Looking at the turbid rice wine in the large stoneware bowl that Lin Fengjing brought over, Fang Xiaoyu felt a little nervous. In his previous life, he rarely drank liquor, and at most he drank some beer. In this life, he had never touched any alcohol. He even suspected that
Will he be drunk and unconscious if he drinks this bowl of wine? However, after some weighing, Fang Xiaoyu has a very mature idea. At first, he rescued Sun Xiaohu just out of compassion, but after seeing these
The children were so united and disciplined that an idea popped into his mind.
Since you want to make a career here, you must have your own team. These hungry and cold-blooded children are the ones you can unite with. If you can train these children, when you grow up, they will become you.
As his right-hand man, these feelings he has cultivated since childhood are absolutely necessary for him, and they will become his most solid support. If he wants to win over these people, he must first make friends with them, and if he wants to make these friends, Fang Xiaoyu must drink these
A bowl of wine, this wine represents Lin Feng's respect and their friendship.
For the sake of his own future, and to have a group of close friends in this world, Fang Xiaoyu took the big bowl, raised his neck and drank all the wine. Lin Feng and others looked at each other in confusion. They were originally
It was planned to let Fang Xiaoyu drink slowly from the bowl.
After finishing his drink, Fang Xiaoyu wiped the corners of his mouth that were stained by wine. When he saw the stunned expressions of Lin Feng and others, he realized that he had misunderstood. He blamed himself for watching too many TV series, and thought he had just drank in the arena.
Although he did that, Fang Xiaoyu was a little surprised by the low alcohol content of this rice wine. It turns out that the brewing industry in this world is so underdeveloped. Not only is the liquor not filtered, but it is not distilled. Not only is it very turbid, but the alcohol content is also extremely low, which makes him even drunk before drinking.
The gods and humans fought for a while. If he had known that it only had this degree, he would have had no problem drinking three or four bowls.
However, this also has its advantages. Fang Xiaoyu's generosity infected Lin Feng and others. He smiled and poured another bowl of wine for Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Brother Fang is such a good drinker." After hearing Lin Feng's words, Fang Xiaoyu knew that these teenagers had been eliminated.
Due to the estrangement, they regarded themselves as brothers. Fang Xiaoyu asked: "Why are you all gathered here? Don't you all go home?"
"Home?" Lin Feng, who was holding the wine bowl, said with a sad expression: "The empire has fought for years and suffered countless casualties. The people here are all orphans who lost their parents in the war. We have no home for a long time." After saying this, Lin Feng also said.
Drink all the wine in the bowl.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Fang Xiaoyu's heart twitched suddenly. He had a good family background in his two generations and had never felt such pain, but Fang Xiaoyu, who was kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see these young children enduring hunger here.
with cold.
"Home, do I have a family?" Fang Xiaoyu asked secretly. Although there is his father in this life, a mother who loves him, three grandfathers who love him very much, and kind and loving brothers, sisters and uncles, but he
But he still didn't feel like he was at home. Because he missed the earth, his parents in his previous life, his best friend Qiu Ruifeng, and even Zhao Ziting who always smiled at him. No matter what, he had to work hard first, even for the sake of this life.
Those relatives in the family who love and care for themselves, not to mention that they still have the dream of returning home.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu not saying a word for a long time, Lin Feng thought he was feeling sorry for people like himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He comforted: "We are all used to it. Although we lost our home, we are together now
Love each other, just like a big family. What I want to do most now is to make a lot of money so that my brothers and sisters can have enough to eat."
"How about you all follow me? Although I don't have much power at home, I still manage a farm, which is enough to accommodate you." Fang Xiaoyu suggested. Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Lin Feng was stunned, and then frowned and said: "Do you want to
Do you want us to be slaves in your house?" It is normal for the big families in the Lanfang Empire to be slaves. Many big families keep some children at home as domestic slaves. Such people have been exposed to it since childhood and have no influence on the family.
Very loyal.
Looking at Lin Feng's frowning eyebrows, Fang Xiaoyu knew that he would be wrong. He patted his dusty hands, stood up, shook his head and said firmly: "No, not a slave, but a brother. I
Fang Xiaoyu doesn't need a submissive slave. What I need is a real brother, the kind of brother who can trust each other with his life without hesitation and fight together in times of crisis. Are you willing?" Fang Xiaoyu said and stretched out his hand to Lin.
wind.
After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, the teenagers all stood up excitedly. Lin Feng looked at the excited expressions of the brothers around him and slowly stood up. He took Fang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Since Brother Fang thinks so highly of us, from now on we
They are brothers, brothers who will never betray." Those young men also excitedly put their hands on their clasped hands and said in unison: "They are brothers, brothers who will never betray."
Their voices were so loud that many children who were eating couldn't help but look around, wondering what they were doing. Only because of their uneasiness, Sun Huaizong, who was hiding in the woods not far away, saw this scene completely, and he sighed.
: "The young master is really good at winning people's hearts. Is he still a ten-year-old boy?"
After eating, everyone's spirits improved a lot. Seeing the children's faces full of bright smiles, Fang Xiaoyu believed that they had not eaten like this for a long time. Since it had been decided to take in these people, Fang Xiaoyu naturally had to first
He went back to take care of things. After all, he hadn't been there yet. So he left two guards and two bearers to help them pack their things. He didn't even move the sedan, took Sun Huaizong and the two guards and rushed to the farm.
Anyway, they are all in the north of the city, so the distance is only ten kilometers.
At first, Sun Huaizong was worried that Fang Xiaoyu's physical strength would not last, but after seeing Fang Xiaoyu trotting all the way without blushing or panting for more than four kilometers, Sun Huaizong was convinced of his physical strength. He secretly said that he was worthy of being from a military family, and his physical fitness was
good.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the gate of Lanting Farm. Even Fang Xiaoyu's physique transformed by Xiaofeng was already sweating profusely and panting. He secretly thought that it was really inconvenient in this age without cars.
Even having a bicycle is fine.
Lanting Farm is named after Lanting Mountain. It covers a large area, but most of it is mountains and cultivated land. Only at the foot of Lanting Mountain is there a small village surrounded by walls. Many domestic slaves who farmed the land for the Fang family live here.
, Fortunately, the Fang family is rich and powerful. Although the output here is not much, there is no carelessness. All the brick houses built here are regular brick houses. The walls are also made of green bricks. In addition to the brick houses for people to live in, there are also some brick houses within the walls.
There is a semi-brick and stone granary and a lot of open space for threshing millet and drying the grain. The brick houses are all independent courtyards, and several kinds of vegetables are planted in the courtyard for the domestic slaves to eat.
Walking to the gate of Lanting Farm, Fang Xiaoyu nodded secretly at the blue brick, three-meter-high gate like a castle tower, but the sign with Lanting Farm written in the middle was a bit unsightly and had no momentum at all. Fang Xiaoyu turned around and said
Sun Huaizong said: "I changed the brand later and changed the name to Lanting Villa." Fang Xiaoyu felt that it would be more impressive to use a name like Villa. "Lanting Villa?" Sun Huaizong just hesitated for a moment and did not say anything. Anyway, it was changed.
A brand doesn't cost much.
After taking a general look at the villa, and at the nearby farmland and Lanting Mountain, Fang Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction. This place is good, especially it is big enough. Originally, Fang Xiaoyu just wanted to find a place to experiment with Xiaofeng's agricultural experiments.
Results, but after seeing such a good place, Fang Xiaoyu changed his mind. This may be the place where his career starts. To make it bigger and stronger, he should start with farming.
After an inspection, Fang Xiaoyu was very satisfied. He asked Sun Huaizong: "Isn't there any protection such as walls on the entire cultivated land?" "Does the cultivated land need to be protected?" Sun Huaizong was a little surprised and said: "No, there are just some boundary markers."
"Enclose it all with a wall next year." Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand. His words almost frightened Sun Huaizong to fall. He hurriedly replied: "Master, this farm covers an area of more than 300 square kilometers. I'm afraid it's not realistic to enclose the entire farm.
.”
"Oh, that's it." Fang Xiaoyu also felt that he was a little too whimsical, so he changed his words randomly: "Then dig a ditch around the farm, remember to dig it wider and deeper." "Dig a ditch?" Sun Huaizong asked again.
I was stunned for a while: "What's the use of digging ditches?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "This will prevent anyone from stealing our food. Digging ditches will divert water from the Weishui River, which will prevent theft and facilitate irrigation. Anyway, it is already autumn and the crops have been harvested. Let the slaves dig ditches."
"Sun Huaizong somewhat understood the young master's unbridled idea. This is a moat.
Fang Xiaoyu continued: "When the ditch is dug, you can erect a lookout two hundred meters around the ditch and let the slaves live on it at night. The anti-theft effect will definitely be good." Sun Huaizong said: "
Master, this project is quite big." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You don't need to complete this now. You shouldn't need it next year, and it will be almost done the year after that. You can just finish it within three years." Sun Huaizong nodded and dismissed the matter.
Note it down.
"And we have to repair the entire Lanting Mountain." After hearing the young master's words, Sun Huaizong almost fell down again: "Master, this project is probably bigger." Fang Xiaoyu said: "I didn't ask you to level it, I just asked you to level it.
After repairing it, it will be built into layers of terraces from top to bottom." "What are terraces?" Sun Huaizong asked doubtfully. There is no concept of terraces in this world, so the Lanting Mountain included in the farm has always been
It is deserted. In fact, this mountain was also given as a gift when the land was purchased.
Fang Xiaoyu explained to Sun Huaizong in detail how to build terraces, and asked him to leave a waterway. Seeing that Lanting Mountain is an earth mountain with an altitude of less than a thousand meters, Fang Xiaoyu was confident that he could use human-powered water trucks to get water to the top of the mountain, and irrigation would not be possible.
question.
While Fang Xiaoyu was instructing Sun Huaizong to renovate the farm, Sun Huaizong asked carefully: "Master, this farm is being renovated in a hurry. The children should also settle down when they come." Fang Xiaoyu finally realized that he went to the farm to take care of business.
