The slopes of the east of Beigou Village are continuous, the mountain is relatively gentle, Huaxi enters the mountain from here, and the rain for many days has increased the water flow of Huaxi, and the sound of the water is louder than usual.

In the drizzle, rows of neat peonies planted on dozens of acres of undulating hillsides stand quietly in the rain, which is quite spectacular. Lan Yi followed behind Zhao Lizheng, looking at such a scenery and full of pride, this is her hillside, it is the place where she started, and it is the soil where her plan is turned into reality step by step. Although the economic value of the peonies on the hillside became smaller and smaller as her business grew, it did not stop her from loving the land.

"Second brother, two years ago it was still a barren slope here, and it's only been three years of hard work, so it's neat!" Zhao Li was looking at the hillside and sighed.

Second Uncle Wang looked at the neat peony, his love and pride were even more than Lan Yi's, "Yes! If it weren't for Wei Ji's daughter-in-law who proposed to plant peonies at that time, how could we have imagined that this flower that can only be pampered in the garden and rare can also be planted in such a way, which is a lot of harvest compared to the best paddy fields! ”

The hard work of planting peonies, the difficulty of raising money everywhere, and the excitement of harvesting peony seeds, the same Second Uncle Wang remembers clearly, if it weren't for Lan Yi, how could there be today.

Speaking of the harvest, Zhao Lizheng smiled even more, and he looked at the large piece of peony planted by their brothers on the large hillside connected to Xia Wan's peony, "Thanks to you, my peony has also seen the money back this year, and it will be called Shangjing another day, so we can have a few cups." ”

The price of peony seeds has risen a lot this year, and Zhao Lizheng is naturally very happy to sell silver.

"This year, we can harvest peony seeds and sell them for money. This is not my credit, or for Yang, there are many people you know, and you can get peonies to plant in two or three years. "Second Uncle Wang doesn't take credit. Unlike Niu Sister-in-law and Zhou Weipeng, the plants are Lan Yi, they use peony seeds to cultivate seedlings, Zhao Lizheng ran around after opening up the wasteland, looking for a lot of two or three-year-old purple spots and Fengdan two varieties of peonies that can be residued, according to Zhao Shangjing and Wang Linxi's instructions, in order to harvest seeds this year.

"Hehe, the second brother will laugh at me!" Zhao Lizheng laughed even louder, opening up the wasteland to plant peonies, not only brought benefits to himself. The imperial court had encouraged the cultivation of wasteland, but the hard work of clearing the wasteland was too great and the harvest was small, so the villagers would rather go to the city to do odd jobs than open up the wasteland. But because I saw that I could make money by planting peonies in the wasteland, the slopes on the north, south and east sides of Beigou Village have now been bought out by everyone, which is a great good thing.

As the original Li Zheng of Beigou, a poor village, he was originally the most unconfident one among the nearby villages. It's different now. The county convened a meeting of the Li Zheng, and he was an advanced representative, and his waist was the straightest. Zhao Lizheng is taking advantage of the heat to find an errand for his eldest son Zhao Liangxiu to be accepted by the grain department official in the county, and this matter has already been recognized. If his son can go to the county on an errand, this is a great thing, and if you count your youngest son's reading, you will be worth it in your life if you can win the title of the Longmen Gold List in the future!

Thinking so. Zhao Lizheng smiled even more heartily, for the sake of the future of his two sons. He has to deal with the big and small affairs in the village, and he can't drop the chain at this critical time.

The Castle Peak Inn is different from the small inns in the city, which is just a small building with two or three floors. Danyuan covers a large area, they built the inn is also for the convenience of the guests to enjoy the flowers and rest, based on this purpose, and in line with the principle of integration with the simplicity of the mountain village, the inn is more than one person high wooden stake as the wall, enclosed up more than four acres of a piece, after the wooden door enters the main hall of the inn dining in a row of three rooms, a two-storey small building on the left and right for the guests to stay, there are five elegant single courtyards behind the main hall, respectively, in the name of the snow suit, the clouds, the incense, the heavenly wind, the green jade in the poems written by the Qingshan guest, it is the must-see place for the people who come to visit the Qingshan guest. In addition, it is a must-have place for inns such as kitchens, stables, and firewood rooms.

Walking down in such a circle, Lan Yi, Zhao Lizheng, and Second Uncle Wang returned to the main hall and sat down, and the steward Li Ying waited beside him, and instructed Xiao Er to serve tea.

"How many guests are currently living in the inn?" Lan Yi asked Li Ying.

Steward Zhang hurriedly replied: "Now there are twenty-three guests who live in the inn, all of whom are scholars who have come from study tours, and some are relatives from the village and merchants who go to the village to sell goods. ”

Lan Yi was a little surprised, she didn't expect that there were so many people, and she had just met less than ten people, thinking that these scholars were studying behind closed doors.

Zhao Lizheng listened to this number, he was also stunned, he didn't expect that there were so many guests in the inn, it is common for people in the village to have relatives come to live for two days, and they used to be borrowed to live in other people's homes, but now there is an inn in the village, and people with some conditions will book a house for their relatives in the inn, which saves people and has face in front of relatives, killing two birds with one stone, so the existence of Qingshan Inn is also convenient for the people in the village. The merchants who go to the village to sell goods originally carried the goods wherever they go, and the surrounding villages have the best Qingshan Inn, and the fee is not too expensive, so they will rest here.

"How did they get to live?"

Li Ying then replied, "Four of the five detached courtyards are full, and the rest of the guests are arranged in the left building. "Da Zhou is respected on the left, and the guests are arranged in the building on the left first, one is customary, and the other is arranged in one building is also convenient.

Lan Yi nodded, and discussed with Zhao Lizheng and Second Uncle Wang, "Uncle Weiyang, Second Uncle, what do you see?" ”

Zhao Lizheng had a score in his heart, turned his head and asked Second Uncle Wang, "Second brother, what do you see, can it be done?" ”

Second Uncle Wang nodded and proposed, "Wei Ji's family, why don't you vacate the building on the right side and let the master teach the children for the time being?" ”

Lan Yi nodded again, Zhao Lizheng also thought so, and the three of them ordered, "It's best to be like this, let's go back, I'll go to Yixue to discuss with Master Yang first, and tomorrow I will convene a meeting of the people in the village to discuss and set a rule, if it can be done, let's talk about how to move." ”

Yang Fuzi is the longest-running master in Yixue, and he is also the oldest, in addition to teaching, he also manages some things of Yixue, to put it bluntly, he is the principal of Yixue.

"It's fine. Wei Ji's family, I'll go back with you for Uncle Yang first. Seeing that it had been booked, Second Uncle Wang knew that Lan Yi would still have something to tell Steward Zhang, so he stood up and said.

Lan Yi sent them away and called Li Ying to see the small building on the right. There are not many Lan Yi here in the inn, and they are all handed over to Steward Zhang to take care of, and Steward Zhang was specially selected by her from Qingshan Shangji, and it is very easy to use.

Lan Yi casually pushed open room 37 and walked in. The sorting of rooms in the inn is based on the common sorting method of the Da Zhou Inn, that is, the thousand-character text sorting.

Zhou Xingsi of the Southern Dynasty was ordered by the emperor to select 1,000 characters from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and compile the "Thousand Character Text", which not only has a high status in the calligraphy world of later generations, but also becomes the book of Mongolian learning in later generations. Also because there is no repetition of the thousand words in the text, the order of the inn room number is often arranged in the order of the words of the "Thousand Character Text".

When Lan Yi opened an inn, she felt troublesome when she saw such a brand, so it was better to call it directly on No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, but she still listened to Li Ying's opinion. There is some truth to the reason. After all, numbers such as 123 don't sound as elegant and nice as the thousand-character sequencing, and Tengzifang is indeed much better than No. 38...... Therefore, the signs hanging at the door of the inn's rooms are two-sided, with a thousand-character text written on the front and a 123 sequence number on the back. (To be continued.) )
