Parents are busy farming

After agreeing on the land, Ye Zifen decided to strike while the iron was hot and started looking for a suitable place.

Ye Zifen already had a rough prototype of the house in her mind.

It just looks like the row of small courtyards in Yejia Village. Finally, a place will be opened behind the house for shipbuilding.

Enclose it with a wall to prevent others from peeking.

As for the construction team, we still have to look for Li Laosi and the others, but their team cannot all come over. After they all come, how will they hire labor from the village!

So when you go back, you have to think carefully about how to tell them.

Several people, led by Li Lizheng, circled the village twice.

This village is very small and its name is Linhai Village.

That is one-third of Lujiacun, but because there are stones everywhere, there are very few places suitable for building houses.

They searched for a long time before choosing a suitable place at the entrance of the village.

"Just here!" Ye Zifen pointed out and told Li Zheng the approximate location needed.

Li Zheng didn't expect that they would need such a big place and was shocked.

"However, after this place is given to you, there will not be much space left to build houses in Linhai Village." Li Lizheng said worriedly.

Ye Zifen smiled and said to Li Lizheng: "We need stones to build a house. Where do those stones come from?"

Li Lizheng replied matter-of-factly: "Of course from the stone mountain next to it."

Ye Zifen added: "I see that there are many places in the village where the stones are uneven. Li Zheng never thought that the stones used when building houses would be used there. After the stones are removed, they are then watered with lime. The ground will be flat and suitable for building houses." He said that a lot of stones were thrown out."

After hearing this, Li Zheng's eyes lit up.

Ye Zifen continued: "In addition, the village is more organized, and each house does not need to exist independently. Houses built together are easier to withstand typhoons, and the neighbors can take care of each other."

Li Zheng heard his heartbeat and asked: "What is lime?"

Ye Zifen thought for a while and said, "It's a kind of stone-burning paper thing. When the time comes, I will find someone to ask you to bake it."

In fact, Ye Zifen is not sure now. This is something in the diary left by her aunt, and she needs to experiment with it.

At this time, Li Lizheng had no objection at all, "Okay, you and I will get the contract, and I will take it to the county for filing tomorrow."

"Okay!" Ye Zifen said and went home with him.

Zhang Gaoyi followed, and Mu Hongzhou and Ziwei returned to the villagers' homes where they were temporarily staying.

After finishing the contract, I wandered around the village with Zhang Gaoyi.

"You can always think so comprehensively, but I can't. I can only work hard." Zhang Gaoyi praised Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen stopped and looked at Zhang Gaoyi with a smile.

Asked: "Do you still remember what you once said to me? That time you and my father came out and told me after you came back."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded vigorously.

Ye Zifen still smiled and said: "Our purpose is the same. We do so many things for the elderly, but we have only one purpose. Let the people here live a good life. The caravan can only solve their food and clothing problems. If we want to truly When the country becomes rich, it is necessary to open a sea ban."

Zhang Gaoyi asked doubtfully: "But will the imperial court really impose a sea ban? That person was once so high and powerful, and he did such a thing, and the emperor can still agree?"

Ye Zifen said with a smile: "I disagree, because the treasury is not empty yet. The border has been unstable for so many years, and the treasury will not be able to hold on for a few more years. In three years, I think the emperor will definitely consider imposing a sea ban."

Zhang Gaoyi frowned and asked, "Why?"

Ye Zifen explained: "Why would he, a great general, collude with the Japanese pirates? It's just for profit. The emperor raided his home and the treasury was temporarily sufficient, but if there was no other big income, the court would still consider the sea It’s about trade.”

Zhang Gaoyi nodded after listening.

Asked: "Then what are the conditions required for the establishment of a sea ban?"

"Navy, a powerful navy. Why do Japanese pirates dare to invade? It's because our navy is not tough enough. When the Japanese pirates become frightened when they hear about our navy, that's when our fishermen and merchant ships are the safest."

Ye Zifen felt a little emotional when she said this.

If only...if only I were a man, protecting my family and country, and building a career...

No one will be jealous, and there is no need to waste energy and time by scheming with some indifferent people.

When Zhang Gaoyi heard what Ye Zifen said, a seed was planted in his heart. He thought he already knew his direction.

After the two were silent for a while, Ye Zifen spoke first, "Let's go back!"

Zhang Gaoyi nodded and followed her back.

Before they had gone far, they saw Ye Ziwei running to them.

"What's wrong? You're running so fast!" Ye Zifen complained.

"There are fishing boats docked at the seaside. I heard that this trip to sea has a great harvest... Let's drive the carriage over and have a look." Ye Ziwei said while panting.

Ye Zifen frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? You've just run such a long distance and you start to pant like this. Let the master know and just wait to be drilled!"

Ye Ziwei finally regained her breath and said aggrievedly: "Master and I received an invitation from those kids before we got home. They wanted to compete with me. Before we could decide the winner here, someone came to spread the news."

Ye Zifen raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Gaoyi: "The kung fu you taught them?"

Zhang Gaoyi nodded, and Ye Zifen said the word "no wonder".

Several people went home, put on three cars and went to the beach.

There are already more than ten fishing boats parked there.

Seeing them from a distance, he greeted Zhang Gaoyi warmly.

One person shouted: "Boy Zhang, the time lapse is a bit long this time!"

Zhang Gaoyi stopped the carriage and explained: "I harvested autumn seeds at home and started walking this way after finishing my work. I heard that the harvest was good today?"

When the man heard this, he immediately grinned and said: "I encountered a school of fish, so the harvest is very good. Come and take a look, they are all big mackerel."

Ye Zifen followed them and came to a fishing boat. As expected, the cabin was full of fish.

Everyone was afraid that the fish would die, so they quickly used nets to get the fish out of the cabin, weighed it, and put it in the carriage.

Zhang Gaoyi poured water into the compartment of the carriage.

When the fish is put in the car, it will freeze quickly.

Zi Zifen is counting beside them. When all the fish are on the carriage, they will go to the fisherman's house where they are temporarily relying on to get food based on Zi Zifen's count.

Looking at the amount of food that could be exchanged this time, the fishermen had a reassuring smile on their faces.

With this food, we can finally get through this year safely.

Seeing the joy on their faces, Zhi Zifen and others also felt a sense of satisfaction.

Ye Ziwei took Ye Zifen's hand and shouted "Sister!"

Ye Zifen nodded, and the three of them drove back the loaded carriage. There would be fishing boats docking later, and they needed to catch a few more carriages.
