【Protect those who want to protect】

It wasn't until he walked out of the gate of Li's house that Fat Tuan patted his chest in fear, "The ruler has become more powerful!"

Ye Fan smiled and tapped its small forehead, "He already knew about your existence, so it doesn't matter if you don't need to hide it."

"No, no, no!" Fat Tuan twisted his body vigorously, "Don't be captured by him!"

Ye Fan heard him mention this word several times, and couldn't help but ask: "What does 'capture' mean, this is definitely not a secret, right?"

"No." Fat Tuan flew around him and said mysteriously, "If caught, Fat Tuan won't be Fanfan's little treasure!"

Ye Fan laughed out loud, and then brought up the matter of "exile".

Before that, Fat Tuan was cautious and didn't take the initiative to say anything, for fear that Ye Fan would dislike him.When Ye Fan asked, he faltered and said that he was a "defective product" and was almost destroyed.

After hearing this, Ye Fan not only didn't dislike it, but also grabbed the little guy in his hand and kissed him distressedly, "Little Fatty, you are daddy's little baby, not some 'defective product'."

"Hmm!" The little guy was moved to tears.

Ye Fan held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. It was a small ball, with golden eyes, transparent mouth, soft and cute, capitalized and cute.

He smiled, and couldn't help but sigh, without this little guy, how difficult this "journey through time" would be.

Life had treated him more favorably than that.

On the western slope, the white deer was lying on its stomach in an elegant posture, and seeing Ye Fan approaching, there was tender emotion in his eyes.

A few children in shabby clothes carried basins and buckets, scooped water from the river, ran over from a distance, and poured it into the mushroom garden.Some of the young ones pulled fresh and tender copper money grass and gave it to the white deer to eat.

When the little guys saw Ye Fan, not only did they not have the idea of ​​claiming credit, but they pushed each other, and no one was willing to stand in front.

Ye Fan wanted to thank them, but unexpectedly, as soon as he took out the preserved fruit from his pocket, the children ran away, clearly not wanting to take advantage.

The warm wind in the afternoon blew on Ye Fan's face. He smiled and looked at this barren but vast yellow land, which strengthened his thoughts even more.

Do what you can, do something about it!

He sent the bronze sword to Li Yao with a small hammer, and he nestled in the cave, took out a small book, and started to make the next plan.

First, plant sunflowers.

Although oil sunflowers are planted late this season, fortunately, the climate in Daning is more suitable for the growth of oil sunflowers. If they are planted now, they can be harvested in late autumn.

The emperor of the empire was generous, and not only gave him oil-pressing equipment, but also several threshing machines as a gift.What is commendable is that the main structures of these devices are made of wood, and only the necessary parts are covered with iron sheets, which can be made even in the current era.

Ye Fan was very grateful, and secretly thought that he must prepare tea trees well, and choose some that are old and effective.

Secondly, the wine shop must be opened.

Right now, the vines are still in the package of the system. Even if they want to make wine, they will not be able to pay back until next year at the earliest. They will continue to make grain wine this autumn.

Fortunately, the wine tax has been paid in full, and the food has been bought. Coupled with the skills and reputation accumulated by the Ye family for several generations, there is always some profit.

Again, plant the vines as quickly as possible.

Ye Fan dug out all the land deeds at home, and looked at them carefully one by one.

Along the river in the south, there are [-] mu of fertile land, [-] mu of which are planted with beans, and [-] mu of which are planted with corn.There are two wastelands next to the south slope, where fruit trees were planted a few days ago.

In addition, there is a barren mountain in the north—it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a mountain, but it is actually a large mound with a height of only a dozen meters. There is not even a tree, only some smelly wormwood grow here and there.

It is inconvenient to grow food in such a place, but it suits Ye Fan's appetite.At worst, it would be perfect to hire more people, cultivate terraced fields, and put up some grape trellises.

In addition, there were [-] noodle fruit saplings in the package. Ye Fan didn't plan to move them for the time being. He wanted to keep them for Li Yao, either as a gift, as a gift, as a relationship, or as a bargain, all at his discretion.

Finally, he had another idea - to build a mushroom garden.

It's not a small-scale house like this at home, but a style similar to a modern greenhouse.

Choose a suitable place, or dig a few deep holes in the earth kiln, or build a few houses with strong green bricks, and then exchange a batch of moisturizing and warming equipment with the system. In this way, mushrooms can be produced all year round.

At that time, the varieties planted will not only be limited to Flammulina velutipes, but also Oyster mushrooms, Tricholoma edodes, Lentinus edodes, and fungus.

When making this plan, Ye Fan did not consider the issue of making money or not. His main purpose was to pave a way for this place with barren land and low food production.

Ye Fan put down his pen, took a deep breath - let's do it!

***

At the same time, Lee's Manor.

Since moving to Hanjialing, this may be the most crowded time in the attic, Li Yao's confidantes and subordinates are all present.

He sat in the first place, and there was the bronze sword on the armrest next to him. The sword was covered with dry mud. Li Yao hadn't touched it since the concierge brought it over.

The deep voice spread throughout the huge meeting hall——

"Speed ​​up the wharf fortifications, deploy manpower to build watchtowers, and guard the east and south access roads into the village."

"Buy sea ships as soon as possible, contact King Langya, and open up the East China Sea route at all costs."

"Send people to the north, secretly contact the refugees, and recruit young and healthy women. Those who are alone are preferred. If they have a family, they will be selected and resettled."

"Buy some black fire, find a rainy day, blast the west mountain pass, open up the north and south, sprinkle grass seeds, and bring in some stallions from the meander, as soon as possible."

"Gather the surrounding fields, check the population of tenants, and reclassify the quality of the fields."

"..."

One order after another was issued one after another, and the subordinates took orders one after another and went to do it individually.

The confidantes were secretly relieved, thinking in unison that although Master Hou was in a corner, he did not give up on himself. Looking at this arrangement now, he must have great ambitions.

As everyone knows, the reason why Li Yao recruited refugees, opened up valleys, raised horses secretly, and opened up sea routes was, after all, to cover up for Ye Fan.

Flammulina velutipes, flour fruit trees, sunflower seeds, or other rare things that have not yet appeared, he can ignore them, but he can't resist people who are interested in doing everything possible to inquire.

He will not stop Ye Fan, but will only arrange everything for him behind his back, allowing him to do what he thinks is right with confidence.

Even if he couldn't cover it up, he still had to make himself strong enough to protect him, protect him, and not let anyone touch him.

***

Another half month has passed.

These days, Ye Fan took out one-third of the sunflower seeds, soaked them and germinated them according to Fat Tuancha's method, and handed them to Li Yao.

Li Yao's subordinates and tenants were all mobilized, and within two days, the seeds were planted in the gaps of the fruit trees.

Immediately afterwards, these people went to repair the barren hills. The wormwood was pulled out, the grass roots were dug out, and the gravel had to be picked up into baskets, and the baskets were carried to the foot of the mountain.

It was hard work, and the tenants got up before dawn and worked until the sun went down.

Ye Fan refused to let them work for nothing, so he discussed with Li Yao that each tenant would be paid ten copper coins a day, and they would take care of their own meals.

This is tantamount to pie in the sky for farmers who have no extra income all year round. Except for the tenants on Lijiazhuangzi, villagers in Hanjialing and nearby villagers all come to work.

Ye Fan never refuses anyone who comes.

There are a lot of people and strength, and it was originally planned to clean up the mounds for at least a month, but within ten days, they turned into a soft and neat terraced field.

It was the first time for the local people to see this kind of field, and they asked Ye Fan what they could grow.

"Beans, corn, and winter wheat can all be planted." Anyway, there were no large-scale machinery in this era, and there was not much difference between planting on flat ground or on narrow terraced fields.

Ye Fan suddenly thought of a little knowledge point, and quickly told everyone, "I read in the book that there is something on the root of soybeans. After planting a crop of soybeans, the land will be more fertile."

The old village chief sat on the tree stump with his waist bent. Hearing what he said, he looked surprised, "I also said that some years ago, when we planted soybeans and then corn, the corn could always be harvested by one or two buckets more. Time won't work, so it's such a rationale!"

Ye Fan smiled. What he was talking about was actually the rhizobia in the roots of soybeans. It was hard to explain, so he just made it vague.

The old village chief affirmed his words, and everyone still didn't believe it, so they asked quickly: "What else is said in the book? Xiao Langjun, please tell us!"

This stumped Ye Fan. He just mentioned it casually just now, but he really didn't know anything else.

Fortunately, he also has a "think tank". The little guy quickly turned around from the database and whispered in his ear.

Like a repeater, Ye Fan talked about the methods of plant ash, human and animal manure, the benefits of intensive farming, the convenience of irrigation systems, and the usage of various farm tools.

The old and the young were squatting on the soil slope, with their dark and thin faces on their faces, listening attentively, lest they miss a word.

Ye Fan didn't stop until his mouth was dry and took a drink of water.

"Grandfather, it's amazing! The book also teaches people to farm?"

"Have you no experience? I've heard people say that there are not only people who teach farming, but also people who teach people how to dig mountains and rivers to fight wars. By the way, Mr. Ye Xiaolang, do you also teach how to make wine?"

Ye Fan smiled, "Exactly."

The man squatted on another leg, shook his head and sighed: "Tomorrow, let's save up money and send the baby to the school. Don't point at the number one exam, half of Ye Xiaolang's education is enough!"

Everyone nodded, with this thought in their hearts.

Ye Fan took the opportunity to say: "Master Chang'an Hou has set up a school at home, and all the children nearby can go to study, so don't be shy."

"real or fake?"

Ye Fan tilted his head, "Didn't the brothers hear the letter?"

"I heard that, but I suppressed it." The old village chief sighed, "Don't be Shuxiu, you are still a very good gentleman, we can't accept this favor!"

When the men heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed, isn't it? If it's an ordinary family, if you send some food and help with some work, at least you can repay the favor.Chang Anhou, what is he lacking?Isn't this a rush to take advantage of it!

Looking at the simple faces around him, it was both funny and emotional.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile: "You can't say that. Although the favor is not paid right now, maybe it will be paid back in the future."

"Brothers, think about it, Daning County is the foundation of Lord Hou. If there are a few outstanding talents who study, will it be good for his reputation?"

"Even if the dolls just recognize a few words, or learn some crafts, once Lord Hou uses them, will they be able to repay him a little?"

When the men heard this, they immediately patted their thighs, "Isn't that right, after the children learn it, they will all go to work for Lord Hou, as long as Lord Hou doesn't dislike it!"

The old village head also nodded, and held his hand towards Ye Fan, "I'm so rigid, thanks to Xiao Lang's reminder."

Ye Fan hurriedly stood up, bowed his body, his white and tender face was full of smiles, he was really polite and pleasing.

His status in the hearts of the villagers has gradually risen. Who remembers the prodigal son who bought fakes back then?
