Chapter 11 Rock Mountain
Mo Shao couldn't help laughing, and he picked up his breath again. He tapped the gate with one foot and hurried up the mountain. With another breath, he had already taken Yan Di to the top of the rocky mountain.

"Wow!" Yan Yan looked at the entire mountain col and stretched the ending excitedly. Do you still remember the loss?
On this rocky mountain, Yan Yu really saw the mountains on both sides clearly, and pointed to the slope that was closest to the col.

"Uncle Mo!" Yan Jing thought about adding more requirements, but suddenly she thought that a bunch of things she asked for had not been completed, and now she has to set a new goal, she will be resented!

Mo Shao couldn't help laughing after hearing her hesitant to say anything, so he had to ask questions. "Does the girl have a new idea?"

The lush peaks and forests, the emerald green hills, such scenery, even he was moved, not to mention the eccentric Yan Ji.

"Uncle Mo is so good!" Yan Ji laughed dryly, pointing to the two closest mountains and exclaiming with joy. "Uncle Mo's two rocky mountains have recently been converted into bridges. There are several waterwheels under the bridge. The two sides of the mountain can be planned as workshops. Water conservancy can be used to drive the workshops. If Uncle Mo is willing to stay and lead the workshops, these fortifications will be carried out in the future. It's up to Uncle Mo to maintain it, okay?"

Mo Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he nodded. "Girl find something more for Mo, and Mo won't be able to go back to the mountain gate."

Yan Ji blinked and looked at Mo Shao. Does this imply that she should do more work?
Mo Shao gave her a nod of affirmation.

"Then please ask Uncle Mo for the fortifications here!" Yan Ji excitedly described the arch bridge in her mind, "The arch bridge is built from both sides, and it does not need to be exactly opposite. After the beginning of winter in the coming year, connect the arch bridge again, and you can do Tai Chi. On the rocky ground, hang up the waterwheel and set up a pavilion in the middle, and the workshop will be officially opened."

"Do you want to bring in the mountain stream in the west first? Let the Yanshan sluice try to operate in advance." Guiwu Mountain has very few water sources, and the only water source flows into Xieyang City, which becomes one of the moats.

When the water source is sufficient, cutting off part of the water source secretly will not be discovered, and it can also speed up the restoration of the farmland in Zhuangzi under the mountain.

Yan Ji pondered for a while before tilting her head and asking. "If we want to increase the water source, our waterway has to go further, and if possible, it has to flow back to the moat."

It is not so easy to intercept the water source of the moat, how come and how come.

"Girl wants to fill up the water in this mountain, it won't be possible without heavy rain for more than ten days and nights." Mo Shao has absolute confidence in the fortification, "Even if it is full, the gate in the rocky mountain will not be a problem to control the flood discharge, it is only necessary to It is difficult to fill the cols."

Even if it leads to the mountain stream in the west, it is only a trickle.

Yan Yan smiled, this is what she wanted!It's not that she doesn't have confidence in the fortifications, it's because she has an extra expert to protect her!
"With Uncle Mo here, these are all trivial matters!"

"The girl has won the prize!" Mo Shao was embarrassed to be praised.

"No!" Yan Ji decided to give another good person card, "If Uncle Mo knew me, how could these fortifications be so fast? But if we want to steal the water source of Xishan, we still need to build another waterway from the village to send it to the moat. Some water will save the government from trouble, after all, it will be fine if there is no shortage of water, once the water shortage period comes, the moat will definitely be held accountable."

She has never liked trouble, and would rather go one step further if she can do less.

"Momou takes orders." Mo Shao responded respectfully, admiring the girl's multi-dimensional thinking.

The girls raised in the uncle's mansion are always seen more than the reckless men like them, no wonder the young master also likes it.

In the past, they were hidden in the market, and they didn't need or care about the interaction between these officials and people.

They all like to listen to her plan quietly, as if in her beautiful smile, the ideal fortification has been built.

"Uncle Mo, if there is not enough rock chips, and there is a predetermined bridge under the rock mountain, keep the rock shell and leave the hollow rock formation. In the future, the workshop will be hidden inside and it will be convenient to use water conservancy."

"Is there a good place for the girl's restaurant and bookstore?"

Yan Ji turned her head to look at Mo Shao again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for her.

It's active takeover!
"Where do you think the girl is?" This time it was Mo Shao who wanted to know.

"Letters and writers always like to listen to the stream facing the moon, and watch the tide to write articles. We can build a bookstore by diverting water and sit down to listen to the stream and the moon." While riding the wind on Mo Shao's shoulders, she had already thought about the bookstore.

Mo Shao lifted his breath dozens of times, and took Yan Ji to the mountain stream to see from a distance, the bamboo forest of Concubine Xiang was quiet, green and tall, and the elegant main leaves were fragrant.

"Is it good to build on the rocks and supplemented by the bamboo forest?" Mo Shao had already explored Guiwu Mountain these days, but he felt that Yan Ji had picked it right.

Few people can see the connotation of this mountain, and she, a six-year-old girl, not only saw through him, but also tried her best to make Guiwu Mountain show its superiority.

Yan Yan smiled softly from her bosom friend. "Let's see the location of the restaurant from a distance. This large piece of Xiangfei Bamboo can do a lot of things!"

"The restaurant can be chosen above the workshop. The girl's Tai Chi pavilion can attract these drinkers, and it can cover up the noise of the workshop."

"It's great to have Uncle Mo!"

……

On the day of winter, the water begins to freeze

The harvest season that should have been celebrated, but because of the poor harvest on the farm, the rice seeds were wilted, and the rice lotus was empty. After inspecting the village, Yan Ji ordered all the rice seeds to be burned, and then ordered the steward to mix the calculated quicklime , the soil is like digging three feet of soil.

Since it is not possible to produce full-bodied rice, it will exhaust the fertility of the soil. The more distressed the time and energy invested, the more barren the soil will be.

Yan Ji asked people to count the Dingkou in the village, and she issued 30 taels of silver on a door-to-door basis so that people could maintain their farming equipment and live a good year when the soil was fallow.

On this day, Yan Ji picked a village, called all the cooks of each village, and set up dozens of stoves in the ploughing fields, prepared food for thousands of people, and asked each village to bring the eaters to the meeting.

At a glance, dozens of pots were steaming with white smoke, and a dozen steamers were also steaming. The tables and chairs brought by the villagers were all there, and there was a bonfire in the middle.

Bai Lu cut out a small piece of longan glutinous rice cake from the steamer and handed it to Yan Ji. "Girl, try it."

Yan Ji couldn't wait to take a sip, the lingering aroma of the wine mixed with the aroma of longan overflowed between her lips and teeth. "Great! That's what it tastes like."

Bai Lu excitedly went down to the pot, and the brown-black hat-style bowl was filled with rich sesame oil chicken soup and handed it to Yan Ji. "Girl try it again, Mrs. Wang has been busy with these people all morning!"

Yan Jing raised a bright smile and honestly blessed Sister Wang. "Thank you, Mrs. Wang! You worked hard to prepare the meal."

"Girl! Don't jeopardize the old lady, these are what the old lady should do, and the maiden's great kindness and virtue have not been repaid!"

This blessed body was so frightened that Sister-in-Law Wang couldn't stand and fell to her knees. How could a farmer's wife who has been a farmer all her life deserve her master's gratitude?You should work hard until you die!

As soon as she saw Sister Wang kneeling, Bai Lu couldn't stop the speed, Yan Ji also knelt down, and the poor brows blinked at Sister Wang. "It broke me! If Mrs. Wang doesn't get up, the first sound of Donglei will hit me on the head."

Bai Lu, who was holding the soup, was stunned, and quickly grabbed the two of them. "Get up! The girl has to try the soup!"

"That's right! That's right! Don't let Donglei hit me!" Yan Ji took a sip of the fragrant sesame oil chicken soup and asked with a frown. "Sister Bailu, are there any kumquats in the village?"

"Yes! Gu Yu hurried back and brought it to the girl." Bai Lu nodded.

Seeing Gu Yu taking orders and running away, Yan Ji blinked again and looked at Sister Wang. "Has Mrs. Wang misunderstood the silver taels I gave to Zhuang Shang?"

Sister Wang was stunned for a while, but she also understood the meaning of Yan Ji's words.

It's not a reward, it's a giving.

Yan Ji winked and asked Bai Lu to invite dozens of women.

When Bai Lu saw everyone, they all came, gathering the energy of her dantian. "I heard that there are still people who don't understand the purpose of the girl's 30 taels of house-to-house. I'm sorry to trouble you to hear it clearly. The girl gave all the salary for the coming year! It's true that she gave a lot more, but it was during the period of heavy crop management. You have to buy radish seeds or cabbage seeds to cultivate the soil. When the flowers bloom, you can’t harvest them to extract oil, and you have to continue to dig them into the soil to cultivate the land. During the period of non-cultivation, the land tax and military tax must be paid to Xieyang on time. In the city, please dig the cellar and turn it into a granary a few days ago, that is, let the big guys prepare the taxes that they have to pay at that time according to the number of their own mouths. If someone squeezes the rapeseed oil privately and does not turn the soil, the harvest in the next year will not be good. Or the tax is not prepared, which affects the time to pay the tax, and the small business of the village is at most sold, and if you can’t pay the tax, you have to bear the official blame yourself.”

Yan Ji gave Bai Lu a sip of the lukewarm chicken soup and drank the whole mouth-watering tea. "I wonder if this explanation is clear?"

A group of wives Ai Ai stirred their clothes, and Sister Wang took the lead to answer. "Wife is clear."

"Of course the money will not be paid in vain. The girl just made all the plans for the coming year and helped everyone prepare the taxes. Every household can save the taxes." Bai Lu emphasized again.

Gu Yu, who was holding a large bag of kumquats, also rushed back at this time, and sent the kumquats to a few old ladies who were in charge of chicken soup. Several people poured all the wine jars into a dozen pots.

Immediately, the aroma of the wine overflowed, attracting the greed of many people.

"This wine is making me greedy." Mo Shao watched as more than a dozen pots of chicken soup began to boil and the aroma filled the air.

"It's coming! It's coming!" Yan Ji was very satisfied with the escaping aroma of the wine. "I'll have enough chicken soup later."

After Mo Shao took her to inspect the lush bamboo forest of Concubine Xiang, the next day, she took some snow fragrant liquor from Uncle Ye's wine cellar, and found a few people who enthusiastically poured the liquor into the bamboo tube.It's only been [-] days, how can Yuli wine be so mellow?

These bamboo wines are brewed just to make up the chicken soup on the day of winter. They say that it makes up for the winter, and six sicknesses are empty. Two bottles of wine are added to each pot of soup, and this winter can be warmed up.

"Girl, can this wine be so authentic after only 20 days?" Mo Shao lifted Yan Xie to his shoulders again.

"It's not enough time!" A good bamboo wine can last two or three years!She has only borrowed the fragrance and secretly for the past [-] days.
