Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Chapter 126 The Strongest Worker

Business is all about results, and the result of making money really made Lin Yiqing unable to accuse Xu Siyu of any fault.

so be it.

Now their family earns two hundred thousand taels a year, which makes them the richest man in Changjia Prefecture. If they continue to compete, they can become the richest man in the southwest or the richest man in Ming Dynasty. This path is attractive to him, but it doesn't seem so tempting anymore.

When the two finished arguing about how to make money, they turned to another deep and troublesome topic - children's education.

Since they returned to Changjia Mansion, Lin Xuan and Lin Cuiwei have been staying at home.

They dropped out of the ethnic school.

During the four months that the couple was away, the Xu family's school life was in chaos because of them.

Mr. Du, who was always generous, personally sent the person back.

Mr. Du also told Xu Siyu in detail how naughty the two children were.

Lin Xuan is smart and lively, but he is unstable. Whenever he has to recite, he sneaks out to play.

Go up the mountain to dig for earthworms and go down to the river to catch fish and shrimps.

If the teacher wasn't paying attention, he would slip away from the classroom like a loach.

With his cousin taking the lead, he also influenced several grandchildren who didn't like reading very much, and they all relied on him to "protect" them and stopped studying.

And Lin Cuiwei is a greedy girl.

Because she was young, she was placed at the end of the class. We didn't expect her to learn well, but we didn't expect her to hide at the back and eat and drink comfortably every day.

This was nothing in itself. She would eat it quietly and Mr. Du would not point it out.

But the little girl wasn't one to keep quiet. She was generous and remembered that sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone. She passed the food she brought from the back to the front to share with everyone, disrupting the classroom's silence. Master Du was so angry that he hit her palm with a cane and used the example of Xu Siyu hiding from eating when she was a student to teach her a lesson. As a result, the little girl later learned to restrain herself and stopped sharing her food with her classmates. She ate it by herself with a delicious slurp, saying that this was Master Du's permission, and that she could eat it alone in class...

Mr. Du, Old Du, admits defeat.

The children of the Xu family are more difficult to teach than the previous generation.

The key point is that no one in the Xu family dares to teach these two children except their biological parents.

In this way, the two little guys who had barely learned 300,000 words were returned by the clan school the day after Xu Siyu returned home.

Master Du even told Xu Siyu, "If you can't sit still for an hour, don't send me to the clan school anymore! Siyu feels sorry for the old master. He is weak and has no skills, so he can't teach anymore."

Xu Siyu's face was not slapped by anyone, but she felt the pain.

All the reputation she had earned in front of her fellow villagers over the years was suddenly lost by her son and daughter.

Lin Yiqing couldn't understand it. "I had memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by the age of six. Whether I was studying at home or later at Chongzheng Academy, I always respected my teachers and observed etiquette. Cuiwei is still young and can't sit still, so it's okay. But why is Xuan'er acting so recklessly? How could my son be like this?"

In fact, before going to school, Lin Yiqing thought that his child was fine and there was nothing wrong with him.

"What do you mean? Do you doubt me?"

"No, no, no. My son looks exactly like me when I was a child..."

Even though Xu Siyu could still yell at Lin Yiqing, she felt a little guilty about her child's personality. If she really inherited Xu Siyu's childhood personality, then it would really be...

"Maybe our rebellious personalities were passed on to them. We didn't control them on a normal day, so their rebellion came earlier..." There are two children, and their personalities must be compensated by the problems of both of them.

It takes time to develop your temper.

Even if you stay at home, you still need to study.

Lin Yiqing suggested sending Lin Xuan to the Lin family's private school, but Xu Siyu disagreed.

There was no way. The shadow cast by Lin's mother was too great. Although the three Lin Yiqing brothers were well raised, Xu Siyu did not dare to take the risk.

Finally, they thought of borrowing Mrs. Wang's connections and hired two teachers to give the two children one-on-one teaching at home. When they had nothing to do, they would stay there to look after them, and send them to the academy when the children were a little more mature.

……

In autumn, it’s time to harvest the crops.

Marquis Guang'an came to Xu Siyu's house again to "cause trouble".

Xu Zhuang's grain production has always been the best in the southwest. Marquis Guang'an knew that it was because the Xu family used her own grain seeds.

But in addition to this, the farm managed by the Xu family on behalf of the Ming Palace used the seeds uniformly supplied by the Sinong Temple, and the yield each season was more than 10% higher than the average of other places.

One percent, converted to 270,000 hectares of land, means nearly 100,000 dan of additional grain.

That's nearly 200,000 shi a year, which is almost enough food for one and a half months for the 130,000 active Ming troops.

Marquis Guang'an sent a large number of people to Xu Zhuang to learn, but the planting results were always not as good as those of the people in Xu Zhuang.

Now, he took the other 500,000 hectares of land under the name of the palace and asked Xu Siyu to be responsible for it.

Xu Siyu really wanted to kill the man with a knife to avoid so much trouble.

Unfortunately, she could kill Ping Chi alone, but she could not kill the millions of people behind him.

"Ms. Lin, those who are capable should work harder." Ping Chi gave her two more boxes of jewelry.

Xu Siyu knew that she could not escape the fate of being the strongest worker, so she made it clear in advance that she could not guarantee an increase in grain production.

"If the palace wants to buy high-quality grain, I can only provide 100,000 dan per year. This should increase the annual income by 200,000 dan compared to ordinary grain. But if you want more, you can't give me more even if you kill me."

There was a threat of throwing the jar into the air in Xu Siyu's words.

Pingchi was also reasonable. He immediately expressed his understanding and decided not to force the other party on the grain varieties. As long as the quality of each crop improved a little, he would be very satisfied.

He was the one who arranged the staffing on the farm.

He also arranged the office of the Sinong Temple opposite Cuihua Garden. Not only did he need to learn from his own farm, but the increased production of other Ming Dynasty lands also had to be brought in by officials.

Xu Chengzi appeared beside Xu Siyu on behalf of Sinong Temple.

"why you?"

"Aunt." Xu Chengzi politely bowed to Xu Siyu, "My nephew is currently serving as the chief clerk in the Sinong Temple."

"Oh..." Xu Siyu paused for a moment and asked him, "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Xu Chengzi handed over all the management experience of Xu Zhuang that he had compiled to Xu Siyu in a proper manner.

"Why are you showing me this? Which of these wasn't taught to your father by me?"

Xu Chengzi was afraid that her aunt would mention his father. Once mentioned, the wrong things he did and the severed relationship would come between them, and he might not be treated well by Xu Siyu.

Xu Siyu doesn't have much patience, but she doesn't have a very good memory either.

Managing the farmland of Prince Ming's Palace is a public matter. How can there be so many emotional entanglements put before the business?

"How are your uncles?"

"Well... well... they're all doing odd jobs in Big Brother's flower garden... After they first arrived in Xu Village, they sold all the land and houses of the He family. Then, they cheated you, so the He Village wouldn't let them go back. They had nowhere else to go, so..."
