Zhou Fang was slightly stunned, "Growing fruits and vegetables?"
In fact, there are not many local fruits in Ningyuan County, just oranges, grapefruits, sorbets, peaches, chestnuts, persimmons, grapes and other common ones.
And among them, only oranges have a good taste.
Lu Fang did not explain, but just nodded.
Although my fruit and vegetable experimental base has not harvested yet, and I am not sure what the harvest will be like by then. But there is no harm in buying more land now.
He doesn't plan to do this kind of planting himself, but he will definitely get more and more seeds from the System Worship Mall in the future. Even the 500 acres of land in Luliang may not be enough for a planting experimental base.
What he really wants to do is "seed business".
When he becomes the "Seed King", the Chongqing Dynasty will no longer be able to live without him.
"I'll get the map."
Seeing that Lu Fang didn't explain, Zhou Fang stopped asking and hurriedly walked out.
Zou Yize asked Lu Fang again: "What workshop do you plan to open?"
"You will naturally know about it later, Magistrate Zou."
However, Lu Fang still kept it secret.
Zou Yi smiled bitterly, helpless.
When Zhou Fang brought the map, Lu Fang chose two more places on it.
One of them is connected to the land in Luliang. It is fertile land. However, it is not very popular, only less than 200 acres.
There is also a piece of wasteland to the west of the city, covering over a thousand acres.
After discussion, Zou Yi and Zhou Fang gave Lu Fang the best price within their authority.
The yield of fertile land is twenty-eight taels per mu.
The price of wasteland is still four taels per acre.
To buy such two places would cost less than 10,000 taels of silver.
Once Zhou Fang asks someone to measure the specific dimensions and Lu Fang pays the money, these two pieces of land will become Lu Fang's private property.
After leaving the county government, Lu Fang took Zhu'er and Jiang Zimo to Xinqing Xifang.
Find He Zhigao here.
Give He Zhigao a stack of drawings directly.
There are three copies of the drawing.
One is a dry goods processing factory.
A spicy food processing plant.
Another one is a pharmaceutical factory.
These are the three new industries he plans to open in Ningyuan County.
In fact, Lu Fang had the idea of setting up a construction company, but in this era, the land was sparsely populated and the urban concentration was low, so it was not necessary to set up a construction company.
Human energy is limited.
He never thought about involving his business in every industry in Dayu. He just wanted to occupy a sufficient position in those crucial industries.
People's livelihood industry.
In the previous life, food, clothing, housing and transportation were all important, but in this era, the most important thing is of course food.
As long as he occupies a sufficient position in the "eating" industry, Lu Fang thought, even if he could see Liang Hanmin in the wasteland of Dayu in the future, he would still have to be polite to him.
We really have to wait until one day, Dayu will be able to live a prosperous life if it has itself. Without itself, productivity will decline significantly, and Lu Fang feels that he can sit back and relax.
But these two drawings made He Zhigao a little embarrassed.
After roughly looking at Lu Fang's plan on the drawing, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master, I'm afraid this will require a lot of people. Are you in a hurry?"
Now Wang Laogeng and his gang are still processing and adding more points to build a winery.
Lu Fang said: "I'm not particularly anxious."
Now he hasn't even picked out sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, and he hasn't harvested peppers yet. This is just to prepare for a rainy day.
Furthermore, he could not devote himself wholeheartedly to the business before the imperial examination was over.
After thinking about it, he said: "But it's best to get it done within half a year."
"good."
This made He Zhigao breathe a sigh of relief.
Half a year, then there is no need to be so anxious.
Looking at the buildings on this drawing, they are very simple.
In Xinqingxi Square, Lu Fang did not take more with him, so Lu Fang took Zhu'er with him, and Jiang Zimo left.
He went to Sanwei Study Studio, and when he came out again, Jiang Zimo was holding a wooden plaque about half a meter long in his hand.
There are four big characters written on it, "Recruiting officials."
There are two lines of small words written below.
Then we went to Ningyuan County Central Street.
This is definitely something new in Ningyuan County.
In the past, when county government officials were recruiting officials, why did they need to go to the streets?
There are only so many positions for officials and handymen in the county government. If there is an occasional vacancy, countless people will inevitably flock to it and fight for it.
Ever since, when Jiang Zimo raised the plaque on Central Street, many people gathered around him without even shouting.
"Master Lu."
"Master Lu."
Many of them knew Lu Fang and greeted him with a smile.
Lu Fang is now almost a household name in Ningyuan County.
With him here, this originally novel thing became very convincing.
After seeing only those two lines of small print, many people secretly thought it was a pity and backed down.
The first is that he must be appointed to the Tanzhou Jiedu Envoy Yamen.
The second rule is that one must have the merit of being a child.
Lu Liang was a recruiter after all. If the clerks under him couldn't even read Chinese characters, they would inevitably be laughed at.
As for Jiang Zimo...he is an exception.
But more and more people came around.
After someone left, he quickly told the scholars he knew about such things.
In the entire Ningyuan County, there are still hundreds of Tong Sheng people.
Gradually, the people around were reading and literate. However, most of them were quite old, and the youngest one looked to be over thirty.
Probably those who are still young and still have high expectations for their own imperial examinations.
Lu Fang acted as the "interviewer" on the spot.
There are only six places, and they are filled up quickly.
One writes confidential texts, one is the clerk, and four are the military clerks.
Among them, the one who applied for the job of writing confidential texts was a familiar face. He was the poor scholar Ou Hongsheng whom Lu Fang met when he was composing poetry competitions.
Lu Fang was a little surprised by Ou Hongsheng's arrival.
Because Ou Hongsheng is a scholar, and he is only twenty-four years old. At this age, he can definitely give it a try in the imperial examination.
If you can win a prize, you can immediately bring glory to your ancestors.
Among the poor scholars in Ningyuan County, Ou Hongsheng is probably a representative figure.
"If you become a civil servant, don't you worry that it will affect the imperial examination?"
Lu Fang asked.
Ou Hongsheng smiled bitterly and handed over his hand, "My family can no longer afford my studies, so I asked Mr. Lu to support me. I... want to study while working as an official."
Originally, I had no intention of giving up the imperial examination.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Ou Hongsheng is not a suitable candidate.
After all, if he was elected, he would not be able to continue to be an official under Lu Liang.
But this guy is a scholar after all, and it seems like he really has no future.
So Lu Fang decided to keep him.
If Ou Hongsheng really wants to go to high school, then he can ask Lu Liang to recruit a staff member. Moreover, this is not considered a romantic relationship.
As for the other five, they are all literate children.
Lu Fang specially selected those who were between thirty and thirty-five years old. They also had calm conversation and smooth personality.
As an official, the most important thing is to be able to observe words and emotions.
People of this age often have stable families. They will not have any worries when they go to work in Tanzhou.
