farming female castellan

Chapter 83
Qi Li honestly praised the Liu family: "The Liu family in Yuanfeng County is well-known far and wide, and this time it is a big deal to buy this thousand-acre barren beach. This land can finally produce grain again."

Chen Fan smiled: "Yangma Mountain has also been bought and is going to build terraced fields."

Qi Lizheng opened his eyes wide: "Terraces? Girls can build terraces?"

"It's not me, it's Yao Zhu of the county government. He is in charge of surveying, designing, and leading people to build it." Chen Fan said.

"Master Yao," Li Zheng suddenly realized, "he is a Jinshi. He is from Xuanzhou, from Xuanhe County. There are also many Jinshi from Xuanhe County, not less than your Yuanfeng County."

"I heard that there are quite a lot of Jinshi in Xuanzhou, Chongzhou, Jingzhou, Gyeongju."

"That's right, if people in Shengping County want to do well in the exam, they have to go to the academies in those states. The academies in Pingzhou are not very troublesome."

"Are there many people studying in Qijiadu?"

Li Zhengzheng shook his head: "Not many, there are a few people who have studied in school for a year and learned some characters, then came back and couldn't continue to study. This place is poor. It's on the edge of Shengping County, and the government doesn't pay much attention to it. Fields It's either drought or flood, haven't you gotten over it this year?"

"Can't the embankment over there be repaired?" Chen Fan was a little tactful.

"It can't be repaired well, and a lot of soil has slowly seeped into the river, and there is more and more silt in the river."

"I'm going to dig a river in the barren beach, please help me find some people? The more the better."

Li Zheng looked at her in surprise, but didn't ask why, only how much she paid.

"According to the wages in Shengping County, each person is 200 yuan per day, including food. If there are [-] strong laborers, it will take five days to dig. For [-] people, it will only take two and a half days, and the food will be paid."

"If there are 200 people, I can help you find them. Will the wages be paid in cash every day?"

"Pay in cash every day. When the river is opened, you don't have to worry about flooding, and you can store water."

"In the past, the embankment was reinforced. Why did you open the river?"

Chen Fan smiled: "The way of doing things is different." This section of the river has different heights, widths and widths.Digging rivers and drainage is not only to solve the flood problem, but also to facilitate irrigation.

She went to the carriage and took a piece of silk to Lizheng: "Please Lizheng, please worry about it. Anyone who knows how to build bridges, please help me find it."

Li Zheng twitched his lips, but accepted it without refusing.

"In addition, please help me find more twigs, quicklime, and draw lines for marking."

"Okay, I'll help you find it. Do you want to see the auspicious time tomorrow?"

"Yes, as early as possible." Kaihe is a big project.

Li was looking for materials, and Chen Fan walked out of the yard to look at the surrounding scene.

Who is that on the other side of the embankment in the distance?Why does it look like Zhang Ci?
Chen Fan jumped into the carriage, raised the whip and pulled the rein, and drove towards the embankment.

It's him!Why is he here?There is a guard next to him who I have never seen before, is that ink note?

"Young master, Miss Chen is here." Mo Jian reminded in a low voice.Zhang Ci turned his head and saw her getting closer in the carriage, and squeezed his fingers.

Chen Fan stopped the carriage, and before he got out of the carriage, Mo Jian called out: "Miss Chen, I'm Mo Jian." Qin Zheng and Qing Ji also greeted her: "I've seen the girl."

Chen Fan got out of the car to return the gift, Zhang Ci had already walked in front of her.

"What a coincidence, you guys also came to see the river?" Chen Fan looked at the paper and charcoal pen in Mo Jian's hand.

Zhang Ci smiled: "We still need to check the hydrological situation."

Seeing that the river is going to dispatch four people?
Mo Jian handed the paper to her, and she took it, with many patterns drawn on it.It was still the same Qingxi River, from Yuanfeng County all the way to here, but the section she walked before was east-west, and this section has turned to north-south.

"This is your land? Is there a lot of waterlogging?" Zhang Ci asked softly.

"This is a large area, covering 1100 mu. The width is not very wide, only more than 100 feet. The flood should not be severe, and it didn't go far."

"Such a section of river flooded more than 1000 mu of land, which is not small." Mo Jian spoke quickly.

Zhang Ci didn't look at him, and asked Chen Fan, "How do you plan to fix it?"

"How about we all draw it?" She wanted to see if there was any inspiration for Zhang Ci's train of thought.

"Okay." Zhang Ci stretched out his hand, Mo Jian handed him the pen and paper, Qin Zheng also took out the pen and paper from his waist pocket, and handed it to Chen Fan.

The two quickly completed the drawing and looked at the paper together.The idea is the same, and they all open another river to divert the flow.

"Coincidence." Zhang Ci smiled slightly.

"There is a heart-to-heart connection." This is what Mo Jian said.

Chen Fan lowered his eyes, pretending he didn't hear it.Zhang Ci looked at her, seeing that she didn't care, felt a little disappointed.

"Your arc is more reasonable than mine, so let's follow your arc." Chen Fan said.

"Let me measure and draw the line with you."

"Okay, Lizheng should have prepared the materials."

Zhang Ci got on his horse, Chen Fan rode that Xun Feng, and the two arrived at Li Zheng's house.

Li Zheng had already prepared all the materials, and when he saw Zhang Ci, he was stunned.

"I have met you." Zhang Ci saluted him and said hello.

"I've met you, Young Master." Li Zheng bowed deeply.Chen Fan looked a little puzzled.

"Young master has an extraordinary bearing, which makes Qi radiant. If you have anything to do, you can tell the young master and the girl, and our Qijiadu will rely on the support of the two." Li Zheng straightened his waist, but still maintained the posture of leaning forward and bowing his head. .

"My lord, you are welcome. This is the property of the Liu family. You can rest assured to do things with the Liu family. It is a blessing for the villagers to have an adult in Qijiadu who is so dedicated to everyone. If you follow Miss Chen and do well, life will definitely be better. The better."

"What the young master said is true. Everyone will do well. This measurement thing——"

"We have enough manpower, just ask your lord to arrange the staff well."

Li Zheng responded repeatedly.

The two rode to a certain river bank, and Mo Jian and the others also rushed over.

"You take a break, and I will be in charge here with Mojian Qingji." They walked up and down the embankment, determined the location of the river embankment, and marked it clearly with small sticks, hemp rope and lime lines.

The embankment bends for tens of meters, then straightens slowly, traversing the barren beach.

The straight line part in the back is simple, just use a small stick to mark it. Chen Fan took over the work of the ink paper, and Zhang Ci and the others pulled the rope and inserted the small stick.

"Let's go to the other side of the river and have a look, it's also a barren beach over there." Zhang Ci said.

Qin Zheng and Mo Jian went with them, and Qing Ji stayed behind.

The four of them drove a long way before they found a bridge.

"This side belongs to Guangyun County in Xizhou. When your drainage canal is opened, the flood problem here will also be solved. If the price is good, I'm going to buy it, and both sides will be treated at the same time."

"Guangyun County? The husband of Liu Huaizhen, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, seems to be the magistrate of Guangyun County." Chen Fan remembered.

"Really? If you have time someday, you can visit Guangyun County."
