Chapter 2134: Family Reunion
Qiao Xuan’s heart warmed, and she expressed with a smile, “My husband and I are truly reassured by your words, as are my siblings and Sister-in-law. Just stay here. With my husband’s considerate nature, there’s no need to fret over the future or the present.”
“Absolutely, I have utmost faith in you!” Ms. Fang nodded, returning the smile.
Qiao Xuan turned to Shao Dalang and Ms. Xu, her smile unwavering. “I’ll ensure Junyan attends school once he’s settled here, so he can focus on his studies without delay.”
Ms. Xu sighed with relief, nodding eagerly. “That’s wonderful. I hope you can guide him well!”
Qiao Xuan beamed. “Rest assured, sister-in-law! My husband adores our nephews and nieces!”
With Ms. Fang’s endorsement, the entire family found solace and settled in Anze Province.
Their presence was invaluable. Taotao had assisted them back home, and now, with her here, they could continue working together.
Times had changed. Anze Province boasted ample land with fewer inhabitants. Countless untapped wastelands and swamps awaited development. With Zhao Shu and the resources of the Shao Family, they could truly showcase their capabilities.
Shao Dalang, Shao Sanlang, Ms. Xu, and Yang Xiaoni found themselves with no shortage of tasks, keeping them occupied throughout the day.
Observing their diligence, Qiao Xuan felt reassured and entrusted the farming affairs of Anze Province to them.
It was imperative to cultivate the wastelands. Who could guarantee a steady supply of food, medicinal herbs, and cloth from external sources in the future?
Self-sufficiency was the key here.
Following her advice, Shao Yunduan had issued a decree: as long as the civilians reclaimed the land in Huaixi Province within the next two years, they wouldn’t have to pay a single ounce of tax for the following five years.
This announcement ignited everyone’s fervor. Not only Anze Province but neighboring counties as well, were swept up in a frenzy of activity.
As long as there was willing labor at hand, as long as they weren’t idle or lazy, the people set out to explore the wastelands one after another.
Even if it meant scattering a handful of beans or planting peanuts, they made the most of every opportunity.
Moreover, they discovered valuable resources like potatoes.
Qiao Xuan tasked the men with constructing roads and managing the warehouses and supplies.
In the absence of Shao Yunduan and Jia Heming, Qiao Xuan found herself with ample autonomy. She took advantage of this by stocking the warehouse with grains and herbs from her space.
Her focus shifted to cultivating medicinal herbs and cotton on her land. Additionally, she expanded the ranch and set her sights on taming wild horses, recognizing their potential as valuable assets.
Under the leadership of the Shao family’s impressive reclamation efforts, Anze Province thrived with vitality. Both commoners and prominent families alike joined in the endeavor.
It was common knowledge that accumulating more resources during this period only yielded benefits without drawbacks!
Simultaneously, an increasing number of visitors frequented the state office, whether for greetings, visits to Qiao Xuan, or to see Ms. Fang.
However, Ms. Fang preferred caring for her grandchildren and engaging in occasional spats with the old man, so she grew weary of these visitors.
Qiao Xuan shared her sentiment. Upon hearing Ms. Fang’s complaints, she decided to delegate the task to Lixia. In the future, Lixia could handle any non-urgent matters regarding visitors.
Like Ms. Fang, Qiao Xuan couldn’t afford to squander her time on such matters.
