Farmer’s Blessed Girl

"The rent for renting is not low. The monthly rent ranges from 2,000 to 8,000 yuan, depending on the location and size of the house," he said. "I'm not boasting. There are no scholars who can afford the yard in Changqing Lane. How much, not to mention, reading is not an overnight thing, it may take two, three, or even seven or eight years, you can calculate the loss of rent alone."

Bai Erlang said: "So it is not easy to live in the capital."

Bai Shan nodded, "Exactly, many students who come to study, as well as scholars who come to the capital every year to take exams, will be crowded into some B\u0026Bs and small inns in the outer city, requiring five or six people to live in one room, just like that kind of general store, a month's time. For about 600 wen, it would be better to rent a separate house with a yard in the Yongzhou area."

Wei Yu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "How did you know so clearly?"

Bai Shan said quietly: "Because when we first entered the capital, we also thought that the yard in Changqing Lane was too expensive." So he thought about moving out, and went out to ask about it quietly, but he honestly lived in Changqing Lane. , Later, because of the classmates in Guozijian, more or less will pay attention to the matter of renting a house in the capital.

Not to mention that Shizulang and Wuwulang rent houses for returning caravans every year, and occasionally help rent houses for students and business travelers from Mianzhou, and they will understand over time.

If the road here is open, then it may only take about an hour from here to the academy in Wannian County. There will definitely be many students who choose to live here, even if it takes two hours to go back and forth every day. I would like to be more comfortable.

The basis of trading is people. With more people coming and going, even if this road is alive, then the fiefs that have been irradiated on this road will naturally be more dynamic.

Bai Shan planned in his heart and continued to urge Princess Mingda, "It doesn't need to be built too well, just use bricks and stones, the room is brighter, a set of tables and stools are arranged in the courtyard, and two fruit trees are planted."

The main thing is that it is big enough, and scholars who have lived in those cramped houses will definitely like it. If the price is lower, I am afraid that it will be robbed. Bai Shan is very confident in this.

Minda couldn't help looking at Shiro Erlang.

Shirojiro also nodded.

Mingda smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to build a few yards later."

Seeing that she agreed, Man Bao turned his head and said to the old man beside him, "You haven't planted rice seeds yet, have you?"

The old man nodded blankly, and Man Bao smiled and said, "Then the fields are being leveled, and a family should be able to select a male to serve."

The old man: "...The township, the township owner, we served in the military years ago."

He bit the bullet and said, "We dug a ditch."

It was Zhou Lijun's service order to go to the county magistrate of Yueyang. There was a ditch, and no one passed it for many years. Every spring and summer there was only a shallow layer of water. Most of the conscripts are to maintain official roads, and there are some large water conservancy projects. However, the small water conservancy in the villages has been unable to find time to rest. In the end, there are too few people.

Man Bao said: "I only work once a year, don't worry, you won't be recruited again in winter."

The old man hesitated.

Man Bao said: "I know you are worried about the farming season, don't worry, before the seedlings grow up, even if the road is not repaired well, the farming season will not be delayed.

Hearing what she said, the old man immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Ruralism is righteous." The main thing is to know what to do.

What peasants are most afraid of are officials who do not know how to do things.

Man Bao got up, turned his head and said to Bai Shan, "The labor force has to be ordered by the county magistrate, so I just went to talk to him."

Bai Shan nodded, bowed his head and said gently to the old man: "Father, there is Lao in the village to help you explain one or two things. If this road is open, you can send these vegetables, poultry and eggs to Yongzhou New City in the future. It's more expensive than the market."

The old man answered again and again.

The group walked halfway around Zhou Man's fief and took a look at the Zhou family's workshop.

The Zhou family's workshop is more than 200 meters away from the village. It is an independent courtyard. At this time, the smoke from the cooking is curling up, and some faint medicinal aromas waft out.

Everyone knew that this workshop belonged to the village owner, so even the bastards wandering in the village did not dare to come and provoke it.

This is the most comfortable career Zhou Lijun has ever done.

In the past, whether she rented a yard in the outer city to make medicine, or brought ointment and cream to sell to the ladies of various families, she had to spend some money to manage people.

Do your best to have a good relationship with your neighbors.

But on this piece of land, as long as my sister-in-law agrees, she has the greatest right to use it. Well, within the scope of the law, after all, there is a county magistrate on it, so it is impossible for her to do illegal things.

Here, she doesn't have to worry about managing relationships, she doesn't have to dislike those bastards, she has to smile to deal with them, and she doesn't even have to bend over to the neighbors, hoping that they won't make trouble for her jealousy.

She set the workshop downwind, more than 200 meters away from the nearest family in the village, which not only guaranteed privacy, but also ensured that they would not be disturbed too much.

When Man Bao and the others arrived, Zhou Lijun was covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief to check the progress in the workshop. Hearing that the servant told the little aunt to bring a large number of people, she immediately greeted her.

"Why are you here?" Man Bao asked when he saw her, "Didn't you say you're pregnant, so don't come here recently?"

Zhou Lijun said with a smile: "They said that there were some problems with the medicinal materials delivered today, so I came to check. Some of them were damp, so I came and returned them."

Man Bao wants to take Mingda and Changyu to see the fun. He doesn't want Zhou Lijun to go in and smoke the medicinal gas. Although these medicines are not very harmful to pregnant women, they do have medicines that can activate blood. Even if you just smell it, you should be cautious. some good.

So let Zhou Lijun go out.

Bai Shan and the others were not interested in how to make face cream, so they just stood outside the workshop and talked.

Man Bao led Ming Da and Chang Yu to look inside, and saw that the medicinal materials were boiled in a large pot, and in the other room, mutton oil was boiled in a large pot, and the refined suet was placed in small basins in batches. , after it has cooled down a bit, take it to another room before it freezes and adjust the dosage.

The last thing that came out was a large pot of medicinal cream, exuding a faint aroma.

Man Bao took them to see, "I reduced the proportion of suet oil, and the cream that came out was lighter. I rubbed it and felt that the specific gravity oil was better, but my sister-in-law and the others thought it was still better than before, so Lijun They were divided into two kinds of porcelain jars, the price is the same, but the ratio is different, the older ones recommend the heavy oil, and the younger ones use this one, do you want to try it?"

Ming Da and Chang Yu nodded again and again.

Man Baodao: "Before Lijun wanted to sell pills, but she is pregnant now, so this matter needs to be slowed down, but I bought a lot of medicinal herbs at home, I will make them later when I have time, and give you some, all of them. These are commonly used pills, such as Xiaoshi Pills and Qi Pills.”
