During the Chinese New Year, Daozi fell in love with going out for fun. Every time he opened his eyes, he would drag Xiao Yeyang out of the house.

Xiao Yeyang had nothing to do, but he was happy to accompany his son. He would take rice out of the house every day, either to go shopping or to listen to books in a teahouse.

As the highest official in Xiliang, people pay attention to Xiao Yeyang wherever he goes.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yeyang held his son and met almost all the officials in Liangdu.

"I have to go to the office tomorrow, let me feed my son."

Daozi sat on his exclusive children's chair, feeding rice one spoonful at a time from Daohua.

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

Daohua customized a children's chair for him, and every time it was time to eat, she would lift him up on the chair and prepare it. Only then did he slowly change his habit of running around.

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

Dao Zi took two mouthfuls of the rice fed by Xiao Yeyang, then grabbed the spoon and wanted to eat it himself.

It's a pity that if you can't hold the spoon accurately, you either can't scoop out the food, or you can't put the food into your mouth.

Xiao Yeyang looked on anxiously and was about to grab the spoon from Duo's son and feed it himself, but was stopped by Daohua.

Daohua handed Xiao Yeyang a spoon again: "You feed it and let your son imitate it."

Next, during Xiao Yeyang's feeding, Rice imitated frequently, and finally succeeded in holding the spoon in his mouth.

After dinner, Daohua took her son to eat 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 must develop quickly."

"In the past, the people here suffered from wars all year round, and social development was severely hindered. Now that there are no foreign invasions, all the problems that existed before 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 land well is to keep the local people fed and clothed. The promotion of high-yielding grain varieties is now being carried out in an orderly manner, but economic development cannot rely on this alone."

"The official roads in Xiliang are badly repaired. I want to renovate some of the main official roads in Xiliang. The stone factory produces a lot of cement, so we use cement to build roads."

"There are also inns. Not only are there too few in number, they are also in disrepair, and they are too far apart, which is very unfavorable for passing businessmen to rest."

After listening to Xiao Yeyang's words, Daohua smiled and said: "You must have a good idea. There is a saying that if you want to get rich, build the road first. I support you."

"Xiliang is a large area, and only if the roads are easy to navigate can it attract people from other places. As more people move around, the economy will naturally increase."

"However, infrastructure construction requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Will the company have more turnover here?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "The Wei family left a lot of money, which can last for a period of time. Every year, each guard station can also collect a batch of tax money, and the people who built the roads... I am going to let the troops stationed on the border

When you come to practice, think of it as practice."

Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang had already thought about it, so she didn't ask any more questions. However, when she saw that Xiao Yeyang started to rub his forehead again, she couldn't help but ask: "You haven't made all the arrangements, so what are you worried about?"

Xiao Yeyang sighed: "I'm worried about the soldiers stationed on the border. Most of them are unmarried, and many of them are old and young. Seeing them guarding the border, but they don't even have any descendants to burn incense, I feel so sad.

A little annoying."

Daohua was silent, she had no way to solve this problem.

Xiao Yeyang suddenly said: "The imperial court raids the homes of some powerful officials every year, and these officials keep many maids in captivity. I simply give the emperor a trick and ask him to send all the maids from the prisoner's family to the frontier soldiers.

Forget being a wife."

The more Xiao Yeyang talked about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

Daohua reminded: "If you want to marry a soldier, do you have to build a house for your family to live in first?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I will allocate a piece of land near Jiangjun Town to build a house." After saying that, he stood up in a hurry and went directly to write the book.

Being so positive shows that he often worries about the marriages of soldiers.

......

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

In February, when spring plowing began in various places, the rice flowers also became busy.

The climate here in Liangdu is better than that in Ganzhouwei. By mid-February, the temperature is not so cold and sowing can be carried out.

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

As for the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, there are no requirements for the rice flowers in the first year. The tenants are allowed to plant some corn and potatoes to cultivate the land, and dig out canals at the same time.

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

As the No. 1 family in Xiliang, the Wei family naturally owns the best village and pasture.

The fields in both Zhuangzi were high-quality fertile fields. When Daohua saw that the tenants were cultivating them in an orderly manner, they didn't stay any longer and went directly to the pasture.

This pasture is not as big as the one Daohua bought in Ganzhou Wei, but it is in a good location 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, she happened to encounter a herdsman shearing the sheep.

Yan Shouhou saw the rice flowers staring at them and said quickly: "The sheep raised in this pasture are sheep breeds, and the wool can be harvested every spring and autumn."

Daohua asked: "How will they use the wool?"

Yan Shouhou: "The wool will be sold to merchants, who will twist the wool into thread and then weave it into wool blankets and wool felts."

Daohua thought of the woolen sweater she wore in her previous life and asked, "No one uses wool to make sweaters?"

Yan Shouhou was silent for a moment: "Compared to cotton-padded clothes, clothes made of wool are still too expensive, and I have never heard of them."

Daohua nodded: "Don't sell this batch of wool. Let the rancher wash the wool and send it to the government. I have other uses."

After that, Daohua took Daozi to play in the pasture for a while, and then went home.

After returning home, Daohua drew needles for large sweaters and gave them to Gu Yu, asking her to ask the carpenter in the home to make a few sets.

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

There were maids and women in the house who knew how to spin, so Daohua found a few people and asked them to spin out several wool threads of different thicknesses according to her requirements.

After that, I bought dye to color the wool, and all the wool was dyed. It was already the end of March.

"What are you going to do?"

There was a lot of movement in Daohua, which attracted Guo Ruomei.

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

Guo Ruomei: "Just leave these things to the servants, why do you need to do it yourself."

Daohua: "They don't know what I want to do." After saying that, she took out two needles and started knitting in front of Guo Ruomei.

"The wool blankets and wool felts woven by textile machines are simply unaffordable to ordinary people, but those made of bamboo needles like mine are affordable to many people."

Seeing the rice flowers weaving out a piece in a short time, Guo Ruomei was surprised: "I only knew that the textile machine could weave cloth, but I didn't expect that two bamboo sticks could weave it."

As he said that, he looked at Daohua in surprise, "How could you do this?"
