Leisurely Daily [System]

Wang Guanshi is called Wang Yuanzheng.

All maintenance of Guishou Mountain is in charge of Wang Yuanzheng and others.They can eat unlimited amount of that dish every few days, this is the kindness of Jiang Fan.Theoretically speaking, on that day, it is their own business how to deal with the share of vegetables that should be eaten by them. If they secretly sell them for money, it will definitely be a big sum in the long run.

The more cunning ones might have done this long ago, but Wang Yuanzheng and the others have always adhered to the bottom line of being a human being. The owner is kind, but they can't take it for granted to use this kindness to make money.Just now, for example, a steward gave him money, which actually meant that he hoped that Wang Yuanzheng would sell them the vegetables they ate. The money was kept by Wang Yuanzheng himself. It was more than his daily salary, but in the end Wang Yuanzheng sold it to them. It was sold, but the money received was the income from the sale on the public account, and I didn't have any money.

Of course, they were all selected by Guan Xiujin and sent to Jiang Fan's subordinates. If their character was not good, Guan Xiujin would not take them seriously.

There are fewer good dishes at noon. Fortunately, there are ordinary vegetables bought in the past in the kitchen. The taste is much worse, but it is much better than when they used to have problems eating.

At the dinner table, Miao San and the brothers got to know each other about the situation.Miao San told everyone that their caravan will definitely have more people in the future, and those who save money can apply to the owner and go back to Lishan Village with them.

Although life in Guishou Mountain is comfortable, Wang Yuanzheng is fine. Whether he was in the army before or now, he has the ability to lead the pack. His wages in Guishou Mountain are higher than those of the restaurant shopkeepers outside. Others are different. When they joined the army, they only had brute strength, and it is the same now. They are aware of their own situation, and worry that they will be really useless if they continue to indulge in enjoyment and lose their fighting spirit.So many people would rather be tired than run outside with Miao San.

Since the mutual market was closed, the once bustling waterways in Dazhou have become increasingly scarce, and the man-made canals have been lacking in maintenance, and have been sluggish or even abandoned for many years. Now there is no waterway from Licheng to Shangjing for merchant ships. This batch of red Shuangguo is only the first batch of ripe ones, and the amount is still very small. It will not be until August when it matures and explodes. At that time, even the surrounding areas of Licheng County will help digest some, but the rest will depend on The size of their current caravan is still not enough to transport all the goods to Shangjing.

And Miao San and the others know that besides Huomi fruit and Hongshuang fruit, there are two kinds of fruits planted on those mountains in Jiang Fan. At that time, they couldn't just rely on a caravan to go back and forth as they do now. Escort, it's too time-consuming.

What Miao San said was also what Jiang Fan thought about, so he really hoped that the mutual market would be reopened, and the roads and canals would be followed by a wave of maintenance. The grand occasion of the boat flow.

***

After the Wanshou Festival, the DPRK and China suddenly issued several orders to reopen the mutual market, reset the "mutual market supervision", and then draft the trading rules of the mutual market, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to maintain and repair the official roads and canals leading to the mutual markets. month begins.

This news was very exciting, and businessmen from all over the country rushed to spread the news. Before Miao San and the others returned to the village, Jiang Fan knew about this news, and it was delivered to him by Guan Xiujin's people.

In addition to the news of the re-opening of the mutual market, Guan Xiujin also told Jiang Fan what happened after he returned to Beijing as in the previous correspondence. The letter finally mentioned his return date, and it might take October before he could communicate with Jiang Fan. Goodbye Van.

"It will take so long to come back." Jiang Fan read the letter over and over again, it's only a dozen or so in August now... He deeply feels that he is now like a lump of Wangfushi.

After receiving the letter, Jiang Fan continued to instruct his servants to prepare the "herbicide".

In order to start transplanting tea saplings on the tea mountain in September, Jiang Fan recruited more than a hundred or ten laborers. The poison for plants is also a plant. After it blooms, the petals will drip a kind of juice. This juice will not cause any problems to humans, animals or the land. Only the flowers and plants will be poisoned to death and finally turned into nutrients. absorbed by it.

Jiang Fan asked the handymen to cut at the root of the tree, as long as there is a wound on the bark, and then smear the juice around the wound, wait for three or four days, and the tree will rot from the outside of the wound to the heart of the tree , and then continue to erode the roots in a very targeted downward direction, causing the tree to die quickly.So although it is a herbicide, it is also a tree killer.

The area where the wound spreads and rots is not wide, but it is enough for the workers to easily push down the tree and then transport it down the mountain, or sell it directly to those in need, or let the short-term workers cut it down and dry it in the woodshed.As for the tree roots left in the ground, because they have withered, there is no need to worry about them at all, just wait for them to be turned into nutrients, and there is no need to worry about regrowing them next year.

When Shiyincha tea saplings started the second wave of planting, the local tea trees that Boss Xiao had found for Jiang Fan also arrived. go down.

When Miao San and the others returned to Lishan Village again, it was late August. There were many carts parked at the entrance of the village, and baskets of red frost fruits were transported down the mountain to be loaded here. It will be shipped to every corner of Dazhou.

These are the well-informed merchants nearby who came to buy the Hongshuang fruit by themselves, and the purchase price was six taels of silver per catty.

There are already a lot of pottery urns of red frost fruit in the warehouse. Miao San and the others rested for two days before setting off again. Thanks to the nutritious vegetables Jiang Fan sent over every time, eating one meal relieved their fatigue from the journey. , so that they can quickly recover their physical strength and spirit, otherwise, if they travel back and forth so frequently, most people will not be able to resist physically.

At the end of August, the construction of Jiang Fan's new house was finally completed, and all the furniture was moved in and arranged, just waiting to move in.

Jiang Fan chose an auspicious day to move, and hired a few cooks to make a banquet for the villagers who came to congratulate him.Jiang Fan was very disappointed. On such a happy day of moving, it would be great if Guan Xiujin was here, so that he could have fun with him.

In September, most of the tea hills were cleaned up, and the autumn harvest began to be busy in all parts of the village.

The red jade fruit and purple fragrant fruit in Jiang Fan's field this year also matured again, and part-time workers were hired again to pick them.

Now Jiaoyan Pavilion in the town, apart from selling skin care products, the biggest thing now is to post recruitment notices to Jiang Fan to recruit workers. For example, people from Wangjia Village were in charge of the restoration of the tea mountain before, and there was no one to transplant the tea trees. What a new way.This time, there were not enough manpower to pick the red jade fruit and purple fragrant fruit, so they had to recruit again.

Jiang Fan alone provided countless jobs to the nearby villagers.When these villagers saw him in the past, they would either call him Young Master Jiang or Master Jiang, but now everyone calls him "Jiang Dashan".

Jiang Fan said that this title is very down-to-earth...

During the autumn harvest, all the sugarcane seedlings that Jiang Fan wanted were in place. After the autumn harvest, the rented land in Fushui Village was freed up. When Chashan began to transplant tea seedlings, Jiang Fan also began to hire villagers from Fushui Village to grow sugarcane for him. .

Jiang Fan, who was more than ten years old in August, still felt that there was still a long, long time before Guan Xiujin came back in October, but when he was done with everything, the time had already passed October, and Guan Xiujin hadn't come back yet.

One night in early November, Jiang Fan picked up a pot of wine and went to Guanyu Tower alone. It was the two-story pavilion closest to the West Mountain. The second floor had no windows on all sides, only wooden curtains to prevent rain.

There are no lights on the Guanyu Tower, and several jade cocoons are planted together above, and the glowing cocoon balls gather together to form a gentle and bright beam of light. There are some hanging like this in the building, so although there are no lights, but The attic is also very bright.

There was a short table on the pavilion, Jiang Fan put the wine glass and jug on it, and sat on the floor with bare feet by the window. The outside of this window faced the bamboo forest on the other side of the river, the direction of the bamboo house.

It was pitch black in the bamboo forest. During Guan Xiujin's absence, Jiang Fan went to the bamboo house several times in a boat. Although the owner was not there, there were always people in the bamboo house, and they cleaned it as usual every day, waiting for the owner to return.

What Jiang Fan drank was from the county magistrate Zhong Zhixue when he moved before, and it was stronger than the fruit wine Jiang Fan drank. In the past, this level of alcohol was not a problem to him at all, but now that he hasn't touched it for a long time, even if he His physical fitness has improved in all aspects, and Jiang Fan felt that he was actually a little drunk when most of the pot went down.

Otherwise, why did a few faint lights suddenly appear at the end of the bamboo forest, slowly coming towards this side.

Jiang Fan leaned against the window with his wine glass in his hand, looking over there with drunken eyes.

The light was getting closer and closer, and it was going straight ahead, but suddenly stopped for some reason, and then the light turned and walked towards the river bank.

After the light passed through layers of bamboo branches, the person holding the lamp was finally completely exposed to the moonlight.

Jiang Fan was stunned, and looked at the lamp holder across the river.

It was Guan Xiujin, who finally returned in Jiang Fan's yearning.

"Ah Jin, you're finally back!" Jiang Fan was really drunk at this time, he was very excited, but he sat there without moving, waved his hand over there like a child, and raised his glass to the opposite side, "Ah Jin, come drink."

When Jiang Fan was drunk, he thought that his loud voice should resound through heaven and earth, but his voice was so small and soft that it didn't reach the other side of the river at all.

Guan Xiujin seemed to have heard it, and crossed the river with a boat under the moonlight. When Guan Xiujin got ashore, Jiang Fan would no longer be able to see him from his position.

But Jiang Fan knew that Ah Jin must have come to look for him.
