Chapter 234 Inspection of the Brewery
"Mom, I will take the provincial examination this fall, and I don't want to be distracted by other things." Wei Yichen said quickly.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about your affairs for the time being." Yun promised, "But don't worry about your sister's affairs. Although I have some minor conflicts with my eldest sister, she is always my biological flesh and blood. , I will definitely try my best to choose a good son-in-law for her when it comes to her marriage."
Then Yun said: "Before, I thought that with Ruo'er's temperament, he might not be able to get into the big family, so I had to find a rule. A well-behaved scholar or from a family of farming and studying, now it seems that she has her destiny. This makes my mother happy."
Wei Yichen didn't feel like saying anything more, so he stopped the topic here.
Mother and son chatted for a while, and seeing Wei Yichen showing signs of fatigue, Yun asked Wei Yichen to go back and rest.

Wei Ruo, who returned to Tingsongyuan, immediately went into the study to write a letter.
First, she wants to instruct the people in Zhuangzi to be wary of bakanae disease and to notify her immediately if there is any problem with the seedlings.
Second, write a letter to the wet nurse to urge her on the matter of helping her find a husband.
Mrs. Tongzhi's attitude today reminded her that she had to speed up her pace.
If she is really as popular as the Yun family thinks, that's all. It can be delayed for another two years, but if people like the Xu family fall in love with her, I'm afraid that the Yun family will do something about it. Think about it, and decide the marriage for her when the time comes, which will put her in a more passive situation.
"Miss, are the bakanae diseases you saw today the same ones we saw in Huzhou Prefecture two years ago?" Xiumei asked.
Wei Ruo nodded: "The symptoms are the same."
"That's terrible. The weather has been bad in the past two years, with erratic wind and rain. It has been difficult to grow crops with high yields. If we continue to do this, the food output will be reduced." There is no where to go." Xiumei said worriedly.
"In the past few days, I've taken the time to go around more. I'll try to persuade those I can, but I can't do anything if I can't. I'll do my best," Wei Ruodao said.
Although he hit a wall with those farmers today, Wei Ruo still wanted to try his best.
After all, this is a matter of saving lives. If food production fails, many people will die.
Xiumei nodded. When she was persuading people in Huzhou Mansion, she was scolded by many people at first. At that time, she was only ten years old. No one believed her words and the scoldings she said were very unpleasant.
But fortunately, in the end, he listened to their lady's words rationally and carefully inspected the seedlings. It was confirmed that there was something wrong, and he chose to believe their lady's words.
Among them was the village chief of Mojiazha. Under the strong suggestion of the village chief, Mojiazha re-cultivated rice seedlings and planted Miss’s late rice seeds that year. As a result, Mojiazha had a bumper harvest that year, while some surrounding villages experienced grain-free rice. The harvest was miserable.

In the next few days, when Wei Ruo had free time, he went to the countryside near Fucheng as Xu Heyou. When he found something was wrong, he communicated with the local farmers.
The situation was similar to what Wei Ruo encountered in Huzhou Prefecture, or even worse. Being scolded was inevitable, and being kicked out of the village with a pole was a minor offense.
Wei Ruo didn't pay attention, he said what he should say, he did what he should do, and he followed fate's will.
Today Wei Ruo came to Stone Village, where Wei Ruo opened the brewery. The brewery is still under construction, and Wei Ruo's trip was just enough to go and see the progress.
When we arrived at the predetermined place, we had mountains at our back and a stream flowing in front of us.
The environment is very pleasant, and there are now several more rooms on the originally empty flat land.
Because it is used for wine making, the house is quite different from an ordinary house.
The biggest difference from ordinary houses is the boiler room, which is used for distilling liquor. Ordinary breweries do not need to build this. The person responsible for the construction does not know what it is used for.
"Hello, boss!"
"Hello, boss!"
"Master! You're here!" "..."
After seeing Wei Ruo, everyone took the initiative to greet Wei Ruo and showed great enthusiasm.
The people currently working here are all long-term workers at Wei Ruo Zhuangzi, and they are all very motivated now, because Wei Ruo gives them excellent treatment. Not only does it pay more than other companies, but it also adopts a reward system for good work. , there are additional rewards.
Those who are assigned to farm, the higher the yield of the rice fields they manage that year, the greater their rewards will be. This treatment is not only that of long-term workers, it is almost catching up with that of tenant farmers.
And they are more secure than tenants. If tenants don't produce anything from their fields, they will have nothing, but at least they have wages from their employers.
The same goes for those who are sent to work in the workshop. If the workshop does well, they will also be rewarded.
Such good treatment was nowhere to be found in previous years, let alone in such a bad year.
Wei Ruo smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
"No hard work, no hard work. Boss, please be careful. There are a lot of debris here, and there are rafters on the ground. Be careful not to trip." The Chang Gong reminded Wei Ruo carefully.
"Okay." Wei Ruo nodded.
After walking around, Wei Ruo was very satisfied with the construction of the workshop. It was consistent with her vision, and the construction progress and construction quality were also in line with her expectations.
According to this situation, the brewery can officially start work next month.
It seems that she will start to select workers for training, and at the same time prepare the crops for wine making.
After the inspection, Wei Ruo came to the village chief's house in Shitou Village. Standing outside the fence of the village chief's house, Wei Ruo was wondering whether the village chief was at home.
"Mr. Xu!"
Village Chief Shi Dayou came out of the house to see Wei Ruo and came out to greet him enthusiastically.
Shi Dayou is in his thirties, has a slight limp in one foot and walks with a limp.
He doesn't look like a very authoritative person, and he's not too old. He doesn't look like the head of a village.
Shi Dayou opened the fence door and invited Wei Ruo into his home: "Master Xu, come in quickly."
Wei Ruo entered the door and followed Shi Dayou into the house.
The house is simple but clean.
"Master Xu is here today to inspect the construction progress of the brewery?" Shi Dayou asked.
"Yes." Wei Ruo nodded, and then said to Shi Dayou, "Besides that, there is one more thing I want to talk to the village chief about." "Mr. Xu, if
you need any help from our villagers, just ask. We will definitely help if we can!" Shi Dayou said hurriedly.
"It's not that I need your help, but when I entered the village, I saw the rice seedlings in the rice fields around the village and felt that the growth was a little strange. According to my experience, there may be some problems with these seedlings." Wei Ruodao.
After listening to Wei Ruo's words, Shi Dayou was silent for a while.
"Village chief?" Wei Ruo called Shi Dayou.
