Chapter 639: The wicker is broken and the flowers are flying
Sanssouci Village is close to Xiongzhou, and it has only been more than three days, Shen Ding and Sun Rong rushed over from Sanssouci Village, and they also brought Gao Yun's letter.
Zhou Nan received the letter, but did not immediately open it to read, but first asked Shen Ding and Sun Rong about the recent situation in the village, Shen Ding answered one by one according to the truth, saying that the weather was warm early this year, and the people in the village were already busy reclaiming the wasteland, and Mr. Zheng had also sent people to send the grain to all households, but this year there were more people in the village, and there were not enough people to do farm work. There were not enough cattle in the stockade, so the owner of the big village lent out the wounded horses and horses in the stockade, and two or three households shared a horse, and the people in the stockade were not idle, and they opened a lot of wasteland.
Zhou Nan knew that the master of the big village that Shen Ding had just said was Gao Yun, and asked strangely, "Where did you open the wasteland?" โ
"The village was the first to start, and now there is no idle land in the village, the owner of the village and Mr. Zheng discussed with them, and opened a large area of mound wasteland to the west in front of the village, from the mound to the south, until the north bank of the river south of the village, and the training ground where the usual rocket firing was also ...... I leveled it too. Shen Ding said embarrassedly.
"It's good to farm there, it's a good river, it's easy to water the landโhow much wasteland have you opened up when you came?" Zhou Nan asked with concern.
"According to Mr. Zheng, there are seven or eight hundred acres, and this is not counting the small pieces of scattered wasteland newly opened up in the village." Shen Ding replied.
"Excellent! If the weather is good and there is no need to pay rent, the food grown is enough for oneself to eat. Zhou Nan said with a smile.
"I heard that the countryside of Yizhou has begun to distribute land according to the capitation, and they also have to pay rent, but the new land opened by the farmers themselves does not need to pay rent, and the state government has sent people down to supervise, and many people here in the Great Song Dynasty have secretly fled over." Speaking of farming, Shen Ding talked excitedly. His own father and his wife are in Sanssouci Village, grain seeds, farm tools are given in the village, the father knows that he is reused under the master of the village, and told him that he wants to work hard for the master of the village, and it is enough for him to have him at home, and his wife can also help to do some work, and the youngest son is sent to Mr. Zheng to study every day. The family has food and clothing, and I don't know how much happier it is than in the Great Song Dynasty!
Sun Rong is the same, "A few days ago, the owner of the village discussed with Mr. Zheng whether to pay rent like the Yizhou state capital under the mountain, but I never thought that a few days later, the state government sent someone to say that the princess of Yanjing City specially decreed that the worry-free village is the private land of the owner of the big village, and there is no need to pay rent to the government, and the people in the village are very happy!" โ
"Yes! If it weren't for the owner of the village to stop them, everyone would have been able to drive the wasteland across the river and drive it to the land of the Song people. Shen Dingle said hehehe, "Also, the lord of Dazhai supervised Guo Xingzu and them, and made a lot of new explosive arrows and rockets, a few days ago the second village lord sent people back to the cottage to blow up the arrows, and the owner of the big village gave some of the new explosive arrows and rockets that were loaded, and took away two magic cars together. There are still three in the cottage, and they are almost ready, but the master of the big village uses people here, so I have to wait until I go back and then install them, and send them to the second village master. "Shen Ding and Sun Rong have been in the cottage for more than half a month, just to make hot air balloons, this batch has made a total of six, gave one to Zhou Nan, gave three to Gao Yuan a few days ago, and two have not had time to install them.
"Send three, plus the original two, as well as explosive arrows and rockets, enough for them." Although Zhou Nan was surprised why Gao Yuan was in a hurry to run back to blow up the arrow, Zhou Nan still said with confidence in the magic car and the bomb arrow.
"This time, the lord of Dazhai called the villain over, I don't know how many carriages to make?" Shen Ding saw that Zhou Nan had finished asking, so he asked what he was going to do this time.
"Make five carriages, two for the emperor and the emperor, the Wensi Academy has brought the size of the carriage and the exterior decoration patterns, the decoration and painting do not need to care, there are craftsmen of the Wensi Academy to do it, you two just according to the size of the carriage, make the bottom plate and the carriage plate, and then the axles, wheels and other parts made by the craftsmen here will be grouped together. As for the other three carriages, they were given away, and the size regulations were naturally smaller than those of the emperor and the emperor, both of which you both understand. Zhou Nan said to the two.
"The regulations in the palace are naturally larger than those outside, and some sizes cannot be taboo, and villains can save them." Shen Ding replied seriously.
"The materials are ready, I don't know how many days it will take?" Zhou Nan was worried about the war in Pingzhou, so he naturally wanted to complete it as soon as possible so that he could return to Pingzhou as soon as possible. As for the matter of selling carriages in Bianjing, we must wait until Emperor Zhao Ji is satisfied, make a free advertisement for his carriage, and then take out three carriages for public sale, so that Cai You and Li Bangyan can "buy" two of them with great fanfare, of course, it is to give them to the two, and it can be regarded as a thank you for selling the carriage for themselves in the future.
The specific things can be left to that Han Cunyi, and I believe that he can spread the carriage. And Cai You needs Han Cunyi's leather goods, so he will naturally help in the matter of the carriage shop.
Shen Ding pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "If there are five cars, it will take at least six days to assemble them, and this still requires those painters to finish decorating the outside of the carriage in advance." โ
"I'll go and tell them this, that you two go and rest, and don't be in a hurry to work, for not a while. Let Xiao Jiu'er take you to the courtyard of the workshop to have a look and arrange a place to live. Zhou Nan instructed the two of them.
"Yes. Small retirements. Shen Ding and Sun Rong agreed and followed Xiao Jiu'er.
Zhou Nan opened Gao Yun's letter and read it. Although the handwriting is a little rusty, it is very upright and beautiful, and you can imagine the cute appearance of Gao Yun writing to him seriously.
The words in the letter are just like Gao Yun usually talking to him, there is no such thing, there is no gorgeous rhetoric, more like Gao Yun himself, naturally carved and decorated, as if standing in front of him and talking to him. In the letter, Zhou Nan was first asked if he was used to eating and sleeping well in Bianjing. Then he talked about the land reclamation, what he was going to plant in the field, and mentioned that Yu Liyan specially ordered someone to order Wuwu Village to be her private land, and she would not have to pay rent and taxes in the future, saying that her sister was in Yanjing, and she was busy with the matter of equalizing the land, taking the imperial examination, and summoning skilled craftsmen to form a supervisor, and if she had time, she would write a letter to greet her. After saying this, he also talked about Gao Yuan sending people back to the cottage to get the bombing arrows, Gao Yuan didn't say in detail, Gao Yun himself vaguely felt that the war was not good, otherwise Gao Yuan would not have sent someone back. In the end, I only said that Zhou Nan should pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes at any time, and don't forget to eat three meals a day. Only in the last line of the letter were two small words: early return.
Raising his eyes and looking out, I don't know when, the poplar trees outside the post house have a trace of tender green, since he led the troops outside, how could he have had leisure to settle down a little? Leave two girls empty to support the world behind them, and they should go back! When they returned this time, they first pacified Pingzhou, and the soldiers took turns to go home and reunite with their families for a few days. The world that is so easy to fight down should also enjoy the joy of family.
Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi don't know what happened? The Jin people attacked Yuguan, I don't know if they were repelled?
