"So when are we going to start building this farm?"

Although Ye Feng and Chen Jifa verbally agreed, if they didn't start work for a day, they couldn't be steady for a moment. This kind of thing is not true until it is decided as soon as possible.

"Right away, or tomorrow, we'll come tomorrow."

In this way, after talking about some details, Ye Feng and Chen Jifa went to the entrance of the village under the leadership of everyone and got into the carriage back to the village. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared that the people of Nanmu Village hugged each other and began to celebrate. For a while, it was as lively as the New Year.

Those villagers who were not at the scene just now only learned the news, and they were also excited. It's just that they still don't understand Ye Feng's reluctance to build a villa here.

"We are no worse than Qingzhu Village here, although there are no bamboo forests, but there are more forests. Why can they build villas there, but we can't here? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Weiming said, "Hey, you misunderstood." It's not that people don't want to build, but they make it clear, if you want to buy, they will choose to build it at the junction of Qingzhu Village and our village, and then you can sign up. ”

And the reason for this, Ye Feng prevaricated on the surface on the grounds that "there is a mountain spring in Qingzhu Village, which is quieter and suitable for people to live in".

But in fact, the real reason is that in a few years, he can expect that in the future, this place will gradually become a trading market for pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, or at least a breeding demonstration base and the like.

To build a villa in such a place, no one will come to buy it except for the locals. Not to mention the taste, the humanistic environment is really bad.

The environment of Qingzhu Village is good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is exceptionally quiet under the shade of a bamboo forest, and the key is that it is so close to here. As long as it is planned and does not spread to that side, it will not damage the environment over there at all.

Therefore, if the villagers of Nanmu Village want to buy a villa, they will build a second phase at the junction of the two villages at that time, and keep it enough. Therefore, Ye Feng asked Zhou Weiming to count the number of people first.

If there are many people, then they will make up their minds to build the second phase. If there are few people, but you want to build a villa very much, it is not difficult, as long as you pay for it, Ye Feng is responsible for finding someone for the other party.

The workers who built the houses were all skilled, and now they were contracted and led by Chen Qianshan, and they did this kind of work extremely fast and of good quality, and other casual workers could not compete with them at all.

What's more, they have Professor Ye Feng's unique skills in their hands, and others want to learn it, but they can't learn it for a while. Moreover, they all took on big projects, all of which were designated by Ye Feng, so they didn't have to worry about running out of work at all.

After returning to the village, Chen Jifa and Ye Feng immediately convened a short meeting of the villagers who needed to be relocated. At the meeting, Chen Jifa hid the fact that Zhou Weiming himself came to the door to say that the land and timber did not need money, and then said: "In order to save money for you, I have said that my saliva is dry." ”

"The result?" The sharp Aunt Zha asked directly, without showing any emotion.

Although she knew in her heart that as long as the farm was moved, her own land would be vacant, and when the time came, she would find someone to build a three-story building and a yard outside, whether it was to live in her own house or to be an inn.

However, she is like this, she likes to raise the bar and does not scold people and is uncomfortable.

After glancing at Aunt Wu, Chen Jifa said, "I naturally dared to let you come to the meeting after I did a good thing for everyone." You don't need any money for this land, but go and build it. Also, you don't need money for the wood, you just go up the mountain and cut it. ”

And when they heard this, they all rejoiced. Although they all took out the money, who doesn't like free things.

So, they all began to praise Chen Jifa.

After accepting the praise, Chen Jifa said: "But there is one more thing that you have to keep in mind, that is, you are not allowed to treat people in Nanmu Village harshly." If I knew, I wouldn't be the first to spare him! When the time comes, drive me out of the village directly, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Ye Feng has been instructed by a thousand times, and he must not cause any disputes or even public anger because of this. The emperor is coming at any time, and if there is a complaint or something, it will really be completely over.

Chen Jifa is here to play prestige, but Ye Feng is too busy to touch the ground. The forest villas in Chenjia Village are being built in an orderly manner, and everything is going well. It's the hot spring pool, and the workers don't dare to move it, and they really don't know how to build it.

In fact, Ye Feng is also very big, because he doesn't know how to build cement at all, and he can't deserve such a recipe. If you have cement, whether it is to repair houses or roads, it is much more convenient.

Looking at the seven or eight natural hot springs in front of him, Ye Feng was really useless.

If you circle it directly, the appearance is good-looking, and it is easy to build, but when you step on it, your feet will be full of mud, and no matter how good your mood is, you will lose it.

However, such a good resource, if not used, is simply a tyrannical thing.

In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, Ye Feng finally thought of a way to ask Chen Qianshan to come over quickly. He is in charge of this matter, and he has to discuss it.

Chen Qianshan hurriedly ran over, just waiting for Ye Feng's orders. Ye Feng had told him about the efficacy of this hot spring, and he naturally knew the importance of this matter. Besides, he is also very much looking forward to the effect of this pool after it is built.

"But what did you think of?" Chen Qianshan asked expectantly.

"Naturally, I thought of it." Ye Feng said proudly.

"You see, in the case of this pool, its spring is right in the middle. In this way, we covered the pool with bluestone slabs all around the pond, and even placed a few stone benches in the water so that we would not step on the mud. ”

"What about the springs next to them?"

"Then bypass the spring," Ye Feng said, "The key is not to block the spring, otherwise it is better not to do it." ”

"This problem is solved, but there is another problem. Now these springs do not overflow because they can penetrate into the ground. But when we put stone slabs on all but the springs, the water will not penetrate well, and after a long time it will overflow and get everywhere. When the time comes......"

Seeing Ye Feng frowning, Chen Qianshan did not stop talking about his problems. If you don't deal with it now, it will always be a hidden danger in the future.

"In addition, no matter how clear this spring water is, there are more people coming, and it is estimated that it will be ...... after a long time."

I have to say that after working as a contractor for so long, Chen Qianshan is now exercising, and he looks like an expert in everything, and he has completely lost his original frizz and impulsiveness.

His problems are nothing more than two, one is that he is afraid that the water will overflow, and the other is that he is afraid that if there are too many people who wash it, the water will become dirty.

"It turns out that this is the problem, it's okay, in fact, what you said can be summed up as a problem, that is, liquidity. We could have dug another pool next to it and see how long it would take for the water in the slate-paved pools to overflow and fill our freshly hewn pools. ”

Looking at Chen Qianshan's surprised face, Ye Feng said, "My pottery pipes are ready, you can do it with confidence." ”

In this way, Chen Qianshan hurriedly did what Ye Feng said.

After digging the pit, he began to organize people to slowly draw the water out of the pool. He also took advantage of the lack of water to temporarily suppress the spring, and after making preparations, he placed the polished stone slabs one by one.

It's nice to do this job in the winter, after all, the temperature of this hot spring is really not low, and it should be very comfortable to soak in it.

However, it's summer, so it's not easy to do, and it's sweating at every turn.

Just when everything was going according to plan, Ye Feng learned another big news. This news came from Bai Zhixian from the capital, to the effect that the emperor's private visit to Weifu was delayed, because the queen mother and the crown prince were sick at the same time.

One is about filial piety, the other is about the future of the country, no matter which one it is, it is impossible for the emperor to travel at this moment.

While praying for the two, Ye Feng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. To say that they are already working overtime now, they still can't finish it. Now, it's okay to be in a little bit less rushed and just do it slowly.

When the emperor came up, he thought that the village in his mind had already been built.

And so it was, busy, busy, and soon it was November.

The second phase of the Chenjia Village project, that is, the projects in the forest, has been completed. Now, the road is being paved. As soon as the road is paved, it can be opened to traffic.

And once it is opened, it is actually a quarter of an hour's drive from the village.

The villas hidden in the forest are extremely beautiful, and the decoration is even more upscale than the Lotus Inn. And as soon as you go outside, you will find manicured woods and winding forest paths.

For those officials who have been in the cage for a long time, this is really a good place to get close to nature.

So, in addition to the reserved ones, these villas were sold out as soon as they were launched. The villagers of Chenjia Village were very surprised, but it was just a house built in the forest, why it was so popular.

However, they were naturally happy, because these villas were not cheap, a hundred and fifty taels. Excluding various costs, a villa can earn a hundred taels of silver. In other words, just by selling these villas, the village increased its income by 10,000 taels of silver.

Of course, there are actually 120 villas in the village. The remaining twenty sets are more luxurious and are intended for tourists who prefer to live in the woods.

However, although the locals are not very rare for these villas in the woods, they do like the twelve hot spring-themed hot spring estates.

According to Ye Feng's design, the craftsmen built a large mansion and surrounded all the hot springs on the mountain. However, when it was built, the ground was not bulldozed like a villa, but was built along the original slope of the hillside.

Therefore, these hot springs are not only under the trees, but also in the middle of the mountainside, and in the valleys. In short, this time, Ye Feng did not deliberately change its original topography.

However, no matter where you are, in order to protect the privacy of the bathers, these hot springs are built indoors and covered with light veils, so you can soak in the winter and feel very relaxed.

In addition, all the farms and workshops in the village have been moved to Qingzhu Village and Nanmu Village.

After these workshops and farms moved away, Ye Feng began to plant flowers and trees in the village, and added various public facilities. So much so that now the village can be called a step-by-step scene, and when you are tired, you have a place to sit, and it has truly become a livable place.

Therefore, some people have already suggested that the "Twelve Views of Chenjia Village" is outdated, because the village is now full of scenery, and everywhere is beautiful.

However, if we talk about the biggest project in the village, it can be regarded as a small stream in the village. This proposal was strongly rejected by all the villagers, including Ye Feng, but Chen Qianfan liked it very much.

Seeing this, Chen Jifa naturally wanted to come out to mediate. After deliberation, he felt that the silver was sufficient, so he tried his best to dig out the brook. At first glance, it's not bad, at least a bold design.

Here's the thing.

Although I don't know where the source is, there is actually a stream on the mountain behind Chenjia Village, so the flowers and trees on the mountain grow so well, and hot springs have appeared.

However, where is the source of this water source, Ye Feng has never found it.

And Chen Qianfan went to other places for a month to inspect because of the county order, and after he came back, he never forgot the place, because there was a small river in the village of that place, which passed through the village, and it looked very comfortable.

After coming back, thinking that there was such a stream in the mountain behind Chenjia Village, Chen Qianfan moved his mind.

However, most of the villagers were opposed, thinking that it would be a big problem to change the direction of the stream in such a hurry. Moreover, the roads in the village have all been repaired, and if the land is dug up to make it look like a stream, it will not only cost a lot, but it will also be quite cost-effective.

And it's easy to see the water, but there is a big lake in the village, which can be seen at any time, and it is much stronger than this stream.

Although he was an official and Chen Jifa was the village head, there were too many villagers who opposed it, and Chen Qianfan was not easy to make it difficult for others, so he found Ye Feng for help.

At the beginning, Ye Feng was also very opposed to this project. From the face of it alone, this project is really a waste of money and a lot of work. Although the emperor can't come for the time being, he can't toss like this.

But he couldn't stand Chen Qianfan's pleading, so he followed him to the mountain to check the stream.

There is a lot of water in this stream, but because of the direction of the stream, all of it is left in the mountain stream on the other side. But with a little guidance, the flow down the mountain is not a problem.

After all, Chenjiacun is in the lowlands.

However, if he wanted to dig a river in the village, Ye Feng felt that it was too much, and it was a waste of money and labor. There are tens of thousands of taels of silver in the village now, but this is the common property of the villagers, and it is not for Chen Qianfan to squander alone.

Finally, Chen Qianshan, who still has a lot of experience in architecture, said: "If you don't build it, it's best, if you have to build it, then change places and flow out from here." ”

As soon as Chen Qianshan's words were finished, Ye Feng immediately understood what he meant.

On the left-hand side of Chenjia Village is a forest that has not been developed at all. At the beginning, Ye Feng also considered ecological problems, and felt that if there were more trees, the greening rate in the village would be higher, and it would be more comfortable to live.

However, if Chen Qianfan has to build a river out, it is not impossible.

All you have to do is cut off a part of the forest, dig a valley in the middle of it, and then divert the water from the mountains and you're done.

If it is really built, when the time comes, rows of shops will be built on each side of the river, and then they will be sold, and then the need to dig the river will be earned.

Thinking of this, when Chen Qianfan came to ask Ye Feng for help again, Ye Feng did not immediately refuse, but said that if you wait, there are still some problems that have not been solved.

When Chen Qianfan heard this, he was overjoyed and felt that there was still room for negotiation in this matter.

Now the people in the village hold Ye Feng very high, as long as he agrees, it will naturally be no problem.

To put it mildly, that is, everyone blindly trusted Ye Feng's words, and even reached the point of worship.

When Ye Feng walked down this forest and came to the end, he found that there was actually a river outside, and he didn't know where it was going.

Now it's okay, Ye Feng doesn't have any doubts.

When Chen Qianfan came to the door again, Ye Feng said: "It can be repaired, but first, we have to find a few people who understand water conservancy to help and guide the whole process, so as not to have floods in the future." Second, you are responsible for making it clear to the villagers. ”

The first question is the simplest, he is now a county official, and there are many people in the county who understand water conservancy. As long as he says a word, I'm afraid that no one will come to help? As for the second question, it is not difficult, although he is now a county official, but he is a native of here, and everyone is familiar with it.

The most important thing is that, according to Ye Feng, this silver can still be earned. Since there is no loss, the villagers will naturally not object.

In this way, Chen Qianfan was moved by affection and reason, and finally moved the villagers and agreed with him to build this small stream, or big water canal, in the village.

Through Chen Qianfan's efforts, this creek has now been built. Although it is only about one meter wide, after Ye Feng's design, it looks quite beautiful.

Shops on both sides of the river began to be built.

Thinking of the flaws in the design of the commercial street, this time, the shops designed by Ye Feng are all with backyards, that is, the front two floors are shops, and the back is accommodation.

In order to let foreign businessmen have an intuitive impression of these shops under construction, Ye Feng ordered people to build one according to their own ideas, and then renovated it well and displayed it as a sample room.

In this way, it has caused quite a stir. Almost immediately, the merchants who saw the show room wanted to buy one of these shops.

Especially those who have not snapped up the shops in the commercial street before, and have always wanted to do business here, after Ye Feng announced that he could pay the silver in advance to register, he paid the silver and booked a building without saying a word.

Although they know in their hearts that if they regret it, the deposit will not be refunded.

However, they are not worried at all. So many years of experience show that the products produced by Chenjiacun must be high-quality. They believe that it will not be long before this will become another commercial street in Chenjia Village.

And the commercial street here is more beautiful, not only is it more atmospheric, but there is also a small stream flowing through it.

In the summer, there are tables and chairs set up by the river to sell some food, and I think many people will come to patronize it.

In this way, these shops have not yet been built, but they have all been sold out. This made the villagers admire Ye Feng even more.

And Chen Qianfan was naturally more anxious and proud, feeling that his vision was still good. Although the latter are all designed by Ye Feng, if there is no bold idea for him, there will be no new commercial street.

However, what he didn't know was that if he hadn't been a prefectural order, he wouldn't have been able to build it so quickly. How many people dug this stream day and night because of his face.

In addition, the three new seeds planted by Ye Feng have also been successful. The vines have grown slowly, but they have not yet borne fruit, and it is not yet known what variety.

As for the carrots, he gave all the about dozens of catties he received to Zhao's, and the new dishes he made were unexpectedly well received, and the business of Zhao's chicken shop exploded again.

There is also a watermelon, in order not to cause a sensation, he naturally didn't dare to take it out, but called Chen Jixing's family to help, cut the watermelon in advance, dug out the seeds, and then sent some to several families who had a good relationship.

Sun Yunxue's family naturally got a lot. When she ate this delicious watermelon, she didn't know what to say. Such an inconspicuous black seed can grow such a delicious fruit.

But she doesn't feel sorry for it, she can't plant it herself, and it's useless to get seeds. Second, Ye Feng said that the village will plant this watermelon on a large scale next year, and if you want to eat it, you can buy it.

Although it is five taels of silver to the outside, there will definitely be an internal price for people inside Chenjia Village to buy it. After so much, this is already everyone's consensus. Speaking of which, this should be what kind of benefit Ye Feng said.

And Chen Jifa has been stunned since he ate this watermelon, thinking how this thing is so delicious, and he can't wait to eat one every day. Therefore, he came to Ye Feng's house to sit and not leave, just to be able to eat a bite of watermelon.

In the end, Ye Feng had no choice but to invite him to the inner hall, directly cut a large watermelon in half, and let him eat it with a spoon. At the same time, just spit out the seeds and spit them into the pot.

Since he can't get rid of it, let him be a machine that takes seeds from human flesh. And over the years, he and Chen Jifa have cooperated very happily. He, as long as he holds him a little, he can actually say anything.

The point is, there's nothing inherently bad.

After all the seeds were harvested, Ye Feng took a look at it, and the watermelon seeds were the most. In this way, we can grow watermelons in many fields next year. There are not many carrots, at most two acres of land can be planted.

Moreover, these seeds also include the families in the village who have moved out of the farm, and they have to be divided somewhat.

As for the grape seedlings, they are too precious. He planted all those seeds according to what he had learned before, but the emergence rate was not as high as he imagined. And some died halfway through.

Now there are only 300 plants left. So much so that Ye Feng had to count the number of these saplings every day before he could sleep. These treasures, when they wait for a hanging fruit, will inevitably cause a rush to buy.

Fortunately, this year is just a trial seed, and only a few people know about it.

For next year's harvest, Ye Feng has already prepared the land in advance. Anyway, these things are new breeds, and outsiders have never seen them yet. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, it is better to plant it in his farmhouse.

The grapes are very unremarkable and cannot be seen until they bear fruit. The same goes for carrots, green seedlings are vegetables at first glance, and as long as you don't pull them up, you won't find the mystery below.

But watermelons are different, first they have to bloom, and then the fruit is also very large, and it is bare on the ground, so it is difficult not to attract attention.

However, planting in a farmhouse is different, and when the time comes, the watermelon planting area will be blocked and closed to the public for the time being.
