Settled in Beitou Village
As the weather changes from hot to cool, the scenery along the way has changed from a golden harvest to a bleak autumn wind sweeping the leaves. After leaving Lizhou City, several people traveled all the way for more than a month, and finally arrived at the destination Beitou Village. Under the leadership of the county officials, Yu Xin finally met her housekeeper Gu Xilai in Beitou Village. He was sent to her by Zhao Mingxuan.
"Steward Gu, this is the owner of your land, and the land here has now been bought by this Yuxin girl. If there is anything, you can discuss it with each other, and while it is still early, I will rush back to the yali first. "Wu Ya, who was sent by Lu County to send Yuxin and his party over, was ready to rush back to the county government to report to the county order while it was still early in the morning, knowing that it would take half an hour to ride a horse this time.
"Brother Liu has worked hard for you, you haven't eaten this meal, you are busy with official business, so you are in a hurry to go back, this is a big brother Liu to buy a glass of wine to drink." Qingfeng sent Liu Yashi out, and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and handed it over. Liu Yashi took it and saw that it was a silver ticket, and then left happily. In my heart, I decided that the messenger who came here in the future must be proactive, and the reward for coming this time was worth a year's worth of silver in the yamen.
"Miss, you are finally here, the house you live in has already been built, and the yard has been cleaned up. As for the rest of the arrangement, it's up to you, Miss. ”
The manor is built by the mountain side water, the forest on the mountain is lush and green, the flowing water under the mountain, gurgling and passing through the village, the mountain villa is about 20 acres, the red wall and tile are reflected in the mountains and rivers and green water. Walking to the gate of the manor, the courtyard wall is made of cement, the wall is more than two meters high, and it is covered with sharp iron thorns. There are two huge stone lions standing on both sides of the courtyard gate, and two big lion-shaped copper rings are nailed to the vermilion tall courtyard gate, which contrasts with the stone lions in front of the door, and is very majestic.
Entering the courtyard is a large courtyard with four entrances, and each courtyard is covered with a small two-story building. There is no moon in the shape of a round arch in each courtyard, and the courtyards are connected by winding corridors, and the roads in the courtyards are paved with large square long stones, and some of the paths are paved with carefully selected cobblestones.
Maybe the yard has just been built, in addition to a few slightly larger plane trees in the courtyard, there are no other plants, into the small building is actually the sofa placed on one side of the hall, the other side is placed a few pots of orchids, into the room on the right is a plate of fire kang, the kang is covered with dark green with gold thread embroidered with moire edge of the kang cloth, the kang table is also painted with moire gold edge, a few plates of fruit snacks are placed on the table. The curtains are also pale green, echoing the kang cloth. Looking at this arrangement, Yu Xin knew that someone had moved Liu's own arrangement here. Seeing this familiar arrangement, I can't help but think of my relatives who are thousands of miles away, and the small building I designed but didn't have the opportunity to live in. I missed them for a long time, and I could only wish them peace and health in my heart. After visiting the construction of the courtyard, Yu Xin asked Gu Xilai to arrange a room close to her courtyard for a few people. Then he instructed the housekeeper to arrange lunch, and after a few people had freshened up, they had lunch together, and then they went back to their rooms to rest, and as for the subordinates who summoned the family and the long-term worker Liu were scheduled to the next day.
Back in her bedroom, Yu Xin asked the two Guo sisters to rest by themselves, and then entered the space. Since the last time I saved the Liu brothers, the space has expanded a lot. I played and exchanged with a few sacred beasts for a while. Yu Xin went to see the horses, sheep and cattle raised in the mountains and forests. There were foals in the herd, lambs in the flock, and calves in the herd. The populations of various animals have expanded to a greater or lesser extent. Then I went to see the fish and shrimp in the pond, and found that the three fish ponds were densely packed, and I walked around in the space for a long time, and went to practice for a while, and after practicing the exercises, I felt that my skills had improved again, and after tossing for a long time, Yu Xin felt that she was a little hungry, so she went to the side of the mountain to catch two sheep, killed the sheep, and drew a cross-shaped knife edge all over the sheep's body, and smeared all kinds of seasonings to marinate for an hour, before putting it on the rack that had been prepared for barbecue, Yu Xin turned the sheep on the grill, While smearing various spices and spices on the sheep again, the mutton coated with spices was roasted for a while, and the fragrance was overflowing, and several holy beasts, smelling the fragrance, circled around the grill, whining. Especially the spots, bright and crystalline, that can really be described as jumping up and down, just like that, it took about two hours to roast, and the two sheep finally got the test, Yu Xin used a knife to cut a large piece of lamb chops on one sheep, and the rest was given to those holy beasts. Yu Xin's move once again bought the hearts of several holy beasts. Look at the sky outside, it is almost dawn, out of the space, back to the bed and lay down for a while. I heard the sound of Guo Yu and Guo Cui getting up.
Breakfast is still eaten by several people, because when she first arrived here, Yuxin didn't talk so much about the rules. For breakfast, we had fried eggs, braised pork, cold salad of small rape, millet porridge and white flour steamed buns. Breakfast was hearty.
After breakfast, you first asked Steward Gu to gather the people at the head of the family and let them introduce themselves. You handed over the affairs of the family to Steward Gu, and then Yuxin asked Steward Gu to send the servants to recruit the foremen who were working in the wasteland.
"I have seen the owner, the little Ke Jingzu, who is the chief manager of this wasteland. I don't know what the owner told me to wait for my return. After the foreman met Yu Xin, the chief steward asked Yu Xin, they were all sent by the master to help the young lady, and the master had carefully explained, and if there was any disobedience, he should be punished as a traitor. So even if they saw a little girl on the main seat, about four years old, they didn't dare to give birth to the slightest contempt.
"So, I would like to ask how the project is progressing?"
"Miss, now there are more than 1,000 people in the wasteland, all of them are prisoners who have been exiled to the local area, and these more than 1,000 people have been divided into ten large middle schools, one hundred groups, and ten people in each group. Led by a small team leader. In addition, there are 500 people scattered around the fish pond to repair water conservancy, and everything is going according to your plan. ”
"I'm relatively young, I'll call you sir in the future, that's right, now that the weather is about to get colder, I'm going to let you go to the back hill, go and cut down some trees, and make the bowl mouth thick, one zhang long, and then build every piece of wasteland into a house the size of an acre of land, just like a house with a dish. Steward Gu, you send someone to find the women in the nearby villages, then they will weave some more straw mats, a one zhang long, two feet wide mat, we will buy it for ten cents each. Then find some nearby villagers and help me build a row of houses on the edge of the wasteland on the side of the mountain, and there must be a wall around the houses, and the style will be according to this drawing I gave you. After speaking, Yu Xin actually took out the drawings from the space from the sleeve pocket and gave them to Gu Xilai. After taking the drawings, Gu Xi came and found someone.
"Mr. Ke, we need to open up a large area now, and we can't be in a hurry this year, you go back and help me ask if there are any good farmers first. If there is any, let these people take care of the wasteland they have opened, and make the bottom fertilizer, and I will plant something. After a while you go back and ask thirty men to set up thirty ox carts and go to the ravine ten miles east of this, and I will send them there with the people who will deliver the things. ”
After giving these orders, Yu Xin let these people disperse, she called Qingfeng and Mingyue again, and the three of them rode to the col on the side of the mountain, Yu Xin asked the two of them to take the wind, and she took the things in the space out.
First of all, I took out ten bags of sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from the space. Cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins... and other types of seeds, one bag each. He drove fifty horses, fifty cows, and a hundred sheep from the space, and finally caught chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits from the space. It took about a quarter of an hour for Yu Xin to take things out of the space before Mr. Ke led a group of people to drive the ox cart to arrive.
Seeing the bustling scene in the valley, Mr. Ke hurriedly ordered the people to move the things, and it took about a quarter of an hour for the group to move them to the ox cart. After that, he led a long line back to the manor. Xu came mostly with a deed of sale, and this qiē was still very smooth, and no one asked about the origin of these things.
"Mr. Ke, you find a place to lock up these chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and other live animals and poultry first, and move these seeds to my yard first, so that you can find a good farmer, and then find the closest place to this yard, and give me the land first, I will raise the seedlings first, and then you can get other fields and cultivate them directly." When Yu Xin arrived at the gate of the manor, she instructed Ke Jingzu, who was walking next to her.
"Miss, these dozens of people who came to pull things today are good at farming, these are those who have signed a deed of sale, and I also let people take those prisoners who are good at farming to the courtyard, and now they are waiting in the outer courtyard, just waiting for your orders." Ke Jingzu bowed down and replied respectfully.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Ke, it's too tiring for the two of you to do everything by yourself every day, so that each of you can find a few more people who have believed in it, and each of you is responsible for a piece, you two only need to be responsible for what I order, and these people under you only need to be responsible for you, you make a book for me with these responsible persons from top to bottom, so that it is easy to manage, and it is convenient for the responsibility to trace down to the individual if something happens, and the reward is the same."
"Miss, we have already made a booklet, but because you didn't come before, although we got the master's instructions, we didn't dare to make a second. A qiē is waiting for you to call the shots. The two replied, and handed over the booklet, Guo Yu also took it and took it, seeing this situation, Yu Xin only said that the person was afraid that the business philosophy of Yipinxuan was moved here, but there are a few people from the royal family who are simple.
"Then Mr. Gu, you go and place these things, let these people live in the outer courtyard, remember that the logistics such as food, clothing, and housing must be done well, don't let them be distracted." Gu Xi came to receive the order and arranged it first.
"Mr. Ke, let's go see those masters of farming first."
Under the guidance of Ke Jingzu, several people came to this group of people.
"This is our owner, you will call her Miss in the future, and you must obey Miss's orders and arrangements." Ke Jingzu said majestically to the group of people below.
"My name is Liu Yuxin, I am your owner, for some of my situation must have Mr. Ke already told you, I won't say more here, what I want to say is, why did you come to this remote area, you yourself know very well, your past qiē, I don't want to investigate, I just want you to work hard to help me for 20 years, every year I also pay you ten taels of silver, 20 years later, as long as you do well I want to find a way to let you return to freedom, this time of working in the manor, If you want to buy your family, I can help you reunite your family, of course, there are prerequisites, that is, you must only be loyal to me during your work, and if you betray me, he will be punished more severely. I'm sure you should know that I have the ability. Okay, now you think about it, if there is something you don't want to do and want to quit, you can leave now. After speaking, Yu Xin sat on the chair brought by the next person, drank the tea sent and waited for a cup of tea. Seeing that no one stood up, some people were still a little excited.
"Okay, since no one is leaving, then you are all willing to stay, then now you are free to form your own team, every group of ten, each group chooses a captain to come out, and the members of each team must obey your captain, but these are only temporary. Now all of you go back to your original station, bring your salutes, and henceforth you will live in a house built on the edge of the nursery outside the farm. ”
"Mr. Ke, you first have someone take them back to pack up their things, and let's go and see the nursery you have made first. Guo Yu, you let the kitchen make lunch ready and send it to the field, and we will eat there. ”
"Yes, master." Guo Yu was ordered to arrange it.
After walking for about ten minutes, a group of several people arrived at the renovated nursery land, only to see that the land had been renovated into a small piece, a small piece of lattice land, and there was a faint smell of earth in the air. There are still a few workers in the field who are tidying up the land. A few people came to see Ke Jingzu and his party coming, and Ke Jingzu introduced them to each other and let them go back to work. I am still quite satisfied with this qiē Yuxin.
After walking around the field, Yu Xin also had a plan in her heart, and everyone had lunch together in the field, and Yu Xin saw that all the people had arrived. In line with the principle of early planting and early harvest, Yuxin immediately decided to devote herself to breeding work in the afternoon.
