PFC Chapter 315 Where should we settle down?
Chapter 315 Where should we settle down?
In half a month, Han Mingxiang and several children will go to Youzhou City to take part in the imperial examination.
Before dinner that day, Hua Zixi drove a big boat to Taohuayuan.
This time he came to pick up Han Mingxiang and several children to go to Youzhou City to take part in the imperial examination.
This is because Master Xu asked Han Mingxiang and others to go there early, take a look at the examination room first, familiarize themselves with the environment there, and then prepare for the exam with peace of mind in the Sifang Restaurant.
Li Lanzhen felt that it was too early. Preparing for the exam at home, where the environment and people are familiar, would be more conducive to stabilizing their emotions.
Another reason was that after they got there, neither Master Xu nor Lu Boyan followed them.
If they encounter problems and no one can answer them, they will become even more anxious if they try to solve them on their own.
Later, Master Xu said that we should go five days before the exam starts as we can’t delay any longer.
So they asked someone to inform Hua Zixi and asked him not to come so early.
However, Hua Zixi came to Taohuayuan today as per the previous agreement.
Both the cafeteria and dining room were expanded.
The dining room was lengthened by three meters and widened by five meters towards the south.
There are now three rows of eight-person tables placed side by side in the dining room, with a one-and-a-half-meter aisle in the middle, which is very spacious.
There are now 12 large iron pots in the cafeteria.
There are two large iron pots used to boil water. There is warm water all day long for everyone to wash.
After dinner, Hua Zixi and Xuan Shen sat together and chatted with the people from the village committee.
It was Li Lanzhen who proposed to establish the village committee.
Everyone feels that an organization should be set up to collectively discuss and decide what to do in Taohuayuan in each season.
So, when Li Lanzhen brought it up, everyone applauded.
It was also in this dining room that both adults and children participated.
The village chief is still Han Shunde, and the deputy village chief is Han Minghai.
There are four directors: the director in charge of agriculture is Zhang Deshui, the director in charge of security is Xue Lao Hu, and the director in charge of logistics is Xue Nizi.
The last director in charge of women and children’s protection work was Aunt Huaihua.
The captain of the woodworking workshop is Li Xishui.
The captain of the poultry farm is Huang Shanhua.
The captain of the livestock farm is Han Dazhong.
The captain of the infrastructure team is Han Zhaoxiong.
Before the election, Li Lanzhen proposed that women should participate in the village committee to jointly manage various village affairs.
After three women were selected, Li Lanzhen found that the men did not show any discomfort or disapproval, and the women and children were all in high spirits.
Taohuayuan also set up a medical room, which was a scaled-down version of a hospital.
There are doctors' offices where patients can see patients and take their pulses, and there are rooms for patients who need to be hospitalized for recuperation.
There is a medicine warehouse and a pharmacy.
Bai Houpu was invited to be the director of the Taohuayuan hospital, Wu became the gynecologist, and Han Yuemei also went there to learn from Wu.
The names of all these positions were determined by Li Lanzhen.
Everyone also understands the meaning of these job titles.
After hearing it, they didn't have any different opinions, they just felt that it was different from what they knew and very novel.
The people attending the meeting now are the above-mentioned persons in charge.
As usual, there were two observers.
One is the prince, and the other is Su Changsheng, the young eunuch who serves him.
Every time there was such an activity in the village, the prince would participate, and Su Changsheng would take out a notebook to record it.
All of their actions were approved by Li Lanzhen.
Seeing that Li Lanzhen didn't say anything, the others just acquiesced to their presence.
Hua Zixi brought two pieces of news.
One is a contract between him and Taohuayuan on the variety and quantity of vegetables he orders throughout the year.
Li Lanzhen took it and looked at it, then looked up at him in surprise.
"Manager Hua, do you need so many vegetables all year round? Can you eat them all?"
After that, without waiting for his answer, she began to read the contents of the contract.
"Every month we need 8000 kilograms of tomatoes, kilograms of cucumbers, kilograms of peppers, and kilograms of eggplants."
Li Lanzhen looked up at him, and Hua Zixi smiled and nodded.
"Yes! This number is correct! After looking at the sales of vegetables last year and our market survey, this number is conservative!"
After hearing this, Zhang Deshui's eyes lit up and he stared at Hua Zixi with a burning gaze as if he was looking at gold.
Hua Zixi was already familiar with this look in his eyes, so he smiled and nodded at him.
After the two parties had discussed it, they signed the contract.
Another piece of news is about the settlement of everyone in Taohuayuan.
After hearing what he said, everyone looked at him with great concern, wanting to know what the resettlement policy was.
Hua Zixi glanced at everyone and then looked at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen knew that he was asking her whether she should tell him now that the Peach Blossom Spring was a gift from the emperor.
She nodded in agreement, took out the deed to Peach Blossom Spring from the space in her arms and placed it on the table.
No one knows what this is.
Hua Zixi picked it up and handed it to Xuanshen.
Xuan Shen took it and said with a cough.
"This is the title deed to the Peach Blossom Valley that the emperor bestowed upon Li Lanzhen."
"Crash."
"thump."
When Li Lanzhen raised her eyes, she was the only one sitting on the stool, with Xuan Shen and Hua Zixi standing beside her with their heads bowed.
The others knelt on the ground!
Even the prince behind him stood up, and Su Changsheng knelt on the ground.
Only then did she realize the helplessness of the ancient imperial system, where the common people of the world had to kneel down at every turn.
Just as she was about to kneel, Xuan Shen glanced at the prince and said to everyone.
"Everyone please stand up and sit down to listen. This is not an imperial decree, so you don't have to kneel to listen."
Li Lanzhen knew that except Hua Zixi, Xuanshen and herself, no one else knew the prince's identity.
Therefore, their actions just now were involuntary and were ingrained in their bones as they grew up in this imperial capital.
She sighed in her heart, either she would not see the official, or Han Mingxiang would study hard and take the imperial examinations, and ask for an imperial title for her.
This damn "kneeling" ceremony!
Xuan Shen quickly read the contents of the land deed bestowed by the emperor.
Li Lanzhen stood there a little embarrassed. She looked back at the prince, who smiled at her and blinked.
Li Lanzhen knew about it, and this meant that she should not be too obsessed with the formality, and he would not tell the emperor.
So Li Lanzhen also smiled and sat down.
Others were a little confused about this matter.
How did this Peach Blossom Spring become Li Lanzhen's personal property?
What should they do then? Should they sign a contract to sell themselves to Li Lanzhen and become her slaves?
Everyone frowned and thought, but Han Shunde remained unmoved.
He had already made up his mind that even if he had to sign a master-servant agreement, he was willing to follow Li Lanzhen.
Hua Zixi went on to say, "Madam Li saved the princess and her cousin when they were fleeing famine.
Also, he saved Xuan Shen several times.
Xuan Shen is the younger brother of the current queen's sister-in-law."
Everyone then suddenly realized what was happening.
Xuan Shen added, “The most important thing is that Aunt Lan Zhen donated food to the soldiers at the border in the winter.
Of course there are other more important things, but it is not convenient to tell you now.
By autumn, everyone will know the reason.
So now this Peach Blossom Valley Grand Canyon belongs to Li Lanzhen."
Han Dazhong immediately asked, "What should we do? This Grand Canyon belongs to Lan Zhen, so where should we settle down?"
