“Miss Wei doesn’t need to worry about this. I will naturally send a Mo mo to help Miss Wei and won’t let Miss Wei personally deal with me or other men.” Chu Lan explained.

Seeing that excuse failed to dispel Chu Lan’s intentions, Wei Ruo looked up at Wei Mingting, hoping that Wei Mingting could speak up and help her refuse.

Wei Mingting seemed to have received Wei Ruo’s distress signal. He turned to look at Chu Lan, “Young master loves the citizens, which is a blessing. However, my daughter currently has no experience in managing large-scale workers, so let her take it step by step……”

Chu Lan interrupted: “Lord Wei, there’s no need to say more. Miss Wei is the most qualified person to improve the wasteland in the south of Xingshan County. If she says she can’t do it, then no one else can.”

Wei Mingting couldn’t help but say: “Since the young master said so, Ruo’er, you should accept it. The young master has a kind heart, so he hopes that the people of Xingshan County can have enough to eat.”

“Okay…” Wei Ruo had no choice either.

After talking with Wei Mingting, County Head of Supervisor Qian, Chu Lan and others, Wei Ruo ordered Agui and Xiaoba to start picking up the rice seedlings and prepared to plant them.

When growing seedlings, they were sowed closely to each other. When transplanting, in order to ensure that each rice plant receives sufficient light and nutrients from the soil, they will have a larger space.

-growing seedlings: sowed closely

-transplanting: each plant has a larger space.

So there must be more than enough seedlings from these two acres of seedling bed to grow rice.

“Father, did some rice seedlings we planted on Mantou Mountain this year have withered?” Wei Ruo asked Wei Mingting.

The Wei family and other families in Xingshan County grew early season rice*, which has already passed the transplanting phrase. If It grows normally, It should be taller than a child now.

*early season rice: rice at transplanting or still unripe.

But Wei Ruo heard that due to weather conditions, the rice in Xingshan County did not grow well, and a large area of rice had withered.

“Your mother did mention it to me.”

During Wei Mingting’s brief stay at home, Yun Shi didn’t want to bother him with trivial matters at home, but the failed crops were related to the autumn harvest. Yun Shi didn’t dare to hide it from Wei Mingting and informed him early to make preparations.

“Father, please find someone to send the extra seedlings to Mantou Mountain in the north of the city to make up for the withered ones.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Mingting was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: “Ruo’er is thoughtful!”

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel that his daughter was very thoughtful, she always thought about her family.

Wei Ruo was thinking that if she sent the seedlings to the north of the city, she could go to Xiaoyang Mountain as well.

As for seedlings, if the Wei family didn’t want it, she could only give them to others. There was no time to plant them in other wastelands before the lands were reclaimed. She did not know about other situations, but it would be a waste not to plant them in Mantou Mountain.

After all, they have worked so hard to grow the seedlings, and it would be a pity to throw them away.

After all the seedlings were picked up, Wei Ruo instructed Agui and Xiaoba to plow the land again and prepare for the transplanting work.

*Plow/plough: a farm tool for loosening or turning the soil before sowing seed or planting.

Then Wei Ruo went back first. As she went back, some of the seedlings were ready to be sent to Mantou Mountain of Wei Family in the north of the city.

On the way back, Wei Ruo leaned over the window of the carriage and looked at the scenery along the way.

Xiumei massaged Wei Ruo’s shoulders and calves.

“Miss, should we pick a few reliable people out ourselves and give the method of improving the land to these people without letting others know how we did it.” Xiumei asked.
