Otherworldly Farmhouse

Tang Anwen looked at the design drawing that Lin Fan handed him. He was very familiar with it. It was originally a warship that Shang Yu asked him to draw, and it was used to escort merchant ships on long voyages.

For this era of cold weapons, if you don't have cannons, you can only use this external weapon. Seeing Lin Fan's performance today, you know that Lin Fan likes this warship very much.This person is the first client of their shipyard. Tang Anwen hopes to leave the best impression on the other party. This is their first shot and must be done well.

Tang Anwen looked at the design drawing, and thought about the question raised by Lin Fan in his mind. Tang Anwen felt that Lin Fan was right. If such a ship was taken out casually, the court would really think it was a conspiracy.However, caravans must be guarded by warships. Without warship guards, the caravan going out to sea will probably be plundered by pirates. For Tang Anwen who grew up in modern times, a certain amount of force is necessary, otherwise he will be beaten. This is the truth summed up by the veterans of the revolution with their lives.

After being silent for a while, Tang Anwen had some concepts in his mind, so he said to Lin Fan: "I have figured out a solution, but it's just a concept, and it takes time to perfect. You may have to wait a few days before I can give you a plan."

Lin Fan nodded when he heard Tang Anwen's words. He already knew that Tang Anwen was very smart, and it was not a difficult problem for Tang Anwen.This kid is not good at conspiracies and tricks, and his mind is pure and timid, but for King Zhennan, Tang Anwen has a flexible mind and can think of a way.

After Shang Yu heard Tang Anwen's words from the side, he said curiously: "Awen, what method have you thought of, let me tell you, I'm very curious."

Tang Anwen glanced at Shang Yu, who was smiling like a fox, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. We just need to release the two parts to make them, and those spears will be used to catch big whales. Five or six meters can be said. Add prostheses, all made of wood, and just insert the spear when needed, of course after going to sea, otherwise you will be in big trouble when you meet the navy."

Shang Yu heard Tang Anwen talking while showing them the brush drawing. Although Shang Yu and Zhennan Wang didn’t fully understand it, they understood some of Tang Anwen’s meaning. It can be disassembled and installed, even if it is His spear was discovered by the navy, and there was actually a reason to catch whales. Tang Anwen was able to figure it out, and he didn't think of it at all.

While several people were talking, Mu Feng coaxed Sambo to sleep and came out of the room.During lunch, he noticed that Xiao Sifan overreacted when he saw Lin Fan.And Lin Fan's movements are extremely elegant, whether it's eating or other things. This feeling is something that the young master of the family can't give. Shang Yu's movements are already very good, but Lin Fan feels more integrated.

Especially when Xiao Sifan covered his mouth and waited for Lin Fan, Mu Feng also noticed that Lin Fan looked at Xiao Sifan, definitely not like a stranger, this Lin Fan probably knew Xiao Sifan, and people who knew Xiao Sifan , must have something to do with King Zhennan.

So afterward Mu Feng paid special attention to Lin Fan, whether it was after Lin Fan had dinner or walking upstairs.Mu Feng's memory is very good, he has seen King Zhennan walking, when he saw Lin Fan walking upstairs from behind, he was sure in his heart that this Lin Fan was King Zhennan.

Mu Feng didn't understand why King Zhennan used another identity to get close to A Wen, and he didn't know whether Shang Yu knew Lin Fan's identity.But looking at Shang Yu's performance at the dinner table, this arrogant boy is extremely respectful to Lin Fan, he must know the identity of Zhennan King, and thinking of these Mu Feng's heads are a little big.

When Mu Feng watched Tang Anwen explain to Lin Fan and Shang Yu, Mu Feng realized that Ah Wen probably fell into the pit of King Zhennan again.This is obviously a warship. No wonder Shang Yu ran to his house every day. It must be that Shang Yu got on the line of King Zhennan and begged Ah Wen to design a warship. Designed warships.King Zhennan probably liked it very much after seeing it, and after knowing it was Ah Wen, he changed his appearance and came to chat with Ah Wen. Such a guess is completely reasonable.

Seeing Mu Feng coming out, Tang Anwen raised his head and said, "Mu Feng is going to bring a pot of water to make tea. I'm a little thirsty. Remember to bring me the Maojian I bought specially. That tea is delicious."

Mu Feng glanced at Zhennan Queen, nodded and went downstairs to fetch boiling water.He knew that King Zhennan would not do anything to Awen for the time being, maybe he needed to find some time to talk to Lin Fan.The former King of Zhennan may not have cared about the life and death of their family, but now the King of Zhennan probably sees the benefits of Awen, and he will definitely not do anything to Awen.Even if something happened, he would definitely give priority to protecting Ah Wen. After all, Ah Wen is so smart, and anything in his hands is not a problem. For the time being, Mu Feng is not particularly worried about safety.

When Mu Feng came up with boiling water, Tang Anwen and the others had already finished chatting about the warship. At this time, the three of them began to chat about the life of the people. Lin Fan said that the war in the north is tense now, and many refugees from the north are pouring into the south. The burden on the south, but we can't ignore them, otherwise the refugees will definitely mess up.

Tang Anwen was fiddling with his tea set while listening to Shang Yu's opinion. This guy really didn't have any sympathy. He said that they should be driven to the barren mountains to open up wasteland. They must not be allowed to enter the city, otherwise there will be chaos and threaten the people in the city safety.

Mu Feng came up with water, Tang Anwen picked up the teapot and started to make tea. After pouring Lin Fan and Shang Yu each a cup of tea, he said: "It's not appropriate to drive them to the barren hills. It's winter, you let them What to eat, what to make a living, those old and weak may freeze to death and starve to death, and the young people who still care about the old and young at home will definitely become hidden dangers at this time, so we must give them a hope, at least let them survive Hopefully, so they don't make trouble, and let off steam so they don't have the energy to make trouble."

After hearing Tang Anwen's words, Shang Yu nodded and said: "You think right, but there is nothing in the south that needs so many people, not to mention that the government can't afford to support the millions of refugees who are rushing over."

King Zhennan also agreed with Shang Yu's words that even the government cannot afford to support such thousands of refugees.King Zhennan looked at Tang Anwen, wondering what good solution this kid could come up with.

Just when Tang Anwen was about to say something, Mu Feng said: "Ah Wen has some things that we shouldn't care about. These things should be troublesome for officials and gentlemen. It's not up to us small people to figure out a solution. Even if you figure it out If there is anything, no one else will use it, just run your shipyard well.” Mu Feng said that this is of course not to stop Tang Anwen from thinking of a way, he just wants to confirm the reaction of King Zhennan, if it is true If it's just an ordinary businessman, it's time to stop the topic at this time. If Lin Fan is what he thinks, he will definitely look for an opportunity to ask.

It's a pity that Tang Anwen didn't understand what Mu Feng meant. For Tang Anwen, if he could save these tens of thousands of refugees, he would definitely save them.Who let him come from that world and received the education of that era, so many people were frozen to death and starved to death. If he has the ability to rescue him, he still needs to help.

Tang Anwen coughed lowly and said: "You can't say that in Mu Feng's words. If we can help, we still have to help. Besides, we are just talking. Don't we need to build a canal in the Huai River? And the Huai River Jiang also needs to rebuild the dams. Don’t they all need manpower! Those refugees don’t need silver, as long as they are given food and don’t let them starve to death, they must be willing to work hard. And the benefits are obvious, In the past years, those officials organized the construction of dams, which were not filled with private pockets. The dams were built like tofu dregs, and they collapsed as soon as the flood flooded. These refugees built them, and they must contribute. There are also places where we need to build various official roads and employ people in Huai River The sea has gone, as long as our government is really willing to help the refugees, it will not be a big problem."

Hearing Tang Anwen's words, Shang Yu slapped his thigh and said: "Ah Wen, you are really smart, you can think of such a way. In the past years, to build dams, our aristocratic families need to pay a lot of silver taels, and I don't know how much these silver taels are. It was used on the embankment, and how many of them were pocketed by those officials. If we only provided food, we can let the family build porridge shops and the like, and we will not be pocketed by those officials at all."

King Zhennan nodded after hearing this. Tang Anwen's method is not bad. In previous years, the dams would be built in March and April, but they were destroyed by floods every year. If there was Tang Anwen's method, he would send loyal subordinates Look, the dam will definitely not be repaired like the tofu dregs that Awen said, and it will also solve the headaches that have caused him these years.There is also the official road. The official road in Huaishui has not been repaired for many years. One is that he does not want the emperor to think that he cares too much about these mundane things. Those who spread gossip about him.

Didn't expect one of his problems, let Tang Anwen solve two birds with one stone. You must know that although he is the king of Zhennan, he will go to the mountains and rivers when he has time, but he also flaunts benevolence and righteousness. He is very generous when encountering disasters. It is necessary to open a porridge factory and open a warehouse to release grain. The emperor also appreciated this matter very much.

Mu Feng saw a flash of surprise in Lin Fan's eyes, he shook his head, Ah Wen was really too young, he only had a smart head, and he didn't see anything wrong with Lin Fan until now.But Mu Feng is not going to tell Ah Wen, it is good to let Ah Wen live happily in this way.

Tang Anwen and Shangyu Zhennan Wang discussed this issue again. Tang Anwen poured them a cup of tea from time to time. Mu Feng was very happy to see Tang Anwen chatting happily. Zhennan Wang is not useless , at least it can make Ah Wen happy.At this moment, Mao Mao's cry came from Uncle Chen's room, Mu Feng put down his teacup and got up to hug Mao Mao.

Seeing that Maomao woke up, Tang Anwen asked Shang Yu and Lin Fan to continue to sit. He ran downstairs to find Uncle Chen and asked Uncle Chen to boil the goat milk. Mao Mao woke up from sleep.Mr. Chen directly brought the goat milk soup, and asked Tang Anwen to bring it up to Mu Feng, who then asked Mu Feng to feed Maomao.Mr. Chen had a very winking look. Whenever Tang Anwen took people upstairs to talk about things, he would never let the buddy, and even he himself would not bother Tang Anwen last time.

The sweet and fragrant goat's milk soup was served, and even Guoguo, the Sifan children in the room, twitched their little noses, and the two little guys came out of the room sniffing the scent.Seeing the goat's milk soup in Tang Anwen's hand, he immediately stared at it eagerly. It was very obvious that they wanted to eat it too.

Tang Anwen couldn't resist the pitiful eyes of the two children, so he handed the small bowl of goat milk soup to Mu Feng, and said to the two anxious little guys: "Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs See if there are any more! If Guoguo Sifan doesn't have any, let Eminem make other sweet soups for you, okay?"

Guoguo and Xiao Sifan nodded immediately after hearing this, and Guoguo quickly reminded: "My brother wants it too, Eh Mu, don't forget my brother."

Mufeng nodded when he heard Guoguo's words, and said something that he would never forget.Tang Anwen came downstairs and asked Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen nodded immediately, saying that he specially asked the goat milk delivery person to deliver it one more time in the morning. There is no stewing, and the goat milk soup of several other children is stewed in bamboo tubes. This kind of goat milk soup will have a faint bamboo fragrance of golden bamboo.

Tang Anwen brought the goat's milk soup upstairs with a tray, took out the goat's milk soup from the tray and put it on the small table, called out the beans, and let the three little guys stand by the small table to eat .Xiao Sifan took a bite and looked up at Lin Fan. He always felt that this person was very much like his father, but Xiao Sifan was not sure, and he was even more unwilling to believe it, because once he was sure, he would probably not be able to play with Guoguo in the future up.

Tang Anwen also noticed Xiao Sifan's movements at this time, always felt that this little guy was always looking at Lin Fan, Tang Anwen turned his head to look at Lin Fan carefully, but didn't notice anything wrong with Lin Fan.So he asked: "Sifan, do you know Uncle Lin Fan? Why do you keep looking at him?"

After hearing Tang Anwen's words, Xiao Sifan was taken aback and quickly said: "No, Uncle Tang, I just think this uncle is kind-hearted, I don't know him anymore."

Lin Fan also smiled and said, "I have an ordinary face, and many people say I have a good face."

After chatting for more than half an hour, Lin Fan also came to see Tang Anwen, and gained a lot, so he said to Tang Anwen: "I won't bother you for now, there are still some things to be done at home, so I will go ahead, Shangyu, what do you want?" Don't come back with me."

Shang Yu nodded after hearing Zhennan King's words. Although he was a little puzzled, for example, Sifan seemed to be similar to Zhennan King, but he would not mention these things here. If he had anything to say, he would wait until he left Tang Anwen's house.Zhennan King is Lin Fan here, he doesn't want to annoy Zhennan King, when the time comes, it will only be a matter of minutes if someone cuts off his head.

Tang Anwen sent Shang Yu and Lin Fan away. At this time, the sky was getting dark. Today's weather has not been good, and the water is still covered with fog. It looks like it is going to snow.When Tang Anwen went back upstairs, he went to find Xiao Sifan who had just finished eating the goat milk soup, and told Xiao Sifan that it might snow and it was getting dark. He had to send Xiao Sifan back earlier, otherwise when the sky completely darkened, There is no way to send Xiao Sifan back.

Although King Zhennan really didn't care much about these two sons, if he didn't go back at night, he might be discovered by King Zhennan.Tang Anwen also thought about it, if he could get in touch with Lin Rui, the concubine, maybe he could better hide Zhennan Wang.After all, Huaishui Lake is so big, and Zhennan King doesn't necessarily all live in other courtyards in Huaishui City. If you want to meet in such a big place, you need some chances, as long as Xiao Sifan doesn't say anything.

Although Xiao Sifan didn't play enough and was reluctant to part with Guoguo, he knew that he had played here for a long time and he must go home before dark.During the day, Daddy is very busy and has no time to pay attention to him, but at night not only Eminem will come to see him, even Daddy will come to have a look, if he doesn't come home.In the future, Ah Mu won't let him out, and dad won't let him out, not to mention that Xiao Sifan knows that Ah Mu has a little brother in his belly, so he can't let Ah Mu worry, so he has to go home early.

Mufeng hugged Mao Mao, and stood on the small pier with Guoguo and Douzi. Guoguo and Xiao Sifan were reluctant to part, and made an appointment to meet and play in ten days.Xiao Sifan just followed Tang Anwen into the boat, Douzi and Guoguo waved to Xiao Sifan, and Xiao Sifan also waved to Guoguo tearfully, the three little guys were immersed in the sadness of the temporary parting.But this little guy, Maomao, saw the three big brothers waving, and he also giggled and waved at little Sifan, as if it was a happy thing.

The boat slowly pulled away from the pier, turned a corner and rowed towards the waterway. Guoguo and Douzi chased the boat and ran towards the bamboo raft. The three children went back to the house.The business in the store was extremely bad, except for the stewed pork, fortunately Mufeng didn't prepare too many noodles and rice, otherwise these things would be wasted.Fortunately, the weather is cold now, so it’s no problem to store the braised pork for a day or two, and there will be a group of people coming to buy the braised pork in the evening, because at that time, the braised pork at Mufeng’s house will be [-]% cheaper, and many boatmen will come back It's time to buy some to go back to satisfy my hunger.

Tang Anwen took Xiao Sifan to the pier on the shore, called a carriage and drove directly to the other courtyard of Zhennan Wangfu, and Xiao Sifan sat obediently in Tang Anwen's arms along the way.He feels that Uncle Tang is much better than his father. Uncle Tang will play with them. His father is very busy every day. Even if he goes to find his father, his father will always ask the guards or servants to take him to play. This makes Xiao Sifan very happy. Not happy, and unwilling to play with his father.

Arriving at the other courtyard of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Tang Anwen took Xiao Sifan to the corner door at the back of the courtyard, kissed Xiao Sifan on the cheek, and then let Xiao Sifan go back.Xiao Sifan ran two steps, turned around and ran back to Tang Anwen, slapped Tang Anwen on the face twice, then turned and ran to Xiaojiaomen.Tang Anwen didn't feel relieved to leave until Xiao Sifan ran into Xiaojiaomen.The small corner door in the backyard of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion seemed to be specially opened for Xiao Sifan. Not long after Xiao Sifan entered, the small corner door was closed and locked by a Xiaosi.

Upstairs near Xiaojiaomen, King Zhennan looked at Tang Anwen kissing his son's face, feeling a little upset. Why did his son like Tang Anwen so much.When he saw Xiao Sifan running back to kiss Tang Anwen, King Zhennan immediately turned black. His son had never been so intimate with him in his age, and Tang Anwen took all the good things.Although King Zhennan was aggrieved in his heart, King Zhennan felt much better when he thought that Tang Anwen was afraid that he would be like a mouse seeing a cat, so he helped him solve two things.

Shang Yu was standing in the small living room admiring the calligraphy and painting, when he saw King Zhennan's face turned black, then his face turned blue and then white, and it took a long time for him to recover.Although he was extremely curious, Shang Yu would not ask stupidly. He just glanced at the window, and he saw a person turning around in the distance, to see why he looked so similar to Tang Anwen.Shang Yu suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent, and he was eager to try in his heart. Could it be that Tang Anwen and Zhennan Wang still had a story, or why did Zhennan Wang conceal Tang Anwen's identity.

Shang Yu suddenly became excited. It seems that the story between Tang Anwen and King Zhennan still needs to be discovered by him.

Tang Anwen left the other courtyard of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but did not go back directly, but went to Zhang Dafu's house, and as he expected, Zhang Dafu was not at home.Zhang Hong was going to entertain Tang Anwen to stay at night. He thought that Tang Anwen would come over in the afternoon and he didn't bring his children, so maybe he had something to discuss with Zhang Dafu.

Tang Anwen naturally refused, and told Zhang Hong the purpose of his visit, hoping that Zhang Hong would pay him attention to the small courtyard on the bank of the Huai River.Because it is cold and humid on the water in winter, buying firewood, charcoal and even grocery shopping is extremely troublesome. If you move to the shore, not only can you build a stove, but shopping and living will be much more convenient.

When Zhang Hong heard Tang Anwen's words, she nodded immediately, saying that Tang Anwen should have moved to live on the shore long ago. Living on the water is so troublesome, and living on the shore will make it easier for the two of them to communicate.Zhang Hong told Tang Anwen that he would pay attention to it, and would notify Tang Anwen immediately if there was a good small courtyard.

Tang Anwen nodded and said goodbye to Zhang Hong before leaving the Zhang family.However, he was not in a hurry to go home, but stayed outside the city. He let the carriage go around the city to see where the scenery was better and it was more suitable for their family to live in.Although he got rid of Zhang Hong's help to watch, but Tang Anwen himself was going to look for it, maybe he could find a good small courtyard.

Mu Feng looked at the man who came to the store. This man came to their store after Tang Anwen left. The man wanted to buy this bamboo basket, and he was willing to spend a thousand taels of silver.However, Mu Feng did not agree at this time. Although there is a lot of silver, Ah Wen does not seem to be planning to sell the house. Judging from Ah Wen's tone, Ah Wen still wants to live here to escape the summer next summer.

The other party has been pestering Mufeng, telling Mufeng that there is basically no business in the water town in winter, and he is willing to buy it at a high price because his young master has taken a fancy to this place and wants to open a small inn here for fun, otherwise he I will not come here specifically to discuss this matter.

He really didn't think this house was worth a thousand taels, but his young master liked the taste of braised pork in this shop, so he wanted to take over this snack shop.If Mu Feng does not agree now, maybe his young master will change his mind tomorrow, Mu Feng and the others will miss the opportunity, and it is basically impossible to find a seller of thousands of miles of silver.

Mu Feng told the other party that he would think about it, and he would never agree to the other party before discussing it with Tang Anwen, not to mention that he and A Wen built the house little by little, 1000 taels, although it seems like a lot, but it is very important to the present As far as Mu Feng is concerned, this little amount of silver really can't make his heart move. He has seen tens of thousands of taels of gold before, let alone a mere thousand taels of silver.

Tang Anwen walked around outside Huaishui City, and then around the shore, and then ordered the coachman to take him to a tooth shop.This trip Tang Anwen didn't go in vain, he did like a few places, the scenery is good, if there are houses for sale in those places, Tang Anwen is going to buy a small courtyard, and a clerk in the tooth shop is half a dollar Finally, let the other party come over and tell him that there will be a big thank you when the time comes, and Tang Anwen left the shore.

At this time, the sky began to drizzle, holding an umbrella borrowed from the coachman in his hand, despite the lightness of the rain, it was extremely cold, and when a drop splashed on his face, the cold air went straight into his flesh.The cold wind and drizzle in the north is like a steel knife scraping bones, while the cold wind and drizzle in the south is like poison lingering, continuous and endless, and the cold air penetrates into the cracks in the bones.

By the time Tang Anwen returned home, the sky had completely darkened, and the drizzle was no longer just drizzle. The continuous drizzle was mixed with the sound of crackling snow, and it seemed that it was going to snow this day.As soon as Tang Anwen entered the house, Mu Feng brought a bowl of hot ginger soup. When Tang Anwen finished drinking the ginger soup, Mu Feng had already prepared the bath water, and asked Tang Anwen to take a hot bath to get rid of the cold.

In the evening, Mufeng told Tang Anwen that someone wanted the bamboo building in the afternoon. Tang Anwen thought the other party was generous at first.But when Tang Anwen heard that the other party wanted to use 1000 taels to take over his stewed pork, he immediately became furious and told Mu Feng that his bamboo house was not for sale, and the recipe for stewed pork was not for sale.The stewed pork recipe of the entire Muha tribe is worth 1000 taels. Whoever made a joke, Tang Anwen might not buy it for 1 taels. Mufeng told him a long time ago that this recipe will never be passed on to the Muha tribe. of.

Tang Anwen had already figured it out at this time, the other party was not interested in his house at all, but in the recipe of his stewed pork. Not only did he want to buy a bamboo building with 1000 taels of silver, but he also wanted to use word games to dig a hole and wait for the wood to buy it. The wind got in.Just wanting to buy his bamboo house and stewed pork recipe for a mere thousand taels of silver is simply a daydream.

But Tang Anwen was also thankful, fortunately, Mu Feng was not the kind of person who was blind to money, or else he might have sold the most valuable formula for a mere thousand taels of silver at this time.
