To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao tugged at Li Zhifeng's ears and said, "Hello."

"Huh?" Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao wanted to tease him a few words, but she didn't know what to say, so she lay on his back, her hands lazily hanging from his shoulders, dangling, sticking to his ear and saying : "Hey, what can I ask you, is the market far away?"

I have already asked that question once, and when You Miao said that, she was blatantly molesting him, just like in the capital, You Miao used this trick to try Li Yan, and it was almost unsuccessful. Every time she molested him, Li Yan would She glared at him, then beat him up, hugged him and kissed him after the beating.

Li Zhifeng's reaction was that his handsome face turned red instantly.

"Ask you..." You Miao almost whispered in his ear.

Li Zhifeng looked at You Miao sideways, and immediately kissed his lips. You Miao closed his eyes and lay on his back. When he kissed, something seemed to melt in his heart.

"Not far." When his lips parted, the blush on Li Zhifeng's face hadn't faded, and he walked on his own.

You Miao stuck his fingers into Li Zhifeng's ears and turned around. Li Zhifeng's breathing became short of breath, and his steps were a little weak. He carried You Miao on his back and walked towards the river, his voice was a little unsteady, and said: "Last night Didn't you get enough?"

You Miao smiled, and the two arrived at the riverside on the east side of Guozhuang. Li Zhifeng's mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "Here we are."

The Yangtze River passes through the high cliff area of ​​Jiangbo Mountain Villa, and here it turns into waves. There is a pier here, which is specially used for loading and unloading goods in Shudong, Badong and Jiangcheng Mansion. To the north of Yangzhou.

There is a bustling market in front of the pier, covering a distance of one mile. Half of the stalls on both sides are selling fish, and the other half are selling rouge and gouache, Suzhou embroidery sea salt, food and clothing, and a juggler leading three monkeys.

You Miao wandered around, but there was nothing to buy, but she wanted to eat some fish, so she chose two big carps and said, "Buy these and go back to eat."

Li Zhifeng carried the fish, and the two of them turned around again. A large ferry boat with an open roof stopped by the river, and shouted, "Cross-the river-hey-"

They got on the boat, threw two copper coins into the bamboo tube, and the boatman slowly crossed the river with the boat.

"The boundary outside the villa must be enclosed." You Miao said.

"Yeah." Li Zhifeng said, "Use a fence, I'll go around it."

You Miao said: "Actually, as long as there are people in the land next to Guozhuang, just find a few families for them to guard, and then set up a few guard posts."

Li Zhifeng nodded, and You Miao looked at the river rolling. The river in the south of the Yangtze River is not frozen, which is a good thing.There are too many things to do, such as reclamation, farming, building waterwheels, recruiting tenants... The house has not been repaired yet.

You Miao licked her lips, noticed the carp that Li Zhifeng was carrying and rolled her eyes, and said, "This fish is delicious, you can't handle it."

Li Zhifeng said: "Yes, grilled fish."

You Miao said, "I'll leave it to you when I go back."

When the boat docked, You Miao found out how many round trips the ferry made every day, and followed the crowd. The pier where the ferry was moored was already five miles away from the boundary of Jiangbo Villa, and the two of them had to walk back slowly to the entrance of the villa. At the same place, You Miao found another large pit covering an area of ​​about ten acres, and the pit was full of grass.

"Is this a pond?" You Miao asked in surprise.

"Young Master You." A skinny man was squatting beside the big pit smoking a dry cigarette. When he saw You Miao coming, he smiled and said, "Why did you go out, Young Master? Did you see anyone?"

"Yeah." You Miao walked a few steps around the pit and said, "Your family lives here? What's your name?"

The thin man pointed to the west with the chimney, and said with an apologetic smile, "The young one is called Zhu Tang. He was scolded by his wife just now, so he came out for a walk."

You Miao nodded. After the first meeting yesterday, she knew that this guy probably didn't want to leave. Once she said that she was scolded by his wife, she could guess that he must have come to ask for a rent reduction and was scolded by his wife.But he didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "If I lower your land rent by one cent, do you want to leave?"

Zhu Tang was startled immediately, and when he was about to nod his head, he thought of something and said, "I have to... go back and ask my wife."

You Miao said: "It's okay, I originally wanted to lower the rent for you, but I said that I don't want to farm the land anymore. I didn't have time to say this yesterday. You can go back and discuss it with your wife. Now you need to find a good one." The land is not easy, I don’t mean to lie to you, it’s better to plant the land for my father than for me.”

Zhu Tang said with a flattering smile, "Young master is right, even the north side of Guozhuang has to charge four cents of the land rent."

You Miao hummed, and looked at the big pit in a daze. This is obviously a big lake, why did the water dry up?The three walked along the lake to the west, and You Miao saw another stream pointing to Anlu in the south, and said, "Is this pond out of water?"

Zhu Tang said: "I have been working for ten years. When there was water in the past, Liang Bo was still fishing here. When there was rain in spring and summer, he still accumulated some bottoms from time to time."

You Miao asked again: "Where does this stream go?"

Zhu Tang said: "As for Anlu Village, everything else in our villa is good, but the water is inconvenient."

You Miao nodded slowly, already knowing what she was thinking, and patted Zhu Tang on the shoulder, with a mature and dignified look, and went back to the villa with Li Zhifeng along the way.

You Miao just felt that time passed too fast, and it was past noon without doing anything at all. The two craftsmen were brothers, and they were called Da Liang and Xiao Liang respectively. All the things to be repaired are here, please take a look at it, young master."

The things drawn on the paper were marked with a lot of words, which ordinary people couldn't understand, but it was no problem for You Miao. He said: "Pack up your things first, and wait in front of the main room. I'll come over later."

You Miao went into the study room, spread out the Tiangong Kaiwu, compared it with the size of the girder mark, changed a few places, took it out again, and said, "It will be done according to the repair."

Daliang saw that You Miao was a knowledgeable person, and said, "Young master also learned this skill?"

You Miao said with a smile: "My mother also learned from the patriarch."

Now the two craftsmen didn't dare to underestimate him any more, they used a stick to make gestures, flicked the ink thread, and scratched the powder. You Miao went back to the study and motioned Li Zhifeng to push the desk to the long couch, then snuggled up on the couch and started flipping through the books.

Li Zhifeng said, "I'll go and watch them."

You Miao waved his hand and said, "Don't watch, they don't dare to mess around, just go and grill the fish later."

The puppy came over, curled up in front of the couch, wagging its tail, You Miao leaned on Li Zhifeng, Li Zhifeng's body was very warm, hugging him, You Miao felt distracted for a while, and wanted to take off his clothes, just in the study Hang out during the day.

But the craftsman is still outside, if he is seen, it will make a joke, so he has to endure it.

You Miao found another copy of "Gongshujing", read it with relish, and after a while, all her little thoughts were attracted by the mechanism diagram in the book.
