After the soil improvement was completed, Wei Ruo instructed Mo mo Zhang, Agui, and Xiaoba to plough the soil and make a reservoir.
After the land was plowed out, Wei Ruo once again came to the wasteland in the south of the city, while also bringing over a large bag of rice seeds.
When Wei Ruo handed a bag of rice seeds to Mo mo Zhang to ask her, Agui and Xiaoba to sow, Mo mo Zhang showed a hesitant expression. After pondering for a while, she spoke up again to persuade Wei Ruo:
"Miss, forgive this old servant for asking, is it really possible to plant rice at this time of the year? How about we switch to some other crops? Anyway, as long as we can grow it, other crops will be fine."
“Just plant this, don’t worry, this seed is a late rice seed that I brought back from Huzhou Prefecture. Someone has already planted it there, and it's just perfectly planted at this time. It won't fail to grow.” Wei Ruo had a firm attitude and was confident.
"Really? There are such seeds?" Mo mo Zhang was astonished.
“What I’ve said is true, but don't spread this news out to the public yet. Wait until the seedlings grow well, then you can spread it out. It will be more convincing.”
If this were said in the past, Mo mo Zhang would never believe it, but now the situation is a bit different. She had a little more trust in Wei Ruo, even if she still felt that some of the ideas of the eldest young lady were too wild. She thought that those old farmers who had been planting crops all their life would disagree with the eldest young lady's ideas.
On the other hand, Agui and Xiaoba didn't think that much.
Agui said: "If Miss says it’s okay, then we’ll listen to Miss!"
Xiaoba also said: "Yes, we'll plant whatever Miss tells us to plant!"
The rest didn’t matter. The eldest young lady was good to them, giving them delicious food to eat, so that they and their family could fill their stomachs. Following the eldest young lady was the right thing to do!
Wei Ruo instructed the two of them: "You should learn and remember well. After this land is successfully developed, other wasteland will be developed in the future. There will be more long-term workers, and you two need to teach and give your experience of improving the land to others. Moreover, the subsequent management and leadership of these people will also be entrusted to you.”
Didn't that mean they will become supervisors in the future?
Agui and Xiaoba excitedly agreed: "Don't worry, Miss, we will work hard!”
The two of them took the rice seeds and began to work hard.
The sowing process was not complicated. When the seeds grow into seedlings, the workload for transplanting the rice seeds would increase.
If the seeds could grow into seedlings smoothly, it meant that Wei Ruo's soil improvement has been more than half successful.
So now they only need to wait for half a month to know if Wei Ruo's soil improvement has been effective.
###
After wandering in the field for a few days, Wei Ruo had just had a free day when she was summoned by Yun Shi to have a talk.
The content of their conversation was still a cliché. Wei Ruo was asked to arrange the affairs of the wasteland in the south of the city to her subordinates, while she went to study at the County Head Magistrate’s Mansion.
Because Wei Ruo had already been urged once, Yun Shi no longer gave her the opportunity to delay it even more. She told Wei Ruo to prepare because she would arrange everything for her in the next two days.
Seeing that she couldn't delay it any longer, Wei Ruo didn't say anything and agreed to Yun Shi's arrangement.
In the evening, Wei Ruo went to the dining hall and had dinner with everyone.
After dinner, everyone sat together to enjoy tea and chat.
