Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran saw that they were not just bragging. Only then did the two feel relieved.
Even so, they were sincerely grateful.
Seeds so precious and unavailable in Dashun were given to them without profit. This was an enormous favor.
"Alright, alright. I'll take my family to get the seeds in a bit. We'll remember this favor, uncle."
Fang Chuanzhou also said, "Yes, I also represent the Fang family to thank you."
Mo Jiuye did not care whether they expressed gratitude or not. Good seeds from his wife's space could bring the commoners a life of food and clothing. It was also accumulating blessings for their unborn children.
Moreover, he and He Zhiran were not lacking in money. Even if they did nothing in the northwest, they had enough money to last several lifetimes.
After some polite conversation, Mo Jiuye sent the two men away and went with the hired laborers to demarcate the planting areas.
Although their farmland was substantial, they grew many types of crops.
Xi Ling Village had no paddy fields. Other than rice, any economically valuable, delicious grain or vegetable was planted.
Especially chili peppers - unavailable in this period. Chili peppers could be used to cook many delicacies, so they had to plant a lot.
Thus, the Mo family planted 20 mu of just chili peppers this year.
For other crops, the focus was still grain. Of course, they grew a complete variety.
At this time, Mo Hanyue was not idle either. During breaks from raising pet rabbits, she read the pharmaceutical books He Zhiran gave her many times.
Recently, He Zhiran helped exchange one-year medicinal plant seeds for her on the interface.
The little girl got up before dawn every day. She asked for 3 mu of family land to reclaim her own medicine field.
She did not need family help. She would cultivate this medicine field completely by herself.
Because sister-in-law said that to grow medicinal materials well required getting one’s hands dirty. Only this way could she quickly understand the growth habits of these herbs.
In fact, these medicinal seeds all came from the space. They did not need much care at all. He Zhiran deliberately made Mo Hanyue work hard to temper her endurance but did not say so outright.
The young miss was good in every way, just a little pampered.
He Zhiran hoped Mo Hanyue would become tougher through the hard work of cultivating the medicine field.
Her good intentions did not escape old Lady Mo. In Beijing, the family had only one daughter who had been spoiled beyond recognition.
But now things were different. The entire family had been exiled and gone through so many hardships and dangers on the way that survival was a blessing in itself, let alone living the pampered life of a young miss!
Thus, old Lady Mo highly approved of He Zhiran’s approach. Even though she felt bad that her daughter worked hard every day, she showed no intention of helping.
Initially, Mo Hanyue cried from exhaustion, but she persisted.
By the time the family farmland was finished planting, her medicine field was also fully cultivated.
Through this effort, she also tasted the sweetness of success.
The Mo family's land was vast and they hired many laborers, so their planting progress was even faster than other families in the village.
After the busy spring planting, there were only crops to maintain, which was not urgent. They could ask fellow villagers for help later and just pay them some fees. The family themselves only needed to provide little support.
In the mountain cave, the former subordinates were still cared for every day by Fifth Elder Brother and Sixth elder brother. After a period of recuperation, although their health had not recovered to initial levels, they could move freely again.
They wanted to stay here and live with the Mo family, but also missed families back home.
Today, they asked to return home for a visit. If possible, they would bring their families here to live together.
Of course, like the Mo family's other sons, they did not want the court to know they were alive.
With such an incompetent emperor, they never wanted to protect him again in this life.
If not for Mo Jiuye rescuing them from southern borderlands, they would have lived like walking corpses for the rest of their lives, or even perished under enemy abuse until their bodies were mangled mess.
They hated Mr. Si Meng for turning them into medicine men, and hated Emperor Shunwu more.
Because Mo Jiuye told them that after news of their deaths in battle reached Beijing, Emperor Shunwu not only failed to provide for their families, but even accused the incompetent in court.
If Duke Mo's Family had not secretly sent money to support them, they dared not imagine how difficult life would have been.
Thinking of this, the men would be filled with righteous indignation and miss families more strongly.
Mo Chongyuan could understand the feelings of these officers and men. At first, when he recovered his memories and connected these events, he also felt equally outraged and aggrieved.
With so many people returning home, road expenses would inevitably be high. Moreover, they had been away from home for years and were returning from the dead. They couldn’t just show up empty-handed.
His younger brother gave family money every month.
Although he and his wife had saved up some private money, funding these people's travel expenses was a drop in the bucket.
Helpless, Mo Chongyuan could only discuss with Mo Jiuye. He had no choice since he, the elder brother, was useless and could not earn enough money.
When he found Mo Jiuye, he was arranging to build a large rabbit shed with people.
Additionally, He Zhiran had bred large quantities of poultry and livestock in her space. They required housing too.
The family had plenty of wasteland, not all of which was reclaimed yet. He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye had discussed reserving these lands for building rabbit sheds and other uses.
Of course, rabbit raising was presently the most mature family business, so building rabbit sheds was given top priority.
The location chosen for the rabbit shed was at the mountain base. That area of land was used to build farms.
This was a properly designed rabbit shed by He Zhiran.
The brick and tile rabbit shed was divided into large compartments. The cages were neatly arranged around four sides.
Future rabbits in the shed would be classified by size, variety, etc.
The rabbit shed occupied a large area. It looked like no small project. The advantage lay in ease of construction. Anyone basically familiar with housing procedures could complete it.
When the Mo family got busy, it was a month, and now late April. The weather was getting warmer.
Fruit trees on the mountain had completely taken root. Because they were space products, they thrived regardless of soil or climate. All fruit trees displayed vigorous vitality.
Their growth was as good as mature fruit trees in the space. Come autumn, there would be a steady crop of various fruits.
Field crops were similar. After the busy spring planting, Xi Ling villagers no longer as busy as before and looked to work for the Mo family to earn some money.
