Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1736: Anze State’s Intermediate Peace Chapter 1736: Anze State’s Intermediate Peace Editor: Henyee Translations Old Lady Fan reveled in the Mei Family’s setback.

She had long asserted her desire to teach the inexperienced Prefect Lord a lesson, making him understand who held true authority in Anze Prefecture.

Now, it seemed like retribution had arrived.

Did they recall the satisfaction they felt watching the Fan family’s missteps in the past?

Now that the tables were turned, did they still relish in that feeling?

Anticipating that the Mei Family would approach them to discuss countermeasures, Old Lady Fan had prepared to mock them.

However, to her surprise, the Mei Family acquiesced.

Soon after, the Mei Family dutifully paid the official fees and obtained the required document to commence their mountain work.

Observing this, Old Lady Fan, who had been expecting a show, felt greatly disappointed… Witnessing the Mei Family’s compliance, the Huo Family abandoned their initial resistance and diligently went about their work.

Upon hearing about Madam Shao’s cultivation of medicinal herbs in the fields, the two madams of the Huo Family paid a visit.

Their expressions suggested a keen interest in the matter.

Qiao Xuan didn’t reject their curiosity but engaged with them with a subtle smile.

If the Huo Family presented a favorable offer, selling the herbs to them wouldn’t be out of the question.

With the three major families exhibiting discipline, the other large and small family clans dared not act out.

Anze Province, as a whole, experienced an unusual tranquility, fostering a flourishing environment.

Jia Heming and others were invigorated and exuded confidence.

Yet, during private discussions between Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, both were skeptical that the three families would simply let the matter rest.

Their restrained actions were a result of not fully understanding their own background, and it wasn’t the opportune moment to act recklessly.

They refrained from hasty moves, aware that, given the chance, they would unleash their full strength and attack without hesitation.

Shao Yunduan remained vigilant, recognizing that peace was precarious.

This period offered an opportunity for recuperation and personal growth.

Sun Bai and the others could dedicate more time to training the bailiffs in the 500 meters.

Qiao Xuan’s land had undergone exploration.

Two thousand mu of potatoes were planted on four thousand mu of flat terrain, while the remaining one thousand mu, along with hundreds of mu at the mountain’s base, were dedicated to King Solomon’s-seal, Angelica, crow-dipper, and honeysuckle cultivation.

Exploring the entire 50,000 mu of mountains was a slow process, with only 6,000 mu opened up so far, the rest temporarily halted.

Summer’s arrival, bringing increased vegetation and the presence of poisonous snakes, insects, and ants in the mountains, made exploration unsuitable.

They planned to resume exploration in late autumn, hiring more personnel at that time.

The six thousand mu already explored were exclusively dedicated to peppercorn cultivation.

Yuezheng Xiao’s connections facilitated the transportation of seedlings from the southwest, arriving at an opportune moment.

Qiao Xuan opted to plant all the peppercorns for easier management, reserving star anise and pepper planting for the following year.

Despite the unsuitable exploration conditions during this time of the year, they focused on constructing roads, houses, and warehouses.

Qiao Xuan tasked Songshi and others to spend an additional month or so to complete these tasks.

Previous employees could continue to be employed for these endeavors.

Qiao Xuan instructed Songshi, Liu Fu, and others to discreetly observe.

Subsequently, she selected approximately 20 individuals from these intermediate workers and approached them, inquiring if they were willing to sign long-term employment contracts.

With numerous plots of land requiring daily management, relying solely on Songshi and the others proved insufficient even with their unwavering dedication.

Assigning individuals to patrol the mountain daily became essential, monitoring the growth of the herb seedlings.

It was imperative to address any deficiencies promptly and weed the areas in need.
