Chapter 002 Reclamation of land

"Zizhu, is Madam up?"

Amethyst entered the inner courtyard and instructed the little girl to find a celadon long-necked vase, poured mountain spring water, and then inserted the peach blossoms into it. As soon as the little girl interjected, Amethyst saw Zizhu coming over with the account book, so she asked with a light smile.

"Back to the housekeeper's aunt, Mrs. has just gotten up and is leading Yuan Niang to practice dancing in the back mountain."

When Zizhu was in the capital, she followed Amethyst to learn to settle accounts, and she always regarded her as a sister or master in her heart, and often respected her as a 'sister'.

After following his wife to Peach Blossom Island after this year, his wife handed over some trivial matters at home to Sister Amethyst to take care of, and the subordinates of the family and the tenants outside kept calling Sister Amethyst 'housekeeper'.

Later, when Mrs. heard about it, she just smiled and didn't refute it, so everyone was even more convinced that Sister Amethyst was the housekeeper of the Peach Blossom Island Palace.

Later, when Zizhu followed Amethyst to the field to distribute mountain spring water, she happened to hear the peasant woman call Amethyst's sister 'Lady Housekeeper', and the little girl couldn't stop laughing on the spot.

"You ghost girl, learn to joke about my sister? It's time to fight! Amethyst heard Zizhu's name, and reached out to twist Zizhu's white and tender face with a smile, and whispered.

"Oh, the housekeeper is powerful, let's run quickly!"

Zizhu saw that Sister Amethyst laughed again, and she was also very happy, so she pretended to hold the account book even more and ran into the main hall with a smoke.

"This girl!"

Amethyst was very helpless about the appearance of the purple plant elf and ghost, she looked at the clever back of the little girl, shook her head with a slight smile, and walked in.

On the slope of the mountain behind the main courtyard, Wang Qifang led the little girl to do yoga calmly.

The little girl and a big turtle were lying on the side boredly, yawning while watching the strange performance of the mother and daughter in front of them.

"Hey, master, the little turtle said that it found a small island in the southeast of Peach Blossom Island, although the area is not large, only half of Peach Blossom Island, but there is a freshwater lake on it, and there is a lot of dirt land."

Finally seeing that Wang Qifang and Xiaoya had completed a set of actions, and closed their eyes and made movements to close the momentum, Xiao Yan hurriedly sat up straight and said in a somewhat inviting tone.

"Oh? Found a small desert island again? ”

Wang Qifang breathed a long sigh of relief, then opened her eyes, got up and picked up a cotton towel hanging on the branch, first wiped the sweat of the little girl, and then put a small jacket on her, and then turned around and chatted with the little girl while wiping the sweat.

"No, and the little turtle said that the island is not far from Peach Blossom Island, so you can fill in the middle with stones and turn the two islands into one." The little girl jumped to Wang Qifang's side, craned her neck and said, "Just like we did before, reclamation from the sea, so that Peach Blossom Island will become bigger and more people can live." ”

The 'reclamation of land' mentioned by Xiao Liang is Wang Qifang's experiment some time ago.

That day, she finished rectifying the Zheng family, and watched her being escorted to Jingshui Nunnery by the old lady's people, so she took Mama Zhao back to Peach Blossom Island to pick up the three children, and then the group returned to the capital.

As a result, after returning to the capital, Wang Qifang found that she was a little uncomfortable with the noise of the capital and complicated interpersonal interactions.

Especially the news of her marriage to Li Jingtian has come out, and many wealthy families in Beijing have posted that they invite her to come over to enjoy the plum blossoms today, and invite her to the house for a banquet tomorrow...... If you want to refuse, the other party is a well-known family in the capital, and she has a relationship with the Wang family or the Li family, so she is really embarrassed to refuse directly.

Alas, in desperation, she had to go to appointments every day, which made her tired all day, wearing a mask with a smirk, and welcoming the two cheeks to cramp with laughter, and even had no time to play with the children, it was too painful.

In addition to the invitation of these famous families, there is also attention from the palace, on the one hand, the third princess and the ninth princess, they don't seem to be very happy about Wang Qifang and Li Jingtian's marriage, when Wang Qifang went to visit them, the two princesses were also faint, and between the words, there was even a little dissatisfaction, which made Wang Qifang feel always uneasy in her heart;

On the other hand, it is Zheng Guifei's unwarranted overture, although she knows that Wang Qifang has already made a marriage and it is impossible to marry a certain brother of their Zheng family, but Zheng Guifei's interest in Wang Qifang has not diminished at all, either sending someone to reward a piece of jewelry today, or asking Princess Jingwei to give Wang Qifang a post, putting on a positive attitude of taking the initiative to make friends, which makes Wang Qifang tired at the same time, but also more worried - nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

In addition to the occasional harassment of these outsiders, there are also regular visits from some members of the Zhao family.

Sometimes it's Aunt Zheng, under the pretext of going to relatives, every once in a while she goes to Ping'an Fang to be a guest, come and come, every time she comes, she also says some strange things, what Mrs. Wang's Zheng is not familiar with her, the Zheng family is not familiar with Zheng's viciousness, and the head of the Zheng family also spoke, sincerely inviting Wang Qifang to have time to go to the Zheng family as a guest, etc.

Sometimes it is a few personal mothers-in-law around Mrs. Zhao, under the banner of sending things to Miss Sun and Young Master Sun, and often come to Ping'anfang to harass Wang Qifang's mother and son. Of course, these mothers-in-law have limited identities, and they can't and dare not say anything arrogant, but with Wang Qifang behind their backs, they will still mumble something with their three children, especially the first year.

Wang Qifang disdains to understand Mrs. Zhao's thoughts, so she doesn't have a good face for those mothers-in-law, and often sends them out coldly.

For these mothers-in-law, Wang Qifang can pull down her face, but some people, Wang Qifang is not good at doing too much. These people refer to Zhao Tianqing's two sisters, especially Zhao Chuniang, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, who often puts on the face of an elder, runs to Yuan Niang to preach something, and every time she makes the little girl very unhappy, and once she cried Yuan Niang Xun... But Wang Qifang couldn't say anything yet. After all, Xiaoya's surname is Zhao, and Zhao Chuniang is Xiaoya's aunt, and she is also a righteous elder......

All kinds of troubles, all kinds of trivial matters, so that Wang Qifang and the three children are a little unbearable, if it is not for the upcoming New Year, Xiaoxin Ge'er, the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, will also participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, Wang Qifang would have already left the capital with the three children.

It was easy to get to the New Year, and it was the Lantern Festival, Wang Qifang didn't care about the dozen invitations in her hand, and hurriedly asked people to pack her luggage, bring amethyst and purple plants, and a few powerful people, and hurried out of the capital.

After rushing back to Peach Blossom Island all the way, looking at the sincere smiles of the tenants and the wheat seedlings dotted in the field, Wang Qifang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whew, she finally returned to her own territory.

It's a pity that Wang Qifang is destined to be a hard life, she just breathed a sigh of relief here, and before she could sit down and rest, trouble came again.

This time she left the capital, Wang Qifang brought some people with her, and along the way she received seven or eight unemployed dart masters, these people did not come alone, all of them were a large family with their families and followed Wang Qifang.

In addition, the refugees that Li Jingtian helped her recruit also came in one stream, and the population increased dramatically, but the area of Peach Blossom Island is limited, especially this island was originally a desert island, on the island of several hundred acres, barren mountains and rocky gangs account for most of it, and then put aside the more than 200 acres of fields that have been reclaimed, there is almost no place for people to live on Peach Blossom Island.

It's overcrowded, but people are dragging their families to Wang Qifang, and she can't just leave people aside because she has no place.

Wang Qifang sat depressedly on the treasure boat, looking at her island for a long time, and finally thought of a way - reclamation of land.

In previous lives, many countries had done this, especially the famous island nation, which had acquired nearly 160,000 square kilometers of land from the ocean, and the total area of their country was only 370,000.

Different from her previous life, Wang Qifang's reclamation was to collect small islands near Peach Blossom Island, fill in stones and soil between Peach Blossom Island and the small islands, and then expand the area of Peach Blossom Island little by little.

Of course, this project is relatively large, and it needs the assistance of a marine veteran.

After the search of Xiao Liang and his apprentices, Wang Qifang really found some large reefs and small desert islands near Peach Blossom Island, and she was busy asking Xiao Liang to mark the specific location, and then use Peach Blossom Island as the base point to stretch out to the inner side of the sea.

Why not the outside?

Wang Qifang has also considered this issue, since she is destined to marry a rebel leader as a lady, then the safety of her and her children is the primary consideration.

Well, Peach Blossom Island is her refuge and base, as long as Peach Blossom Island is getting farther and farther away from the mainland, or even hanging alone, isn't it safer?

With this kind of thinking, Wang Qifang's next plan is more purposeful. On the one hand, she worked hard to expand the area of Peach Blossom Island, and on the other hand, she consciously shifted the location of Peach Blossom Island slowly, transporting all the stones on the rocky hill on the south side of Peach Blossom Island and filling it into the sea area on the east side, so that her island could be farther and farther away from the dock in Xihai County.

Through Wang Qifang's planned operation and Xiao's active cooperation, in the past month, the area of Peach Blossom Island has extended to the East China Sea by nearly 100 acres.

Little girl, since she appeared in Wang Qifang's space, this is the first time she has taken it so seriously to do something, it is simply to take land reclamation as its business to do, every day with a group of little brothers, sneak into the East China Sea, search around for huge reefs or islands, no, the turtles sent out two days ago finally came back, and brought back a good news.

"Well, you're right, we're going to work hard to expand the area of Peach Blossom Island," Wang Qifang nodded, pulling Xiaoya and slowly walking down the mountain, saying as she walked, "You take the turtle back to the space first, mark the location of the island on the map of the space, and I'll take the treasure boat to the sea in the afternoon to see ...... in person."
