The system wants my local master gl

It was the result of Liu Chuo's deliberation that he put aside the matter of summoning civilian husbands to dredge the two lakes.The stories Song Yuyan's bamboo carvings told him that day made him unhappy, so he didn't see Song Yuyan, but the stories carved on those bamboo carvings were still imprinted in his heart.

Although he could figure out the intention behind it, he was worried that he would guess wrong.And afterwards, he regretted that he was so self-willed that day and drove the person away without hearing the other party's explanation.

After thinking about it for a few days, there was no result, but when his wife went out to offer incense in the temple, she heard the complaints from the people because of the recruitment of laborers during the busy farming period, and she came back and told him.

He said: "The common people are illiterate, they don't know that I am doing this for their own good, and they will be grateful to me in the future."

His wife rolled her eyes: "You can stay here for up to three years, and when the people know you are good, you will not be here anymore. Besides, everyone said that Yang Guang built the canal at that time, and his achievements will last forever, but what happened to Yang Guang , Do officials also want to learn from Yang Guang?"

Liu Chuo was choked, but he really couldn't refute. At the same time, more questions accumulated in his heart. He didn't know whether the situation in Mingzhou was as his wife said.

Finally, he took a day off from work, changed his official uniform, put on short brown, dressed like an ordinary citizen, walked out of the yamen, and asked someone to invite Song Yuyan to Dabaoshan for an outing.

The reason why it was chosen here is because of the painting on the bamboo carving. Liu Chuo thought that the painting was only partly carved, and there should be other scenes. He wanted to appreciate the whole painting.

Song Yuyan came with the painting, and when he saw him, he was not as nervous and scared as ordinary people when they met officials.Of course, the etiquette she should have was very thorough, and Liu Chuo didn't feel disrespected.

Liu Chuo didn't mention what happened that day, but regarded Song Yuyan as a pure "artist". During the conversation with him, he thought of testing Song Yuyan's cultural homework.

Song Yuyan: "..."

She said to the system: "The road of bamboo carving is too difficult. I thought I saw my grandfather and teacher, and my cultural lessons were all in ancient times."

Although she teased Liu Chuo's actions with the system in her heart, she still answered Liu Chuo's questions seriously, explaining in detail if she could answer well, and not pretending to understand what she couldn't answer, but asking for advice humbly.

Liu Chuo was quite satisfied with this.Although Song Yuyan didn't read many books, she could recite what she had learned in "The Analects of Confucius" and "Erya". After studying day and night, she also had her own insights.If you want to study other classics again, it is no problem to take the examination of a pedant.

It's just that pedantry is a discipline after all, not a Jinshi discipline, and he still looks down on people who come from a Jinshi discipline.But he didn't think too much, because Song Yuyan's talent in calligraphy and painting quickly raised his evaluation in his heart.

The two exchanged calligraphy and painting before Liu Chuo got to the point.

He didn't mean to blame Song Yuyan, after all, after communicating, he also understood Song Yuyan's intentions - she didn't want him to kick the iron here but still not know what happened.

At this time, Song Yuyan said: "Actually, I don't know much about the ancient books, so although I carved the paintings on these green bamboo carvings, there is someone else who tells the story. Today, he happened to be there this."

Liu Chuo became more and more curious and asked Song Yuyan to call the man.

Tang Haogen came to Liu Chuo nervously. He was different from Song Yuyan. After all, the most senior official he had ever come into contact with was the county magistrate. Facing the magistrate, the governor of a state, he was still a little nervous.

Although he was nervous, he managed to smooth out his words, and combined with the situation in Mingzhou, he analyzed the pros and cons of Liu Chuo's decree.

After Liu Chuo heard his words, the expression on his face didn't change, and the two of them couldn't tell what was going on in his mind, so when Tang Haogen finished speaking and Liu Chuo fell into silence, Tang Haogen felt extremely tormented, and even Song Yuyan couldn't bear it. Live in my heart and beat a drum.

Liu Chuo finally just smiled, and said, "I see."

Song Yuyan and Tang Haogen looked at each other, and a big stone fell from their hearts.Regardless of whether Liu Chuo listened or not, they had tried their best.

After Liu Chuo returned, he didn't act immediately. Instead, he went to the village to find out more information and let himself know more about the situation in Mingzhou. Then he sighed and regretfully put the plan on hold.

In order not to let everyone suspect why he changed his mind temporarily, he could only say that it was because of the bad weather. In this typhoon-frequent weather, the government should focus on farming and civil affairs.

No matter how many people believed this set of rhetoric, anyway, no matter whether it was the common people or the powerful landlords, they all breathed a sigh of relief.The former didn't think much about it, but the latter couldn't help muttering: "Did our courtship work? But we haven't found any bamboo carvings from Lu Fang these days?"

That's right, the reason why the recording party became so famous at the beginning is also due to the role played by these powerful landlords:

They all want to match what they like, find something Liu Chuo likes to win him over.But when it comes to culture, they are not high enough to compete with Liu Chuo; when it comes to gift-giving, they are not creative enough. Apart from gold, silver and jewelry, there are only beautiful women in Xiangche.However, Liu Chuo has the loftiness of a literati, and he doesn't like these vulgar things the most, so they can only follow the crowd and inquire about "Lufang".

Although they later found out that "Lufang" was Song Yuyan, Song Yuyan didn't have a single bamboo carving in his hands.

Just when they were about to coerce and lure Song Yuyan to quickly carve Liuqing bamboo carvings for them, news spread from the Yamen that Liu Chuo had canceled the relevant decree on dredging the two lakes.

As a result, the Song family, who had been in the market for a long time, suddenly became "popular".

Tang Zhi was also worried that Song Yuyan would not be able to bear such a gap, so he wanted to comfort her, but when he reached the door, he heard Song Yuyan heaving a sigh of relief: "Finally, I can be quiet for a while, if these people come again, my bamboo weaving work will be lost! "

Tang Zhi: "..."

She finally understood where Sun'er's obsession with bamboo weaving came from, she learned from this man!

Sun'er was also very happy, if it wasn't for the Song family's lack of firecrackers, he might have taken them out: "These people come every day, in order to show their closeness, and try to bribe me with caramel, am I such an easy person to bribe?! "

Song Yuyan: "You spit out the caramel they gave you first, and then say this."

Tang Zhi saw the three siblings getting along outside the door, her eyes naturally focused on the thin figure, her heart suddenly beat rapidly again.

This time, she finally understood what the awkward mood before was.

_____

"Sister Tang."

Following Bing'er's call, Song Yuyan also spotted the figure standing at the door, she got up and greeted her, "Miss Tang, you came just in time."

Tang Zhi restrained his mind and looked at her expectantly: "What novelty did you make?"

Song Yuyan seemed to see a little radish looking forward to receiving a gift at this moment, but she really didn't figure out any small and elegant objects this time.In order not to disappoint the little girl, she touched her pocket, took out a money bag, and handed it to the little girl.

Tang Zhi took the money bag, looked at her suspiciously, and waited for her explanation.

"I want to hire the little lady and the bullock cart of the little lady. This is the wages."

Tang Zhi: "..."

She took a deep breath, and waited until her anger had accumulated to a certain level before she rolled her eyes very forcefully.

Song Yuyan: "..."

Miss Tang hasn't rolled her eyes at her for a long time, and she still misses her a little bit.

Tang Zhi looked at the bamboo in the Tang family's yard, and asked doubtfully, "Don't you still have a lot of bamboo, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the privet and the ash tree."

Tang Zhi and Tang Haogen knew about Song Yuyan's collaboration with Lou Gao and Bai Can to breed white wax worms. Both brothers and sisters felt that this might be an opportunity for Song Yuyan to make a fortune, so they also helped out with many ideas on the contract.

However, according to the plan, it is Lou Gao who pays and pays people, but the forests for planting ash trees and privets have not been found yet, and Song Yuyan is a serious person. Since she has decided to develop this business, then I will not be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Tang Zhi said: "Did the Lou family send anyone to look for it?"

"I have sent someone, but I have to pay attention to this matter. After all, white wax worms are more delicate, and the requirements for foster care and wax production are different for tree species."

Tang Zhi hadn't heard about the breeding experience of white wax worms yet, and now he became curious: "Why, white wax worms have different requirements for different trees?"

"Well, although privet, small-leaf privet, and ash tree are all parasitic trees of ash worms, ash worms generally like to parasitize on privet trees, but the secretion of wax on ash trees is much better than that of privet trees. Much more waxy."

These are all the experiences gained from raising ash worms in later generations, and no one would think so much at the moment, they only know that privet or ash trees are trees that ash worms can parasitize on.However, because there are very few ash trees in the south, people in many places don't even know that ash worms can be raised.

So what Song Yuyan thought was to find privet to hang the worms, and then move them to the ash tree when the female worms lay eggs in May and June.As for the insect seeds, Song Yuyan asked Lou Gao to send someone directly to the Lianghuai area to buy them. As long as the first batch of white wax worms were raised, there would be no need to go to other places to buy insect seeds.

Tang Zhi listened to Song Yuyan read the Breeding Sutra for a while, and then asked, "Why did you tell me all of the time? Could it be that you are so stupid to Bai Wulang and Lord Lou?"

Being called "stupid" by a little girl, Song Yuyan was not convinced: "Little lady is different from them."

Tang Zhi's heart thumped, "What's the difference?"

Song Yuyan thought for a while: "The genders are different."

Tang Zhi: "..."

Is this sexist?

Seeing her angry appearance, Song Yuyan couldn't help laughing out: "I'm teasing you, little girl. The reason I told the little lady is because I believe that even if the little lady knows how to breed white wax worms , but won’t be distracted.”

Her trust in Bai Can and Lou Gao is based on the contract, but her trust in Tang Zhi is pure recognition of her character - although this kind of trust has no basis at all, whoever makes Tang Zhi There is such a charm that makes her trustworthy!

Moreover, she actually wanted Tang Zhi to master this breeding technique. No matter whether this little girl would steal her job in the future, she would give the Tang family another skill. Bar!

Tang Zhi didn't know what she was thinking, but he felt a lot of irony because of her words, so he happily took the money bag, drove the ox cart, and went with her to investigate around Cixi County.

Song Yuyan was very concerned about this matter, but she was not in a hurry at all. Every time Tang Zhi came out with her, it was like traveling in mountains and rivers. She asked, "You have been out frequently recently, what should I do if the work at home falls behind?"

Song Yuyan said: "Recently I sold some bamboo carvings, which equaled my income from selling bamboo weaving for two months, so it's okay to slow down a little this month."

She had given Lou Gao a poem tube before, but Lou Gao had the cheek to ask for a bamboo carving for his father, Lou Hao.Song Yuyan carved a pen holder when he was free.

Lou Gao didn't want her in vain, and directly gave Bamo money with arrogance, which was about 450 liters.

And Lou Gao's actions seemed to have activated some kind of buff. The Song family, which was finally cleansed, became lively again because people came to ask for bamboo carvings one after another.

Among the people looking for bamboo carvings, the rich second generation of the county school are the first to bear the brunt. Although there are not many of them who are eager to learn, they still gather together on weekdays to chat about current affairs.

When they first heard about the bamboo carvings of "Lufang", they didn't pay much attention to them. After all, their collections contain many high-end and elegant jade carvings. Bamboo carvings are also worthless in their eyes.

Until a rich second generation took out a paper fan, on which was a picture of a landscape with a profound artistic conception.What is striking is that a lot of effort has been put into the fan bone. The engraved picture is coherent with the landscape picture on the paper. Others can tell at a glance that the fan bone and the painting on the paper are one, and the conception is very ingenious.

The painting on this paper fan happened to be drawn by Lufang, and the elegant and delicate green of the fan bones was also carved by Lufang.

He said: "I begged for it with a lot of money."

Speaking of this matter, I have to go back to the family of this rich second generation, their family has contacts with Lou's family, and his old father is also friends with Lou Hao.

One day when Lou Hao invited old friends to get together, his old father also went there, but he came back angrily, saying that he was not comfortable being shown off by Lou Hao.

The rich second generation thought that his family was not poorer than the Lou family, and his old father had never seen gold, silver, treasures, rare and exotic animals, and they could still be shown off?

His old father was still there angrily shouting: "Lou Hao has it, how can I not?!"

So the rich second generation watched the old father send someone to buy Lufang's bamboo carvings, but the person who came back said that the "artist" whose real name was Song Yuyan rejected him.

The rich second generation thought that the old father would turn into anger from embarrassment, but the old father had expected it a long time ago: "That guy Lou Hao told me that it was the same money from the Zhizhou that he had so hard to ask for. It can be seen that the recording party has a big temper, so we You can’t come to the hard ones, but to the soft ones!”

Seeing the rich second generation dangling in front of him, the old father came up with a plan, and immediately directed him to the Song family: "I heard that Lou Gao moved Lu Fang because of his filial piety, so you should also do your filial piety and act for me." Well, I have a present for you, Father."

The old father opened his mouth, how could the rich second generation refuse, so he could only go to the Song family to act as a dutiful son.

Regardless of whether Song Yuyan believed in his play or not, she finally agreed to help carve a piece of Liuqing.

The rich second generation said again: "It's better to be different." In this way, his old father will have face, won't he?

Song Yuyan drew a landscape painting for him, and made a paper fan. Because of the many processes and her painting involved, the price was a little expensive.

The rich second generation bought it without even frowning: the more expensive the better, only expensive can make the old father overwhelm Lou Hao, right?

However, within a few days after the paper fan was in the hands of the old father, he brazenly used it to show off.And his classmates were really shown off to the point of comparison.

……

Song Yuyan said again: "Aside from this matter, I didn't plan to spend so much time on inspections every month, because if I delay it for a longer time, I will miss the best time to build the wax garden."

Seeing that Song Yuyan had a plan in mind, Tang Zhi didn't say any more.

The two of them searched for half a month, with Loujia and Baican playing their respective roles in it, and finally found a low mountain forest near Sanguo Mountain, [-] miles south of the county, where many privet trees grew. , and it is close to the water source, and the soil is suitable for transplanting ash trees. It is one of the few forest lands that have not been reclaimed as farmland.

Of course, the most important factor is that there are many wax worms infested there.There are white wax parasites, which means that the area is suitable for the survival of white wax worms.

And it is precisely because many people do not know about white wax insects that they think that this forest is seriously infested with insects, so it has not been developed as an orchard.

After more than a month of exploration and discussion, they finally settled here.

Lou Gao rushed to go through the formalities of enclosing this forest land, and the people who went to Lianghuai also responded, saying that there are indeed people breeding white wax worms there.

As for how to buy white wax worms at the cheapest price, Song Yuyan and Bai Can didn't care too much. This matter had to be handled by the professional Lou family, who were only responsible for the construction of the wax garden.

However, Song Yuyan had a hard time choosing insect species.Although Bai Can could understand the "excellent bug species" and "the bug species that should be eliminated" she said, she couldn't tell the difference, and she hated bugs, so she didn't want to get too close.

Tang Zhi, who was temporarily hired as a driver, thought about it: "You must be afraid of bugs, right?"

Song Yuyan was very frank: "Is this strange?"

Tang Zhi: "..."

After knowing this person for so many years, it was the first time that she knew that she still had something to fear.

Tang Zhi felt that there was finally a trace of smoke and fire on this man.
