Farmer Fubo is open for business

In the evening, Chang An and Lian Xin Xiaoju slept in the same room, while the Li Xing brothers and sisters were sent home by Song Erxiao.

Then the woman named Hui Niang served tea to Mrs. Jiang, which was regarded as a clear path in front of Ms. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang felt aggrieved, but she couldn't use this to be angry with her husband.

However, Hui Niang was still kind-hearted. When she saw her master at home, she took the initiative to retreat to the side and never saw Song Erxiao.

Two days later, Chang'an had figured out the entire guard city and knew that most of the people living in the guard city were family members of soldiers.

Not only did the families of soldiers live in the acropolis, but also the families of soldiers lived in the Tunpu village outside the city.

These people are soldiers in war, and farmers in the field when there is no war.

But they are different from farmers, because most of the food they grow will be taken away by the command department.

Therefore, the lives of these military garrison families are not easy, and they sometimes go hungry.

Fortunately, there are many mountains and forests here. In spring and summer, many people go to the woods to collect mushrooms to eat, or dig up medicinal materials to sell in the Acropolis.

"Chang'an, do you want to learn to ride a horse?" Song Erxiao, who came back from the school, saw that his daughter often ran away, so he wanted to teach her how to ride a horse.

"I think so!" Chang'an exclaimed, "I've always dreamed of riding a horse."

Song Erxiao smiled: "Then I will choose a pony for you, and I will try it out today."

"Okay, okay!" Chang'an clapped his hands and ran to drag Song Sanshun over: "Uncle, let's learn together."

Song Erxiao: "Okay! Both of you go with me to pick horses."

"And Lotus Heart Xiaoju also needs to learn!" Chang'an called the two maids over again: "In the future, when I go out to ride horses, I can't let her two run behind, right?"

Song Erxiao could only nod: "Okay, do you want to bring your mother with you?"

"I want it!" Chang An climbed up the pole and immediately pulled Jiang over.

In this way, the whole family went to the racecourse to practice riding horses.

Within a few days, Chang'an and Lianxin Xiaoju had become proficient in controlling horses and giving various instructions.

Song Sanshun was already good at riding a donkey, but now he can ride a donkey just as well. He learned it very quickly, and even rode better than the others in Chang'an.

Ms. Jiang is timid. Although she can sit on a horse, the horse gets nervous when it starts running and almost falls off the horse several times.

"Forget it, you better stop learning." Song Erxiao was really afraid of throwing his wife out, so he asked her to sit aside and rest.

A few days later, Song Sanshun was already very skilled at running on horseback, so he came up with the idea of ​​going back.

The New Year was about to come, and his wife and daughter were still with his brother-in-law, and he wanted to go back and reunite with them.

When he told his brother this idea, Song Erxiao was embarrassed: "Sanshun, it's not that my brother won't send you back, it's because we can't leave the guardhouse."

The soldiers stationed at the garrison were not allowed to go out without orders, let alone Yuyang County, which was so far away.

Seeing his brother's frustration, Song Erxiao added, "You stay here for now. When the weather warms up, I'll tell the commander and ask him to send someone to take you back."

"Uncle, we haven't decided how to make money yet, why are you leaving?" Although Chang'an also misses his aunt and little sister, his uncle's safety is the most important, so he must not be allowed to go back alone.

When they came over, they saw many deserted places along the way. If a group of bandits came out, my uncle would not be able to escape alone.

Song Sanshun also understood this truth and knew that his brother and niece were thinking about his safety. He sighed and asked, "What kind of business does Chang'an want to do?"

"We're selling two-wheeled vehicles. Three-wheeled vehicles are also fine." Chang'an took out a stack of blueprints: "This time we'll buy a few craftsmen who know how to make iron and steel, and then hire a few carpenters and let them make accessories in the shop."

Song Sanshun took the drawings, looked at them one by one, and asked, "Where do you plan to open a shop?"

"Let's take Jizhou City." Jizhou is close to Yuyang County. My uncle does business there and can take care of his wife and children.

Song Sanshun was a little moved.

He knew how popular his niece's car dealership was in the capital. If it could really gain a foothold in Jizhou, he would be happy to see it happen.

Chang'an turned to his father again: "Dad, is there a place to smelt iron ore here?"

"Yes." Song Erxiao said, "What do you want to do?"

Chang'an: "I want to customize farm tools and steel balls to make bearings and flywheels. It doesn't matter if I don't know how to do it. I can also buy some pig iron."

She also has the formula for steel here. If possible, she would like to exchange a batch of iron blocks with them, so that she can save a lot of money.

Song Erxiao couldn't understand what his daughter was saying, but his younger brother Song Sanshun understood.

Does your niece want to set up her own smelting factory to make parts such as flywheels and sprockets?

If it does happen, the cost of two-wheelers may be reduced by half.

"I'll ask you later." Song Erxiao wanted to ask the commander about this.

Next, Song Sanshun and Song Erxiao became busy and sometimes did not go home for a day or two.

When Changan had nothing to do, he helped his mother-in-law steam steamed buns, cook sausages and bacon, and prepare for the New Year.

Unknowingly, a new year has passed and spring has arrived soon.

Chang'an got a batch of pig iron from the smelter as he wished, and asked his uncle Song Sanshun to take it to Yuyang County to prepare for smelting and forging.

Yuyang County is the territory under the jurisdiction of my uncle. No one dares to care about his uncle's founding of a forging shop and a car dealership there.

Chang'an also received custom-made farm tools and plows, and asked someone to open a field in the city.

The fields here are much more fertile than those in my hometown, and everything grown is very lush.

Chang'an planted the vegetable seeds in the ground according to their varieties, and then poured them with water produced by Xiaozhuzhu. Within a few days, the vegetable seeds began to sprout.

More than a month later, the leeks and radishes were growing vigorously and lushly green, attracting the surrounding military families to come and take a look.

"I didn't expect Miss Chang'an to be able to grow vegetables." Myolie Li's sister-in-law Lin said with a smile: "Do you have any vegetables left? We want to grow some too."

"Yes." Chang'an asked Lian Xin to go home and bring a large bag of vegetable seeds and distribute them to the military relatives who were watching.

Except for Sister-in-law Lin, these people are basically the family members of my father's subordinates, so I must win over them.

After everyone got the seeds, they thanked each other and went home to plant them.

In fact, there are also radishes and leeks locally, which are similar to those brought from Chang'an.

But local cabbage is different from those in the south. The ones here are more cold-resistant, larger, and easier to store.

Chang'an decided to cross-breed vegetables from the two places to see if a new variety could be produced.

"Miss Chang'an, we are going to pick up fungi in the forest tomorrow, will you go?" Sister-in-law Lin did not leave and kept observing Chang'an.

Chang'an watered the radishes by himself and said without raising his head: "Go!"

It is said that there are precious medicinal materials in the mountains. Since someone invited me to go and have a look, if I find a ginseng tree, I will make a fortune.

Sister-in-law Lin's smile became even wider: "Then I'll go back and prepare. Miss Chang'an, you should also prepare. There are wild beasts in the mountains, so you must bring something for self-defense."

"Yes." Chang'an raised his head and asked, "Aunt Lin, how many of us are going?"

"Six, including you and me, there are six in total." Mrs. Lin said seriously: "It is dangerous to enter the forest without people. There are black bears and tigers in the forest." (End of Chapter)
