Great Blue Night Watchman

Chapter 261 The fragrance of osmanthus

Lin Su smiled and said: "You Qianjimen are really good people. You haven't developed some commonly used equipment, so your husband always picks up leaks... There is a water-fetching equipment called a waterwheel. Come on, let me draw a picture for you, please. Although it is simple to install by people, it is also a unique scenery when used on this riverside."

Together with his hands, he drew a sketch of a waterwheel...

Sister Chen’s eyes are bright...

Each wife also has a preference for what her husband-in-law writes. Lu Yi likes his lyrics, An Ye likes his novels, and Sister Chen likes some lines the most...

As soon as this sketch came out, the structure was extremely simple, but the reason behind it was very mysterious.

There are two types of waterwheels. One is placed in still water and requires human or animal power to drive. One is placed in flowing water and does not require human power. It can naturally lift water to high altitudes with the help of water flow.

This is the Yangtze River, so naturally we adopt the second method.

After Lin Su explained carefully, the three women all blushed.

"No wonder the people on the river beach are looking forward to my husband's arrival day and night. Every time he comes, he always brings what they want..." Sister Chen said: "I'm going to make a waterwheel. Two sisters, you can accompany me." With my husband."

Ran!

The man in green raised his gaze and said, "Mr. Chen, Sister Chen got what she wanted. You have to prepare something for me too."

Lin Su stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulders: "Baby, what do you want?"

Lu Yi smiled softly: "Go to Yishui North Beach, you will definitely be surprised, and then, you are willing to give me what I want..."

Arriving at Yishui North Beach, Lin Su was really surprised.

What did he see?

In a large osmanthus forest, it is now the end of August, and the fragrance of osmanthus is the norm. However, how long have these osmanthus been planted?

When he left home for Beijing, the sweet-scented osmanthus seedlings had just arrived. How could they be so big? All of them grew to a height of one foot, and they bloomed in the same year?

Three hundred miles of land, with the fragrance of osmanthus and the northern beach of Yishui River, is not like what everyone said, it will turn into a big garden sooner or later, but it has already turned into a big garden.

This unscientific!

"Do you know how this is formed?" Lu Yi took a deep breath, leaned next to her husband, and looked at him with her charming big eyes.

Lin Su slowly retracted his gaze: "This is really a miracle. You must tell me how it was formed?"

Green Yi said: "This has to start with you seducing His Majesty the Demon Emperor. It is said that His Majesty the Demon Emperor is really loyal to our husband..."

On the day Lin Su left the capital, the Yao Clan sent seeds and osmanthus seedlings. The demand for these osmanthus seedlings was still very high. The Qingqiu Fox Clan knew that it was Lin Su who wanted it, so they sent a large part of it, and A princess was also sent to bring the essence of the demon clan's ten thousand trees. A drop of it was placed under each tree, and the osmanthus tree grew to a height of ten feet overnight...

"Jiu'er is out of seclusion?" Lin Su was so excited.

Lu Yi smiled softly: "I had known for a long time that the Prime Minister would directly think of the Ninth Princess. In fact, it was not the case. It was the Eighth Princess who came. She said that the Ninth Princess is currently attacking the Demon King Realm... The Ninth Princess will definitely come to see her as soon as she comes out of seclusion. Mr. Zhanhu, don’t be anxious, just give me a gift. This sweet-scented osmanthus tree is full of flowers. Our sweet-scented osmanthus perfume is about to be born. The perfume bottles are ready over there. We are just waiting for your poems to launch our new perfume... "

Lin Su smiled: "Is that easy? Poetry or lyrics?"

OMG, ordering your own food? Green clothes almost stopped breathing: "Ci!"

Lin Su raised his hand and the gold paper came out. He picked up the precious pen and started writing directly:

"Partridge Sky. Osmanthus"

"The body is dark and light yellow, the body is soft, the traces of love are far away, only the fragrance remains, why do you need light green and light red? It is the best among flowers. The plum blossoms are jealous, the chrysanthemums should be ashamed, the painting is in full bloom, the Mid-Autumn Festival is crowned, the poet can be ruthless, what's the matter? Didn’t you see any gains back then?”

At the end of the poem, the colorful light filled the osmanthus garden, and the cinnamon fragrance of the osmanthus garden floated hundreds of miles away. For a moment, the green clothes were completely addicted...

Cui Ying's face was flushed next to her. She was once a talented girl in Yizhou. Her mother once told her that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. You must not rely on your own talent and look down on others. That will only bring disaster to you.

She always remembered her mother's words. When she entered the Lin family, she did the work of a maid and used all her talents to hide herself. But now, she suddenly realized that she didn't need to do this at all. She was talented in green clothes and was still her husband's favorite. Talent is truly unparalleled in the world.

"Ms. sir, this is a brand new song!" Luyi murmured.

"It's not entirely new, maybe 80% new... I opened a soap factory in the capital this time, and I once wrote a song using Partridge Sky as a lyric card."

"What is it written? Let me listen..."

"Their soap is named: Jade Skin... So what I wrote is... I am not afraid of the slight frost on the jade skin, and I hate that there is no running water to illuminate the ice shape. I looked at it from the beginning and saw the first branch in the southeast for the first time; after the people left, the snow When it is sunny, the spring scenery from Longtou arrives late, so you are a guest in front of the flowers. Don't blame me for being so diligent in writing poems."

The man in green chanted softly: "The jade skin soap is the first to be seen in the southeast, and our perfume is naturally the best among flowers... My husband, you have these wonderful words, you really don't need a woman to live, you are the three most talented women in the capital." , are they all dumped? Have you accepted one or two? "

Lin Su glanced at her and said, "I accept your sister?"

Green clothes ran away: "The ground is full of flowers and trees, which is especially suitable for my husband to play with the phoenixes and phoenixes. I won't disturb you. I will make a perfume bottle..."

Taking the brand-new colorful manuscript and running to perfect her perfume project, only Lin Su and Cui Ying were left...

Under the flower tree on the other side, there are two girls. They are weeding under the flower tree. At this moment, they are all hiding behind the tree, looking quietly towards this side.

"Sister Yao'er, is it really that the Third Young Master is here?" The girl's face was red. The Third Young Master is the god of Jiangtan. Everyone is eager to see him. He is really here...

But what happened to sister Yaoer? Why are your eyes straight?

Yao'er whispered: "Sister Ying'er is following him, ah..."

Lin Su gently reached out and plucked a naughty osmanthus petal from Cui Ying's hair. Cui Ying looked up at him, her eyes full of shyness and timidity, which stunned the two women watching.

"Could it be that Sister Ying'er... has become... his?" Yao'er's face turned red.

"Sister Ying'er is so happy. She came from the capital. Why is she so lucky...Sister Yao'er, you have such a good relationship with her, why don't you go over and have a word with her? I heard that the third young master is treating his own woman The best thing is, as long as Sister Ying'er says a word, won't we be able to reach the sky in one step?"

Yao'er shook her head gently: "Don't! It's hard for Sister Ying'er to get what she is today. How can she make arbitrary demands without making the young master unhappy? Let's go over there..."

Cui Ying didn't see Yao'er, and she was in a frenzy...

After coming out of the Lin Mansion today, Lu Yi and Sister Chen obviously knew that... they were wanted by him, and they regarded themselves as people of the same level.

Now the two of them left Xianggong's side one after another, and Xianggong took him through the flower forest. Everything was as beautiful as a dream.

She has already forgotten everything...

Lin Su held her hand and walked through the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. She also saw countless people weeding in the fields. Osmanthus was the mainstream. There were sweet-scented osmanthus in all three hundred miles of wasteland, but there were also others under the sweet-scented osmanthus trees, such as purple osmanthus. Sue, rosemary, cinnamon, lavender…

However, these spices do not use the essence of the demon clan's ten thousand trees, and they lack water and grow very slowly. They are only small seedlings at the moment. This year's perfume can only add the new variety of osmanthus.

But given time, this river beach will become a beautiful garden.

Above is a popular scene of dam construction. A group of men are shouting slogans and carrying huge rocks up to the reservoir dam. Below, there is a group of people surrounding them. An old man is in the middle. He has a flying white beard and is holding a gold paper and precious pen. I wrote a big word: "Light!"

Two men lifted up a huge boulder in front of them that weighed several kilograms and ran quickly towards the reservoir dam.

The whole crowd exploded, shouting: "Master Yang, please write a few more..."

The old man in the middle was annoyed: "Still writing? Do you know how much a piece of gold paper costs? I'm not as poor as your third son. I help you build the reservoir and you still ask me to pay for it. Is it natural?"

An old man next to him smiled: "Sir, who made you so close to the people? Everyone is making fun of you. Sir, just sit back and ignore them. At this time, they are full and can't think of doing anything? There is no way!"

Lin Su was shocked and realized that the old man sitting in the crowd was really Magistrate Yang.

The dignified magistrate is actually sitting among a group of people with mud legs. He looks like a farmer. Where is his official uniform? Oh, I saw it. I took it off and put it next to him under the supervision of Captain Sun.

Magistrate Yang raised the paper in his hand: "There are only a few pieces of gold paper. I will write three more pieces and you will stick the three big stones on them... I actually used Wendaoweili to build the reservoir. If it were spread, it would be an official joke. What’s even more ridiculous is that this land is not my jurisdiction at all!”

A bunch of people cheered: "Sir, please move over here."

"Yes, we, 100,000 refugees from Beitan, Yishui, jointly submitted a letter requesting the imperial court to transfer Mr. Yang here..."

"This is not possible. Mr. Yang is the prefect of Haining. If you dare to do this, we, the 200,000 people on the Haining River Beach, will fight with you..."

This person is obviously from Haining River Beach.

Yes, someone will help you soon. Don't go too far in Yishui Beitan. The third son is helping you build your home, but you still want to poach our best prefect. Jane is really...

"Ah, Third Young Master!" someone shouted.

Countless people's eyes turned to him at the same time, and Lin Su was discovered at once. He was directly at the forefront of the storm, and the whole place was boiling...

Cui Ying's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly took a few steps away, but she couldn't bear to go far...

"Third Young Master, you are here!" Magistrate Yang stood up happily: "The osmanthus trees are all over the mountains and fields, and the osmanthus is about to be harvested. The villagers have a question that they are embarrassed to ask. I will help them ask it. These osmanthus are harvested. , is there any salary?"

Regarding the issue of wages, folks are really not easy to ask.

Some women are also asking.

But he also got scolded for asking.

Some knowledgeable people directly scolded them, "You are all refugees originally. It is God's mercy that you can survive."

The third young master spent tens of thousands of taels of money to rent this land, for whom?

Who is spending a lot of money to build a reservoir for?

The 100,000 refugees in Beitan, Yishui, should help the Third Young Master for the rest of their lives. I don’t care whether you white-eyed wolves mention it, but if my mother-in-law dares to mention wages, I will tear her mouth apart...

Therefore, the matter of wages was suppressed, but Magistrate Yang himself wanted to know.

He stands tall and sees far, knowing that the ultimate crux of the refugee problem is livelihood. Free labor is morally acceptable, but in the end it does not solve the problem of livelihood...

Lin Su was a little confused...

Is there something that was not explained clearly in the early stage?

Lin Su raised his gaze and met tens of thousands of expectant eyes...

Lin Su: "Didn't I make it clear? Why do you still ask for wages?"

Everyone was heartbroken, as expected, there was no wages...

Lin Su added: "Didn't you read the agreement? It's clearly written in the agreement. In the early stage, everyone has their own osmanthus jurisdiction. Each person harvests the osmanthus in their jurisdiction and sells it to me. I charge per hundred kilograms of flowers. Purchased at the price of 1 tael of silver. You are harvesting your own flowers, and you still want me to pay you? It’s unreasonable, right?”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent...

Magistrate Yang's eyes suddenly widened: "My own flowers? Sell them to you?"

"yes!"

"But...but you paid for the flower seeds and sweet-scented osmanthus seedlings in the early stage, and you rented this place..." Yang Zhifu was extremely surprised: "If you do this, aren't you giving away the early investment for free?" To the villagers?"

"What's the point? It's normal to pay some investment in the early stage for the sake of later profits. Are you still worried that I won't be able to make back the cost after collecting these flowers?"

Magistrate Yang murmured: "I'm really not worried about this! Folks, you can cheer now. Our third son's kindness to the folks is ten times greater than expected!"

Everyone looked at each other, still not understanding. They seemed to understand a little, but they just couldn't believe it.

Zhou Yang asked tentatively: "Sir, you mean...the income from these osmanthus trees we contracted earlier belongs to the villagers themselves, and you still have to pay for them?"

"certainly!"

"Young Master!" Zhou Yang knelt down with a bang: "Young Master's benevolence and righteousness, Zhou Yang is overwhelmed with admiration! Folks, thank you, Third Young Master..."

The crowd suddenly exploded...

They originally contracted a piece of wasteland, and in order to repay the Third Young Master, they managed it very carefully. This year's harvest was also very good, but everyone had an outsider mentality. These flowers belong to the Third Young Master! They just help with management. As for the agreement, no one really read it. Nine out of ten refugees are illiterate. Who can understand the agreement? People who can understand the agreement don't believe it at all, and they don't dare to mention it to everyone.

But today, the third young master gave them a clear explanation: these flowers are all their own, and the third young master bought them with money!

In this way, everyone in Yishui Beitan has a livelihood, and they can all live well by relying on these flowers and trees.

The flowers of the flowering trees bloom every year, and their livelihood is also a long-lasting one.

All the local tyrants and evil gentry in the world, come and take a look. Have you ever seen such a boss?

Yishui North Beach is so lucky...

"The flowers are ready to be harvested now. Let's harvest them. Uncle Deng, please arrange to bring enough money to receive the goods on site."

Dumbledore stood at attention: "Yes!"

The division of labor began, and the first great harvest of Yishui Beitan began with great enthusiasm.
