?Chapter 232: Chapter 228 Reporting for Duty Chapter 232: Chapter 228 Reporting for Duty Three carriages slowly traveled on the official road.
Ruo Xuan was excitedly discussing her ambitious plans to everyone inside the carriage, about planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, growing cotton and opening a dyeing workshop, growing soybeans and starting a soy sauce factory… and other schemes to become the richest in the area. She wanted to lead everyone to earn silver, to become wealthy and aim for being the richest.
But as soon as she mentioned buying land to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms, her friends looked terrified!
Yan Jiaojiao put her hand over Ruo Xuan’s mouth and said, “Stop! Don’t talk about it, and don’t tell Master Han! Xuanbao, you can plant it yourself; we don’t want to plant at all, we don’t want to be involved.”
Yan Huan said, “The summer harvest is coming soon, and Master Han said he will take us to join the ‘double rush.’ I heard we’ll harvest rice, plant late rice, peanuts, sesame, sweet potatoes, corn, and we’ll also need to plant red beans, soybeans, mung beans, black beans, wheat beans…. After planting so many things, in just over three months we have to prepare for the harvest again, and then plant the third season of rice that the whole city looks forward to—it’s endless! I don’t want to do it at all!”
Zhang Lian nodded in agreement: “I used to think studying and practicing martial arts was tough, and I didn’t want to study or practice martial arts at all, but since we started farming, I’ve found that farming is the hardest, so bitter and tiring, and the silver we earn from the crops isn’t much! Studying is the most relaxing! We are not as amazing as you, Xuanbao, capable of growing a thousand catties per mu of rice.”
Zhang Jie said, “There are so many things lined up waiting for us to learn to plant, and you Xuanbao still want to plant mulberries and raise silkworms? I don’t want to at all!”
“And silkworms are bugs! I can’t even touch them! I’ve seen the silkworms raised by Brother Xuanyuan, they need to be cared for meticulously every day, more demanding than me. After raising them for so long, the silk they produce is only enough to make one piece of clothing for you, Xuanbao, it’s not worth it.”
Seeing that they were not interested and even very resistant, Ruo Xuan gave up; she never liked to force others.
Everyone has their own preferences and aspirations, it’s best to do what one enjoys.
