The son crosses every night

This spring, Zhuangzi has a new owner, and the interior and exterior have also taken on a new look.

He Rui was afraid that Tang Hua would take him down, so he worked extremely hard.

In just one month's time, on the large fertile land outside Zhuangzi, the crops sprouted green and tender seedlings, which grew extremely fast with the slanting wind and drizzle.

Tang Hua learned a piece of Cao Zijian's prose from Chen Sui yesterday, and was reciting silently by the window when there was a light knock on the door outside the house.

"My lord." He Zi said, "Here comes the person who delivered the fry."

Tanghua didn't expect to give the order for a day, and they moved so quickly, immediately put down the book and said with a smile: "I'll take a look."

Tanghua originally planned to adopt the polyculture model, and brought some fish from each water layer. He Zi, He Hua and others were all at a loss, and did not understand what polyculture was.

He Zi said: "The fish sent from outside are just miscellaneous fish. If you want a specific fish, let's pick and choose?"

"What are the miscellaneous fish?"

"Carp, crucian carp, silver carp, grass carp, loach, etc."

Tang Hua was slightly stunned, and nodded: "That's right, that's all."

He Zi said: "My lord, these fish cost three tails for a penny, do you want to suppress the price?"

Tang Hua shook his head, "Forget it, the price can't be lowered much. It's not easy for farmers to raise fish. Go and ask, if we buy [-] fish, can we send some more."

Tang Hua brought He Zi and He Hua to the lake, and the fish delivery man was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, carrying several large buckets.

When he saw Tang Hua, he knelt down and saluted.

Tang Hua called them back, "It's raining and the ground is slippery, don't get your clothes dirty."

They changed their kneeling salute to bowing, and said gratefully: "Thank you, young master."

Tang Hua saw that their knees were teasing slightly, so he had no choice but to turn to look at the fish fry instead of looking at them.

Tang Hua looked into the bucket and asked, "How long have you kept the fry?"

The old farmer replied tremblingly, "Young master, the small fish hatched this spring have been raised for more than half a month."

Tang Hua came closer, and the others hurriedly made way for him.

In the big wooden barrel, these fish are no longer than a sewing needle, and because they are too small, their bodies are somewhat translucent.

The fish is lively, densely packed fish jumping around in the bucket, with a sense of vitality.

Tang Hua asked with great interest, "How many fish are there in this bucket?"

The old farmer hurriedly said: "A bucket of a thousand tails, the villain has counted, there is only more and never less."

Tang Hua raised his eyes and glanced at the dark old farmer. The two farmers behind him were younger, and their faces were similar to his. They should be his sons.The Sannong people are all thin and dark, with a bitterness of being oppressed by life for a long time.

Tang Hua's eyes paused, then he turned back and said, "Pour it into the lake, pour it separately."

"Yes." The old farmer hurriedly took his son, carrying a bucket, and poured the fry into the lake at a distance of about ten meters.

After they finished emptying the fry in the big bucket, they took out another small bucket and poured the fry in the small bucket into it.

Tanghua knew that this was probably the fish fry he had given away, so he asked, "Is there anything special I should pay attention to when raising fish?"

The old farmer didn't expect him to ask, and after a while he recalled it, and said, "Young master, fish are afraid of heat. If the weather is too hot, you can go in and out of the pond to change some water. As for the lake, I don't know much about it."

Tang Hua nodded: "No problem, He Zi, settle the money and send these people back."

The old farmer hurriedly said: "Thank you, young master."

Seeing them carrying buckets back, Tang Hua thought about getting out, so he decided to take a stroll.

The lakeside is full of mulberry trees. The mulberry trees are not densely packed, and one tree is planted every five steps.At this time, after the spring rain, most of the mulberry trees survived.

The mulberry saplings they bought are big mulberry saplings, the trunk of which is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. As soon as they germinate, the crown of the tree is immediately dyed with a layer of green, which is very beautiful.

With sharp eyes, Tang Hua turned his head and asked He Hua, "Look, is there any mulberries on it?"

He Hua walked over to look, and after a while came back with a handful of purple-black mulberries and smiled, "My lord, there are mulberries on it, we'll pick some more later."

Tang Hua nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Come pick again in the evening, pick the purple, black, thick and sweet ones, wash them carefully with well water after picking, put them in a clean basket and put them in my room. I will warm them at night. Eat while reading."

He Hua felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly nodded in response, "Yes."

Tanghua estimated in his heart that there are roughly three thousand mulberry trees here. He is not familiar with farming and mulberry, so he will have to ask how many silkworms he can raise later.

He prefers to give mulberry leaves and silkworms here, let the peasant women raise them, and when the time comes, they will be harvested, and the cocoons will be divided into five or five, and then sent to the skilled peasant women to weave cloth, and then the wages will be calculated separately.

Every year, Zhuangzi sends some female workers to work, and they also raise silkworms. Although the annual production is not much, there is this one in the annual ceremony every year, and the gift list is much more beautiful.

He Rui suddenly heard that they were going to be sent to the field servants, so he hurriedly asked: "My lord, some of them are good at craftsmanship, and some are not. What if the poor one kills our silkworms?"

"The compensation is just that, and I don't ask them to pay too much. It's fine to raise and kill less than a hundred silkworms. If there are more than a hundred silkworms, two-tailed silkworms are worth a copper coin, or they can make up for it quietly." Tang Hua stretched out his hand and pointed, "He Zi , you go with He Zhuangtou, haven’t we already entered all the field servants into the roster? We will make a mark later, how many are raised by each family, and we will see how this family’s craftsmanship is when we harvest, and we will have a count next year.”

"Furthermore, every household who is willing to take the initiative to participate in the affairs of the village will first record a merit point. If there is any good thing next time, we will give priority to finding them."

He Zi responded, "Yes."

He Rui stood beside him, his heart trembling, he originally wanted to ask his relatives to raise more, and the remaining places were used to win over obedient field servants, but now he had to give up all his petty thoughts.

Tanghua doesn't care much about what he thinks, at this time the entire farm servant's deed is in his hands, if there is someone who steals, rapes, cheats, and has ulterior motives, he will sell it, and if it is not good, he can still be sent to the official, compared to last year The situation of hands and feet is already much better.

After Tang Hua finished his orders, he felt a little tired. He signaled He Zi and He Rui to go to work, and called He Hua, "Go to the porcelain kiln and find Gu Zhun, and ask him to come see me at breakfast tomorrow."

"Yes."

Tanghua also made an integration at the porcelain kiln. Gu Zhun was younger, but he was a close friend of Tanghua, and now the whole porcelain kiln was under his control.

Yuan Jin relied on his previous firing of Lang Hongci, but he was a little disobedient at the beginning, and was transferred by Tang Hua to do odd jobs with mud. Within a month, he became honest.

Seeing him like this, the remaining two masters knew what to do and didn't dare to mess around.

The apprentices have been studying for a year, and they have a little bit of foundation. Now they can do something, and they are loyal.Compared with last year's chaos, the porcelain kiln is much better now.

Tanghua planned to let these apprentices do the glass firing after buying the raw materials, and keep the secret recipe tightly covered.

Since Biezhuang came under the name of Tanghua, he has a lot more things to do, and the time he can spend on studying books every day is not as much as before.

When he finished dealing with these during the day, he automatically and consciously prolongs the study time. After dinner, he has to light a candle and read for a while until the light shines on the wall. bed to sleep.

Tang Hua yawned, seeing a faint white light on the wall, he picked up the mulberry that was put aside, knocked lightly on the door, pushed the door open and said, "Sir, I'm here."

"Well, what are you carrying?"

"Some mulberries, I will taste them with my husband."

Ruan Shijie saw that he was offering treasures, and smiled, "Hurry up and change, we're going to eat seafood today."

Tang Hua nodded vigorously, gently placed the basket on Ruan Shijie's desk, and almost ran to the cloakroom.

There were few spring clothes, so he changed them in three minutes, and tied up his hair with a hair tie.

While tying him up, he complained: "Sooner or later, I have to cut some of this hair, it's too long."

Ruan Shijie came over and helped him tie up the hair rope, and said with a light smile, "I have to cut some off, it's almost enough to reach the waist."
