earlier than usual, with harvesting commencing shortly after the Mid-autumn festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the 20th day of August, the autumn harvest was in full swing, filling the fields with activity and the jubilation of abundance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they carried loads of golden rice home, families made extra trips compared to previous years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the work was heavy and tiring, their hearts brimmed with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gratitude to Lord Shao abounded in every farming family, with prayers offered to Buddha for his kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a production increase of 30% to nearly 40%, worries about next year’s harvest vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Shao was their benefactor, ensuring they would eat their fill even in lean times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In early September, the Fan family’s rice fields also saw harvesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, government-provided rice, already harvested and sun-dried, filled the granaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year’s farming hiatus arrived unusually early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Qiao Xuan’s approval, Songshi began hiring workers to continue exploration efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the 50,000 mu of mountains, only 5,000 to 6,000 mu had been previously opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, efforts intensified to reclaim the remainder before the new year, aiming to plant everything needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seedlings were already under cultivation for the next year, with additional nursery resources secured for Sichuan pepper, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam’s plans expanded beyond the existing 50,000 mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intent on acquiring another 100,000 to 200,000 mu, she envisioned a diverse landscape of tea plantations, medicinal herbs, bamboo forests, orchards, and poultry farms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development plans included swamps, ponds for fish farming, and reclamation of fertile land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Songshi was privy to these plans, and his excitement was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It presented a golden opportunity for him to showcase his skills, further solidifying his worthiness as the chief steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan believed this location’s proximity to Yuzhang meant its resources were more abundant, making it an ideal site for development and mitigating negative karma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the road between Yuzhang and Yuzhang slated for repair within two years, transportation would vastly improve, reducing travel time from two and a half days to a mere two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such progress was commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they eventually returned to their hometown, managing businesses here would be effortlessly manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come the end of September, Shao Yunduan issued a notice for tax collection, each contributor urged to exercise fiscal prudence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commoners responded with enthusiasm, swiftly submitting their dues as the document made its rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan divided Zheng Sangge, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and Ah-Ye into two teams, each tasked with transporting the grains collected from towns to Anze Province and depositing them into the intermediate granaries in the city, accompanied by additional manpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this year’s harvest surpassing expectations, the existing granary proved insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan dispatched two additional scribes to oversee the construction of a new granary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All granaries were situated in the east of the city, prompting Shao Yunduan to reapprove a piece of land in the west for separate storage, deemed safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As construction commenced on the new granary, Old Lady Fan and her daughter took to mocking the endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During autumn harvest, mountain bandits from the Min Family Tribe, Tiger Head Tribe, and Liuhe Fort traditionally descended to request food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Historically, the three prominent families led in supplying provisions, each contributing a set amount for the bandits’ transport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unspoken understanding prevailed among the families, ensuring smooth cooperation without explicit agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>",572,"2026-06-03T12:01:13.656Z","2026-06-03T12:01:16.301Z",1,"novelbin.me","93a5035880e3587c5a4329551de8eac242873f2b291bf314914ffbf2c1047f90","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1823","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1821",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
