Mo Shao couldn't help but smile. He raised his energy again, tapped the door gate with one foot and walked up the mountain col. After raising his energy again, he took Yan Jue to the highest point of the rock mountain.

"Wow!" Yan Yao said excitedly while looking at the entire mountain col. Do you still remember the loss?

On this rocky mountain, Yan Jue could really see the mountains on both sides clearly, and pointed to the closest slope to the col.

"Uncle Mo!" Yan Juan was thinking about adding more requests, but suddenly she thought that all the things she asked for had not been completed yet, and now she had to set new goals, and she would be resented!

Mo Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard her hesitate to speak, so he had to ask. "Do you have a new idea, girl?"

The scenery of gloomy peaks and green mountains, even he was moved by it, not to mention Yan Juan who was full of weird thoughts.

"Uncle Mo is so nice!" Yan Yao laughed twice, pointing to the two closest mountain banks and exclaimed with joy. "Uncle Mo's rocky mountains have recently been converted into span bridges, and several waterwheels have been set up four feet below the bridge.

The two sides of the mountain can be planned as workshops, and water conservancy can be used to drive the workshops. If Uncle Mo is willing to stay and lead the workshops, it will be up to Uncle Mo to maintain these fortifications in the future, okay?"

Mo Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only nod his head and said, "Girl, if you find something more for Mo Mou, Mo Mou will not be able to return to the mountain gate."

Yan Juan blinked and looked at Mo Shao. Was this a hint for her to work more?

Mo Shao gave her a positive nod.

"Then I'll leave it to Uncle Mo to do the fortifications here!" Yan Juan excitedly described the arch bridge she wanted. "The arch bridge is built from both sides, and it doesn't need to be exactly opposite to each other. After the beginning of winter next year, the arch bridge will be connected, and it can be used as a Tai Chi rock.

When the waterwheel is hung up and a pavilion is built in the middle, the workshop will be officially opened."

"Girl, do you want to divert the mountain stream to the west first? Let the Yanshan sluice try to operate in advance." There is very little water source in Guiwu Mountain, and the only water source flows into Xieyang City and becomes one of the moats.

When the water source is sufficient, secretly cutting off part of the water source will not be discovered, and it can also speed up the restoration of farmland in Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Jue pondered for a while before turning her head and asking. "If we want to increase the water source, our waterway must go further. If possible, it must flow back to the moat."

It is not that easy to cut off the water source of the moat. It comes and goes as it comes.

"Girl, if you want to fill up the water in this mountain col, it won't be possible without heavy rain for more than ten days and nights." Mo Shao has absolute confidence in the fortifications. "Even if the water is full, it will not be a problem to control the flood discharge through the gates in the rock mountain. It just needs to be done."

It is difficult to store the entire mountain col.”

Even if it draws streams from the mountains to the west, it will only be a trickle.

Yan Juan smiled, this is the answer she wants! It's not that she has no confidence in the fortifications, it's because there is an extra expert as a guarantee!

"With Uncle Mo here, these have become trivial matters!"

"Thank you, girl!" Mo Shao was embarrassed by the praise.

"No!" Yan Juan decided to give another good person card. "Without Uncle Mo understanding me, how could these fortifications be so fast? But if we want to steal the water source of Xishan, we should build another water channel from the village to deliver it to the moat.

We need some water to save the government trouble. After all, if there is no water shortage, it will be fine. Once the water shortage period comes, the moat will definitely be held accountable if it bottoms out."

She has never liked trouble, and would rather go one step further if she could have one less thing to do.

"Don't seek to accept the order." Mo Shao responded respectfully, impressed by this girl's thoughtful thinking.

The girls raised in Bohou's house always see more than these reckless men. No wonder the young master also likes them.

If in the past, they were hidden in the market, they would not need or care about these officialdom and interpersonal interactions.

They all like to listen quietly to her planning the territory, as if her ideal fortifications have been built in her charming smile.

"If Uncle Mo doesn't have enough rock chips, he still has a predetermined rock mountain under the bridge to keep the rock shell and leave hollow rock layers. The workshop can be hidden inside in the future and it will be convenient for water conservancy."

"Girl, are you looking for good places for your restaurant and book shop?"

Yan Juan turned her head and looked at Mo Shao again. She couldn't laugh or cry.

This is a job offer!

"What do you think is good, girl?" This time it was Mo Shao who wanted to know.

"Literati always like to listen to the stream facing the moon, watch the tide and write articles. We can use the diversion of water to build a bookstore and sit down to listen to the stream facing the moon." While riding the wind on Mo Shao's shoulders, she had already thought about the bookshop.

Mo Shao made dozens more attempts to cheer him up, and took Yan Jue to the mountain stream to look into the distance. The Xiang Fei Bamboo Forest was quiet, green and tall, and the elegant main leaves were fragrant.

"Is it okay to build it against the rock, with a bamboo forest as a supplement?" Mo Shao had already explored all of Guiwu Mountain in these days, and he felt that Yan Yao had made the right choice.

Few people can see the connotation of this mountain, but she, a six-year-old girl, not only sees through him, but also tries her best to make Guiwu Mountain show its superiority.

Yan Yan smiled like a close friend and said, "Let's look further away from the location of the restaurant. There are many things you can do with this large area of ​​Xiangfei Bamboo!"

"The restaurant can be placed above the workshop. The girl's Tai Chi pavilion can attract these drinkers and cover up the noise of the workshop."

"It's great to have Uncle Mo!"

...

On the day of the beginning of winter, water begins to freeze

The harvest season that was supposed to be celebrated turned out to be a poor harvest, with the rice seeds wilted and the rice fields empty. After inspecting the village, Yan Ju ordered people to burn all the rice seeds on fire, and then ordered the steward to mix in the calculated quicklime. , plowing the soil is like digging three feet into the ground.

Since it cannot produce rice with full ears, it will be exhausted for the fertility of the soil. The more time and energy it takes to invest, the more depleted the soil will be.

Yan Juan had people count the number of people on the farm, and she distributed thirty taels of silver to each household, so that people could maintain their farming machines and tools well during the days when the soil was fallow, and they could live well in the new year.

On this day, Yan Jue picked a village, summoned all the cooks from each village, lit dozens of stoves in the fields, prepared food for thousands of people, and asked each village to bring their meal diners to the meeting.

At a glance, dozens of pots were emitting white smoke, and about a dozen steamers were also steaming. Tables and chairs had been brought in from various villages, and there was a bonfire in the middle.

Bai Lu cut a small piece of longan glutinous rice cake from the steamer and handed it to Yan Juan. "Girl, please try it."

Yan Juan couldn't wait to take a sip, and the lingering aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of longan flowed between her lips and teeth. "It's great! This is the taste."

Bai Lu excitedly went to the pot, and the brown and black lid-shaped bowl was filled with rich sesame oil chicken soup and handed it to Yan Jue. "Girl, try it again, Mrs. Wang and these people have been busy all morning!"

Yan Ju raised a bright smile and blessed Sister-in-law Wang honestly. "Thank you, Sister-in-law Wang! You worked so hard to prepare the meal."

"Girl! Don't offend me. This is what an old woman should do. The girl has no way to repay her kindness!"

This blessed body frightened Sister-in-law Wang and she knelt down unsteadily. How could a lifelong farmer's wife stand up to her master's gratitude? She deserved to work even to death!

As soon as she saw Mrs. Wang kneeling, Bai Lu couldn't stop her fast enough. Yan Ju also knelt down and looked at Mrs. Wang with pitiful eyebrows. "You're just trying to break me! Mrs. Wang can't get up this winter."

The first sound of thunder is going to hit me on the head."

Bai Lu, who was holding the soup, was stunned and quickly grabbed the two of them. "Get up! The girl has to try the soup!"

"That's it! That's it! Don't let the winter thunder strike me!" Yan Juan took a sip of the fragrant sesame oil chicken soup, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sister Bai Lu, are there any kumquats on the farm?"

Bai Lu nodded. "Yes! Guyu quickly went back and brought it to the girl."

Seeing Guyu following the order and rushing away in high spirits, Yan Jue blinked at Sister-in-law Wang again. "Did Sister-in-law Wang misunderstand the silver I gave to the banker?"

Sister-in-law Wang was choked for words, but she also understood the meaning of Yan Jue's words.

It's not a reward, it's a reward.

Yan Juan winked and asked Bai Lu to summon dozens of women.

When Bai Lu saw everyone coming, she gathered her energy in Dantian. "I heard that there are still people who don't understand the girl's intention of going from house to house for thirty taels. I'd like to trouble you all to listen clearly and stop talking around. The girl has spent all the money on her salary for the coming year.

It’s been given! It’s true that I’ve been given a lot more, but during the heavy cropping period, you have to buy radish seeds or cabbage seeds to cultivate the soil. When the flowers bloom, you can’t harvest them for oil extraction. You have to continue to dig them into the soil to cultivate the soil. Stop

During this period of farming, field taxes and military taxes must be paid to Xieyang City on time. Recently, the stewards have been asked to dig cellars and turn them into granaries. That is to ask everyone to prepare the taxes that will be paid according to the number of people in their family. If someone secretly

If you squeeze out the rapeseed oil without plowing the soil, the next year's harvest will not be good, or you haven't prepared the taxes, which will affect the time to pay the taxes. The villager will at most sell it. If you can't pay the taxes, you will have to bear the responsibility of the government.

No."

Yan Juan gave Bai Lu a sip of the lukewarm chicken soup and drank it all as a moistening tea. "I wonder if this can be explained clearly?"

A group of women were messing with their clothes, and Mrs. Wang took the lead in replying. "Old woman, I understand."

"Of course the money won't come freely. The girl has just made plans for the coming year and prepared the taxes for everyone. Every household can save their taxes." Bai Lu emphasized again.

Guyu, who was holding a large bag of kumquats, also rushed back at this time and gave the kumquats to the women in charge of chicken soup to make the soup. Mo Shao and his group each carried dozens of wine jars, laughing and talking.

Several people poured the entire jar of wine into more than a dozen pots.

Suddenly the aroma of wine overflowed, attracting the greedy minds of many people.

"This wine is making me so hungry." Mo Shao watched as dozens of pots of chicken soup began to boil and the aroma filled the air. He was so greedy that the wine bugs started making noises.

"It's almost! It's almost!" Yan Jue was very satisfied with the aroma of wine. "I'll have enough chicken soup later."

After Mo Shao took her to inspect the lush Xiangfei bamboo forest, the next day she took some snow-flavored wine mother from Uncle Ye's wine cellar, and found a few people to happily beat the wine mother into bamboo tubes. She was only about twenty at this time.

Why is Yuli wine so fragrant and mellow?

I brewed these bamboo tube wine just to make up for the chicken soup on this winter day. It is said that it can make up for the winter and relieve the six diseases. Add two bamboo tube wine to each pot of soup, and it will make everyone warm in this winter.

"Girl, it has only been twenty days and this wine is so authentic?" Mo Shao lifted Yan Juan onto his shoulders again.
Chapter completed!
