Chapter 24 Father's Trust
"It's true. I don't dare to lie about this. If my father doesn't believe it, I can experiment with a small piece of land first. If it works, I can then carry out large-scale planting." After answering,
Wei If she looked at Wei Mingting, she wasn't sure what Wei Mingting's attitude would be.
Wei Mingting's expression was serious and his tone was stern: "Ruo'er, do you know how big a deal it would be to grow crops on saline-alkali land?" "I know. Father, I went to the north of the city a few days ago, and I saw on the
way Many farmers and fishermen have turned into beggars. They are haggard and have no food to eat. This is all due to the poor harvest in Xingshan County in recent years and the limited land." "Father, I know this is a serious matter, but if it happens
, It is a good thing that benefits the family and the people. It can not only bring income to our own family, but also increase the cultivated land in Xingshan County and increase food production. By then, we can feed many more people. I hope my father will give me a chance. If it fails, , I am willing to accept the punishment."
Wei Ruo's words made Wei Mingting look surprised, and he looked at Wei Ruolai again.
Wei Ruo stood there, not dodging or hiding. She had already expected that such a situation would happen when she decided to discuss the matter with the Yun family in the wasteland south of the city.
"Okay, very good." Wei Mingting, who had always been serious about words, suddenly said "ok" twice in a row.
He was a strict father who rarely gave praise to his children. Even Wei Yichen, who excelled in academics, rarely gave such clear praise.
This made the Yun family on the side couldn't help but be surprised.
Wei Mingting said to Wei Ruo: "It's very valuable that you have such an idea. My father will talk to the county magistrate about this matter. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, it is always good for you to have this intention." Wei Ruo raised his head and said
, He looked surprised.
She had never expected that Wei Mingting would agree so readily, and she had already made plans to communicate with Wei Mingting again.
"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence?" Wei Mingting asked.
"No, I'm confident."
"Then go ahead and do it. I heard from your mother that you still miss the farming life in the countryside these days when you are back home. You also planted a lot of vegetables in the yard." "Yes." "Although farming is not
elegant
, But it is not a shame, our court has always attached great importance to farming, and it is a good thing to be able to cultivate good land and serve the country and the people."
Unexpectedly, Wei Mingting gave high recognition to Wei Ruo's behavior.
"My daughter knows."
"Well, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first. I will send someone to inform you when the matter becomes clearer."
Wei Mingting looked very tired, so Wei Ruo didn't stay to say more, and the conversation was over. Let Wei Ruo go back if he wants to talk about it.
On the way back, Wei Ruo thought about Wei Mingting's words.
Wei Mingting didn't appear much in the original work. Firstly, he was busy with official duties, secondly, he had such a personality, and thirdly, he died early.
Therefore, Wei Ruo didn't know much about him at first.
But the conversation just now gave her a different understanding of Wei Mingting.
After Wei Ruo left, Yun helped Wei Mingting change his clothes and re-bandaged his arm.
"Husband, Ruo'er is a girl after all. If she goes to the fields all day long, I'm afraid it will be bad for her in the future..." Mrs. Yun told Wei Mingting her worries.
"Ruo'er, a child who grew up in the country, would be too embarrassed if you wanted her to be like Wanwan." "I don't expect her to be as well-educated and sensible as Wanwan, but if she acts like a peasant woman all day long, that's not the case. Yes." Yun said worriedly.
"Madam, in the past few years in Xingshan County, you should have seen the suffering of the people. How miserable are the people at the bottom? Why talk about immorality? Only when people have enough food can they be in the mood to consider issues of immorality. If If you don't even have your life, how can you talk about good or bad?"
Wei Mingting and Yun had different views. In the past few years in Xingshan County, he had seen a lot of life and death, as well as a lot of poverty. He felt that in the face of these, the tricks played by the dignitaries in the capital had no practical significance.
"What your husband said is true. For the people, having enough food and clothing is the most important thing."
Yun didn't expect that Wei Ruo's thoughts coincided with her husband's thoughts, and she and her husband I have been married for many years, and I don’t quite understand what my husband thinks about many things.
"Husband, it's better not to think about these things. It's rare to go home and have a good rest. You don't want to tell me that you are injured." Mrs. Yun didn't want
Wei Mingting to worry about such trivial matters anymore.
I knew that my husband must not have had a good rest in the military camp, so he was so tired and injured. Although the wound was not deep, if it was not treated properly, it would leave the root of the disease.
Wei Mingting really needs to rest and will go back to the military camp early tomorrow morning.
However, he was still concerned about Wei Ruoti's matter.
Before going to the military camp the next day, he went to the magistrate's office and talked with the magistrate about the wasteland in the south of the city.
The county magistrate learned that the Wei family wanted to try farming the wasteland and agreed immediately.
It's not that he disagrees with other people doing this, but he is worried about letting other people enter and exit the South City Gate, for fear that a few collaborators and traitors will appear and bring out the defense map of Xingshan County.
But the Wei family didn't need to worry, so they agreed readily.
After getting the result, Wei Mingting sent someone to send a letter home.
Seeing that her husband was so concerned about this matter, Mrs. Yun had nothing to say.
Yun called Wei Ruo to her and told her the good news: "Ruo'er, your father has already sent a letter about the matter in the south of the city. You can start planting in a small area there. If it is effective, it will be a great achievement." Piece."
Having said that, Yunshi had no hope that Wei Ruo could succeed.
"Okay." Wei Ruo was also very happy. He didn't expect Wei Mingting to be so helpful and get the matter done so quickly.
"Your father also said that you don't need to be too stressed. It doesn't matter if you don't achieve results. There won't be much loss."
"Yeah." Wei Mingting's attitude made Wei Ruo feel a little moved.
Yunshi then said: "But Ruo'er, you are not young anymore. You should be studying at this time. I originally planned to let you go to the magistrate's house to study with Wanwan and the others after you have learned the rules from Grandma Li. , the county magistrate's wife also agreed to this matter."
Wei Ruo: "I don't want to go to the magistrate's house to study. I'm not from the same family as them. It would be very difficult to force us to study together. Why don't you let me do something I'm good at.
Yun: "Ruo'er, you need to change some of your old ideas. As the daughter of the Wei family, you should learn to be a well-educated, sensible, beautiful, and wise young lady. Of course, because you have been living in the countryside for the past few years. " I won't be too demanding on you, and I don't expect you to be as knowledgeable as Wanwan."
Wei Ruo: "But I may not be able to keep up with what Mr. Fu, the magistrate, taught me. If you really want me to learn, I don't want to go to school at the county magistrate's office."
Not being able to keep up was an excuse Wei Ruo made for himself. The main purpose was not to be with Wei Qingwan, Qian Zhilan and the others.
