Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 182 Growing Grain in Space

After talking about food, Yun Xi brought up the issue of free medical care.

"Children can see doctors and get medicine for free when they are sick. Also, pregnant women are encouraged to go to the clinic for regular checkups. This is also free."

Of course, many people would find this troublesome and would waste time doing farm work, etc. They would not be willing to go for prenatal checkups.

She added, "You don't need to check every month. You only need to check once in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy. If you can check on time, you will be rewarded with half a pound of brown sugar or something."

As long as there is a reward, I believe many people will check it out.

"No matter what, it all depends on us paying money." Yun Yan muttered softly.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "That's right, so I put economic development first. If the economy develops well, we can make more money, and the people can live a better life. It can also attract merchants from other places. In fact, it can not only attract merchants from other places, but also refugees from other places. And if refugees are used well, they can become good citizens."

"Do you mean taking in refugees?" Ying Tianchen asked.

"Yes, actually there are refugees in many places every year, but no one wants to come to the South. We can let the merchants who travel around to advertise that all refugees who come to Jiaozhou can settle down and get land. But they have to open up the land themselves. There will be no tax in the first two years, and they can also borrow grain from the government at the beginning."

The reason why refugees are called refugees is that they cannot settle down after fleeing from their hometowns for various reasons.

Either return to your hometown or wander around.

Since they had fled from their hometown, they would die if they went back, so it was impossible for them to go back. They had no choice but to wander around.

Some sold themselves into slavery, some became beggars, some became bandits, and some were left to starve to death in the wilderness.

Anyway, the ending is not good.

If there is a place where they can settle down and have a place to make a living, they will definitely be willing.

Ying Tianchen and Yun Yan both thought this was a good idea.

"But if this is the case, will the imperial court not allow it?" Yun Yan said.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "No, at least not in the next two years. First of all, refugees are also a headache for the court. They would be happy if someone took over.

Secondly, if the imperial court does not allow it, do you think the refugees will agree? Will it arouse public indignation?"

Yun Yan suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand. As long as Jiaozhou spreads this rumor, it will be difficult for the imperial court to stop it whether it wants to or not."

Ying Tianchen nodded and looked at Yun Xi with a smile, admiring her wisdom very much.

Then they discussed some specific matters. It was not until after noon, after lunch, that Yun Xi and Yun Yan left in a carriage.

Instead of going back to the village directly, I went to the herbal medicine store.

Yun Xi wanted to buy some medicinal seeds and plant them in the space.

It was only when I arrived at the pharmacy and asked the owner that I found out that there were no medicinal seeds for sale.

Nowadays, all medicinal herbs are wild. I have never heard of anyone growing them, let alone selling seeds.

Yun Xi thought, it seems that she can only wait until she has time to go to the mountains to dig medicinal herbs and plant them herself.

The weather is still quite cold now, I will go to the mountain after the New Year and the beginning of spring.

In this case, they will first grow more food in the space. Now they need to store as much food as possible.

"Brother, don't tell our parents about the assassin last night when you get home. They will be worried." Yun Xi warned.

Yun Yan asked, "Then Big Brother won't tell me either?"

"Brother wants to say that from now on, the three of us brothers and sisters must divide the work and cooperate with each other."

Yun Xi plans to hand over the business to Yun Qi, and Yun Yan will be responsible for training with Yun Sheng.

They also need to train their own manpower.

"Second brother, you and Yunsheng should take in more beggars. Let Yunsheng send more people out to bring back the beggars for training."

Yun Yan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, little sister. Second brother will definitely train a group of people well."

The two returned to the village and went to find Yunqi.

The three siblings stayed in the room, whispering to each other for a long time before they went out.

Yun Xi went to find Yun Huaishan.

"Uncle, do you have any grain seeds? Can you give me some?"

"What do you want seeds for?" Yun Huaishan asked puzzledly.

"It's the tenant farmers at Tianchen Manor who need it. Please give me some more seeds if you have any."

Sure enough, when Yun Huaishan heard that it was Ying Tianchen who needed it, he stopped asking more questions.

There was only enough grain seeds left for next year, and Yun Huaishan took them all out.

"It's all here now. I'll just have to spend money to buy it again next year."

Yun Xi was very happy when she saw the bags of grain seeds in the warehouse, including rice seeds and wheat seeds.

"Uncle, don't worry. The prince will return these seeds to us in due time. We don't need to spend extra money to buy them."

Yun Huaishan waved his hand, "It's okay if you don't pay it back. At most we can just spend a few dollars. We can't let the prince think that our family is stingy."

Yun Xi smiled, "He won't."

Having said that, he and Yun Huaishan walked out of the warehouse.

"Uncle, I'll leave the key to the warehouse with you for now. I'll return it to you after Tianchen moves the grain seeds away."

"no problem."

Yun Xi left the yard and went to the field to check the situation.

Now almost all the fields have been turned into greenhouses, and each greenhouse has someone to look after it.

The greenhouse does grow a lot of out-of-season fruits, vegetables, and rosemary, but the cost is indeed high.

When the weather gets cold, the temperature in the shed needs to be maintained at a certain level every day, so we have to heat the kang more.

It is a waste of firewood, manpower and energy.

Fortunately, the profits are considerable. A plate of small green vegetables at Qixinglou costs several taels of silver. Cucumbers and beans are even more expensive.

The rosemary used to make soap is even more profitable.

But this is not enough. There will be many places to spend money in the future, and she needs to create a few more profitable industries.

At night, Yun Xi secretly went to the warehouse and put the grain seeds into the space.

Then he went back to his yard, closed the door, and got into bed.

It is safest to enter the space consciously while lying in bed.

Yun Xi's consciousness worked in the space for most of the night before it finally planted all the seeds.

In fact, rice needs to be raised and planted in the fields.

The space was filled with black soil, so Yun Xi simply spread the seeds directly on the ground.

She believes that anything can be grown in the soil in the space.

Even if all the grains were planted, the space and land would not be fully planted.

Yunxi went to look for various vegetable seeds, as well as flowers and plants.

A lot of rosemary was also planted. The peach tree next to the space well had also been transplanted, and many peach branches were cut and directly planted in the ground.

There were several plum trees in the village, and Yunxi also broke off many branches and put them into the space. It was the blooming season, and the space was full of purple and red, which was very beautiful.

Yun Xi was busy looking for various things to plant during the day, and she had to work till midnight to plant and water the land at night. Although she entered the space with her consciousness, it was also very energy-consuming. After a few days, she had dark circles under her eyes.

"Didn't you get enough rest these days?"

That day, Ying Tianchen came to the village to find her. Seeing that she looked haggard, he couldn't help but worry.

He felt that Yun Xi was in a state of low spirits because she was overly worried about their plans.

When I saw her calm look that day, I thought she really wasn't worried at all. I didn't expect that she was actually so worried that she couldn't sleep well.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms, "I'm sorry, Xier, it's my fault for making you worry."

Yun Xi was confused. Why did he start apologizing for no reason?

Worried? What was she worried about?

"What's wrong?" Yun Xi stepped out of his arms and asked.

Ying Tianchen said, "Are you worried about what we have planned? Don't worry, I will arrange everything. We are not in a hurry, just take our time."

Yun Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not worried about that. We have to do this step by step. It would be good if we can achieve some results in three to five years, and ten to eight years is normal. If I really worry, then how can we live our lives in the future?"

Ying Tianchen scratched her nose and said, "It's good that you think so. Then what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

"I'm just... just researching three-season rice." Yun Xi made an excuse.

Ying Tianchen sighed softly and hugged her again, "Thank you for your hard work, Xier."

This matter is of great importance, and Ying Tianchen cannot stop it even if he feels distressed.

I can only think of compensating from other places.
