The whole family wears it! Roll it up together! The envy of all the rich in Beijing
Chapter 191: Zhuangzi, the Impregnable Fortress
Nan Mingyu had always known that Bai Jintong's family had bought a farm and where it was, but he had never visited it.
I was surprised to see that the entire 2,000-acre farm was surrounded by high walls.
It would cost a lot of money to enclose this two thousand mu farm.
It seems that the Bai family has invested a lot of effort in this farm.
"The girl is here, Uncle, please open the door!"
The gatekeeper of the farm was the oldest beggar among those that Bai Jintong had bought last time, an old man in his forties.
Because he is the fourth child in the family, people call him Lao Si or Si Ye or Si Ge or something like that. He is used to being called that, and now everyone in the village also calls him Si Ye.
Everyone in the entire village knew the girl's carriage.
"Good good!"
When the fourth uncle heard Xiao Shuanzi in the watchtower above the door shouting that the girl was coming, he quickly opened the door.
Because the courtyard wall is high and the crops grown in the farm are important, a watchtower was built above the gate.
At this time, a little boy of about twelve or thirteen was guarding the Liao Watchtower to prevent any bad people from coming to their village to inquire or peek.
There is one such watchtower in the east, south, west and north.
Nan Mingyu, who came closer, also discovered that there was a watchtower on the wall of the manor, which made him even more curious about the manor built by the Bai family.
The most a small village has is to grow some crops, but to make it so mysterious and have a watchtower for guarding it is comparable to the defense model of a city.
Bai Jintong stayed in the carriage and did not come out to explain anything to Nan Mingyu, letting him be curious on his own first.
After he entered the manor and took a look at the situation, he understood why the manor was made so impregnable.
"The girl is here!"
"The girl is here!"
The servants who were near the main gate were very happy to see the girl's carriage drive into the farm.
Nan Mingyu was surprised at how much people loved the little tutor.
It's not like he hasn't seen servants before, and they were so servile and obedient to their masters.
But this is the first time I have seen someone so genuinely happy to see his master.
He could see that these people really liked seeing the little tutor.
Because it was Bai Jintong who bought them and arranged a place for them to settle down. She was like a second parent to them. How could they not be happy to see her?
When Da Zhuang heard that the girl was coming, he ran away immediately. When he came over, he saw the girl getting off the carriage. He looked up and saw a young man, waving to him to come over.
"Tiger boy, quickly take the horse aside and feed it properly."
"Yes, I will serve Master Ma well!"
Tiger Boy happily led the horse away, brushed its fur, and fed it, serving it even more attentively than he would his own father.
It's like I've got a great job.
The other two who ran slower didn't get the job of leading the horses, and they were very upset and grumbled to themselves.
"This Tiger Boy is a flatterer. He follows Da Zhuang Zhuang Tou around and flatters him every day. Da Zhuang Zhuang Tou taught him a few moves, which actually helped him learn some leg skills. He runs pretty fast, but he got ahead again!"
"It looks like we need to step up our training too!"
There are quite a few young people in Zhuangzi.
During the time that Da Zhuang was at the farm, he would wake them up every morning to exercise and teach them some easy-to-learn and useful leg and foot skills. This was also to prevent any emergencies so that these people at least had the ability to deal with them.
Although the possibility is very small, we cannot wait until the sheep pen is broken and the sheep run away before trying to repair the pen, as it will be of no avail.
These young guys are more flexible in their work and have plenty of strength, so they basically do all the heavy work.
What I like most every time is that when the girl comes, I rush to help her lead the horse and feed the horse. Whoever gets it first will have supreme honor, and others will also be envious.
So every time they competed secretly for the chance to lead the horse, it was very intense.
As soon as Nan Mingyu entered the manor, he saw a bamboo fence with morning glories climbing on it at the gate. It was elegant, wild and private.
Da Zhuang then noticed Prince Qi standing nearby and immediately greeted him.
"My humble servant has met Qi..."
"No need to be so polite, just go about your business."
Nan Mingyu was in a hurry to check on the crops, so he had no time to wait here for them to pay him a visit.
Da Zhuang knew that Prince Qi was probably unwilling to reveal his identity.
Seeing that the girl didn't say anything, she obeyed Prince Qi's wishes.
But it was impossible for him to leave to work. He had to stay with the girl and be ready to take orders at any time.
“Are these tall ones thatched grass?”
Nan Mingyu couldn't wait for Bai Jintong to take him to see where the crops were. When he walked around the screen wall, he saw a large area of grass that was almost as tall as a person and grew like thatch. He asked in surprise.
He had never seen anyone planting grass on a farm, let alone such a large area of it.
But he knew that the little tutor would not do useless work, so this must have some purpose, so he asked curiously.
“This is not thatch, this is fodder grass, which is loved by herbivores such as horses, cattle and sheep.
Planting this on saline-alkali land can also improve the soil and increase soil fertility.”
"really?"
As soon as Bai Jintong finished explaining, Nan Mingyu was so surprised that he couldn't hold back.
If this kind of grass really has such effect, then the saline-alkali lands in their country will be saved!
No wonder the little tutor said she had a way to grow good crops, it turns out she really knew the way.
However, he did not ask the little tutor how he knew it, as it was a personal secret.
The little tutor will naturally say what he wants to say to him, and he won’t ask more questions if he doesn’t say it.
"I discovered this by accident. There are more than one kind of forage grass like this. There is also alfalfa, which can also improve the soil.
Moreover, the young leaves of alfalfa can be eaten as vegetables.
It can also be used as fodder for livestock.”
Bai Jintong had not intended to keep the secret from the emperor.
Even if she taught them step by step, not everyone would be able to learn these planting techniques.
There are also many hard conditions, such as these pastures will be infested with insects, what to do if they are infested with insects, etc.
To say the least, she would be happy even if someone learned her planting skills.
At worst, she could just grow those rare things herself. Scarcity makes things valuable. No matter what, no one else can earn more than her.
The Emperor has sent Prince Qi to gather information. If I don't reveal something useful to him, the Emperor will probably not be at ease.
So she decided to introduce everything about Zhuangzi.
Nan Mingyu looked at a green field not far away. It did look like vegetables, but the leaves were a little small. How could he eat them?
Bai Jintong led Nan Mingyu inside. There was no grass as tall as a person blocking their way, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear.
Nan Mingyu was even more shocked. What kind of shameful things were planted on this farm?
There is another wall more than two meters high with a watchtower on it. After entering, there are bamboo fences, flower walls and screen walls.
There is a patch of grass as tall as a person behind the screen wall. Only by bypassing these layers of obstructions can you truly see the current situation on the farm.
Everywhere is green.
A group of servants were scattered in the fields working hard, creating a thriving scene.
If he remembered correctly, this place was once the lowest and lowest grade land, because there were too many stones and they could not be sold.
But now it's green everywhere.
If he didn't happen to know about this piece of land, he would have thought it was the best and most luxurious land in the whole capital.
