Chapter 50 The Aqueduct Project
The sun shone on Qian Rujun's face again, waking her up, she hadn't slept so deeply for a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion rubbed her eyes www.biquge.info yawned. There was a water tank in the room, Qian Rujun fetched some water, went out the window to wash his face, and suddenly felt refreshed. At this time, Lu'er may have seen her awake and shouted to her:
"Breakfast was ready. Hurry up and eat!"
Yesterday, after a night conversation with the five daughters, the five girls no longer called her master, but by her name. She believes that whether she can be the master or not is not determined by title. And she didn't understand this kind of title with feudal connotations, thinking of the positioning of the fifth daughter, she decided to change this state from yesterday.
If it weren't for the important five daughters, they would need to take so much trouble teaching them to read.
Now, the fifth daughter has been able to read some simple articles, but unfortunately Qian Rujun did not buy bamboo slips back this time. There's no way to get them some reading. She decided that although there was no way to ask for the secret method of making paper from the e-paper book, she remembered that there were several kinds of leaves that could be written, and in fact, these leaves could be borrowed for enlightenment, and the seeds she got back this time had the seeds of this kind of tree. Unfortunately, planting trees is too slow, but if you look around, you may be able to find out. In addition to leaves, there is also bark. However, the time spent on using bark is about the same as that of bamboo.
Qian Rujun remembers that birch bark, agarwood bark, and palm leaves are all suitable for writing, in fact, in addition to this kind of leaves, she can also do experiments to find out suitable for writing, and the leaves are flat and large. As for the bark, it is still laborious, Qian Rujun's idea is that it is better to make paper directly.
When she returned from the county seat, she decided to buy some brushes and began to teach her five girls to write, and began to teach them arithmetic.
"It's so late? I haven't prepared the feed for those animals! By the way, let's not leave after eating today, we are going to start a new irrigation project, and when it is done, you won't have to water so hard?"
"But isn't that kind of water enough?
"What do you think I'm going to do when I buy back so many ginseng? Isn't that just going to make more of that water? “
"That's really good news. I'm going to tell them, then we won't wait for you, let's eat first, I'll help you keep the food." Lu'er said excitedly.
"Go, go, eat into a pig!" Qian Rujun said with a smile. The verbal attitude is not like a seven-year-old girl at all, but like a big sister.
"Don't become a pig, a pig is so dirty. Midori grimaced, grinned and went in. Yesterday, she got the first place in the progress of learning calligraphy, which made her proud to this day, and the excitement has not yet passed! Although the five girls get along harmoniously, comparisons are inevitable. They have nothing to compare with, but they are more energetic in their studies. Qian Rujun likes to hear about this.
Qian Rujun went into the house to prepare materials, divided into the grass eaten by sheep and cows, and the omnivorous food that pigs loved, but Qian Rujun didn't like pigs to eat meat, so let them eat a little more fruit, which was considered to supplement nutrition. Surprisingly, these pigs ate fruits, not only did they not have a fishy smell, but also had a fruity aroma, which made people very appetizing when they saw it, and even Gu Jun, who despised pigs very much, was looking forward to slaughtering a pig to eat.
However, there are only seven of them, plus Bo Qing and Bo Yang, eight people can't eat a pig at all, and there is no refrigerator in this era, so the more pork may have to be made into bacon and stored. However, that would require a lot of salt, but salt is precious!
In addition to sheep, cattle and pigs, there were chickens, ducks and geese, but they had already eaten the insects in the field, and Qian Rujun had stopped preparing for them.
Now Qian Rujun looked through the window, and he could see that a chicken and a goose had a big battle in order to grab a bug, and the bugs had already seen that the situation was wrong and took the opportunity to leave.
"What a stupid chicken, stupid goose!"
Qian Rujun took a sip.
In the morning, the idea of preparing was unexpectedly fast, in the past, Qian Rujun had to spend half an hour every day, and now he has more livestock, but it will not take more than a moment to prepare.
Pushing out the forage and fruits, Qian Rujun went into the dining hall to eat.
The dining hall is not in a house made of blue bricks, but a shed built by Qian Rujun out of straw, as long as it does not rain heavily, it is cooler to eat in it, and if it rains heavily, everyone has to take it back to the room to eat. However, since the crossing, Qian Rujun has not seen heavy rain, at most some drizzle, which makes Qian Rujun, who is used to seeing tropical afternoon thundershowers, a little unaccustomed. It feels like the days are too dull without the storm.
In the middle of eating, Qian Rujun loves to talk very much, and most of what she says is today's work plan, as for what she eats and doesn't speak, she is not used to it at all. Eating is the best time to exchange feelings, as for the poor stomach, just eat more delicious stomach food to nourish it!
For Qian Rujun's canal plan, the five daughters all sounded bitter, although their work would be easier in the future, but with the experience they had gained in the Bo family, they would be moved to work elsewhere if they were relaxed. It is only the "adults" who are relaxed, and they have no influence at all on these little people.
And these canals are real projects, they have to sweat a lot to do it, and they have to wash their clothes one more time, which means that they have to go out naked, who calls Bo Qing a man here, if they are all women, it doesn't matter.
Qian Rujun is indeed not ready to let them relax, in addition to the extra livestock, she is also ready to let the five girls devote more to learning, only if they understand knowledge, can they accept more things from her in the future. The most important thing is that she doesn't have to drool so much every time.
After talking about the project, everyone dispersed. Qian Rujun also had to instruct how to carry out the project, but before that, she stopped Gu Jun, who was going to go back to the Wang family's field to work, and sent Wang Xin's food by the way. Hearing Qian Rujun call him, he listened and asked:
"What's the matter with you? I tell you, don't give Lu'er too much work! I think she's so tired. “
"You think you're going to feel sorry for someone! It's okay, who will call you!" Qian Rujun pouted. It seems that men are always protective of the women they love, which is unreasonable. The amount of work of the five women is actually about the same.
However, when Qian Rujun said that she was willing to help the Wang family make the same improvement on the land, Gu Jun's face became bitter...... This means that he is very happy...... Why do some people have the opposite expression?
"But we don't sell the things of that field to the Bo family, but sell them to the county seat. Qian Rujun said. That field was planted with food crops, mainly corn and the like. That's a high-quality field. There is a lot of tax to be paid every year.
"Why? Isn't that a good price not available?" Gu Jun was a little dissatisfied when he heard this.
