finally convinced the dealers of their promises, and Yang Huairen and his party were embraced by the dealers into the village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The simple peasant households in Zhuangzi live in adobe houses made of clay blocks, and many of the walls have been worn out by the years and the wind and rain.

On the slope of the southwest side of Zhuangzi is a very conspicuous mansion with a mountain and a river, which was originally the courtyard of the king of Nanyang County, compared to the dilapidated residence of the villagers, but it is a blue brick and blue tile, so it is not magnificent.

Yang Huairen instructed the farmer who guarded the courtyard to settle down first, while he and He Zhiyun visited this elegant courtyard under the guidance of Huang Laohan.

The whole courtyard covers an area of more than 100 acres, in addition to the big house and the chic small courtyard where the residents live, there is a huge back garden in the south of the house. It's the height of summer, and the garden is still blooming with colorful flowers.

There was a flower garden with all kinds of flowers that were particularly bright, Yang Huairen walked in to take a closer look, and found that this was actually a mandala!

This flower is poisonous and used as a narcotic in ancient times, but how can this flower grow so vigorously in the relatively cold north?

He Zhiyun saw the gorgeous blooming mandala, his heart was happy, and he was about to bend down to sniff, Yang Huairen hurriedly grabbed her and quietly told her that this flower was poisonous.

Walking further into the garden, the eyes are cheerful, and a natural pool of more than ten acres is displayed in front of you.

The water of the pool is crystal clear, and there are many tiny bubbles bubbling out of the bottom of the pool five or six feet deep.

Yang Huairen took a closer look and found that this pool was formed by the convergence of spring water flowing from dozens of springs.

Huang Laohan introduced him: "Owner, our Zhuangzi has aura, and the pond water in the back garden of this mansion is formed by the convergence of several hot springs. ”

Yang Huairen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Is there this kind of hot spring in the underground of the entire back mountain?" ”

"There are some, but I'm not sure, in the past, when the county king was here, the farmers were not allowed to dig wells, and the fields under the slope were close to the vortex river, and it was convenient to get water, so there was no need to bother digging wells."

"Great, great!"

Yang Huairen thought for a long time about how to build a vegetable greenhouse along the way, and there was no plastic film in this era, and the winter insulation of vegetables became a problem that needed to be solved urgently.

Originally, he wanted to replace it with good rice paper, but after all, rice paper is still breathable, if you add heating facilities to the greenhouse, the temperature is not easy to master, and the cost is too high.

Now that there is an underground hot spring, Yang Huairen sighed, God really helps me, which is equivalent to the land on the slope with a floor heating system, so the success rate of setting up a vegetable greenhouse has increased a lot.

Looking carefully into the pool, it was another surprise for Yang Huairen!

In the pool, many fat, strangely shaped fish swam freely, some of them had leopard spots, some of them had red fins and black spots, and they picked up a stone under their feet and threw it down, and these beautiful fish were frightened and suddenly bulged up like balloons.

"What kind of fish is this, it's funny."

"Haha, Yun'er, our family has sent it, this warm pool is full of pufferfish!"

He Zhiyun was taken aback, "This is the legendary poisonous pufferfish?" The surname Zhao is really perverted, and he raises some poisonous things. ”

He Zhiyun said this about her father, and Yang Huairen only nodded in agreement.

"Now it's cheaper, although these things are highly toxic, but if they are used well, they are treasures. After a while, I will find a few old people who know the roots of your mountain to take care of these flowers and puffer fish, and you must be clear about not touching poisonous things. ”

After a simple lunch, Huang Laohan led Yang Huairen and more than a dozen representatives of the villagers to the back mountain.

In fact, the back mountain can't be called a mountain, it's more like a big bag raised on the earth.

In ancient times, it may have been formed by the cooling of volcanic rocks left over from volcanic eruptions, and the Zhuangzi below the mountain is a plain with river banks formed by the alluvium of rivers over thousands of years.

The land below the mountain is fertile, and the mountain is indeed barren, except for a few low wild fruit trees, all that remains is rocks and green weeds.

The soil on the hillside is poor and thin, making it unsuitable for growing food, but it is still possible to grow some fruit trees and vegetables.

Below the dry soil is the rock layer, and there is a warm water layer under the rock layer, and the irrigation problem is relatively easy to solve, the only hidden danger is the year of excessive precipitation, a heavy rainstorm, which is easy to form mudslides and landslides.

Yang Huairen shared his plan with the farmers and asked them to provide some advice.

Huang Laohan has cultivated the land all his life, and he has the most say in the reclamation of wasteland on the hillside.

"Owner, this slope looks barren, but it's not that it can't be used. In the past, the farmers wanted to plant some fruit trees on the mountain, but the steward of the county king's mansion said that they were afraid that it would affect the feng shui, so they did not allow them to be planted. ”

Yang Huairen sneered and smiled, this old Zhao still pays attention to feng shui? Aren't you unlucky no matter how particular you are? The son couldn't be born, but he was demoted to the southwest when he was middle-aged, and it seems that the guy who showed his family feng shui was also in vain.

"Uncle Huang, our family doesn't care about this, as long as we can make these thousands of acres of barren mountains productive, we can make the villagers in Zhuangzi live a better life, and plant some fruit trees to maintain the soil, which is a good thing."

Huang Laohan nodded, "The owner is benevolent, and the people in Zhuangzi will be blessed in the future." If you want to plant fruit trees, you should plant peaches and pears, which have developed root systems to strengthen the soil and do not rob fertilizer, so that the owners can grow vegetables in the future without affecting each other.

The land on the slope can be planted with fruit trees, and more than 1,000 acres of land can be reclaimed under the slope to grow vegetables, and the shed you said can be built, and some native chickens can be raised in the fruit forest. ”

"Okay, just do it, I still expect Uncle Huang and the brothers to work hard for these things in the future."

The dealers finally let go of the doubts and worries in their hearts, and their hearts were full of gratitude to Yang Huairen, the new owner, and they also had hope for the days to come.

Standing on a high place, looking down on the whole village, Yang Huairen's eyes are greeted by a field of hope, in the afternoon sun, in the distance is a whirlpool river shining with golden light, new corn and beans are planted on the riverbank waiting to sprout, and the people in the village under the hillside are busy preparing for the reclamation of the barren mountain, their faces are full of longing and joy for the future.

In his heart, he is even more happy, this land, is his dream, he wants to turn this land into a real happy farm, a paradise for the common people, where the future is only hope and joy, without poverty and sorrow.

The peasants of the Great Song Dynasty are a group of ordinary people in the world, they have lived a life facing the loess with their backs to the sky for generations, looking up and praying that God will give them a good year, and looking down at the earth under their feet to give them a good harvest every year.

They are simple and meticulously serve the land under their feet, whether fertile or barren, with their own hard work and sweat, year after year of hard work, to provide the whole nation with food that can be multiplied and endless.
