Reciprocity is originally a long tradition of the Chinese people. It embodies the intimate feelings between Chinese clansman and people and is full of human touch.

But it is precisely because of too much emphasis on courtesy and exchanges, too much emphasis on emotional contact, resulting in this excellent traditional culture, some people with ulterior motives to use, so that it becomes a hotbed of corruption.

Countless subordinates, under the banner of courtesy, exchanged bribes with the leaders publicly or secretly. In order to prevent isolation, colleagues also had to interact with each other, thus exhausting their financial resources.

Many poor 100 surnames in later generations had to sell food in their homes in exchange for a pitiful gift because of the huge pressure on the reciprocity.

The excellent historical tradition has gradually become a heavy burden on the 100 surnames. I do n’t know how I feel about the understood of the Great Saint who lay for 2000 years.

But once all this is formed, it cannot be reversed. No individual has the power to reverse, and Li An is naturally no exception. Therefore, it can only follow the trend of development.

This is in line with the famous saying, life is a strong hug, if you can’t resist, then enjoy it with your eyes closed! Yes, enjoy it!

There was a heavy snowfall on New Year’s Eve, which covered the entire Chang’an City in a fairy tale World, and the next few days were sunny days. The warm sunlight melted the snow a little bit, and there were some remaining accumulations in addition to the shady side Outside the snow, most of the snow has melted.

Li An ’s clerk is General Right Dragon Martial Army, and he has a specific job, but the Imperial Court worked hard for Li An to calm down and deliberately gave Li An a month ’s leave. There was nothing to do until the beginning of February. .

In these days when there is nothing to do, Li An will of course not be idle. Jiao Didi ’s Yan Ruyu has married and returned home, and the hard work of making baby is absolutely unstoppable.

In addition, dozens of artisans have entered the city to find work after the year, and Li An continued to hire them. In addition to creating rocking chairs, Li An thought of several practical tools and let several skilled artisans develop.

However, with the gradual increase of products, some of them can not be put down at home, which is not a small problem. In addition, there are many plans for Li An, and the small space of the mansion is obviously unsatisfactory.

“Master, the mansion is too crowded to continue to build a rocking chair in the mansion, or you can’t really put it down.”

Sixth Zhao looked at the wood and various materials in the yard, and was very troubled. The wood and debris of the other party were everywhere, and the mansion looked very chaotic and not upscale.

Of course, Li An has long been aware of this problem, but the housing price in Beijing is too expensive, so you ca n’t buy another one!

“Master, ten or five miles outside the city, don’t you have your 5 acres of land? Why not move these timbers there? This way the mansion can be much cleaner.”

Sixth Zhao said.

Li An was shocked: “I have 1000 acres of land outside the city? Yes, yes, it seems that Your Majesty rewarded me. You do n’t remind me, I forgot.”

“Master, let’s build a manor outside the city as soon as possible. We will build these furniture outside the city in the future, so we don’t need to pile all the yards.”

Sixth Zhao suggested.

Li An nodded and said: “Good idea, prepare a horse, you accompany me to see outside the city.”

“Yes, Master.”

Sixth Zhao led 2 horses, ran horses with Li An towards the south gate, and went straight to the 1000 acres of land he owned.

“Master, this piece of land is your land, I have checked it.”

Sixth Zhao knows Li An’s land many times better than Li An himself, which makes Li An quite surprised.

“Where are the boundaries?”

Sixth Zhao said: “Master, please see that the river in the south is the southernmost point. We are now at the northernmost point. The east and west ends are bounded by the hills on the two sides. This piece of land is about 2 acres, but, Only the 2 acres to the south are good fields, and the terrain to the north is relatively high. It is inconvenient to get water, and the crops will not grow well. There are too many trees on the 1000 sides near the hills, which is not conducive to the growth of crops. “

Li An doesn’t care about the conditions here, as long as there are 1000 acres of land, it is enough. Anyway, Li An doesn’t need much land, just enough.

“This is the northernmost side. A 50-acre yard is to be built here. You are tired of living in the city. You can come here to live for a while and build a 100-acre factory south. It was put there, and the craftsmen worked there too. The 200-mu acres at the southernmost end were all converted into vegetable greenhouses to form large-scale planting. In addition, a ditch was dug north along the river, and the water was used to draw water. The 300 acres of land have also been transformed into good fields, so that we have 500 acres of good land, and the rest of the land will be idle for the time being! “

Li An said the most basic plan in one breath.

“Master, your plan is too much, and it may not be completed in a short period of time. In addition, 500 acres of land requires a lot of people to cultivate. The existing servants in the mansion are only afraid of not enough. If you want to hire tenant farmers, or increase the number of servants.”

Sixth Zhao asked.

Li An thought for a while and opened the mouth and said: “The other courtyard is put on hold for the time being, first build a 100-acre factory, and dig trenches to transport the timber from the mansion to here as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Master, we will prepare when we go back. Let the craftsmen stop working first and rush here to start work.”

“Okay, let’s go back to the city immediately,”

Li An looked at his 1000 acres of land and was very happy. Some of these lands will be better in the future. Moreover, many things can be done here. As for the shortage of staff, buy more servants and recruit more craftsmen. That’s it, it’s easy to solve the problem.

The reason why Li An is eager to develop a 500-acre vegetable greenhouse is because many vegetables in the large backyard of the mansion have sprouted and grown up, but these vegetables need a lot of space to grow better, for example, they grow 3 leaves If the cucumber seedlings are squeezed together and do not have good light, they will definitely not grow well, or even grow. Densely packed small rape seedlings grown together will grow bigger and better if they are planted at a distance. That is to say, the small vegetable seedlings cultivated in the Li An mansion can only get better growth and greatly increase the output only if they are placed on a large area outside the city, and with the output, more Chang’an City nobles can be obtained Eat fresh vegetables in winter, Li An can also get a lot of income in this process, one move, two gains.

There is no delay in doing things. To get in the habit of doing it immediately, after Li An and Sixth Zhao return to the mansion, Sixth Zhao organizes a large number of plasterers to rush to the outside of the city 50 li to start building a wall of 100 acres and build some inside the wall Simple housing and workshop.

Simple houses are used for living by artisans, while spacious work sheds are used for stacking wood and products to prevent the wood and products from getting wet by the rain when it rains, which can cause deformation.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, Sixth Zhao also recruited some 100 surnames outside the city in addition to plasterers in the city. After all, spring cultivation has not started yet. The old 100 surnames at home simply have nothing to do at home. Working hard, earning a little money is also a good choice.

One morning, Sixth Zhao recruited more than 300 plasterers and 100 surnames and immediately started working.

The scale of the 100-acre fence is not small, but it is good that there are many people, so it can be completed in one day. As for the buildings inside the fence, it will take 2 to 3 days to complete gradually.

While building the factory, Sixth Zhao also allocated 50 surnames of 100 to dig ditches to lead the water source of the river in the south to the land on the north to facilitate irrigation.

Because it was a very good sunny day for several days, and the temperature was also above zero degrees, so the land on the surface has been thawed, and it is not difficult to dig, and the deeper soil does not at all have too much moisture, nor dig up Tired, so 50 people with 100 surnames quickly dug a ditch with a width of 2 steps to lead the river water.

However, due to the slightly higher terrain, the water source that comes in is one foot deep from the surface land, and it is still not very convenient to access. It requires manpower to lift the river water bucket by bucket and then irrigate.

Three days later, the 3-acre processing plant has been completed. All the craftsmen of Li An’s mansion brought tools and wood and other materials to this large-scale factory. The area here is large enough to work harder. interesting.

In addition, the preparation work for vegetable greenhouses is almost completed. On the 500 acres of land, densely packed low walls are built, and countless bamboo poles are piled on the ground.

“Master, why are you here in person?”

Seeing Li An come to inspect, Sixth Zhao quickly greeted him.

“Sixth Zhao, it’s a good job. The processing plant has been put into operation. This is very good. The 500 sheds are also well built. It should be completed in a few days. Remember to recruit more servants. 500 acres of land requires a lot of manpower. . “

Li An said.

“Master, let one person be responsible for ten acres, 50 people is enough. If you are too busy, you can temporarily recruit 100 surnames, so that you can save money to the greatest extent. However, the location on the north is too high. After the ditch, it is still very inconvenient to take water, which is a big problem. “

Sixth Zhao pointed out the big problem of irrigation.

Li An looked at a glance, the trench was dug beautifully, but the water source was difficult to get up. In this way, the significance of digging the trench is not significant, but how can it be difficult for Li An.

“It’s not a big problem, let’s go, let’s go to the old craftsman.”

In fact, Li An has long considered the difficulties that will be encountered after digging ditches, so I have long thought about the countermeasures, and this countermeasure must be done by old craftsmen.

The so-called countermeasure is to use water trucks to transport the water in low-lying areas to high places, which not only saves labor, but also transports more water, which can greatly save manpower and achieve higher efficiency.

Li An handed the waterwheel drawings to the old craftsman. The old craftsman seemed at a glance that he could make it, which made Li An feel relieved.

In addition, the waterwheel is not enough, the entire irrigation system must be very complete, that is to say, the 500 acres of land should be filled with densely packed small ditches so that the water source transported by the waterwheel can flow by itself Land that needs irrigation.

The terrain is stepped. The water source transported by the water truck first meets the water demand at the highest point. After the highest point is watered, an opening is made to allow the water source to flow down, down to a horizontal ditch, and then continue to water. In this way, the use of waterwheels and small water ditches can irrigate all fields, which will definitely save manpower.

In addition to waterwheels, ditches and criss-crossed small ditches, a simple bridge should be erected on top of the ditches and small ditches so that 500 acres of land can be connected together to make it easier for people to walk in. It can also satisfy the free passage of small vehicles and greatly improve the transportation efficiency.

Since 500 acres of land are reclaimed here, it is natural to have resident manpower, and in order to facilitate the servants to work in the fields, their temporary residence is built in the middle of the northernmost part of the field, which makes it easier to take care of these fields.

In addition, in the north of this temporary residence, the kitchen, Gong room and agricultural warehouse are built here. If the factory’s craftsmen want to eat, they must also come here. Of course, there is a Gong room inside the factory, so you do n’t need a toilet Run so far.

Setting the kitchen together is also to save resources. After all, two managers are needed in two places, the cost will increase a lot, and it is not conducive to unified monitoring and management.

“Sixth Zhao, after the vegetable greenhouse is built, immediately organize the craftsmen to build wooden fences along the three borders of east and west, and idlers are prohibited from entering.

Li An feels that since it is his own land, the border must be demarcated to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

Of course, this kind of border can only guard against gentlemen. If the villain wants to enter, the barrier can’t be stopped. Even in the Imperial Palace compound, the assassin can also break in.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. A few days later, two brand-new waterwheels were completed and installed in the dug trench. Most of the vegetable greenhouses have been built, and the outer wooden fences have been gradually completed, completely covering Li An ’s land.

“Master, the waterwheel is built, you can try it.”

Li An nodded, let a few strong men stand on the waterwheel and step hard.

The waterwheel was built in place. Several laborers easily turned the waterwheel up. With the waterwheel running, one after another water source was transported into a small ditch at a high place and followed the direction of the ditch. Things 2 flow sideways.

“Okay, the waterwheel was built very successfully. You continue to step on it and irrigate all 500 acres of land.”

Li An ordered happily and stepped away.

After all of these constructions are completed, the next step is to build a higher-standard Beyond House.

Although the mansion in the city is very comfortable, and the area is enough for Li An to live in, it seems a bit redundant to build a high-standard yard outside the city, but Li An does not think there are many, one more house and one more foothold In this way, you can adjust your mood by changing places to and fro, making people feel more happy. See how officials of later generations bought a few hundred houses per person?

After returning to the mansion, Li An took a look at the vegetable shed in the large backyard and decided to start transplanting that evening to allow the roots of the plant to absorb enough water before being exposed to sunlight on the second day, thereby increasing the survival rate.
