In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. As soon as it got light in the morning, Master Fang woke up the yamen runners, ate the dry food he brought with him, and then set off back.
This trip went more smoothly than they had imagined. Master Fang and Liu Yifang looked at each other and felt relieved.
Nothing happened on the way back, and as the tax revenue from Tongjia Village arrived, the tax revenue of Xianyou Town came to an end.
The next thing was to keep half of the tax grain and send the other half to the court. As for the candidate, it was simple. Liu Yifang would naturally have a share, after all, he was a government official in Kyoto before.
Mr. Fang is very familiar with the entire Kyoto, and he is still young, so he can go out for a walk. However, the government office was a bit busy, so Mr. Fang did not go this time.
Mu Yexiao looked at Liu Yifang and said, "Liu Yifang, you and Zijiang should go together this time. After you send him off, come back."
Liu Yifang was originally worried! The prince asked him to send the grain back, would he let them come back? Since he had already spoken, there would naturally be no problem.
"Don't worry, sir. We will definitely deliver the food to Kyoto safely and come back to report."
Yeah! Mu Yexiao thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then when you are ready, leave early and come back early."
Xianyou Town was originally a remote corner of the Great Zhou, very far away from Kyoto, so there was no problem in setting off early.
Liu Yifang naturally understood, so he divided the things and set off that day. The biggest thing was done, and then it was time to get busy with the development of Xianyou Town.
Mu Yexiao knew that Nan Nan bought some land specifically for growing peppers. The climate here is really suitable for growing peppers, and the peppers grown here taste great.
Originally, he and Qian Jiujiu had discussed getting a batch of medicinal herbs and then distributing them to each village to see which village would grow them. Now, there are more options, such as growing vegetables.
Fang Xiaoxi must be able to make things like dried vegetables. Since this matter is related to Fang Xiaoxi, Mu Yexiao also plans to call Fang Xiaoxi over.
Someone was sent to the academy to deliver a message, asking Fang Xiaoxi to come over after school. So after school, Fang Xiaoxi followed Nanbeibei and her group to the county government office.
"Master, do you have something to ask me?"
Mu Yexiao looked at Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Do you know how to make dried vegetables? The kind that is made by dehydrating vegetables, the kind that can be preserved for a long time."
Fang Xiaoxi was startled, but she reacted quickly. She thought that her master would not harm her, so she told the truth: "I can do it. Does the master want me to do it?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Yes, I thought about it, if I grow medicinal herbs, the income will be slow, and it will take a year or two in the short term, but for vegetables, it will be faster. If I can't finish eating them, I can make them into dried vegetables and sell them to other places, which should make a lot of money."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked innocently, and suddenly realized who Nan Nan inherited such a good business acumen from. It turned out that her master was also good at business. She smiled and said, "It's OK."
"If Master wants to do it, I can contribute the method of making dried vegetables to you. It's best if the government takes the lead in this matter. I just don't know which village Master plans to select to help them get rid of poverty and become rich?"
Getting rid of poverty and becoming rich? This phrase is really an accurate description. He smiled and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Do you have any good recommendations?"
Fang Xiaoxi shook her head: "No, I just want to ask if our Fang Village can take advantage of us."
This question was very direct, and Mu Yexiao burst into laughter. "You, that's a good point. Since you are the one who contributed the method of making dried vegetables, then your village should be included. How about building a workshop in your village to make dried vegetables?"
Fang Xiaoxi likes to eat, especially delicious food. And now she suddenly has a premonition that all the delicious food she likes can be reproduced in this world, and through her hands.
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoxi instantly became interested: "Thank you, Master."
Mu Yexiao laughed: "Okay, Nannan will take you to write down the recipe for making dried vegetables. After writing it, have dinner in the other courtyard and then go back."
Fang Xiaoxi followed happily. Nan Nan rolled his eyes and said, "I say, you guy, why are you so happy when someone takes your things for free?"
Fang Xiaoxi snorted when she heard this: "What do you know? This is for Xianyou Town, it's a great thing. I am naturally happy that I can do my part."
Moreover, if the government takes over this matter, her wish will be realized sooner. With this in mind, Fang Xiaoxi started writing the prescription.
The first one was a recipe for making dried vegetables, followed by dried fruits, then canned fruits, and some edible things. She made everything she could think of.
"Mu Nannan, look, these are the things I want to eat right now. I wonder when I can get them? These things can be sold everywhere outside?"
Fang Xiaoxi wrote one, and Nan Nan read one. After reading it, Nan Nan was completely dumbfounded: "Are you still human? What's in your head? Why do you know so much?"
Fang Xiaoxi was shocked by this question. Oh my god, I forgot that I am a peasant girl now. Even though I have a master, he has never taught me these things.
If I were to speak out my thoughts now, Nan Nan probably wouldn't pursue the matter, but what about the master? Would they think I was a monster
Mu Nannan looked at Fang Xiaoxi in a daze, a little speechless: "Why don't you answer my question? Did my mother teach you this? Is it the recipe in the cookbook? My mother actually gave you such a good thing, you are really lucky."
Seeing that Nan Nan had misunderstood, Fang Xiaoxi did not explain this time. She just coughed twice and said a little embarrassedly: "It means that these things are destined to be mine. Are you jealous?"
Rolling his eyes, Nan Nan ignored Fang Xiaoxi who looked a little proud, and took the recipes to find Mu Yexiao: "Dad, Fang Xiaoxi has researched a lot of recipes from the cookbook, do you want to try them all?"
He gave all the recipes in his hand to Mu Yexiao, who was stunned for a moment. Are these things all in the cookbook
He had seen the recipe at first, but he didn't finish it, so he didn't know that there was a secret recipe recorded at the back of the recipe.
"Then let's try them all. If it works, it really won't be difficult for Xianyou Town to become prosperous."
Nan Nan said with some disdain: "Even if we don't have these things, it's very easy to make Xianyou Town rich. My Cuju can be popular all over the world. Speaking of which, our next Cuju competition will be in two days. Dad, take mom to watch it."
Mu Yexiao hummed: "Then I'll ask your mother to see if she wants to go. By the way, where's Xiaoxi?"
"She went to the kitchen on her own initiative. She must be going to prepare dinner. I think this disciple of my mother is really useful."
Nan Nan couldn't help but sigh that Fang Xiaoxi was really talented. Tonight, her mother must be very happy to eat the meal made by Fang Xiaoxi.
Mu Yexiao also got what he wanted. After waving his hand to send Nan Nan away, he went to find Qian Jiujiu and showed them to Rabbit to identify the prescriptions. It would be best to try them in the space to see if they worked.
If it works, then we can start in a big way, let the villagers plan things, prepare to start organizing, distribute them to the village, and decide what to plant.
Arriving at the pharmacy, Qian Jiujiu just put down the pills in his hand and said: "You came at the right time. I have finished my work for today. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mu Yexiao seldom came to the pharmacy to look for Qian Jiujiu. Qian Jiujiu would always come to him after she was done with her work. Mu Yexiao took out a stack of secret recipes and said, "I got them from Xiaoxi. Let's go to the space and try to see if they work."
Qian Jiujiu was also very interested in the recipes, so she took Mu Yexiao directly into the space and began to organize the secret recipes. Rabbit also came over happily to help.
It took three days and three nights to test all these secret recipes and found that they really worked. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were very satisfied. As for the Cuju competition on the second day, other people in Xianyou Town went, and it was quite lively.
But Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu did not go, he had more important things to do! He even started to work hard to transform Xianyou Town. Mu Yexiao made a decision, and the people below, of course, ran around to cater to him.
So the yamen runners started working again. After assigning the villages, they went to each village and notified the village chiefs to come to the county yamen for a meeting.
When the village heads heard the news, they all looked at each other in surprise. To be honest, this lord of theirs really was not an ordinary person. He really loved to make trouble.
Even the master's son is like this. The academy in the beginning and Cuju later were all initiated by him. But this is very interesting and makes Xianyou Town more lively.
I just don't know what good news the lord is looking for them this time? That's right, every time the county magistrate looks for them, it's good news, and this time must be the same.
They all came to the yamen happily. The hall for receiving the village heads was already prepared, and even tea was provided.
Just like a student in class, he found a seat and sat down, watching the village leaders all come. Only then did Master Fang go to inform Mu Yexiao.
"Sir, the village leaders are here, you can go over now."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Okay, take these things with you. They will definitely come in handy later."
These things were the products that he and Qian Jiujiu had worked hard for three days and three nights a few days ago.
