Before noon on the second day, Liang Manshan succeeded in fishing and went to the city to ask the blacksmith about farm tools.
The answer I got was surprising.
The blacksmith shop in Huju City is an official camp. It specializes in weapons such as weapons, and farm tools such as iron plows. They don't have much inventory. Mr. Tian has already thought ahead of them and issued the order. These days, the blacksmith shop has been working day and night.
Even if you can't count the farm tools at the moment, you can still get them if you wait a little longer.
He also instructed him to go to the government office to register and wait, and told him in a low voice that he didn't need to buy it himself, he could borrow it from the government office first...
When he came back and told him, Yan Huaiwen was calm.
Others were overjoyed.
Opening up wasteland is the hardest part. If you don’t have the tools at your disposal, you have to rely on manpower, which is not only hard work, but also slow.
They raced against time to sow vegetable seeds and spared no effort in order to do it faster.
Yan Huaiwen went to the government office, borrowed the cadastral map, and asked about the seeds.
"The first volt is radish, the second volt is mustard, and the first volt is cabbage." He relayed Master Tian's words to everyone.
"What the yamen prepares are all vegetable seeds. It is said that they are collected from the countryside. They are mainly these three, and there may be some others mixed in. Due to haste and improper storage, they are all mixed together."
"Brother, when can I get the seeds? And rations will be distributed." Yan Laoer asked.
"When I finish with Manshan, Master Tian will verify that everything is correct, and then we can distribute the grain and plant seeds."
Yan Yu: "Uncle, what does Mr. Tian mean when he talks about putting a radish on his head?"
"This is a folk saying in Guanzhou countryside. It says that the third day after the summer solstice is the first day, which is suitable for planting radishes. The second day is for planting mustard. The third day refers to the beginning of autumn, and it is suitable for planting cabbage."
As he watched Mr. Tian act, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Mr. Tian is good at farming, has far-sightedness, and is clear in political affairs. He is really a rare good official."
He was confused because he had never heard that the King of England had such a capable minister as Mr. Tian, and he had some vague guesses...
Cabbage, radish, mustard knots!
How could Yan Yu not know that they have been developed into various flavors of pickles, which are sold all over the country and exported overseas...
"Uncle, what about the picture? Is the land we are betting on a tiger?" Yan Yu was already beating the drum regularly in her heart.
The results will be announced soon!
Yan Huaiwen hummed and carefully flattened the cadastral map.
It was difficult to borrow the general map of the entire territory of Huju, so what he borrowed was the partial map, which happened to be the land they were interested in and its surroundings.
As you can see from the picture, the stone bridge connecting the two sides of the bank has a very simple name - Big Stone Bridge.
The westbound road under the bridge leads to a town called West Bridge.
Yan Laoer had always taken shortcuts instead of taking the official official route, so he missed it.
If they settle down in the future, Xiqiao will be the nearest town to them.
Yan Huaiwen put the pictures away and hurriedly sent them back. After returning, he continued to work.
Although he didn't say it, the three members of the family who often observed Lao Yan knew that he was anxious.
Everyone is waiting anxiously and excitedly.
The father and daughter Yan Laoer and Yan Yu are precisely the ones who are not willing to wait.
"Dad, it's important to open up wasteland and plant seeds, but it's equally important to build a house."
"That's what I thought too, I have to have a nest."
"It's not a big deal for us to wait now. Why don't we go see how people here build houses and what kind of houses they build?"
"You have to ask in advance. It's cold here in the winter and you have to make a bed."
"I remember that it can not only make a kang, but also make a fire wall. It was reserved when the house was built. When the time comes, it will be burned and the whole house will be warm."
Yan Laoer thought for a while and said, "Daughter, seeing as your uncle is busy today, let's stop waiting and go out for a walk."
Yan Yu nodded hurriedly.
The father and daughter moved whenever they were told.
The attitude of the government officials at the city gate changed very naturally towards them.
In the past, I respected Yan Huaiwen as a scholar, and even looked at the Yan family with a high regard, which was a bit unfamiliar.
But now that we are one of our own, we feel close to each other.
Of course, Yan Yu felt that the key was that the uncle became the household secretary of the household.
It can be said that the household room is the most lucrative place in the yamen.
"I want to take my kids to the city for a walk, bro.

It’s convenient for everyone.”
Yan Laoer smiled and casually held his hand, and several government officials laughed.
"You can't hold it in any longer. I told you yesterday that if you want to enter the city, just let us know. We are not outsiders now. Come in quickly. By the way, if anyone bullies you, just say that you are Yan Hushu's younger brother."
"If I sign up, people will know about me?" Yan Laoer pointed to his nose.
"Don't worry, people on the street are well-informed. Your eldest brother is the household secretary and is strangling their necks. Let me tell you, brother, don't ask for the things given to you. Just remember which item you ordered. You have no brains. Come back.
The brothers took care of him and gave him this..." He seemed to flash the money bag at his waist unintentionally.
"Those are sensible people. You have to talk to your brother about it when you come back."
Yan Laoer looked timid.
"I...my elder brother will be angry if he knows."
"What are you afraid of? This is a common practice in our yamen. From the big boss to the little errand boys like us, the new ones just want someone with a familiar face. You don't have to do anything. If you don't take care of them, you won't feel at ease.
"
Another older man next to him pulled him aside, and several government officials gathered around to persuade him.
"It's not much, it's just a filial piety. If you don't accept it, are you going to let them come to your house in the future?"
Yan Laoer was shocked, "Is there anyone else looking for a home?"
"Then take a look. If you don't accept it, people will think you are too little and may not be able to prepare more."
Several people talked at random.
To sum up, this is the case in all government offices, and no one is exempt from it.
Even Yan Laoer was confused.
"By the way, take the son of Liang Hushu's family with you too, so that others can recognize him."
Yan Laoer hesitated for a while and said, "Brothers, let me ask Liang Hushu."
"go Go."
Yan Laoer dragged his daughter and left.
Yan Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Filial piety silver.
Hahaha, it’s really enlightening.
Yan Laoer didn't want to ask Liang Manshan, he wanted to come back and ask Lao Yan.
The reason why I say that is just to save face for myself.
Don't give people the impression that he can't make up his mind and has to ask his elder brother for everything.
After hearing this, Yan Huaiwen nodded: "Just keep it."
Liang Manshan also looked like he was used to it.
"Brother Huai'an, please bring me a good harvest."
Yan Laoer got the two's approval and came to the city gate again with his three children.
Yes, he also greeted his eldest nephew.
Don’t we want to recognize each other? Then let’s go together.
Yan Yu watched as a government servant entered the first shop at the city gate and came out quickly.
Then, one and three children, they entered the city.
Huju City is very large, with straight streets extending in all directions.
Yan Laoer didn't know where to go for a while.
He took them all the way down the main road into the city.
Several people couldn't see enough.
Although Huju City is a border town, it is also very lively and far from the small town in their hometown.
Yan Yu saw a bookstore and stopped.
"Dad, buy some paper for uncle."
