Chapter 486 Zhu Weiyuan's longing for life

As long as they have seen the whole family army, the first impression of the whole family army is that it is neat, no matter from which angle, all the soldiers or war horses will be horizontal and vertical in a straight line.

Of course, this is also the case in the building of FamilyMart. Although the houses of these people are not luxurious, or even very simple, they have the same height, the same width, and the same neatness.

Because this is a wetland, drainage is the top priority, however, in the family villa, there are almost no drainage ditches, but manhole covers every twenty or thirty steps, needless to say, the drainage ditch has become an underground pipe, the scene of sewage cross-flow no longer exists, the whole family villa is very neat, very clean, even cleaner than the capital.

In fact, the capital at the end of the Ming Dynasty had no way to compare with later generations, large and small alleys, full of landmines, and when it rained, sewage would flow sideways.

Neat, neat, clean, hygienic, this is basically the biggest feature of the whole family villa and the whole family system, in fact, this is not to say that Quan Xu has a habit of cleanliness, but because the medical conditions in the late Ming Dynasty are too poor, if because of environmental sanitation problems, it will be easy to have too many accidents.

Li Zicheng could easily enter the city of Beijing, not because the Ming army was too cowardly, nor because the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp was extremely poor, but because of the plague. According to the records of Daxing County around Beijing, before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, a large number of dead rats appeared in Beijing, and then the soldiers and civilians fell ill, with high fever, weakness in limbs, and swollen necks, and seven or eight of the sick people died.

What is this disease? According to the modern medicine control disease, it is the terrible plague, the plague appeared in the autumn of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the spring of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644 AD), the weather became warmer, fleas, rats began to be active, large-scale plague broke out naturally, the plague first "eliminated" Chongzhen's imperial army, so that Li Zicheng easily entered Beijing.

Then, the plague infected Li Zicheng's army, which entered the city of Beijing, and the Dashun army naturally lost its combat effectiveness, and of course it could not defeat the Qing army. The most terrible thing is that the defeated soldiers thus became the source of plague infection, and according to the literature, "thieves everywhere are plagues".

The plague is a very terrible thing, in this case, Quan Xu can only pay attention to environmental hygiene, so that the people can develop such a neat and clean living habits.

What's more, the aquaculture industry should pay more attention to environmental issues, once there is a plague, it will soon spread throughout the surrounding area of the capital, which is the most densely populated area.

"Wow, so many cows?"

Zhu Weiyuan looked at those cows, especially a few calves that had just been born, and they were even swaying when they walked, looking very cute.

Quan Xu looked at He Qiushan and said, "You have been following me for three years, right?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, it's been three years and four months now!"

"You're doing a good job here, better than I expected!" Quan Xu looked at He Qiushan and said: "As for me, I am not very good at employing people, and I have unreasonable arrangements for you, and I have wronged you!" ”

He Qiushan's position in the family village system is a little awkward, according to his internal rank, he and Chen Ying, Yuan Shiqing, and Chen Ying belong to the same first-class steward.

The annual salary is 1,200 taels of silver, don't look at He Qiushan wearing short shirts and coarse cloth clothes, in fact, he is much richer than the average landlord.

After all, landlords with an annual income of 1,200 taels of silver own at least tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

However, Chen Ying and Yuan Shiqing are both in charge of the army as chief stewards. For example, Chen Ying is also in charge of the Sixth Brigade of the Whole Family Army, while Yuan Shiqing is also in charge of the Seventh Brigade.

Although they are only stewards, they are in fact like a small governor.

However, it is a pity that the Family Villa is only a wetland, and it is too close to Beijing, and the Family Villa does not have a formed army like the Fair Army and the town of Quanjiazhuang.

There was no army here, only a courtyard, and it was surrounded by nobles and gentry, and those people were very domineering, and there was no place for the family to expand. Of course, if it weren't for the rapid rise of Quanxu in Liaodong, this family villa would be the same as the original family town, attracting the peeps of the nobles.

The only way is to use manpower to fill the lake and make fields, in the era of no mechanization, it is too difficult to do so, if the family villa is not close to the capital, but in other places, I am afraid that the expansion rate will be very fast.

Of course, there are gains and losses, and if it weren't for the proximity to the capital, there would be no place to sell the large amount of meat in the family villa, after all, the purchasing power of the capital is the strongest in the world.

"Hou Ye is polite!"

"When a little steward of the cottage has wronged you!"

"Master Hou, do you want to hurry up and leave Akiyama?"

"No, you're thinking too much!"

Quan Xu looked at He Qiushan and said, "I want to do a big thing, I need your help!" ”

"He Qiushan is willing to go to the soup for Hou Ye!"

"The prince of Tang gave me 40,000 acres of land, and the location is in Nanyang Mansion!"

Quan Xu continued: "Do you know the place in Nanyang Mansion? ”

"Poor Mountain!"

"No, it is a strategic place in the Central Plains, connecting the east and the west, connecting the north and the south!"

Quan Xu took out a silver token from his arms: "I need you to take a group of craftsmen south to Nanyang!" ”

He Qiushan's gaze fell on the token in Quan Xu's hand, and the front of this token was an eagle, the same as an ordinary one or two Quan's silver cakes, but the subtle differences were also very obvious.

"I want you to take someone to use the 40,000 acres of land donated by the prince of Tang as the basis to run Nanyang!"

He Qiushan's eyes lit up: "Just like Chen Ye and them?" ”

"It's the same, it can be said to be different!"

Quan Xu muttered: "Nanyang is different from Hetao, Hetao is far away from the emperor, but Nanyang is different, it is a place where the imperial court has strong control, once it is well run and rich, many people will be red-eyed, they will do whatever it takes away Nanyang from us, and with our strength, we can't compete with them at all!" If we lose Nanyang, the displaced people who have worked so hard to settle down in Nanyang will have no way to live! ”

He Qiushan was a little puzzled: "What does Master Hou mean ......"

"Divide into two steps!"

Quan Xu continued: "I will transfer the second regiment of the guards brigade over, with the second regiment of the guards brigade as the foundation, they will be rooted in the Funiu Mountains, you will be responsible for providing them with support, and at the same time, you must avoid being discovered by anyone, including our partner Tang Wangfu!" ”

After Quan Xu and He Qiushan discussed for two hours, He Qiushan began to officially hand over everything in the family villa with Zhu Weiyuan, including thirteen mills, factories, slaughterhouses, food factories, wineries, grain depots, and large and small affairs.

At the same time, after He Qiushan completed the handover, he took away more than 160 large and small stewards, more than 1,000 craftsmen of various technologies, and more than 1,000 nursing homes from the family villa.

Together, a total of more than 2,000 people went south.

Although at FamilyMart the smell of chicken manure, cow dung, and horse manure fills the air, of course, this is inevitable.

However, Zhu Weiyuan didn't care at all.

In particular, the chickens raised in the family villa have grown to weigh seven or eight pounds, and in the absence of hormones and various feeds, this kind of fat chicken is very rare.

Zhu Weiyuan noticed that those chickens were very fat, and their feathers were bright and shiny, and they were very energetic.

There is no way not to be fat, these chickens eat fly maggots every day, and they eat high protein, can they not be fat?

The chickens and ducks raised in the family villa are full of millions, divided into more than 20 breeding areas, but there is no effort, of course, if there are no these things, it will be fatal, millions of mouths, I don't know how much food to eat every day, now people can't eat, where is the surplus grain to feed chickens and ducks?

Although there is no hormone feed, the family villa uses a tank to ferment chicken and duck manure, and then attracts flies to the tank to lay eggs, and then a large number of fly maggots can be obtained to feed chickens and ducks.

Of course, fermented manure is also a good fertilizer, which can be counted in one fell swoop. FamilyMart has adopted a circular economy approach to farming and has been a huge success.

Da Nidian Light Primary School has built six buildings, nearly 7,000 students, it is because of the breeding income of the whole family villa, but to give the children two eggs a day, every three or five can pick up an egg to boil the pot egg soup and vegetables, everyone to improve their lives.

Of course, this method of raising chickens and ducks can't be told to Zhu Weiyuan, if she knows, maybe she won't have the appetite to eat chicken.

In the evening, Quan Xu took Zhu Weiyuan to the fish pond, in fact, the lake of each island is the fish pond of the family villa, Quan Xu caught the fish, which made Zhu Weiyuan startled.

He took a spear, sprinkled a handful of bait, and then, with a brush and stabbed into the water, a big carp weighing more than ten catties was caught, Quan Xu grabbed the fish, inserted his fingers into the fish's gills, and then twisted it, the fish head came down, Zhu Weiyuan and her four King Kongs were so frightened that they turned pale and didn't dare to look at it.

Of course, Quan Xu didn't have to worry about cooking dinner, he threw the fish to Zhu Weiyuan, and then asked people to catch a big fat chicken weighing seven or eight catties.

There are chickens and fish, turtles, shrimp, and salted duck eggs.

Originally, the steward of the family villa wanted to kill a cow for Quan Xu, but was stopped by Zhu Weiyuan, who wanted to kill the sheep, and Zhu Weiyuan also thought that they couldn't eat it.

Zhu Weiyuan was very happy to cook for Quan Xu, not to mention, Zhu Weiyuan's cooking skills are quite good, not long after, the small courtyard where Quan Xu stayed was filled with an attractive fragrance, which was mouth-watering, and they all said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach, if this sentence really works, Zhu Weiyuan will definitely catch Quan Xu's heart, liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach.

The dishes made by Zhu Weiyuan are all good in color and flavor, which makes Quan Xu's appetite great.

The most natural ingredients, with the purest cooking method, made Quan Xu accidentally dry three bowls of rice, of course, these rice are also produced by the family villa.

Although the lake breeze is slightly cold, Quan Xu drank some wine and felt that life was so wonderful.

What's even better is that the beauty is in her arms, and her tenderness is like water.

Zhu Weiyuan sighed with emotion: "This is the life I yearn for the most!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Weiyuan smiled slightly: "The cattle and sheep are full of mules and horses, and the chickens and ducks are flocks of pigs and geese!" ”
