Compared with other villages, the wheat harvest in Banlong Village is a few days later every year, which may also be related to their close proximity to Shengfeng Mountain.

Xu Changting and the others have seen many fields of wheat being harvested along the way, but the wheat fields on this side of Banlong Village are still holding their heads high and showing off their might.

Fortunately, the weather has been good these days, and I can't see that it is going to rain. Therefore, the farmers in Banlong Village also have the patience to wait a few more days for the wheat to fully mature before harvesting.

Since he planned to stay in Banlong Village for a while, he wanted to take a look at the few pieces of land at the foot of the mountain that He Chengtian had been quietly optimistic about.

If you want to build a winery and a academy in Banlong Village, it is obviously not possible to build a wine shop and a academy in Banlong Village, not to mention that they have just seen it, and the little place in Liu Da'an's house is used for winemaking, which is simply a fool's dream.

Fortunately, Xu Changting was not in a hurry, not to mention that even if he wanted to do something now, he had to wait for labor to help them build it.

It is the busy season for farming, and it is difficult to find labor for a while, so everything needs to wait until after the wheat harvest can be implemented.

Huo Nuer and Liu Da'an did not follow Xu Changting to the foot of the mountain, because Wu Jiangnan still had to instruct them to do some work.

He Chengtian accompanied Xu Changting and slowly walked to the foot of the mountain, the stream that meandered down like a jade belt could be seen from a distance, and under the illumination of the sun, it reflected a dazzling light from time to time.

He Chengtian scratched his head, and said with some worry: "Childe, have you ever thought that building a winery and a academy will cost you a hundred taels of silver, right?" As for the land...... I'm afraid that Anhe County will have to go up and down, and the amount of this money is probably not small. ”

People are poor and short-minded, regardless of whether they are scholars or not, when they are short of money, no matter how big your ideals and ambitions are, you will often unconsciously touch your pockets first when you speak.

He Chengtian is obviously such a person, although he also wants to see Xu Changting can do something in Banlong Village, but when he thinks of the amount of money he needs, this makes He Chengtian have to think about how to cut down on food and clothing, and how to spend less money.

"We don't have to worry about money and land." Walking through the golden wheat fields and standing at the foot of the somewhat barren mountain, Xu Changting looked at He Chengtian in the wind, and said with a smile: "Anhe County has my own father to say hello, but I should give people money, and I am afraid that it will be indispensable when the time comes, and I will be free to do it when the time comes." ”

Danfeng City is divided into two counties, Pingping and Anhe, while Banlong Village is subordinate to Anhe County, so if you want to open up a vacant land at the foot of Shengfeng Mountain, you naturally have to deal with the government.

And only through the government can we figure out whether the land under their feet is in the hands of the government, or is it ...... It has been given to a temple for free.

After all, the Great Wei Kingdom has always worshiped Buddhism, from the Queen Mother, the Empress and even the entire royal family, to the people who are desperate and can only resign themselves to fate, they can be said to have great respect for Buddhism.

However, it is obvious that the worship of Buddha by royal or dignitaries is two completely different purposes from that of ordinary people.

Although Xu Changting also stayed in Yongning Temple for a long time, perhaps because of his two lives, his perception of Buddhism has not changed even now.

When Xu Changting stood halfway up the mountain, pointed to the barren land of nearly 100 acres below and told He Chengtian that these places would be built into academies in the future, He Chengtian was so frightened that he almost rolled down from the halfway up the mountain.

In his imagination, the academy is enough to have a few rooms at most, and of course, the most important thing is to repair a better house for all kinds of books, as for the students' school...... It's nice to be able to keep out the wind and rain.

And under Xu Changting's planning, He Chengtian didn't think that what he might see in the future would be a academy, in his opinion, this was a city at all, and no one doubted it.

As for the winery that was to be built first, it was placed on the other side of the stream, and it was not close to the 100 acres of land at the foot, but if it was far, it could actually be reached by walking.

"In this way, this has to be ...... How much money does this cost? "He Chengtian is simply unimaginable, if he builds an academy like Xu Changting, the amount of silver spent must reach an astronomical amount, right?

"It's not like it has to be built in a day, everything has to be done step by step, right? As for how much money I have to spend, it depends on how much money the future academy can help me make. Xu Changting said with a smile.

As for the future of the college, he didn't dare to guarantee that it would be done, and it would definitely be able to do it.

But if he didn't try, Xu Changting would feel that he might live in vain again.

Moreover, he did not tell He Chengtian that the royal family of the Great Wei Kingdom had silver, and even Xu Changting sometimes wondered if the royal family would have more silver than grain in the years when the Northern Wei Dynasty used troops against the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After all, when he left Yongning Temple and went to Xining with his family, the original eleven Buddha statues in the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Yongning Temple were still gilded, but when he returned from Xining and made a vow in Yongning Temple for seven days, he found that in more than four years, the eleven Buddha statues in the Daxiong Hall were replaced with solid gold statues of equal height.

It can be seen from this that the current Great Wei royal family is so rich.

Looking at He Chengtian, who was shocked by his future plans, Xu Changting patted him on the shoulder and said easily: "Don't think about it, anyway, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." The first step is to think about how you can get the farmers in Banlong Village to agree to their children to go to school. Compared with the academy, the lack of students is the most sorrowful. ”

"I will find a way to do this, move it with emotion and reason, repair farm tools for them these days, and occasionally mention a few words, but no one objected. However, I can't fully believe their words, after all, at that time, because I wanted to cultivate agricultural equipment, it was also polite words. Who knows if they will agree to it once it is actually implemented. ”

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry, this year we can see even a few lonely rooms like temples in this piece of land under our feet." Xu Changting began to go up the mountain with He Chengtian.

At the same time, in the private room on the second floor of a restaurant near Nanshi in Danfeng City, Xu Zhongli was chatting and laughing with a man of his age.

It stands to reason that as long as the officials who come to Danfeng City as officials, almost all of them will take the initiative to invite Qingping or Anhe's county commander to get to know him, even if they will not deal with officialdom in the future, but in some private matters, it is inevitable that they will bow their heads and not look up.

What's more, every official who is transferred to Danfeng City by the imperial court as an official will be granted more or less public land by the imperial court, and because of these public fields, some officials who come to Danfeng City will take the initiative to invite the county orders of Qingping or Anhe, and contact and liaise with each other.

Moreover, the county orders of these two counties are not compared to the seven-grade county orders of other counties, but the officials of the four grades are solid, after all, they are important places in Gyeonggi, so even the official products are much more expensive than those in other places.

Since the public land granted by Xu Zhongli's court was in Banlong Village, Anhe County, and Zheng Yan, the commander of Anhe County, had long been ready to wait in the mansion for Xu Zhongli to take the initiative to hand him an invitation.

But a few months have passed, and even Lu Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the opportunity of a chance encounter to talk to him a few words, but he never waited for Xu Zhongli's invitation.

In addition, it has been rumored in the court, Xu Zhongli, Lu Rui and several other courtiers who made great contributions to the emperor's accession to the throne back then, this time they returned to Danfeng City to take up their posts, which is by no means a simple normal transfer of officials, but may be related to the emperor's use of troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the past two years, and finally after not gaining an inch of land, he had to suspend the army.

At first, Zheng Yan did not take these rumors in the court seriously, but with the continued implementation of the examination method and the Yulu system, especially after the examination method was blocked, and the emperor continued to implement it again after the truce of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it began to make some officials have a sense of crisis.

And along with these rumors, there are some even more miraculous things, that is, Xining, where Xu Zhongli is located, and Dingzhou, where Lu Rui is located, when the two of them were serving as assassins, they both relied on the examination method to eliminate dissidents, and lowered the grades of some officials according to the examination method, and then let their henchmen replace the grades and positions of the original officials.

Xu Zhongli's city government endured and stood still, so that Zheng Yan, who was from the fourth grade, couldn't sit still, although he had already known Lu Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now he has a good relationship, but the position of the Guozi priest wine fell on Xu Zhongli's body, which made Zheng Yan have to pay attention to it.

After all, if the imperial court really wants to push the class method in Danfeng City again, Zheng Yan also has to think about the position he has worked so hard to climb to over the years, and whether he will one day suddenly be demoted because of the class test.

So after having the mentality of gaining and losing, Zheng Yan, after weighing the pros and cons, planned to take the initiative to invite Xu Zhongli.

After all, Xu Zhongli's position as the prince of the country supervising the sacrificial wine is also a key point of personal relations for officials like them who are mixed with officialdom at some times.

opened up the relationship between Xu Zhongli, which means that he, the great Zhongzheng of Anhe County, is more able to justifiably give some readers who are related to his interests to order products and enter the office.

However, Zheng Yan, who has been in the position of the county magistrate of Anhe for several years, obviously can't pull his face to let more people know that it was he Zheng Yan who took the initiative to invite the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, after all, other officials have taken the initiative to invite him in the past few years.

Therefore, if he took the initiative to invite Xu Zhongli, once it spread, it would be quite damaging to his face, and the important thing was that it would break the rules that he had secretly stood up for in the past few years, just waiting for others to take the initiative to invite.

Therefore, in the private room of the restaurant, there is not even a person to accompany the wine now, only Xu Zhongli, who is one year older than him and is sincerely invited by him.

"Brother Xu, please." Zheng Yan said enthusiastically: "Anhe is just a county, but there are so many complicated affairs. The imperial court has used soldiers in the past few years, and the food accumulated for many years has long been eaten up. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has finally ceased military receiving, it is natural to put people's livelihood in the first place. Therefore, I am not idle in this county order, I am afraid that the heavy snow will freeze the wheat seedlings in winter, which will affect the harvest of the next year, and in the summer, I am afraid that the wheat harvest will catch up with the heavy rain, and the heavy rain will come down for several days, which is to make all the hard work of the year nullified. It's okay to say anything else, but if the people can't eat enough, I, the county magistrate, will have no shame to face the court and the emperor. ”

"Understand Brother Zheng's hardships, as an official of the imperial court, it is naturally difficult to explain to others." Xu Zhongli smiled, his expression seemed quite respectful and solemn, as if he hated to see each other late, and said sincerely and honestly: "Isn't Xu like this?" Brother Zheng's bitterness in his heart, Xu can be said to have a deep understanding. Since returning to Danfeng City to serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he has not slept for a night, for fear that he will be negligent and will miss the major events of the court and live up to the expectations of the emperor. ”

"Come, Zheng respects Brother Xu." Zheng Yan nodded and sighed.

No matter how awkward and embarrassing the atmosphere in this private room is, as long as Xu Zhongli and Zheng Yan are not aware of it, then the atmosphere in the private room must be a friendly atmosphere of happiness, hatred of seeing each other, and being familiar at first sight.
