Chapter 166: New Territory
The people of Fan's Manor really have no experience in receiving the holy decree, although they come from later generations, but in the film and television dramas, almost all of the pictures of receiving the holy decree that Fan Jingjing saw were the model of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, and almost no one studied it in the longer period, because everyone just watched it for fun.
Only some professionals will shake their heads when watching film and television programs, but for most people who watch dramas, all they care about is the ups and downs of the plot, and as for background research, only some professionals will pay special attention to it.
Fortunately, Mrs. Niu was next to her, and after listening to Mrs. Niu's guidance, there was nothing wrong with her.
It's just that the eunuchs came to announce a holy decree, and the gift of gratitude seems to have received a lot, it seems that these eunuchs should be very fond of going out, in addition to shopping and watching the scenery, they don't have to be locked up in a palatial palace, and they can receive a lot of gifts when they are looked down upon.
According to Mrs. Niu, these are already conventional gifts.
I don't know how many holy decrees the emperor issued throughout the day, and the eunuchs sent out to publicize the holy decrees were a special department, or whether they sent someone out at random.
In court dramas, many of the characters sent out to announce the decree to the protagonist seem to be the great eunuchs beside the emperor.
The eunuch in front of him didn't seem to be very old, and his speech was not very solemn, he didn't seem to be the big eunuch next to the emperor, and they were very excited to see the gifts, and they didn't often come out to announce the holy decree, Fan Jingjing was very sad to find that she was not the protagonist of the times.
Fan Jingjing feels that she should be a very special existence, and she should be able to get a protagonist, but her life is not as ups and downs as the protagonist, and it is relatively smooth.
Thinking about it, it seems that the protagonist has to suffer a lot of bullying and encounter a lot of tribulations, so it's better to live a smooth life like now.
Finally sent the eunuch away, Fan Jingjing noticed the existence of Mrs. Niu, for Mrs. Niu, she felt that when she was a junior, she always made her think of the fact that she was bullied by Niu Shijin, which was the last thing she wanted to think about since she crossed over, but now her stomach has slowly spit out, and there are Mrs. Niu's eyes, always looking at her stomach, which makes her have to remember.
But she was now an earl, although she had not yet put on her clothes, and she was also an earl, not even a countess, but an earl.
As for the clothes, there is no dress for her in the palace yet.
Because of an earl, but in the past, he was always a boy, but Fan Jingjing is a girl, and she can't always dress exactly like a man.
So some designs must be changed, there are no clothes that have been made in the palace, not to mention that the clothes to be worn by Fan Jingjing must also be tailor-made, of course, Fan Jingjing can also make them herself, and then let the official review pass the wear.
In this way, you can choose your own fabric instead of the official fabric, but the government's regulations are quite strict, and you must ask before you can cut the fabric yourself to make it.
"Congratulations to Master Fan."
Mrs. Niu's husband, although the title is higher than Fan Jingjing, and he himself has been named a wife, but if he is named a wife, he cannot be awarded an official position of the same level as her husband if he does not have much merit.
Most of the time, although it is an honor to be windy, but in addition to comparing women with women, few women will compare with men, although Fan Jingjing is a woman, but she is a man's official.
Fortunately, this time there is a lady not for the child in Fan Jingjing's belly, the most important thing is that she wants to express her gratitude, she has heard from Niu Yingxiu's mouth that Niu Shijin's life has been preserved, with Liu Yixiu's life, it is not too difficult to let the next woman have a child in the future, so if you don't offend Fan Jingjing, you can only grind slowly. I can't get angry with Fan Jingjing.
After several contacts with Fan Jingjing, I also found that Fan Jingjing's thinking mode seems to be different from that of ordinary Tang people, maybe people from Shuiyun Palace have a very different thinking mode from ordinary Tang people, but basic etiquette, Fan Jingjing will still study hard and recognize the norms of society.
As long as Fan Jingjing acknowledges the social norms of the Tang Dynasty, Niu Shijin will have the opportunity to marry the little lady home, and more importantly, Mrs. Niu finds that the current Fan Jingjing works hard to run the Fan family manor, and seems to have little interest in men.
In Mrs. Niu's eyes, it seems that Fan Jingjing is trying to survive, even if she has so many people around her, she has not stopped trying to survive.
Fan Jingjing, who is trying to survive, looks very strong and tough, but her appearance is weak. It was Mrs. Niu who realized that Fan Jingjing's heart was also weak, not as strong as she appeared.
"I came here today to thank you for your rescue of my child, if you hadn't helped me in the past, according to my husband, even if he could come back, he would have been disabled."
"That's what I'm supposed to do, I admit he's the father of my children, and it's going to be very painful if my children don't grow up to see their father.
He can't be safely by his father's side, and he can't let his father's death be unclear, at least let him know that his father's death is meaningful.
Now his reputation is not enough to make his children proud of him. ”
In fact, Fan Jingjing's eyes kept looking at Mrs. Niu's side, because Mrs. Niu's side had a long list of big cars and small cars, which looked like a dragon, and each car was very heavy.
But Niu Feiling didn't mention what was behind her, and Fan Jingjing didn't want to ask questions, although she was also very curious, she didn't think that so many things would be gifts for her, but recently did the Fan family manor want to do business with the Fan family manor?
Before the business began to negotiate, the things were shipped over, and they were too confident, did they want to buy and sell by force?
"In the past few days, with the help of Lord Fan, we have kept a lot of food, and we have also used this food to provide relief for work, and we have renovated a lot of buildings for our manor, and there are also many workers to build waterwheels and other equipment, which I would never have imagined before.
It can be said that we have done good deeds and saved a lot of money.
But we know that the changes here in the Fan family manor are greater, more manpower is needed, and the grain has always been tight, although there are businessmen from other places who continue to bring in the grain, but the Fan family manor has not had much grain in stock. ”
Since Fan Jingjing went out, the prince and princess did not go to school in this place, so Fan Jingjing's Fan family manor has already begun to harvest, and there are many things that are harvested, and the outside does not know.
You must know that these princes and princesses don't know the hidden secrets, and because Fan Jingjing does not prevent the princes and princesses from participating in production, the princes and princesses will always take these news back and tell their mothers that when their mothers occasionally have people from their mother's family come over, they will also tell others what the princes and princesses have seen, so the secrets here can't be maintained, so the Fan family manor is equivalent to a ventilated wall during the period when the prince and princess are in school, and Fan Jingjing does not stop it.
As for the workshops that require secrecy, they are often only visible to those who work, and not known to others.
These people were all selected by Fan Jingjing.
And when their fields are harvested, the yield they get is dozens of times the average farmland yield of Datang, although they know how many fields Fan Jingjing has planted, but they don't know that Fan Jingjing's grain harvest has skyrocketed a lot.
Fan Jingjing didn't put these grains into the disaster relief work in other places, because the taste of these grains is really good, Fan Jingjing even suspects that the nutritional value of these grains will be relatively high, but there is no scientific means to verify it, maybe the prince and princess can learn how to verify it, but Fan Jingjing is a little worried about the means of these scientific experiments, she doesn't seem to know how to do it.
Therefore, all the people in the Fan family manor now eat their own new grain, and all the old grain is used for disaster relief.
Because of the lack of grain, the Fan family manor did not stop sowing the new season of grain, according to the time of their grain harvest, they can actually get three harvests, but the time is relatively tight, must immediately complete the harvest as soon as possible, and then sow as soon as possible, before sowing the seedlings must be raised.
Datang's fields are basically in the Guanzhong area, and they can only achieve one harvest a year, and although the types of planting are different, the production volume is dozens of times that much, which is a very bright achievement for them.
Although the Fan family manor did not hold a celebration party immediately when the harvest was completed, when Fan Jingjing went back, they sang and danced all night, because for them they worked hard during the day, and they were reluctant to waste more time to make money, and in the campfire party, singing and dancing had a more atmosphere, so that the people of the entire Fan family manor were more condensed into a force.
The so-called atmosphere of a group, in fact, slowly formed in these little things, Fan Jingjing gave them food at the beginning, and finally cultivated their courage to move upward, and now they have a good harvest when they work hard, they know that they can have so many gains brought by Fan Jingjing, so they admire Fan Jingjing even more.
They don't think that the money they receive is the money they should take, but often store the point card on Sun Erlang's side, so that Fan Jingjing can use it at will, if Fan Jingjing feels that it should be used for relief, it can be used for relief, which industry should be developed, even if nothing is given to them in return, they take it for granted.
Although the holy decree was sent to Fan Jingjing, the ownership certificate of these lands still needed to be handled by Fan Jingjing.
Without Mrs. Niu's guidance, it is estimated that there are really not many people in the Fan family manor who know how to handle it. It's not just that they don't grow wise, the manor will grow stronger and stronger in the wind and rain, and now they are ignorant children, but after they learn and grow up one by one, they will make more use of the knowledge they have learned.
After Mrs. Niu told Fan Jingjing all the knowledge and common sense, she told Fan Jingjing that all he brought was food, and he was going to fund her to develop Fanjia Town in the form of OEM.
Even she took the initiative to invest in some properties in the Fan family's manor, she knew that Fan Jingjing would not give her the field next to her to cultivate, Fan Jingjing's ability to start a family is farming.
But she knew that Fan Jingjing's planning of Fanjia Town had so-called residential areas, industrial areas, forestry areas, and agricultural areas, and Mrs. Niu's head had obviously not yet been turned into cement heads, and she was very interested in the concept of industrial zones proposed by Fan Jingjing.
The reward given by the emperor to Fan Jingjing includes this piece of land in Fanjia Town, and in the name of this reward, Fanjia Town and the surrounding land can be said to be completely in Fan Jingjing's sphere of influence.
It seems that the emperor also saw that Fan Jingjing had the ability to turn waste into treasure, so the emperor was simply half-jokingly handed over part of the Qinling Mountains to Fan Jingjing to deal with.
Fan Jingjing did not refuse the new donation of Mrs. Niu, and he also knew that the more food around him, the more people he could save and give more people enough to eat.
If there is more food, you can go to the city to exchange with others for some materials needed by the Fan family manor, food is now hard currency, even if the price of grain in Chang'an has been controlled, but the food controlled by the family is the same hard currency, and now everyone wears a bag of grain when they go out, instead of going out with money to buy things.
"So much grain means that we can store more to reclaim for us."
"It's time to plant seedlings this season, but now it's not as dry as paddy fields, and you have to weed and prepare the land before you can start planting."
"Not only that, but we also had to build the entire irrigation facility so that we could divert water from the river next to it. Since the Wei River flows past us, we must not waste our water, or it will all flow into the sea.
There are many ways to drink water from the river, and if you choose a suitable one, you won't run out of water. ”
"The water level of the Wei River has also dropped a lot, and there is no way to bring water up to the usual waterwheels."
"This year's drought is quite severe, and we can use this year as a basis to design a waterwheel. The deeper the water is diverted, the larger the water wheel will be.
The Niu family manor can also use this time to dig the rivers and ponds in the manor a little deeper. ”
Niu Jingjing knew that there was a big pond in the Niu family manor, so there was no problem of water shortage, not to mention, the pond in the Niu family manor was still a relatively mysterious pond, after all, she traveled from modern times to the Tang Dynasty and entered the pond in the Niu family manor.
Fan Jingjing even thinks that the water polo may have something to do with the pond in the Niu family's manor.
Mrs. Niu said a lot of words of thanks, Fan Jingjing and Mrs. Niu have never had much to say, mainly because she was too awkward.
Because Niu Shijin has always lacked an apology. Although the other party has made compensation, Niu Shijin never felt that there was anything wrong with it in his heart.
