A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

The activity of paving the road in Jian's Village started vigorously after receiving a 'donation' of 150 taels of silver the next day.

Because it is used to pave village roads, the requirements are not as strict as building houses, and the bluestone slabs used are the cheapest kind.

200 taels of silver were spent to buy bluestone slabs enough to pave the entire village.When Jian Ping came back from buying the bluestone slabs, he also got out the re-planning map of the village and pasted it directly at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

First, the green flagstones were laid around the big banyan tree, and a small square was created, which was regarded as a formal activity area for the villagers.

For the remaining three horizontal and three vertical roads, four rows of bluestone slabs are paved, and the stone slabs are laid vertically, with a distance of about ten centimeters between them.The middle interval is paved with pebbles, which saves money and looks good.

Of course, saving money is key.

Jianjia Village did not hire professional craftsmen for this project. In this dynasty, men from every household were basically able to do some repair work.So it's just a simple paving of the road, and it's not paving the road for the imperial city. The people in the village are naturally capable of doing it.

Jian Ping did not treat the people in the village badly. The men who came to work were paid ten cents a day, the women were paid five cents, and children were paid five cents a day just like women.

This is definitely not gender discrimination, it is distribution according to the type of work.After all, people who serve tea and water cannot be paid the same as those who carry stones to death.

In this way, it is enough for the villagers to be happy.Taking advantage of the fact that it is not a busy time for farming, it is not a big problem for a family to send two people over.

For a while, the progress of the project was very impressive.

When the roads in the village were almost paved, Jian Ping organized the villagers to cut down a lot of bamboo, and circled the gates of each household to create an open space with a width of two meters and a length of eaves.

With a bamboo fence, the whole village became a lot tidier in an instant, and the personal privacy of every household was slightly improved.

It took half a month to complete this large project.Fortunately, paving the road for the village is a collective job. Although there are wages, everyone knows that it is better to finish these things as soon as possible.

After all, it may be another round of busy farming in a month or so. If the village affairs have not been finished by then, what should I do with my own affairs?

Then during this period, the hundred plum trees that Jian Ping bought were also sent over.The road to the west of Jian's Village is the road leading to the barracks, which has been planned by Jian Ping as a bamboo forest, so there is nothing to say.

But the north side of the village, that is, the direction leading to the small river, is basically regarded as the land owned by Jian Ping himself.

Because it goes to the river, it is basically a river beach gravel land, which was originally a wasteland. After Jian Ping bought it, he could provide some funds for the village, so naturally no one would object.

Jian Ping's [-]-acre watermelon field is near the village. Although it is said to be near the river, it is actually a little far away from the river.

But the newly bought one hundred plum trees firmly surround the entire west side.

As for Jian Ping's gradual occupation of almost the entire west side of the village, let's talk about the area occupied by Jian's Village in detail.

An ordinary village with an area of ​​about [-] mu is not bad, but Jianjia Village has expanded to about [-] mu because of the addition of outside households.

However, the field area of ​​Jianjia Village is nearly 150 hectares. It may look huge, but the area that can be used to grow food is not more than [-] mu.For a village with [-] households, no more than [-] mu of plantation land means that each family does not have even [-] mu of land on average.

Uncle Tian's family has the most land in the village, with [-] acres of dry land and [-] acres of paddy fields.The situation of Jian Ping's family can be regarded as above average.Of course, now that Jian Ping has purchased a lot of gravel land, it can be regarded as the largest in terms of area.

So under such circumstances, there are still many people in the village who have only four or five acres of land, or even two or three acres of land, or none at all.

The reason why Jianjia Village has such a large area is entirely because the bamboo mountains on three sides around Jianjia Village are all counted within the scope of Jianjia Village.

The bamboo mountain here is naturally not the kind of endless mountain, but the kind of small hill, the kind of small hill that can walk back and forth in half an hour, and the kind of small hill with at most three or four hundred bamboos growing on a small hill .

However, the large number cannot be supported. Considering that the aborigines are allocated at least two or three bamboo hills to each family, one can imagine how many villagers can be allocated a small hill to each family.

But because the bamboo mountains here are all bitter bamboo, and not even a few bamboo rats can grow in the forest, there is no money to buy and sell, so it can only be regarded as a psychological comfort in the past.

But now that Jian Ping is here, he can finally make some money.

The geographical location of Jian's Village, in terms of environment, can be regarded as the junction of north and south.But judging from the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was a bit too close to the border.

Continuing to the north at a fast pace, less than a day's journey is the border, so there are only Jianjia Village and the opposite village as the two extreme villages.

Under such circumstances, as long as there is money and ability, it is not difficult for Jianjia Village to expand the area of ​​the village.

It's just that the farther you go to the border, the more unsafe it is, and the soil fertility is not enough, so no one has that idea.

However, the land belongs to the imperial court after all, and you still have to pay money if you want to expand it.

In a word, although there is not much land that can be planted in Jianjia Village, the area is not generally large.Therefore, even if there are 150 households in the village, it will not take up much land to live in.

The general layout is a square, but it is not such a standard square.So if you look towards the parallel direction to the west where Jian Ping lives, there is no second family.

To put it more bluntly, Jian Ping's house is the only one in a place protruding to the west.The current Jian Ping family has changed a lot.

What's going on in the room is invisible to others.But outside, things have changed a lot.Like the people in the village, the small front yard separated by a bamboo fence has already grown a lot of things.

Growing rapidly around the bamboo fence were briars dug from further hills.Because it is almost the season of opening, it has bloomed brilliantly after digging for half a month.

What's more, with Jian Ping's golden finger, it is difficult for plants to grow well.

Also because of the brilliant wild roses in front of Jian Ping's house, people in the whole village went to the distant mountains to find a lot of these things and planted them in front of their house.

There are several varieties of trees that I like, and at least one or two trees that I don’t like very much will follow the trend and plant them at the gate of the courtyard.Although it is not as bright and beautiful as Jian Ping's house, it is still a kind of wild beauty.

Suddenly, driven by Jian Ping's family, the whole village changed from neat to beautiful.Even some villagers who didn't take it seriously at first, now look at the village full of flowers, and the smiles on their faces are a little bit more.

The front yard of Jane's house is still different from other houses, not only because of the bamboo fence covered with wild roses.It's because Jian Ping's house has a large green lawn in the front yard. Except for the path in the middle, which is paved with bluestone slabs, the other places are green lawns.

For farmers, it is really incomprehensible why weeds should be planted at the door of the house.Although it looks very good-looking, this point has not been imitated by others.

After all, in the eyes of farmers, if weeds grow to the front of the house, it is a manifestation of the extreme laziness of that family.

Jian Ping is different from ordinary people in the village. What he can raise, other people may not be able to raise.

As for the inner courtyard, where the gates are closed and outsiders are generally not allowed to see, the situation is not as lively as usual.The grape trellis built in the front yard has grown lush and a bit scary.The green grape seeds on the vines have already grown bunch after bunch. Just looking at the current posture, it is not difficult to see how good the harvest will be in a few months.

The land in the middle of the yard is now all planted with things.However, the courtyard is divided into four parts, three of which are planted with various flowers, and the one near the right side of the main house does not have flowers, but a piece of medicinal herbs.

To be exact, a piece of ginseng.

"Brother Jian Ping, brother Jian Ping, brother Jian Ping!" Under the eaves outside the main house, Jian Ping was lying on a slightly wider recliner, shaking slightly.

And Tian Wen was rare, blushing but still unswervingly sitting on Jian Ping's body in broad daylight.

The chair was shaking slightly, and the door was only ajar, coupled with the clear daylight, the tension in Tian Wen's heart rose infinitely.

Jian Ping closed his eyes, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.He didn't speak, and let Tian Wen on his body move.

Tian Wen waited for a long time but still didn't get Jian Ping's reaction. He glanced in the direction of the gate like a thief, and then his face became more and more red.

After waiting for a while, but still not waiting for Jian Ping's movement, Tian Wen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and threw it directly at Jian Ping's face.

"Hey, hey, look carefully baby, or your husband's nose will be gone." When Tian Wen slammed it down, Jian Ping laughed and opened his eyes, and quickly smashed Tian Wen down catch in the head.

I have never seen a family member who is so fierce.This is probably not temptation, but murder.

"Hahahaha, baby, you are so cute!" Jian Ping sat up, picked up the person and changed his position to sit sideways on his lap.

"General, general, in short, do you agree or not!" Tian Wen's face flushed, but even now he was shy from time to time in front of Jian Ping, but his courage finally came up a little.

As Tian Wen said, he limply leaned against Jian Ping's arms, wrapped his hands around Jian Ping's waist, and looked up to pretend to be pitiful.

A pair of big eyes blinked, almost writing the word "cute" on his face.

Jian Ping hugged Tian Wen tightly again, and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, okay, as long as my baby wants to learn, I will teach it!"

"Ah!" Tian Wen exclaimed, and hugged Jian Ping's neck directly.But Jian Ping stood up holding the person directly, and walked to the medicine field.

"Actually, planting flowers is a bit different from planting medicinal materials. Judging from my current skills, I should only be able to plant flowers."

Jian Ping looked at the ginseng field and sighed softly.It seems that he is still too confident in himself, thinking that with his spiritual spring in hand, century-old ginseng should be at his fingertips.

I didn't expect that such a thing as ginseng, even if it can absorb spiritual liquid super strong, can only absorb two drops at most in a day.And two drops also indicates that one day can only increase the efficacy of the medicine for two years.

It is bought for ten years, and if you want to get a century-old one, it will take at least 45 days.

Before Jian Ping really thought that he still had enough time, but unexpectedly, Jian Meiren's physical condition was worse than he imagined.

I thought it would be done before winter, but I didn't expect that Jian Meiren would not even be able to survive the summer.

Jian Ping took one last look at the ginseng field and ignored those things.Anyway, he just tried his best. If Jian Meiren was really unlucky in the end, it could only be regarded as Jian Meiren's bad luck.

Clicking his tongue for his cold blood, Jian Ping walked to the other side of the flower field without stopping.

"If you want to learn, study hard, and we will leave our garden to you in the future."

"Flower garden?"

Jian Ping put the man down and squatted with him on the edge of the flower field.The flowers at home are not expensive flowers, but some easy-to-survive varieties that are easy to practice.

Moreover, the flowers in Jian Ping's house are very mixed, as if a large bag of flower seeds of various colors was thrown into the ground and then grew.

It's only a month and a half, which is obviously much faster than other people's growth in a month and a half.Apart from swift and violent, there are no other adjectives that can be used for this growth.

Huge clusters of hydrangea are crowded together, and the chrysanthemums of various colors are about to squeeze out that piece of a colorful wall.

Large areas of Phalaenopsis and sunflowers even covered the entire ground because it was too late to build a shelf.The scene that should have been messy, but it just adds a bit of beauty because the flowers are too bright and gorgeous.

To be honest, Jian Ping really doesn't like flowers very much. If he had a choice, Jian Ping would rather plant a large fruit forest, at least there are fruits to eat all year round.After all, as a big man, he would never have learned how to grow flowers if it wasn't for his life.

But whether it is modern or ancient, spending this kind of thing is faster than food when it is planted.So now that Tian Wen likes it, Jian Ping is naturally [-]% willing to hand over these things to Tian Wen.

But, it's okay to charge some interest or something.

Jian Ping picked Tian Wen's chin with his index finger, turned the other's head around, and kissed him.Biting the opponent's lip lightly, and when Tian Wen opened his mouth with a blushing face, he licked the opponent's mouth lightly with the tip of his tongue.
