Chapter 146: Before Marrying
Recently, Feng Daiwen plans to stay here until he gets married. First, let's find a few different gifts for Guang'an, and second, think about what to do for the people of Datang after marriage.
The people of Taijia Village in Shuofang have all returned to Chang'an, and in the first half of the year, they helped the Ministry of Industry build waterwheels in Henan and Shandong.
In recent months, most of the people have been helping to make the furniture of the princess's mansion, all of which are made of fine wood, which makes everyone work hard to make a perfect work in their hearts, after all, these are some materials that are immortal for thousands of years, and if they are done well, they will be passed down through the ages.
Many of them are done according to Feng Daiwen's habits and requirements, the Eight Immortals Table, the Round Table, and the Desk, all of which are used to sit high, and it is too uncomfortable to sit on your knees. Now in the whole of Chang'an, only the court meeting still adopts kneeling and sitting, and other conditions have repurchased furniture.
The specifications of the princess's mansion are naturally very high, and Li Shimin specially approved the carving of dragons and phoenixes, but it is a three-clawed dragon and a bird, not a phoenix and a five-clawed dragon.
Feng Daiwen asked them to draw skilled people, and the blacksmiths wanted to make a water-powered mill, which used to be manpower and animal power, although they conquered the Eastern Turks, but mules, horses, and cattle were not enough.
Water power can save a lot of livestock, manpower, a water mill, enough for a village, and the flour is more fine.
As for how to make a difference from Guang'an, this made Feng Daiwen scratch his head, gold, silver, jewelry, jewelry, and clothing are the best in the royal family.
"It seems that the only hope is pinned on the glass side, hoping to produce more fine products." Feng Daiwen patted his forehead and said to himself.
"Second Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Yaya saw Feng Daiwen talking to herself there and asked.
Feng Daiwen's eyes lit up and asked, "Yaya, what do you usually like?" ”
"Me! I like the beautiful clothes, the delicious food, and so much jewelry you gave me, Second Young Master! The girl replied with a wink.
"No, I mean, if you're a woman, there's nothing else you like." Feng Daiwen thought for a moment and then asked.
"Except for that! I also like rouge gouache and sachets, but I like to help the second young master do things the most. Yaya thought about it and bit the tips of her fingers and said.
"Yes, yes, that's right, ladies bag, this is a must-have for women! It is easy to make, easy to carry, and there is a cosmetic box with a bag, a glass and a small cosmetic mirror. For a while, Feng Daiwen's attention came out.
The idea was like a spring, and he hurriedly called someone to recruit a craftsman, and there were all kinds of skins in the warehouse, drew a rough figure, and then told the craftsman his requirements.
Handbags, backpacks, satchels, do a few of the same, make every kind of leather, carry it if you like it, and carry it if you like it.
Rouge gouache can't be done, but you can make flavor, flavor is all kinds of petal dry water, distilled out, add stabilizers, it seems that the best stabilizer is ambergris, sandalwood oil, musk, these are a lot.
The more Feng Daiwen thought about it, the more excited he became, and ordered people to collect petals, and there were many flowers in July.
I also found a brewer, a blacksmith, since you want to distill, of course you need a blacksmith, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, you just need to tell them the use, you can make a practical tool.
Distillation is indispensable for wine, you don't need to make alcohol, as long as you increase the degree of ready-made alcohol, which is nothing more than to increase the concentration.
It seems that the essential oil extracted from peppermint can relieve itching and repel mosquitoes? This can't be missing, and quickly another group of people set off to find mint.
Thinking of mosquito repellent, wormwood, realgar, and penny grass are all very good materials, and the incense of the Taoist temple is made by itself, so let the old Taoist people in Qingyun use these mixtures to make it.
As Feng Daiwen ordered one by one, his craftsmen and guards began to be busy, and people kept coming in and out of the villa.
As soon as I inquired in the village, it turned out that the Hou Ye needed these common items, and the empty people all set out to look for them, and when they found them, they put them at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and they didn't need money to leave.
Feng Daiwen was very moved when he heard about it, and asked the guards to go to the village to buy a few pigs to kill and reward everyone.
I haven't eaten killed pork for a long time, Feng Daiwen can't help but be a little greedy, the internal organs, pig's head meat, tail, and hooves let the butcher leave them all, a total of 10 big fat pigs, which is completely enough to eat.
The large intestine is fried, the small intestine is washed and loaded with meat foam, and it is made into sausages, which are just used when they are married, and the estimated number is not enough.
That night, the whole village of people of all ages came, bringing their own dishes and chopsticks, tables and stools, and cooking vegetables, and these women came forward to help, and dozens of tables were set up in the open space outside the villa.
Seeing Feng Daiwen standing there, Li Zheng Zhu Hao came over with two old men, clenched his fists and bent down and said, "On behalf of the whole village, the old man thanked Master Hou for his great kindness. ”
Feng Daiwen hurriedly stepped forward to help the three of them up and said, "Old Zhu, I can't afford you like this." ”
"Yes, yes, when Hou Ye came, he said that he would make the life of the whole village better and better, and now it has only been a year, and the village not only has surplus food, but also builds a school to let the children study for free, I really don't know how to repay Hou Ye." Zhu Hao said with a grin.
"Haha, this is also the harvest of the villagers' hard work, as long as everyone works hard, life will be richer." Feng Daiwen smiled and beckoned the three old men to sit down.
"Good enough! Good enough! Now not only do you have surplus food to eat, but you can also eat a meal of meat every few days, this day is the old man has lived for more than 70 years, and he has never heard of the people there can live such a life. Another old man surnamed Zhu said in a voice with missing front teeth and leaking air.
"It will be better, Zhu Lao, you will gather all the people in the village who do not work tomorrow, build a few fish ponds at the foot of the mountain, plant lotus root in them, and raise the small fish caught in the future. Feng Daiwen saw that the food was not ready, so he first introduced the plan in his heart.
"Yes, yes, Master Hou has a way, you teach everyone to fan the pigs, not only are you willing to eat and grow, but also there is no smell of the smell, and the price is much higher than before, and now the pig breeders are learning to do it." Zhu Hao hurriedly agreed.
"Everyone thinks it's feasible to plant fruit trees in all the mountains, only plant fertile fields in the future, and plant all the back of the house, the fruit trees are easy to take care of, and they will not be worse than planting crops in the future, I still have a few kinds of vegetables, and everyone will also help plant them, tell the villagers, please rest assured, even if you don't plant a grain of food, you won't be hungry." Feng Daiwen commanded.
"Medium! Middle! Do it according to your wishes, Master Hou, with a master like you, how can there be any reason not to worry. Zhu Hao nodded again and again.
"Now everyone has surplus grain, no one eats the bran of those grains now, you can raise more chickens and ducks, tomorrow I will arrange people to purchase boys, build duck farms in fish ponds, chicken farms, large-scale breeding, build a pig farm, and build Zhujiazhuang into Wannian County, and even the largest breeding base in Chang'an." Feng Daiwen saw that more and more people came around to listen to him, so he let go of his voice and introduced to everyone.
"We listen to Master Hou, what do you say we do." The crowd listened to Feng Daiwen's explanation very quietly, and the more they listened, the more excited they became, and the more they felt reasonable.
