Looking at the turbid rice wine in the stoneware bowl that Lin Feng respected, Fang Xiaoyu felt a little drumming in his heart. In his previous life, he rarely drank liquor, at most he drank some beer, and in this life, he has never touched a drop of alcohol, and he even doubts that he will get drunk and sober up if he drinks this bowl of wine. However, Fang Xiaoyu already had a very mature idea after some weighing, at the beginning he rescued Sun Xiaohu just out of compassion, and seeing these children who were so united and disciplined, an idea popped up in his brain.

Since you want to do a career here, you have to have your own team, these hungry and cold children are not the objects that can be united, if you can cultivate these children, and when you grow up, they will become your own right-hand man, these feelings cultivated since childhood are necessary for their own decision, and they will become their most solid support. If you want to get these people in, you must first make friends with them, and if you want to make these friends, Fang Xiaoyu must drink this bowl of wine, which represents Lin Feng's respect and their friendship heart.

For his own future, and in order to be able to have a group of friends in this world, Fang Xiaoyu turned his heart sideways, took the big bowl, and poured the wine down with a tilt of his neck, seeing that Lin Feng and the others looked at each other, they originally planned to let Fang Xiaoyu take the bowl and drink it slowly.

After drinking, Fang Xiaoyu wiped the corners of his mouth with some wine stains, and saw the stunned expressions of Lin Feng and the others before he knew that he was going to be wrong, and blamed himself for watching too many TV series, and thought that he had drunk it all on the rivers and lakes, but the low degree of this rice wine made Fang Xiaoyu a little surprised, it turned out that the wine-making industry in this world was so underdeveloped, not only was the liquor not filtered and not distilled, not only was it very turbid, but the alcohol content was also very low. He had no problem drinking three or four bowls.

However, this is also beneficial, Fang Xiaoyu's boldness infected Lin Feng and others. He smiled and poured another bowl of wine for Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Brother Fang is really a good amount of wine." Hearing Lin Feng's words, Fang Xiaoyu knew that these teenagers had eliminated their estrangement and regarded themselves as brothers. Fang Xiaoyu asked, "Why are you all gathered here?" Aren't you all going home? ”

"Home?" Lin Feng, who was holding the wine bowl, said with a gloomy expression: "The empire has been fighting for many years, with countless casualties, and those here are orphans who lost their parents in the war, and we have no home for a long time. After speaking, Lin Feng also drank the wine in the bowl.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Fang Xiaoyu's heart twitched violently. His family background in his two lives is good, and he has never felt such pain, but Fang Xiaoyu, who is kind-hearted, can't bear to watch these young children endure hunger and cold here.

"Home, do you have a home?" Fang Xiaoyu asked secretly. Although there is his father in this life, his mother who loves him, his three grandfathers who love him very much, and his kind and loving brothers and sisters and uncles, he still doesn't feel that he is at home. Because he misses the earth, his parents in his previous life, his sworn friend Qiu Ruifeng, and even Zhao Ziting, who always smiles at him. In any case, I have to work hard first, even for the sake of those relatives in the family who love me in this life, not to mention that I still have the dream of going home.

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't say a word for a long time, Lin Feng thought that he was feeling sorry for his people, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He reassured: "We are all used to it, although we have lost our home, but we are now together and love each other, just like a big family." What I want to do most now is to make a lot of money so that my younger siblings can have enough to eat. ”

"How about you all follow me? Although I don't have much power at home, I still manage a farmstead, which is enough to settle you. Fang Xiaoyu proposed. Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said, "You want us to come to your house as slaves?" "It is normal to be a slave in the big family of the Lanfang Empire, many big families raise some children at home, as domestic slaves, such people have been exposed to it since childhood, and they are very loyal to the family.

Looking at Lin Feng's frowning brows, Fang Xiaoyu knew that he would be wrong, patted his hands full of dust, he stood up, shook his head and said firmly: "No, it's not a house slave, but a brother." I Xiaoyu doesn't need a slave who is only a promise, what I need is a real brother, the kind of brother who can trust his life and fight together without hesitation at a critical moment, are you willing? Saying that, Fang Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to Lin Feng.

Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, the teenagers all stood up excitedly, Lin Feng looked at the excited expressions of the brothers around him and slowly stood up, grabbed Fang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Since Brother Fang thinks so highly of us, we will be brothers in the future, brothers who will never betray." Those teenagers also excitedly put their hands on the clasped hands of the two and said in unison: "It's a brother, a brother who will never betray." ”

Their voices were so loud that many of the children who were eating couldn't stop looking at what they were doing. Only because he was not at ease, Sun Huaizong, who was hidden in the woods not far away, saw this scene completely, and he sighed and said: "Young Master really can buy people's hearts, is this still a ten-year-old child?" ”

After eating, everyone's spirits were much better, and seeing the children's faces full of bright smiles, Fang Xiaoyu believed that they hadn't eaten like this for a long time. Since it had been decided to contain these people, Fang Xiaoyu naturally had to go back and check first, after all, he hadn't been there yet. Therefore, he left two guards and two sedan chair men to help them pack up their things, and he didn't even make a sedan chair, and took Sun Huaizong and two guards to the farm, anyway, they were all in the north of the city, and there were still ten kilometers to go.

At first, Sun Huaizong was worried that Fang Xiaoyu's physical strength would not be able to hold on, but after seeing Fang Xiaoyu trotting all the way, running out of more than four kilometers without blushing or panting, Sun Huaizong was convinced of his physical strength, and secretly said that he really deserved to be a military family, and his physical fitness was good.

When I came to the gate of Lanting Farm, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, even Fang Xiaoyu's physique that had been transformed by Xiaofeng was already sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but gasp, and secretly said in his heart that it was really inconvenient in this era without cars, even if there was a bicycle.

Lanting Farm is named after Lanting Mountain, the area here is vast, but most of them are mountains and cultivated land, only at the foot of Lanting Mountain there is a small village enclosed by a wall, there are many house slaves who farm for the Fang family, fortunately, the Fang family is rich and rich, although the output here is not much, but there is no sloppiness, all the brick houses built here are neat and tidy, the wall is also made of green bricks, in addition to the brick houses that live in the wall, there are some semi-masonry granaries and a lot of open space used to threh grain and dry grain. The brick houses are all independent courtyards, and several kinds of vegetables are planted in the yards for the house slaves to eat themselves.

Walking to the gate of Lanting Farm, the gate made of blue bricks, three meters high, like a city tower, made Fang Xiaoyu nod secretly, but the sign with Lanting Farm written in the middle was a little unsightly, and there was no momentum at all. Fang Xiaoyu turned back to Sun Huaizong and said, "Go back and change this brand for me, and change the name to Lanting Villa." "Fang Xiaoyu felt that it was only when he looked at it with a name like Villa that he had momentum." Pavilion Villa? Sun Huaizong just hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, anyway, it didn't cost much to change a brand.

After taking a general look at the villa, and looking at the nearby cultivated land and Lanting Mountain, Fang Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction, this place is good, especially big enough. Originally, Fang Xiaoyu just wanted to find a place to experiment with Xiaofeng's achievements in agricultural experiments, but seeing such a good place, Fang Xiaoyu changed his mind. This may be the place where his career begins, and it is better to start farming to become bigger and stronger.

After inspecting the circle, Fang Xiaoyu was very satisfied, and he asked Sun Huaizong: "Isn't there any protection such as a fence in this entire cultivated land?" "Cultivated land still needs to be protected?" Sun Huaizong was a little surprised and said, "No, it's just some boundary monuments." ”

"It's all walled up next year." Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand. His words almost frightened Sun Huaizong to fall, and he hurriedly replied: "Young master, this farm is more than 300 square kilometers, I'm afraid it's not realistic to surround it all." ”

"Oh, that's right." Fang Xiaoyu also felt that he was a little too whimsical, so he changed his words randomly: "Then dig a ditch around the farm, remember to dig wider and deeper." "Digging a ditch?" Sun Huaizong was stunned again: "What's the use of digging a ditch?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "In this way, someone will not have to steal our grain, digging a ditch just to lead the water of the Weishui River over, which can prevent theft and facilitate irrigation, anyway, it is autumn now, the crops are all harvested, let those house slaves go to dig a ditch." "Sun Huaizong has some understanding of the young master's whimsical ideas, this is a moat.

Fang Xiaoyu continued: "When the ditch is dug, you can erect a lookout around the ditch for me two hundred meters apart, and let the house slaves live on it at night, the anti-theft effect must be good." Sun Huaizong said: "Young master, this project is big." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You don't need to complete this now, you shouldn't need it next year, the year after tomorrow will be about the same, you can build it within three years." Sun Huaizong nodded and wrote down the matter.

"Also, let's repair the entire Lanting Mountain." After listening to the young master's words, Sun Huaizong almost fell again: "Young master, I'm afraid this project is bigger." Fang Xiaoyu said: "I didn't let you bulldoze it, I just asked you to repair it and build it into a layer of terraces from top to bottom." "What do you mean by terraces?" Sun Huaizong asked suspiciously, there is no concept of terraces in this world, so the Lanting Mountain included in the farm has always been barren, in fact, this mountain was also bought at the beginning and was also given by others.

Fang Xiaoyu explained to Sun Huaizong in detail the construction method of the terraces, and asked him to set aside a waterway. Seeing that Lanting Mountain is a dirt mountain with an altitude of less than a thousand meters, Fang Xiaoyu is confident that he can use a rickshaw to get water to the top of the mountain, and irrigation will not be a problem.

When Fang Xiaoyu was instructing Sun Huaizong to rebuild the farm, Sun Huaizong asked cautiously: "Young master, this farm is not in a hurry to be rebuilt, those children should also settle down when they come." Fang Xiaoyu woke up to the fact that he had patronized the farm and forgot about it.
