Xiao Hanzheng stuffed the letter back into the envelope.

"The last time I went to Fucheng, I rescued a pair of brothers who were in trouble and asked them to go to the capital to help me and keep an eye on the general's mansion."

"If there is any trouble in the General's Mansion, they will report it to me."

"As long as there is an opportunity to add fuel to the fire, I will tell them not to let it go."

The two brothers were both capable, but they encountered many setbacks and depended on each other.

In his last life, he met his brother, who died of illness, so that brother did crazy things.

When he went to Fucheng, he happened to meet two people, so he rescued his younger brother.

The two of them took the initiative to seek refuge and work for him.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "It turns out that you have also started to make plans."

She felt that the young husband was someone who only hoped to take the imperial examination to cause trouble.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "I learned this from my wife."

Shi Qingluo leaned in his arms, stretched out his hand to play with a strand of his hair, "You said, if the cement cubes and the fertilizer method are presented this time, what will the emperor give you?"

us?"

Xiao Hanzheng said: "I just want to talk about this."

"Mo Qingling came to me today to test and ask what reward we want."

He added: "What do you want? It's all up to you."

He will fight for fame and wealth, and change his name justly. He does not need to rely on these to actively ask for them.

Shi Qingluo thought for a while, "What do you think if the emperor doesn't reward us with the mountain where the Taoist temple is located?"

That big mountain is a virgin forest. Few people dare to go deep into it, so there are naturally a lot of good things there.

It was also rumored to be quite mysterious by people in several villages, saying that there were gods and other things in it. With the addition of the Taoist stories, everyone felt that the mountain was even more mysterious.

It can be used as a shield to cause trouble.

And the vast tracts of wild sugar beets and sumac trees are all on the mountain.

After the lacquer trees were developed, if someone decided to make the mountain private, the raw materials for their workshops would be gone.

There are also ginseng and other things in the mountains that my young husband mentioned.

Recently, she often went to the mountains and found that many fruit trees and medicinal herbs could be planted without going deep into the mountains.

She and her young husband had never gone into the mountains very often. If they became their own, they could go in and look for some good things at any time.

As an agricultural expert, she has a great interest in this unexplored forest.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't expect that his daughter-in-law wanted that mountain.

"Okay, I will talk to Mo Qingling tomorrow." He has now become very chatty friends with the other party.

Shi Qingluo said again: "The chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the mountain over the old house are well raised. I'm going to buy another batch and put them there."

More than a month ago, Bai Xu's uncle helped get a group of pigs and sheep, as well as hundreds of cows.

She also invited experts in farming from nearby villages to carve out a lot of land on the mountain and plant soybeans, wheat, sugar beets, peanuts, etc.

The soybeans will be used to extract oil and make tofu, and the okara can be used to feed cattle and sheep.

Wheat bran is also a good feed.

A lot of vegetables have also been planted, and the manure of cows, sheep, chickens and ducks will be used as fertilizer, and the entire mountain can be recycled.

Of course, she watered the Lingquan in the fields, and also fed the chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep on the mountain.

In this way, whether it is vegetables or poultry and livestock, not only the survival rate is improved, but the taste will be better and the nutritional value will be greater.

Xiao Hanzheng was very supportive of these, "Okay!"

Next, Xiao Hanzheng focused on reading.

Shi Qingluo focused on breeding and planting.

After this period of observation, she has selected more than a dozen families and taught them how to make tofu, fermented bean curd, soy sauce, and miso.

The three companies make the same thing, and they will increase the number in the future. They guarantee the quantity of shipments and have them all sign confidentiality contracts.

She taught these people how to make it, and the profit from their sales in the previous three years was divided into 20% of their family. The recipe could not be leaked without her permission.

She did not ask for profits from the three families who made tofu, but wanted them to provide five years of bean dregs free of charge.

After making it, sell it in the village to attract more people to come to the village to buy.

Making tofu was too hard, so Shi Qingluo planned to throw it out for others to make, not wanting her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to work too hard.

Of course, these dozen family members agreed without hesitation and were particularly grateful to Shi Qingluo.

After they started making it, they first sold it in their own yard.

When I make money, I will follow what Shi Qingluo said and build a few houses next to each other at the entrance of the village to sell them.

These things are not in short supply when they are made, and they really attract many small and large traders to come to the village to wholesale and then resell them.

With the addition of people coming to buy saltpeter and mosquito-repellent incense, the entire Xiaxi Village became more and more lively.

Some people also came to inquire about Xiao Hanzheng. He built a guesthouse near the entrance of the village and also sold food. The business was very good.

Some businessmen who came from far away did not stay overnight in the county town. Instead, they purchased things, stayed in a guesthouse for one night, and then set off on their journey the next day.

If the business of one guesthouse is good, it will naturally lead to the opening of a second one.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and the Xiao family's new house was all decorated.

Including the custom-made furniture painted by Shi Qingluo, everything was put in place.

Choosing a good and auspicious day, the Xiao family moved into a new house.

This is a big day, and now the Xiao family is also rich.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng also wanted to have fun, so they held a flowing banquet.

Not only people from the village came, but also many people from nearby villages came.

Bai Xu and the Bai family came from the county town.

Many of Xiao Hanzheng's classmates who were close to him also came.

These people were arranged in the yard, and a flowing banquet was set up on the cement road outside. Anyone from the village and nearby villages, including businessmen who came to purchase goods, could come and eat if they wanted.

With both meat and vegetables, and the menu given by Shi Qingluo, everyone was surprised and happy to eat.

Then someone who surprised everyone came.

The county magistrate, Mo Qingling, and the first-class official who had just become teacher Xiao Hanzheng.

The two happened to meet each other and came together.

Xiao Hanzheng welcomed the person in politely.

"Teacher, sir, please!"

Mo Qingling's cousin is Shaoqing, and friends call each other by their cousin.

Xiao Hanzheng's teacher Hou Dongsheng looks about fifty years old, elegant and energetic, but he is actually nearly sixty.

He was very satisfied with Xiao Hanzheng, his new direct disciple.

With a loving smile on his face, he said, "Your new home is in a bamboo forest, and the mood is very good."

Xiao Hanzheng said with a friendly smile: "If you like it, teacher, come and stay for a while."

He was accepted as a student by the other party just a few days ago.

This also shocked the teachers and classmates at the county school.

Because he had an appetite for the old man, the other party offered to accept him as his disciple.

The old man had accepted three disciples before, but they were all ten years ago.

He has not accepted a single student in the past ten years. He originally promised that he would never accept another disciple, but he broke his words, which was shocking.

It also aroused the envy, jealousy and soreness of many classmates, and at the same time, more people's attitude towards him changed.

Mr. Hou chuckled and said, "Let's talk about it later."

He accepted the young disciple's wishes.

Then he handed a box to Xiao Hanzheng, which was a housewarming gift from him.

Mo Qingling presented her gift and said with a smile: "Congratulations Jinyu!"

Jin Yu was the nickname given to Xiao Hanzheng by his teacher when he was an apprentice.

Then Mo Qingling took out the imperial decree and said, "In addition to congratulations today, I also brought you the reward from the Holy One!"

As soon as these words came out, the people who came to attend the housewarming ceremony were shocked again.
