Although the palace is depressed and a little old, it is very large, and the construction inside is also unique. Even if the king of Liang was not favored anymore, he was born in a dignified prince, so the specifications of the palace are all there, one pond, one mountain, one pavilion and other courtyards. If you walk carefully, you will find surprises everywhere.

It's just... bigger.

Just because it is big, it is very troublesome to clean, so Yang Haiyan is still a little dissatisfied. In such a big place, Aunt Yu can't be busy alone. But there are also advantages. The palace has a special courtyard for servants, so there is no need to build it by yourself. When we were at the border, it was actually a bit reluctant to carve out an area in Qianfu's house as a servant's yard.

The magistrate Yang said that the palace...the general's palace has not been carefully repaired, but it has only been roughly repaired, such as water leaks and grassy areas, but the palace is so big, I am afraid that even simple repairs will take a lot of time.

It was already half an hour after they visited the palace.

Yang Haiyan thought to herself: This palace is very big, and some places can't be used. If you change those unnecessary places into vegetable gardens and orchards, I'm afraid it can also be changed into one or two acres of land. Of course, it is still necessary to keep some gardens, and with conditions, leisure and relaxation are naturally indispensable. Otherwise, where did the fun of ancient life come from?

Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan asked the magistrate Yang, "Master Yang, can we rectify this palace after we live in it? For example, some places want to be demolished, and some places want to be rebuilt." After all, it used to be a palace, and Yang Haiyan didn't dare Feel free to move.

The county magistrate said: "Yes, the imperial court will use this place as the general's residence, and you have these rights. What areas does Mrs. Qin want to rectify? If you need manpower, you can call the county government office." The labor force is the government office.

Yang Haiyan said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, I don't need it for the time being. There are two hundred soldiers under Xianggong, which should be enough."

Yang Haiyan said this, and the magistrate Yang didn't say much. It was almost time for dinner, so he changed the subject: "When I just went out as an official, I ordered Zhuojing to prepare food, and it's almost time now. Invite Mrs. Qin over to the residence for dinner."

Yang Haiyan didn't agree, she smiled and said: "Those people outside the city have just moved here, and I guess there are still many things to do. I will forget it today. When the general returns, our husband and wife will post a post and invite Lord Yang and Mrs. Zun to come over. Talk to the government."

Seeing this, Magistrate Yang jokingly said, "Then the Xiaguan couple can wait."

The group left the General's Mansion, and Magistrate Yang took them back, and Yang Haiyan also went outside the city to see the barbarians who had surrendered.

Back at the county office, Mrs. Yang looked behind the magistrate Yang and asked, "Is the general's wife not here?"

The county magistrate said, "If he didn't come, he wouldn't come." In fact, when he invited him, he knew that Yang Haiyan would not come, so he just invited him politely. After all, some well-behaved people didn't come back, and when General Qin was away, Mrs. Qin seemed a little out of order when she came to the door alone. Mrs. Qin came from the Taifu's mansion and knew the rules better than anyone else.

Mrs. Yang: "That afternoon, I'll go over there and see if there is anything I need." Mrs. Yang married the magistrate Yang when he was still a son of a famous family. At that time, Mrs. Yang was very powerful. The Yang family was a famous family. Even if Ling has five clothes, but speaking, he is also a child of the Yang family. Therefore, the wife chosen for him at home was naturally chosen. Therefore, Mrs. Yang is also the daughter of an official, and even without the influence of the Yang family, the teachings of the parents at home are good. These people are all about the rules.

The county magistrate said, "It's good to dare. General Qin is not here. It's not appropriate for me to go in the past, but it's just right for you to go in the past."

Mrs. Yang also meant the same thing: "What's the character of the general's wife? But she's big?" She also knew Yang Haiyan's origin, and the big girl beside Miss Yang was afraid that she still had the habits of a girl, and she needed to be too accommodating to get along with her. It's not that I look down on the girl, but the girl who used to be from a girl's background, and he was born as a lady of the official family, is always a little sour when you want to accommodate the other party too much. It's just that she also understands that women follow their fathers at home and follow their husbands when they marry. Husband and wife are one. General Qin is of a higher rank than her husband. She has no choice but to accommodate him.

This woman, at some point, has to accept her fate.

The magistrate Yang said, "You will know when you go in the afternoon."

Husband and wife for so many years, Mrs. Yang naturally knew what he meant and also understood his character. After listening to him say it so easily, she knew that the general's wife should not be a difficult person to get along with. If the other person is difficult to get along with, the husband will definitely say, you have to pay attention.

Between husband and wife, there are some things that need not be said too clearly. If you understand, you will understand.

The tents outside the county town were only half-built, and everyone was having lunch in full swing. It's already early April, and the weather is completely warm. Today's lunch is better than every day for a month, because it is right at the gate of the county town, and it is convenient to purchase.

Today everyone's staple food is sweet potato and potato, but everyone has a bowl of bone cabbage, even if they bought it with their own money, everyone is happy to eat.

After lunch, everyone continued to work. Yang Haiyan brought the servants, private guards, private guards' family members, and Niu Da's family back to the General's Mansion. Along with the people, they also brought furniture from the border. Fortunately, these furniture I brought them all and can use them at any time, otherwise the empty generals still need to purchase these things.

When we arrived at the General's Mansion, because it was built according to the rules, each district was clearly divided. Private guards and family members belonged to the same courtyard as the servants. Yang Haiyan asked Niu Da's family to live there as well.

Although they all belong to the same courtyard, each household is independent. In ancient times, many families had children, and several members of the family lived in the master's house. Therefore, the lower house needed such an independent small courtyard. Otherwise, both men and women will live here, which will have a bad influence.

Everyone first cleaned the main courtyard. After the main courtyard was cleaned, the master's furniture was moved into the wing room, and then the kitchen was cleaned. The kitchen is the most important thing.

There are two kitchens here, one is a small kitchen in the main courtyard, and the other is a large kitchen in the house.

When everyone was cleaning, Yang Haiyan was not idle. He took Niu Da to start planning the general's mansion, and planned to demolish all the places she didn't need in her eyes: "Here...here...and there, all changed to fruit forest, Can you see it?" There is a small river next to it, you can row boats, there is also a rockery here, and there is a pavilion, from which you can see the entire general's mansion. Therefore, Yang Haiyan felt that it would be good to transform this area into a fruit forest and a leisure resort. And then dig a hot spring out, that's even better.

After observing the soil here, Niu Da said: "It can be planted here. Although apple trees and pear trees have requirements for soil, they both grow very well." Moreover, this place used to be the palace of the king, so it was naturally a place with good geology. .

After listening to Niu Da's words, Yang Haiyan was relieved: "Then you can go back after a two-day break, transplant both the apple and pear trees, and hire the **** directly. Will those fruit trees die?"

The cow promised: "The weather is not hot now, and if you sprinkle some water on the road properly, you will not die." And the fruit trees that have been planted for a year are very tenacious.

In this way, Yang Haiyan was relieved: "The ones here are all turned into fruit orchards, and apples, pears, and watermelons in the future will all be planted here. The side courtyard has also been demolished and turned into vegetable gardens. By the way, when you come back, I have to go to the countryside to buy some more land." Their family is rich now, and Qin Fang's reward is five thousand taels of silver. "Buy some barracks land."

Niu Da heard for the first time: "Barracks land?"

Yang Haiyan said: "My general said that there are 1,000 defending troops, and he brought only 200 from the border. Even if the barbarian's 300 is counted, there are only 500, so there are still 500 people to choose here. Naturally, a thousand troops also need food and drink." So she had to prepare. At present, the 15,000 taels of silver is a large amount, and even for the current soldiers, it is not enough to spend. Instead, there is no need to buy land for planting, so that the soldiers at least have no worries about food. Then they raise poultry, so that some meat and eggs are eaten.

Moreover, the money will be spent, but the land will not. And the poultry can reproduce, and the meat will not be eaten up.

Yang Haiyan had a plan in mind. Although these people were said to be defenders, they were also Qin Fang's soldiers. She always hoped that he would be well.

Niu Da heard Yang Haiyan's words, and his heart moved: "Madam, what are the conditions for the general to select soldiers?"

Yang Haiyan is not a fool either. After listening to Niu Da's words, she also understands a little: "What are you asking about?"

Niu Da confessed: "Madam, do you think my two sons can sign up?"

Yang Haiyan also anticipated his thoughts, and said, "Of course it's possible." If Niu Da's son enters the military camp, then Niu Da's family will be more attentive to them, and she doesn't have to worry about Niu Da's returning to her hometown. "Your son can try, but I can't guarantee that it won't pass. However, hope is always given to those who work hard."

Niu Dao: "Yes." If his son could follow the general, it would be much better than farming.

"Madam...Madam..." Aunt Yu ran over out of breath, looking at her appearance, she had been looking for Yang Haiyan for a long time. Seeing Yang Haiyan, she saluted, "Madam, the wife of the magistrate Yang is here."

Yang Haiyan was a little surprised: "Please."

...

Because the General's Mansion was being cleaned, and there was no suitable place to entertain guests, so when Mrs. Yang came to the door, Aunt Yu invited her to sit in the hall for a while. Speaking of which, there was no tea to entertain guests.

"Your honored guest is here, please forgive me for any inconvenience." Yang Haiyan said as she walked into the hall.

Mrs. Yang stood up and looked at the woman who came in against the light. She was very young and very beautiful.
