readx;
When I asked the shopkeeper, sure enough, there was a Ma Zhou who lived in this inn, and asked the store guy to take it to find it, Ma Zhou still lived in the Chase shop where he lived last time, but unfortunately he went out early in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zuo Shaoyang looked at the head, it was almost noon, and the surname Suo was sitting in the inn waiting.
Now I really waited, and after a while, Ma Zhou came back dejected.
Zuo Shaoyang got up and arched his hand and said, "Brother Ma! ”
Ma Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Brother Zuo! What are you doing here? ”
Zuo Shaoyang's face was flat: "Your words don't count, you said that you came to me in the capital, but obviously you have been here for so many days, but you just don't come to me, if I didn't go to the Ministry today and want to write you a letter of 400 miles urgently, I don't know that you have resigned!" ”
Ma Zhou's face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "I'm ashamed, the foolish brother is incompetent, and I am ashamed of my expectations for Brother Zuo, so ......, by the way, what are you sending me four hundred miles to expedite?" What's the matter? ”
Zuo Shaoyang said: "There is one thing, let's find a restaurant, talk while eating and drinking, and it can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for you, and at the same time discuss this matter with you, how about it?" ”
Ma Zhou immediately agreed, and the two of them left the inn, took a carriage to Dongshi, found a small restaurant, found a private room by the window and sat down, ordered a few plates of exquisite side dishes, and scalded a pot of wine. Eat and drink and talk.
After a few glasses of wine, Ma Zhou asked Zuo Shaoyang what urgency he was looking for, and he had to use four hundred miles to expedite it.
Zuo Shaoyang told him about it, and he didn't say anything about it because there were many people who couldn't say it for outsiders, but he mainly said that he was asked to be his deputy, mainly responsible for the affairs of the foundation, and also said the purpose and purpose of the foundation.
Ma Zhou was very excited when he heard this: "Brother Zuo, you will give me 300,000 yuan of property to manage, can you rest assured?" ”
"If I had not believed you, I would not have sought you. Since you have the talent to govern the country, it should be more than enough to help me manage this foundation. ”
can control 300,000 yuan of property and use it to open a pharmacy for disaster relief, which is greater than the wealth and power of a thorn history, Ma Zhou rubbed his hands excitedly: "Don't worry, I will do it properly for you." ”
Zuo Shaoyang was also very happy, and the two of them talked about the future planning of the foundation while drinking. This Ma Zhou is really a management wizard, and he is the head of the way, although he doesn't understand medical skills, he knows a lot about the situation in the country, and he can't only drop his schoolbag like ordinary nerds.
After eating, Zuo Shaoyang immediately took Ma Zhou to Du Yan's mansion. Ma Zhou was declared his plenipotentiary representative, responsible for the transfer of property and the preparation of the foundation. Du Yan naturally didn't say a word, and agreed very happily.
Zuo Shaoyang wrote another urgent letter and sent it to his brother-in-law Hou Pu in Hezhou, asking him to go to Beijing to help him manage the foundation.
With Ma Zhou, Zuo Shaoyang suddenly felt much more relaxed, this hand-shaking shopkeeper was very comfortable, and then said that Du Yan's condition was getting better day by day, maybe the money was not too important to him, so he was very cooperative, and soon transferred all the properties on these lists to Zuo Shaoyang's name.
After a dozen days, Hou Pu and his sister Fennel came, and they also lived in Sun Simiao's house temporarily, Zuo Shaoyang felt that this was not good, Peng Bing knew that Zuo Shaoyang was the person of the eldest princess of Yongjia, and he was more humble to him than before, and he said again and again that the place behind the house was bought by himself and given to Zuo Shaoyang, and it had nothing to do with Du Yan, it was to thank Zuo Shaoyang for saving his life, and he must ask Zuo Shaoyang to accept it.
Now a large family is not good at living in Sun Simiao's house, and the Zuo family is also used to living there, so Zuo Shaoyang discussed with Du Yan and paid to buy the house.
Du Yan said that this mansion was originally given to Du Wenhao to thank him for saving his life, and after Zuo Shaoyang moved away, the mansion remained untouched, just move back. Zuo Shaoyang disagreed, he didn't want to owe Du Yan anything, and at Zuo Shaoyang's insistence, he bought the house for 400 yuan at the market price.
Zuo Shaoyang didn't have so much money, so he took another ginseng and sold it to Shopkeeper Bao, so he scraped together enough money to buy this house.
He had a total of four hundred-year-old ginseng trees, one of which was spent during the war, and the other two were sold to buy this house and the house behind it were demolished to make a medicine shop, and only one was left, which was kept for medicinal purposes.
At this time, a large piece of the back has been completely renovated by Peng Bing, and the new piece was bought by Peng Bing for Zuo Shaoyang, he is commensurate with Zuo Shaoyang's brother, and Zuo Shaoyang saved his life and kept his official hat, he was very grateful, and bought this large piece for Zuo Shaoyang as a medicine garden, Zuo Shaoyang still has a good impression of Peng Bing, and he really needs this medicine garden, so he accepted it.
Because of the large amount of work required to dig the pond, it took two months to complete the entire project.
More than two months later, it was already early summer, Zuo Shaoyang took his three daughters, accompanied by Peng Bing and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, to accept the medicinal herb garden project.
A small door was opened in the back wall of the house, and when you entered through the small door, there was a large open field on which all the stones and waste had been cleared and plowed over. The bricks and timber of the demolished houses are neatly stacked in a large, purpose-built warehouse with rounded corners. In the future, it will be no longer necessary to buy bricks and tiles for the construction of houses.
More than a dozen trees scattered throughout the courtyard have also been covered with green leaves, and the peach blossoms of the peach trees have also bloomed. Weeping willows flutter in the wind.
The walls are all made of green bricks, nearly two zhang high, and are very strong. The whole medicine garden covers a very wide area, according to Zuo Shaoyang's design, divided into several large blocks, one part is a greenhouse, used to plant the medicinal materials of the south, the other part is sandy soil, used to plant the medicinal materials grown on the sandy soil, and part of the hillside, this hillside is piled up with the soil of digging an artificial lake, and it is planted with tall trees, which is mainly for those medicinal materials that like shade and dryness. There is also a man-made lake near the river.
The man-made lake is the size of a football field, and its source is a few wells in the lower springs. The amount of water is still very large, the spring water gushing out of the underground spring is quiet and cool, and the drainage ditch that flows out is hidden in the ground and drained into the Qujiang River, so as not to destroy the integrity of the garden, because the water is alive, not only cool, but also does not stink.
There is a corridor on the top of the artificial lake, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there is an arched bridge on each side of the pavilion to facilitate the passage of boats on both sides.
In addition to listening to the rain, the main purpose of this water pool is to plant and cultivate some aquatic medicinal materials, such as Ze Yuan.
On the side near Zuo Shaoyang's house, a large vacant land was set aside for him to expand his residence in the future. Originally, Peng Bing also wanted to build this house for him, but Zuo Shaoyang resolutely refused, saying that if that happened, he wouldn't even want a medicine garden in the backyard. Peng Bing had no choice but to give up.
The irrigation and drainage system of the entire medicine garden is very perfect, and the planting land of each medicine garden can be taken care of. It saves a lot of trouble for watering and irrigation, and it is not afraid of heavy rain.
After reading the entire medicine garden, Zuo Shaoyang was very satisfied, and said to Peng Bing: "Thank you, brother, this medicine garden can help me a lot." You can grow a lot of new drugs that you need. ”
Peng Bing smiled: "This is also my wish, it is nothing to help my brother with this little favor." ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled at Miao Peilan and said, "How is it?" How do you feel? ”
Zuo Shaoyang originally bought the bungalow at the back and demolished it to plant medicinal herbs, the purpose was to find something to do for Miao Peilan, so as not to make her idle all day long, because she was illiterate, and she was not good at female celebrities, and her favorite thing was the farm work in the field, if there was no medicine garden, I really didn't know what to find for him to do.
Miao Peilan has been looking at this large piece of land with joy, and when she heard Zuo Shaoyang ask him, she said happily: "It's really good, such a big piece of land can grow a lot of medicinal materials." ”
"You don't need to plant too much, you just need to concentrate on planting a few new locally produced medicinal herbs, and I'll tell you what to plant. Of course, I haven't planted these medicinal herbs, and I don't know how to grow them, so let's learn to grow them. ”
"What do you do with the vacant land? You can grow flowers, vegetables, melons and fruits, you can plant whatever you like. ”
"Great, Sister Bai, you can be in this kind of flower and plant!"
Bai Zhihan smiled and nodded, and was very happy in his heart: "We have to plan how to plant it." Mainly planting medicinal materials, and planting flowers, plants, vegetables, melons and fruits in the gaps. Otherwise, it would be a pity to spend so much money to buy this land and only use it to grow flowers and plants. ”
Qiao Qiao'er said: "It is exactly these words, mainly planting medicinal materials that Xianggong needs. ”
The group came to the top of the hill. This hill is close to the river, there are hundreds of meters high, higher than the surrounding bosses, a two-story wooden building was built on the top of the mountain, the second floor is open, the floor-to-ceiling doors and windows on all sides can be removed, and it is a pavilion when it is demolished in summer.
Standing on the railing of the attic, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire garden and the courtyard below. You can even see the majestic and glorious golden dome of the palace in the distance. Looking out from the railing, the secluded Qujiang River flows slowly. There are also flower boats with oars on the waves, and you can even faintly hear the melodious singing of the boat lady. Looking inside, the artificially excavated pond is just below the attic, and the water is so clear that even the river sand used to filter still water laid at the bottom of the pond can be vividly remembered. A few weeping willows were transplanted on the edge of the pond, reflecting on the pond water, and the silhouette was very pleasant.
Qiao Qiao'er said happily: "It's very good here, in the future, we can set up a table here, play chess and chat and watch the scenery." ”
Miao Peilan said: "I have to plant some plantains, sycamores, bamboos and something downstairs." The young master likes it. ”
Zuo Shaoyang saw that she actually thought of planting these, naturally because she liked it. smiled: "No need to plant, we already have it at the back of the study, and some willows by the pond can be fine." If it is also planted here, there are plantain sycamores everywhere, and it will be greasy. ”
Miao Peilan was a little embarrassed to lower her head, Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly stopped her little man's waist and diverted the topic: "This garden will be handed over to you, such a big garden, I'm afraid that some of you are tired, not too tired, just plant and play slowly." ”
Miao Peilan nodded, looking at this large garden with excited eyes, thinking about how to cultivate medicinal herbs.
