Leisurely Daily [System]

In October, Miao San and the others returned from Shangjing. This time, they were no longer in the small merchant ships of the past, but sailing ships.

Sea ships could not enter the pier of Belvedere, so Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin took a horse-drawn carriage and walked a certain distance to check at the docked place.

There have always been sea merchants going to sea in Dazhou. Nowadays, the shape of many domestic ships combines the characteristics of Dazhou and ships from overseas countries. The three ships of Jiang Fan are also the same, taking advantage of each other's strengths.

Three sea ships, each capable of accommodating a hundred people.Because going to sea is always facing the danger of pirates robbing the ship, so sea-going ships should not only consider their cargo capacity, but also their combat capabilities.

These three ships have narrow and pointed bottoms and open tops; their bows are high and their sterns are high.There are two rudders on board, three storey towers and several masts.The cabin has four floors, where the goods are stored and the crew's work and rest places are located.

Each ship invited several experienced seagoers to guide Miao San and the others to become familiar with seagoing ships.

Because of the contract, Jiang Fan did not limit the goods that Miao San and the others brought to sea, so while they were familiar with sea ships, Miao San and the others also began to purchase goods to take to sea, mainly silk fabrics, tea and porcelain.

For the first time, all the fresh water and food needed for going to sea were provided by Jiang Fan.In order to prevent the crew from getting scurvy, there is room at the bottom of the cabin to grow vegetables. Jiang Fan is very generous. In addition to providing them with vegetables, he also quietly set up nutrients for each piece of soil, and placed a thermostatic tree next to them to ensure that they can always have it. High-quality vegetables improve meals.

Miao San and the others went to sea ships, and Jiang Fan's original merchant ships were taken over by another person. Jiang Fan also had the impression that this person was Wang Yuanzheng, who was in charge of Zhuangzi on Guishou Mountain in Shangjing before, and he was a reliable person.

When going back, Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin took the boat back.

As soon as he returned, Guan Xiujin received a letter from his subordinate Kuai Ma.

Jiang Fan sat next to him drinking tea, saw his brows move, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

There were two pieces of letter paper, Guan Xiujin handed him the letter paper he had read first, "About you."

"Me?" Jiang Fan took it with a smile, "Is it a letter from Resolute?"

In the end, it turned out that it was far from what he thought.

According to the letter, it is now rumored in Shangjing that Mr. Jiang has no family affection and filial piety. After getting into the relationship between the emperor and King An, he took the opportunity to retaliate against the uncle's family.

Originally, even if Jiang Fan was such a person, it was still a private matter of the Jiang family, which should be resolved internally, but his good grandmother, at a banquet, publicly criticized him and angered him for all kinds of unfilial acts.So one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, Jiang Fan used the mouth of King An and the emperor, and the enthusiasm of Baizhen Pavilion, he was not an unknown person, so these rumors about him spread in a few days. .

Now the label that the outside world puts on Jiang Fan has changed from a knowledgeable and wise benevolent person to a deliberate and deliberate hypocrite.

The contents of the letter made Jiang Fan smile. These rumors did not affect him at all. He shook the letter and said, "Since this is the case, I don't know if anyone still buys the things in my store."

"A lot." Guan Xiujin said, and handed him the second piece of letter paper.

But no, the second one says that although Mr. Jiang's reputation is not good, there are quite a few people who go to Baizhen Pavilion and Jiaoyan Pavilion to buy things every day, or even more.After all, some people have a bad sense of the shop owner, and they will give up using the goods sold by the other party, so many people also hope that those who have a reduced sense of Mr. Jiang will no longer buy things from Baizhen Pavilion, like Zixiangguo. If there is a limited number of sales, the supply can be increased, and they can buy more at a time to save.It's just that the development of the situation is destined to disappoint these people.

The amount of information in the letter is quite large. The person who wrote the letter said that the old lady of the Jiang family was about to leave for Lishan Village, and asked Guan Xiujin if she would stop her.

Jiang Fan said: "Did the Jiang family send someone? Did you stop it for me? Not just once."

Guan Xiujin said: "It was stopped."

This started when Guan Xiujin first met Jiang Fan. At that time, he felt that Jiang Fan knew plants very well. From him, he might be able to find a way to prolong the life of Yi Ye.He checked Jiang Fan's family background at that time, and knew that there was an uncle's family in Shangjing. He didn't know Jiang Fan well at that time, and Jiang Fan's unmotivated behavior before he came to Lishan Village, he was afraid that he would take the initiative to solve Jiang Fan's problem. Instead, he was asked to return to Beijing to live the life of eating and waiting to die.

He hoped that Jiang Fan would be able to live in Lishan Village with "peace of mind", but it was not good for Jiang Feng's family to have any accidents, so he simply let people keep an eye on Jiang Feng's family. If he didn't go down as they expected, he would definitely want to disturb Jiang Fan's "normal life" in Lishan Village. Guan Xiujin made people stop him in the future, regardless of life or death.

Although Guan Xiujin knew that Jiang Fan was on guard against him from the beginning, it must be because he guessed that he was approaching him with a purpose. Although both of them knew it well, it is not easy to explain it to Jiang Fan now. He only said to Jiang Fan: "I don't want them bother you."

Jiang Fan suddenly said: "I said how can I live in Lishan Village so peacefully." After Jiang Fan returned to the village, no matter whether he bought mountains and farmed land and started to open a shop, he never hid his tracks. Why was he so reassured over there that he never paid any attention to him? It turned out that it wasn't that no one came, but that he couldn't come.

Jiang Fan read the letter paper to the end, and at the end, he mentioned the shopkeeper Gu of Jiaoyan Pavilion. She stood up to speak out for Jiang Fan, and talked about the sinister intention of Jiang Feng's family to deliberately raise Jiang Fan, and the embezzlement of the property left by his parents. industry, and the expulsion of Jiang Fan back to the village.

So Shang Jing's comments on Jiang Fan were not one-sided, there were good and bad.

Jiang Fan said: "Jiang Feng, no one restrains him, he is used to being his own master, and he is becoming less and less self-aware."

Jiang Feng released such rumors because he wanted to take advantage of the world's respect for Xiaoyi to suppress him, and to treat him as the former owner of the defunct persimmon who is no longer around.Don't even think about it, even if he is the original owner, but according to the property and influence he has accumulated now, how can such rumors be able to knock him down? The rhetoric released by Gu Fangqiu is enough to destroy their reputation.

Guan Xiu asked: "Your grandmother, should we stop?"

Jiang Fan said: "Come on, let her come and see what she will say."

A few days after Guan Xiujin received the letter, Jiang Fan received another letter from Shangjing Gu Fangqiu, saying the same thing.

Then Gu Changqing also knew.

"It's really deceiving!" Gu Changqing was so angry that he used too much force when he put the teacup, and the teacup was broken, "It really is too long to live comfortably, and I can't even tell the situation."

No matter who sees it, Jiang Fan is quite powerful now, and Jiang Feng should be a man with his tail between his legs. According to that old Li, he hastened to make amends. Maybe Jiang Fan will not care about him, but he wants to roll up his sleeves and fight. Jiang Fan had no reason to wait to be beaten.

Jiang Fan asked someone to clean up the dripping table, and gave Gu Changqing another cup of tea, "Uncle Mo Qi, I guess he still thinks about my property."

The first and second families of the Jiang family have never been separated. Before Jiang Zhen died, Jiang Feng mentioned it after several business losses, but Mrs. Jiang, who was partial to the boss, disagreed, so she continued to live like this.When Jiang Fan was expelled, he didn't think about dividing the family, otherwise at least half of the family property would have to be given to Jiang Fan. He only gave 1000 taels and the land deed of his hometown to send back under the pretext of recuperating the younger generation's injuries and letting the younger generation cultivate their morals.

Now that Jiang Fan has made money, Dafang is getting worse day by day, and now he insists on doing business at a loss, hoping to bring his life back to life.If Jiang Fan is suppressed by Xiaoyi, he will be held by the old lady, and the one held by the old lady will not be their wife.

"He has a good idea!" Gu Changqing snorted coldly, and then he said to Jiang Fan, "Your father's property, we have almost collected it, and now there is only an empty shell left. Jiang Feng is Let people take money from the last weaving and dyeing workshop to fill in the shortfall, and by the end of the year, the hole will not be filled, and the materials on the mountain have already been sold by him, so he can only use those two mountains to pay for it."

At that time, Jiang Feng had nothing.

Jiang Fan said: "Uncle, I can rest assured."

The money that Jiang Feng has been short of money went into Jiang Fan's pocket. Jiang Feng didn't care about anything, so Jiang Fan would look for opportunities to replace his subordinates with his own, and slowly get back what belonged to the original owner.

When Mrs. Jiang arrives in Lishan, she will probably go in November.Therefore, Jiang Fan quickly forgot about Jiang's affairs.

It's already October, and the sweet potatoes in the ground can be dug.

When Jiang Fan and his men appeared in the sweet potato field with hoes and baskets on their shoulders, several old men and women from Lishan Village who were planting wheat in the fields immediately put down their work and came to watch.

Someone asked: "Boss, what is that in this field, red? Is the sweet potato ripe?"

Jiang Fan said: "I reckon it's ripe, you can see that the leaves are starting to turn yellow, I'll dig it first to see."

Jiang Fan also carried a basket, and picked the edible tender tips before digging the sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato vines have strong regeneration ability, and the young leaves don't have much photosynthetic ability. During this period, Jiang Fan asked Uncle Zhang to pick a basket of young shoots to eat back from time to time.At this time, the weather is not too cold, the sweet potatoes can be dug up, and the tops of the sweet potatoes can also be eaten.

Without Jiang Fan's men doing anything, the onlookers rushed up to help.When the nipples were gone, Jiang Fan went up with a hoe himself.

Jiang Fan had never dug sweet potatoes before, but he also knew that a random hoeing would destroy the sweet potatoes, so he carefully pointed the tip of the hoe at the place where the vines grew, and slowly hooked along the direction of the ridge.

When Jiang Fan was digging, everyone was watching intently, and Guan Xiujin also watched the trajectory of the hoe without blinking with his hands behind his back.

"Dug it!" The hoe pushed the soil away, exposing the red-skinned roots half hidden in the soil.

"Hey! What a big one."

"It turns out that this is a sweet potato, and it really is red."

Jiang Fan went straight to get the sweet potato out, and once he got it out, several roots beside it were exposed.

"There is more!" The others excitedly said.

Jiang Fan only dug up a small group, no more than the two sweet potato seedlings he planted at the beginning, but he dug up at least ten sweet potatoes, the smallest one was as big as an adult's fist, and the largest one couldn't hold it with closed palms.
