Although the palace is desolate and old, it is very large and the construction inside is also unique. No matter how favored the King of Liang was back then, he was still a prince, so the palace has all the specifications it should have, with a pond, a pavilion, and a courtyard. If you look around carefully, you will find surprises everywhere.

It's just... too big.

Because it's big, it can be very troublesome to clean, so Yang Haiyan is still very satisfied. Aunt Yu is naturally busy with such a large place. But there are also benefits. The palace has a special courtyard for servants, which they built by themselves. When they were at the border, it was actually a bit reluctant to cut out an area in Qianfu's house as a courtyard for servants.

County Magistrate Yang said that the palace... the general's palace was not carefully repaired, but only roughly repaired, such as leaking places and places overgrown with grass. However, the palace is so big that even simple repairs will take a long time.

After we toured the palace, half an hour had passed.

Yang Haiyan thought: This palace is very large, and there are many places that can be used. Someday, those places that are not needed can be turned into vegetable gardens and orchards, and I am afraid that they can be turned into one or two acres of land. Of course, it is still necessary to keep the garden. With the conditions, leisure and leisure will naturally be indispensable. Of course, where did the fun of life in ancient times come from?

Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan asked Magistrate Yang: "Sir Yang, can we make some changes to this palace after we move in? For example, we want to demolish some places, rebuild some places, etc." After all, it was once a palace, and Yang Haiyan dared not move it at will.

Magistrate Yang said: "Of course, the court has made this place a general's mansion, so you have this right. What places does Madam Qin want to make changes to? If you need manpower, just come to the county government office to call for help." Labor is a yamen runner.

Yang Haiyan said, "Thank you, Lord Yang, but we still need them for now. You have two hundred soldiers under you, which should be enough."

After Yang Haiyan said this, County Magistrate Yang did not say much. It was almost time for dinner, so he changed the subject: "When I left just now, I had asked my wife to prepare food. It's almost time now. Please invite Madam Qin to have dinner."

Yang Haiyan did not agree. She smiled and said, "Those people outside the city have just moved here. I guess there are still many things to do. Let's forget about it today. When the general comes back another day, my husband and I will send a letter to invite Lord Yang and his wife to come to our house for a chat."

Seeing this, County Magistrate Yang joked, "Then my husband and I are waiting."

The group left the general's mansion, County Magistrate Yang took his people back, and Yang Haiyan also went outside the city to see those surrendered barbarians.

After returning to the county government office, Mrs. Yang looked behind Magistrate Yang and asked, "Isn't the general's wife here?"

Madam Yang said, "If she didn't come, she naturally won't come." In fact, when he invited her, he knew that Yang Haiyan would not come, and he was just inviting her politely. After all, people who follow the rules will not come. General Qin is here, and it would be unruly for Mrs. Qin to come alone. Mrs. Qin came from the Taifu Mansion and knows the rules better than anyone else.

Mrs. Yang: "Then I'll go over and see if there's any need for me there." Mrs. Yang married Magistrate Yang when he was still a child of a famous family. At that time, Taifu Yang was very powerful, and the Yang family was a famous family. Even if Magistrate Yang was out of the fifth mourning period, he was still a child of the Yang family. The wife chosen from his family was naturally selected. Therefore, Mrs. Yang is also the eldest daughter of an official. Even if she does not have the power of the Yang family, her parents' teachings are good. Such people all pay attention to rules.

County Magistrate Yang said: "That's great. General Qin is here, I will go there properly, and you will just be suitable."

Mrs. Yang also meant this: "What is the character of the general's wife? Is she generous?" She also knew Yang Haiyan's background. The big maid next to Miss Yang was afraid that she still had the habits of a maid, and she needed to be too accommodating to get along with her. It was true that she looked up to the maid, but the other one was a maid, and she was a lady from an official family. She always felt sour when she had to accommodate the other person too much. But she also understood that women follow their fathers at home and follow their husbands after marriage. Husband and wife are one, and General Qin's rank is higher than her husband, so she has no choice but to accommodate him.

This woman, when there is a time, she must accept her fate.

County Magistrate Yang said, "You will know when you go there." It is not gentlemanly to comment on other people's wives.

After being married for so many years, Mrs. Yang naturally knew what he meant and understood his character. Hearing him speak so easily, she knew that the general's wife must be a difficult person to get along with. If the other party is difficult to get along with, the husband will definitely say that you should be careful.

Between husband and wife, there is no need to say too clearly. If you understand, you will understand.

The tent outside the county town was only half built, and everyone was eating in full swing. It was already early April, and the weather was completely warm. Today's meal was better than every day in the past month, because it was right at the gate of the county town, and it was convenient to buy.

Today, everyone's staple food was sweet potatoes and potatoes, but everyone had a bowl of bone cabbage, even if they bought it with their own money, everyone ate happily.

After dinner, everyone continued to work. Yang Haiyan brought the servants, private guards, their families, and Niu Da's family back to the general's mansion. Along with them, the furniture brought from the border was also returned. Fortunately, all the furniture was brought with them and could be used at any time. However, the empty general's mansion still needed to purchase these things.

When we arrived at the General's Mansion, because it was built according to the rules, each area was clearly divided. The private guards and their families were in the same courtyard as the servants. Yang Haiyan asked Niu Da's family to live there.

Although they are all in the same courtyard, each household is independent. Many ancient aristocratic families were sons of the master, and several members of the family lived in the master's house. Therefore, the lower house needs such an independent small house. The courtyard, although both men and women live here, has a good influence.

The first thing everyone cleaned was the courtyard. After the courtyard was cleaned, they moved the master's furniture into the wing. The next thing they cleaned was the kitchen. The kitchen is the so-called ‌ of the ‌.

There are two kitchens here, one is the small kitchen in the courtyard, and the other is the large kitchen in the mansion.

While everyone was cleaning, Yang Haiyan was not idle either. She took Niu Da to start planning the General's Mansion, and planned to demolish all the necessary places in her eyes: "Here...here...and there, change them all into Guolin." , Do you see it? "There is a small river next to it, where you can row boats. There is also a pavilion here, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire General's Mansion from the pavilion. ‌ Yang Haiyan thinks it would be good to turn this area into a fruit forest plus a leisure resort. Then dig out a hot spring, that would be even better.

After observing the soil here, Niu Da said: "It is difficult to plant trees here. Although apple trees and pear trees have soil requirements, they grow well." Moreover, this was once a royal palace, so the natural choice was geology. Good place.

Yang Haiyan felt relieved when she heard what Niu Da said: "Then you can go back after two days of rest and transplant the apple and pear trees. Then hire an escort directly. If you work quickly, you can get here in ten days. Ten days. If so, will those fruit trees die?"

This Niu Da promised: "The weather is hot now, sprinkle some water on the road properly, and it will die." Moreover, the fruit trees that have been planted for a year are very tenacious.

In this way, Yang Haiyan felt relieved: "Everything here has been turned into an orchard. Apples, pears, and future watermelons will all be planted here. A few parts of the side yard will also be demolished and turned into a vegetable garden. By the way, when you come back, We have to go to the countryside to buy some more land. "Our family is rich now, and Qin Fang's reward is five thousand taels of silver. "Buy some military camp land."

Niu Da heard this for the first time: "Military camp land?"

Yang Haiyan said: "My general said that there are one thousand soldiers guarding the city, but the ones brought from the border are only two hundred. Even if the barbarian's three hundred are included, there are only five hundred. So there are still five hundred people to go." If you choose here, a thousand soldiers will naturally need food and drink."* So she had to prepare. The current fifteen thousand taels of silver is a large sum of money. As far as the current soldiers are concerned, it is all spent. Instead of this, we can use it to buy land for planting, so that the soldiers will at least have food to worry about. Then we raise poultry, so we can eat some meat and eggs.

Moreover, the money will be spent, but the land will be. Moreover, the poultry breeds and the meat is eaten up.

Yang Haiyan had a plan in mind. Although this man was a soldier guarding the city, he was also a soldier of Qin Fang. She always hoped for the best.

After hearing Yang Haiyan's words, Niu Da was moved in his heart: "Madam, are there any conditions for the general to select soldiers?"

Yang Haiyan is also a fool. After listening to Niu Da's words, she also understood: "You ask, what is this?"

Niu Da confessed: "Madam, do you think my two sons can sign up?"

Yang Haiyan also anticipated her thoughts and said: "Of course." If Niu Da's son enters the military camp, then Niu Da's family will be more loyal to them, and she will not have to worry about Niu Da returning to his hometown. "Your son can give it a try, but I can guarantee that he will pass. If you do, hope always goes to those who work hard."

Niu Daodao: "Yes." If his son can follow the general, it will be much better than farming.

"Madam...Mrs...." Aunt Yu ran over panting. Judging from her appearance, she had been looking for Yang Haiyan for a long time. Seeing Yang Haiyan, she bowed and said, "Madam, County Magistrate Yang's wife is here."

Yang Haiyan was surprised: "Please."

Since the general's mansion was being cleaned, there was no suitable place to entertain guests. When Mrs. Yang came to the door, Aunt Yu invited her to sit in the hall for a while. Speaking of which, even the tea for the guests was not provided. No.

"We are a distinguished guest. Please bear with me if I have any inconveniences." Yang Haiyan said as she walked into the hall.

Mrs. Yang stood up and looked at the woman who came in against the light. She was extremely young and very beautiful.
