In the next two or three days, every morning my father was pulled by the pillar to look for jade, and after he came back, I don't know where Lu Dao came from, he took out a copy of the "Jade Sutra" and read it hard, which made Yan Wu laugh and said: "Big brother, you still have to take the top prize, look at your hard work." ”
Zijian smiled and shook his head and didn't answer, although he was literate, he hadn't read much for many years, so he had a hard time reading. But seeing that others have found jade, Zijian is also very envious, he has never liked to be left behind. It's just that others are generations of jade workers, he is just a carpenter and mason, and he is inherently inferior to others in finding jade, and every time he sees others find jade, he can only envy in the back. There are many such situations, and Zijian's heart is extremely unwilling.
"Dad, you should just go to the mountains to play, our family is not short of money anyway. Zi Baifeng persuaded that he really didn't look at a few pieces of jade.
If he had said this before, Zi Baifeng didn't have much confidence, but after the last time the prince gave him those silver coins, at least Zi Baifeng and his family would not have to worry about eating and drinking for several years, and Zijian didn't have to work so hard at all.
Besides, there's a lot of jade under the bluestone butt.
"Go, you kid take care of so many things, go play by yourself. Zi Jian's face, Zi Baifeng made more money than him for several years in one go, which made him hurt his self-esteem.
Zi Baifeng pinched his nose and went helplessly, he originally planned to help his father talk about the "Jade Sutra", since his father wanted to find abuse by himself, then let his father gnaw it by himself.
He estimated that the jade search team would gain more in the next few days, and it was estimated that his father would also have a harvest in three or five days, many of the facilities in the village had been abandoned and outdated, and he was going to discuss with Yan Lao Wu about rebuilding these facilities.
If the village wants to repair something, it doesn't cost much money, but they need to work and contribute, and the first thing Zi Baifeng wants to repair is the foothold in the mountain. Zi Baifeng remembered that Tiangong Kaiwu once said: "Where the jade reflects the light of the moon and is born, so the people of the country take jade along the river, more than autumn, the bright moon and night look at the river and wait, the jade is piled up, and its moonlight is bright." There is no heavenly creation in this world, but the process of jade condensation is recorded in the "Jade Sutra": "On the night of the full moon, it is seen to be shining brightly, and it is condensed by jade." ”
The jade in this world is like dew, it is condensed by aura, and in the moonlit night, the process of jade condensation will emit a radiant brilliance, the brighter the moonlight, the brighter this brilliance, so the best time to find jade is at night.
It's just that at night, all kinds of wild beasts are infested, and it is very dangerous, and a place to stay in the mountains is a must.
When Xiayan Village was prosperous, there were dozens of jade-seeking huts in the mountains, covering thirty or forty miles of mountain roads, and these huts were built by the villagers with great painstaking efforts.
Zi Baifeng went back to the room and took a map, this map was drawn by him according to the map in the porcelain tablet, although there was a slight error, but its accuracy was estimated to have surpassed the rough map of the village before many times.
Zi Baifeng planned to frame this map and hang it in his study, like a great man, to point out the country. It's a pity that the study is not big enough, otherwise it will be more refreshing to make a sand table.
On this map, Zi Baifeng has marked more than a dozen huts within the village limits, and more than twenty are deeper in the Bird and Mouse Mountain, which are no longer part of the village, and Zi Baifeng's porcelain tiles cannot see the situation there. But Zi Baifeng doesn't need to care about that. The rebirth of jade is because bluestone guards the leylines, and the range of its guards in the leylines, that is, the territory of Zibaifeng, leaving this territory, it is estimated that there is no jade at all.
In order to find these more than ten mountain huts, Zi Baifeng almost blinded both eyes, and the aura consumed was even more basketful, but for this he also found another benefit of the porcelain piece, that is, he could mark the name on any target that overlooked, which would make his son Baifeng peek at it and found that the black dot marked with Yan Laowu's name was standing outside the ancestral hall.
Just a glance consumes very little aura, Zi Baifeng has gradually become accustomed to doing something, just glance at it, the feeling of overlooking everything is really addictive.
Sandwiched a scroll of maps, Zi Baifeng saw that the sun had not yet set, so he hurried out of the door and went straight to the ancestral hall, said hello from a distance, and then walked to Yan Lao Wu's side, and asked in surprise: "What are you looking at?"
"The ancestors appeared, and Xia Yan Village finally saw jade again. Yan Lao Wu took his chin and pointed to the black ancestral hall in front of him, glanced at Zi Baifeng with his afterglow, and said: "I'm just thinking, should I renovate the family ancestral hall, the last time the family ancestral hall was overhauled was when I was young...... "Yan Lao Wu chattered and remembered the grand occasion of ancestor worship back then, why they went down to Yan Village, although it was separated from Yan Village, it was the most lively and prosperous, and the most rich. What invited the troupe to sing the big drama for three days, and people from all over the country came to join in the fun. Babbling and talking.
Yes, the ancestral hall also needs to be repaired. Zi Baifeng's attention was elsewhere.
Zi Baifeng took out a small notebook, took out a pencil, found a separate page on it, wrote the words "culture and faith", and then listed the ancestral shrine below. Now Zi Baifeng gradually has some ideas for developing Xia Yan Village, and he decided to record it at any time and always use it in the future.
This small notebook and pencil were bought by Zi Baifeng when he went to Mengcheng two days ago, from the pen and ink xuan that specializes in the four treasures of the study opposite the academy, and he really hadn't paid attention to it before, it turned out that there were also pencils in this world. This pencil is still a little different from the previous life, it looks like a hairpin, the front end is slightly pointed, the inside can be placed with graphite processed into a cylindrical shape, and the outside can also be protected by a sleeve, which looks quite high-end and expensive. This is the legendary hairpin pen, which is commonly used by knife and pen officials, and can be used as a hairpin inserted in the hair and recorded at any time. It's just that Zi Baifeng doesn't like the shape of this hairpin and doesn't want to put it in his head. And this is not as comfortable as the pencil in the previous life, there is always a feeling of using a broken pencil, slightly loose, Zi Baifeng is thinking about how to transform it, design a shape he likes, so as not to want to write something casually in the future and grind the ink.
Yan Lao Wu came over to take a look, but he couldn't understand it, and pouted helplessly.
Zi Baifeng said: "Old man, the ancestral shrine does need to be repaired, but the most important thing to repair now is the hut in the mountain." ”
"That's right. Yan Lao Wu nodded when he heard this, and said: "I still think about it, I will go to the mountains to touch the situation of those houses in the past two days, and now many young people don't know where those houses are......
In fact, if Zi Baifeng hadn't calculated the accounts of the village, Zi Baifeng wouldn't have known about the existence of these mountain huts in Ludao, which can be said to be a rare common property in the village...... Of course, it can't be sold.
"Look, old man. Zi Baifeng unfolded the big map in his hand, and found that it was completely blocked, so he hurriedly asked Yan Lao Wu to take the handle, and the two of them tore open the map, Yan Lao Wu only glanced at it, and was stunned: "This is ......"
Yan Lao Wu himself also drew a map by hand, and now he still treasures it in his cabinet. But compared to the map in front of me, it is weak. Compared with those ghost talismans hand-drawn by Yan Lao Wu, this map is simply a satellite map.
"This is a map of our Xiayan Village, and I have already marked the mountain huts. ”
"It's marked?" Yan Lao Wu didn't believe it, stared at it for a long time, and then wondered: "How do you know where those huts are?" What did the pillar tell you? No, he doesn't know how many Lu Dao there are......
"Mountain people have their own tricks!" Zi Baifeng enjoyed Yan Lao Wu's shock, and then said, "I suggest that this and this ...... first." These four mountain huts are repaired, and the others are postponed for the time being, what do you think, old man? ”
Yan Lao Wu was a little disappointed, and said, "Xiucailang, you can do whatever you say......"
Seeing that he really stimulated the old man, Zi Baifeng hurriedly said: "Don't mind, I just use my mouth, how to repair it has to be decided by your old man, I don't know how to repair the house." ”
"You don't understand, you always understand. The old man was still unhappy, but Zi Baifeng was good at persuading and persuading, so he agreed to mobilize and organize the villagers to repair the hut in the mountains.
"Old man, you see I still have a few ......plans here," Zi Baifeng pointed to the map, "I want to build a memorial arch outside the village gate, and build the road from the village to the official road, and then build a water-powered mill next to the Meng River in the south of the village, and then build a few cylinder cars to fill the farmland with water, and here, I want to apply with the Fujun to establish a post station in our Xiayan Village, at least three horses and a car......"
After a series of plans, Yan Lao Wu was stunned.
After a while, Yan Lao Wu touched Zi Baifeng's head and said, "I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"
Shaking his head, he sighed and went.
"You just have a fever, your whole family has a fever!" Zi Baifeng was stunned for a long time, and could only complain viciously.
This is something he has been planning hard for a long time, and he was commented on by Yan Lao Wu, how can he not be sad!
However, Zi Baifeng also knows that it is unrealistic to become a fat man in one bite, what can be done now is to repair the hut in the mountain, and the rest will have to wait until the village has a high income in the future.
But in any case, the days are full of hope, and it seems that people are becoming more and more full of anticipation.
As the twilight gradually fell, Zi Baifeng stood outside the door of the ancestral hall and looked back.
A round of red sun had descended to the back of the mountain, gilding the peak with a layer of golden Buddha light.
The gradually thinning sunlight sprinkled greedily on Xiayan Village, reflecting the smoke slowly drifting from the rooftop.
He reached out, and a golden-red glow leaked from his fingertips, leaving a five-finger shadow on his face.
He slowly clasped his hands, as if to hold his destiny and future.
No one wants to take this expectation and joy away from me.
Don't think about it.
