There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 961

[Chapter 961 Chapter 961, Knitting a sweater]

, Daozi fell in love with going out to play, and every day when he opened his eyes, he would drag Xiao Yeyang out of the house.

Xiao Yeyang was fine, but he was happy to accompany his son. Every day he would take the rice out of the house, either to go shopping, or to the teahouse to listen to books.

As the highest official in Xiliang, Xiao Yeyang was followed wherever he went.

From the first day of the new year to the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yeyang hugged his son and met almost all the officials in Liangdu.

“I’m going to the office tomorrow, so let me feed my son.”

Daozi sat on his exclusive children’s chair, and Daohua fed him spoonful by spoonful.

The little guy is very active, since he can walk and run, he is extremely uncooperative when eating, either running to play with this, or running to get that.

Daohua customized a children’s chair for him, and every time it was time to eat, he hugged him to the chair and made it ready, but this slowly made him change his habit of running around.

Daohua handed the rice bowl in her hand to Xiao Yeyang, and then began to eat her own.

After eating two mouthfuls of Xiao Yeyang’s rice, Daozi grabbed the spoon and wanted to eat it by himself.

It’s a pity that I can’t hold the spoon accurately, either I can’t scoop up the food, or the food can’t be fed into my mouth.

Xiao Yeyang watched anxiously from the side, and was about to snatch the spoon from his son to feed himself, but was stopped by Daohua.

Daohua handed Xiao Yeyang a spoon again: “Feed yours and let the son imitate himself.”

Next, during Xiao Yeyang’s feeding, Daozi imitated repeatedly, and finally managed to put the spoon in his mouth .

After eating, Daohua led her son to digest food in the house, while Xiao Yeyang sat on the recliner and watched the news coming from everywhere.

“Now that there is no threat from Xiliao for the time being, Xiliang has to develop quickly.”

“In the past, the people here suffered from wars all the year round, and social development was seriously hindered. Now that there is no foreign invasion, all kinds of problems that existed in the past should be solved.”

“Since I took over Xiliang, I have to restore people’s livelihood.”

Daohua: “What do you want to do?”

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while: “The most fundamental thing to manage a piece of land well is to let the local people have enough food and clothing. The promotion of high-yield grain varieties is now proceeding in an orderly manner, but the economic It’s not enough to rely solely on this.”

“The official roads in Xiliang are too poorly built. I want to rebuild some of the main official roads in Xiliang. A lot of cement has been smelted in the stone factory, so I use Concrete roads.”

“There are also post stations. Not only are the number of post stations too small, they are also in disrepair, and the distance between them is too far away, which is very unfavorable for passing businessmen to rest.”

Daohua smiled after hearing Xiao Yeyang’s words: ” You have to have a good idea. There is a saying that if you want to get rich, build roads first, and I support you.”

“Xiliang has a large area, and only when the roads are easy to walk can people from other places be attracted. More people flow, and the economy will naturally Just follow up.”

“However, it takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build the infrastructure. Is there much turnover here?”

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: “The Wei family has left a lot of money, which can support For a period of time, each guard station can also collect a batch of tax money every year, and I plan to let the garrison troops to repair the road repairers, and it will be regarded as a drill.”

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, Daohua had already thought about it, so she didn’t leave Ask more, but seeing him start rubbing his forehead again, he couldn’t help but ask: “You have made all the arrangements, why worry?”

Xiao Yeyang sighed: “I am worried about the soldiers stationed on the frontier, they are extremely powerful. Some people don’t have wives, and some of them are old and young. Seeing them guarding the border, but they don’t even have a descendant who burns incense, I feel a little annoyed.” Daohua was

silent, and she couldn’t solve this problem.

Xiao Yeyang said suddenly: “The imperial court raids the homes of some high-ranking officials every year. These officials’ homes have kept a lot of servant girls. I simply told Uncle Huang to send all the servant girls from the prisoner’s family to the frontier soldiers. Just be a wife.” The

more Xiao Yeyang talked, the more he felt that this idea was good.

Daohua reminded: “If you want to marry a soldier, don’t you have to build a house for the family?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded: “I will set aside a piece of land near Jiangjun Town to build a house.” After finishing, he got up in a hurry and went directly to write the notes.

Being so active, it can be seen that he is not less worried about the marriage of soldiers.

After the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yeyang started to get busy again.

In February, after spring plowing began in various places, Daohua also became busy.

The climate here in Liangdu is better than that in Ganzhouwei. In mid-February, the temperature is not so cold, and it is possible to sow seeds.

Daohua bought two villages and a pasture before, but she didn’t go to see them. Taking the opportunity of spring plowing, she planned to take her son there to have a look.

As for the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, there was no requirement for Daohua in the first year, so the tenants were asked to plant some corn and potatoes to raise the land, and dug out the canal by the way.

At the beginning of March, the temperature had obviously warmed up, so Daohua took the rice out of the mansion and went straight to Zhuangzi and the pasture outside the city.

As the No. 1 family in Xiliang, the Wei family holds the best Zhuangzi and ranch.

The fields of the two Zhuangzi are all high-quality good fields. Daohua saw that the tenants were farming in an orderly manner, so she didn’t stay much, and went directly to the pasture.

This pasture is not as big as Daohua bought in Ganzhouwei, but the location is very good, and the pasture grows very lush.

When Daohua bought the pasture, she directly bought all the cattle and sheep raised in the pasture. When the carriage drove into the pasture, it happened to meet the herders who were shearing the sheep.

Seeing Daohua staring at it, Yan Shouhou said quickly, “The sheep raised in this pasture are of the sheep breed, and the wool can be harvested once every spring and autumn.”

Daohua asked, “How will they use the wool?”

Yan Shouhou said, “They will sell the wool to merchants, who will twist the wool into threads, and then weave wool blankets and wool felts.”

Daohua thought of the woolen clothes she wore in her previous life , and asked again: “Does anyone use wool to make sweaters?”

Yan Shouhou was silent for a moment: “Compared to cotton clothes, wool clothes are still too expensive, and I haven’t heard much about small ones.”

Daohua nodded: “Don’t sell this batch of wool. Let the people in the ranch wash the wool and send it to the mansion. I have other uses.”

After that, Daohua played with the rice in the ranch for a while, and then went back to the mansion. up.

After returning home, Dao Hua drew the stick needles for the big sweater, and then gave it to Gu Yu, and asked her to ask the carpenter in the house to make a few sets.

In mid-March, Yan Shouhou sent several boxes of washed wool to the palace.

There are maids and women in the mansion who know how to spin yarn. Daohua found a few people and asked them to spin wool yarns of different thicknesses according to her requirements.

Afterwards, I bought dyes to color the woolen yarns, and the woolen yarns were all dyed, and it was already the end of March.

“What are you going to do?”

Daohua made a lot of noise, attracting Guo Ruomei.

Daohua smiled and said: “I want to knit clothes with wool.”

Guo Ruomei: “Let the servants do these things, why do you need to do it yourself. ” Daohua: ”

They don’t know what I want to do.” After speaking, he took out two needles and started knitting in front of Guo Ruomei.

“Wool blankets and wool felts woven by textile machines are not affordable for ordinary people, but those made of bamboo knitting like mine are affordable for many people.

” When a piece came out, Guo Ruomei was surprised: “I only know that the loom can weave cloth, but I didn’t expect two bamboo sticks to weave.”

Then, looking at Daohua in surprise, “How can you do this?”

Daohua: “… I read it in the storybook.”
