Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Modern Garden

Fang Yuan waited for five days in Suzhou Prefecture, and during these five days, Tian Hongyu, a relative of the state who had been exiled to Suzhou Prefecture, came to visit Zhu Cihuan, the king of Wuyue.

Tian Hongyu liked this little emperor and grandson so much that he immediately gave away the largest set of mansions covering an area of 70 acres in the south of Suzhou - Canglang Pavilion, and gave Zhu Cihuan as the palace of King Wuyue.

As for Fang Yuan, the guardian of Tian Guifei's deathbed orphan, Tian Hongyu did not hold a grudge again, but repeatedly thanked him for his kindness in bringing the two princes to Jiangnan, and generously gave away the mansion in Suzhou Commercial Market as Fang Yuan's residence.

Fang Yuan was used to living in a small courtyard house, and he was really not used to living in this kind of mansion, coupled with Zhu Cihuan's repeated requests to live with Fang Yuan and Xiaoyuan, Fang Yuan could only refuse Tian Hongyu's kindness to give him a mansion, and also moved into the Mingdao Hall in the East Garden of Canglang Pavilion to live.

Tian Hongyu could only give another fifty male servants and maidservants to Zhu Cihuan and Fang Yuan as the subordinates of Canglang Pavilion.

Canglang Pavilion, is one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou with the Lion Forest, the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the Lingering Garden, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, was built by the Northern Song Dynasty poet Su Shunqin, and left the famous sentence of 'the green poplars and egrets are self-satisfied, and the near water and distant mountains are all affectionate'.

Afterwards, it was the mansion of Han Shizhong, a famous anti-gold general, and then it was silent and nameless, and it was purchased by Tian Hongyu, and after the garden was rebuilt, it finally regained its former glory.

Canglang Pavilion is named after the landscape, surrounded by green water outside the park, the rockery in the park is lined up, the curved fence corridor, the ancient trees are green, the bamboo and cypress are green, and it is the culmination of the beautiful scenery of Suzhou garden landscape, bamboo and stone.

Fang Yuan followed the green water surrounding the garden, divided the Canglang Pavilion into two courtyards, the outer courtyard re-expanded two large gardens, and the three hundred brocade guards led by his cronie Qin Zhan were stationed to guard the security work of the inner garden; He also set aside a piece of land and built a courtyard, where the seven sisters-in-law lived, and managed the male servants and maids in the house.

The inner courtyard is the main body of Canglang Pavilion, according to the east-west direction, divided into two parts: Wuyue Wangfu and Fangfu, Zhu Cihuan lives in Wuyue Wangfu in Xiyuan, and Fang Principle and Xiaoyuan live in Dongyuan.

This East Garden covers an area of ten acres, bamboo forest, green water, rockery, plum garden everything, standing on the huge rockery, you can also condescendingly glance at the scenery of Suzhou City.

For a few days, Fang Yuan would go to the petition mailbox with Qin Zhan every day to check if there were any complaints from the people, but after waiting for five days, none of the people came to complain, and the huge mailbox was empty.

Fang Yuan absolutely did not believe that the people of Suzhou Mansion did not have the slightest grievance, and the only explanation was that the people in the city did not trust him at all and were unwilling to come to report it with his real name.

Gathering the hearts of the people, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, Fang Yuan is also very helpless about this, and can only look forward to the arrival of the first complaint.

The government affairs could not open the situation for the time being, and Jin Yiwei, who went to Nanjing to check the accounts, did not return, and the cold war with the officials of Suzhou Prefecture continued to consume, so Fang Yuan could only focus on the decoration of his new home.

Fang Yuan was accustomed to modern living conditions, and he was really a little uncomfortable with the days when there was no electricity and no air conditioning in ancient times.

The first thing he planned was to improve the quality of life.

In order to improve the quality of life, it is necessary to introduce 'electricity', which is indispensable in modern society. Thermal power generation is too complicated, and with Fang Yuan's industrial knowledge, there is no need to count on it.

What Fang Yuanneng thought of was the photovoltaic solar unit to generate electricity, and the household electricity should be enough to cope with it.

Fang Yuan took Qin Zhan and fifty brocade guards to carry out route planning in the entire Canglang Pavilion, and if you want to achieve light and no dead ends in the accommodation, latrines, kitchens, corridors, gardens and other areas of each garden, you need to install at least 200 energy-saving light bulbs.

A 12AH battery can provide 3 energy-saving light bulbs for 24 hours of use. For 200 light bulbs, it is conservatively estimated that at least 800 AH batteries are needed.

If you need to install 2 sets of air conditioning and refrigerator equipment in the bedroom, the power output in the entire Canglang Pavilion is at least about 10KW.

Fang Yuan chose a solar photovoltaic panel merchant on Taobao, briefly described the required electricity consumption, and purchased a set of 2000W photovoltaic panel 1500AH battery output 10KW photovoltaic solar kit under the recommendation of the merchant, with a price of about 50,000 yuan.

If this solar unit is running at full capacity, the daily power generation will be more than 200 degrees under normal weather, which is enough for the daily power consumption of the entire Canglang Pavilion.

The solar generator sets are all installed on the glazed tiles of the Dongyuan house, and the batteries and inverters are specially built with rammed earth to build a control room that can shelter from the wind and rain and is ventilated around for storage.

For safety, he also installed sturdy wooden doors in the control room, purchased modern locks, and equipped it with a large fan to cool and dissipate heat.

Fang Yuan bought another 1,000 energy-saving lamps, a large number of switches, wires, and PVC wiring ducts with dark wires, with a total price of 38,000 yuan.

He installed a large number of dark power grids in the inner and outer courtyards of Canglang Pavilion, which connected the electricity generated by the solar units to the whole park, and installed more than 200 energy-saving lamps and light switches, and the lighting equipment was completed.

Due to the hot weather, Fang Yuan also specially installed two air conditioners and two refrigerators in Zhu Cihuan and his bedroom to cool off the heat and stop the heat; In the kitchen, five large freezers are installed for daily food refrigeration and storage.

Due to the limitation of power output, Qin Zhan, Jin Yiwei, and the male servants and maids can no longer install high-power electrical appliances in their rooms, and can only be equipped with a low-power fan in one room.

Fang Yuan knew in his heart that although the low-power fan was not as effective as the air conditioner, it was many times higher than the previous living conditions, and it was already his master's benevolence and duty to be able to do this to Jinyiwei and the people in the mansion.

The problem of electricity is a perfect solution, although the one-time investment is not small, a total of 1 or 20,000 taels of silver.

However, solar energy is a green power generation, and there is basically no extra cost such as candles and oil lamps, which can be regarded as saving a lot in the long run.

Because there are no electricians in this era, Fang Yuan can only spend a lot of time learning the installation video of solar units, as well as the laying of lines and the wiring of switches.

After studying, Fang Yuan mobilized fifty brocade guards, and the male servants and maidservants of the whole garden participated. He personally commanded the Jinyi guard, male servants and maids to install photovoltaic solar units, install batteries and inverters in the utility room, lay dark wires in the whole park, install light bulbs and switches.

Qin Zhan, Xiao Yuan, and Jinyiwei, the servants in the mansion didn't know what Fang Yuan was doing, and they could only do what he was told.

After completing this series of power laying work, a full ten days have passed.

The moment Fang Yuan officially activated the solar power generation system in the utility room, the energy-saving light bulbs in the entire Canglang Pavilion were all lit up, and the whole house was wrapped in a sea of lights, and the various lampshades exuded colorful brilliance, which was particularly dazzling in the night sky.

Where had everyone seen this kind of magical thing that emitted colorful lights, and everyone, including Zhu Cihuan and Qin Zhan, was stunned, and couldn't believe their eyes.

Xiao Yuan was even more surprised and cheered!

Under Zhu Cihuan's repeated curious questions, Fang Yuan could only reluctantly explain that this was a treasure imported from overseas, although Zhu Cihuan and the others were suspicious, but they did not ask any further.

The next day, Fang Yuan specially gathered everyone in the mansion and trained them in the knowledge of safe electricity use, including the use of various air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, fans, and power switches, and strictly ordered no one to enter the control room without his permission.

He spent two full days, teaching everyone how to use all the electrical appliances in the house. After one or two days of solar charging, the air conditioner, refrigerator, freezer and other electrical appliances can finally be used smoothly.

At night, the entire city of Suzhou has entered the silence of the night, and only the Canglang Pavilion in Fangyuan is brightly lit and dazzling.

It's a hot summer day outside the window, and there's a cool breeze in the bedroom.

Fang Yuan lay on the warm quilt on the high bed, hugged the warm fragrant nephrite jade of Xiaoyuan, and reviewed the tax accounts brought by Jinyiwei from Nanjing City.

The only thing that is lacking now is the land intelligence of the Jinyi Wei in Suzhou. This land information is quite important, without this land information, the gentry and wealthy merchants of Suzhou Mansion can bite to death and deny it; If he had this land information, Fang Yuan would be able to justifiably go to the door to collect the underpaid taxes.

At that time, if anyone dares to deny it again, then the edict of Jinyiwei will be served!

But where does this land information go? Qin Zhan had surveyed the scene, and the fire did burn a lot of black material that Jinyiwei had investigated, but he did not find any residue of information about this land.

Was this land information completely burned in the Jinyiwei premises, or was it taken away in advance? Fang Yuan was also difficult to conclude for a while.

He was thinking like a tide, Xiao Yuan snuggled up, and his lips came to his ear, "Childe, let's rest!" ”

Fang Yuan sniffed her charming girlish body fragrance and looked sideways at her flower-like appearance.

Half a year has passed, Xiaoyuan, who is sleeping with Fang Yuan, has lost a little bit of girlish innocence and more mature charm between his eyebrows, and his pink face is full of moving crystals, and the eye waves of Yingying are full of water, which adds to the style.

Fang Yuan looked at his body and unconsciously had a man's reaction, it seemed that the time to taste this sweet little lamb was getting closer and closer, he almost couldn't wait!

Xiao Yuan, who was hugging Fang Yuan, naturally sensed his body's reaction and smiled softly, "Childe is very uncomfortable?" ”

Fang Yuan nodded helplessly.

Xiao Yuan pointed to the cherry mouth and asked tentatively, "Childe, is this okay?" ”

Fang Yuan's hint to her was that she understood that in this warm and comfortable new home, with the warm fragrance of nephrite in her arms, the idea of indulgence in her heart arose spontaneously, and it was naturally a thousand, ten thousand willingness.

Xiao Yuan got his answer, laughed coquettishly, leaned down, and buried his head.
