The farms in Peach Blossom Spring are now full of cattle, sheep, and pigs.
The scale of sheep farming has reached more than 2,000.
Almost every month, five or six new lambs are added.
Since last year, a sheep has been slaughtered every day and sent to the general store in Youzhou City for sale.
Some restaurants in Youzhou City also ordered from general stores.
However, no more than three sheep can be raised per day.
Such purchase restrictions, on the contrary, sparked a buying frenzy among the major restaurants and wealthy households in Youzhou City.
The pig farm has a large number of pigs, reaching more than 3,000.
Similarly, a pig had to be slaughtered every day and sent to the grocery store for sale.
In raising pigs and sheep, Li Lanzhen not only pays attention to the nutritional balance of feed, but also to the prevention and control of diseases in pigs and sheep.
The pens are cleaned daily, manure is removed promptly, and the pens are disinfected every day.
In the hot summer, the sheep also have to be quickly soaked in a medicinal pool for full-body disinfection.
Therefore, the pigs and sheep in Peach Blossom Spring are all healthy and energetic, and most importantly, their meat is more tender and delicious.
The number of chickens, ducks, and geese has always been controlled, otherwise there would be nowhere to raise them.
As a result, many chickens, ducks, and geese escaped their enclosures and ventured into the mountains and forests, becoming wild chickens, ducks, and geese.
One hundred chickens, ducks, and geese were slaughtered and delivered to general stores in Youzhou City every day for sale.
And so, they were all sold out before lunchtime every day.
The eggs from chickens, ducks, and geese are supplied year-round without any limit.
Pickled eggs also sell very well.
There are two kinds of fish in Peach Blossom Spring. One of them is the rice paddy fish, which is sold in large quantities in grocery stores every autumn.
The people of Youzhou City already know that the rice paddy fish produced in Peach Blossom Spring are delicious, and if they don't go to buy them early, they won't be able to buy them.
At this time of year, restaurants and wealthy families make reservations well in advance.
If you come too late, you won't be able to eat rice paddy fish this year. If you want to taste the freshness of peach blossom fish again, you'll have to wait until next autumn.
Besides rice paddy fish, the other fish are those produced in the reed marshes.
There is no purchase limit for this type of fish. There are two large water tanks in the grocery store, filled with live fish, which are caught and sold on the spot if needed.
In Peach Blossom Spring, cured meat is also made and sells very well.
However, the general stores in Youzhou City always supply fresh chicken, duck, goose, mutton and pork.
Therefore, preserved meats sell relatively slowly.
Therefore, these preserved meats were almost all sold to areas outside Youzhou City.
Seven years have passed, and the young people in Peach Blossom Spring who were meant to get married have all done so. And many have even become parents.
More than a hundred veterans also found wives and started families here.
They live a happy and peaceful life here.
Therefore, they spared no effort when working.
If you have any good suggestions or discover any problems, report them to the village committee in a timely manner.
They cherish this place as their own home.
As Master Xu grew old, Li Lanzhen recruited three more scholars.
The three scholars, for various reasons, did not want to participate in the imperial examination.
So families all came to Peach Blossom Spring to become teachers.
There are now more children in the school, both boys and girls are learning there.
The boys all wanted to participate in scientific expeditions to change their fate.
The girls all take Miaomiao and Zhihua as role models, wanting to study hard, become female shopkeepers, earn money to support themselves, their families, and their parents.
Similarly, girls here no longer start discussing marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and get married at the age of 15.
Parents understand this and want to keep their daughters at home to enjoy a few more years of happiness, to pamper them, and to learn more skills so that they can stand up for themselves when they go to their husbands' homes.
Thanks to the help of Li Lanzhen and Xuan Shen, the Xu family has been exonerated.
The imperial court returned their property in Qinzhou.
However, neither Master Xu nor Zhihua wanted to leave Youzhou City or Peach Blossom Spring.
So he sold all his property in Qinzhou and bought a house and shops in Youzhou.
Zhihua manages all of their family's businesses.
Zhihua is the manager of Li Lanzhen's teahouse, but that doesn't stop her from managing the three shops in her own family.
Seeing how capable Zhihua was, Master Xu was always cheerful.
He said he wanted to cherish his excellent grandson-in-law, and most importantly, not interfere with Zhihua's life.
Master Xu also said that once he had settled his granddaughter Zhihua, he could die in peace.
Li Lanzhen even joked with him, saying that Master Xu could live for another 20 years without any problem.
Because Li Lanzhen visited the school almost every day, she replaced all the drinking water with spiritual spring water.
She also took the Rongyang Pills made from Scrophularia in the space's medicinal field and gave them to Master Xu to take.
Therefore, Li Lanzhen concluded that Master Xu was in excellent health.
At the end of that year, the current emperor, Emperor Jinyuan, abdicated in favor of the crown prince.
The 16-year-old Crown Prince Le Ruihao ascended the throne. Because he took the throne at the end of the old year, the new year began with the reign title Jin Tai 1st year.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he readjusted the official positions and personnel of various departments of the court.
Han Mingxiang became the youngest Minister of Revenue in the history of two dynasties.
Han Yinan's children will participate in the provincial examination the following autumn.
According to Han Mingxiang, these three children would undoubtedly be able to enter the palace examination.
Just as the people of Peach Blossom Spring were joyfully preparing for the New Year.
Su Beisheng, the chief eunuch serving Emperor Jintai, arrived at Peach Blossom Spring with an imperial edict and a dozen guards.
Su Beisheng announced the imperial edict, in which Emperor Jingtai bestowed upon Li Lanzhen the title of Lady Shu, a third-rank imperial consort.
Li Lanzhen knelt down to express her gratitude, holding the imperial edict in both hands and carefully placing it on the altar in her home.
Along with the imperial edict came the rewards for the retired emperor and empress dowager.
There wasn't much gold or silver; it was mostly gold, silver, and jade jewelry, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, and jade antiques.
Li Lanzhen discovered a land deed among the gifts bestowed upon her by Emperor Jingtai.
It was also her most satisfying reward.
Emperor Jingtai actually granted her the land deeds for Lishu Village and the surrounding mountains for her private ownership.
Li Lanzhen seemed to see mountains full of grain, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.
Su Beisheng stayed in Peach Blossom Spring for three days.
With a boatload of grain, vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese, more than a hundred animals, three sheep, and two pigs, they left Peach Blossom Spring and returned to the capital.
On the 28th day of the Lunar New Year, a large ship sailed into Peach Blossom Spring and docked at the small pier with eleven trees.
At this moment, Li Lanzhen was sorting medicinal herbs in that small medicinal valley in Xishan.
Then she heard Han Yibo and Shui Wang shouting for her.
She quickly put the medicinal herbs into her spatial storage.
They crossed the river carrying baskets on their backs.
The two children couldn't wait to tell her.
"Grandma, Grandma, come home quickly! My third uncle is back with my younger brother and sister. My maternal grandparents, my uncle and aunt are also back with my younger brother."
Shui Wang also quickly reported to her.
"Grandma, let's go home quickly. A lot of people have come and are carrying a lot of things down from the boat."
Li Lanzhen's steps also became lighter.
She knew that everyone in the capital had returned home for the New Year.
This is the first time Han Mingxiang has come back for the Chinese New Year since she left.
Han Minghai, her parents, and the people from the various shops in Youzhou City had already returned on the 26th day of the Lunar New Year.
It seems this year's Lunar New Year will be a grand reunion.
Oh, Han Mingjiang's family hasn't come back yet. She raised her hand and stroked Han Yibo's little head.
His parents aren't around, so she, as his grandmother, is the only one who can truly cherish him.
