Chapter 81: The Yan Family's Father and Son
With the cessation of heavy snowfall, Lijiawan is lively again.
With the arrival of winter, various projects continue to be completed, and those that are not completed are gradually stopped, and many male laborers are gradually moving closer to one place.
That's Lijiawan.
The project here has been working overtime, after all, the amount of work to dig the pond is too large.
The arrival of a large number of laborers has greatly alleviated this situation, and with the increase of labor, the progress of the reclamation project has been accelerated.
There was no white earth alkali on the empty saline ground, and there were many more figures wearing white linen.
A spade of dirt was thrown up from the pond and then pulled away by a cart. Fell on the open ground not far away.
There was a lot of wet dirt in the clearing, and the middle one was three feet high, and it was up to the waist of a person.
However, this is only an inflated height, and after a while the soil will slowly settle, and it will be nice to be two feet tall by then.
Not far away, there are many terraces that have been leveled. Winter vegetables are already planted on the terraces.
The green winter vegetables grow gratifyingly, these vegetables have special people to take care of, the vegetables produced are used to supply the food of the homeless, and a small part will be sent to Daxing City to exchange for some necessities of life.
Before the snowfall, nearly 20,000 acres of planned 100,000 acres of land had been completed. It is believed that in the near future, the remaining 80,000 acres will slowly become one terrace after another.
The brick road construction in Lijiawan is the most developed, and basically the terrace has not yet started, and the brick road has been repaired.
Next to the brick road, two figures that often appear are overlooking the busy crowd in the distance.
Yan Gui looked at his father beside him depressedly, not knowing why his father was so interested in these fields.
The Yan family itself is rich enough, even if they don't want the fields, they don't necessarily have anything, and they don't have to come to see it every day if they want to buy it!
"The project is speeding up, and His Royal Highness the Acting King is about to use these lands." Old Man Yan said firmly.
"The Guanzhong area has always been more populated and less land, and the price of land is high, but now there are suddenly more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, and the low price of Jingzhao will definitely drop sharply!" Yan Gui looked at the 100,000 acres of fertile land, and his eyes were very hot.
"Land prices are down!" Old Man Yan sneered, "As long as this day remains unchanged, the price of anything will be reduced, only the price of this land will not change." No one has too much land, and no more than 100,000 acres is not enough. ”
"Don't underestimate His Royal Highness the Acting King, everything he does has a deep meaning." Old man Yan taught his son a lesson.
Although Yan Gui did not agree with Old Man Yan's words, he did not refute because of Old Man Yan's usual prestige.
"Why are you not convinced!" Knowing that a son is better than a father, Old Man Yan guessed his son's thoughts at a glance.
"Do you think it's great if you see the value of cotton, ship it from the Western Regions at a low price, and make a little money?"
Old Man Yan didn't show face to his son at all, and scolded: "Do you know who discovered the value of Lu Dao cotton!" Look at what these people are wearing. ”
Old Man Yan pointed to the dense crowd of homeless people in front of him, each homeless person was wrapped in bulging bags, the cotton clothes he wore inside, and the layer of linen clothes he was looking for outside, lest they get dirty.
"Are these people the only ones who need cotton clothes in winter! Don't so many people in the world need it? If everybody bought a cotton garment, think about what a big market it would be! ”
Yan Gui's mouth grew like a fish out of the water, and he was short of breath, and he was shocked by the magnificent market described by his father.
If they seize the opportunity and get a piece of this market, their Yan family's harvest far exceeds the efforts of the two generations of the Yan family.
Old Man Yan said earnestly: "The Disaster Relief Division sells cotton at a fair price, because His Royal Highness the Acting King does not seek wealth, what he pursues is that position, if His Royal Highness the Acting King is in business, hum ......." ”
"Daddy! You mean......" Yan Gui said tentatively.
Old Man Yan didn't answer, and said with a deep gaze: "After I go back, donate all the profits from this cotton to the Disaster Relief Division, remember, there will be no profits left!" ”
"I know what to do, Dad!" Yan Gui said convincingly.
Yan Gui's father and son stayed for a while and began to walk back.
After walking for a short time, the brick road began to slowly widen, and after walking for another mile, you arrived at the brick road leading to Daxing City.
Not far ahead, the first terrace was there, and the father and son of the Yan family watched them take shape little by little.
From the first lesson of the start of construction, to the pond dug up, the terrace leveled, and even the planting of fresh vegetables, there is also a courtyard that rises abruptly in front of the terrace, and the tall windmill in front of the courtyard.
Windmills are all over the city, but these are children's things.
The father and son of the Yan family, who traveled from south to north, had never seen such a big windmill, and they had never even imagined that there would be such a large windmill, each fan blade was six feet long.
The breeze blows gently, driving the windmill to rotate slowly.
Underneath the windmill is a water drain device that rotates and the water drain rotates, drawing the water out of the pond and flowing into the courtyard into a stream of clear water.
"What a clever setup." Yan Gui praised.
"What a clever work!" Old Man Yan couldn't help but be fascinated, using wind power instead of manpower, thinking about what others dare not think.
"But Old Man Yan."
A strong man dressed as a nurse blocked the way of the Yan family's father and son, and asked respectfully.
"It's old age."
Old Man Yan's eyes flashed, and he could see that the nursing home opposite was not simple.
waved his hand to stop the vigilant son, stepped out of the protection of the entourage, and stepped forward.
"My son-in-law asked Old Man Yan and Ling Lang to talk about it again." The nursing home said directly.
"Where to go." Yan Gui asked vigilantly, he didn't want to risk himself and his father, and he had many enemies in the business over the years.
"Right there." The courtyard smiled mysteriously and pointed to the courtyard not far away.
"It's!"
The father and son of the Yan family were shocked.
This courtyard has always been under the attention of their father and son, starting from brick by brick until the courtyard is completed.
This is the direct supervision of the Disaster Relief Department, and since it was built, it has been idle here and no one lives there.
Now, a man who claims to be a prince suddenly comes and invites them into this courtyard, how can they not be surprised.
Could it be that the shrewd old man Yan vaguely guessed something.
I couldn't help but feel that my actions were under the gaze of the other party.
Immediately snickered in his heart, it seems that he did not make the other party unhappy, otherwise he would not have been so politely invited.
He glanced back at his son with a cautious face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Shoucheng! ”
The old man followed the nursing home with a complicated mind, and Yan Gui followed behind,
The pace of the nursing home is not slow, but Old Man Yan seems to have gone back in time and returned to his prime, with solid and powerful steps, and he did not lag behind at all.
I didn't go far before I arrived at the gate of the compound.
The vermilion gate, painted bright red, has obviously just been painted.
"Dangdang!"
The nurse stepped forward and slammed it three times.
A code word came, and the nursing home immediately said a code word.
The courtyard door creaked open. The nursing home made a gesture of invitation, but he himself stopped outside and did not go in.
Yan Gui's father and son entered the courtyard in a nervous mood, and at this time, Yan Gui was sluggish, and he also realized the strangeness of things.
But seeing his father's composure, he barely held on.
The courtyard is very large, surrounded by houses, red bricks and green tiles, and the feet are paved with red bricks, clean and tidy.
Looking up, there are no clouds, clear skies and blue skies
A gust of wind blows, and the windmill turns, driving the water in the pond and flowing into the courtyard.
"This will be the place where I will live for the rest of my life."
Yan Lai involuntarily felt a thought rise in his heart, this is simply the pure land in his heart, quiet and stable.
The water flowed to a pool in the courtyard,
A young man stood beside the pool, and the boy took a handkerchief and wiped the water from his hands.
"See His Royal Highness the Acting King!"
Yan Lai fell to the ground.
