In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng marched in Henan and surrounded Kaifeng twice; And Zhang Xianzhong also made a big fuss in Hubei, and Yang Sichang committed suicide; Disasters in various places, Wujiang drought, flying locusts cover the sky; Hong Chengchou was also besieged in Songshan and soon surrendered to the Manchus.

However, the disturbances outside seem to have nothing to do with the current Hanjia Village, although salt and iron continue to rise, but Hanjia Village is still peaceful. Chickens and dogs smell each other, fertile fields are strange, and there are lush forests and bamboos, and green trees are shady. Although the villagers are working with hunger, they all have smiles on their faces.

Although it is a bit drought, because Yang Ming and others have already opened the canal to every field, they do not have to worry about the lack of water when raising seedlings and planting seedlings. A spring flood in March and April also caused no major problems because of the timely response.

Even Xiao Yuan sighed with joy: "If this continues, there will be no hunger within three years." ”

The villagers who followed Yang Ming from exile from Hanzhong and the dozens of women who were rescued at the beginning are now gradually merging.

And because Yang Ming encouraged them to fall in love, many women married the young adults among these villagers, and even Dazhu married a woman from Nanyang, Henan.

However, Yang Ming, the number one person in the village, was still as sullen as before, with a melancholy face. In this way, the maid Yundie was distressed and puzzled, but she didn't care about it, and seemed to know why Yang Ming was at a loss, silent and cold.

In less than three years, Li Zicheng would capture Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, Wu Sangui led the Jianyu into the pass, and then Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor in Sichuan, and the Hongguang regime collapsed in an instant, followed by the ten days of Yangzhou and the three massacres of Jiading......

The world is in danger, although Yang Ming also wants to turn the tide and collapse, but his strength is too small, and an army of only more than 200 people and no weapons is even overstretched, let alone defending against foreign aggression, protecting the territory and the people, and even protecting the safety of a village.

But this does not mean that Yang Ming can use this as an excuse to ignore it, more and more displaced people remind him that this is a troubled era, and no matter how beautiful the home is in the troubled times, it will be difficult to escape the bad luck of being destroyed, and unlike the late Han and Tang dynasties, the chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty is the end of a three-hundred-year retrogression period in history.

Yang Ming couldn't turn a blind eye and listen to it, but he didn't think about it or worry about it.

"The only thing that can change now is this village, and there are still many things to be done at the moment, although the development of production is the focus of this year, military training must still be stepped up, and basic industrial facilities must be established, in addition to the construction of tulou that integrates housing and defense must also be put on the agenda, and the education of children and the literacy of adults must also be carried out urgently."

As soon as he returned to the bamboo house, Yang Ming drew the structure of the tulou according to his memory while planning for tomorrow's affairs.

"Young master, you can rest, things are not in a hurry at this time", Yun Die came over with a cup of tea, and after speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and said busily:

"That's right, young master, only you and me are the only ones in our village, Dr. Lan and Miss Block are literate, but you are so busy that you can't get out of the way, I have to help you remember this and that, and you can't be free, Doctor Lan still has to go into the town to procure and see a doctor, this is a matter of teaching, or let Miss Block come."

Yang Ming has seen Plug Xiaoyuan from afar a few times in the past few months, and he has to admit that Plug Xiaoyuan not only has a heartwarming demeanor, but even her face is unforgettable.

Sometimes, Yang Ming also thought about whether he could try to pursue Xiao Yuan.

After all, in the time-traveling novels I have read before, the protagonists are easy to soak in beautiful women, but Yang Ming, who is also a cross-sectioner, is too busy, and the director has not even had a chance to talk to Xiao Yuan once for several months.

"It's not a good thing to be so troublesome, after all, Miss Block won't stay here forever", although Yang Ming said so, his heart had already flown away.

Yun Die also saw her young master's thoughts, and pushed Yang Ming outside with a smile: "Oh, my young master, you just go, as long as you go and beg her in person, she will definitely agree." ”

What should I say in a while, should I get to the point from the beginning, or should I first bring out the poems of Nalan Xingde and others and pretend to be forced, or should I talk about it and show my own wisdom through my own familiarity with the historical trend of the Ming and Qing dynasties as a traveler?

Yang Ming was struggling with this all the way, and unconsciously arrived in front of Xiaoyuan's house.

"Erya, is Miss Block here?"

Considering that Yun Die had to take care of Yang Ming and help Yang Ming take care of the accounts, and Yun Die was unwilling to hand over Erya to Xu Shuixian, Du Xiaoyuan offered to let her take care of Erya, so as soon as Yang Ming came to Block Xiaoyuan, the first thing he saw was Erya.

"Childe, when are you coming", Er Ya was also very happy to see that Yang Ming was coming, and hurriedly hugged Yang Ming and said: "Sister Xiaoyuan, she and Dr. Lan went to the town, saying that they would come back tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh", Yang Ming couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he had to carry Erya into the house, and saw that Erya was learning to write with Plug Xiaoyuan, so he praised Erya a few words, but at this moment, Yang Ming was attracted by a row of beautiful handwriting, because it read: "**" four words.

"Could it be that Xiao Yuan also knows chemistry? Could it be that she is also a traverser? Or that someone in Daming already knows about it, it's impossible, I'm afraid that no one in Europe knows about this thing now", Yang Ming couldn't help but be very curious, and flipped through it again, but saw that Du Xiaoyuan also wrote a variety of physical and chemical professional words, which made Yang Ming more and more curious about Xiao Yuan.

"Childe, Er Ya misses you, why are you only coming to see Er Ya now", and at this time, Er Ya was coquettish in Yang Ming's arms.

Seeing this, Yang Ming had no choice but to coax Erya: "Erya, isn't Childe here?" ”

"Childe, do you say that my father has really arrived in a place where there is no hunger and no cold?" Erya leaned on Yang Ming's shoulder as she spoke: "But Erya misses Daddy, Son, can you take Erya to him?" ”

"Erya, when you grow up, you can find your father", Yang Ming comforted for a long time, Erya fell asleep, and Yang Ming quietly closed the doors and windows and came out, but as soon as he came out, he was hugged by a person: "Childe! ”

Yang Ming wanted to kick this person away immediately, but the body fragrance emitted by this person told him that this was a woman, and it was also a fragrant woman who took the initiative to throw herself into her arms.

And this woman had already begun to slide on him, and the soft peaks and mountains rubbed back and forth on his chest, making Yang Ming involuntarily confused.

Immediately after, the woman's hand had already touched Yang Ming's underside at some point, and she skillfully stroked the iron rod that was already standing proudly.

Yang Ming choked and unconsciously put his hand on the woman's waist.

"These days, as long as you close your eyes, you are a child, and you are also a son in your dreams, and the slave family is in love with your son! The slave family knows that they are not worthy of the son, and they are not even worthy of being a concubine and a slave for the son, but the slave family still can't help but want to be with the son, the slave family doesn't care what others think, even if it is just the son once, the slave family is content! ”

"Narcissus, you're drunk!"

Yang Ming, who was not willing to indulge arbitrarily, finally forcibly controlled his **, broke free of Xu Shuixian, and ran back in a panic.

Early the next morning, Yang Ming gathered the masons and carpenters in the village, and took out the drawings of the tulou that he had spent a few days figuring out, and explained:

"This is called a round building, which is a kind of tulou, which is a house built with raw soil and wood and stone.

You see, its gates and halls are in the middle, and the two sides are opposite. And there are several rings of concentric round building, the outside is high and the inside is low, there is a building in the building, one ring is linked to another, the middle is separated by a patio, and the two sides are communicated by a corridor, so that it can accommodate the whole village villagers to live together, and can also be very good at defending against the attack of wild beasts and foreign enemies.

Therefore, I decided to use this period of leisure time for you to lead all the people in the village to work together to build this round building, and even if the pass at the entrance of the village is lost, you can still use this defense, you know? ”

After Yang Ming said, everyone fell into deep thought, and after a while, one person spoke: "Yang Gongzi painted this, I have also seen it in Fujian, it is not difficult to build this, but Yang Gongzi, there are some important places that you paint a little unreasonable, for example, this place does not seem to be riveted like this, and the distance between the corridor and the beam is not right." ”

"Yes, don't be surprised, I've only been there once before, and I just drew it based on my impressions, and some roughness is inevitable, so I ask you to correct it," Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Young Master Yang, you don't know, then we don't know", everyone replied with some embarrassment.

Yang Ming stood up with some disappointment when he heard this, thinking that if he couldn't even do this, then if he asked you to fight the tunnel, it would be even worse.

"Isn't this the round village on my Mu's side, it's just that Liangzi is wrongly drawn, and this door and window are also wrongly drawn, so it will fall", at this moment, Xu Shuixian's voice came from behind Yang Ming.
