Rise of Nongmen

After working for several days, the preparations were finally complete, and even if Bai wanted to delay, he had to let go.

When buying the land, Ye Chen visited it in advance, knew the general environment there, and had a good idea of ​​what was needed.For this reason, he specially bought several camels for walking in the desert.

Ye Chen was not arrogant, he went deep into the desert, the large piece of land he bought was at the northern foot of Luoyan Mountain, there was no danger there, the most was that the initial conditions were difficult and he suffered a little.

The entrance to Beihuang is only a hundred miles away from Suifeng Village, which is not too far away, because it is separated by a mountain range. Although the villagers have heard of it, not many have actually seen it.

This is normal, many villagers have only been to the town as far away as possible, and some of them have never been to the city in their entire lives. More than 100 miles is enough to keep most people out. The land is in awe and fear, so how can you easily set foot in it?

Now the common people can live a decent life, and it is not realistic to recruit people to work in the Northern Wilderness. Ye Chen simply bought a dozen strong men, a group of nearly 20 people, plus various supplies, and just went to the Northern Wilderness where no one dared to set foot. very close.

Ye Chen didn't choose to go from Suifeng Village. He couldn't turn a blind eye to the immoral things done by the villagers, but now is not the time. When he settles down in Beihuang, he will have time to deal with them.

In the morning light, the team set off from Jinmin County, had lunch and rested for a while, and then left. It was like this until nightfall, before arriving at the scheduled campsite.

The inconvenience of transportation in ancient times really makes people cry.

Fortunately, this was not a long journey. If they had traveled at this speed before entering the capital, the number of people who fell would have been more than a small poke, and I am afraid it may be several times.

Ye Chen didn't spend the night in Beihuang, but camped at the southern foot of Luoyan Mountain Pass, and beyond that was the junction of desert and grassland.

With Luoyan Mountain in the way, there is not much wind and sand blowing here. The environment is not much different from Suifeng Village, and the group quickly adapted.

Not long after they stopped, a few specially made tents were set up. Not only were they strong to keep out the wind, but they were also warm. The sleeping bags provided to them were not to mention, so everyone felt at ease.Especially for the dozen or so strong men, all the conditions in front of them are better than their previous conditions. Seeing that the master's family is so well prepared, their fear of the future has eased a lot.

Ye Chen prepared sufficient supplies, and enough water for several days. Of course, it was limited to dry food, and there would be more food.

It was late, Ye Chen didn't let him cook, everyone ate dry food, including him and his two cousins.But right now, spring is just beginning, the spring is cold, and it is uncomfortable to sleep at night without eating something hot, so I boiled a pot of broth with dried meat mushrooms, served with pancakes, and ate a bowl, and the whole person was warm, in such a cold night , not to mention how comfortable it is.

After eating and drinking enough, the people who had driven for a day quickly rested.

Silent all night.

The next day, the sky was slightly brighter, and everyone packed up their things and continued on the road.

Bypassing the Luoyan Mountain Pass, you can see the semi-degraded grassland. Needless to say, on both sides of the boundary line, one side is full of yellow sand, while the other side is dotted with greenery. There is no doubt that it is the grassland, which the herdsmen depend on. land of survival.

Ye Chen glanced at the northern foot of Luoyan Mountain, which is completely different from the green scenery at the southern foot. This place has been eroded by wind and sand, and there is not much green on the hillside. It will not be long before it will be completely deserted.

The team didn't stop, they kept walking, and didn't stop until they saw a blue cloud.

"water!"

Everyone ran forward in surprise.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth were slightly curved up, revealing a faint smile.How could he come to this barren land without being fully prepared?

It's a pity that the time was short, the dew grass didn't grow, and he didn't have time to plant so much grass, so only a small puddle was formed, but it was more than enough to supply a group of people with living water. When he finds time to plant some more, it must be used It is not a problem to water and irrigate.

More than [-] meters away from Xiaoshuiwa, there are a few Jujube trees standing tenaciously. Needless to say, they are the only ones in the camp.

With the experience of last night, the group quickly set up the tent.This time it was not so random, the tents were arranged in concentric circles, the tents of Ye Chen, Ye Wu and Ye You were in the inner circle, and a dozen strong men occupied the outer circle, the open space in the middle was just used for daily activities, and the animals were tied downwind.

After the camp was initially set up, everyone was busy again.

Ye Chen divided a dozen strong men into two groups, some of them went to the small puddle to dig sand and expand the pond, and the rest took their livestock to dig trees nearby, and the effect of sand-fixing such as sand jujube and Haloxylon was stronger The desert vegetation is the main target.

That is to dig and plant. First, plant a circle around the camp, and then spread to the surroundings. The windbreaks are pushed outward layer by layer, and the forest land is used for planting and grazing.

This is a long-term goal. At present, there are less than 20 people, which is obviously far from enough, but it is enough to set up an outpost for the time being and create a relatively comfortable environment.

Ye Chen himself was not idle, he and Ye Wu and Ye You were digging tree pits near the camp.

Ye Chen also had one more task, which was to scatter the dewweed seeds on the edge of the small puddles when people were not paying attention.When the pond is dug, the grass seeds are planted, and the rest is to wait until the dew grass grows, and a five-acre deep pond will be formed here. If the water collection is greater than the consumption, the water will continue to overflow. The dug ditches are transported to the farm.

I don't know the years in the mountains, and Ye Chen has been busy for more than a month, and did nothing else, only planting anti-drugs, exhausting their energy.

Today, the small puddle is no longer what it used to be, and it has been replaced by a small lake.

Due to limited materials, the mud seal on the side of the pond is unsatisfactory and the ability to lock water is not strong.Even so, after more than a month of continuous infiltration, coupled with the soil-fixing effect of dew grass as a plant itself, the sand quality at the bottom of the lake has quietly changed, and the water leakage has naturally gradually weakened until it stopped.

A small ditch less than half a meter wide extends from the lake to the predetermined farm, nourishing the earth.

The camp is hidden in layers of trees, and the wind and sand can hardly be felt inside.

In the windbreak forest, at least one inconspicuous dew grass grows every other section, which causes even if the newly transplanted plants are not suitable at first, they urgently need a lot of water for their own growth, but in fact, they do not need much water for artificial irrigation.

On the one hand, the dewdrops collected by the dewgrass moisten the surrounding vegetation all the time. On the other hand, when the dewgrass collects water, the nearby water vapor will increase, and the vegetation can spontaneously absorb it from the air.

With the two-pronged approach, everyone was not as tired as they imagined. Apart from digging and planting trees, the most cumbersome process of watering and irrigation was often not needed. They only needed to water every now and then.

This made everyone except Ye Chen amazed. Afterwards, they all looked at Ye Chen in a wrong way, and there was a hint of awe invisibly.

The desert is a forbidden place for human beings. This is a warning passed down from generation to generation. Only the sand people who have lived in it for generations can survive in such a harsh environment as the desert.People from the plains broke in, wandered around the fringe area and then retreated. As long as they were careful, there would be no big problem, but if they wanted to live here for a long time, most of them would be defeated.

Water, the source of life, is especially true in deserts.

Without water, they will die of dehydration within a few days. At that time, let alone conquering the desert, it would be good not to be conquered by the desert.

But Ye Chen did it.

Ye Wu and the others watched a small puddle turn into a small lake with their own eyes, but that was not enough. The water, which was regarded as gold by the sand people, was flowing in the farm without money, even though it was still an empty shell. There are no crops, and everyone can already imagine the lush and lush scene in the future.

What Ye Wu and the others expected was right, after the windbreak forest was planted, it was the turn of the forest land.

During this period of time, everyone was very tired, Ye Chen did not proceed to the next step immediately, but left a few strong men to guard the camp and take care of the defense, and the rest followed him back to Jinmin County to rest.

There was no news for more than a month, and the Ye family didn't say anything, but they were very anxious in their hearts. There were three men from two families. If something happened, it would be really hard to live.

No matter how careful Ye Chen was, under the wind and sun all day long, it would be hard not to get dark.

Looking at Ye Chen, who was originally fair-skinned and whose appearance was comparable to that of the nobles in the city, now his skin has darkened by more than one shade, without even a transition, and directly turned into a dark wheat color, Bai's tears fell down.

Qiu and her two daughters-in-law did not give in.

Ye Chen is okay, his skin is fair, and the tanned spots make him look more masculine.The two brothers Ye Wu and Ye You both followed Ye Ningren, and their skin was already slightly dark, so it was even more unsightly after being exposed to the sun, especially Ye You, who had been doing farm work all year round, was almost tanned into black carbon, with one mouth, revealing A mouthful of white teeth, the contrast is particularly strong.

Bai and the others were so distressed that they tried different ways to give them tonic while they were at home.

Ye Wu and Ye You had their wives to help put out the fire, so Ye Chen felt uncomfortable.

At his age, he was just at the time when he was full of vigor. Thanks to Ye Chen's strong determination, nothing happened.

Mrs. Bai is someone who has been here before, so she was aware of this, and took the opportunity to propose: "Chen'er, this is not the way to do it, why don't you find a wife for you?"

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Mother, there are so many things going on now, how can I have the heart to think about this?"

"No trouble, no trouble. Go and see, which man in the village has to worry about his daughter-in-law when he gets married, and he should be busy as usual. There are people who go out to work the next day after they get married. If you feel sorry for your wife, then leave her in the city. Maid of honor, it's not too late to make out when you have time." Bai said with disapproval.

Ye Chen couldn't help laughing, this is the Da Yue Dynasty, free love is not popular, most of them are blind marriages, some couples have never even met each other before marriage, and the parents will decide their next life after seeing each other.

Even so, the proportion of couples who hate each other is not much, not to say that this is better than free love, but the general environment.When a daughter-in-law is more tolerant, one party is strong and the other party is weak, one masters outsiders and the other masters inside, with a clear division of labor, the marriage will naturally last.

To put it bluntly, women are subordinates.Since birth, they have been taught to depend on men to live, to obey their father at home, obey their husband when married, and obey their son when their husband dies. In just twelve words, they explain the root of such a stable marriage in feudal dynasties.

Naturally, the husband's family will not consider what the daughter-in-law thinks.

Regarding this, Ye Chen didn't know what to say.

Naturally, Ye Chen couldn't agree to Bai's request. He didn't like confidante, and if he married a girl, not only would the girl be ruined for life, but he would also suffer along with it.

This matter can't be kept secret for long, Ye Chen is already 19 years old this year, at most it will be delayed for another two or three years, and later Bai is afraid that he will find all kinds of leading girls to come in for him to see, maybe it will spread because of it Gossip.

After thinking over and over again, Ye Chen made a decision, but not now, no matter what the outcome of this matter, no matter what, he couldn't escape in front of everyone.

Ye Chen bypassed it vaguely, and Bai Shi didn't press too hard, so the topic just passed by.

More than a month before, Ye Chen used the windbreak forest to enclose about five or six hundred acres of land. Such a large area can only be cultivated by less than 20 people. The burden is obviously too heavy, and more people are needed.

Unfortunately, considering the current situation, it is still not feasible to recruit workers. In desperation, Ye Chen had no choice but to buy someone again.

Previously, they were all strong men, but this time the candidates have changed significantly. Not only have there been a few more craftsmen, but there are even women who are good at sewing and cleaning.

As soon as Ye Chen thought of the clothes he had worn for more than a month, there was always a lingering strange smell, and he was very sensitive to the washing skills of the strong men.He is not afraid of suffering, but under conditions, he will naturally choose better ones.

After finishing this matter, Ye Chen went to the tofu shop.He was not here for a while, and the tofu shop was operating well, but no new sales outlets were opened up, and the market was fixed.

Ye Chen calculated who he could use, but found that there was no one available.

Originally, Bai Qing was quite suitable, but he has a disability, and his appearance is not good. No one will say that he sells soy products in the streets, and he will inevitably be looked down upon when dealing with shopkeepers and bosses.Physical defects are sometimes a hurdle that cannot be overcome. It doesn't mean that if you don't care, it won't exist.

The rest are either old or young, even Ye Ningren, who is the most knowledgeable, is not suitable, and Bai's is even more unsuitable. They can only keep their achievements and cannot expand.

Ye Chen could only take a step back, and decided to get taller from the dwarfs.

In fact, Ye Yin's age is suitable, but he has a craft, and he is too busy with his work on weekdays, so he has no time to spare.Ye Chen doesn't intend to disturb his life trajectory, at most he will support him to open a shop in the future, and it would be a bit embarrassing for him to give up his skills and manage the tofu shop.

There are only a few young ones left, Ye Yao and Ye Hui are both 14 years old this year, Ye Chen will send them to read after returning from the capital, and they also don't have time.

After all the calculations, Bai Wu was the only one who could barely make do, but no one took him. Letting him out would be tantamount to a sheep being eaten by a tiger.

While hesitating, Ye Chun brought Ye Hu and Ye Bao to the door after hearing the news.

Ye Chen was slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"

After getting along with Ye Chen for several months in Beijing, the relationship between Ye Chun and Ye Chen became more profound. Unlike Ye Hu and Ye Bao who felt guilty for treating Ye Chen's family like the villagers, they were less casual and more cautious. Speaking on behalf of the three people: "The village is in a mess, and people's hearts are scattered."

Ye Chen: "What's going on?"

"Everyone has to go back home, and the villagers regret making trouble." Once the topic started, Ye Hu no longer felt restrained, and said very bluntly, "Many people want to work in the tofu factory again, but they I don’t dare to come for the time being, and if I don’t think so, I will come to see Second Grandma Bai to intercede.”

After hearing Ye Hu's explanation, Ye Chen understood the ins and outs of the matter.If the villagers lost a few during the food delivery, then they would definitely unite as Ye Weiting predicted, and this outsider would naturally refer to him.

Now, with the external factors gone, internal strife began. With Ye Shuo, the seventh-rank military officer, the villagers dare not go to the patriarch's house to make trouble, but there must be no few complaints behind their backs.

This is really a surprise.

As for why Ye Chun and Ye Hu and Ye Bao dared to come to the door, this is easy to explain. The two of them were not involved in that incident, and they both helped each other, so naturally they didn't have such scruples.

They came so late, Ye Chen reckoned that they might be embarrassed.

That incident was ugly, even if it had nothing to do with Ye Chun and the others, as a fellow villager, he still felt ashamed.This time, the three of them came here, probably because they wanted to explore the way. If Ye Chen didn't implicate them in the trivial things that other people did, it is estimated that there will be elders who will come forward to ease the relationship and deepen the relationship.

Didn't you see that the Yejia Tofu Factory was destroyed not long ago, and a new one was built soon?Such a family has a chance to make friends, if you don't seize it quickly, wouldn't you be stupid?

The village has not stopped recently, isn't it just for this?

Cutting off people's wealth, such as killing their parents, the villagers now hate in their hearts.

Little do they know that all of this is self-inflicted, instead of blaming all the crimes on the instigator, it is better to think about how to make a fortune, and it is useless to complain and shirk responsibility.

That's the way it is in the world, people don't find faults in themselves, everything is caused by others, they are so innocent.

Ye Chen couldn't stop laughing in his heart, for such a thing, for a moment, he didn't even bother to deal with them, it wasn't worth it.But this matter can't be left alone, he has to spit out everything he eats, how can he be so easy to find?

It's a pity that Ye Chen couldn't spare his hands for the time being, so he let them have fun for a while.

Ye Chen knew why and asked: "Then why are you here?"

"Uncle Chen, Brother Huzi and I came to the city to look for work. If you accept people here, then you won't go outside and work around." Ye Chun rubbed his hands, slightly blushing.

Ye Chen thought for a while, and said: "The tofu shop is not short of work for the time being, but it is short of managers. If you are willing, you can go to each process to get familiar with it. If you are competent, it is not a problem to be a small manager. If you are capable enough Big, the big steward can also be assigned to you."

When Ye Chun and the others heard this, their eyes sparkled. This was something they didn't even dare to think about. Before they came, they thought they could be ordinary workers at most. Who would have thought that there would be such a good thing waiting for them, this is really a blessing from heaven.

The three of them hurriedly responded, and before they settled down, they clamored to go to work immediately.

Ye Chen smiled, but didn't agree.There are fixed numbers of positions, and if they are inserted without a good arrangement, the efficiency is too low.

Herding one sheep is herding, and herding two sheep is also herding. Ye Chen doesn't care about the investment in the early stage. He doesn't favor one over another. Including Bai Wu, everyone in the Ye family has a share.

Ever since he returned from Xijing, Ye Chen didn't hide it anymore, not to mention other things, just the money he bought a large piece of land in Beihuang and registered and compiled by the yamen is enough to make people suspicious.

Obviously, only relying on the success of the tofu shop can't support Ye Chen's expenses.

As soon as County Magistrate Wang, who was still lying in bed, got the news, he stopped being sick and immediately wrote a letter telling him to return home.Without him, without careful investigation, he can deduce that the appearance of the flame wine is probably related to Ye Chen. In this way, Ye Chen has a relationship with the prince of Qing'an Hou. Perhaps it was written by the Qing'an Houfu.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case. County magistrate Wang didn't want to stay for a moment. He left Jinmin County under the guise of medical treatment before receiving the documents from his superiors. All official duties were entrusted to the county magistrate and other officials.

The county magistrate and others were so happy that they would not obstruct it. The magistrate Wang took his family and left soon.

Unlike County Magistrate Wang, Mr. Xu disappeared like a frightened bird, but he was not much better.After discovering that Ye Chen's wealth was not right, he pursued this point and investigated deeply, and the answer was ready to come out.

At that moment, Third Master Xu's face was ashen.

A few days later, several carriages drove out from Mr. Xu Er's mansion.

After County Magistrate Wang, Mr. Xu also left and took his family to Beijing.

It's not that Xu Sanye admits cowardice, he is a hero who knows current affairs.It is true that he has a backing behind him, but the far water cannot save the near fire, and with the intervention of the Qing'an Hou Mansion, he cannot secretly control the entire Jinmin County. .

Although the Mansion of the Marquis of Qing'an is also in Xijing, the most powerful force of the Marquis of Qing'an is in the Mansion of Zhenbei.

The entire Zhenbei Mansion had to give face to the Marquis of Qing'an. Unfortunately, Jinmin County was on the edge of Zhenbei Mansion, only a few hundred miles away from the capital city, and thousands of miles away from Xijing.

Originally, the Xu Mansion was considered to be flourishing in Jinmin County, but unfortunately, there was an internal strife between the old master Xu and the second old master Xu. Xu Yanqing's side has been able to support it until now, obviously he is not a vegetarian, although Xu Sanye still has the right to speak Huge, in the end, under the ebb and flow, it is not as good as when the two governments work together.

Although the Qing'an Hou Mansion only set up a few courtyards here, it has developed for more than ten years, and it must not be underestimated, especially when they are no longer dormant, they will show their fangs. He didn't dare to touch his nilin easily, even Mr. Xu was very afraid.

The sky is high in Jinmin County, and the emperor is far away. It is really not too easy to kill someone. At that time, there will be nowhere to find the murderer. Wouldn't death be in vain?

To put it bluntly, both County Magistrate Wang and Mr. Xu are afraid of death!

They cherish their lives, and there will still be a lot of glory to enjoy in the future, so there is really no need to provoke a bad star just to fight over this point.

The reputation of Marquis Qing'an's cruelty to the enemy has long been spread throughout Zhenbei Mansion, Xu Sanye has naturally heard of it, and instead of waiting for the day when two generations of the Marquis of Qing'an's Mansion don't like it and sacrifice him with a knife, it's better to go to Xijing Seek family protection.

The Marquis of Qing'an stomped his feet in the Zhenbei Mansion to cause three shocks. This is not the case at the feet of the Son of Heaven. There are piles of royal relatives and relatives. Today's fear, not to mention not being able to cover the sky with one hand, even ordinary actions have to be weighed.

Xu Sanye just fled away, leaving only a few stewards in charge of the property, and soon fell silent.

This performance is similar to the behavior of the people in the other courtyards of the Qing'an Hou Mansion who were silent before.

Without Third Master Xu and County Magistrate Wang as obstructions, and with the banner of the Qing'an Hou Mansion under the banner, Ye Chen's affairs have never been smoother.

Ye Ningren walked into the county yamen again with the money Ye Chen gave him, and when he stepped out of the yamen, he was so happy.He is just a small village chief, how has he ever received such courtesy?

The yamen sent him all the way to the door!In the past, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Ye Ningren's heart is clear, he probably owed Ye Chen's blessing.Although he didn't know where his elder nephew got such abilities, Ye Chen offended County Magistrate Wang, and County Magistrate Wang only dared to use his official duties as a stumbling block, and he didn't dare to take his life directly. From this alone, it can be seen that his eldest nephew is not simple.

If it were an ordinary person who offended County Magistrate Wang quite badly, how could he still have his life?

The person involved needs to be present to apply for the land deed. After Ye Ningren negotiated, the uncle and nephew went to the county office again.

When he got home, Ye Ningren waved his hand high-spirited and said, "Mother, pack up your things quickly, we will return to the village in a few days!"

"Go back to the village? I won't go." Qiu's face darkened.Thinking of that scene at that time, she felt chills in her heart.

Those people judged their crimes indiscriminately, not only Ye Chen, but also her family.

Even the yamen judged the case and had to talk about the evidence. It was good for those villagers and clansmen who usually looked up and down, and they didn't even give them a chance to explain.

The Qiu family is not at ease in such a village, and the house will be smashed one day if it is not in order. I didn't see my brother and sister's house being turned upside down. Among so many animals, I brought out a shepherd dog. If it weren't for the cows who couldn't move , I'm afraid I will be taken away by someone.

"Ha, what are you afraid of? Our Xiaochen is very powerful now, and with the support of noble people behind him, those people can't make big waves." Ye Ningren deduced according to his own guess, and guessed eight or nine by mistake. Not far from ten.

Qiu Shi narrowed her eyes, stared at Ye Chen for a while, and said doubtfully, "Xiaochen, is what your uncle said true?"

"You can do it if you want, uncle. I'll leave some manpower for you to avoid accidents." Ye Chen avoided answering, which proved the credibility of what Ye Ningren said in disguise.

This time, not only Qiu's rain is over, but even Bai's face is full of smiles, but there is a sense of coldness in it, which makes people dare not look at it more.

Mrs. Qiu can understand Mrs. Bai best, no one would have thought that before, she would laugh at Yan Yan and gossip with them, but in a blink of an eye, she would turn her face and deny her. Few of them could bear the mental shock.

It was as if her former partner had stabbed her in the heart, nothing could hurt her heart more than this.

After disappointment and heartache, only hatred remains.

Not only Ye Ningren, but even the Qiu family and the Bai family will remember this incident in their hearts, and I am afraid it will never be forgotten.I didn't move before, but I didn't have the ability. Now that I have something to rely on, if I don't take action, when will I wait?

Seeing that the elders were all gearing up and eager to try, it was a bit unreasonable for Ye Chen not to show it.After thinking about it for a while, he went out to visit the partners who had contacts with the Ye family. Xu Yanqing and the Qing'an Hou Mansion did not miss any of them. He used all the connections he could use. In a few days, except for the list In addition to the small number of employees, the villagers in Suifeng Village who were looking for work outside were all dismissed for various reasons.

Ye Chen still felt that this was not enough.He quickly turned his attention to those who could not be covered by the network he now possessed, taking advantage of the situation, and using whichever method worked.

At first, the villagers in Suifeng Village didn't realize the crux of the problem. When people came home from the town in disgrace one after another, and finally even started to drive people away from the racecourse, they immediately asked people from other villages to inquire about the news.

Knowing the result is tantamount to a bolt from the blue!

Revenge, this is Ye Chen's blatant revenge!

Those villagers who had been marginalized for a while because of standing on Ye Chen's side immediately resolutely decided to follow Ye Chen all the way to the dark.

The country people don't understand the big truth, but they know that being able to blockade the entire Suifeng Village is a feat that even Ye Shuo, the only official in the village, can't do. One word - service.

Suifeng village is gloomy and foggy, and Ye Ningren and others who have been postponed to return to the village are walking with wind these days.

Ye Ningren no longer cared about the title of village chief, and he took the title of whoever he liked.The original desire for revenge also faded away. He thought about what to do for a long time, but as soon as Ye Chen stepped out, he cut off the wings of the villagers of Suifeng Village.

But Ye Ningren heard that the few students in the village, whoever their family members participated in the trouble, were expelled from school, and those who remained on the sidelines had a hard time. Although Ye Chen didn't do anything to them, it was enough for them to tremble with fear. Not only did a student not suffer, he was also taken care of by his classmates.

At this moment, everyone realized that Ye Chen's energy was so great!

It's a pity that it's too late, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

One wrong step, one wrong step, and since then, Ye Wei Ting's prestige has plummeted. Although Ye Shuo, an official and majesty, the villagers dare not do anything, but it is still possible to avoid them and isolate Ye Wei Ting's lineage.No matter how powerful the official is, he can't force them to make friends with his family. There is no such absurd thing in the world.

Why, who told them not only to not help Ye Chen deal with foreign enemies, but also to disregard inside and outside, and run along with them, such an end is all they asked for.

The breath that Bai Shi held back was smooth, and she was energetic in everything, and even wanted to follow Ye Chen to help in Beihuang, so Song Shi hurriedly persuaded him.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bai was also impulsive, and it's still half-baked there now. People of her age might not be able to help, but would burden the youngest son. Night.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi muttered again.If Chen'er had a caring person to help him, he wouldn't need to hang out with a group of elders all day long, and he didn't know how he lived in the past month or so, did he eat and sleep well...

Bai thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it. She just mentioned it a while ago, and now she mentioned it again. Chen'er is not bothered, she is bothered.It's up to oneself to push the other, Bai doesn't like people talking about the same thing all day long.

Otherwise, she would search for a few secretly first, and when the youngest son lets go, the candidates are ready-made.

OK, let's do it.

Bai's heart made a decision.

Ye Chen didn't know about this. After the incident in Suifeng Village came to an end, he immediately headed towards Beihuang with people, food seeds and other supplies.

I haven't seen them for a while, but the campsite, windbreak belt and surrounding areas have changed again. From the bare ground at the beginning, to the green trees before leaving, and now the vegetation complements each other. There are already so many points to thrive in this area. the taste of.

It will be a matter of time before people discover the secret of dew grass, but it will be a little later. Therefore, dew grass can be seen everywhere in the windbreak forest belt, and the forest land sandwiched between two windbreak forest belts is still full of yellow sand.

Ye Chen is not a disregard for the head and the tail. He can take out such a sharp weapon as a desert god like Lucao without any scruples, and he has his own reasons.

Although the Lucky Mall has not been upgraded, it is still in its initial state, but after the transaction currency is changed to Yuanyu, the products that appear are obviously different from before.

In the past, most of the items provided by the Lucky Mall were ordinary items, the most powerful of which were low-grade items, and the quality improvement was extremely limited. Now, Lucao is only the lowest-level variety. Apart from its extremely special effects, it does not affect people by itself, while other items do. Many are available, such as food and medicinal materials that can strengthen the body and prolong life, but the price is extremely high, and Ye Chen can only look at it in the short term.

Even excluding these, high-yield crops and high-efficiency machinery (not electric drive), once they appear, will have a far greater role in promoting society than dew grass. After all, one needs to start from scratch, and the other can be quickly promoted. Which one? It is clear at a glance whether it is good or bad.

In short, Lucao is the most cost-effective among the items that Ye Chen can buy at present. As long as he takes it easy and does not attract the eyes of many people, Lucao's secret can be kept for a long time. After all, Lucao is very inconspicuous. It is difficult to be recognized at a glance when it is caught in the weeds.

After the manpower was in place, Ye Chen immediately arranged for them to dig ditches in the field, starting from outside the campsite and advancing layer by layer.

No one in the windbreak forest belt is too busy to pull weeds, at least not now, and he can't do this in the field. If the dewweeds are cleared away as weeds, then he won't even have a place to cry.

Considering this, Ye Chen had no choice but to plant dew grass in the ditches.Fortunately, it is only a small shallow ditch, so it is easy to dig. What is more troublesome is the subsequent shading treatment.You must know that the hillsides near the farm are sparsely grassed, and it is not easy to find so many grasses that are easy to shape like cattail grass. In addition to the process of weaving into grass thatch, it takes a lot of effort just to do it.

In order not to miss the farming time as much as possible, every time a section of the ditch is completed, Ye Chen will assign some people to dig holes and plant seeds on both sides of the ditch, and skip the plowing step.This is sandy land, not muddy land. The sand is already fluffy, but it becomes less dense after plowing, and it is easily blown away by the wind.

Ye Chen has not forgotten that the windbreak forest belts on both sides for windbreak and sand fixation are far from up to standard. If they really want to be as dense as a forest, how could it take more than a month to surround them with less than 20 people? Hundred acres?

Ye Chen did not challenge the high difficulty. The seeds he brought this time are all drought-resistant, cold-resistant and high-temperature-resistant crops suitable for desert cultivation. They are mainly peanuts, supplemented by various melons.

Originally, Ye Chen planned to get as many grapes as possible, but because it was hard to find high-quality varieties, he only got about [-] acres of grapes, and the rest were used to try to grow cumin and fennel, which was a considerable income.

Of course, vegetables are indispensable, Ye Chen has long been fed up with eating pickles, fermented bean curd and various dried vegetables every day.

Seeing that everything was developing in an orderly manner according to the established plan, Ye Chen delegated the authority and freed up his hands. Ye Wu managed the vineyards and other melons and fruits, while the peanuts and other crops were handed over to Ye You.

After nothing happened, Ye Chen looked at the tents of the same shape and different sizes in the campsite, and felt that it was very annoying.

Immediately, three people were transferred from the farm, one mason and two carpenters, but one of them hadn't left his job yet, and told them to start building the wooden house.

There are only three people, and the working efficiency is very low. When the farm is almost finished, they will only build a small bungalow with three doors.

Ye Chen didn't dislike him either. He bought people twice. He almost bought out all the slightly stronger male servants in Jinmin County. It was already conspicuous enough. The number might be even less than that of wealthy businessmen who have been in business for many years. Buying is not eye-catching, but daydream.

Ye Chen is not in a hurry, it's okay to slow down now. When the farm is completed, the construction speed will be accelerated a lot. When the village is completed, the family can be taken over.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen thought of a question.The reason why his tofu shop is more profitable than other families in Jinmin County is because of several secret recipes, and these are all in the hands of the Bai family. Whether they have been taught to the Song family, Ye Chen didn't ask, so he doesn't know.

In this way, if you want to take people over, you have to move the tofu shop.

It is at least two hundred miles from the farm to Jinmin County. It would take two days to pull it with an ox cart. Horses are very expensive for carriages. Even pack horses are not cheap, and the price is about the same as that of farm cattle, which is slightly better. At least double a point, and the price will be even higher for a good horse.

In the past few months, Ye Chen has spent money on hand like running water. He bought the large desert in the Northern Wilderness that belongs to Jinmin County twice, and he spent more than 2000 taels, plus the money for servants. The cost of wear, and the one yuan jade purchased again, have almost wiped out the little money Ye Chen had saved over the past year.

Fortunately, the flame wine was exported to all over the world, and the money came in very quickly, otherwise it would really not be able to support Ye Chen's extravagant spending.

When it came to money, Ye Chen suddenly realized that Bai and the others didn't even ask.He wouldn't take it for granted that they didn't consider this point, and didn't ask, but just believed him, maybe there was still a little bit of daring to ask, for fear of hearing bad news from him.

While thinking, a familiar figure came into view.

"Ye Yin? Why is he here?" Ye Chen felt very surprised and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
