Chapter 11: Rock Mountain
Mo Shao couldn't help but smile, lifted his breath again, and walked up the mountain col with one foot and lightly tapped the gate gate, and once again lifted his qi and took Yan Ji to the highest place of the rock mountain.
"Wow!" Yan Ji looked at the entire col and excitedly stretched the end note, do you still remember the loss?
On this rocky mountain, Yan Yao really saw the mountains on both sides clearly, and pointed to the closest slope of the col.
"Uncle Mo!" Yan Juan thought about adding more requirements, and suddenly thought that a bunch of things she asked for had not been completed yet, and now she had to set a new goal, and she would be resentful!
Mo Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard what she wanted to say, so he had to ask questions. "Girl, but she has a new idea?"
The peaks and forests are lush, the jade mountains are green, this kind of scenery, even he has a thought, not to mention Yan Jiao, who is full of weird brains.
"Uncle Mo is so good!" Yan Jiao laughed dryly, pointed to the two closest mountain shores, and said excitedly. "Uncle Mo's two recent rocky mountains have been transformed into a bridge, and there are several waterwheels on the four zhang erections under the bridge, and the two sides of the mountain can be planned into workshops, using water conservancy to lead the workshop, if Uncle Mo is willing to stay and lead the workshop, the maintenance of these fortifications will depend on Uncle Mo in the future, okay?"
Mo Shao couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to nod his head. "The girl finds more things for Mo Mou, and Mo Mou won't be able to go back to the mountain gate."
Yan Wan blinked and looked at Mo Shao, this is a hint that she will work more?
Mo Shao gave her an affirmative bow.
"Then the fortifications here are also entrusted to Uncle Mo!" Yan Jiao happily described the arch bridge she wanted. "The arch bridge is built from both sides, no need to be exactly opposite, and after the beginning of winter in the next year, the arch bridge will be connected, you can make a Taiji rock ground, and then hang the waterwheel, and then set up a pavilion in the middle, and the workshop can be officially opened."
"Do you want to attract the mountain stream to the west first? Let the rockwater sluice gate try to operate in advance. "There are very few water sources in Guiwu Mountain, and the only water source flows into Xieyang City, which has become one of the moats.
When the water source is sufficient, it will not be discovered if part of the water source is secretly intercepted, and it can also speed up the restoration of the farmland in Zhuangzi under the mountain.
Yan Ji pondered for a while before turning her head and asking. "If we want to increase our water, we have to go a little farther, and if we can, we have to go back to the moat."
It's not so easy to cut off the moat's water source, how to come and go.
"The girl wants to fill this mountain col with water, and it won't be able to do it without a dozen days and nights of heavy rain." Mo Shao has absolute confidence in the fortifications, "Even if the storage is full, it is not a problem for the sluice gate in the rock mountain to control the flood discharge, but it is difficult to fill the mountain pass." ”
Even if it attracts a mountain stream to the west, it is only a trickle.
Yan Wan'er, that's what she wants! It's not that she doesn't have confidence in the fortifications, it's one more master as a guarantee!
"With Uncle Mo here, these have become trivial matters!"
"The girl has won the prize!" Mo Shao was embarrassed to be praised.
"Not really!" Yan Jian decided to give another good guy card. "Without Uncle Mo understanding me, how could these works be so fast? It's just that if we want to steal the water source of Xishan, we still make another section of waterway from Zhuangshang to send some water to the moat, so as to save the government trouble, after all, there is no shortage of water sources, of course, it is fine, once the water shortage period comes, the moat will definitely be held accountable. ”
She has always disliked troubles, and would rather go the extra mile if she can do less.
"Don't seek to take orders." Mo Shao responded respectfully, very impressed by this girl's multifaceted thinking.
The girls raised in Bohou's Mansion always see more than these reckless men, no wonder the young master likes them too.
In the past, they were hidden in the market, and they did not need and would not care about the interaction between these officialdom and interpersonal relationships.
They all like to listen quietly to her planning the territory, as if in her clever smile, they have built ideal fortifications.
"If Uncle Mo is short of rock chips, there is a predetermined rock mountain under the bridge, and the rock crust will be kept to hollow out the rock layer, and the workshop will be hidden in it in the future, which will also facilitate the use of water conservancy."
"The girl's restaurant and bookstore are good places?"
Yan Ji tilted her head and looked at Mo Shao again, and she couldn't cry or laugh.
This is taking the initiative to take the job!
"What do you think is good about the girl?" This time, Mo Shao wanted to know.
"Literati and writers always like to listen to the river to the moon, watch the tide and write articles, we can use the water to build a bookstore, and sit down to listen to the river to the moon." During the period when Mo Shao was riding the wind on his shoulders, she had already thought about the bookstore.
Mo Shao raised his breath dozens again, and took Yan Jiao to the mountain stream to overlook, the bamboo forest of Xiangfei was secluded, green and straight, and the elegant main leaves were fragrant.
"It's good to build on the rock, supplemented by the bamboo forest?" These days, Mo Shao has already explored all the mountains of Guiwu, and he only feels that Yan Jiao has picked the right one.
Few people can see the connotation of this mountain, and she, a six-year-old girl, not only saw through him, but also tried her best to make Guiwu Mountain show its superiority.
Yan Jiao smiled lightly. "Let's look at the location of the restaurant, this large piece of Xiangfei bamboo can do a lot of things!"
"The restaurant can be selected above the workshop, and the girl's Tai Chi pavilion can just attract these drinkers, and then it can cover up the noise of the workshop."
"It's good to have Uncle Mo!"
......
On the day of the beginning of winter, the water begins to ice
After inspecting the Zhuangzi, Yan Juan ordered people to burn all the rice seeds, and then ordered the steward to mix in the calculated quicklime to make the soil like digging three feet into the ground.
Since it is not possible to produce rice with full ears, then the more fertile the soil is, and the more time and energy you put into it, the more poor the soil will be.
Yan Ji asked people to calculate the Dingkou on the village, and she issued 30 taels of silver from house to house, so that people can maintain the cultivation machinery and tools well in the days of soil fallow, and they can also live the New Year.
On this day, Yan Jiao picked a village, gathered all the cooks in each village, set up dozens of stoves in the cultivated fields, prepared food for thousands of people, and asked each village to bring the eating guys to the meeting.
At a glance, dozens of pots were steaming with white smoke, and more than a dozen steamers were also steaming, and the tables and chairs brought by the Zhuangzi were also there, and there was a bonfire in the middle.
Bai Lu cut a small piece of longan glutinous rice cake from the steamer and handed it to Yan Ji. "Girl, you can taste it."
Yan Juan couldn't wait to take a sip, and the lingering aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of longan overflowed between her lips and teeth. "Great! That's the smell. ”
Bai Lu happily went down to the pot, and the brown and black hat-style bowl was filled with rich sesame oil chicken soup and handed it to Yan Jiao. "Girl, try it again, sister-in-law Wang has been busy with these people all morning!"
Yan Juan smiled brightly and honestly blessed Sister-in-law Wang. "Thank you, sister-in-law! Hard work to prepare. ”
"Girl! Don't bother the old woman, these are what the old woman should do, and the girl's great kindness can't be reciprocated!. ”
This blessed body was so frightened that the sister-in-law couldn't stand and knelt down, how could a farmer woman who had a lifetime of crops be able to withstand the gratitude of her master? You should work to death!
As soon as she saw Sister-in-law Wang kneeling, Bai Lu couldn't stop the speed, Yan Jiao also knelt down, and looked at Sister-in-law Wang with poor eyebrows and blinking. "It's tormenting me! Sister-in-law Wang can't get up, the first sound of this winter thunder will hit my head. ”
Bai Lu, who was holding the soup, was stunned, and quickly grabbed the two of them. "Get up! The girl has to try the soup! ”
"That's it! It is! Don't let the winter thunder smash me! Yan Jiao took a sip of the fragrant sesame oil chicken soup, wrung her eyebrows and asked. Sister Bailu, is there still kumquat in the village? ”
Bai Lu nodded. "Yes! Gu Yu hurriedly went back and sent it to the girl. ”
Seeing Gu Yu leading the order to lift her breath and run away, Yan Ji blinked and looked at Sister-in-law Wang. "Did Sister-in-law Wang misunderstand the silver taels I gave to the village?"
Sister-in-law Wang choked for a while, and she also heard the meaning of Yan Jiao's words.
It's not a reward, it's a give.
Yan Jiao made a look and asked Bai Lu to summon dozens of mothers-in-law.
Bai Lu saw that everyone was coming, and gathered the qi of the dantian. "I heard that there are still people who don't understand the intention of the girl going door-to-door for thirty taels, so I bother you to hear it clearly. The girl has given out all the money for the coming year! Give a lot more yes, that is the governance of the heavy stubble period to buy sulforaphane seeds or rapeseed to raise the soil, then bloom can not harvest and squeeze oil, and then continue to turn into the soil to raise the land, stop farming during this period of field tax, military tax must also be handed over to Xieyang City on time, a few days ago, please steward to dig a good cellar for the granary, is to let the big guy according to their own number of mouths ready to pay the tax at that time, if someone privately squeezed the rapeseed oil did not turn over the soil, the next year's harvest is not good, or the tax is not ready, affecting the time to pay the tax, Zhuang Shang's affairs are small at most, and if you can't pay taxes, you have to bear your own official wrongs. ”
Yan Ji gave Bai Lu a sip of lukewarm chicken soup and drank all the moisturizing tea. "I wonder if this can be explained?"
A group of mothers-in-law and children were stirring their clothes, and sister-in-law Wang took the lead in replying. "The old woman is clear."
"Naturally, the silver will not be in vain, the girl has just made all the plans for the coming year, and has prepared the taxes for everyone, and every family can save up for taxes." Bai Lu emphasized again.
Gu Yu, who was holding a large bag of kumquats, also rushed back at this time, and sent the kumquat to a few mothers-in-law who were in charge of chicken soup to make the soup, while Mo Shao and his group each carried dozens of wine jars, and several people mixed all the wine jars into more than a dozen pots during laughter.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed, attracting many people's gluttony.
"I'm so hungry for this wine." Mo Shao watched more than a dozen pots of chicken soup begin to boil gradually, and the aroma was permeating, so greedy that the wine insects were making a fuss.
"It's coming! Soon! "Yan Ji is very satisfied with the aroma of the wine." Later, the chicken soup will be enough to drink. ”
After Mo Shao took her to inspect the lush Xiangfei bamboo forest, the next day she took some snow-flavored wine mothers from Uncle Ye's wine cellar, and found a few people to beat the wine mothers into the bamboo tube with great interest. It's only been about 20 days, how can Yuli wine be mellow enough?
These bamboo tube wine are brewed just to make up for the chicken soup on this day of winter, and they all say that they make up for winter, and the six diseases are empty, and two bamboo tube wines are added to each pot of soup, and they can be made up for warmth in winter.
"Girl, it's only been twenty days that this wine can be so authentic?" Mo Shao lifted Yan Jiao on his shoulders again.
"It's not enough time!" Good bamboo tube wine can last for two or three years! She has only borrowed incense and stealing dew for the past 20 days.
