The system wants my local master gl

The problem of canals is a big problem for the common people. Even if they are of the same clan, as long as there is a water source problem between their own field and the neighboring field, it is always easy to cause disputes.For example, the fields of the clansmen in the clan are basically adjacent to each other, and in places far from the river, a pond will be dug in the middle to facilitate the clansmen to carry water nearby.

However, when carrying water, the water level drops, and the people far away will think that the people who are closer carry the most water, so they use up the water and don't leave it for other tribesmen.

The family near the pond feels wronged, and on the contrary thinks that the clansmen far away from the pond deliberately trampled on their fields when they came to fetch water.

The family can help mediate this kind of thing once or twice, but they can't mediate to everyone's satisfaction every time.

Song Yuyan believes that since it is a water source problem, it is better to start from the source.In fact, there are not many water sources in Cixi. As long as the weirs and gates in various important places are properly set up, irrigation and drainage can be solved.

After surveying the terrain and water sources, Song Yuyan found that it was not that the Song family had not dug canals, which directly made the river water flow into the ponds. However, the canals they dug always tended to cause water accumulation in the upstream farmland near the river, and when the water in the canals flowed to the downstream, it was easy to accumulate water. Always insufficient.

So she designed several water conservancy projects mainly for small farms.For example, according to the concentration of farmland of the tribe, ditches for irrigation and drainage, small-scale irrigation areas, and irrigation water networks for drought resistance are dug, and a few more reservoirs are dug. Because the design is reasonable and appropriate, the river water will flow along the These ditches flow into the reservoir, and the embarrassing situation that the upstream of the ditches will not accumulate water and the downstream will not have water will no longer occur.

This will not only benefit the Song clan, but also benefit the nearby fields. Some people even asked why the Song clan chief had ditches before, but there were so many problems, but now there are no such problems?

The patriarch of the Song family didn't understand either, so he asked Song Yuyan, but Song Yuyan explained it several times, but he still didn't understand.He comforted himself, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I just need to know that Yam probably has a lot of ideas in this regard."

So Song Yuyan, who "has an idea", has the right to speak in the clan meeting.

At a family meeting summarizing this papermaking, Song Yuyan thought that more varieties of bamboo paper could be made to make Song’s papermaking workshop famous. Fine bamboo paper.

Government documents and literati have extremely high requirements for paper. If such high-quality bamboo paper can be produced, it will definitely attract these people to buy paper, and the reputation of the workshop will also increase greatly.

What the Song family wants is not just to maintain the wealth in front of them. From the patriarch to the clan members, everyone hopes that the Song family can become a prominent family, so Song Yuyan's suggestion moved them very much.It's just that only Song Yuyan understands the finer papermaking process, so they can only entrust this important task to her.

The patriarch thought that Song Yuyan had no reason to work so hard on this matter, so he also paid her wages.After careful consideration, she decided not to pay wages. She knew that there were a lot of low-grade fields in the Song Clan's fields that were not fertile enough. She wanted to rent a few acres, and the rent of this land could be offset by her wages.

The patriarch was slightly surprised: "What are you renting those lands for?"

He hadn't heard that Song Yuyan planned to come back to farm!Besides, the land over there didn't yield any good harvests, and he didn't want Song Yuyan to end up with nothing good after all the hard work.

Song Yuyan didn't want to hide it from the patriarch, so he said, "Mr. Lou's Erlang asked someone to bring some cotton seeds back from Tianzhu. I plan to plant a few acres of cotton. And cotton doesn't have high requirements on the soil, as long as it's fertile and well-drained. The loam soil is fine, I have seen the few acres of inferior fields in the family farm, it is relatively difficult to grow food crops, but it is not a problem to grow cotton."

The patriarch was confused: "What is cotton? Is it kapok? But shouldn't kapok be planted in the forest?"

Song Yuyan patted his head lightly, and smiled awkwardly: "I forgot to explain to you, cotton is a plant from Tianzhu, and the cotton it produces is as white and fluffy as kapok, which can be put into a quilt to keep warm, and kapok It cannot be spun into cloth, but cotton is soft and can be spun into cloth, and most importantly, it produces much more cotton than kapok."

The patriarch's old eyes suddenly brightened up: "Then this cotton is a good thing! Can you grow it?"

"The people sent by Mr. Lou Erlang learned how to plant over there, so you have to try planting to know the result."

The patriarch said: "That Mr. Lou Erlang is really generous to sell you cotton seeds and teach you how to plant them. If you grow cotton, you have to thank him very much."

Song Yuyan smiled and agreed. In fact, Lou Er gave her cotton seeds.After the people from Lou Er came back, he wanted to pull Song Yuyan to plant cotton together, but Song Yuyan thought that Lou Er was the one who contributed the money and effort, and she just mentioned the value and location of the cotton, so Lou Er planted cotton by herself, and she also No idea.

Although the people on the second floor can grow cotton, they don't know how to promote and use cotton.Lou Er knew that Song Yuyan must have an idea, so he discussed it with Song Yuyan. He gave her some seeds and taught her how to grow cotton. After the cotton was successfully grown, she would teach Lou Er how to maximize the value of cotton.

This was a win-win plan, and Song Yuyan had no reason to refuse, so she took the seeds, and after knowing how to plant them, she thought about starting to grow cotton.

The reason why she didn't buy the land was that her money had other uses, and she was not sure that the cotton could be grown smoothly, so she chose to rent the land.Rather than renting other people's fields, it is better to rent the fields of the clan, at least you can choose to pay the rent, and the clan fields are the property of the clan, and no one has the guts to make trouble in the fields.

The patriarch didn't know so much inside information, so he asked Song Yuyan how long he wanted to rent, and Song Yuyan tentatively said, "I don't know what the clan's opinion is if I rent it for three years first?"

The patriarch nodded: "Three years are good. If you are not sure that you can feed the cotton, you can stop the loss in time in three years. If you grow it, you can go directly to buy land, and you don't have to rent the clan's land anymore."

Song Yuyan talked with the patriarch about the details of renting the land, because the rent for the few acres of land is not very expensive, and the current renting method is the sharing of grain. Song Yuyan did not grow grain, so the rent will come from the wages she directed to make paper in the clan. Withhold until the wages are deducted.

The patriarch decided to rent the few acres of land to her, and the clan had no objection. After all, the few acres of land had always been useless. The clan land was public property and could not be sold. If the crops were rented to tenants, the harvest would be too poor, and the tenants would often withdraw the rent.Song Yuyan was willing to rent it, which prevented the field from continuing to fall into disrepair.

As for what Song Yuyan rented the few acres of land for planting, she and the patriarch did not disclose it.

When Song Yuyan rented the family land, he also went back to Yuanshen's house several times.The original dilapidated, dusty and cobweb-filled small farmyard has now taken on a completely new look. The main house sits northwest and faces southeast, with a room on the left and right, and a room on the left with two rooms inside.

Diagonally opposite the main house is the kitchen and utility room, behind the main house there is a latrine and a shed built with grass and trees, and the rest is the courtyard.

In addition to an Eight Immortals table and two long benches in the hall of the main house, only Song Yuyan's bedroom has beds and other furniture.When she came back, she would go back and add some things to the other rooms, because she had to hire someone to help her with the cotton fields, so it could be rented to someone else, but only after she got married.

Uncle 21 told her a lot of taboos. If she lets people live in, it will be unlucky when they get married.When the time came, she would have to welcome Tang Zhi back here, and then live in Cixi County after Tang Zhi returned home on the third day.

It is also because of this that Song Yuyan, who has no sense of belonging to this house, regards it as a real home, not just a place to stay.

She learned a lot about Tang Zhi's preferences before setting them up, so the bed, table, etc. were made according to Tang Zhi's preferences, and she even went to the battle herself, carving some patterns on the bed, tables and chairs.

When getting married, the man needs to prepare beds, mats, tables and chairs, and the woman needs to prepare bedding and curtains.Tang Zhi did not choose to buy quilts and curtains outside, but embroidered patterns on the quilt by himself after buying the cloth.

Not many people know that Tang Zhi can embroider. She learned it from her mother when she was a child, but after her mother passed away, she didn't have much chance to embroider. At most, she just did some needlework.

Even Tang Zhi's brother Tang Haogen didn't know about it. After he learned about it from his wife, his jaw almost dropped. He thought that according to his sister's character, making shoes was the end, but he didn't expect There will be more embroidery that will test patience and concentration.

He said sourly to his wife: "We have been living together as brothers and sisters for so many years, but she has never shown this in front of my elder brother."

Chen Caiqi rolled his eyes at him: "Why do you have the nerve to say this? As an elder brother, you don't even know your own sister. It's useless for you to call yourself Ah Zhi's elder brother!"

Chen Caiqi didn't know what he thought of, and sighed, "You are incompetent, big brother, Ah Zhi is a careful and gentle person, and it's because you can't protect her, so she can only make herself look like a pungent Little Pepper, but she doesn't know that her knife and mouth are all ground out by life."

Tang Haogen touched his nose resentfully, he naturally knew, so he always felt that he owed Tang Zhi.It's just that apart from finding Tang Zhi a husband who can take care of her and listen to her, he can only be a solid backing for his sister if he works hard to climb up the ladder.

He didn't blame his wife for scolding him for dereliction of duty. In order to avoid his wife's anger from "babbling", he quickly changed the subject and went to touch his wife's belly, which was already showing signs of pregnancy.

Chen Caiqi slapped his paw away angrily, telling him to roll away.

The pregnant woman has a big temper, Tang Haogen didn't bother with her, instead he played tricks in front of his wife with a cheeky smile, and finally coaxed his wife whose face was cloudy just now into a bright sunshine.

In order to let Song Yuyan know how good his sister is, Tang Haogen specially told her: "Azhi recently embroidered quilts at home. She has never done this kind of delicate female red since she was a child, but because of you, she hurt her fingers several times. Let me tell you, such a virtuous woman like her is rare, you have to cherish her!"

Song Yuyan heard that Tang Zhi hurt her finger, so she put down what she was doing and went to the pharmacy to get some external medicine for her to see her.

When they arrived at Tang's house, Chen Caiqi heard about her intentions and had a strange expression on her face, but she still led Song Yuyan to the window of Tang Zhi's room, without saying anything, just pointed to the window quietly.

Song Yuyan bent down a little, and could see Tang Zhi sitting quietly on the stool by the window sill, concentrating on embroidering the cloth in her hand. At this time, she was different from her usual lively and flamboyant appearance. Her quiet appearance gave Song Yuyan a sigh of relief. A feeling of tranquility.

After thinking about it, Song Yuyan knocked on the window sill, Tang Zhi turned to look at her, his brows and eyes frowned: "Why are you here?"

Song Yuyan took out the medicine for her and said, "I'm afraid your fingers will be hurt, so I brought you some ointment."

Tang Zhi said, "I'm not hurt."

"I don't believe it, show me?"

Tang Zhi stretched out his hand, Song Yuyan grabbed her hand and looked carefully, there was indeed no needle wound.But she didn't let go immediately, but kissed quickly, and said with a smile: "That also has to prevent injury."

Tang Zhi: "..."

Her face and body became hot quickly, especially when she saw her sister-in-law's gossiping and surprised gaze from the corner of her eyes, she almost wanted to dig a hole to bury herself.

She quickly pushed Song Yuyan out of her window sill, and closed the window again. At the end, she covered her face and cursed shyly: "The prodigal son!"

Song Yuyan cheekily opened the window and put down the ointment before she was willing to leave. As soon as she turned around, she saw Chen Caiqi who was eager to take out melons and fruits to eat, but she had always been thick-skinned towards outsiders, so she greeted Chen Caiqi calmly.

Chen Caiqi: "..."

My God, Song Dalang is really bold and unrestrained, so Meng Lang!

But she really likes Meng Lang's behavior...

When Tang Haogen came back, his wife suddenly asked him to do many things about Meng Lang.

Tang Xiancheng: "???"
