Chapter 580 Arriving at Jiliao
So she kept this secret in her heart for the time being in order to maintain the close and natural relationship with her second brother.
Wei Jin can also hear that the "man like that" in Wei Ruo's words is concrete.
Has she met that person?
What kind of man is that?
Thinking of this, Wei Jin couldn't help but tighten his hands hidden in his sleeves.
Then the two of them looked to one side, each with their own thoughts.
The same thing is that no one continued this topic or chose to pierce the window paper.
###
The sixth day of March.
Although the weather is a bit cold, the sun is shining brightly, just like Wei Ruo's mood.
Wei Ruo and his party finally arrived at their palace in Jiliao.
Wei Ruo jumped off the carriage, followed closely by Wei Jin who also put his cloak on Wei Ruo.
“This place is no better than the capital city, so don’t freeze.”
"Um."
Wei Ruo gathered his clothes and then looked up at the door.
The entire gate is very old, only the plaque is newly replaced, with the three characters "Prince Rui's Mansion" written on it.
This will be their future home.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also entered the door.
This official residence is smaller than their royal residence in the capital, and is quite simple and dilapidated. It looks a bit in disrepair.
But even this is already the most luxurious building in the neighborhood.
Wei Ruolai has already seen it on the way. This area is vast and sparsely populated, the people are poor, the houses are simple, and even the government offices are dilapidated.
Wei Ruo does not dislike this at all, and is even full of expectations.
Part of the rooms have been cleaned by the advance troops, and Wei Ruo and others can move in directly.
Because the house is not big, there are only two spacious and bright yards in the backyard, and the rest are relatively small.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also live in the same place, this time it is the same as they did in the Wei family in Xingshan County, the houses are next to each other.
Just as Xiumei brought a ladder in, Wei Ruo leaned the ladder against the wall and leaned on the wall to look at the next door.
Wei Jin was also keenly aware of the eyes staring at him, raised his head, and met Wei Ruo's smiling face.
Wei Jinyi also had a smile on his face, and he looked at Wei Ruo with soft eyes.
“What are you looking at?” Wei Jin also asked.
“Let’s see if my second brother’s yard is suitable for growing bamboo.”
Because bamboo is grown in the Yingzhu Garden of Wei Jinyi in Xingshan County.
“There is room for planting in the yard, but it’s just that it’s hard to grow bamboo in this land, isn’t it?”
“Then I want to try to see if my ability to grow and live can be applied to bamboo.”
“Well, it’s up to you.”
“Second brother, do you think my yard is called Tingsong Garden or Songzhu Garden?” Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jin also paused, and for a moment he didn't understand what Wei Ruo's intention was in asking this question.
“Well, it’s up to you.”
“Second brother, will we still eat together in the future?” Wei Ruo continued to ask.
During the last period of their stay in the capital and on the way here, they always ate together.
"According to your."
"Second brother, can you change your answer? Don't always rely on me. If you really rely on me, then I might do something." Wei Ruo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"If Ruo'er is willing, I would like to have dinner with Ruo'er." Wei Jin also replied.
He is willing, but he is afraid that she will not be willing, that she will be in trouble, and that he will disturb her.
“That’s good!” After receiving a satisfactory answer, Wei Ruocai climbed down from the wall.

After moving in, Wei Ruo immediately started busy with matters related to spring sowing.
Everything has its time and time waits for no one. Wei Ruo doesn’t want to miss the best time for farming this year.
Although the land of Jiliao is Wei Jinyi's fiefdom, Wei Jinyi has no administrative jurisdiction over the place. Most of the people and land are still responsible for the government here.
However, as a fief, the prince was allocated a large amount of land, which Wei Ruo wanted to arrange at the moment.
This wave of spring sowing Wei Ruo plans to plant potatoes, which are potatoes. This is a new seed that her space has just upgraded and unlocked!
Wei Ruo has been waiting for potatoes a long time ago. This crop is very high-yielding. In the world she lived in before, this crop fed countless people and ushered in a population explosion.
She thought that since sweet potatoes were unlocked, potatoes should also be available.
Sure enough, it really came, and the timing was just right!
She was really dozing off and someone gave her a pillow. She just happened to be experimenting with this piece of black soil!
It’s not that this place is not suitable for growing rice. In fact, rice can be grown in Jiliao land.
Not only can it be grown, but as long as there are cold and frost-resistant varieties, the quality of rice grown on this land is also very high.
It’s just that the conditions for growing rice are not yet available, and now is the time when food is in urgent need, and compared to rice, potatoes have a shorter growth cycle!
The potatoes grown in Weiruo Space are early-maturing varieties, and it only takes sixty days from emergence to harvest.
In this way, they can plant for at least three seasons before winter comes!
Wei Ruo not only planned to plant potatoes on the land under the name of Prince Rui's Mansion, but also planned to let the nearby people grow potatoes with him.
Wei Ruo needs to make some preparations for this. Changing grain seeds is a big deal. Land resources are limited. If you plant the wrong grain, you cannot change it casually. This is related to the livelihood of the family. Therefore, if Wei wanted to convince them in a short period of time, he had to come up with reasons that could convince them.
First of all, the first thing Wei Ruo plans to do is to distribute food!
In addition to the part of the food that was transported with Wei Ruo and his team this time, nearly a hundred carts of food will be delivered in the future.
These were previously stored by Wei Ruo in warehouses near Prince Rui's Mansion and the capital.
Because the car was heavy and we had to be extra careful about bandits along the way, it took a little longer than Wei Ruo and his main team. Even if they set off a few days earlier, they would still have to arrive a few days later.
Wei Ruo planned to keep part of the grain as rations for the royal family this year, and the rest was distributed to local residents based on the statistical population.
Anyway, she usually uses excess food to provide disaster relief. Although the people in this Jiliao land have not yet become displaced and become victims of disasters, judging from what she has seen along the way, they are not far away from becoming refugees.
She is going to use the food for disaster relief anyway, so why not use it to save the people in her own land?
Moreover, her move can also win a certain reputation for the palace and help her carry out subsequent work.
So Wei Ruo called Zhang Yi, Ke Chongshan, Yu Zixiu and others over, circled a place on the map, and told a few people about his decision to distribute food to the people in this area.
This decision of Wei Ruo surprised and puzzled Zhang Yi, Ke Chongshan, Yu Zixiu and others.
They thought that Wei Ruo's move was too risky. It was good to save people, but if the food was only left for one year, it was really risky.
