Xu Shiqiu's reaction was somewhat interesting in the eyes of Xu Jun and Xu Jie.

They never thought that a young master from a rich family like Xu Shiqiu would actually pay attention to such things.

So when Xu Shiqiu's words fell, the two brothers looked at each other, and took the initiative to speak.

Saying that, Xu Jun looked at Xu Shiqiu and explained in detail: ”The harvest from the farm is indeed not only for farming.

Mountain can also grow grain, if you feel that the harvest is not good, fruit can be sold, flowers can also be sold to rouge shop.

As for the lake, they could raise fish and ducks, but they also had their own income.

The actual situation of the manor depended on what was going on. However, for two farms like these, the only thing they had been able to earn over the years was money to grow and sell food. Something was indeed amiss.

After all, in terms of farmland, other than growing grain for a season, there are also other harvests. It is not only the harvest for grain for that season. ”

When Xu Jun just finished speaking, Xu Jie immediately answered: ”Shiqiu, Third Brother is the person who is good at farming in our family, you handing the matter over to him, is for sure.”

Just as Xu Jie finished boasting, Xu Jun, who was sitting beside him, immediately glared at him and looked at Xu Shiqiu, ”When I was young, I went to the Academy to read for a few days. Although I did not know much, I still liked to research about farming.

However, although what the book said about farming was useful, it still had to be done according to the local soil and environment. Sometimes, it would also require a lot of old agricultural experience.

Not just what you read in books. ”

Xu Jun was not actually being modest about this, but he had indeed only been in the academy for less than half a year, and knew a few words.

Later, when he left the academy, because the teacher at that time liked him, he gave him a tattered agricultural book.

In order to read, he had spent two years studying agricultural books. Thus, he had now become the person in his family that was best at farming.

Xu Shiqiu did not expect Xu Jun to actually still be able to read. After hearing what Xu Jun had to say, he felt that Xu Jun was a pretty good candidate.

Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and said: ”Since that's the case, Third brother will first learn a few words, accounting and management experience. ”Wait until Third Sister-in-Law arrives with her nieces and nephew before asking Third Sister-in-Law if she would like to follow you back to the capital.”

Xu Shiqiu did not use an commanding tone to directly arrange for Xu Jun to stay. Because of his attitude, Xu Jun had happily accepted his suggestion.

Since it was possible that Xu Jun would return to the capital, then the person who would stay behind with Xu Shiqiu could only be him for the time being.

Coincidentally, Xu Jie's character was a bit more lively than Xu Jun's, he also really liked the fact that he had to run outside every day.

After settling all of these matters, Xu Shiqiu chatted about some other matters with Xu Jun and his.

The ages of the three were not far apart, and they all liked training, so after chatting and laughing for an hour, Xu Jun finally decided to tell Xu Shiqiu about what he had just thought.

”Shiqiu, there's something I wanted to tell you just now. I was just a little hesitant.” When Xu Jun just finished speaking, he did not wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak before continuing, ”I want to go back and welcome second brother, and my wife and children. Second brother, a grown man is bringing all of them and their children along on the journey. I am really worried. ”

Xu Jun looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking, and nodded seriously.

Xu Shiqiu naturally could not refuse this request. Not only did he agree to Xu Jun's request, he even took the initiative to speak: ”In a while, I will go to the front courtyard to choose a few servants and have them drive the Mule Cart and Third Brother to fetch Second Brother, Sister-in-Law and a few other nephews and nieces.”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while, then looked at Xu Jie: ”Fourth Brother, follow me to the county store tomorrow, it just so happens that I can invite a suitable Elementary Scholar to come back.”

Speaking of the old Elementary Scholar, Xu Shiqiu immediately thought of the day before, when he had come back to find two Elementary Scholars, he had to look for Cui Hua in the town.

It was unknown if Cui Hua was doing well or if she had found a suitable Elementary Scholar.

Originally, the reason why Xu Shiqiu handed this matter to Cui Hua was also because he knew that Cui Hua was pretty capable, and could understand her own meaning.

But Xu Shiqiu did not expect that Cui Hua would nearly not be able to come back this time when she was out on some errands.

As mentioned before, because Cui Hua had a large appetite since childhood, she was disliked by his family. At a very young age, Cui Hua had been a servant at the Xu Family.

Originally, because of Cui Hua's unrefined appearance, she could only do the rough work that was tired and dirty. Every day, she could only eat her fill.

But ever since she was selected by Xu Shiqiu to serve Dong Shu, not only were she no longer as tired as before, she ate much better.
