Farming and teaching across different worlds

Confess, and finally decided to build toll gates at both ends of the bridge, and each villager in the outer village will be charged a penny per person, and the vehicle will also be counted. If there is an ox cart and a donkey cart, an extra penny will be charged, but if it is a horse cart, it will be counted separately. I am uneasy. No matter how many people there are in each carriage, it costs ten cents per carriage.Of course, it was only charged in this way in the last five years.

This time these people came together just to talk about this charging plan with a few people.

They all nodded after listening to it, and agreed. Normally, they would be charged per person for crossing the river by ferry, one penny per person. They could accept this price, and they would be satisfied as long as Qingshan Village agreed with them to cross the bridge.

……

I don't know when, the stone bridge in Qingshan Village has been spread in the county. Originally, the head of a remote village like Qingshan Village could not come to a few outsiders a year, but since the reputation of Qingshan Village as a stone bridge spread, Every day, a horse-drawn carriage can be seen parked at the bridgehead. At the beginning, the villagers just came out to watch the scenery. After a long time, they got used to it. Now they don’t care about any kind of carriage. Looking at these things is not as interesting as looking at the seedlings in your own field.

It's just that this phenomenon has not been alleviated because the villagers are accustomed to it. On the contrary, because the reputation of the stone bridge spreads far and wide, more and more people come to see the bridge.Qingshan Village charged a large sum of money for the bridge toll alone.

This day, a strange carriage came to the end of the bridge. When it was driving to the end of the bridge, the carriage stopped, and a young man got out of the carriage. He was well dressed, young man, and after getting off the carriage, he walked up and down the end of the bridge. , carefully observe the arch bridge.He not only lamented the ingenious thought of the designer, this single-hole arch bridge is a new design that has never been done before, so the slope of the bridge deck is obviously much smaller, which is really wonderful.

After reading it, the young man walked onto the bridge deck and felt the smoothness and firmness of the bridge deck. When he met a villager, he stopped and asked the village head how to get there.Recently, I occasionally saw strangers who came to see the strange stone bridge, and the villagers did not make a fuss, and pointed him in the direction.

After a while, the village chief took the young man to Ji Xiuran's house.

"Xiu Ran, this young master is looking for you to ask about Shiqiao." The village chief said the reason for coming as soon as he entered the door.Ji Xiuran greeted him, and let the village chief and the others into the house. He took a closer look at the young man, and felt that this man was not an ordinary person, but he didn't know him, so he cautiously saluted and greeted him.

The young man returned a gift to Ji Xiuran, sat down and took a sip of tea, and slowly stated his purpose: "I saw that the design of the stone bridge is extremely ingenious, so I yearned for it. I wanted to see the designer and discuss it."

Ji Xiuran did not take this kind of argument seriously, after all, the design of this stone bridge has passed the test of time, it is amazing, and it is placed there brightly, there is nothing to hide.

He took out the design drawing drawn at that time and gave a copy to the young man.The young man took it over, and after looking it over carefully, he exclaimed, "Young Master Ji, can I take this blueprint back and ponder over it." Ji Xiuran nodded, not caring, and the young man continued, "I heard that the person who built the bridge at that time At that time, I also used some rare tools, can you also tell me."

Ji Xiuran took a clear look at the young man, he really came prepared, but he didn't intend to keep the design of those rocker arms privately, he showed it to the young man, and he also answered some questions raised by the young man.

"You can take these blueprints with you, but don't use them for personal gain." He has no objection to using them for research and discussion. If they are used for personal gain or used in a bad place, he disagrees. Yes, although he will not be able to do anything at that time, but he still hopes to explain to this person, and he sees that this person is also a scholar, so he naturally has the integrity of a scholar, and he will keep his promise if he promises.

Ji Xiuran doesn't care about these things. He doesn't have the ability to spread these things in this world and improve the status quo of this world. He hopes that someone who is capable can do it for him, and he also finds that this young man is not an ordinary person. I feel that I am not an ordinary scholar, but a natural aura accumulated by long-term experience. This kind of person either has a background in his family or he has ability. No matter what kind of things, these things are in his hands. Can function, so he is satisfied.

The young man handed over a jade plaque to Ji Xiuran and said, "Young Master Ji, this is a token of our Gongsun family. If you have any requests, you can send me a letter if you take this token to a shop with this pattern. I will try my best to do it." arrive."

Ji Xiuran took the jade plaque and looked at the pattern on the front, then turned it over to look at the word Gongsun, and nodded.He didn't know the background of this Gongsun family, but this person dared to say such big words, it seemed that he was a big family, but Ji Xiuran didn't care too much, he didn't feel that he needed to ask others, but he still respectfully accepted this As a token, after all, this son is also kind, and he accepts this person's kindness.

After the young man left, Ji Xiuran naturally put this matter behind him.

After Ji Xiuran sent the young man and the village head away, he remembered that he hadn't seen Shi Jingchen today, so he went to look for him with water and some food. It happened that he was free now, so it was a walk, so he relaxed, and walked along the path at the door to the foot of the mountain. , he looked at all kinds of new flowers and plants growing around him, feeling very relaxed.

These were all planted by Shi Jingchen. During this period of time, he slowly erected a fence around the newly opened field for experimentation. During this period of time, because the villagers were very curious about Ji Xiuran's new planting method, there were often people in the field. Walking around this place, Shi Jingchen was afraid that someone would make trouble, so he surrounded the land, and Shi Jingchen also planted wild roses around. These wild roses have thorns on their flower stems, which can strengthen the protection.

The area at the foot of the mountain was also planted with thorn vines by Shi Jingchen. The fruit of this thorn vine has a taste similar to pineapple, and he can use it to make wine in the future.From the foot of the mountain to the place directly to the experimental field, Shi Jingchen dug a few wild goji berries from the top of the mountain and planted them.

Now these have grown to a certain scale, Shi Jingchen also planted the wild chrysanthemum and apocynum that Ji Xiuran said before, and now they have grown.

Ji Xiuran went to the experimental field to have a look, and found that the planted sweet potatoes and corn were growing well, and there were no weeds or insects. Shi Jingchen would go around the field every day, and he would pull out the weeds if there were any. He took it off, he was very careful about the crops in these acres of land.

After Ji Xiuran had seen it, he continued to walk along the path. He heard loud shouts ahead, it seemed that they were working.

Ji Xiuran soon arrived at their working place. Shi Jingchen and several young people from the village were digging a hole in full swing. This was the lotus pond that Ji Xiuran wanted.

He has already processed the lotus seeds in the past few days, soaked them in warm water to grow seedlings, and they will germinate in a few days, so that after the pond is dug, the lotus flowers can be planted, so that in a few months, there will be lotus leaf rice to eat .

Ji Xiuran stood firm on the edge, and when Shi Jingchen saw him coming, he stopped what he was doing, climbed up, and walked in front of him.

Ji Xiuran handed him the things in his hand and said, "Take a break, I'll bring you some food."

Shi Jingchen took it, and shouted at the digger, "Take a break."

Several people stopped their hands when they heard this, climbed to the edge of the pit, and sat down. Wang Dazhu came over and picked up the water and food that Shi Jingchen had poured and distributed them to others, and said to Ji Xiuran by the way: "It's hard work, Xiuran brought us food." Ji Xiuran smiled You don't have to be so polite with a smile.

The others got food and water and automatically found a place a certain distance away from the two to sit down and eat.

These people are all brothers who have a good relationship with Shi Jingchen. They behave like this not because of other things, but because they automatically leave space for the two of them to be alone, and they don't want to eat dog food.

Ji Xiuran and the two are used to this kind of situation, they don't feel embarrassed, they just do whatever they need with a calm face.

Ji Xiuran took out the cloth towel he carried with him, and handed it to Shi Jingchen to wipe his sweat.Shi Jingchen didn't answer, but bent down a little, and asked Ji Xiuran to wipe it for him. Seeing that his hands were full, Ji Xiuran wiped it for him. This action happened to be seen by other people.Several young people led by Xu Erhu laughed kindly when they saw the two of them interacting so closely.

Wang Dazhu was very happy to see the two getting along so harmoniously, and he also had a gratified smile on his face. He had been worried about the relationship between the two before, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

Ji Xiuran calmly wiped off Shi Jingchen's sweat, put away the cloth towel, and his expression didn't change the whole time. These people have a good relationship with Shi Jingchen, and Ji Xiuran is also familiar with them. Usually, they see him and Shi Jingchen's intimacy. Every move he made would be booed like this, and he had already gotten used to it after a lot of times. Anyway, these people didn't have any malicious intentions.

"I came all the way and saw that the crops in the field are growing very well. I think the pond is almost dug, and there is no need to rush the work. Be careful not to tire yourself. Go home early at night. I will make you like it. The braised pork." Ji Xiuran looked at Shi Jingchen's black and red arms and face sunburned by the sun, and ordered with some distress.

"Okay." Shi Jingchen looked at Ji Xiuran tenderly, feeling his care, his heart was very happy, and there was a gentleness around him.Ji Xiuran himself may not realize that every time he faces Shi Jingchen, he will care from the bottom of his heart. In fact, this is a rare thing for him. He seems to be gentle and easy to get along with, but in fact there is
