There is a strong husband in the time-traveling house

On the first night back to the mountain village, Ning Jing and Mu Xingchen slept very soundly!It can be said that Ning Jing slept the most soundly since he left Zhaojia Village.

At daybreak, Mu Xingchen woke up very early. When he looked up, he saw Ning Jing sleeping so deeply, and there was a faint warmth in his eyes. He had always known this person's heart, and it was him and his father who returned to Zhaojia Village this time. After discussing with Ah Mo, if there is no accident, this will be the place where he and Ning Jing will retire in the future. He couldn't help but hug Ning Ning tightly, and fell asleep again. Ning Ning in his sleep held Mu Xingchen in his arms I hugged him, then rubbed his head, and fell asleep again.

When they woke up again, the sun was already high and there was no movement in the yard. Ning Jing blinked, looked at Mu Xingchen in his arms, smiled, and gently put him on the pillow. He patted lightly, saw that he was sleeping soundly again, smiled, then kissed his forehead, got up with a smile, got off the kang gently, put on his clothes, looked back at Mu Xingchen, and opened the door walked in.

Xiaocao was waiting at the door, when she saw him coming out, she immediately walked over and said, "Morning, Master Ning."

After Ning Jing heard this, he looked at his watch. It was past nine o'clock, and he said with a smile, "Well, it's quite early and it's almost time."

As soon as Xiaocao heard it, she knew that she had said something wrong, and then her face turned red. Ning Jing rubbed his head and said, "Little boy, why are you blushing? It's okay, where is the hot water? Wash your face."

"The washing water is ready, you can wash up quickly, and the food is also ready." Xiaocao said with bright eyes.

Ning Jing also helplessly said to Xiaocao: "Okay, but I'm going to go for a walk in the village now, and I'll come back to eat with Xiaochen later." After finishing speaking, he washed up first, put on thick clothes, and went out. When I got to the door of my house, I saw a very interesting scene. I saw people in a village sweeping the street. Yes, they were sweeping the snow on the street. Neighbor Lao Li: "Brother Li, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's Lord Ning. Isn't it snowing? Everyone transported all the snow to the outside of the village to save the spring drought." Lao Li said while loading snow on the car while talking to Ning Jing.

"That's right. In this case, the old people in the provincial village don't have to worry about being slipped when they go out for a walk. That's good." Ning Jing also answered, and then said to Xue Qian who was following behind him: "Brother Xue, call me When the family members come out, the snow in front of our house should also be cleared, and then all the snow will be sent to Geography, so it can be regarded as a good deed for our family!" After finishing speaking, he went to the village, and met Everyone he knew greeted him, and even a child came over to greet him and called him sir.

Ning Jing didn't put his figure too high, just greeted them with a smile, and finally arrived at the old village head's house. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the village head's house, he saw Zhao Gui was there, and when he saw him coming in, he laughed. He greeted him happily: "Brother Ning is here, hurry up and sit in the room. It happens that father-in-law and several village elders are in the room."

Ning Jing nodded and said, "Brother Zhao Gui, you are busy, so I'll go in first?"

Zhao Gui nodded, and then started busy with the work in hand. Today's work must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if it delays the busy farming for a few days.

Ning Jing entered the house and saw the village chief and his wife sitting and talking with several village elders. Seeing Ning Ning come in, Yu Feng went to the kitchen and came out with a bowl of tea after a while, and put it in front of Ning Ning. All the old people have seen the salute, and now they bowed down to Yu Feng to salute.

Yu Feng hurriedly supported Ning Jing to get up: "Master Ning, don't be so polite, you will ruin the old man by doing this."

"Grandma Zhao, you are an elder, and I am a junior, so it is only right to greet you." Ning Jing said modestly.

All the old people in the room were watching, and they already had a good impression of Tranquility in their hearts. Now that he has become the husband of their little master, he is their master. He didn't treat them like those people who ascended to heaven when they came here today. These little people were still so polite, and their attitude towards him became more and more friendly, and then they motioned him not to be so alien, and sat down to talk.

After Ning Jing sat down, he directly stated the purpose of coming here, and then took out the drawing of Quyuanli that he had drawn earlier, and handed it to Zhao Zhenbei: "Uncle, this is the drawing of the iron plow that I just drew. I would like to ask you to find someone to help build it, I wonder if there is a blacksmith in our village?"

Village head Zhao took the blueprint and looked at it, his eyes lit up, but then he hid the light in his eyes, then handed the blueprint to the old people around him, turned to him and said: "There is a blacksmith in the village, and money is full. That is, don't look at this kid looking so fat and fat, in fact, his blacksmithing skills are very good, and his hands are also dexterous. Last time you asked him to make the ceramic squat stool when you left the village to catch up with the exam. It's done, and I've researched and pondered it myself. Now every household uses it. Now there is no dry toilet in our village. It saves mosquitoes and flies in summer, and it is much cleaner.

Ning Jing nodded. He knew this. He used it when he went to the toilet at home yesterday. Although it was not as convenient as modern toilets, it was still very good. After thinking about it, after a few days until Kaihua, he is thinking of a way to directly lead the mountain spring water into the bathroom of their house, so that whoever uses it can flush it directly, without the trouble of people frequently fetching water into the bathroom, and he also Sorry, in the past, the water used in the Prince's Palace was said to be brought by the servants to the houses by water truck every day. This time they came back here to create the conditions themselves.

Hearing what the old village head said at this moment, he nodded: "Well, I think Brother Qianman is also a powerful person, how about this, when I have time, I will call Brother Qianman to come to the house, and then I will talk to him in detail, Although I am not very clear about blacksmithing, but I know the general idea, and I have to explain it clearly to him.”

Several village elders nodded after hearing this, and they agreed with him. After Ning Jing finished talking about seeing Tie Li, he said to the elders: "Uncle Village, I see that the river outside our village There is a depression on it, the area is quite large, what was that place used to do? Years ago I was here and didn’t have time to go there, so I don’t know too much.”

"Oh, you said that over there, there used to be a field, but one year there was a sudden earthquake on the mountain, and a lot of big stones rolled down, and then the river outside the village was crowded and diverted. You It is said that our common people’s family can’t fight against God. So far, no one has gone to plant the land, and it can’t be planted anymore, so that place became a place without an owner, but because At the beginning, there were many stones falling from the mountain, so the people in the village went there to move stones to build houses and build courtyard walls, as well as pick up dead trees. When the last stones and trees were gone, there were only broken stones left. , there is still mud, and it has been abandoned so far, I don’t know why you ask this?” The old village chief said while stroking his beard.

Ning Jing nodded after hearing this, and then said, "So that's the case? Uncle Village, do we have many droughts in summer?"

"Well, in the past few years, God has opened his eyes and didn't disturb our farmers, but when there was a severe drought before, we were close to the mountain, and it was good to have water on the mountain, while other villages were far away from the mountain. Coupled with the fact that the river was cut off, many villages had no crops, and if the imperial court had not allocated grain to relieve the people, how many people might have starved to death!" Several village elders also began to add.

Ning Jing nodded after hearing this: "It seems that we need to build a small reservoir. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the water in the river to introduce water into the reservoir, and wait for the drought to use the water in the reservoir. Irrigate the farmland, and you can also grow fish and shrimps and plant lotus in it, which not only beautifies the environment, but also improves our living conditions. Many peach trees are planted in the village. When the spring comes, the mountains and villages will be full. All of them are peach blossoms. Our place is relatively close to Dajue Temple. Many people will come here to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. When they pass by our village, they will think about visiting the village when they see how beautiful our place is. After all, we will build some restaurants, inns, grocery stores and so on, which will definitely bring a lot of income to the village. In autumn, when the peaches are ripe, the fish, shrimp and lotus in the reservoir can be sold for money. In this way, our place will become a well-known wealthy village, so that the old prince and princess can rest assured.

Before we left a few days ago, his old man told me about this. He hoped that after I came back, I could help the villagers plant good land and improve the life in our village. Township, those who have no relatives and no place to go, the old prince plans to settle here with us, we still have work to do, at least we have to find a place for them to stay, this is also the rule of our side-by-side palace for many years, as long as it is The generals who want to follow the prince will be given a place to retire, so I thought I could help everyone. Last year, I also went to northern Xinjiang with Xiaochen, and the soldiers there lived there. I have also seen the days, and I hope to do something for them. Our village is not big but not small. If there are foreign soldiers, I don’t feel at ease and let them enter the village casually. I am afraid that something bad will happen, so I just want to hear the opinions of the elders. "After speaking, he took a sip of water.

Several village elders also received letters brought back by Wang Ningping and the others, and they also knew that it would be a big problem to arrange for these soldiers who had nowhere to go. There are a lot of wounded soldiers who have to come back with them, and this is very difficult. Although in their village, in the past, whenever the prince gave them an order, they would follow the order, but this time it will not work. There are too many people. Not only is resettlement a problem, but Even eating is a problem, which is a headache.

Ning Jing didn’t say anything when he saw him. At this time, he can’t just give his opinions casually. After all, he’s just getting familiar with this world. There are many things that can’t be realized right away. Come on, there is nothing you can do if you are anxious, and Village Chief Zhao and the others are experienced and have more opinions than outsiders like him. You have to listen to their opinions, otherwise they will do it for you, lest they think too much.

Suddenly, old man Qian Zhenxi, who had been silent all this time, spoke. The old man is a knowledgeable old man. He is the grandfather of Qian Man, so although he is fatter and speaks louder, the idea he gave is not bad: "This If there is any difficulty, just arrange people to Liushu Village upstream of us. Although the terrain is a bit high there, there are not many people living in the village there, just a few dozen households, and the one on our side The river goes around that side, so that not only can it protect the water source, so that they don’t cut off the water source for us when there is a drought, it’s also to seize the mountainous land over there. When it comes to planting peach trees, I think it’s true It is feasible. This way, not only will the villagers get benefits, but they can also solve the problem of food for everyone. There is also a lot of wasteland over there. Although the imperial court did not allocate land in the first two years, there are laws and regulations for the placement of wounded soldiers and returning soldiers. Can you encourage everyone to open up wasteland? This will not only prevent outsiders from entering our village casually, but also ensure the peace of our Zhaojia Village."

Seeing everyone nodding, Ning Jing asked, "Since they are all soldiers under the king's banner, why are they so clearly divided?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed, especially the village elders, who were puzzled by their smiles: "Am I not right?"

"No, it's because you formed a contract with the eighth general, so you didn't ask about the situation in the village?" Zhao Zhenbei looked at him with a smile, and the remaining village elders also looked at him.

Ning Jing touched his face, a little red: "No, I didn't ask, I thought it was a neighbor up and down the mountain!" Who told Mu Xingchen and his family to have a village on the mountain, but he had never been there, and He is also a person who doesn't like to inquire about everything, so he forgot about it.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, most of the people living in our village are the generals and soldiers who have stood side by side with the kings in the past. Now the soldiers around the prince are all from the village. There are really no outsiders. Since the day the village was built, no outsiders have entered the village, and you are the second one." Old Man Qian said.

Upon hearing this, Ning Jing became a little curious: "Then who is the number one?"

"Speaking of which, I won't hide it from you. When the children in this village grew up, they wanted to find a teacher. As a result, the villages on the left and right were unwilling to come when they heard that they belonged to our Zhaojia Village. They said they were from our village. Both are relatively strong in nature. They are afraid that if the children do not study hard, they will take care of the children at that time. Later, the children will go home to complain, and the family members will come to trouble the husband, so no one will come. At that time, we were worried to death.

Later, people in our village rescued a sick scholar not far from the village. The scholar missed the exam because of illness and almost died in the wilderness. He kindly rescued him, but ended up paying someone to cure him. This person said he would repay him by saying that he would teach the children to read and write, and when he came to Beijing to catch the exam next year, he would save money. Travel expenses.

The people in the village were naturally very happy to see him, so they built a house for him, which is the one you lived in back then. Even the deed of the house was completed, just to thank him, but the children have not yet been taught lessons. , his family came to him, not only wanted to pick him up, but also sold the house with his name on it, but the villagers stopped doing it, and such an ungrateful person was worthy of their rescue, so they directly asked for the house deed When he came back, he not only drove him out of the village, but also left behind the medical expenses, accommodation, and food money for this period of time. The old guy followed him to the county yamen, but the county magistrate immediately ruled us in favor of the case when he heard this, not only made the scholar hand over all the money spent, but also sent him to prison because of his bad morals. His fame as a scholar was deprived, and the scholar passed out all of a sudden, and his future in this life was over. At that time, their family members came to us to plead guilty, and hoped that we would talk to the county magistrate so that his fame would not be deprived. But no one in the village agreed. After that, it is said that the scholar and his family were finally beaten and went back to the hometown with his family. "

Ning Jing understands it completely now, no wonder he came here, although he had the deed in his hand, Zhao Gui didn't let him go to transfer the property, it seems that he wanted to see his character before he could proceed with the next thing , but he is more open-minded by nature, and he also understands that this is because he not only taught the children to read and write in the village, but also helped improve the people's livelihood, so he was recognized only after getting the affirmation of these old people, and then he laughed He laughed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint everyone."

A group of old men thought he would be unhappy, but they didn't expect him to be so open-minded, so they all praised him: He is a man with a heart, and it is really different after returning from the battlefield. He is a man who went out from our Zhao family village!

Ning Jing's face was a little red, and this group of old men praised others like this, hehe, what are you doing telling the truth, it's so embarrassing!

At this time, Mu Kai came in, greeted several village elders, and then said to Ning Jing: "Master Ning, master wants you to go home for dinner!"

Ning Jing nodded, then bid farewell to the village elder, left the village chief's house together, and went back to his own house for dinner!

On the way home, Ning Jing looked at the tidied up village road, and was quite happy in her heart, and then the pace of going home also accelerated!

When I arrived at the gate of my house, I saw that everything was cleaned up, so I walked around my yard, looked up at the mountain, and said: "The walls of this courtyard seem to be quite high, so even if there are wild animals Don't even think about coming in, um, it's pretty good, but do you have to take some precautions?"

"Prevent what?" A voice came!

Ning Jing turned around and saw Mu Xingchen standing behind him, he hurried over and held his hand: "Why did you come out?"

"The food is ready, but if you haven't entered the house for a long time, I have no choice but to call you in person. This time, you are so happy that you have returned to the village, and you don't even eat the food."

"No, no, I just want to see the changes in the village. Okay, let's go in quickly. I'm hungry too. I can eat a lot today. I have to eat three bowls of rice." Ning Jing pulled Mu Xingchen into the room. In my yard, the concierge closed the door!
