Chapter Seventy-Five: The First Village of the Tang Dynasty (I)
On a piece of land at the foot of the mountain in the west of Chang'an City, many figures are working hard...
Tao Ran gladly accepted the five thousand acres of fertile land of His Majesty Li Er...
These lands can undoubtedly play the greatest role in his hands, so Tao Ran specially asked the big housekeeper Ma Zhou to recruit hundreds of laborers to do farm work...
Tao Ran requires that he must be a strong and honest farmer...
As soon as these people heard that the farm laborers of Chang'an Hou were in charge of three meals a day, and that they had a penny of wages to be paid every day, they all rushed to sign up...
It's not to do any heavy work, it's nothing more than to make a living waiting for the dealer's land...
These are not at all a problem to the peasants who have been begging for a living in the soil for generations...
Tao Ran allowed the family to enter the village, and his wife and children could work in the field with the same three meals a day, half a copper plate, and the same treatment as adults after they were skilled...
For this reason, Tao Ran specially invested in the west side of the farm, under the feet to build a few rows of neat houses...
As soon as these people heard that it was a private house built for themselves, they worked even harder and more carefully...
Ma Zhou's housekeeper took the drawings drawn by Tao Ran and explained them in detail...
Every critical moment must be carefully inspected...
At the beginning, the Hou Ye confessed that the foundation here was unstable...
So it took about ten days for hundreds of people to tamp the foundation...
Because it is backed by the foot of the mountain, in order to prevent mudslides and landslides in the future... Although there is a very small chance of such a natural disaster in Chang'an City...
But Tao Ran felt that it was necessary to take precautions...
Tao Ran asked Ma Zhou's housekeeper to organize them to carry large stones, forming a tall and solid fence, until Tao Ran checked and was relieved...
The construction of the farmhouse has just begun...
Today is the day of the capping, thinking that tomorrow you can move into a new house to live, the family is very excited and excited...
There is a pond of about ten acres less than 100 meters away from the house, and Tao Ran looks at this pond like a baby...
In his eyes, this is undoubtedly a very good natural fish pond...
The pond formed by the spring water from the mountain and the rainwater flowing from the rain is definitely an excellent place for natural fish farming...
Now it has been put in by the big housekeeper Ma Zhou, according to Tao Ran's instructions, tens of thousands of fish fry...
Tao Ran rode a rhubarb horse...
Rhubarb enjoys the feeling of running with Tao Ran, coupled with the rare tacit understanding between Tao Ran and Rhubarb...
Rhubarb has become an alternative element in the entire Chang'an City that does not need to wear Ma Zhuang...
"Steward Ma, the progress is very fast... Well done..." Tao Ran opened his mouth and praised.
"It's too dark tonight, and before I made sure that all the rooms were capped and completed... Next, please ask Hou Ye to instruct... The big housekeeper Ma Zhou said with a smile.
"After the capping, let the guys live in it tonight, it's hard enough to sleep in the open for so many days, and tomorrow the hard housekeeper arranges for them to start loosening the soil and weeding, and the seeds will sprout immediately... You have to hurry up and plant it, and you can harvest it when the cold dew comes..." Tao Ran said seriously.
"By the way, I asked Chu Liang and Ma Fang to send it over for dinner, and prepared a pot of wine for you, you've worked hard these days..." After Tao Ran finished speaking, he rode away with Rhubarb...
"The big butler, the master is really a good person..." Zhang Ming came over and spoke.
Zhang Ming is a one Chinese New Year's Eve-year-old who has studied private school for several years today, has a few taels of ink in his stomach, and is also very kind, and has a high prestige among these 100 laborers...
So Ma Zhou appointed Zhang Ming as the foreman among them...
After all, some things are still familiar with each other and easy to manage, according to the instructions of the Hou Ye, the foreman has two copper plates a day, which is an excellent treatment...
So Zhang Ming is very attentive and very hard...
He took his wife and children over, and when he was capped at night, he could be assigned to a single room with his wife and children...
Thinking about this, Zhang Ming felt a beautiful panic in his heart...
The thatched house in my hometown has been surrounded by four walls, and it is the Hou Yefu that has given me the opportunity to re-plan my life, so that my wife and children can fill my stomach at the same time, and occasionally I can eat a few pieces of meat...
His Majesty Li Er has been like a victorious rooster recently, walking with his head up and his chest up... A look of showing off his might...
No way, who made him feel so happy lately...
The Nine Emperors were born smoothly, the potatoes planted by the Marquis of Chang'an were successful, the leader of Yi Nan accepted the Tang Dynasty's division of his khan, and the Western Turkic incident also had good news.
The envoy sent by Ye Hu has already followed General Wei Chi on the way back to Chang'an...
One happy event after another came, so that His Majesty Li Er could wake up laughing at night in his dreams...
Under the care of the eldest girl and Miss Wen'er, the eldest grandson queen recovered very well...
Princess Changle also often comes over to cook with the eldest girl and Wen'er to cook for the queen mother, of course, the main thing is to learn some stir-fry and stew skills from the eldest girl...
Today, Princess Changle learned to make hand-rolled noodles, not to mention how happy the little princess is...
Princess Changle personally brought the first bowl of hand-rolled noodles she made to the queen mother...
"Queen mother, try the hand-rolled noodles made by Erchen himself for the queen mother..." Princess Changle said with her big beautiful eyes.
The eldest grandson queen picked one and put it in her mouth, and her tears fell down as she ate it...
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Is it because Erchen's cooking is not delicious? "Princess Changle was originally looking forward to the praise of the queen mother...
I never thought that I would look up and see the tears of the queen mother, and I suddenly panicked...
Seeing Changle look at a loss... Empress Eldest Sun burst out laughing...
"Liqin, the queen mother is happy, the queen mother is really happy, there is a little princess who knows that she feels sorry for the queen mother..." Empress Eldest Sun said emotionally.
"Is that little princess distressed by the queen mother? Why is no one distressed by my father? His Majesty Li Er walked in laughing.
"The son asks his father to say goodbye..." Princess Changle said to His Majesty Li Er.
"I just heard your mother say that you know that you feel sorry for her, tell your father what's going on..." His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile.
"Erchen learned to make hand-rolled noodles today, and specially made a bowl for the queen mother..." Princess Changle replied with her big beautiful eyes.
"Erlang, come and try the hand-rolled noodles made by our beauty, the taste is really good..."
"Okay, I'll try our princess's craft..." After speaking, His Majesty Li Er picked up one with chopsticks and tasted it carefully...
