Chapter 98 Asking for a Room with You
Chen Fan sat on the stool blankly, holding his chin, Zhang Ci had been away for more than ten minutes.

As soon as she thought about it, Zhang Ci took a step back, distanced herself from her, and straightened her clothes.

"You rest for a while, I'll go out first." He opened the door and left.

Chen Fan looked out the window, Qin Zheng was still there.She sat for a while longer, and went out with her full appearance.

It was still raining outside, which vividly interpreted the atmosphere of the Huangmei season.Chen Fan was standing in the corridor, and Qin Zheng came to talk to her.

"The seedlings from that batch of rice are very good. When the land at Qijiadu is ready, they can be transplanted."

Chen Fan nodded.She gave Guo Zhangci a batch of rice seeds, which were soaked in the space to germinate.Rice seedlings are used in the terraced fields here, but where did the seedlings come from?There has to be somewhere to implement it.

The people in Zhangci Zhuangzi are all his confidantes, and it doesn't matter how many days the seedlings grow. The land in Yema Mountain is in full view, and the growth time is not easy to fool.

When the seedlings are planted, the sky will clear up.The greenery all over the mountains exudes vitality.

Many people came to visit, and the Yema Mountain Terraced Fields became a tourist attraction.

Grass and vegetable seeds have been planted, and a toilet has been built at the edge of the field.Chen Fan asked Du Lizheng to do a simple beam-raising ceremony, discussed the remaining matters with him, left the wages, and left Yema Mountain with Zhang Ci and the others to Qijiadu.

In nine days, the land has been plowed and raked, the ridges have been built according to the specifications of five mu each, and the rice fields have been filled with water.The two bridges on the river are very beautiful, and some people are walking back and forth just to walk on the new bridge.

A few houses were also built for the employees on both sides. Zhang Ci found a group of people from somewhere, old and disabled, who lived in the house and were busy with the field work.

The initial investment was seriously overrun.

The amount of work involved in digging rivers and reclaiming land was huge, and a lot of labor was paid to build terraced fields, and houses and bridges were also built.Chen Fan took out some small silver ingots to exchange for copper plates, which was enough to cover the huge expenditure.

The next day was bright, and the villagers gathered beside the river embankment. Today, the embankment will be officially opened to divert the river.

A shovel after a shovel of soil was dug away, and a large amount of river water gushed through the gap in the embankment and flowed into the dug ditch.When the river calmed down, part of the embankment was dug again. Repeatedly, the section of embankment connecting the Xinhe River was completely dug out, and the water level of the Qingxi River was equal to that of the Xinhe River.

One by one, sacks filled with rocks and sand were thrown into the river, cutting off the water flow. The villagers went down to the river to clean up the river mud, built high embankments that were heavily flooded, and carried the excavated river mud into the empty fields.

After this treatment, the flood problem in the Qingxi River section should be completely resolved, and the land will become more fertile.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci provided today's lunch, including vegetables and meat.She didn't care about the situation in Kaiyun Village. At Qijiadu, everyone happily ate a long-lost hearty meal.

Zhang Ci arranged for people to bring the rice seedlings here one after another, and the villagers, old, young and old, joined the battle and began to plant the rice seedlings.

After another five days of busy work, the seedlings were transplanted, and the forage, vegetables and herbs were all planted.

Chen Fan is going back to Yuanfeng County.She has been out for 20 days this trip, and the house over there is almost ready for beams.

Chen Fan sat in the carriage, feeling very good.She is busy with two major projects.

Zhang Ci looked at her with a smile, but she didn't hide, just stared at him.

Except for a hug when they were depressed that day, they continued to keep their distance and no longer had any intimacy.Chen Fan was embarrassed for two days, and it became natural to get along with each other.

"When you return to Liu's house, I will visit you." Zhang Ci said.

"why?"

"Go to Liu Huaijin and discuss knowledge with him."

"Don't make him cry."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Can he still cry? The Liu family is currently the only one who has hope for the imperial examination. What should he do if he cries?"

"The exam will be in three years, will he be in time this time?" Chen Fan was a little worried.Thirty young Jinshi, Liu Huaijin was only 19 years old three years later.He is neither a genius nor has a family background, so what are his chances of success?
"The Liu family must produce a Jinshi as soon as possible." Zhang Ci said seriously.

"Aren't you going to see me when you come to Liu's house?" Chen Fan looked at him.

Zhang Ci smiled again: "Don't look at it." Chen Fan snorted and turned his head away.

"There are a lot of houses built over your field, how about I ask you to live in a house?"

Chen Fan didn't react.Zhang Ci said it again.

It's not that she doesn't want to, she just doesn't understand.

"Do your chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep need someone to guard them?" Zhang Ci said.

"Let your maids and guards do those things? It's a waste of talents." Chen Fan still felt that he missed the point.

"Wangjiadun is very convenient to go to other places in Yuanfeng County. I want to have a place to stay. There is a time limit for entering and leaving the county, and inspections are required. It is too inconvenient. The pasture on your side is also convenient for raising horses."

After being silent for a while, he said again: "It's convenient when I want to see you."

Her face was so hot, her ears were so hot, and she even felt that her neck was also a little hot.Chen Fan didn't speak, but looked away.

Well worthless, she still can't keep looking at him in this state.

"Don't you look at me?" Zhang Ci's voice approached.

"Don't look." Her voice was like a mosquito.

Zhang Ci chuckled.

Near noon, the carriage arrived at Wangjiadun.

There was still an endless stream of people under the flower corridor. More than 20 days passed, and the flowers bloomed more brilliantly.The seedlings in the field have grown very strong, especially the eyebright, which is very lush.

"This grass grows very lush, will it be harvested soon?" Qing Ji pointed to a kind of grass curiously.

"Yes. This is called eyebright. It grows very fast and can be harvested within a month. Eyebright is waterlog-resistant, so you don't have to worry about it during the rainy season. It is also very suitable for fish farming." Chen Fan said.

"These two kinds of grasses have also grown very tall." This time Qingji was referring to the Mexican corngrass and sweet sorghum, both of which had grown very tall.

She pointed to the corngrass: "Yes, this kind of grass likes heat and high temperature. The higher the temperature in summer, the better it will grow. Now that there is more rain, it will grow especially well."

She pointed to the tall dan grass again: "This kind of grass is especially suitable for raising cattle and sheep in summer."

"We will help you raise cattle and sheep. You can raise them when you move in." Zhang Ci looked at her.

Qing Ji opened his eyes wide, Qin Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, and lowered his head.

The seeds soaked in the stream of the space are full of vitality. Chen Fan and the others turned around and found that the seedlings are so strong and energetic.

"I didn't expect the grass to grow so well on the saline-alkali land." Qing Ji sighed.Mo Jian stayed in Kaiyun Village and didn't follow, otherwise he would definitely yell.

"Some plants are resistant to salt and alkali. This land has experienced so many rains, and there is almost no salt. Add more soil, and the fertility has kept up." Chen Fan said.

The walls of the house have been laid, and the workers are busy with other related work.Wang Daliang and Zhang Xiaolou ran over when they saw Chen Fan.

"Miss Chen is back?" They greeted warmly.

Chen Fan chatted with them, and introduced the two of them and Zhang Ci to each other.

"You came back just in time, the house can be erected. Please arrange a time." Wang Daliang said.

Chen Fan nodded.
