The two exchanged a few polite words, and then Zhao Ruxi asked, "I wonder when Mrs. Zhang has time to go to the deed?" ”

"In the afternoon, you can go to the yamen." Mrs. Zhang said.

"Okay, when the yamen goes to the yamen, let's meet directly at the yamen." Zhao Ruxi said.

"Very good, very good."

Zhao Ruxi said goodbye and returned to the next door, Qingfeng also led the two maids from Kangfu over, and the three of them carried food boxes in both hands.

Zhao Ruxi saw that Li Zhongren was about to say goodbye, so he hurriedly said: "It's better to eat something here and let Uncle Gao accompany you." ”

Qingfeng also said: "Yes." The cook of the Kang family knew that the girl had not eaten, so she was very enthusiastic and cooked a lot of food, and a few of us would definitely not be able to eat it. Li Zhongren might as well eat together here. ”

Gao Weiqiang also said a few kind words.

Generally, when doing this kind of business, the Chinese will accompany them to the yamen to sign the red deed to avoid accidents in the middle, and at the same time charge commissions. The lunch break of the yamen is also very short, and it will be time to open the yamen in a short time. Li Zhongren didn't dare to go far even if he left, so he just found a small stall nearby to buy something and eat two bites indiscriminately, or simply nibbled on dry food.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Ruxi was sincere in staying as a guest, Li Zhongren did not refuse. Gao Weiqiang took the three food boxes in the maid's hand and ate with him in the dining room in the outer courtyard. Zhao Ruxi and Qingfeng and Dianjiang solved the lunch in the inner courtyard.

After the meal, the group went to the yamen.

Wang Guangyao saw that Zhao Ruxi had only bought another house one day later, and he admired more and more in his heart, and he became more and more diligent in doing things. When Zhao Ruxi gave the hard money, he shirked it for a while before accepting it.

Old lady Zhang saw Wang Guangyao's attitude towards Zhao Ruxi, and his attitude became more and more respectful, and before leaving, he said: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, my family still has a Zhuangzi just outside the city, and we will move to Zhuangzi to live during this time, and we will be able to vacate the house in less than ten days." ”

"Then there's Lao Zhangweng." Zhao Ruxi said goodbye to him, and stopped Li Zhongren again, "I want to buy some Zhuang servants, if you have a suitable one, go to my master's house to leave a message for me." ”

"Good. I'll wait until I've picked it out and then I'll pass the word to the girl. Li Zhongren saw that after finishing a business, another business came to the door, he was very happy, and said goodbye to Zhao Ruxi and left.

After Zhao Ruxi went back, he went to the Kang Family Painting Institute and told Kang Shilin and Wu Zong about the house next door.

Kang Shilin knew that the little apprentice bought the house near here because he and Wu Zong, and he was also very happy, and said, "It's okay and convenient." ”

Although he and Zhao Ruxi are masters and apprentices, they are different from men and women. Even if he doesn't live here, Zhao Ruxi sometimes finds it inconvenient to go back to Beijing or live in his courtyard.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a place to stay here.

"Little junior sister, you are spending money like running water. Don't have a lot of money, right? Wu Zong teased her.

"It's really spent." Zhao Ruxi nodded, and smiled at the two of them again, "But isn't the painting training class that Master and Senior Brother have opened for me soon?" If I didn't have this income, I wouldn't have dared to buy a house like this. You have to pick and choose to buy a place. So thank you, Master and Senior Brother. ”

"Alright." Kang Shilin patted her on the head, "Don't play treasure here, go and paint." If you don't draw well, be careful that I hit your handboard. ”

After Zhao Ruxi went to paint a picture, got Kang Shilin's affirmation and praise, and pointed out everyone's sketches, he saw Gong Cheng coming in, still wearing an official uniform.

When Wu Zong saw him, he smiled and said, "Senior brother, is the affairs of your Ministry of Industry so busy?" I remember that you were like me, you took a leave of absence for the rest of the day, right? Look at you, how many times have you only been here? ”

Gong Cheng ignored him, said hello to Kang Shilin, entered the inner courtyard to change his official uniform, and put on his regular clothes.

After coming out, he said: "No way, I was busy some time ago, and I was able to paint with peace of mind." As a result, yesterday the saint decreed that the five princes would come to the Ministry of Industry today. After the five princes came today, they went to all the yamen, and none of us had a hard time going, so we had to accompany them. If I hadn't taken a leave of absence, I wouldn't have been able to get out at this time. ”

Zhao Ruxi heard this, and his heart moved.

The matter involved the royal family, Wu Zong didn't want to make fun of him anymore, and said, "Okay, you can draw quickly." ”

Zhao Ruxi came to Gong Cheng's side: "Senior brother, can I delay you for a while?" ”

Gong Cheng didn't have much contact with Zhao Ruxi, but during this time, he didn't hear Master and Wu Zong praise the little sister in various fancies, and he had a very good impression of Zhao Ruxi.

He smiled, "It's okay, you say." ”

"Didn't I just buy a Zhuangzi? When I asked the head of the village, he said that he only planted one crop of rice every year, and that it was barren in other seasons, and winter wheat could not be planted in winter to save land. I just want to ask, is he doing the right thing? Can you give me a little advice? ”

Gong Cheng is the left waiter of the Ministry of Works. He may be in charge of engineering and construction, regardless of agriculture. But a high-ranking official, as long as it involves the field under his jurisdiction, knows a little bit.

For example, modern provincial and municipal leaders, even if they are not from a farming family and have never farmed themselves, but they have inspected and learned too much about agriculture, and they have to help local farmers solve problems when they encounter them, and they can also tell a lot of truth and relevant detailed data in this regard.

Sure enough, as soon as Gong Cheng heard this question, he said, "He is right. The main reason is that the Zhuangzi is too big, there are too many acres, the manpower is also limited, the farmer can't accumulate much fertilizer, the fertility of the field can't keep up, and the winter is cold, so the field can only be released to raise the land. ”

"Isn't there anything else that can be planted in the winter and fattened?" Zhao Ruxi said.

"Yes. We all advocate growing green manure, which can fatten up, but it is impossible to sell it for money. "Gong Cheng Road.

Wu Zong interjected beside him: "Little junior sister, I know that you hope that Zhuangzi will have more life and that Zhuangzi's life will be better." But this is the case with every Zhuangzi. If there was a good way, everyone would have followed suit. Who wouldn't want to do something that can make money? But for so many years, no one can think of a good way. ”

Zhao Ruxi sighed: "Okay." Then I'll think about it. ”

Actually, she has a little idea.

She has not only fields, but also mountains and rivers. If you raise sheep and chickens in the mountains and ducks by the river, the manure of these livestock and poultry, combined with the humus accumulated from the fallen leaves in the mountain forests, is a good fertilizer. Fertilizer can increase the fertility of the field, and the sale of livestock and poultry is another income, killing two birds with one stone, which can be regarded as solving the problem of insufficient fertility.

It's just that what to do if livestock and poultry get sick, it's a big question. Chicken plague is inevitable in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

"The family has a lot of money, but the hairy ones don't count", which means that the income of livestock and poultry is difficult to calculate, and it depends on whether you have financial luck.
