The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Xu Youran recuperated in Xinghua Village for ten days, and then moved to her own villa next door to Xinghua Village. Xu's Villa is actually better than Xinghua Village.When Xu Youran was building the Xu Family Village, Xu Youran spent a lot of money, whether it was the landscape or the building, it had to be more refined and perfect.

However, Xinghua Village is very different from Xujiazhuang.That is, Xinghua Village has three major areas: farmland, orchard, lotus pond, main house, guest courtyard; resort.And Xujiazhuang is also divided into three parts: main house, guest courtyard; leisure places (including basketball court, football field, racetrack, fitness field, etc.) and guest courtyard; farmland and lotus pond.The farmland is only a small part, only a few acres of vegetables and fruits are planted, and some lotus roots and aquatic vegetables are planted in the lotus pond.

In a word: Xinghua Village is mainly for profit, and Xujiazhuang is mainly for leisure and vacation, so there is an essential difference.On the other side of Xinghua Village, Taijiazhuang is mainly residential, and has planted crops, vegetables, fruits and vegetables for their own needs, and also has a large lotus pond.

Just a year ago, the Qin family also bought about [-] acres of land about ten miles away from Xinghua Village, and built the Qin Family Village.Even several soldiers under Shen Jie and Xu Youran's friends bought the fields and forests near Xinghua Village at a high price half a year ago, and built farms or villas here.

Now, within a radius of fifty miles, it seems to be the sphere of influence of Xu Youran, Shen Jie, Tai Zhixing, and Yan Wushuang.More than a dozen families live next to each other, and they communicate very closely, and their lives are more comfortable than ever.

Under Xing'er's suggestion, a large road was built around the fifty miles, which can accommodate two large carriages at the same time.The main road is paved with fine stones and sand, tall and beautiful trees are planted on both sides of the road, and new-style huts are built every five miles for the use of passers-by to ensure environmental hygiene.

Every ten miles, there is an outpost with two courtyards, and each outpost is stationed with ten guards.These nursing homes were mainly dispatched by the Xu family, the Shen family, the Chai family and the Yan family, and they were responsible for patrolling both sides of the main road to maintain law and order within ten miles.Once a major event occurs, such as a large group of robbers and bandits, or a fire, the nursing homes within a radius of fifty miles will gather together and work together to fight against the bandits and fight the fire.

On this day, Master Tai's family came back from a banquet at Qin's Village, and it was already the top of willows on the moon.However, the family still drove the carriage slowly, not in a hurry or panic.There was a classmate of Mr. Tai who was traveling with him. When he passed a small mountain, he looked at the dark forest and couldn't help being frightened.

"Zhixing, let's go faster! The night is so quiet, it's scary!"

Tai Zhixing smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, there are mobile sentries in this area, and the identities of those guards are very good. The general bandits are all extinct in this area, and the people with a radius of fifty miles are almost on the road. to the point of!"

"Really? Well, I'm going to find a way to buy a farm near here, and I can live there during the holidays! I can also take my parents from my hometown and place them in the farm, and grow some vegetables and fruits myself." , raise some fish, just my little salary is enough!"

Mrs. Tai nodded, and smiled in agreement: "Yes, you can consider it! Nowadays, houses in the capital are much more expensive, and ordinary second-entry houses cost nearly 2000 taels of silver. Vegetables and fruits have also increased. It’s a lot of money, and it’s really expensive to buy a house and live in the capital! It’s better to buy a farm near here and make the house more comfortable, it’s better than anything else!”

The son's classmate was Luo Yuan, a minor official of the sixth grade in the Hanlin Academy, and his annual salary was only about 150 taels of silver.He came from a small family with a poor family background, and he was the eldest in the family, with a younger brother and younger sister.It is indeed very difficult to settle down in the capital.

"Why don't I help you find out who else wants to sell their land?" Mrs. Tai added enthusiastically.

"Thank you so much, we have Aunt Lao!" Luo Yuan couldn't wish more, and hurriedly bowed his hands respectfully, with a happy expression on his face.

Although the price of this field with a radius of fifty miles is not very expensive, it is [-] to [-]% higher than the market price in other places.However, this is not something that can be bought with money. The key is to have connections and guarantors.Otherwise, even if you bought a field in this place, if it is not accepted by the surrounding neighbors, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this place.It won't be long before I can't stand the neglect of my neighbors, and I will move out in a hurry and disheartened.

Within a few days, Mrs. Tai helped Luo Yuan buy fifteen acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry land next to the paddy fields, less than two miles away, near Qinjiazhuang.The dry land can just be used to build a house, which is very cost-effective. Luo Yuan is very satisfied, and specially bought a gift to thank Mrs. Tai.

Families like Luo Yuan moved in more than a dozen households, and within a short period of time, there were as many as thirty households within a radius of fifty miles.Several larger farms, each divided a small part, and "sold for friendship" to relatives and friends, or relatives and friends of relatives and friends.

With the increase of residents and the number of nursing homes, many potential safety hazards in this area have been eliminated. "Do not close the door at night, do not pick up lost things on the road", the good atmosphere of good neighborliness, friendship, mutual help and mutual respect has become stronger and stronger!

Xing'er remodeled the idyllic farm under her own name, pushed the house to a heavy building, and no longer raised poultry and livestock.The overall planning and layout refer to the layout of Tao Ranju, and a three-entry mansion was built.For the purpose of leisure and recuperation, there is a tree-lined road around the farm in the front garden and the back garden. There is an artificial stream on the side of the road. On both sides of the stream, there are luxuriant grass and flowers.

Elegant and quiet, it is better than the living environment in Xinghua Village.

After the transformation, the pastoral farm was renamed "Tao Ranju", following the name of the family in Kaoshantun.Xing'er and Shen Jie moved into Tao Ranju, completely away from the prosperity of the capital and the fierce struggle between the government and the opposition. 13acv.

The situation in the court was turbulent, Xing'er asked Chai An to suspend school temporarily, and moved into Xinghua Village with Tao'er's family.Shen Han's younger siblings also lived in Tao Ranju together.

However, what should I do about Chai An's going to school?It's not a problem for a 15-year-old boy to do nothing all day long!

Xing'er couldn't help being a little worried, and during the chat, she mentioned something to Shen Jie: "Oh, it would be great if we could invite a great Confucian with both talents and virtues, who is both enlightened and good at guiding, to teach An'er!"

Shen Jie comforted: "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me! I thought about it, why don't we just find two more teachers, and let's run a small private school by ourselves. The children from the nearby people Gather them all together and let them go to school together, so that they will be more motivated to study!"

He did what he said, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Jie really found three wives.One of them used to be the head of the Hanshan Academy, one was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the other was a two-ranked Jinshi five years ago.He has already negotiated with the three of them, and the class will start in a month.

"Are you so big? Especially the head of the mountain, it is said that he used to be the emperor's teacher! Can we invite him to sit in this small private school for a long time?" Xing'er expressed concern.You know, most of the great Confucians these days are rigid and pedantic.

Shen Jie's eyes flashed, with a little pride on his face: "You don't know that, do you? This mountain chief is called Huang Lian, and he is actually only 45 years old this year. From his name, you can imagine that this must come from poverty. His son. Thirty years ago, when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he encountered robbers. His father just passed by and rescued him. When I was young, I went to the palace to be the companion of the emperor. my mentor!"

"Oh, so there is such a karma, so it's no wonder!" Xing'er nodded clearly. Although Shen Jie didn't say anything, she could guess that with Shen Jie's wisdom and personality, Huang Lian must also be interested in him. Very good impression.Maybe, it's still a year-end friendship!

Shen Jie discussed with Xing'er: "Xing'er, where will the private school be opened? Will it be opened in Taoranju, or should we buy another piece of land to build it?"

Xing'er had already thought about it, so she said in a discussing tone: "How about buying Mushroom Ridge and building a school for it?"

Shen Jie thought for a while, then nodded: "It's okay, anyway, there is no better school nearby. Children from these thirty-odd families, as well as children from several nearby villages, after passing the examination of scholar, will The only option is to go to the capital to study. The children of poor families have no money and cannot afford to go to the academy in the capital, so they have to learn by themselves!"

Self-taught, where is it so easy?If there are three or two out of a hundred poor children, that's not bad.

Xing'er nodded, and the two agreed to build an academy in Mushroom Ridge to recruit students from three to twenty years old.Shen Jie paid out money to buy Mushroom Ridge, quickly recruited a construction team to build houses, and recruited hundreds of tenant farmers to plant trees and forests, dug artificial streams, and brought in clear spring water from the mountains.

Those trees, flowers and plants are all transplanted in their entirety, and have been cared for by professionals since they were planted.In less than half a month, Mushroom Ridge, which was a bit bare at first, changed its appearance, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and green everywhere.

The academy occupies a vast area, all green brick and tile houses, cobblestone-paved paths, five courtyards connecting the academy, ten large classrooms, thirty student dormitories, twenty classroom dormitories, a library, two canteens, A recreation room.As well as warehouses, mills, flower beds, vegetable fields, orchards, crop fields, etc.
