Chapter 2 Difficult things for difficult people

After the main house was built, spring arrived.

At this rate, it will take another year or two to reach the appearance that Zhang Yuan expected.

I am afraid that Zhang Yuan's family did not follow the ideas of His Majesty the Great Emperor, and from the day the ice and snow melted, this young man named Chu Da stayed in Zhang's Mansion and did not leave, in the eyes of others in the mansion, it was actually a food in Zhang's Mansion.

"Doctor Chu, even if I have a hundred heads, it's not enough for Your Majesty to cut it, but these seeds are less than 3,000 acres of land."

Zhang Yuan kept half of the beet and watermelon seeds, and the rest had been scattered on the five hundred acres of fields in front of Zhang's mansion, leaving enough space for each seed to grow.

For the remaining 2,500 acres, Zhang Yuan wanted to plant some soybeans and wheat, so he had an argument with this Shaofu Cheng, whose title was in line with Zhang Yuan.

"Your Majesty said that these 3,000 acres of land can only grow sugar beets and watermelon seeds."

People who are good at flexibility have been strange in later generations, even if there are strict laws, there are all kinds of people who are testing places that the law has not touched, but now, Liu Che's words made Shaofu Cheng, who was used to eating in Zhang's mansion on weekdays, put on a stinky face.

"Then these two thousand five hundred acres of land are so vacant?"

Chu Da still put on a stinky face and said affirmatively.

"Accumulate soil strength, and plant beets and watermelons with more seeds next year."

Zhang Yuan was in a hurry, grabbed a handful of soybean seeds and scattered them directly in the ground, he also wanted to test Chu Da's bottom line.

After doing so, Chu Da turned his head to look at the fields that had been planted with beets and watermelons.

"Spread all these seeds evenly in the ground, and leave them alone."

The bottom line was tested, and Zhang Yuan didn't want to continue to delay time.

"Is the head of the house doing this? In case Shaofu Cheng reports to His Majesty, His Majesty blames it? ”

Anything that involves the emperor is not a trivial matter, Lao Zhao would not have asked Zhang Yuan in front of so many people before, and now for the sake of the life of the whole family, I still hope that Zhang Yuan can give himself an explanation.

In a hurry, Zhang Yuan kicked at Lao Zhao.

"It is the will of God that the seeds that are thrown away in the ground at will can grow, and the will of God is the will of Your Majesty, anyway, these seeds are not needed, it is better to scatter them in the ground, and there may be some harvest in late autumn."

From the edge of the water to the three thousand acres of fields have been dug ditches, now the snow has just melted, there is no shortage of water in the field, these ditches are blocked, and after a while the horizontal wheel with a wooden fan can be installed on the edge of the water, when irrigation is needed, the source of the ditch will be dredged, if there is no need to plug it.

The saved manpower can raise some chickens and pigs, and by the way, continue to improve the big mansion on which it depends.

"Now that Dr. Zhang has finished sowing, I still have some other official duties, so I won't bother more."

Looking at the figure of this Shaofu Cheng Yuan, Zhang Yuan knew that everything that happened today would be placed on Liu Che's table, but the trouble also passed.

The emperor also has the same place as ordinary people, as long as he gives him enough face, he will not delve into those things that are actually beneficial to him.

Those who can come to Shanglin Yuan to look for Zhang Yuan, except for Wei Qing, can only be Tian Wei, and the rest of the people include Gongsun Ao, Zhang Yuan didn't think he would come out of nowhere.

In front of him, Sima Xiangru was standing at the gate of Zhang's mansion with one person and one horse, which still surprised Zhang Yuan.

After Lao Zhao passed the word, Zhang Yuan asked him to lead Sima Xiangru into the mansion.

"If Sima Langguan doesn't serve by His Majesty's side, how can he have time to come to this rural place."

Sima Xiangru smiled and bowed to the west, Zhang Yuan knew that Liu Che was hunting in the west, but he still didn't know why Sima Xiangru came.

"Doctor Zhang, Changqing is here for nothing else, but when I passed through Lantian County, I heard that there is a hostess in Zhang's mansion, please introduce me."

As soon as he came up, he asked the ladies in the family, but he didn't give Zhang Yuan any face.

"Zhang Mansion is the head of my family, there is no hostess from outsiders, if Sima Langguan comes for this matter, I'm afraid it will disappoint you."

Knowing that Sima Xiangru was visiting, Zhuo Wenjun had already entered the main building, and he didn't want to meet Sima Xiangru to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble.

"The head of the Linqiong Zhuo family also asked someone to hand me a letter some time ago, saying that I had time to look for the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family, saying that I had not seen him for a few years, it is difficult for the eldest daughter to completely break off the previous relationship between father and daughter, if Dr. Zhang knows the traces of the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family or meets by chance in the future, please bring this sentence to her."

In Yanglingyi before, Zhuo Wenjun disposed of the blacksmith shop to Zhuo's shop, but after all, it still caused trouble.

"If I can meet the eldest daughter, I will definitely tell her word for word."

Although Zhang Yuan has no official position, but fortunately he has a knighthood, Sima Xiangru thought about it and still did not impulsively enter the main building behind Zhang Yuan, bowed to Zhang Yuan and then brushed his sleeves and left, which made Zhang Yuan suddenly a little confused.

"He's gone?"

"Well, he's gone."

"I heard all of that just now."

"Then do you want to go back to Shu County?"

"I want to go back and see my father."

"In two years, Sima Xiangru will be sent by His Majesty to Shu County to be an official, if he embarrasses your Zhuo family, it will not be easy to do." 5200

"Don't worry, the Zhuo family has been inherited for hundreds of years, although it has not been discussed, but it is not oppressed."

After Sima Xiangru left, Zhuo Wenjun came down from the main building and said these brainless words to Zhang Yuan, although he mentioned going home, he seemed to want Zhang Yuan to keep her.

I didn't ask Zhang Yuan what the reason why Sima Xiangru was going to Shu County to be an official in a few years.

When Tian Wei and Zhuang Zhu were arguing about whether to use troops against Dongyue in the court, Zhang Yuan was still a Lang official, so he naturally knew it clearly, Liu Che had long wanted to take this remnant of the Qin Dynasty first, and try to see if the armor soldiers of the Han Dynasty were still brave, but now that the Empress Dowager Dou is controlling everything to death, these things can only be postponed.

Zhuo Wenjun left from Zhang's mansion the next day, there are Zhuo's shops in Lantian County, Zhang Yuan doesn't have to worry about her safety at all, but after Zhuo Wenjun left, Zhang Yuan suddenly had more things to worry about.

"The head of the family, Fang Laohan's daughter is getting married, and she wants to ask for some red cloth to make a wedding dress."

The one gold and one silver in the family, Lao Zhao handled it very carefully, and there was no reason or Zhang Yuan's consent, and he couldn't take out a copper coin from Xiaoqing.

"Don't you have monthly money, can't you just take him to Lantian County to buy it, you still have to ask me about this?"

Zhang Yuan is very anxious now, after Zhuo Wenjun left, Lao Zhao had to run to his ear to ramble over and over again, which family's big-bellied woman was going to give birth to a lottery head, or whose chicken ran to someone else's house to, and these troubles couldn't be dealt with every day.

"Isn't that enough, so I thought I would ask if you could withdraw some earlier."

Suddenly thinking that in recent days, the period gate army has been haunting more frequently in Shanglin Yuan, Zhang Yuan suddenly relented and changed his mind.

"Let's see if Xiaoqing has anything there, if there are two days, don't go out."

"Uh-huh, Howler."

has been suppressed for a long time, and Liu Che can only vent his energy that he has nowhere to release through hunting, but fortunately, the Qimen army knows that the products of the 3,000 acres of land in front of Zhang Fu are specially planted for Liu Che, so no one dares to trample on the fields at will.

"Head of the family, Wang Laohan is sick and lying on the bed, do you want to send him to Lantian County for diagnosis and treatment."

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to scold Lao Zhao, who was always annoying him for trivial things, but when he heard that someone was sick, he immediately got up and followed Lao Zhao.

In Dahan, medicine does not kill diseases, why is a doctor a cheap job? It's because there are so many diseases that can kill people, it's better to hire a doctor than to find some witches to jump off the god.

The twenty tenants who moved back to Zhangfu basically did not have young adults, most of them were old men in their thirties, leading their own wives and daughters-in-law, and a few grandchildren.

These young grandfathers in their thirties, their bodies have long been dragged down by perennial labor, they eat less and work harder, and basically have no nutritional intake.

The houses had not yet been built, and the people were still living in the thatched huts that had survived from the past.

"My head is very hot, it's a fever."

Fever is just a symptom, not a disease, and Zhang Yuan doesn't know what kind of illness Wang Laohan has.

Wang Laohan's mother-in-law has long since died, leaving only a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, ancient filial piety is the greatest, Wang Laohan felt hot and asked his daughter-in-law to take away the quilt.

"Quickly take two quilts and cover him, and get some boiling water and some salt for him to drink."

Looking at the bowl of cold water on the table in front of him, Zhang Yuan felt terrible.

It is really a miracle that the body is hot and does not cover the quilt and then drinks these waters, which are estimated to be directly received from the ditch outside, and can resist and not die.

Wang Laohan's daughter-in-law hurriedly covered his father-in-law with a quilt, and then immediately ran out to boil water.

"Lao Zhao, you all drink the water in the ditch directly on weekdays?"

Since Linqiong was in Zhuo's mansion, Zhang Yuan's daily drinking water was also sent by his subordinates, and it was not until today that he realized that he had been ignoring these most insignificant things that could slowly take people's lives.

"The villains are naturally casual, these waters are very clean and not turbid, there is nothing to drink directly, as for the head of the family, the water you drink is obtained from the springs on Lantian Mountain every day."

Lao Zhao said this, which made Zhang Yuan feel a little more at ease.

"In the future, everyone in the house must drink boiling water, if one person is caught drinking raw water, Lao Zhao, you will take him to Lantian County and erase him from our family's household registration."

Such good living conditions in Zhangfu could not be found in Dahan at all, and these tenants had long since lost the intention of moving out at the beginning, and only thought that they could stay here for the rest of their lives, and letting them leave was the most serious punishment.

Zhang Yuan's tone was very serious, Lao Zhao looked at Wang Laohan, who was already in a semi-comatose state on the bed, and was afraid for a while, and asked Zhang Yuan.

"Head of the family, do you mean Wang Laohan, he got sick because he drank raw water?"

stepped forward and touched Wang Laohan's forehead, feeling that Wang Laohan was already sweating because of the two quilts on his body, and the tension in Zhang Yuan's heart was also relieved.

"Not sure, but I can tell you that if you want to live until the day your grandson is born, don't drink raw water from now on."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuan left, whether Wang Laohan can survive depends on this night, I don't know how many medicinal materials are in his hands, and Zhang Yuan can only do this.

And Lao Zhao stood in place, holding his fingers and counting what Zhang Yuan had just said.

It took at least a quarter of an hour for him to realize that when his three-year-old son was sixteen years old, it would take another year to have a child, and that would be fourteen years later.

Combined with his current age, he was almost fifty years old at that time.

Then the corners of his mouth opened and he smirked.

"Hehe, I'll live to be fifty."
