Head Fang laughed when he heard that. “A waterwheel? That’s great! With a waterwheel, we can save a lot of energy.”
“Yes, remember to plan the canal well. Otherwise, it will be difficult to water our crops.”
“Don’t worry, Madam. I’m good at this.”
“Good. Ten days later, I’ll get people to transport the livestock and seedlings here. Remember to find some experienced people to take care of them.
“Otherwise, once a disease infects the livestock, they would all be destroyed.”
“Madam, I really don’t have anyone I can trust when it comes to raising livestock.”
“Don’t worry about this. We’ll look for someone capable. You just have to plan the manor well and as soon as possible.” Zhou Ying gave him a thousand silver notes and added, “Buy a few cattle and farming tools. We must get the manor up and running before the autumn harvest.”
“I will remember it.”
“Okay, we’ll head inside for now. If there’s anything, remember to send a message.” Zhou Ying brought Shizhu back to the manor.
After lunch, she went to the fields with the others to plant some seedlings.
After returning home at night, Zhou Ying climbed onto her soft couch and was too tired even to move her hands.
Gu Chengrui saw this, washed his hands, and massaged her, saying, “Farming crops with sweat dripping into the soil isn’t just a saying.
“This is a real farm, different from farming in your interspace. So, please don’t head out to the farms in the future. It makes my heart ache.”
“The main problem is that this work is too tiring for my waist.”
“Oh, you’ll know when you wake up tomorrow. Hunching over is bad for your body, too.” Gu Chengrui then said, “Oh right, the sweet potatoes can be eaten soon. How many of them should we save up?”
“Didn’t King Rui request some sweet potato seedlings? Let’s harvest them all, let everyone taste them, and plant whatever we have left in our manor.”
“That’s fine, too. Otherwise, more than half of the manor’s fields would be empty.”
“Why don’t we plant all the watermelons on the empty land?
“Especially giant pumpkins that could feed cattle, sheep, and pigs. It could save us a lot of feed.”
“Sure. Take out the seeds at night.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.
After finishing her work at night, Zhou Ying prepared half a sack of seeds and handed it to Gu Chengrui.
Just as she was about to bring him out of the space.
Gu Chengrui grabbed her and said, “I’ve prepared a medicinal bath for you. Go over and take a good bath. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.”
“Let’s go together.” Zhou Ying agreed.
“Alright.” Gu Chengrui walked into the bathroom with her.
Despite having soaked in a medicinal bath, Zhou Ying awoke the next day feeling sore and unpleasant, particularly the tendons from the back of her legs to the soles of her feet.
She did some yoga on the bed and stretched her muscles before getting up.
After breakfast, she called a guard and went to the horse market to buy a relatively luxurious carriage.
Just as they were about to leave the market, someone suddenly shouted, “Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu, wait for me!”
Zhou Ying turned her head to look. She paused momentarily before remembering that he was the middleman who had helped her purchase her shop.
She asked the guards to park the carriage, got off the carriage, and waited at the side.
When he approached them, she smiled and asked, “Manager Xiao, are you also here to buy horses?”
“A carriage. My previous carriage broke down, so I’m considering buying a new one. I wonder if your residence is still lacking helpers?” Manager Xiao asked.
“Where did you get the new people from?”
“Same old, same old, from the same friend last time.”
“What’s their background?”
“Some of them are disaster refugees, and some of them are slaves sold from the South.”
“From the South? Did they commit a crime?”
