eliminated the risk of the people not being able to keep their own land. If a major reform was to be implemented, the smart ones would hoard land first, buy the grain from Wen Jiu and grow it themselves, and in the end the money would still be in the hands of that group of people.
"What about those who still have land?" asked Qiao Shinian.
Wen Jiu showed a sly expression to Qiao Shinian: "I don't care about my reputation among other people now. After all, I'm just a prince who wants to farm.
Kill the two people who stand out first, and the rest will naturally give up some of their resources to seek the safety of their families.
At this time, sister, you will come in handy. They will definitely ask you for information first, and then make a decision. You just need to tell them that I just want to farm well, but there is not enough land and money in my hand. "
After Wen Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Shinian and blinked his eyes: "I forgot to ask, sister, do you have any strict requirements for your reputation? If not, we can temporarily be bad guys in the eyes of the powerful people in Yunzhou, and be good people supported by the people."
"No, I'll do as you say." Qiao Shinian glanced at Yingzhu and Hehuan, "With them around, I'm safe."
Yingzhu and Hehuan are in the open, and there are several others secretly!
These are the precious legacies that Mu Qingchen left her, allowing her to do whatever she wants without fear.
