As the big boat was sailing on the river, Li Weizhi asked Bai Ce: "The section in Jingzhou is a bit dangerous, where did you come from?"

Bai Ce nodded: "The boatmen are experienced, they know how to get by. This boat is relatively stable."

Li Weizhi and Ren Jiayang were relieved, feeling better and happier on the deck with the early summer wind blowing.

Master Liu Er said: "It's a pity for Yuanshuo County. There are rocks all along the river, so we can't make a wharf."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Yes, these three years have been busy with things on the ground."

The boat didn't go too far, this trip was just to give them a taste.There is still a long way to go from the riverside to the state city.Ren and Li chatted with the Liu family about business with great interest.

The men ate dinner together and continued to chat about business while drinking.

The Liu family took the nursing home to Qiao State, and Feng Shan and Feng Shui followed them to protect them.

Li Weizhi said: "It would be great if Chunzhou had crisp pears and peaches like Changping Township. The grapes here are not growing well, and the business of grapes and wine cannot be done."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Silk, cloth, embroidery, jewelry, as long as there are differences, you can always do business." Because minerals are more profitable in Chunzhou, production is ignored.However, the money for mining is concentrated in the hands of officials and gentry, from the governor's office and county government to the common people, all are poor.

Back home in the evening, the three sons stood at the door to meet them.As soon as Chen Fan saw them, all the fatigue in his body disappeared.

She picked up the younger son and kissed them a few times, Zhang Ci hugged the twins to tease them.

Nurse Xu nagging at the side: "It's enough for Madam to hug you, don't need to hug her, just be careful."

"It's okay, I still have some strength." Chen Fan smiled, kissed his son again, and sat down.

The twins chatted with Zhang Ci twitteringly, while the youngest son was quieter, pulling his hair accessories, patting his clothes, and pinching his face.Mother Xu looked at it cheerfully: "Young master, what's the difference today, mother?"

"Fat." The younger son said something.

Chen Fan was amused by her: "Where is the fat?"

The youngest son touched her face: "Fat."

"Is mother in her belly a little brother or a little sister?" Madam Xu has asked this question several times.

"Brother." Xiaowa's answer was still the same as before.

Zhang Ci no longer corrects him, pretending not to hear.

"If my younger brother looks a little like Xiao'er, he can be like twins." Chen Fan thinks it's good for this child to be a son, and he can always be with Xiao'er.With the twins inseparable and two years older than him, he seemed a little different.

"Then I have to give birth to a daughter. The four brothers dote on the younger sister to heaven." Zhang Ci reversed his statement that he only had three children.

"The soldiers should have arrived in the melon fields, right?" Chen Fan asked.

"Almost." There were people wandering around the watermelon field every now and then, asking questions, taking a sheep by the hand, and the guards such as Feng He were busy fighting every day.Chang Shi sent a team of soldiers to protect it today.

The governor's mansion's plan to open a river and build a dam was finally confirmed after several discussions and surveys.After the rape and wheat were harvested, Sima and Chang Shi were in charge, mobilizing tens of thousands of laborers to carry out construction in Linya County first to connect the river.

The Liu family came back, and the goods they brought sold well.

Officials feel strange: sell cotton-padded quilts in summer?
Master Liu Er said: "It is expensive in winter, and many people are not willing to give it up. Now that the price is cheaper, they will buy it."

Gong Cao frowned: "Chunzhou doesn't grow much cotton, and we don't have enough supply. Every year, many people buy it from foreign merchants."

Chen Fan didn't ask why he didn't grow more varieties, it was just that the varieties were not good and the income was small and he didn't want to grow them.

Master Liu Er said: "Next year, we can start this business with a little more variety. Changping Township and Yuanfeng County plant tens of thousands of mu of cotton every year. If we don't grow wheat, we must also grow cotton."

"So these two places are rich, and the cotton business has been very profitable in recent years." Bing Cao was stimulated to work.

Jingzhou doesn't grow much cotton. They grow more rapeseed and sesame, and the oil business makes them very rich.

Master Liu Er said to Chen Fan: "Cotton cloth is very popular, and they don't know how to use cotton to weave."

The officials in Chunzhou glanced at each other, and they were stimulated again. The textile industry in Chunzhou is not very developed.

Zhang Ci said: "I'll draw some pictures for you, you can find a carpenter to make them, and then let the Liu family sell them elsewhere."

The officials were refreshed.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Fan took the officials to Guadai.The scene presented by the hillside was more spectacular than that of the flat land. Everyone looked at a large green melon field, with expressions like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.It's just that they are all old foxes in the officialdom, and they didn't shout there.

Shen Zhuang headed over to greet everyone.After saluting and asking, Shen Zhuangtou said: "Guards, you can pick a melon with your own hands and see if it is ripe."

The old foxes are eager to try.

Shen Zhuangtou pushed aside the straw, and explained to everyone the essentials of looking at the pattern plate to see the pedicle of the melon, and patting the melon to listen to the sound.Then I picked a melon and cut it open with a knife. The bright red and juicy flesh appeared in front of everyone, and some melon seeds were already very dark in color.The officials couldn't help but groaned.

A group of old men bent over and pouted their buttocks, pushed aside the straw, took a few shots of this, and a few shots of that.

After choosing, I can't wait to cut it with a knife. Those who pick ripe melons laugh, and those who pick raw melons have rich expressions.Shen Zhuangtou told them again, and some people chose again.

The officials ate watermelons and asked about the profit sharing of selling melons.

Chen Fan said: "There are [-] acres of watermelon here, and melon farmers account for [-]%, [-] acres; [-] acres belong to the state government finance; [-] acres belong to you."

Some people were dissatisfied: "Isn't the melon farmers [-]% too much? They can get a lot of money for such an expensive watermelon."

Chen Fan said: "Watermelons are difficult to grow, and they should get [-]% of them. Without them to grow watermelons, Chunzhou's watermelons would not grow so well."

The officials were silent, as if they were thinking about how to divide the nine acres of watermelons and how to sell them.

Chen Fan said: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and I'm on-the-job and editing. Each person gets ten watermelons, picked from the melon fields in the state capital. The handymen each have two. This is a welfare, and the welfare is distributed uniformly."

After lunch, the officials went to the field to study the nine acres of melon fields.

Chen Fan sighed secretly, why was it so troublesome to grow watermelons in the past?Now they have to set aside nine acres for their own tossing, it is to win over, but also to make them internal friction.

Chen Fan said to Sima: "Master Li, please register your respective areas and locations."

Li Weizhi responded with a smile: "When the scope is divided, we will draw lots."

The melon farmers picked a batch of melons, and Zhang Ci took the guards to distribute benefits to the soldiers.

The melons are all neatly arranged. Even if the number of acres cannot be divided equally, they can still count and divide each person into several rows.This group of old men are quite serious in their work, small sticks, ribbons, clearly marked.

With such a score, it is estimated that every family will send guards to guard the melon fields.
