Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

The doctor Xing Xiuyan said was actually a doctor of Zheng Liupin Hydrology who worked in the Ministry of Industry.

Although there are also Fengshui masters in the folk, the level of good and bad varies, and they are not as reliable as the doctor of hydrology in the imperial court.After all, the doctor of hydrology is the imperial official of the sixth grade. If you want to invite such an official to come to help you read the hydrology on Zhuangzi, you must first prepare with Lin Ruhai.

Of course, Xing Xiuyan never thought that he must invite a doctor of hydrology. If a doctor of hydrology cannot be invited, a deputy hydrology assistant is also possible.

So Xing Xiuyan wrote to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's movements were also quick, and not long after, a middle-aged man riding a donkey like a farmer came to the village.

When this man came to Zhuangzi, no one noticed him.Because there are really too many people like this passing by here.Thin, lean, dark-skinned, with dungarees on his shoulders, tobacco pinned to his waist, and a bunt. Except for the shoes on his feet, which are not straw sandals but cloth shoes, there is nothing special about him.

Ordinary peasants are reluctant to wear cloth shoes, and those who know how to wear cloth shoes are at least rich peasants.

Gyeonggi is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is naturally rich. There are really a lot of rich peasants in this area.

Of course, although this kind of dress is common, outsiders are outsiders after all, and the reason why no one in Zhuangzi came forward to ask immediately is because:

"Have you heard? We girls are going to dig a good paddy field into a pond!"

Although the rice is still in the field, it does not prevent everyone from chatting.

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. I don't know what kind of magic our girl is possessed by! Mrs. Piansheng said that this is the girl's future dowry Zhuangzi, and everything is up to the girl!"

"My wife is too big-hearted!"

"That's it."

"I don't know why the girl is crazy!"

"I heard that they want to grow lotus vegetables to raise turtles, turtles, shrimps and crabs."

A well-informed old woman tapped on a hookah and said, "Young lady's calculation makes sense."

The surrounding women immediately chattered together: "Seventh Aunt, what are you talking about?!"

"That's it!"

The old woman said: "Isn't this the case for big families? They don't need to pay taxes, and they don't rely on Zhuangzi for food, drink and clothing. They need money more than expenses. Although the rice is good, it only comes with stable money, not with no money." A lot. If you talk about a lot of money, you can remember that there is a person in Lin County, whose field produces the best crabs, and a basket of them is seven or eighty taels of silver."

Hearing what the old woman said, everyone on the left and right exclaimed.

"It's that guy Xue Jijia, right? That's also the old emperor's calendar! Who doesn't know that last year, the family's crabs didn't sell at all, and no one bought them when they dropped to 45. Later, they simply bought one and got one free for a basket of [-] taels. And last year, too! This kind of heresy is unacceptable~!"

"That's it."

Several women echoed.

The old woman said firmly: "What do you know! It's just that in the past two years, the high-ranking households in Beijing have fallen one after another. That's all. Isn't it the same in our Zhuangzi? Now the chief minister's family bought this Zhuangzi, it can be seen that this capital is about to settle down."

The women immediately whispered to each other.

When Jiang Yanzhi heard about it, he couldn't help thinking a little more.

It seems that this Xing family seems to be a transparent family?

As a doctor of hydrology from the Ministry of Industry, I have seen a lot, heard a lot, thought a lot, and my understanding of water conservancy is different from others.In the Guo Dynasty, the growth of cultivated land has been emphasized since ancient times, and even used as a reference standard for officials' achievements.This has directly caused the phenomena of enclosing lakes and filling lakes to create fields in various places.

Jiang Yanzhi knows better than anyone else the dangers of enclosing lakes and filling lakes for land. However, as an official with a background as a landlord, he also knows the obsession of the people with land. Fill lakes to make fields.

When he first joined the Ministry of Industry, he also thought that such behavior was worthy of recognition, but after staying in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, he saw and listened and studied a lot, and he also understood:

This behavior is wrong.

But can he tell others?cannot!

It is harmful to directly tell others that enclosing lakes to reclaim land is an enemy of the whole world!This is to risk the disrespect of the world!

Like his predecessors in the Ministry of Industry, he can only choose to keep his mouth shut, or use Feng Shui to encourage those officials and eunuchs who have no worries about food and clothing to build more lakes and ponds on their own villages.

It's just that the effect is really sad.

If he hadn't heard the conversations of these women, Jiang Yanzhi might have to follow the routine.But after hearing these women's words, his heart couldn't help becoming active.

Maybe, he should meet this Lord Xingjun?

With such thoughts in mind, Jiang Yanzhi wandered around Zhuangzi.However, Xiaozhuangzi, which covers an area of ​​about a thousand acres, can take half a day to get an overview while riding a donkey, and provides three plans according to the situation on the Zhuangzi, each of which corresponds to a development direction.

Just when he was about to knock on the door of the five-entry green brick house, he saw a group of women coming from the other side.These women are of different ages, and they will attract his attention. It is entirely because two of them are wearing Mili, and Mili's veil is very long, reaching to the knees, and there are a group of girls and servants beside them. Holding a fan, covering half of his face.

If the wind hadn't lifted the veil to reveal the group below, he wouldn't have paid attention to these women.

There are two women wearing Mili, one is wearing a smoky beige with golden chrysanthemums all over it, and an orange horse-face skirt, and the other is wearing a fresh green beanie, and an emerald-colored Liuxian skirt.Look at the fabric, it's not something ordinary people can wear.

Obviously, these two are the masters of Zhuangzi, Mrs. Xing, the wife of the current Shandong chief envoy, and Xingjia Junjun.

When Jiang Yanzhi saw the other party, the other party also noticed him.Seeing that he did not evade, a second-class servant woman in her forties came over to negotiate.

After all, the Xing family was not an old-fashioned powerful family, and Jiang Yanzhi didn't dress up in official uniforms. Even if Jiang Yanzhi took out his documents as a sixth-rank official of the imperial court, this second-class servant would not recognize him.So after listening to Jiang Yanzhi's self-introduction, the second-class servant girl confessed first and retreated.

Then Nanny Cui came over under the service of a little girl.

Mammy Cui inspected Jiang Yanzhi's identity document, and then brought Jiang Yanzhi to Xing's wife and Xing Xiuyan.

After a brief introduction, Jiang Yanzhi cupped his hands at Xing's wife, Xing Xiuyan, mother and daughter, and said, "It's easy to look at the hydrology and determine the borehole. This Zhuangzi in the house happens to be where the water veins converge, so it's suitable for drilling." There are three wells in total. I just don’t know what Madam’s plan is for this Zhuangzi.”

Xing's wife said: "This Zhuangzi is under the management of the little girl. The adults tell the little girl that it is."

Jiang Yanzhi asked Xing Xiuyan.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Master Jiang, are these three wells all sweet water wells?"

"Yes, in three places."

"That's good. To tell you the truth, Mr. Jiang, I plan to plant clear water lotus roots in this village. In addition to lotus roots, beans, sesame, cotton, sweet potatoes, etc. will also be planted on the village, and some poultry and livestock will be raised. Please trouble me." Your Excellency, make a plan, if you can drill three wells, we will drill three wells. One is for our own use, one is planted with clear water lotus root, and the other is up to your discretion. If it is beneficial to the people, I don’t mind spending money Let the tenants have an extra sweet water well to drink."

Wells are divided into sweet water wells and bitter water wells. As the name of sweet water wells suggests, the water is sweet and rich in many trace elements, which are beneficial to the human body.Generally, bitter water wells can only be used for washing or farming. If you drink bitter water wells for a long time, it may be harmful to the human body.

Therefore, the prices of houses with sweet water wells in the capital and houses without sweet water wells are also very different.

Jiang Yanzhi said: "I heard the meaning of the county lord, do you not grow wheat and rice?"

"Yes. I don't have to pay taxes anyway, do I?"

It's not that Xing Xiuyan is unpopular, on the contrary, it's because she knows the life of common people too well that she made such a decision.

White rice and white noodles have never been frequent guests on the dinner table of farmers.Those who can eat one meal of white rice or white flour steamed buns every day are almost at the level of rich households or even small landlords among farmers.

What is the method of dipping oil stars in most peasant households?The meat and bones left over during the Chinese New Year are hung on the beams of the house, and they are taken down when they are to be eaten.When it was removed, there were maggots all over the flesh and bones.

How to do?

No one will throw away such a meaty bone.Instead, pat off the maggots on the meat and bones, and then use the meat and bones to make soup and dip a little oil star.The overcooked meat and bones will be fished out and continue to be hung on the beams of the house!

This is the daily life of the bottom peasants.

Many times, in many places, many farmers can't even afford such meaty bones!

This is also why many farmers will give up their land to become tenants—they can’t support their own family by farming the land themselves. If they work as tenants for others, they don’t have to pay the land tax themselves, and the host family will take care of a meal.

Jiang Yanzhi asked again: "Then I would like to ask the Junjun, I heard that the Junjun intends to dig a pond on Zhuangzi?"

"Yes, for irrigation." Xing Xiuyan said, "I asked the old man in Zhuangzi, and I heard that this area with a radius of 700 miles was originally a swamp [-] years ago. It was located in a low-lying area and was the habitat of various birds. It has been cultivated into arable land for hundreds of years, but it is inherently afraid of drought and waterlogging. That's why I thought about building a pond to store water. But where to build it, and how deep should be dug, it's going to be troublesome grown up."

Hearing Xing Xiuyan's expectations for Zhuangzi, Jiang Yanzhi already had some calculations in his mind.

He clasped his fists at the mother and daughter and went back.

It was getting late, and he was going back to the post station in the county seat to settle down, and he would come back after making the plan on Zhuangzi.
