Leisurely Daily [System]

At the banquet, eyes from all directions converged on Jiang Fan.

Everyone is curious about Jiang Fan, mainly because they are curious about the plants in his hands that can prolong life. He is not very young, but he compares many people who have been involved in this industry for decades. The fruits, flowers, etc. that he took out , Many people have never heard of it before, and the most important thing is that no one else can grow those plants except him.

Such an advantage really made them envious.

Jiang Fan was not stage fright either, he would answer some people's curious questions as soon as he could, and just smiled if he didn't want to say anything.

There are many officials who like to grow flowers and plants. Some of them talk about the problems they usually encounter and ask Jiang Fan for advice, taking the opportunity to get closer to Jiang Fan.

Then someone couldn't hold back anymore and asked about Jiang Fan's marriage.

This person felt that he was asking casually and casually, and was waiting for Jiang Fan's answer, when he saw Wang An's eyes suddenly shot at him coldly, making him shiver all over.When he was frightened, he also looked blank, what, what's the matter, this is, he seems to have offended Wang An all of a sudden?

Under the expression of "Do you want to die?" on Wang An's face, this person couldn't care less about why he displeased Wang An, let alone caring about Jiang Fan's answer. He shrank his head and wanted to bury himself in front of him. on the plate

Jiang Fan smiled slightly, ignoring the man who was frightened into a quail by Guan Xiujin's look, and turned his head to continue talking to the others.

During the period, someone made a toast to Jiang Fan. They were generals, and they were the first to speak for Jiang Fan.These people have all fought bloody battles on the battlefield. In times of peace, soldiers usually encounter all kinds of contempt. They feel that when they are not fighting, they are just idlers. Those who work hard on the border are more likely to be ignored.Jiang Fan is the first ordinary person who has thought about them in this way for many years. To be honest, even if he didn't have the cotton, even if he had this heart, the generals were very moved. There was a feeling that their hard work was finally recognized The relief in the eyes.

Not to mention, they also heard from some old subordinates who had retired due to injuries that many of them worked with Jiang Fan, and their lives looked more glamorous than those of them who were officials in the court.

No matter where he was, Jiang Fan respected the soldiers very much, and hurriedly stood up with a glass of wine to pay back.His humble appearance made several generals even more fond of him.They also wanted to ask Jiang Fan if he had a favorite girl, but before they could ask, Guan Xiujin who was next to him suddenly stood up and glanced at them coldly.

The generals were big-hearted and didn't receive Guan Xiujin's eyes at all. Seeing that Guan Xiujin was about to leave the table, one of them raised his cup and said, "My lord, I want to drink twice as much with you!"

They were also very grateful to Guan Xiujin, many old subordinates were able to work and eat under Jiang Fan's hands thanks to his blessing.They have heard a lot of slander against King An, saying that his mind is not right, but the person who can find a way out for the wounded soldiers who are already useless is not a person who hides traitors.

Jiang Fan put down his wine glass and laughed dryly, "Prince may be overwhelmed with alcohol, so I'll accompany him to rest for a while."

Seeing the two leaving together, the military generals are at a loss, the prince is too strong to drink, why do you want you to accompany him?

Jiang Fan followed Guan Xiujin's buttocks, went to a place where no one was around, and stretched out his hand to pull Guan Xiujin's sleeve: "Are you jealous again?"

Guan Xiujin said generously, "It will still be sore for a few days."

Jiang Fan grinned, "Now you know how I felt at the time." He was talking about the fact that Guan Xiujin deliberately used his marriage to stimulate him.

This can also be said to be yes, it’s not that we don’t report, it’s that the time has not yet come.

Guan Xiujin took Jiang Fan's hand that was pulling his sleeve, and pulled him to his side, "We will announce the wedding date next year."

Next year, tree rocks and condensed stone vines will be put into use early. Such good things that benefit the country and the people will increase the positive evaluation of Jiang Fan by the world.This year, so many people came to ask about Jiang Fan's marriage, and if they don't disclose their affairs, I'm afraid there will be people chasing Jiang Fan and stuffing his daughter next to him.

Although the relationship between the two had turned to the old couple model, it was good if they didn't get it. Jiang Fan had been looking forward to his wedding with Guan Xiujin from the very beginning.Hearing Guan Xiujin's mention at this time, he was naturally very happy.

"Next year? What month is suitable?"

Guan Xiujin dragged him to walk slowly, "Let Qin Tian watch over the day."

Jiang Fan: "It's best to choose a season when it's not hot."

"Do you like spring or autumn?"

"Autumn, the season of harvest."

After the two went out, they didn't go back until the banquet was almost over.Guan Xiujin went back to the palace with Jiang Fan as it was already against the rules to stay in the palace again.

Jiang Fan and the others stayed in Shangjing and returned to Lishan Village after the Lantern Festival. Before that, they had settled the affairs of the academy for Gu Yuantao. He would stay here to study and live with Gu Fangqiu on weekdays, as he himself said Yes, I want to stay here to help my sister investigate her future brother-in-law.

When we returned to Lishan Village, it was already mid-March.

Previously, Guan Xiujin bought the mountains that Jiang Fan needed in a few villages in the same direction as the town and Lishan Village. There were several hills covering an area of ​​more than a thousand acres. Organized.

After returning, two of those hilltops have been sorted out, and the seedlings of tree rocks and stone vines, which were first raised on the west mountain, were all transplanted there, and special personnel were assigned to strictly manage them, and they were planted by division every ten days. At the end of the month, half of the top of the mountain has been planted. With the division of plants, the speed of planting the top of the mountain will become faster and faster in the future.After May, the two plants that have been planted can be put into use, and as long as the germ segment and germ core are kept, they can be used while continuing to plant without delay.

Last year, Lishan Village bought a lot of floating flowers. Spring is coming, but there are still pink and white greenhouses everywhere in the village. When the weather gets warmer, these greenhouses will be taken down, but they will not be thrown away. They must be kept well. Will continue to use it this winter.

Jiang Fan also went to see the crayfish kept in the water tank. Originally there were only a few pairs, but there were constant temperature trees in the village, so these pairs of crayfish were very active throughout the winter. The few that Jiang Fan picked were actually There were those who didn't have time to lay eggs last year, and they only laid eggs now. Jiang Fan asked the person who took care of the crayfish to be careful and give more bait than usual. This is related to how many crayfish he can eat this summer. question.

When the village began to grow sweet potato seedlings, Jiang Fan asked people from Lishan Village and those who worked in the village to tell each other that those who wanted to grow sweet potatoes should reserve space. After the summer harvest, they would come to the village to receive free sweet potato seedlings. first served.Every household in their village has grown a large number of sweet potato seedlings this year, and it is not a problem to supply the hundreds of acres of sweet potato fields in other villages.

Seeing that it was April, Gu Changqing set off for Changyuan again. The cotton seeds left by Changyuan last year could fill Changyuan's [-] mu of land. Some of the fertilizer trees were sold, and they stayed in the local area to manage Changyuan's cotton planting.

After planting in the summer of May, waves of people from other villages came to Lishan Village every day, carrying them on their shoulders, carrying them on their backs, or pulling them by donkey carts. It was extremely lively.

At this time, the tree rocks and condensed stone vines on the mountain have also reached the stage of mature harvesting. Jiang Fan plans to use the tree stones and condensed stone vines to pave a new layer of composite on the stone road from Lishan Village to the small town.

Jiang Fan gave this compound a new name, Baishi pulp, which is simple and easy to understand.

On the day when the paving started, Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin were fine, so they went to have a look.To pave the road, in addition to the relevant preparations, the first step is naturally to harvest the tree rocks and stone vines, because the flow direction must be kept secret, so harvesting these at this time requires people to watch closely. Carry out a body search to prevent those who want to hide the germ segment and the germ heart.

Most of the people who come to harvest are coming into contact with tree rocks and Ningshi vine for the first time. Fortunately, Ningshi vine looks like a plant.The trees and rocks lying there are like fast rocks. When the reapers cut it with a knife, they still had a puzzled expression. After the knife cut a piece easily and without hindrance, they were even more surprised.

The cut trees and stones should be placed in baskets, but the tangle vine is not good, as its juice will overflow when it breaks, so it must be placed in pots, jars and the like.

Harvest here, and the two plants that were cut off there were sent to the road repair section.

The workers are separating a small section of road to be newly paved, leaving half paved and the other half for donkey carts and ox carts, and a row of smooth wooden boards are erected on one side to prevent the white stone slurry from flowing out at that time, and the other half is also prepared The wooden planks, however, are not needed for the time being. The wooden planks will not be sealed until the workers have wiped the white stone slurry evenly, so that the white stone slurry will solidify and harden after an hour before being removed.

Because the time is really short, unlike the concrete pavement where you have to wait for several days before you dare to set foot, they finished the first section, and when the third section is finished, the first section can already run a horse-drawn carriage on it. Come down in one morning, They actually finished this half of the whole road.

The speed is really super fast.

The newly paved road was extremely smooth, incomparable to the previous cobblestone road, and it was still white. They couldn't bear to step on it.

"The bunk is just for you to step on." Jiang Fan walked up with a smile, took two steps on the spot, and his feet didn't hurt at all, then turned his head and ordered: "Run up the carriage."

When Jiang Fan came out today, he purposely sat in the carriage with rubber tires, just to try out what it felt like to run.

The wooden boards were removed from the paved section of the road that was ready to run. Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin sat in the car. The driver followed his instructions and ran at a not slow speed, but because of the special wheels, the ground was flat now. In such a fast situation, only a slight shaking can be felt. If the anti-vibration measures inside the carriage are improved, it will feel more stable than riding a train.
