Chapter 324 Did I Say I Want to Leave?
Shen Ruolan, who was wiping the silver needle, paused for a moment after hearing Jiang Qing's words. Then she threw the dirty towel in her hand on his face and said to him coldly, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
After saying this, she quickly packed up her medicine box and strode away.
Jiang Qing took the dirty towel from his face and played with it in his hands with interest. He wanted to ask his subordinates to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he decided to keep the towel.
Seeing this, Du Fang stepped forward and said, "Master, Miss Shen has used this cloth to wipe the needles so many times that it is dirty. You should throw it away immediately."
After Du Fang finished speaking, he saw that his master was still hesitating after looking at the towel, so he continued to persuade him: "Master, we have finally cured the disease, we can't let this dirty towel cause other diseases."
Sure enough, Du Fang's next words made Jiang Qing hesitate. His body had finally recovered to almost normal after more than a year of Shen Ruolan's care. It would be bad if he got sick again because of a piece of cloth.
Jiang Qing, who had figured it out, threw the towel to Du Fang and said, "Put it in a box and put it aside."
Since you can't take it, just put it aside.
"Ah" Du Fang was so shocked by his master's behavior that he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Jiang Qing got up from the bed and kicked his subordinate, looking at him with an unhappy face and scolded: "Is it so difficult for me to ask you to find a box?"
Du Fang came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Not difficult, not difficult."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that if he was a little slow, he would be kicked by his master again.
When Shen Ruolan returned home, Ji Ning found her holding a book and said, "Master, if we add up all the fields this year and calculate based on last year's harvest, we can probably harvest about 1.7 million kilograms of rice this year."
Shen Ruolan took her budget booklet and took a look at it, then asked her, "Except for the North and South Villages, how is the reclamation of other villages going?"
These villages are related to tax collection, so Shen Ruolan is quite concerned about their annual harvest.
You know, this spring, she invested more than 30,000 kilograms of grain seeds in more than 20 villages, large and small.
Ji Ning thought for a moment and told his master truthfully: "Master, I have personally checked those villages. The rice they grow is not as good as the rice in our mountains. I am afraid that the harvest cannot compare with ours."
"Well, this year all I have to do is return my grain seeds." Shen Ruolan was very open-minded about the newly reclaimed wasteland, and there was no need to force everyone so hastily.
After all, only when they are well fed will they have the strength to work, and only when they have the strength to work will they be willing to grow better crops.
Otherwise, if she makes them suffer all day long, who would be willing to live with her in this old forest in Shenshan?
After hearing what her master said, Ji Ning smiled and said, "Master, don't worry about it. They have planted a lot of land each. Even if the management is poor, they can always return our seeds."
"That's even better." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she instructed Ji Ning: "Ji Ning, go ask your brother to come over."
"Yes," Ji Ning said, she bowed to Shen Ruolan, turned and left.
Not long after, Ji Han shouted outside Shen Ruolan's door: "Master, are you looking for a subordinate?"
Shen Ruolan looked up at the door and said, "Come in."
"Yes." Ji Han received the order and pushed the door open from outside.
Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Han who was walking towards her and asked, "Ji Han, the autumn harvest is about to begin. Is there anything unusual in Xia Country?"
Ever since she took over the Beinan Mountain Village, the people of Xia Country had been making things difficult for her, and several times the situation had escalated into physical conflicts.
Fortunately, she treated the people living on the border of the two countries and the reason for charging low fees was cleverly resolved by the villagers of the two countries several times.
When Shen Ruolan thought of this, she couldn't help but curse in her heart, why did this hateful Xia Hongmiao always pick on her?
Ji Han reported to his master truthfully: "My master, I have received news from Xia Country that the flow of soldiers has increased a lot recently than usual."
When Shen Ruolan heard this, she was silent for a moment, and then instructed Ji Han: "Send people to observe the movements outside diligently, and report to me in time if there is anything."
"Yes, master." Ji Han replied.
Shen Ruolan then ordered: "There is also the matter of explosives. Everyone should not rest and do as much as they can."
"Yes," Ji Han said, then turned around and went out to do his work.
Here, in Jiang Qing's room, Du Fang was packing his luggage happily. They had been away for more than a year, and it was great that his master could finally return to Beijing like a normal person.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qing's next words made Du Fang stunned. He only heard his master coldly say: "Why are you packing your luggage in such a hurry? Did I say I was leaving?"
Du Fang was stunned for a moment, and said to his master: "Master, we have been out for more than a year, and there are many things in the capital waiting for you to go back and deal with. Why are you suddenly not leaving now?"
Jiang came out of the house, pointed at the golden fields at the foot of Fuzhai Mountain, and said to Du Fang: "If we want to leave, we have to wait until all these things are stored in the warehouse."
Du Fang looked at the fields below, hesitating for a moment, and asked his master, "Master, what do you mean?"
His master wouldn't do as he thought and want to buy food from Miss Shen, but would she sell it?
After more than a year of getting along, although he couldn't say that he knew Shen Ruolan very well, there was one thing he was sure of, that was that she loved food very much. It could be said that she would be happier if you gave her a thousand kilograms of food than a thousand taels of silver.
Thinking of food, Du Fang secretly calculated in her mind. Not counting the food she grew herself, Shen Ruolan probably had at least one million kilograms of grain.
Because most of the patients who came to see her paid with grain, the average consultation fee plus medicine cost for each patient was about thirty to fifty kilograms.
In the past year, she has had a constant stream of patients coming to her from the mountains, and some of her wealthy patients have directly sent her thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of food.
Jiang Qing rolled his eyes at his subordinate and said to him unhappily, "Do you think she will sell me food if I buy it from her?"
Not to mention that she didn't want to sell it. Even if she did, Shen Ruolan would find some way to get it back from him. But if someone else bought it himself, that would be a waste of time.
When Jiang Qing thought of this, he looked at the fields not far away and gave a mysterious smile.
He wouldn't buy it, but he would help her look after it, and then he would leave when Jiang Dichen's people arrived.
Because, if his calculations were correct, Xia Hongmiao and the others would probably be unable to wait any longer.
Du Fang shook his head truthfully and said, "Based on Miss Shen's current attitude towards us, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Master, when are we going to leave for the capital?"
