Chapter 266 There Are Many Plans

As soon as they entered the yard, the boys hugged Chen Zhongzhu and asked him how he was doing these days.

Chen Zhongzhu was almost suffocated by them.

Zhang Ci patted Bai Ce's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, let's all go and receive the reward." Bai Ce led the people back.

After arguing for a while, the boys let go, and Chen Zhongzhu finally had a chance to speak.He saluted: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm back."

"Hurry up and get inside, it's cold outside." Chen Fan called everyone into the room.

After eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, Chen Zhongzhu felt his whole body became active, and he began to talk about their experiences on the road.

The children were overwhelmed when they heard this.

"Although the journey was hard, fortunately there was enough food." Chen Zhongliang was thankful.

Chen Yue disagreed: "Those who are short of food, maybe they will follow them."

"There will definitely be heavy taxes next year. If there is another famine, I don't know what they will do. Will they flee again?" Chen Ying worried.

"I couldn't escape to Changping Township even if I fled from the famine. The journey was really far away. They had been arguing for three days about the various consequences of returning home, and they didn't listen to it." Chen Xiu said.

The winter solstice was the same as last year. Chen Fan distributed pens and paper to the children in the academy, and gave benefits to the elderly over 50 years old.

The refugees were deeply touched.They have also heard the stories of those people on their way back to their hometown, and they are all talking about whether they want to go back to their hometown in the future.

In the evening, Chen Fan and Zhang Ci picked cotton in the space.

"Things grow very quickly here, even the cotton bolls won't fall off by themselves, and neither will the rice and rapeseed." Zhang Ci's tone was very regretful.

Chen Fan smiled: "It's better to be able to fall into the basket by yourself, how easy it is." She looked at Zhang Ci, he was very fast, but his movements were still graceful.

"Don't plan to be lazy under the guise of looking at me." Zhang Ci laughed at her.

"If it looks good, you have to look more." She simply stopped and looked at him.

Zhang Ci also stopped: "Then shall we look at each other?"

"No, let's work." Chen Fan knew the consequences of staring at each other.

"Next year, I will also grow some cotton, and each village will plant one hundred acres." Zhang Ci said while picking.

"Won't it attract attention by planting so many? I only planted ten acres here."

"Can't the Liu family transport it from Beihu? Let's say it was transported by the Liu family." Zhang Ci said.

"The goods transported by the Liu family will also be registered, and the difference should not be too great." Chen Fan worried that he would not be able to justify himself at that time.

"Then I will plant less, and there will be a lot of them in all places, and no one will pay attention to the difference of a few hundred catties in the total. In the next year, we will be able to plant on a large scale." Zhang Ci pondered.

"Cotton clothes will be sold in the market next year." Chen Fan said her plan.

"Duck down jackets can also be put on the agenda." Zhang Ci reminded.

Chen Fan shook his head: "There are only five or six thousand ducks, and the number is still not enough."

After being busy for a while, the two washed their hands and walked along the stream.

Many trees in the space fell outside, and there was an additional acre of open space on the side of the forest, which Chen Fan used to grow medicinal materials.

"The medicinal herbs outside are not as good as here." Zhang Ci looked at the medicinal herbs that were growing well, "I just don't know how effective they are."

"It's up to the doctor to experiment." Chen Fan said with a smile, "Next year, I hope the doctor can recruit more apprentices so that more people can understand medicine."

"Like an academy, we can set up a medical school to learn medical skills." Zhang Ci is very good at drawing inferences, "However, many skills are about inheritance, and they don't want to pass them on to outsiders."

"The main reason is that they are afraid of losing their jobs. If they are guaranteed, they will be less worried. You can let them be deans, teachers, and get paid." Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci.

He smiled and pinched Chen Fan's face: "You want me to lobby?"

The two walked to the water column, where Chen Fan woke up.Zhang Ci likes to stand there and watch the water column fall from the sky.

"Next year, I can open a jewelry store in the capital, and let my mother manage it." Zhang Ci said, "The flowers and fruit trees in the villa are also growing well, and they are going to be sold to the public next year."

"Well, there are many rich people in the capital, so make more money from the capital."

Zhang Ci smiled: "This year's labor has been spent on building the reservoir, and next year there will be more time for building houses and setting up factories. The money-making plan can be vigorously implemented."

Chen Fan hugged him: "There are a lot of things to do. Let's build a cabin here first?"

Zhang Ci stared at it for a while: "Just put up a tent."

"So reluctant? You said you would help me make a bed." Chen Fan pouted and stared at him, but he held his lips in his mouth, so he had to pinch his waist, and he hugged him even tighter.

Eunuch Xiao came again, bringing the township lord's salary and court rewards.On his welcome banquet, fish head with chopped pepper and spicy lamb hot pot appeared.

"Last year we discovered a red fruit. General Yan and the others named it chili pepper. Mr. Tang and the others are trying to grow it, and they may have succeeded. This is what we tried to grow. Father-in-law, taste it?"

Xiao Gonggong liked it very much and asked how to cook the dishes.Chen Fan pointed to a jar of chili sauce on the table: "You can put chili sauce on the fish head and steam it. You can also mix some chili sauce with the food. There are two big jars for the emperor, and a small jar for the father-in-law."

Eunuch Xiao was very happy.It should be a little less than the Holy One.

Chen Fan also took out a cookbook: "Please pass it on to the sage." Instead of hiding it and being questioned, it is better to present it generously early.

Some dried and fresh peppers were sent, and a lot of corn seeds were also sent.

The gifts for the Holy Majesty and several empresses were packed in separate boxes.

The winter solstice water conservancy and topdressing projects started again. The upper reaches of the Qingxi River and Changhe River were cleaned up. A lot of silt and yellow sand were dug out, and fertilizers and construction materials were increased.The dikes were also strengthened.

The river ponds and ditches have also been cleaned up, and a lot of decomposed soil in the nearby mountains and forests has been transported to the fields to improve the farmland.

The wheat fields were topdressed, and the fermented manure left by each family was cleaned up.Everywhere in Changping Township is clean and refreshing.

Immediately afterwards, everyone started busy with spring potato breeding.Xiangjun Mansion and Su Garden are also busy pruning flower corridors and fruit trees.

The new residents have been busy for so many days, and they still find it strange that they can do so many things in winter?
