Chapter 47
Several long and wide moats are sparkling, people who enter the city line up to walk across the suspension bridge, the cyan moat wall is like a giant dragon winding into the distance, the tall city gate is engraved with the word "capital", and then the city tower above stands the soldiers with bright armor, a sense of majesty is faintly pressed, which makes people full of awe.
It is worthy of being the capital of a country, and the soldiers guarding the gate stand straighter than elsewhere. Entering the gate, you can see the blue stone pavement, the wide street is full of people, and the shops on both sides can hardly see the adobe houses, all of which are blue brick houses or two- or three-story buildings. Lin Zimo thought, this is probably also a face project! Show the glamorous place to people, so that anyone who enters the capital can open its prosperity.
The advantage of following the Ouyang family's convoy around is that many large state capitals have his family's mansions. The house in the capital is said to have been purchased by Old Lady Ouyang during his tenure. The convoy slowly walked down several streets, stopping in a wide alley that looked like a rich man's residence.
Lin Zimo was helped out of the car by Xiao Yan, and looked up, although the house was half-old, it did not damage its majesty at all. The tall three-story gatehouse, the bright vermilion lacquer gate, staring at the bowl-sized golden door nails, and the two stone lions squatting on both sides of the gate, are more than twice as magnificent as the Ouyang Mansion in the county seat.
The steward of the convoy came over and said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi, how is it?" Majestic, right? Lin Zimo looked back and smiled: "Steward Ouyang, why can't the old house at home be compared to here?" "The stewards of the Ouyang family are generally born to the family, following the master's surnamehttp://.5./books/1/1942/
http://.5./books/1/1942/
Red Mansion Chat Zhai's Immortal Shu in the World. Steward Ouyang said with a smile: "The house here is given to the old lady by the saint today, no matter what, it is not against the system, if the old house of the family is built like this again, someone will sue the old lady." ”
Lin Zimo was arranged in the guest courtyard in front, a three-room house, left and right wings, plus upside down, a typical small courtyard. After all, it was not his own home, and Lin Zimo went out to see the house with Ouyang the next day. As early as last year, the Lin family entrusted the Ouyang family to pay attention to it in the capital, so Ouyang Steward had three better houses in his hands.
After riding in the car for a long time, I listened to the construction of Ouyang Steward, and decided on the Wujin mansion in the rich area of Xinkaili Hutong. The house is also divided into places, such as the place where the Ouyang family is located, most of them are relatively high-level officials or giants, and this place set by Lin Zimo is mostly middle-level officials and relatively wealthy people.
The price of the house is 12,000 taels of silver, which shows the high price of goods in the capital. But Lin Zimo is not strange at all, is it the national capital? From ancient times to the present, it is not easy to live in the capital, and the silver of the family has been in the past few years, but you can't buy too gorgeous houses, after all, my father is only a five-grade official, everything is careful, I don't have a foundation, I don't want to be beaten by others.
The tooth man who accompanied the transfer nodded and said, "I don't know if the son will buy the next person?" It just so happened that Chang Pingbo had committed an accident, and the subordinates of the family had just been auctioned. Lin Zimo took a cool breath: "An uncle, can't even keep his family?" "I've only seen this kind of thing on TV before, and I was really shocked to hear real people and real things.
Steward Ouyang sighed: "It's not easy to be an official, if you have lived in the capital for a long time, you will know that almost every year, the families of officials who commit crimes are auctioned." ”
"Alas! Alas! Alas! "Sigh three times, being an official is really a high-risk industry, in modern times, officials commit crimes just by one person doing things and one person is responsible, and never affects the family, here is good, if you don't come, you will be sold, I don't know if it's a good thing to get this official position for my father?
Speaking of which, the next person still has to buy it, and after the few people in the family come over, they will definitely not be able to distribute it. Another one, accustomed to being in the capital, these subordinates should understand the customs and customs here, which will also help the mother's future management.
Lin Zimo went to the human flesh market to take a look, it was miserable, just like on TV, several people in a group, strung with ropes, standing on a high platform waiting for someone to buy. Blocking his nose and bubbling with a pungent smell, Lin Zimo picked a man in his thirties, looking at Lao Cheng who was said to be the housekeeper of the previous master's house, a very shrewd man, but he was also upright, and he was very kind of Lin Zimo's eyes, as for the future, use it.
Watching the traffickers untie his trapped rope, the steward came over and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master Gongzi, for your appreciation." Lin Zimo nodded, people from the capital family are more able to speak. Waving his hand: "Get up and talk, as long as you work hard in the future, I won't treat you badly, you look around, most of these people are from your original house, right?" In the past, if you pick eight out of ten, even your family is the same. The housekeeper knelt down in tears on the spot: "The old slave Xie Gongzi is very kind, and he should be used as a cow and a horse to repay the son, and the old slave knows which family is honest, so he will pick it up." ”
Lin Zimo nodded, he was a pure idiot for picking people, and he had no knowledge in this area at all, but he firmly believed in a truth, these subordinates were also raised by their parents, and at this time they were also afraid of separation, but as unfree slaves, this was something they couldn't do. If they can be reunited as a family at this time, they will definitely gain gratitude, and knowing gratitude will reap loyalty. There is another one, the family is doing things in the house, there are worries, once there is a temptation from the outside, he has to think more about the family, and the probability of doing bad things will of course drop a lot.
After a while, the steward brought a large group of people, old and young, who came over and knelt down for Lin Zimo together: "Son, these are almost all responsible people." He pointed to a neater woman: "This is the old slave's family, who has been waiting in the inner courtyard, and knows the etiquette of the inner courtyard better." Lin Zimo looked at it and nodded: "I hope you can be loyal to the Lord in the future, I won't say much else, once you find any unqualified, you will sell it immediately." "There's no way, there are many people, and if they don't give grace and power, they can't control these Jingyouzi, and they will be played with in the palm of their hands.
This person named Lin Shou by Lin Zimo became the second housekeeper in the house, and the position of the chief housekeeper was of course reserved for Lin Fu, who had always been loyal to his family. For the time being, all the affairs of the mansion were handed over to Lin Shou, and Lin Shou also took care of it in an orderly manner, and even bought two Zhuangzi that were auctioned off in Bofu under his construction.
Ju Linshou said, the most important thing in the capital is the rich, there are almost no farms near the capital to sell, such as this opportunity, after listening to Lin Shou's words, Lin Zimo took Lin Shou the next day, and as a result, he bought two Zhuangzi, this is the second day of the auction, there are more than 30 Zhuangzi alone, and the people who didn't buy it came behind all shook their heads and sighed, the opportunity is not easyhttp://.5./books/1/1943/

The reborn maiden has a different path!
The newly bought house door is hung with the word Lin Fu, eighty percent of the new house, is a household of the fourth grade official decoration time of the house, because of the sudden supplement of the official release, the hand of the silver does not take advantage of the hand, this is the sale of the house. Lin Shouzao commanded all the subordinates and laid out all the furniture and supplies.
The vermilion gate, the two-storey gatehouse, the stone lions on the left and right, the entrance is a large shadow wall, turn over the blue bricks and gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and the maids shuttle among them, there is a simple charm. In addition to the hall and the outer study, there are also guest courtyards for guests, and seven or eight small courtyards such as the main courtyard and the side courtyard behind.
In the back is a garden of more than ten acres of land, rockeries, flowing water, small pavilions, plus lush evergreen trees, surrounding a small lake of four or five acres, very poetic.
chose an auspicious day, and Lin Zimo moved in. In the small courtyard where he lives, he wrote two words "Ink Garden" in a big book, and he looked at it proudly for a long time.
The family was arranged, and Steward Ouyang bought a few more storefronts for the lead, and after handling them, they had to go elsewhere to run the goods, so they said goodbye to Lin Zimo and left in a hurry.
Inspected the infernal façade, three of which are in the downtown area, two of which are slightly off-the-beaten, and are now rented. Lin Zimo didn't plan to do anything yet, so he didn't come back and continued to renew the lease.
As soon as Ouyang's family left, Lin Zimo's eyes were black, no one recognized him, and he had the heart to visit Prince Jing, but he was stunned. After all, it's not a very good relationship, that is, he has technology that is useful to the imperial court, otherwise people won't take care of his family.
Inspected the farm I just bought again, it is basically good land, and it will enter February immediately, and it will be time to raise seedlings after a while, Lin Zimo wrote a letter to ask Han Qi to go to Linjiazhuang, bring two good farmers, and hand them over to the farmers here to plant sweet potatoes and other crops. It seemed that the vermicelli workshop and the brewing workshop would not start until the second half of the year, and Lin Zimo was idle for a while.
Boredom, there is no appetite for eating, poking the tofu on the plate, suddenly his eyes lit up, he forgot an important thing, the greenhouse vegetables can't be made out for the time being, but there is a soilless planting! Belch! Soilless planting can't get Σ(°△°|||) He can get a soil to plant, although it is a bit of a hassle.
Just do it, some of the houses in the house are empty, make a large place to make a warehouse, recruit more than a dozen carpenters, and urgently order a batch of rectangular wooden boxes that can hold a thin layer of soil, as well as shelves that can stack seven or eight layers of this kind of rectangular wooden box. Mixed soil with plant ash, sprayed with water, planted cabbage and spinach, stacked them on the shelves layer by layer, lit two charcoal pots, and the temperature in the house immediately rose. And mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts don't have to be so troublesome, just soak them in water overnight and then take them out, cover them with a damp cloth, and spray water every day.
He also asked the carpenter to make a few wooden watering cans and spray them every morning, and after three days, a layer of small seedlings appeared densely in the wooden box. The people in the house cheered, and when they were in this green and yellow season, they saw a small green vegetable seedling, which was really eye-catching. Only Xiao Yan and Han Qi, who had already returned, pouted at the people who were shouting, the third young master of his family was much more capable, what was this? Wonder is the daughter of ignorance.
In view of the success of Shiyàn, Zhuangzili also acted urgently. Lin Zimo knew that each village had some adobe bricks in case of emergency, so he mobilized all his manpower and built several rows of low houses with three walls, and the roof and the south wall were vacant. As early as two years ago, Lin Zimo had considered that there was definitely no glass first, and he thought of a thing to make materials for greenhouses, that is, to use the thinnest cotton cloth and brush two layers of tung oil, which can not only transmit light, but also keep warm. This is still when I was in Linjia Village, I saw a piece of cushion under the neighbor's child, and when I asked, I learned that the people in the village all used this method in order for the child not to urinate on the kang.
I'm afraid that the limelight at home in the first two years is too strong, so I haven't tried it, and now I just take this opportunity to see, if it can be successful, this winter can be mass-produced. Of course, if you succeed, you can't monopolize it, his family doesn't have this ability, I'm afraid that it will be swallowed up by others, well, let's find Prince Jing to cooperate! Send him money, and he is willing to come.
The adobe house was well built, and after two days of hard work, even the tung oil cloth was supported with wooden sticks. When the cabbage and spinach in the warehouse at home can be eaten, the vegetables in the simple greenhouse are also densely out of the soil. It's the 10th day of February, and the vegetables are planted normally, and they can only be eaten in April, and these vegetables can be sold for two months.
Finally, there is a reason to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to visit, there is no strong backing in the capital, and no one can play to death in minutes. Loading the wooden box containing the vegetables into the car, Lin Zimo took people to Prince Jing's mansion.
