"Sister Mingzhu, I want to open up a few vegetable plots under the hillside, plant some radish gourds, and some loofahs or something near the wall. If possible, some edamame, mung beans, and red beans, these things are good for people. Especially when the edamame is tender, it tastes great. ”

I decided that I wanted to stay here for a long time, maybe a year or two, three or four years, or even longer. Lin Zhu decided to grow vegetables. This radish and even beans or something do not pick the soil, the hillside should be on the line, the front and back of Hu Dadong's house under the mountain, are not tall trees on the hillside, Hu Dadong's house has mined some wasteland, next door to his house, layer by layer like terraces, plant some wheat and corn or something, I heard that the harvest is not very good, but there is always there.

She saw that there were still many barren slopes to be used, and with a little repair, they would be very smooth. In addition to being crisp and delicious in summer and autumn, radish is also a good vegetable for pickles in winter. Shumo said that he brought over forty or fifty children of former ministers and former ministers, all of whom were sixteen, seventeen, and early twenties, and the amount of food eaten by so many people should be very large.

She didn't know why Shumo really brought such a person here, and she took a little effort to buy all the surrounding mountains, she thought it should be all because she wanted to build a mountain villa, this was just her casual talk, and she didn't really plan to, even if she really planned, she didn't need to do it in this time of crisis.

She suddenly stirred, did Shumo want to bring these elites of the former dynasty here, train them or install them here.

In this way, wouldn't it involve the uncle's family again?

She looked at her uncle's family working in the field in the distance with a complicated expression, and Lin Yun'er had more than a dozen people.

Sima Mingzhu looked at her with curiosity and disdain: "I said Sister Zhu'er, why are you thinking about growing vegetables." It seems that this rat son can make holes at all. Didn't tell you everything, let the subordinates do the rough and heavy work, you just have to give orders. ”

Lin Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Mingzhu, there is no way, I am the life of this toil." Idle is also idle, planting some vegetables is good to move the muscles and bones, otherwise every day after eating, sleeping and eating, people will become lazy. ”

If Shumo really intends to place a group of elites here, the problem of eating so many people should be a big problem. You can't buy it every once in a while with fanfare or sneakiness.

So he said that he would let people help his uncle farm the land. And the land hundreds of miles away around it has the surname Jin.

Of course, the gold in front is Jin Zhen, and the gold in the back is Jin Xiaoguang.

Sima Mingzhu smiled and said, "Hehehe, I want to see what the plant can grow, and whether it can grow vegetables like Yanfu Vegetable Garden." ”

After speaking, he stared at Lin Zhu with a glance at the upper and lower eyes, and the left and right eyes.

She loved it here. It's a lot more liberal than the Imperial Palace. Nobody cared about her. There is no need to follow those rules in the morning and dusk. But it's been too long. The joy of coming here for the first time gradually dissipated, and I felt that this mountain was far away, and there was less royal momentum and noise. It's a bit too deserted. Especially the sky and the earth are wide, and their two houses add up to more than 30 people, and the houses are vast and have few people, and they seem to be sparsely populated.

This is a lot of loss for the dignified princess who is accustomed to worship and speaks arrogantly everywhere.

The most uncomfortable thing is facing the people who eat in the field of Hu Dadong's family every day, and the more I look at it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. What those people wear on their bodies is still called clothes, they are just sacks, and the hair on their heads is just felt pieces, and their shoes are covered with mud and have open mouths.

How much worse than a beggar, as well as a few children of Hu Dadong's family, their snot is about to flow into their mouths, and they are a little disgusting to look at.

So even looking at the forest trees is a little uncomfortable. And the more I look at it, the more uncomfortable I feel, thinking that she will soon become like that, and it will be faster if she grows vegetables.

Lin Zhu pointed to a sunny hillside and said, "It takes time to grow those vegetables in my garden." Not this year or next year. You think that the cabbage needs roots, leeks and daylilies all need roots, but other vegetables should still be in time these days, but this land has not yet been prepared. I want to sprinkle some rapeseed around the yard first, enough for us to eat, as for the better ones, see if my uncle's family has any seedlings, transplant a little bit, if not, we have to take our time. ”

At this time, she didn't want to bother her parents.

It's best to have nothing to do with them. So many varieties can not be brought over, but fortunately when she came, she had a little more heart, and on the night she went to the vegetable garden, she begged for a little rapeseed with her father, and they were wrapped in paper and stuffed into a small jar and brought over.

These days, the ground is tied, and some rapeseed is sprinkled first. Raise some vegetable seedlings.

As soon as she said it, she found a few older maids and a few mother-in-law level people in a square circle, and instructed them to dig the ground, turn over the ground, and level the ground.

Fang Yuan Fangcun has not done these jobs, the maids and mothers-in-law have come from Dingyuan, they have already lived and worked in peace and contentment in the area of the three forks, many of them are farming for a living, and they are familiar with this kind of thing, and the circle around the yard will be sorted out when they talk and laugh.

It looks like a lot.

"You have worked hard, slaughter a few chickens at night to comfort you."

The yard was fed with more than a dozen chickens caught from Hu Dadong's house, that was last year Hu Dadong felt that there was too much grain and a lot of bran, Sima Mingzhu's status was so noble that he often ate some meat, so he hatched some chicks when the hen was covering the nest, there were dozens of them, and caught seven or eight piglets, which were raised in a simple yard next to the mountain house to store farm tools and raise cattle and donkeys. After Lin Zhu came, he felt that more than a dozen people had leftovers every day, but it was a pity, so he changed a simple chicken coop and a simple pigsty in the backyard, caught more than a dozen chickens, and raised two little pigs.

There are many people, and life is hard, and food is very expensive. The little grain grown by Hu Dadong's family was enough for their family to eat, and the slight surplus was not used, so it was stored in his family's grain hoard. The food eaten was all transported by Young Master Jin Xi, and it could only be transported secretly, and now there are more than a dozen people she brought. Food is a bit tight.

The chicken is eaten with raw eggs, and this meat is very important.

So a few days ago, the prey that Fang Yuan shot was eaten up without salt and seasoning.

I heard that there is meat to eat. The maids and mothers-in-law were very energetic, and after tidying up the land, they went to the yard to fetch well water and water the ground.

In the evening, Meimei ate a meal of chicken stewed radish. After drinking too much chicken soup and having enough milk, the little ingots slept happily with the milk bag in his mouth. Lin Shu also closed his eyes and lay beside the child.

Now the situation is getting more and more complicated, thinking that when she first came, she was just a child adopted by a very unpopular vegetable grower, and she wanted to grow vegetables to make a fortune, take her father and mother to live a good life, and then find a good family to marry, and live a good life in peace.

I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Her brother-in-law, her son, and son are all rebels now, and her children, and her brother's children are all rebels. For the sake of the child, for the sake of many people, she must accept this reality. And live well. 、

Now the vegetable garden can't go back to Proton Mansion and can't go back, so I can only stay here and live a good life. No matter what the outcome is in the future, you have to live the present first.

And we must not let the little ingots and little golden boy be implicated a little.

Shumo is back in the evening. Or knock on the window in the middle of the night.

He sat on a chair and drank herbal tea as he entered. His eyes were bloody. It looks like it's been a long time since I've had a good rest.

She asked in a low voice, "Brother Yun." Is there anything important about this visit? ”

Shumo said: "Zhu'er, I came here this time to transport a batch of grain, which is the stock grain of Yanfu Pastoral Farm. The number is very large, some of them have already been placed in the place of Yunhai Manor that you have chosen, and these are placed here for you, and there are more than 30 people in you and Sima Mingzhu, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to eat for a year or two. Now the grain is being loaded into the granary in the backyard. Zhu'er, Young Master Baoxi asked me to bring you the letter from Bao, as well as the eldest brother's. ”

Shumo drank water, ate a few pieces of snacks, and briefly explained the current situation.

He is transferring over and over again those masters who were hidden in the Tiantian Ladder Canyon before Dingyuan, dozens of henchmen have left in the purchased fields, they are all loyal and reliable people, basically masters of dragging their families, they are now cultivating the fields as tenant farmers of the Golden Mansion, and they have spread all over the flat hills, which can be said to be thousands of miles away.

That is to say, the Hujiapotou, where Lin Zhu is now, and the land on the opposite side of the mountain that the eye can see, are all surrounded by people who protect the seal Jin Xiaoguang, that is, their own people. They have protected this place very well. If something really happens, if people outside want to offend, they will have to work hard,

She lowered her head and said, "Brother Yun, it's a shame that you think so thoughtfully. ”

Shumo said: "It's not that your eldest brother Yun thinks thoughtfully, but the eldest brother and young master Bao think so." They also asked me to hand over a few land deeds to you, that is, the house where you lived with Miss Mingzhu, as well as your uncle, and the land that Master Baoxi bought during this time. If you take care of it, these lands should add up to thousands of acres, as well as a few mountains. ”

"Keep them all for me? Then I won't be a big landlord. ”

I have lived for two lives, and I have never had a land of my own, so much at once. Her mind was reminded of the old landlords of the exploiting class.

Shumo said: "Yes, the eldest brother and the two young masters are handed over to you for safekeeping, the eldest brother said, the main task of the people brought these days is to protect the safety of Zhu'er and Miss Mingzhu, the two little sons, if the operation fails at that time, the people and horses here will not move, and Zhu'er will live like this in the future." If it is successful, it can be deployed. ”

What does that mean? Lin Shu quickly combed it out. That is, these individuals are actually equipped for her and Sima Mingzhu, just in case, it is also a good strategy for both. If the action to overthrow the southern kingdom of Qin fails, the people and horses here will not move, she is the owner of these lands, and these individuals are her hired farmers. If the action is successful in the future, they can play a role.

She turned around and took out some homemade steamed bread slices from the cabinet, that is, put more seasonings when steaming the steamed bread, then dried them and put them away to make snacks.

said: "Brother Yun, you eat some of these, the dim sum is too sweet and I have an upset stomach." And a bit of bacon. ”

This piece of bacon was cooked by her only today on her orders, it tasted great, and there was a chicken leg, which was specially left for her by Granny Jiang that she was breastfeeding, and the little ingots were getting older day by day, and they needed to increase nutrition.

Shumo may be really hungry and hungry. Pick it up and eat it, it's sweet and fragrant.

Lin Zhu felt uncomfortable.

If the emperor's father and son were not so pressing, Jin Xiaoguang would not have been rebellious, and his brother would not have been struggling to find a way to survive, and he would not have appeared in such a situation.

If it weren't for this, how could the guards with knives and the generals be so sneaky and smearing, so bad at eating and sleeping.

How could my brother work so hard day and night, how could Jin Xiaoguang not be able to go back to his home, and his son couldn't see it.

Shumo finished eating silently, stood up with dry eyelids and said, "Zhu'er, mine is gone." ”

Gone so tired?

Lin Zhu then got up and asked, "Brother Yun, where are you during the day?" ”

Shumo said: "Just take a look at the place you choose, and wait until the evening to go back to Dingyuan to have a look." These days, I am watching the grain loading in Yanfu Pastoral Farm, there is too much grain, it takes several days, and it has to be transported in various forms. lest they be discovered and suspected by the people of the government. ”

In various forms, Lin Zhu can imagine that it is pretending to be a funeral caravan or something.

For days, that means he hasn't slept in days.

She hurriedly asked, "Brother Yun, haven't you slept for a few days?" Is there a place to sleep in the mountains and forests? ”

Shumo easily found the layer of rocks according to the simple map she had drawn, and correspondingly found the place where the sea of clouds depicted by Lin Shu had dispersed. But that place is a mountain forest, and there are already so many people building manors, how to sleep during the day.

Shumo said: "How can I have time to sleep, help oversee the work." ”

After speaking, he was about to step out of the threshold, but when he turned around, he saw a black in front of him, and he fell headlong.

Fortunately, when he landed, he was a little conscious and held on to the door frame, so as not to fall to the ground.

Frightened, Lin Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to help him stand up slowly.

Shumo was already dazed, almost unsteady.

Tired! Must be tired!

Shumo only felt cold sweat all over his body, his feet were fluttering, his eyes were black, and he had no strength at all.

He stiffened his grip and said, "Zhu'er, I'm fine, just sit down for a while." ”

After staying in the two large granaries of Yanfu for five or six days, he arranged for five teams of grain trucks to come to Hujiapo overnight. The situation was so special that he had to escort him personally every night and then rush back. I was so busy that I barely had time to fill my stomach.

As he spoke, his body was not strong at all, and before he reached the chair, he was already limp and about to fall.

It's so hard!

Shumo's body was tall and he didn't need strength, Lin Zhu helped him and felt that he was about to be pressed down, she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to help him to the side of the bed little by little, and moved her head and feet to the bed little by little, and took off her boots.

It stinks, it can smoke people to death.

She covered her mouth and put the boots that hadn't been down for a few days outside the window. I poured a basin of water and washed his feet. Then he straightened his body and slept with the little ingot, and she lay on the table by herself. (To be continued.) )
