Chapter 4 Greenhouses

Eight hectares of land, placed in the Song Dynasty, no matter for that family, it was a rich man, and suddenly harvested such a large amount of wealth in Bianjing Zhao Mansion, the people of the whole house fell into ecstasy, and after the ecstasy, the number of people in the house decreased rapidly, because Tian Lan, the eldest lady of Zhao Mansion, took several other ladies, sat in a four-wheeled carriage specially made by Zhao Mansion, traveled collectively, and went to Xifu Manor to inspect the industry.

Zhao Lei extorted the Xue family manor, close to the cement avenue that has just been built, this covers an area of 18 hectares, 1,800 acres of manor, with nearly 200 farmers, the town of the manor is fifteen miles east of the West Auxiliary City, in addition to the farmers who rely on the manor fields for a living, there are two small workshops and several shops in the town, the population is about 2,000 people, there is the Qinghe River meandering in the south of the town, so it is named Qinghe Town.

Zhao Lei, dressed in a yellow autumn coat, was waiting at the entrance of the cement road in the center of Qinghe Town, and in the distance, a huge convoy of hundreds of people from the Zhao Mansion was already in Zhao Lei's sight.

Tian Lan led her son Zhao Yu and daughter Zhao Jin out of the carriage, and behind her, Bai Xinlan and Zhao Lei's second son Zhao, Xiaocui and Zhao Lei's eldest son Zhao Feng all followed and got out of the carriage.

"Official!" "Father!"

Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan and other hostesses of the Zhao Mansion and the little masters, when they saw Zhao Lei waiting at the entrance of the town, they all came over to pay their respects.

After Zhao Lei made love with a few children, he pulled Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan and Xiaocui and said to an old man beside him: "Come!" Let me introduce to you, this is Liu Lao, the elder of Qinghe Town, Liu Lao is a respected elder of Qinghe, and the affairs of Qinghe are generally handled by Liu Lao. ”

The population of Qinghe Town is only 2,000, and the law of the Great Song Dynasty stipulates that the population of 10,000 is the establishment of the county seat. Only then can the court officials live in, and a small town like Qinghe, not to mention the court officials, even the officials can't see one, once there is a big thing, it will be reported to Xifu, and the small things are naturally handled by the respected old people in the town, and Liu Lao passed the township test, has a meritorious name and reincarnation, plus the generation and age are placed there, so the person in charge of the land in Qinghe Town is Liu Lao. And Zhao Lei, a member of the imperial court, came to Qinghe Town, and Liu Lao, the principal of Qinghe Town, naturally came out to accompany him.

After Liu Lao greeted several hostesses of the Zhao Mansion, he led a group of people towards the town.

Qinghe Town is about three miles long and narrow from east to west, the buildings of the whole town are built around the former official road, the current cement road, on both sides of the cement road, there are about hundreds of various houses, the planning is not neat, but the whole town gives people a feeling of being very relaxed. Very relaxing.

Walking all the way along the town, the cement road of three miles is only ten minutes away. Zhao Lei and the others quickly finished watching the construction of the town, and at this time, Tian Lan suddenly had something wrong.

"Why is the town full of old people, women and children, and the young and strong have all gone there." Tian Lan looked at the old and young people in every household with a hint of awe, and asked Liu Lao beside him suspiciously.

When Liu Lao heard Tian Lan's words, he smiled and replied to Zhao Lei: "This is thanks to Lord Zhao, usually after the autumn harvest every year, the people in the town have nothing to do, and they can't make much money by doing odd jobs in the workshop, and it's not easy to find a job." Lord Zhao repaired this cement road, and recruited a lot of workers at once, and the young people in the town went to Xifu to repair the road, and they had money and food. The people in the town are very grateful to Lord Zhao for this opportunity. ”

"Road construction is a major event for the imperial court, and it is a matter of contributing to the country, how can you wronged the villagers." Zhao Lei said to Liu Lao with a smile.

Liu Lao looked at the young Zhao Lei. Thinking of Zhao Lei's words today, he hesitated for a while and asked, "Lord Zhao wants to start a Zhuangzi in the town?" ”

"Not bad! When the official bought the Xue family Zhuangzi, he originally thought it was an independent Zhuangzi, but the town only knew that it was a town mixed with others, and the farmers and merchants and workers lived together, and many things were very troublesome, and the official meant that Qinghe Town was divided into two sections in the north and south with the cement road as the boundary, the southern section was for the farmers to live, and the northern section was for the merchants and workers, so that the people of the Zhao Mansion could know very clearly who were the tenants of the Zhao family, and it was much more convenient to do things. Zhao Lei looked at Liu Lao and said casually.

"But the houses in the town are all mixed in the north and south, and if they are separated, it will be very troublesome to move, and it is easy to cause disputes." Liu Lao did not agree with Zhao Lei's proposal, and said tactfully.

"I also saw it just now, the houses on the ground in Qinghe Town are about the same size, and they are estimated to have been built by a group of people, but the length of time is different, so let's do it! Regarding the size and length of the house, the official will subsidize a part of the silver to the people who move, and the villagers must not suffer, so there will be no disputes! Zhao Lei knew Liu Lao's concerns, but he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and said to Liu Lao with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Lei had made up his mind to use money to make up for the losses of the townspeople, Liu Lao no longer objected, and followed Zhao Lei towards the south of the town.

It is already late autumn, a large area of fertile land in the south of Qinghe Town is barren, and there are occasional hares among the weeds, and the hare that is ready to eat the fat land for the winter has attracted the attention of the four little masters of the Zhao Mansion, and after the consent of Zhao Lei and Tian Lan, the four cute little guys are under the escort of more than a dozen subordinates, cheering and running towards the field in the field.

Zhao Lei walked all the way south along the field path, except for the barren fields, to the south

It is the only place in the town that has a bright spot, and Zhao Lei has been going all the way, what are the shortcomings of this town.

Zhao Lei has not seen many rural towns, in his previous life, except for being stationed in the countryside when he was a soldier, only when he was transporting medicine for the hospital, he had seen the appearance of those villages on the high, and other places, Zhao Lei had not been there, but there were only a few places, compared with Qinghe Town, but they were very different, it stands to reason that the ancient and modern fields should be similar, why does the old feeling be different! Zhao Lei recalled with some puzzlement in his heart.

Big trees, houses, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, simple farmers, barren fields, everything is similar to the farmland in memory, except for those high-tech products, but Zhao Lei feels a little different, what is the difference!

Zhao Lei looked left and right on the small road in the south of the town, and suddenly there were a few low huts in the south of the town.

"Liu Lao! What are those houses for? Zhao Lei pointed to the hut outside the town and asked Liu Lao.

"Oh! It is used to grow vegetables, mainly mushrooms and fungus, which need to be a cool and damp place, the house is full of bad wood, as long as you keep watering, you can grow fungus and mushrooms, but they are all eaten by yourself, the mushrooms and fungus of Bianjing and Xifu are from the mountains and forests, fresh, and the town is grown by themselves, many people don't like this taste. Liu Lao explained to Zhao Lei.

Build a hut to grow fungus and mushrooms, I didn't expect that the agricultural science and technology of the Northern Song Dynasty had reached such a point, and the wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated! Zhao Lei thought with a sigh in his heart.

At this moment, Zhao Lei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly thought of what Qinghe Town lacked, there was no greenhouse here, I remember that he saw a lot of greenhouses in many villages in his previous life, providing winter vegetables, and when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he has not seen the appearance of greenhouses, no wonder he feels that there are too few vegetables in winter, and it turns out that the greenhouses have not yet appeared!

"Are there any greenhouses in Bianjing?" Zhao Lei asked Liu Lao carefully.

"Greenhouse! What is it? Liu Lao, who is in his fifties but is still tough, heard Zhao Lei's question and said with a confused face.

"It's a shed where you can grow a variety of spring and autumn vegetables in winter." Zhao Lei didn't know how many things could be planted in the greenhouse, so he could only vaguely explain to Liu Lao.

"I've never heard of this kind of thing, it's so cold in winter, even if there is a shed, can the vegetables in spring and autumn live?" Liu Lao looked at Zhao Lei incredulously and asked.

There are no greenhouses! It turns out that Da Song really doesn't have a greenhouse! Liu Lao's words made Zhao Lei happy and worried, happy that the greenhouse will come out of his hands, Zhao Lei will gain fame and fortune, and worry about Zhao Lei Although he knows what a greenhouse is, how to do it still needs to be explored slowly.

Zhao Lei vaguely remembers that the greenhouse, also known as the greenhouse, is made of glass or lighting film, but the value of glass in the Great Song Dynasty is so high, used to build a greenhouse, some talents, the cost is too high, not cost-effective, and the lighting film is a thing, it seems to be a chemical product, the Great Song Dynasty does not have it at all, so Zhao Lei must find a material that can be lit and impermeable, this material is all over the street after a thousand years, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not easy to find!

Zhao Lei thought for a long time, but couldn't think of alternative materials, asked Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan and Liu Lao and others around him, but also helpless, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to still use glass, fortunately, the glass required by the greenhouse is not high, as long as it is transparent, there is no need for those high-value art glass, but despite this, if you want to build a greenhouse, you need at least thousands of taels of investment per acre.

"Liu Lao! This official needs 100 acres of land to build a greenhouse for planting vegetables in winter, and you know the situation of the Xue family's tenants very well, and you don't know who is rich enough to divide the land. Zhao Lei thought of the land needed for the greenhouse, and asked Liu Lao carefully.

The land of the Xue family now belongs to Zhao Lei, yes, but those tenants signed long-term lease contracts, if Zhao Lei rashly retracted those lands, those tenants would definitely not agree, if the trouble had a great impact on the Zhao Mansion, just bought the land and took back the land, let those tenants think of the Zhao Mansion!

"A hundred acres of land! Impossible, unless Lord Zhao forcibly reclaimed those lands, it would be difficult for the farmers in the town to give a hundred acres of land to Lord Zhao. Liu Lao didn't believe that Zhao Lei could create a greenhouse for planting vegetables in winter, so he opposed Zhao Lei's resumption of the land.

Hearing Liu Lao's objections, Zhao Lei pondered back and forth in the field for a while, and then made up his mind and said: "That's it!" Liu Lao, the farmers of the 100 acres of land are hired by the Zhao Mansion, and the Zhao Mansion will give them as much grain as they can harvest on their 100 acres of land, and they are still farmers, but they don't need to grow grain, so they can take care of those greenhouses for the Zhao Mansion. ”

You don't need to farm to have food, you only need to take care of a few greenhouses that have no shadows, isn't this what the workers do! There is still a farmer's household registration, and if you look for such a good thing, you must be willing to do it. Thinking of this, Liu Lao simply agreed to Zhao Lei's request.

That's it! Zhao Lei's greenhouse plan for planting vegetables in winter has begun to be launched.
