The fish that Fang Tianlin and the others came online were all wild fish, not only with extremely tenacious vitality, but also with great strength. After leaving the water, they fluttered for a long time before gradually losing their strength. Even so, they were still alive and strong, with their tails slapping the ground from time to time. .

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe didn't intervene, they just went out to play with their sons today, they looked at the three little guys with their hands behind their backs and muttered, guessing how they would deal with these fresh fish.

"Third Brother, why don't you let me hold the fish?" Seeing that the fish had no strength left to struggle in the net, Shen Zhang showed a disappointed expression on his face.

Shen Huang glanced at Shen Zhang's wet chest with distaste, for there was such a second brother who didn't care about his image, he had the urge to help his forehead.

Shen Zhang is not a dull person, he just acts on instinct most of the time. Seeing the small eyes of the third brother handing over him with obvious disapproval, he followed his gaze and lowered his head to look at his chest, curling his mouth to On the one hand, I thought indifferently, it's good, it's very cool.Of course, he just thought about it this way, and he didn't dare to say that, otherwise, in the next few days, he would definitely be educated by his third brother's love, and he would keep staring at him with tender eyes until his scalp became numb. Obediently follow him to learn the knowledge that makes him extremely headache.

As for the eldest brother, don't count on it, he doesn't care about such trivial matters, if he doesn't watch his jokes from the sidelines, it is considered that he has a conscience, and it is impossible to expect him to help him.Hey, what about brotherly love?Shen Zhang suddenly felt aggrieved, tried his best to lower his body, covered his clothes, and looked at Shen Huang pitifully.

"Second brother, you can do the rest." Shen Huang stepped aside after studying the fish and shrimp.Seeing Shen Zhang happily busy moving all the fish and shrimp into the barrel, there was a smile on the corners of Shen Huang's eyes and brows.

He is not such an inflexible person, since the second brother has already got his clothes dirty, why not just let him have a good time.In fact, what he didn't say is that if he really wanted to stop it, he would have spoken out as early as the first time, so why would he talk about it later?It's just that for some reason, Shen Huang did just that. It's fun to see the second brother's deflated look!

It seems that Fang Tianlin is not the only one who has evil tastes in the Shen family, and the younger ones are almost brought down by him.

After the fishing nets were all cleaned up, the guard who went to cut the tree just came back.

Fang Tianlin and the others moved forward for a while. This time, there was no need for people to pull the fishing net, throw the fishing net into the lake, and then tie the rope to the stake. They had nothing to do, just wait.

Since the net has been caught before, even if the place is changed, the distance between the two places is very close, so it is somewhat affected. After all, fish and shrimp are not that stupid, are they?The harvest of the second net is obviously less than that of the first net, even so, everyone is still filled with emotion.If this kind of lake with rich products is placed outside, it will definitely become the object of competition for many people.It's good now, it's cheaper for them, this is really unpredictable.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Fang Tianlin saw the vast mountains around him through the window, and suddenly understood why the officials of the Linshan County Government were so enthusiastic about him.Only people with other plans like him will start such a place.What he was more curious about was how the county government had records of Huangu.As far as he knows, the mountains in the Jing Dynasty generally only include the surrounding hilltops, or rocky mountains and mines. In addition, in the deep mountains and old forests, anyone can use them if they want, and no official will be idle and do nothing to catch them. People insist that they buy land.

Fang Tianlin couldn't figure out what was inside, but he was not at a loss.Huang Gu passed Minglu in the yamen, so he can use it as he likes, at least in the initial stage, he will feel very at ease, he doesn't have to worry about someone coming to be his neighbor someday.

Fang Tianlin can attack the gangster Xiaoxiao without hesitation, but he is not so cruel to those who have no grievances or enmities with him.He is not an executioner. Everything he learned in his previous life is only effective for murderers. It is impossible for him to extend his evil hands to law-abiding people.Except, of course, war.When it really comes to that time, there will only be the difference between the enemy and the enemy. If the heart is too soft, the end can be imagined.

The area of ​​the barren valley is not small, but Fang Tianlin bought it for only a thousand taels of silver, and also included several nearby hills.Obviously, this piece of land is not bought and sold according to farmland, but has been designated as a mountain forest, which is cheaper than mountain land. Not to mention that there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years, even after this period, the taxes paid are basically negligible.

Fang Tianlin took a fancy to this place, in addition to the suitable location, there are also reasons for this.

At noon, the Shen family had a delicious meal, and the others followed suit, eating as much as they could, especially the fish soup, which was enough.For the rest, put a light layer of salt on them and put them away for later use at night.

During these days, everyone was busy building houses, and there was no manpower to reclaim the wasteland. Now that the house is coming to an end, the construction of farmland is on the agenda.

"Tianlin, haven't you finished yet?" Shen Jiahe put down the bowl, turned on the wick, and the oil lamp instantly lit up a bit.

"It's still close." Fang Tianlin rubbed his eyebrows, and continued with his head buried.He has to plan well for Huanggu, and strive to achieve it in one step. He can't be like in his previous life, where the city construction was tossed and turned, and the roads that were just repaired had to be dug in a few days. The reason was that the underground pipelines needed to be laid again.This is simply a waste of taxpayers' hard-earned money, and he should try his best to avoid such things.

Shen Jiahe didn't say much, picked up the book on the side, and read it carefully.He is not able to help too much now, and it will always come in handy when he learns more things.

Time passed by, Fang Tianlin made the last stroke, turned his neck, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt that he was alive again.Urban planning is too mind-consuming, it is simply not a human job, if it is not supported by the inheritance of the Qianyuan clan, Fang Tianlin would not have the ability to toss about it by himself.

Even so, it took Fang Tianlin a long time to learn and then refer to the existing town construction drawings of the Qianyuan clan to come up with such a blueprint.

Shen Jiahe put down the book, took the plan and started to study it carefully, while looking at it, he said: "The soup is almost stale, drink it quickly."

"Did you eat?"

"Well, I'm not very hungry, I drank a small bowl."

The two are husband and wife, and they are so familiar with each other, so naturally there is no need to be polite to each other.Fang Tianlin understood this, so he didn't force Shen Jiahe to use more.

Looking at the golden-yellow chicken nuggets in the bowl, and smelling the tangy aroma, Fang Tianlin's heart warmed, and he sat down to enjoy it.

When they came, they only brought horses, chickens, sheep and pigs, except for Zhao Cai Jin Bao and Pigeon No. [-], [-], and [-].The bowl of chicken soup that Fang Tianlin is drinking now is obviously stewed with pheasant. The taste is slightly worse than that of domestic chicken, but in Fang Tianlin's heart, it is more delicious than anything else.The supper specially cooked for him by my daughter-in-law is full of affection, how can anything else compare to it?

Seeing Fang Tianlin put down his chopsticks, Shen Jiahe pointed to the blueprint and said solemnly: "Tianlin, according to the above design and construction, isn't this project a little too big?"

"It doesn't need to be completed now, it can be done in batches. The houses have been built almost, and the next step is to reclaim enough grain fields to feed hundreds of people. At the same time, seal the entrance of the valley and erect gates. Save trouble on the bottom of the valley. Just block the fence gate."

"So..." Shen Jiahe pondered for a moment, then continued, "We don't bring many plows, and we don't even have any cows. Land reclamation is a bit troublesome."

Fang Tianlin's eyes drooped slightly, his knuckles lightly tapped on the table, and he said after a long while, "I can't do anything about the plow. Let's just make do with it for the time being. I'll buy it when I find iron ore or go out of the mountain next time. If you want a cow, use a horse instead." , We bought so many horses, we don’t need to waste that much.”

The corner of Shen Jiahe's mouth twitched slightly, horses are so precious, don't you think they are a bit overqualified for pulling plows?Even though he thought so, he didn't say anything against it.The fact is that, is it possible to leave the ready-made horses unused and ask someone to pull the plow?He asked himself that he couldn't be so picky, let alone treat people like animals.

That's right, it's only been two or three years since the Shen family got up, and none of Shen Jiahe and the others have formed this kind of thinking.

Of course Fang Tianlin was happy to see the success.

Seeing that it was already late, Shen Jiahe didn't say any more, he took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and the two of them went to bed one after another after washing.Before falling asleep, Shen Jiahe suggested in a low voice: "The oil lamp is not bright enough, let's use the wall lamp in the future. We are all our own people here, no one will say anything, we should be careful when we use it most."

"Okay." Fang Tianlin opened his eyes suddenly, and then slowly closed them again.Isn't this the purpose for him to go to the deep mountains and old forests without letting go of his good life?If you still have to tie your hands and feet here, it's better to stay in Yunzhou City and live a lifetime in peace and stability.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Jiahe took people to measure the land, first drew out the location of the ditches, and then circled [-] mu of land according to uniform specifications, with one mu of land as the benchmark, part of which was used as a vegetable field.

After completing these preliminary tasks and assigning the tasks of each team, Shen Jiahe does not need to come forward for the remaining tasks, and the stewards below will keep an eye on them.

When he got home, his wife and children were not there, and when he found out that Fang Tianlin had gone to Taniguchi, and Wei Xiaodong led his sons to play in the village, Shen Jiahe calmed down and focused all his attention on the books in hand.

After listening to his daughter-in-law's general plan these days, Shen Jiahe began to compete with economics and management knowledge.If this place is really as Tianlin imagined, then he should learn more, so that he can help his wife share some of the burden, otherwise the burden will be all on the daughter-in-law alone, which will be too tiring.

Fang Tianlin rode a horse and wandered at the valley entrance, looking at the towering peaks on both sides, his eyes were flickering, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked forward for a while, and found out all the nearby plants and trees clearly, and then returned Home.

Originally, Fang Tianlin planned to start the checkpoint project at Taniguchi immediately, but after field inspection, he overturned the original plan.It must be built with stone blocks, which requires a lot of manpower. Now that the village and the fields are under construction, there is no time to spare to do this. Instead of making do with wooden fences, it is better to wait.

After fastening the horse, Fang Tianlin went upstairs, the room was quiet, he pushed away the study, and at a glance he saw Shen Jiahe was hard at work.Fang Tianlin closed the door gently, walked lightly without disturbing him, went straight to another desk, spread out a blank sheet of paper and started to get busy.

Shen Jiahe put down his book and rubbed his swollen head. Learning these things was more tiring than letting him go to the ground. It took less than an hour, so he couldn't read much, so he could only rest for a while before continuing.Just as he was about to stand up and walk around, he turned his head and saw Fang Tianlin sitting next door, and couldn't help being surprised, was he really so engrossed in reading?He didn't even notice Tianlin entered the room.

Fang Tianlin was equally focused, but he hadn't reached the point where Shen Jiahe had no other distractions. When Shen Jiahe moved, he raised his head from the drawing.

"Why are you so focused?" Fang Tianlin put down his pen, leaned on the back of the chair comfortably, and asked casually.

"The piles of numbers you gave me in accounting gave me a headache." Shen Jiahe shook his still aching head and said with lingering fear.

"Where did you see it?" Fang Tianlin looked curious.

"I've only read half of the book." Shen Jiahe picked up the account book he had made on the table, folded it on top of the account book he redid using the recently learned bookkeeping method, and pushed the two bookkeeping books together in front of Fang Tianlin, "The new bookkeeping method It's more convenient, but I always make mistakes, and keep the accounts according to the original method if I don't pay attention, I checked it again, and you can help me see if there is any problem."

Fang Tianlin picked up the above book casually, and saw that it was an old-fashioned bookkeeping method.Five or six years later, he has gotten used to this method, but he still feels awkward. Looking at such an account book is like Shen Jiahe looking at piles of accounting examples recorded in Arabic numerals. There is a natural gap.

Fang Tianlin was not interested in the old-style ledger, so he spread it out in front of him, and then picked up the new-style ledger, comparing the hatchbacks one by one. There was no problem, after all, it was just redoing the original ledger. Shen Jiahe had read the ledger for several years anyway, no As for not being able to remember the accounts clearly, but as Shen Jiahe himself said, many places have been altered, obviously the past habits have not been corrected for a while.

Shen Jiahe has only been able to read and write for a few years, and the power of habit is so strong. Those old accountants who have kept accounts for most of their lives, it is estimated that it will be more troublesome to change.

"You did a good job." Fang Tianlin never hesitates to praise others, not to mention that this person is his wife, "You don't need to care about the places that have been altered, and you can naturally avoid them after a long time."

Shen Jiahe went around to Fang Tianlin's desk, picked up a rough design drawing, and asked with some uncertainty: "Tianlin, is this the academy you mentioned?"

"Ah."

"Except for Bi'er and the others, there are no children in Huanggu. It's useless to build an academy without students. You don't know how to do such a thing. Do you all go outside to look for it?" Shen Jiahe's eyes were full of doubts.

"There is no other way, but this is the only way. Some of them are incidental when recruiting men and women in their prime, and some are specially selected from orphans." Fang Tianlin sighed. What he lacks most now is manpower.Now that the construction in the valley has not been completed, he can only bear with it for a while. After the infrastructure is completed, he will leave for Linshan County to make up for the manpower and missing materials at once.

"Tianlin, we are running out of money." Shen Jiahe's eyes were filled with worry.Before buying horses, land, and supplies one after another, I have already spent a lot of money in my hand. I can only go out but not in. No matter how much money I have, there will always be a day of squandering.

"Isn't there still nearly 3000 taels?" Fang Tianlin calculated, which is almost enough for his current actions.

"If you want to recruit people, the number will obviously not be small. I calculated that there must be at least about 500 people to take care of the barren fields. This is just pure labor. If women, children and the elderly are included, the number is probably There will be more, plus other personnel, there are no more than six or seven hundred, and Huanggu may not be able to operate normally." The more he counted, the more uncertain Shen Jiahe felt.He knew very well that his daughter-in-law would open many workshops, and 3000 taels of silver might not even be able to afford a splash.

"Jiahe, if we don't have any money, we just make more money. With such a large field, none of us will go hungry. Even if the years are bad and the fields suffer disasters, aren't there still mountains and forests? There are few people here, and there are many wild animals and medicinal materials in the mountains. Let's order casually, so we won't be short of food and clothing." Fang Tianlin slowed down his tone, his voice was deep and convincing, trying to suppress the worry in his wife's heart.

"We have no power or power here. No matter how good the goods are, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell at a high price." Shen Jiahe relaxed slightly, but it only relieved part of his anxiety.He knows the way of it all too well. When he was in Guangyan Village, every year when the grain harvest season came, it was a time when everyone was happy and sad at the same time.

What Gu Jian hurts farmers is talking about the situation they are about to encounter.Although there are factors that caused the price to drop naturally due to the impact of a large amount of grain on the market, the bigger reason is that the grain market is controlled by grain merchants.This is a seller's market. Farmers can only sell at whatever price the grain is negotiated for. If they want to raise the price, they will not accept it.Except for a few farmers who have channels and can produce large amounts of grain, others can only suffer from this dull loss.

This is true for selling grain, and the same is true for selling other goods, unless it is just a small business, setting up stalls in the market all day long.It is obviously impossible for the Shen family to do this, it would be a waste of time, not to mention that it is not easy for them to go out of the mountain once, and they must bring a lot of goods, so it is inevitable that people will suppress the price.

"I'm here!" It's useless to say more at this time, Fang Tianlin's three short words seemed to have a tremendous force, shaking Shen Jiahe's worries away.

Yes, as long as Tianlin is around, none of this seems to be a problem.Shen Jiahe's eyes shone brightly, and the items made by many daughter-in-laws that only gods could use kept flashing in his mind, his heart beat slowly and powerfully as if he had taken a reassurance.

After calming him down, Fang Tianlin buried himself in the paperwork again.

He plans to build two schools, one is mainly arts and sciences, and the other is a military academy to train all kinds of military talents.Of course, the latter is just a precautionary measure, it’s best not to use it, but if it’s used, then...

The military academy needs to go out for exercises, and it is too noisy, so it is not placed in the village, and another place is found to be settled independently.

After the village construction came to an end, Fang Tianlin took out two more blueprints.

Neither the mason nor the carpenter could understand what it was for, and they didn't ask, and they just did what the master told them to do, so there was no room for them to comment.Anyway, the host's family is benevolent, and they will not be short of food and drink. They just work hard, but when they are free, they can't help worrying about the future.

There is nothing here, food can be self-sufficient, but what about clothing?Farm tools are broken and there is no place to repair them, and the bedding and clothes are torn and rotten. They can't be replaced by furs, right?This is a bit too extravagant, and the owner can afford it. They are afraid that they won't be able to do it. At that time, they shouldn't be like beggars. Only rags and tattered clothes cover their bodies, and then there will be no hope for this day.I hope that the life of the master's family will be better and better, so that they may also have a good life.

The Academy is larger than any house, and the largest one is not even a star and a half. There are more than a dozen houses in the house alone, almost comparable to half of the single rooms in a row. Including the playground, the area occupied is really amazing. Such is the case in the wild valley.

This project is obviously not small. Fortunately, the bamboo and wood are all ready-made, and the craftsmen are also extremely skilled.

When the academy was completed, the mountains were already covered with fallen leaves, heralding the coming of late autumn.

"Daddy, Father, can we really not go?"

"You are still young, and the mountain road is too tiring, so you should stay at home." Shen Jiahe was also a little bit reluctant, and turned his head to carefully instruct the captain of the guard who stayed behind in Huanggu.

When the triplets heard this, they immediately drooped their heads, pursed their mouths, looked like weeping, and looked at their parents very reluctantly, hoping that they would change their minds.

Seeing the appearance of his sons, Fang Tianlin said with a smile: "You are already young men, you don't want to be like this, remember to help father and father look after the house!"

After a few "swish swish", the triplets immediately raised their heads and puffed up their chests, and repeatedly assured Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe that this place will be handed over to them, and they will definitely take care of their home.

"Wangwang!"

Zhaocai Jinbao wandered around Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe, and at the end he didn't forget to call a few times to remind them of their existence.

"Okay, okay, I will never forget your contributions." Fang Tianlin patted Zhaocaijinbao's big head helplessly.These two hounds are almost mature, even if he doesn't understand Wang Xingyu, he can still understand the simple meaning they express.

"Take care of Bi'er and the others." For a long time, he couldn't see his sons, and before he left, Shen Jiahe felt nostalgic in his heart.He lowered his head and repeatedly told Zhaocai Jinbao to protect them, then got on his horse and drove alongside Fang Tianlin, leading the guards and the recently harvested mountain goods towards the outside of the mountain.

The triplets waited at the valley entrance until Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe disappeared at the end of the canyon, then climbed into the carriage and went home listlessly.

"Wangwang!"

"Okay, stop barking."

"Wangwang!" Seeing that the three little guys were still sluggish, Zhaocai Jinbao ran around the carriage relentlessly, even at the expense of self-destructive image, just to make the triplets happy.

With the addition of Lucky Fortune and Treasure, the triplets were in a better mood. They were greeted to get on the wheel, and with a sullen face, they began to think about how they would spend the past few days.My father said that they are little men, they must do something, and they must not let my father down.
