Chapter 21 Planning the Field

Three days later, the day to release the rankings arrived.The number of students participating in the Tongsheng scholar in the city has always been the largest.When it comes to Juren, the number will drop by three quarters, leaving only one quarter.This is due to the large number of students in the Jiangnan area.If it is placed in the northwest region, I am afraid that it is not bad for a city to produce a juren.If there are a few scholars, it is time for the county magistrate to drink a few glasses of good wine.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng both had a premonition that the results of the rankings would not be so bad.But Jia Lian never imagined that he would also win the first place.Whether there is flattery to Rongning Second Mansion or other things here, it is enough to make the whole small courtyard happy.Knowing that he won the first place, Jia Lian stood alone in the yard for a long time.Wang Xifeng leaned on the porch and looked at him, thinking about the him in his memory.It seems that this kind of time when I want to shout but hold back is only when I am pregnant with my sister Qiao.It's a pity...such beautiful days are very short.Joy flashed in her eyes, and she turned and walked into the house.Qiu Ju looked at her, very puzzled:

"Grandma won't stay with Second Master for a while?"

"Accompany with what?" Wang Xifeng sat in front of her small desk, spreading out Bai Shuxuan to retouch her pen.She squinted at Qiu Ju: "Let that idiot stand outside..."

"Grandma, if this second master is a fool... wouldn't grandma become a foolish lady?" Qiu Ju laughed at Wang Xifeng's words.The corner of Wang Xifeng's mouth curled up, Jia Lian had the name of a scholar, and below him was Juren.Everything is different from before, this place has become a fan world.It was no longer the life she used to live.But in the future, who can tell?The officialdom... the wunderkind...

While writing her plan on the rice paper with unattractive fonts, she was thinking wildly in her mind.

Jia Lian vented outside and restrained for a long time, and then he slowly let out a breath, which was a relief.When he walked into the room, he saw Wang Xifeng sitting there quietly and indifferently in silver and red, writing.He knows that his daughter-in-law can write and read.If you don't know how to read, how can you understand the account book?It's just that he doesn't know how to recite poems and paint, but he doesn't need a lady who recites poems and paints.

Seeing him coming in, Wang Xifeng just looked up: "Second Master is willing to come in? I thought Second Master was going to stay outside forever?"

"How is it possible!" Jia Lian sat sideways on the stool opposite the small book case, and casually picked up a book with a silver hairpin bookmark stuck in it.It looks a bit old, I can't tell what year it is.Open it along the bookmark, it is written about rice fields, and it is clear with the picture.Jia Lian was attracted by this book for a while, and he soon realized that if the content of this book is feasible, it will definitely benefit the world.He looked at Wang Xifeng: "I don't know this book..."

"It was in my mother's dowry in the early years. The documents of the previous dynasty, the second master is interested? I remember this book, and I think I will read it when I get the field." Wang Xifeng acted innocently, she knew in her heart that this book was just a space Part of that clutter.It's just that what can be applied to this era at the moment probably really depends on this book.She said it was the previous court, so it was impossible to test.Although the former dynasty survived for more than 200 years, many things were burned to the ground in the palace fire after the war and defeat.In addition to the wars in many places over the next 100 years, it is even more untestable.

"It's a good book. If it can be completed, it must be beneficial to the world." Jia Lian touched the book and put it down reluctantly.He didn't want to give his little daughter-in-law a bad impression, and he would never touch her dowry unless it was absolutely necessary in this life.

"If this is really the case, it must be great!" Wang Xifeng stopped writing, threw it into the brush washer and looked at Jia Lian: "I need to use it in the next few days, so this is not the case. The second master asked someone to copy a copy and send it to Beijing. My uncle, let's see his opinion. If the exam is good, it will definitely give the second master more weight in the imperial examination in the future."

"How can this be done? After all, this is your dowry..." Although Jia Lian had this idea, he had sworn it.

"Second Master just copied it out, so what's the loss for me?" Wang Xifeng smiled and took a small pen, moistened the ink and continued to write with his head bowed.She still has a lot of places to modify, delete and delete.After all, this is not playing the computer game Romantic Manor. Go to a construction peddler to buy a terrain design, and you can succeed with just a click of the mouse.If you want to increase your strength, the terrain design table can also be completed quickly.If it is broken, it can be remade, but it is just a matter of some game currency.If this cannot be calculated, there will be no way to remedy it except for problems in the future.

"That's good!" Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard that, he got up and gave Wang Xifeng a gift: "This is a thank you gift for Second Mistress!"

"Go... don't worship me here!" Wang Xifeng sideways avoided, and pushed him: "If the second master is free, why don't you go to worship the teacher as soon as possible. It is also the first name, although I don't have those heads. Listen! Well, that's a good start too."

"Second Grandma's reminder is! Second Grandma's reminder is!" Jia Lian smiled again and again, got up and yelled at the servants and maids to prepare the horse for him and prepare the ceremony that he had prepared before to go out.

What Wang Xifeng wants to do is the model of modern farms.But the transportation and productivity in ancient times restricted this development to a large extent.The labor and production of village households are also mostly independent.Co-production is rare.She had to work out new regulations that would both scale up production and speed up production.For example, eggs, concentrated chicken raising will largely cause problems such as chicken plague.But if it is free-range and semi-concentrated, adding fruit trees will be better.While Jia Lian was preparing for the exam, she had already approached the old village head and gave him an acre of land to plant seeds.If the yield can be high, it is inevitable to save a large area of ​​seeds next year, although it may not be possible to have so many seeds.But half of this year, next year will be all.What's more, the southern region is harvested in two seasons.As for the fruit trees, she wanted to see how much marginal land could flow out after the new canals were opened.Then make plans.

At this time, there are too few fruits, except for pears and nako.Otherwise, there are seasonal plums, peaches and some wild fruits.Most of them are also found on the mountain, so I picked them.Concentrated planting is also rare.There are also pigs, cattle and sheep.Although there is no shortage of farm cattle right now, she wants to eat beef!There is also overseas trade, which she also wants to participate in.But right now, the fields alone are enough for her.I'm afraid that if you want to do it, it will take three to five years.

She calculated very well, if the country is really broken in the future.It is also possible to be a rich farmer.After all, in her memory, she just moved from Kaifeng, Henan to Nanjing in the end.Of course, she didn't know where to move in the end.Anyway, the Red Mansion is an empty era.Song is not Song, Ming is not clear, Qing is not clear, Liao Jin is not Liao Jin.

After Jia Lian visited the teacher, he went to the fourth and fifth rooms in private.After all, he is the heir of the most prosperous house, the head of the fourth house and the head of the fifth house both came forward to receive him.Looking at Jia Lian, who is gentle and well-mannered and is now the number one, they didn't hold him too much.After all, in terms of seniority, they are just of the same clan.Out of the fifth server, no one can say who is older and who is younger.It's just that when Jia Lian mentioned which two lands, they all felt strange.

They all know about the separation of the six households.It's just that the 600 mu of land originally existed as a six-room sacrifice field.When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately understood what the old lady had done.At that time, Jia's mother did entrust the two families to take care of them, but she only said that 4000% of the annual income would be used as interest for the two families to take care of them.After all, Zhuangzi has Zhuangtou and farmers.I will also send people to do so, and take out [-]% of the proceeds as sacrifices and sweeping graves.Over the years, every year they came and went, they just sent people to collect the three or four thousand taels of silver.As for the others, I really don't know.

Hearing what the two rooms said, Jia Lian understood what Jia Mu was playing.He didn't tell Wang Xifeng, but wrote to Wang Ziteng.On the one hand, it was about the book in Wang Xifeng's hand, and he said that he would send it over after copying it.On the other hand, I also asked Wang Ziteng how to deal with this matter.Is it to recover the previous money, or just forget it, or something else.

Wang Xifeng didn't care about Jia Lian's behavior. She met the old village chief several times in a row, and she also felt very good about his eldest son and daughter-in-law.They are all down-to-earth farmers, especially the daughter-in-law.It seems that he is silent and willing to work, not to mention, he is also able to carefully raise and educate other people's children as his own.She asked the couple what they meant, and decided to hand over all the agricultural products in Jinling to them.To be on the safe side, she still signed the mysterious contract with them.

She did have people on hand, but they were all from the capital.Not to mention whether she can seriously deal with the affairs in the south, but some human relations in the capital make her feel tired.

According to the previous design, she wrote down her plan, drew a circle with charcoal with burnt willow branches according to the map to explain, and asked the eldest son of the old village chief to stay and find Mr. Feng Shui to re-survey the terrain and prepare for construction.

The old village chief had three sons, the second son died of the plague.The daughter-in-law also died of dystocia during childbirth.The youngest son has just been married for less than three years, and his wife is also a woman from this village.Wang Xifeng hoped to build a house with more people, so she decided to use burnt bricks to build the house. At the same time, there are more purple sand mines in Jinling area.While building, people are also looking for some clay mines to buy and protect.Even if it is not used now, it will be useful in the future.

There are many brick-making workshops near Jinling, and Wang Xifeng handed over the work to the youngest son and daughter-in-law of the old village chief.The young couple are young and energetic.

Wang Xifeng was very busy here, and Jia Lian also contacted the boat to Yangzhou, and at the same time sent a letter to Lin Ruhai.He thought about it, no matter what, he had to go there first, and then bring his wife to the door.Wang Xifeng didn't want to see Jia Min too early at this time.

She's not the one who can't recognize Jia Lian, but she is very clear about Jia Min's feelings for Jia's mother.During the first three years when she first entered the school, her family had to send big gifts to the south almost every year and festival.Although there are three concubine aunts, none of them can compare to this one.Moreover, before Jia Min got married, she was in charge of housework.Until his serious mother-in-law came in, he was just housekeeping with his sister-in-law.Although Jia's mother lost her sense of proportion to Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and her superiors.But for this adopted daughter, it's really hard to tell.

Hearing what Jia Lian said, she remembered Lin Daiyu's body and Lin Ruhai's physical condition.She was thinking about what to do with the three bottles of Tianlu after Jia Lian left.She wants to dilute a bottle, and the snow water for dilution is also ready these days.She waited for Jia Lian to come back, and after hearing the news, she decided whether to save Lin Ruhai's life.

------------------------------------------

Jia Lian packed up and went on the road. It only takes one day from Jinling to Yangzhou.After seeing Jia Lian on board, Wang Xifeng changed into a blue short jacket and trousers, and a Tsinghua Lian Lizhi smock over her head, and entered Qiu Ju's room.Qiu Ju was guarding outside. She took out the distillation vessel and carefully operated it, remembering what she had learned in middle school.After melting, filtering, and distilling the frozen snow water, she carefully used a straw to put a ball of Tianlu into the flask, heated it and shook it evenly.Then he took out twelve small jade bottles from the sundries, only the size of a thumb.She carefully put the diluted ones into jade bottles.

It took more than an hour to complete all these, and Qiu Ju didn't ask anything after sorting everything out.Her character and contract made her tight-lipped about the matter in front of her.

Wang Xifeng didn't go back to the main house directly. Apart from her own dowry, she also brought some items for presents when she came here this time.After all, if you come to Xianxun, it will take a lot of time and it may not be satisfactory if you don’t talk about it.She was thinking, waiting for Jia Lian to come back

Jia Lian got on the boat, because the weather in the south was warming up quickly at the beginning of spring.In the bright sunshine, new buds have already been seen on the willow trees on the other side.He went down the river by boat and arrived in Yangzhou in the morning of the second day, but he didn't go to visit right away.During this time, Lin Ruhai was working in the yamen.And even though his journey was short, he was full of travel and dust after all, so it might be inappropriate to just go like this.I chose an inn and rented a small private courtyard to live in.Among the two servants accompanying him, one was Wang Er who was brought over from Beijing, and the other was Wang Xifeng who had just been brought up during the dowry.Called Zuo Er, he and his brother are twins.One left and one right, it sounds very fun.

After resting for a day, Jia Lian changed into a solid-colored silk shirt of water lake blue, tied a cloak made of squirrel leather in a divine blue inner, and brought two servants and two stewards with gifts to knock on Lin Ruhaiyan. The side door of the government office was opened by Lin Qiu, the housekeeper who had received the letter a long time ago. He was an old man of the Lin family.He brought Jia Lian in with two servants and two guards: "Master heard that Young Master Biao is coming today, and he told him not to mind. At this time, the Salt Administration has just started, and there are more things, so Young Master Biao can go inside first." See you madam."

Jia Lian listened to the old man's polite words, and bowed her head again and again: "What the old housekeeper said is that I also thought that my uncle must be busy with business, so I decided to come in through the side door to see my aunt first. By the way, I brought a gift for my eldest sister. "He asked someone to take out a basket covered with red and blue and yellow flowers, indicating that it was a gift.There is a blue basket with yellow and white floral flowers on the side, which seems to be for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Qiu didn't know what this cousin brought, but a few letters in the past year let him know that this cousin was probably going to be with him often in the future.

He took Jia Lian around the corridor of the gallery and entered the inner courtyard through a small moon gate.Because it is a government office, the area of ​​the backyard is not large.In fact, most of the officials who came to serve with their family members would buy the next two yards next to them or simply live here.But when Lin Ruhai took office, his family was small.Counting the front yamen, a total of three courtyards plus the small building behind became his home.He is Qingliu, although his wife has repeatedly said that he will take a concubine and have children for him, after all, after leaving the eldest daughter in the early years, his wife's body really owes a lot.But he still didn't agree. It's not that he has no children, he just has a daughter.Now that his wife is pregnant again, according to Qinggui's agreement, she must not take concubines if she can.If not, after staying for a while, you can adopt a child from the clan, which is considered an inheritance.Therefore, this yard is really a simple family of three.Living is also spacious, not to mention that the husband and wife are singing harmoniously, and the daughter is smart.

Jia Lian walked through a typical Jiangnan courtyard and entered the main room.At this moment, Jia Min was already sitting in the hall, and Jia Lian walked in with a smile and bowed to Jia Min: "Greetings, Aunt... I haven't seen you for many years, and my nephew misses me very much."

Looking at Jia Lian who has grown up, Jia Min felt a sense of kindness spontaneously.She pointed at him with her handkerchief: "Looking at him, he is a green young man. You can tell from the moment you open your mouth that he is still a mischievous one. What did your uncle say... from what your father-in-law said, you are very good at self-education and sobriety. It’s the first name in the new department. If it’s hard to say, it will end up as a first-class scholar. But it looks like it’s still a stubborn one.”

"My aunt reprimanded me!" Jia Lian stood up with a smile, and sat on the guest seat beside Jia Min following Jia Min's eyes.The servant girl quietly brought tea, which was served in a blue and white covered bowl.Jia Min looked at him and looked at the teacup: "This place is not as rich as those in the mansion. Your aunt and I just live in simple food. If you don't like it, you can spend your own money."

"There's nothing to be proud of." Jia Lian picked up the tea bowl, picked up the tea leaves on it, and took a sip: "Where is the serious West Lake Longjing... how rough is that?" Summoned: "Zuo Er, bring over the things you prepared for marrying grandma."

"Hey!" Zuo'er quickly brought over the basket covered with red flower cloth, and placed it on the coffee table between Jia Lian and Jia Min.Jia Lian opened the safflower cloth: "This is some special products of Jinling. I originally wanted to give my aunt some time-honored brands in the capital. But I saw that the jars and bowls were all big. I came here this time to take a look at the house by the way. The place to live is fixed, and I will pick up my daughter-in-law in the future and bring it to my aunt in a big boat. The left and right are just to give my uncle two more altars of good Huiquan."

"What are you doing for him?" Jia Min is a woman with a Jiangnan charm. Although she is tall and pregnant, she looks plump.In her soft voice, there was some Wu Nong emphasizing: "He is a rice wine, and he pours it in just two glasses."

"It's good to try a little bit, but my uncle is also a third-rank official, so I can't eat it." Jia Lian's expression of belief made Jia Min say to the nurse beside him: "Listen, I told the truth, he I don't believe it anymore. Isn't his uncle the master who steps on three cups of rice wine?"

"What three glasses of rice wine?" At this moment, a gentle male voice came from outside, he was still in official uniform.It's just that he didn't wear a crown, and he walked around and looked quite romantic in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.The figure is thin, but one can feel the firmness of the bones.

"I've seen my uncle!" Jia Lian hurriedly got up to salute. Jia Min wanted to get up but Lin Ruhai held her down and sat aside: "Sit down! Brother Yunfei always said that you should come early, I thought it would be the beginning of spring." See you. It’s unimaginable, but you are ambitious. You have passed the test and you’ve got your title.” He said with a smile, and Jia Lian lowered his head shyly at this moment: “Where is it...it’s just a nephew. Tired and lazy, I felt that it was too cold at the beginning, so I waited for the weather to catch up with spring before coming here. I hope my uncle will not blame me."

"I don't know why you are young. You have to take the exam with your wife, and the old people in your family, I am afraid it will be a lot of trouble. But speaking of it, what did your aunts and nephews say about me just now? How do I hear it?" Now, isn't your aunt saying that I'm not?" Lin Ruhai smiled warmly, and even flirted with Jia Min.When Jia Lian looked up, he was very envious.

"Say you're drinking!" Jia Min pointed at the basket: "I brought you the wine from Haohuiquan specially. I said it's a waste to bring you wine. You are the one who wants to find a tampon after three glasses of sweet wine." .Didn’t you make a joke at the Qionglin Banquet when you and I were married? Otherwise, wouldn’t the one sitting here be the princess now?”

What Jia Min was talking about was before her marriage to Lin Ruhai, and the young man Tanhua Lang already had the possibility of becoming the Lord.Even the emperor has this thought.But people were stunned to drink a glass of wine, and an unconscious person came.Without telling a joke, he also gave up the position of the soon-to-be son-in-law.
