Many things in Taoyuanzhai are not unfamiliar to Shui Xian, such as the track, such as cement, such as the bright red sea pepper rolling up and down in the big copper pot on the food street.

But when all these things come together to form a city, what brings to Shui Xian is an absolutely fresh feeling and excitement.He looked left and right, holding Jia Fang to question him from time to time.

Jia Fang looked on coldly and felt that Shui Xian was different from the past. Shui Xian walking in this Taoyuan village was by no means the king of Beijing who was always calm and calm.He even felt that this guy sometimes jumped up and down like "Shui three years old", and all the calmness in Beijing disappeared at this time.

Jia Fang followed Shui Xian, shaking his head helplessly, thinking that since the eldest prince is not here, the old man Xia Shengshen is already packing his things and preparing to return to Beijing, so he won't come to Taoyuan Village in his spare time.Since Shui Xian wants to release himself, let him be released.

It happened to be a market today.The central square in the center of Taoyuan Village was very lively, all the stalls were booked out immediately, and some vendors from afar who could not get a booth were licensed to place their stalls on both sides of the main road in the middle of Taoyuan Village.

Together with Jia Fang, Shui Xian "shopping" in Taoyuan Village.

Soon Shuixian took a fancy to a bunch of watery tomatoes, which should be tomatoes just picked from the branches. After all, looking at the red ones will give you an appetite.Shui Xian asked for two big ones.

Jia Fang: The development of off-season vegetables in the stockade is not small!

These tomatoes are sold for two cents each.Shui Xian touched his purse, and immediately showed embarrassment.He took out a piece of broken silver in twos and threes from his purse, and wanted to hand it all over to the stall owner, but the stall owner refused.

"Young master, is this your first visit to our Taoyuan?" The stall owner naturally had a good impression of Shui Xian when he saw that Shui Xian was born well, and he smiled without getting angry, and explained to him slowly, "We don't use taels here. You give I can’t even find it. Here, there’s a room over there with the words ‘Financial Office’ written on the door, where you can exchange money and negotiable notes.”

Before the stall owner had finished giving instructions, Jia Fang took out a circulation coupon from his sleeve and handed it over.

The stall owner was shocked immediately: "This young master is a friend of Mr. Jia?... No wonder he is so outstanding!"

Jia Fang and Shui Xian looked at each other, Shui Xian grinned, but Jia Fang pursed his lips a little aggrieved: Do I only find good-looking people as friends?No!

"How can I ask for this money?" The stall owner refused to take the money, but instead offered Shui Xian a whole bunch of bright and juicy tomatoes.

Jia Fang had no choice but to say: "Ma'am, the rules are here, and there are so many staff members under me who are watching, please give me face."

Jia Fang set the rules for the entire Taoyuan Village, and the staff were not allowed to accept gifts from the villagers at will, even himself was no exception.He is the role model for the entire Taoyuan village, so he dare not be casual.

The stall owner had no choice but to accept the circulation coupon, found another one for Jia Fang, washed the tomatoes in the copper basin at hand, wiped them dry with a dry cloth, and handed them over to Jia Fang and Shui Xian.

Shui Xian was not polite, he took a bite, his mouth was full of sweet and sour juice, he immediately praised: "It's so sweet!" In a blink of an eye, the tomato juice was in Shui Xian's hands, on the brocade robe on his chest.

Jia Fang hurriedly handed the veil to Shui Xian, and saw that he was holding the tomato with both hands dripping with juice, so he had no choice but to wipe his chest with the veil himself, and then stuffed the veil into the water. In Xian's hands.

After wiping, Jia Fang looked at Shui Xian, suddenly couldn't help it, and laughed a little, and then couldn't help it anymore, and laughed loudly, laughing until he was full of belly.

There seemed to be only the two of them in the world, Shui Xian was holding a big tomato, blushing, watching Jia Fang helplessly and laughing at himself.

What a real person this is!Jia Fang couldn't help thinking.

He watched Shui Xian, and he was completely released after changing the environment. The person in front of him was as happy and innocent as a young man who didn't know much about the world.

"You also think this place is good?" Jia Fang couldn't help asking.

Shui Xian nodded silently.

"I like this place too." Jia Fang couldn't help but turned his head and looked at his city, "I still have some difficulties, and I don't know how to build it to perfection. But I believe I can think of a solution soon of."

"It's a pity, once I complete it, I should leave." Jia Fang turned his back to Shui Xian, couldn't hold back, and still sighed.

Hearing a "click", Jia Fang turned his head and saw that the tomato bitten by Shui Xian was lying on the ground with its stem upturned.

A hand as white as jade stretched out, and picked up the tomato again with Jia Fang's handkerchief on it.The familiar voice sighed softly beside Jia Fang, "It's a pity".

Jia Fang turned his head again and looked carefully at the people around him, but for a moment he felt that he couldn't see clearly.It turned out that the man who had peeled off a hard outer shell to reveal the inner man seemed to be covered back in a hard protective shell.It seems that when Jia Fang stretched out his hand to knock, he could hear the clanging sound.

But Shui Xian's temperament is still pure, his manner is still elegant, and even his slightly raised lips are as impeccable as usual.

People call the outer shell of him "warm and moist as jade".

Jia Fang was at a loss for a moment, thinking how could someone become so fast, and instantly put on a protective shield—what he said was indeed ambiguous, but most people would think that what Jia Fang said was to complete the construction of Taoyuan Village After that, he will leave Taoyuan Village and return to the capital.

But what Jia Fang really meant was to leave this time and space, this world.

He is, after all, a sudden soul.

Only Shui Xian, who understood his own Shui Xian better than him, instantly understood Jia Fang's meaning.

It was only because of the flying down of the tomato that there was a "pity" after hiding all the sincerity.

Jia felt guilty, but thinking about it, this should happen sooner or later—he does not belong to this world, and sooner or later he will leave and return to his own era.

It may be a wiser way to speak clearly as soon as possible, so that Shui Xian can regain that perfect protective shell and continue to live perfectly in this world.

So he turned his head away, nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's a pity. What a persimmon."

When he said this, he suddenly felt sore in his heart, the kind that even his teeth were sore, but he gritted his teeth and pushed forward. When he looked back, everything was as usual. He was also a person with a "protective shell" Jia Fang.

"En!" The man beside him seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and he also warmly agreed, as if the two of them had been discussing for a long time to discuss such a tomato.

"By the way, Zi Fang, you just said that there are still some difficulties at the moment, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help and give you some advice." Shui Xian looked at Jia Fang and smiled confidently, as if saying: On your territory, in my opinion, it's a trivial matter.

Jia Fang heaved a sigh of relief, finally the other party didn't turn to call him "Jiedushi" or "Master" or something. If it really got into such a trouble, he might collapse on the spot.

Now Shui Xian thoughtfully gave him the steps.

He immediately turned his attention to the problem itself, coughed lightly, and said, "The problem I'm dealing with now... To put it bluntly, it's about the customs industry."

Shui Xian still smiled warmly, and asked back: "The brothel?"

Jia Fang let out an "ah" and nodded: "To be precise, Liuying, or collectively Liuying—"

If they are all collective, they can no longer be called Liuying, right?So he finally nodded: "Yes, brothel!"

Jia Fang suddenly became alert, quickly looked at Shui Xian, and said, "Are you also..."

He is a very stinky person with high moral requirements, and he also had conflicts with Shui Xian, and he apologized on the spot for this.But if Shui Xian is doing business and has a hand in the brothel business, then he...

Shui Xian shook his head indifferently, as if Jia Fang didn't care if he misunderstood or not.

"I don't do it myself, but since this industry exists, I must know something about it. The custom industry you mentioned...does it have something to do with the Pingnan Daying farm that you wrote to before?"

Years ago, Jia Fang and the eldest prince jointly wrote a letter, explaining their pilot farm farming in Wuyuan County.The Prince Jian Guo approved it readily at that time, saying that since Wuyuan County does not need state relief, and the [-] soldiers in the Pingnan Daying camp directly raise food and wages locally, then he is also happy to see the success.

Speaking of it, Prince Jian Guo is indeed a good man, but he can directly criticize anyone who is reasonable.When Jia Fang met him for the first time, he had some criticisms, but after several encounters, the prince took good care of Jia's family.

But Shui Xian is so clever, Jia Fang only mentioned the custom industry, and he thought of farming.

"There are a total of 5000 people in the field, 500 officers and soldiers, and [-] bandits who are being reformed. They are divided into [-] people and live in two natural villages..." Jia Fang introduced the whole situation of the field to Shuixian.

Shui Xian listened attentively, and there was no trace of the emotional change on his face.

After Jia Fang finished speaking, Shui Xian suddenly asked: "Why do you only consider the two thousand soldiers, and the remaining three thousand bandits don't want to go to the Liu Ying in Wuyuan County at all?"

Jia Fang replied honestly: "Because the learning tasks of the [-] reformed subjects are very heavy, every day besides working is studying... Besides, they can't go out of the village?"

But Shui Xian said: "You can't say that. If these people want to have fun, they can sneak out-it's not difficult for them. But as you said just now, they are busy studying..."

When Shui Xian said this, his voice paused, and he seemed to be puzzled and asked: "What are you studying?"

Jia Fang had no choice but to explain all his plans for the bandits' study and transformation, including exams, point incentives, ideological and moral education textbooks, and so on.

Shui Xian nodded slightly while listening, as if he expected Jia Fang to come up with such an idea.

"However, the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Camp, because they were not restricted by the number of years of hard labor, were generally not as motivated as those who were rehabilitated. Many of them had the idea of ​​being drunk today, or just dawdling. Now they are not training soldiers in the big camp, but farming, and they cannot be directly restrained by military discipline, and in addition to comparing with each other, from time to time, some people will sneak out to find Liuying for fun."

"So you're saying, bandits... because the subjects of reform have other interests, they don't have time to care about Liuying, but these officers and soldiers have nothing to do..."

Jia Fang seemed to understand something, he quickly reached out his hand to Shui Xian and said, "I have some ideas."

But Shui Xian stretched out his hand and stopped Jia Fang from saluting: "Don't worry. As for Liuying, you can't completely ban it if you want to ban it. The so-called 'wild fire is endless, spring breeze blows and regenerates' is used in This is fine; if the method is too ruthless, some people will say that you are competing with the small people for profit, and you have no reason to make life difficult for these weak women."

"But if you are afraid that there will be more and more stray warblers around here, and even exacerbate crimes such as filming, you should consider making these stray warblers no money to make. In other words, let them pay more than originally expected. High cost."

"In this way, at least you can stop Liu Ying from continuing to flow to your vicinity in time, and you can also stop Liu Ying from adopting little girls."

Jia Fang understood what Shui Xian said, and he was suddenly full of admiration for Shui Xian.This is the active learning and application of business principles. Why didn't he think of these before?

"Besides, is the settlement you envisioned going on for a short period of time, or for a long time?"

Jia Fang replied: "Naturally it is long-term."

These two thousand soldiers stayed between the twin cities of Taoyuan Wuyuan just to deter bandits.After the newly reclaimed fields are harvested in the future, they can feed these 5000 people for a long time, and even support their families.

Thinking of the word "family", Jia Fang seemed to understand again: "Could it be that you are talking about..."

With a smile on the corner of Shui Xian's mouth, he nodded slightly, knowing that Jia Fang understood.It's just that his demeanor is always a little alienated, as if he is sitting far away, watching Jia Fang figure everything out by himself.

Jia Fang's mind was spinning quickly: What Shui Xian proposed was actually the empty check he had made to the [-] officers and soldiers stationed in Shengli New Village.

He promised to let these people start a family and start a business and marry a wife.According to the moral standards of this time and space, people with families and families have extremely low needs for wandering warblers.

The most urgent task at present is to build a family village near Shengli New Village first, so that the officers and soldiers can also see a little hope.In this way, the bad check he made earlier will no longer be a bad check, but a carrot hanging in front of the donkey—the officers and soldiers are not motivated, lazy to study and make progress?No problem, when they see their family members' new village being built, this carrot is like hanging on their lips.

Two thousand officers and soldiers, if you want to find a wife for them, you have to find a monkey year.But this can also be a kind of motivation, urging them to study and learn skills, and urging them to earn points.

If it cooperates with the management of Liu Ying at this time, I believe that soon, the women who move to the local area will never be willing to engage in the flesh and blood business, but will take root in Shengli New Village and find a suitable home.

"I understand everything!" Jia Fang was overjoyed, and finally saluted Shui Xian seriously, thanking him for his guidance.

Shui Xian only mentioned three main points, and Jia Fang summarized what he said as follows: [-]. Provide popular cultural and entertainment activities to divert attention and enrich life; Directly ban it, causing adverse effects; third, guide the military officers in the field to start a family and start a business step by step, and become a long-term force in the field.

Shui Xian lifted the corner of his mouth as if mocking himself, and said with a smile: "Zi Fang doesn't have to be so polite. The so-called authorities are obsessed, but bystanders are clear. I'm just a bystander, so I don't deserve such a big gift from Zi Fang."

When he said that he was a "bystander", Jia Fang felt that his heart was suddenly poked hard, and Shui Xian continued: "I wish you an early consummation!"

The day of consummation was expected to be the time when the two parted.

"The sun is also slanting today, and it's getting late, so I have to trouble you to send me back." Shui Xian seemed to know the rules of retracting the ground whip clearly, knowing that only Jia Fang himself can't do it. open.After finishing speaking, Shui Xian immediately followed the path he came from to the Xianliang Temple where they came.

Jia Fang couldn't help but smile wryly.

He is simple and decisive, and others are also decisive, leaving no room for him to regret.

Jia Xin felt sad, but this was also his original intention and original intention.At this moment, I can only bite the bullet, catch up later, bring Shui Xian back to Xianliang Temple, and accompany him into this magical building.

No matter how much he wanted to hold the opponent's hand, he couldn't do it anymore, he could only lead him step by step.This time, Shui Xian kept his eyes open the whole time, and followed Jia Fang in an extremely calm manner, until he walked out of the ground whip and returned to the Grand View Garden.

"Then, goodbye." Shui Xian said to Jia Fang with a smile.His smile has no warmth, like a beautifully carved marble statue.

Jia Fang was really depressed.Isn't this exactly what he deliberately arranged and expected to appear?It's sad at the end of the day.

If you really want to talk about ruthlessness, the man opposite is even more ruthless.

Shui Xian took one last look at him, turned around and opened the courtyard door and left.The door was open, and the cold wind blew in. Jia Fang flinched for a moment, and then he remembered that he only had a thin robe on his body, and no outer robe.

At this time, Jia Fang remembered that he had hung up the outer robes of the two of them in the room earlier, so he hurried back to get Shui Xian's one, came out in a hurry, met Shuangwen head-on, and begged for help: "Shuangwen Sister, please help me pass this robe to the guest, and lead him out of the garden safely."

Shuangwen hurriedly picked up the robe, and did not forget to remind: "Third Master, you..."

Jia Fang smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'll be away for a while."

Shuangwen hurriedly replied, thinking to himself why his third master would have a day when laughing is uglier than crying?

But Jia Fang kept urging, Shuangwen had no choice but to go down, along the winding road in the garden, caught up with Shui Xian who was leaving alone, and said: "My lord, your outer robe was brought by the third master's servant. "

Shui Xian turned his head, and Shuang Wen immediately felt that there was a cold jade-like mask in front of him. The moment Shui Xian turned around, it broke with a bang, and the demeanor of the person in front of him became completely quiet and warm.

"Thank you, girl!" Shui Xian thanked softly, "Please girl, please go back and look at him, if he is still there, please tell him—"

Shui Xian thought for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said, "I'll tell him next time I see him! Thank you girl." He thanked him tenderly, and he knew the path, and walked to the gate of the Grand View Garden by himself.

Shuangwen also felt that something was wrong with Jia Fang, so instead of insisting on sending Shui Xian out, he hurried back to see Jia Fang.

But Jia Fang was still the same as before, standing in the courtyard of Daoxiang Village, looking up at the sky with a little confusion at the moment.

In his own time and space, there was such a poem, "We can see each other at a glance, and one step is like a heavy city. The mountains and seas that we love are separated by mountains and seas."①.

No matter what kind of "infrastructure maniac" he is, will his mountains and seas always be invincible?
