Chapter 600 Inheritance
Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded. After he left, she looked at the man named Mao Yuan and said, "Your name is Mao Yuan."
When Mao Yuan heard her calling him, he quickly came over and bowed respectfully: "Madam, I'm sorry for what happened just now."
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Xia Wanniang said, "I am not such a fussy person. The reason why I asked His Majesty to send you here is because I want you to teach the people to read. Just call me Madam like the mayor and the others."
Mao Yuan looked at her puzzledly: "Madam, do you want them to take the imperial examination?"
Xia Wanniang suddenly laughed: "No, people's life span is limited, but books and texts can be passed down for a long time. The experience and wisdom of our ancestors are also in these books."
She looked at Mao Yuan and said, "You are a scholar, so you should know the wealth here better than I do."
Mao Yuan nodded, somewhat skeptical of the rumors: Everyone said that this princess was a peasant woman, but she didn't look like a peasant woman at all!
Xia Wanniang didn't know what he was thinking: "Whether it's medical skills, agriculture, crafts, or craftsmen, these all need to be passed down. Word of mouth is not as detailed and specific as books, don't you think?"
Mao Yuan bowed quickly and said, "I am grateful for your teaching. I will definitely teach you with all my heart."
Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Okay, let the village chief take you to where you live, but you have to participate in farm work. I don't think it will work for you to take the imperial examination, but agronomy may not be a way out."
Mao Yuan knew that she was reminding him: "Yes."
She asked everyone to have a good rest today, because they would have to get up before dawn tomorrow to pick watermelons and cantaloupes, as they would all be shipped out.
After picking here, they have to rush to the vineyard as the grapes are ripe this year.
Xiong Da arrived before dawn and was so happy when he saw Xia Wanniang and the children.
Xibao and Xile had never seen him before and were not quite used to his enthusiasm, but they soon started playing with him.
Xia Wanniang hadn't seen him for a long time, but his appearance hadn't changed much: "Are you three brothers not planning to get married?"
Xiong Da scratched his head and laughed: "We travel all over the place every day, which woman would be willing to follow us?"
Xia Wanniang felt a headache: "Forget it, forget it, as long as you are happy."
Xiong Da and his friends didn't really want to get married. They traveled all over the place, and they were not used to settling down. "Madam, where should we send these things?"
Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "Send some to various cities in the northwest, and sell the rest outside. Let Mr. Qiu decide the price. I won't worry about it."
She thought for a moment and said, "We must send the Northwest Army and the city defense troops there. We can't say that we want to feed them enough, but we want them to have a taste of what they have grown on the land they are guarding."
Xiong Da immediately took people and the villagers to pick watermelons. They even laid hay on the ox cart to prevent the watermelons from being damaged by bumps and collisions.
Mao Yuan arrived before dawn, and unlike his arrogance from yesterday, he humbly asked the villagers for advice.
The villagers all knew that this was the teacher from the village. Although they disliked him yesterday, the change today made them feel that this teacher was not as annoying as he seemed.
Cartloads of fruits and vegetables are pulled out. The harvest season always makes people busy and happy.
We have been busy for a long time and finally managed to transport this crop of fruits and vegetables. By the time the next crop comes, the number of fruits and vegetables will be less than this time.
Xia Wanniang asked them to arrange to take the fruits to the escort agency in the town or sell them themselves. At this time next year, she would still ask the escort agency to collect the fruits.
The villagers were very happy because it meant that as long as they were not lazy, they would have a harvest every year.
The potato harvest will not be until next month, and the sweet potatoes will not be until autumn, and she will send someone over then.
After Xia Wanniang finished arranging things here, she prepared to rush to the vineyard. They were going to make wine this year, so she had to go and take a look.
When the villagers knew she was leaving, they gave her eggs, vegetables they grew themselves, and even food.
Xia Wanniang refused: "Our carriage can't hold so much, you can keep these for the children to eat, and follow Mr. Maoyuan to study and learn to read, I am here to take the exam."
The villagers all smiled widely.
Mao Yuan followed the labor during this period and found that he was quite useless. Even the children were better than him. He really couldn't lift anything with his hands or carry anything on his shoulders.
"Madam, I will teach well and learn well."
Xia Wanniang looked at them with a smile, waved, and took the children to the vineyard.
