Chapter 063: Manor
At this moment, the paper workshop was densely crowded, and the shirtless men were walking in a hurry, and they were not idle for a moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Chang led them around, and saw that the pond was being built, carrying water, splitting bamboo, and then tidying up, and putting it into the pool according to the number in the plan, and there were two petty officials guarding each step, so as to save mistakes.
Finally, he came to the square where the bamboo was placed, looking at the fresh bamboo like a mountain, Chen Chang asked Hou Ruifeng, "Shangxian, do you think there is a mistake?"
"No, you're doing a good job, but can you use up so much bamboo?"
"It doesn't matter, the pool is always being built, it's no problem to store a little more. ”
But this is too much, and it is estimated that it is not as much as half.
Hou Ruifeng muttered in his heart, a little speechless about the methods of this kind of local tyrant, but it didn't matter to him.
The prince has been here several times, and there is no novelty at all at this time, and when he heard Hou Ruifeng's words, he said, "Then can we leave now?"
"Wait. ”
The weather is much better at the moment, it's time to play, and there is a big ship for them to use, so it's still early to go back.
"Let's go fishing first, the water quality here is good, it's much wider than the lake waves in front of the villa, it is estimated that there are a lot of big fish, don't you think the prawns are delicious? Then find someone to catch it." ”
Hou Ruifeng rubbed his hands, called the guard who had been silently carrying a backpack behind him, and gave a piece of toffee to each of the few people around him, and the guard also had it, and then took out the fishing rod and prepared to fish.
He now has a lot more experience, and knows that he doesn't need a long rod to catch big fish, but it's a pity that the fish are a little monotonous.
The crown prince and King Qi could only follow helplessly, they also wanted to pull Hou Ruifeng to the self-added mansion, looking at the current style, it is impossible, because their mansion is in Dongshi, and this is the closest to the palace, and it is estimated that they can only return to the palace at night, and it is impossible to run so far.
The two were very disappointed.
However, Hou Ruifeng was very correct in what he said, the two were very satisfied with the taste of the shrimp and shrimp balls, and turned their heads to let Ye Xiang find someone to collect them.
Chen Chang got the answer he wanted, so he didn't accompany the three of them to the boat, but took another boat and left.
It wasn't until the evening that Hou Ruifeng returned to the palace with his harvest, although he brought the luminous float and lights, which was enough for three nights, but the weather was bad today, and he was not in the villa, so he didn't take it out.
"Let's have a whole fish feast today. Back at the palace, Hou Ruifeng said to Ye Xiang, "You know how to use the seasoning, and the sauerkraut fish is the same as last time." ”
Seeing Ye Xiang nodding and writing it down, he asked, "Where is Lao Cao?"
Hearing Hou Ruifeng's title, Ye Xiang said strangely: "The emperor is in the study, and I will lead the immortal over." ”
"Then we won't go, let's go to find the queen mother, and the banquet was also held in the palace last time. The prince said from the side.
"Okay. ”
Waiting for Hou Ruifeng to turn around and leave, the prince and King Qi walked in the direction of the harem, muttering all the way, with a strange look on their faces, not knowing what they were discussing, which made the eunuchs and palace maids who saw the two of them a little frightened.
"Immortals, please come in. ”
There were a few eunuchs waiting outside Cao Fu's study, and when they saw Hou Ruifeng coming over, they didn't even ask for instructions, so they let him in directly. Ye Xiang turned around and left, and went to the imperial dining room with the spices given by Hou Ruifeng, he had heard more from Hou Ruifeng now, and knew the uses of various flavors, so some of them needed to be explained in person.
Cao Fu was sitting on the back chair and was busy correcting the recital, when he saw Hou Ruifeng walking in, he got up with a smile on his face and said, "Shangxian is still having fun today?"
"It's okay, it's just that you can't get into the mountain when it's raining. ”
"The road is too bad, forgive me. ”
Cao Fu pondered for a while, watched Hou Ruifeng sit on a beautifully made sofa with hollow patterns and beasts everywhere, and said: "In a few days, let the lonely people repair the road leading to the mountain villa in the eastern capital, so that the immortals can go back and forth at any time without being affected by the rain." ”
Lao Cao is really willing to spend the money!
It's just that ordinary roads are not very useful, and they are not easy to repair, Hou Ruifeng gave a thumbs up and said, "Wait a few days, and then talk about it after I come over next time, I will give you a material recipe for building a house and repairing roads, and the roads built will be as smooth as stone slabs." ”
Cao Fu didn't expect that there would be unexpected benefits, and suddenly walked to Hou Ruifeng's side and sat down in surprise, "Thank you for this, thank you for this, by the way, there are some gems here, do you still need it?" Fortunately, there were many merchants in the Eastern Capital, and under his secret authorization to Wu Cheng to inquire and buy, he got a few good quality gems.
"Let's take a look at it when we have time. ”
Hou Ruifeng has nothing to buy now, and the printer is on the right track, so he doesn't need to pay special attention, and he doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy it directly, after all, the shipment rate of those factories is not high, even if it is the full amount, you need to wait, it is better like this.
And he's concerned about something else now.
He glanced at the two eunuchs who were waiting for Cao Fu on the side. Cao Fu was stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "You go out first." ”
"No. ”
When the two of them went out, Hou Ruifeng asked, "Lao Cao, do you have any vacant land here, I want to grow a little food, it's for you." ”
Then he paused and continued, "One acre of land can produce about 400 catties." "There is no chemical fertilizer used here, and even high-yielding seeds can't do anything, so Hou Ruifeng said that the yield below a level is not ugly.
"What!400 pounds!"
Cao Fu was shocked, the best field around the Eastern Capital is to harvest about three stones of millet, more than 20 buckets, converted to 300 catties, the usual less than two stones, and one acre of land can produce four stones of land that is properly auspicious.
"Is this true?" Cao Fu couldn't believe it.
"Of course, what did I lie to you about. Hou Ruifeng naturally knew how lethal food was in ancient times, "But for the time being, I don't know what kind of seeds can be planted here with you, you find some people who are very good at farm work, and the next time I come over, I will bring the seeds, so I will plant 100 acres first." ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Cao Fu nodded with a smile, the tiredness on his face was swept away, it seems that his original decision was really right, he contacted Shangxian first, and now not only does the country have no big things, but also has obtained papermaking technology, and he will soon be able to get a technology for building a road and the most important seed.
"This is a brand new plant, none of you have ever seen it, about the same as the Shu millet, but it bears a big I stick. Hou Ruifeng described it.
Now is the time to grow corn, and corn is easy to store, so there are still big killers like sweet potatoes and potatoes, but it's better to experiment first.
"Lone understands, Lone understands. Cao Fu nodded like a chicken eating rice, and carefully wrote down Hou Ruifeng's words.
Then he said, "Shangxian rest assured, Gu must send soldiers to take care of it, by the way, there is an imperial village not far from the villa, where there are hundreds of acres of land, which can be used by Shangxian." ”
Even if 400 catties are produced in good fields, and it is much less in ordinary fields, but Cao Fu calculates according to what he knows, it is more than 200 catties, which is as much as the output of high-quality fields, so calculated, how much more grain can be obtained that year, if there is this food, the affairs of the army will be much easier, even if Liu Ding and Sun Qing's lives are spared, it is not a big deal, after all, he has occupied the rich Central Plains.
"Well, I'll take a look when the weather is good, you can find someone first, the field needs to be turned over, and it must be deeply cultivated. Hou Ruifeng said that he felt a little painful, he forgot to write down the modern plow, but fortunately it doesn't matter much, even if it is a wooden plow at this time, anyway, it is to find a few more people, find a few more cows, and then bring the drawings over, but I'm afraid that the steel will not be enough.
Hou Ruifeng thought about it, he didn't say anything about steel, and now even if he said it, he can't do anything, he is not an industrial party, he doesn't know anything about blast furnaces and mining, so let's check the information later.
Then Hou Ruifeng carefully told the details of the preparation he knew, he had been exposed to a lot of field knowledge when he was a child, and he liked to buy some boiled and eat when the corn was just ripe, the taste was really sweet and delicious.
But since it is going to be planted, it can't be planted with just one, Hou Ruifeng calculated in his heart.
Peppers and tomatoes must be planted, and when the time comes, there will be fresh ones to eat, and you can't bring them with you every time you come, and they are also dry, and classic dishes such as stir-fried meat with green peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes can't be wasted.
Chinese cabbage is also planted, and in winter there are side dishes for hot pot.
Eggplant and leeks are also brought over, and grilled eggplant and roasted leeks are the top treat!
But didn't the Han Dynasty already have leeks? Why didn't you see it?
Hou Ruifeng thought about it, so he diverged his thoughts to eating, and his eyebrows fluttered for a while, and Cao Fu was very strange when he saw it, thinking that he was doing it for corn.
But Cao Fu didn't bother Hou Ruifeng, and let him slowly build a large manor planting plan of several hundred acres of land in his heart.
"Forget it, you can find more people, I will plant those hundreds of acres of land with plants, some are vegetables, not food, but the yield is amazing, can be stored in winter, and when I have time, I can also find a place in the side hall to get a greenhouse, and I can eat fresh vegetables in winter." Hou Ruifeng thought about it for a long time, and finally planned a plan, "The vegetables you eat in winter are grown around the hot springs, right?"
This is what he knows from reading the novel, and it is not clear whether it is true or not, so he can ask now.
"Yes, but only a little. Cao Fu said, "I don't eat as much as I eat in 10 days for a few months." ”
"Then you have no problem eating every meal this winter, and there are a lot more varieties. ”
