Farming and teaching across different worlds

The concept of loan repair is even more admirable for his advanced consciousness.

Not to mention the blueprints of the new farm implements, water wheels, and earthquake-proof carriages attached to the back. These things can benefit the common people just by taking them out, but these can be seen everywhere in Qingshan Village.

After reading it, Gongsun Zizhan was even more curious about the so-called laboratory created by Ji Xiuran. According to the report, many novel formulas and methods were obtained step by step in this laboratory.And because the investigators have limited ability and can't penetrate the various joints inside, they can only give a general conclusion. They can't figure out all the utensils and bottles and jars that the insiders got.

"My lord, this laboratory is very strange. Is there something wrong with it?" Gongsun Zizhan looked at the report worriedly. The content written in the report made the laboratory quite mysterious. He was worried that there would be something wrong with it. place.

"It's okay, Ji Xiuran is a smart person, he won't do stupid things." The third prince is not very worried, smart people know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they are very clear about what is good for them and what they can't do.

Gongsun Zizhan nodded, this is true, it can be seen from Ji Xiuran's usual affairs.But seeing the third prince's attitude towards Ji Xiuran, the doubts in his mind before resurfaced, he pondered for a moment, and boldly asked: "My lord, I have doubts in my heart, I hope my lord can explain it to me next time."

The third prince looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said calmly, "What doubts do you have?"

"I don't understand why the prince trusts Ji Xiuran so much, but doesn't accept it for his own use." Gongsun Zizhan boldly expressed his doubts.

The third prince looked at Gongsun Zizhan with a half-smile, and said, "Zizhan is so courageous, you dare to question the decision made by this king."

Gongsun Zizhan heard the third prince's tone and knew that he was not angry, so he boldly replied: "I don't dare, I just have doubts."

The third prince snorted coldly, and said: "I'm sorry you don't have the guts. Regarding the matter of Ji Xiuran, this prince can only say that this person can be used by you, but he will not be subdued by anyone."

Gongsun Zizhan heard the words of the third prince, and compared Ji Xiuran's character, it is indeed like this, he can casually give the good things he has to the people he associates with, but he will not succumb to others at will. Like now, Ji Xiuran may know in his heart that there is someone behind him, but he has never asked more questions after we have known each other for so long. He clearly knows in his heart who will end up with what he gave, but he has never revealed it.Gongsun Zizhan now understands that the method of the third prince and Ji Xiuran is a tacit understanding between the two of them. If so, then he will pretend that he doesn't know what to do and just continue to do his job well.

Chapter 85

The nagging Ji Xiuran was receiving several craftsmen sent by Zeng Junhui at this time. He didn't know that his family background had been investigated by the "behind the scenes".

These craftsmen are all familiar with Zeng Junhui's greenhouse building. When Ji Xiuran wrote to Zeng Junhui, his later greenhouse construction was just coming to an end, and he happened to work overtime for a few days. Pack up these craftsmen who built the greenhouse and send them to Ji Xiuran.

After these people were in place, Ji Xiuran began to promote the construction of fire pits and fire walls. Taking advantage of the slack time to promote these construction methods, each family can be guaranteed to have at least one fire kang available before winter, and when winter comes, they can burn fire kangs for warmth. .In fact, this era also has the method of building the earth dragon fire wall, but it is controlled by the rich family. However, there is no fire kang in this era. No matter what ordinary people are, they will not be able to build it. What Ji Xiuran is doing now is to use these Things that can benefit the people are promoted so that the majority of the people can benefit, and the kang is indeed more useful and practical than the earth dragon fire wall.

He also didn't issue official documents, but asked people to lead a few people directly to the villages to teach skills. There was enough time, and he could take it slowly one by one, and after he finished teaching the people in a village, he could let them go by themselves. Teach it to relatives in other villages, so that it can spread without Ji Xiuran teaching each village.

Senior Brother Lu had been walking around in various villages before, and he had a good relationship with the villagers. After hearing the news this time, he took the initiative to ask to bring these people to the countryside together.

Even if Ji Xiuran doesn't take the initiative to promote this good method that can help them keep warm in the cold winter, the common people will take the initiative to learn it in order to survive.So the promotion went very smoothly. Brother Lu also taught them that they can use wooden boxes to grow vegetables next to the fire wall or on the fire pit, so that they can eat fresh vegetables at home in winter, and they can take out any surplus. Sell ​​it and make some money to subsidize the family.

Greenhouse vegetables are a joint money-making project between Ji Xiuran and Zeng Junhui. Not to mention that there is a contract between the two of them, even if there is no contract restriction, he can't cut off his own money, so he can only teach this relatively simple method. earn some money.

Gongsun Zizhan also kept his word, and the brick kiln in Mozhou was built soon. Ji Xiuran asked people to buy new bricks and tiles from the brick kiln, and publicized this new thing to the people under his rule. , when building the fire wall and the heated kang this time, both can be used.

After the craftsman helped build these, he helped Ji Xiuran to repair the mansion. He endured the dilapidated courtyard before, just waiting for these people to clean it up, otherwise how would the family spend the winter here? Little Jiabao, he also needs to take care of himself.The ground dragon kang has to be built, and by the way, it has also been built for the office of the Yamen. Of course, other rooms have also been improved by the way. The man who fills up the entire yamen, although he is rich and powerful, he is not stupid.

When everyone in the yamen heard that he had rebuilt the ground dragon, some people began to make friends with him from time to time.Ji Xiuran acted as if he didn't see it, so he just chatted with them, and when he talked about the earth dragon, he just passed it by. Bullying it.

When all the projects were completed, he agreed to renovate the house of an official's house, and of course he received a high salary.

After several months, Ji Xiuran's work finally began to get on the right track. Although the biggest thorn had not been resolved, Ji Xiuran was not in a hurry. Although he had checked the files and ledgers before and found nothing, but Before giving up, they arranged for people to check the files and ledgers from ten years ago. Now things have some clues. After everything is checked, these people's good days will come to an end.

It's just that Zhang Mian's matter still hasn't found enough favorable evidence, and I heard from Wang You that he has a backer, but it's not clear who the backer is, and these have to be discussed in the long run.

As for Wang You, although he was a little slippery, he was still a useful person, and he hated Zhang Mian to the bone, so it was quite useful to use him to check and balance Zhang Mian.

Recently, after things in the yamen have been straightened out, it also happens that Shi Jingchen has a ten-day holiday. Although he is stationed in Song County and can go home every day, the two of them have been very busy during this time, and they have not been able to stay at home for a long time. We talked together, especially since we didn't accompany Jiabao properly, Ji Xiuran also wanted to spend a good day with Shi Jingchen and accompany Jiabao, so he took Jiabao for a walk outside the county town.

Since coming here, he hasn't had a chance to take a good look at the scenery of this place, and they don't have a specific destination today, they just want to walk around and see the different customs here.Moreover, Jiabao is now more than eight months old, and he can climb two steps by himself. Both of them have been too busy recently and neglected Jiabao. They came out today mainly because they wanted to take their son out to play.

Sure enough, Jiabao was very excited. When he was in the carriage, when he was looking out the window, he stood on Shi Jingchen's lap and kept jumping up and down, making "heck" and "ah" sounds incessantly. Nice to know.

"Third Brother, I'm so happy to see Jiabao. The scenery outside is very different from Qingshan Village, but it's also a different experience." Ji Xiuran supported Jiabao's arm and looked out of the car window.

Shi Jingchen looked at the two of them, said with a smile in his eyes, "Xiu Ran is also very happy."

Ji Xiuran smiled, glanced at Shi Jingchen and said, "Could it be that third brother is unhappy?"

Shi Jingchen nodded with a smile in his eyes and said, "I'm really happy in my heart."

The carriage drove for more than an hour, and stopped by a river. The river flowed down from the mountain. The river was not very wide, but the surrounding area was very secluded, and it was a good place for wild excursions.

Shi Jingchen jumped out of the carriage with Jiabao in his arms, and turned around to help Ji Xiuran down.After Ji Xiuran got out of the car, he took a deep breath and said, "Third brother, this place is very comfortable, and it is somewhat comparable to our Qingshan Village."

It is close to the mountains and forests, and there is a cool river, of course it is very cool and comfortable.It's the end of August now, and even though we're outside the customs, it's still hot. I haven't felt this kind of natural coolness in the county for a long time.Ji Xiuran felt nostalgic for a while.

Shi Jingchen on the side nodded in agreement, and Xiao Jiabao also felt comfortable and clucked.

Ji Xiuran pinched Jia Bao's cheek and said, "What do you know, come and join in the fun."

Garbo let out a "heh" in protest.Shi Jingchen hurriedly rescued Jiabao from the devil's hand, and said helplessly, "If you pinch too much, your mouth will water," and then turned around quickly.
