The Spring Festival of Chongzhen's fifth year is coming. Despite the cold weather and bitter winds, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the excited people to celebrate the festival.

It's been a great year.

The people within a radius of dozens of miles from Chengbu County are all beneficiaries of Zhu Shunming's construction with money. Almost every household has surplus food, you can buy a new dress for your children, you can buy a few pieces of jewelry rouge gouache for your guests, and you can buy a pair of thick and dark longevity materials for the elderly.

Zhu Demon King is a good person.

When talking about Zhu Demon King before, everyone was too scared to speak. Now when talking about Zhu Demon King, it is all in a playful tone, but the gratitude to Zhu Demon King in my heart is buried deep in my heart.

Oh, too, how could the Zhu Demon King be so powerful, how could he allow people to desecrate his reputation? If anyone dared to insult the royal family or the government, they would have been arrested and beheaded.

It's like now, everyone is opening and closing their mouths Zhu Demon King, as if it is Zhu Shunming's nickname.

The town of Jiu'an is also plunged into a sea of bustle.

The structure of Jiu'an Town planned by Zhu Shunming is more reasonable. The spacious and flat Jiu'an Square in the center of the town is ideal for large group events.

As the leading boss of the entertainment industry in Jiu'an Town, Wanxiaolou, together with other entertainment industries, held a charity performance during the Spring Festival at Jiu'an Square.

The girls danced, the clowns with white noses and black faces gag, the heroic Hua Dan sang, and the flower drum play with local accents made people laugh again and again.

Zhu Shunming's family dressed up for a trip. Old Man Zhu and Zhu Shunming said that they were wearing a new cotton jacket, a new hat, and a pair of mille-feuille cotton shoes made by the woman herself.

Women are different, they dress up one by one, carefully carve makeup, and strive to dress themselves up in the best way. A happy life needs to be dressed up and revealed.

Li Cuiwei wore a goose-yellow thick long skirt with long tassels hanging on the skirt, and a corset waist outlining the soft curves unique to women. With a bun on his head, he inserted a step shake with rubies that sparkled in the light. The delicate earrings shake three times in one step, bringing out the delicate face and the blessed large earlobes.

Half a year as a housewife has made a big difference in her temperament. The arrogant and princessy petty character in the past has become tolerant and atmospheric, and the naturally cultivated atmosphere of the superior makes her appear calm, graceful and luxurious. She closely followed Zhu Shunming's pace of expansion and played the role of the housewife.

Ruyu was wearing her favorite pink clothes, some tight clothes made her curvy, concave and convex, and the degree of anger in her figure made many young adults suffer from nosebleeds, making the old man sigh that the world was not ancient, and many women were ashamed of themselves.

Ruyu directly manages the inner house and the factory, and has a little more shrewdness and conciseness, a trace of majesty on her pretty face, and her demeanor is quite modern and white-bone.

Ruyu put down her identity at the moment, like a little girl, visiting around with Zhu Lin'er, buying some gadgets from time to time, and sometimes laughing like silver bells.

It's just that he happened to look at Zhu Shunming's eyes with some resentment, complaining about why he didn't give himself a name. Although he has real power, he is not justified after all.

Zhu Lin'er was dressed up like a little princess. In Jiu'an Town and Chengbu County, she is indeed a little princess.

Zhu Lin'er has a much more cheerful personality, and she is no longer a timid country girl. The sensitive little girl can feel the doting and connivance in the eyes of the eldest brother, and can see the flattery and caution of the people around her, and she naturally knows that she is squeamish. Zhu Lin'er showed the liveliness and naughtiness that a child should have, which made her mother happy and worried - if she continues like this, will she be able to get married?

The little girls who bought on the way south began to bloom with the beauty of youth one by one.

With sufficient food, a stable environment, and not too hard labor, these girls with yellow and thin faces at the beginning are delicate one by one.

My Fair Lady and Gentleman are good, Li Dingguo and other young families look for opportunities to enter and leave the Zhu Mansion from time to time, pretending to meet them by chance.

Old Man Zhu sighed: "I haven't seen such a lively New Year for many years, and it was only during the Wanli period that there was such a scene." How can the days of the Ming Dynasty be worse every year? ”

"Ming'er," Old Man Zhu turned to Zhu Shunming: "You have been married for half a year, why hasn't your daughter-in-law seen the joy yet?" My Zhu family has three generations of single inheritance, and the heirs are the greatest, if it is...... You now have a big family and a big business, and you should take many concubines, sow and harvest widely. ”

"Ruyu has been with you for a few years, there is no credit and hard work, you choose a day and admit her as soon as possible, so that it is not a matter of no name and no points."

"Wu Langzhong is here." Old Man Zhu muttered.

Zhu Shunming also wondered why the two daughters had never conceived, and they didn't take any measures on weekdays. He also likes children.

"Good ......" erupted in applause in the square.

On the big stage, Mulan is performing on behalf of her father in the army. The actress who played Mulan turned over on the horse, jumped up beautifully, sat firmly on the horse, and shook out a spear flower in her hand, winning the applause of everyone.

Jiu'an Town is recruiting workers on a large scale, and many women have walked out of their families and entered factories. With economic income and social status, a woman's confidence is naturally sufficient. A new aesthetic for women is gradually forming in society. is no longer simply the weak and delicate of Yangzhou's thin horse, and the strong, heroic, and capable women have begun to be accepted by men.

Zhu Shunming occasionally thinks of the brainless red lady. Is this simple and stubborn girl doing well in the chaotic north?

The lively New Year until the Lantern Festival has a small climax, and the real fire trees and silver flowers never sleep. Lantern riddles, fireboats, dragon and lion dances, private meetings between young men and women, duet songs...... Bring the New Year's vibe to a climax.

Almost all of the shops have lantern riddles hanging in front of them, and if you guess it, you can take the lantern and receive a gift prepared by the store for free.

Even Wanxiaolou has launched an activity of "guessing lantern riddles for free overnight". The oirans worked hard to come up with a variety of strange lantern riddles, in order to spend a night of talking about feelings and not money.

………………

After the snake girl and her sister Lianrong were imprisoned, no one paid attention to them, except for the daily delivery of food, which was almost forgotten.

When she thought of Zhu Shunming's hard-hearted heart, the snake girl hated it so much. She is such a charming young woman, but she actually destroys flowers with her hands and throws them into such cold water.

What's even more infuriating is that Zhu Shunming can also handle such a woman who is so indisputable and pure as a white lotus. It's really hard-hearted.

Thinking of Zhu Shunming's toughness and ruthlessness, the snake girl had a strange feeling in her heart, in the troubled times, is it safer to follow the tough leader? What's more, he actually knows the secrets of so many black seedlings.

Hearing the bustle outside, the snake girl was suddenly upset. He's not going to imprison his sisters for the rest of his life, is he? Thinking that she would spend her life in a dark and damp prison, the snake girl was so frightened that she cried out, "Someone...... Let me out...... Let me out......"

Sister Lianrong stared at her good-looking big eyes, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Sister, isn't it very good here?" Quiet, safe, eat and drink, no one disturbs. I want to stay here for the rest of my life. ”

"You madman, of course you don't care if you're blind, you don't even care about death, what do you care about?" The snake girl lost control and said, "I'm still young, and I still have a lot of good times, I'm going out...... Woo...... I'm going out ......."

"That Han man won't lock you up for the rest of your life," Lian Rong said softly, "That Han man likes you, or he likes your body." ”

"How do you know? What did you find? The snake girl's face was slightly red.

"You're so coquettish, you like a man." Lian Rong said with a teasing smile: "When that Han man fished you out of the pool, his heart beat faster, the man's breath became heavier, and his breathing was short, so he should have taken a fancy to your body." ”

"Think about it, you're soaking wet, like you're not wearing clothes, how can you hide that vixen's commotion?"

"It's not impossible to give it to him," the snake girl said worriedly: "He knows the secret of the Jade Maiden Gu, and he can't give him Gu, how can he ensure that he won't change his mind in the future?" What if you are old and decrepit in the future, and be abandoned by him? ”

"You seem to like him a little?"

"Where? No. How could I possibly like a Han Chinese. The snake girl flatly denied it.

"I smell your," Lian Rong smiled weirdly: "The smell of a woman in heat is very special, don't you know?" ”

The snake girl was annoyed and angry, and said coquettishly: "Can your nose not be so smart? More intelligent than a dog's nose, no wonder God punishes you and makes you blind. ”

"What's wrong with me liking him? Aren't women supposed to like strong men? He can pick me up with one hand, throw me far away, and conquer me in one fell swoop......"

………………

Mr. Zhu's farm has opened up thousands of acres of wasteland, all of which are near the water source and are good fertile land.

He hired about 100 people to farm. The farm is not a tenant farmer, but a factory-like model of hired labor.

After half a year, not only did he not make any money, but he also suffered a net loss of more than 500 taels. As soon as the account was settled, Old Man Zhu was dumbfounded.

At the beginning, Zhu Shunming planned to meddle in the affairs of the farm, and Mr. Zhu was very unhappy.

"Lao Tzu has been farming for decades, why don't you be stunned? Don't worry about it, Lao Tzu will make a big farm for you to see. ”

The big farm has always been Mr. Zhu's dream. When he was in Shaanxi, he was unable to expand his strength. Now that Huguang has a lot of wasteland, sufficient capital, and a backstage that no one dares to mess with, can you still make a farm?

It backfired.

When the seeds are sown in the summer and harvested in the autumn, the yield per mu is less than one stone.

More than 1,000 stone millet, 2,000 taels of silver. In addition to the salary of the hired workers of 1,500 taels, the tools and tools of the farm are more than 500 taels, the expenses of seeds, food and other expenses are more than 500 taels, and the net loss is more than 500 taels. And that's not even counting the fields.

As soon as Zhu Shunming understood, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Mr. Zhu is always hands-on, looking old-fashioned, and there is no opportunity for technical consultants to intervene.

Mr. Zhu planted rice like wheat, and he didn't even have the steps to take cuttings, so it's no wonder that the yield is not high.

The hired workers who work are diligent and diligent, but the blind command of Old Man Zhu has done a lot of wrong things, and he has been tossed back and forth, and it has been delayed in one season.

"Let professional people do professional things," Zhu Shunming said: "You always follow to see and learn, planting rice is not the same thing as planting wheat." ”

"After the beginning of spring, see me build you a Jiangnan ecological recycling farm."
