"Smack."
"A bunch of useless trash, still haven't found that place called Peach Blossom Spring?!"
Go find it quickly, it's near Youzhou City. Send out more people to search!
Make sure you get those sweet potatoes and potatoes, and bring them all back to me.
Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!
In a study of a grand mansion in Beijing, a man in his thirties, overweight with a slightly protruding belly, was yelling fiercely at a man kneeling on the floor in front of the desk.
The man kneeling on the ground had his forehead cut by a teacup that was thrown at him, and blood was flowing freely. He didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, and answered with his head down.
"Yes, Master! I'll take care of it right away. Here's the good news."
Li Lanzhen had no idea that thousands of miles away, someone was eyeing her sweet potatoes and potatoes and even wanted to kill her!
But even if she knew, she wasn't afraid at all.
Anyone who dares to enter Peach Blossom Spring and wants to die, may he have his wish granted!
Not to mention, she is very confident now, with the Crown Prince and the Emperor standing behind her.
In the Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon, all arable land has been fully cultivated to date.
Zhang Deshui estimated that there should be more than 20,000 mu of dry land, close to 3,000 mu.
Several acres of land have been reclaimed from the paddy fields.
Not all of this land is fertile. One-third of both dry land and paddy fields are thin and infertile.
Dry land has a high sand content, so fertilization and land improvement will need to be carried out continuously from this winter to the beginning of next year.
At the village committee meeting, Li Lanzhen made demands on Zhang Deshui, Han Dazhong, and their team.
Yes, it's a team.
This term was proposed by Li Lanzhen at a village committee meeting, referring to two teams: one for grain cultivation and the other for vegetable cultivation.
Livestock farming and poultry farming are also handled by two separate teams.
The team leaders are Zhang Deshui and Han Dazhong.
Both of them considered literacy when selecting assistants and team members.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in following behind them to record and plan.
Li Lanzhen asked Zhang Desheng to make a plan for all the dry land and paddy fields in Taohuayuan Grand Canyon.
Ideally, there should be a map showing in detail the soil conditions of each section of land and the types of grains and vegetables that can be grown.
They were also asked to develop a detailed plan on how to fertilize the barren land.
The same thing happened at the farm; Li Lanzhen asked Han Dazhong's team to screen all the livestock and poultry.
Accurately record the types, numbers, and living conditions of livestock and poultry, including how many are pregnant...
Be fully aware of the situation.
We also need to estimate the scale that can be achieved next year.
The planting of grains and vegetables and the scale of animal husbandry in Peach Blossom Spring all require a detailed plan.
Li Lanzhen thought to herself that next year would be the beginning of a bumper harvest for grain planting and animal husbandry in Taohuayuan.
She was somewhat looking forward to it!
Since Wu and Han Yuemei left, Li Lanzhen has been managing the small medicine valley in the western mountains of Peach Blossom Spring.
Sometimes when she was thinking, or when she encountered a problem, or even when she missed modern life, she would go to that little medicine valley and sit there for a whole day.
The rich aroma of herbs filled the air, making Li Lanzhen feel inexplicably at ease and comfortable.
Having been here for more than three years, Li Lanzhen has fully integrated into this society and completely merged with her original identity.
She also loved Han Minghai's children and grandchildren as if they were her own.
Whether it was the Han Mingjiang family who left her for the southwestern border, or the Han Mingxiang and Han Yuemei families in the capital.
Or perhaps, even with Han Minghai busy by her side, she still cared about them and missed them just the same…
And they have made many arrangements for their future so that they can live a carefree life without worrying about money.
The road leading to Lishu Village was finally completed just before the snowfall.
On this day, adults and children walked along this road together, and Peach Blossom Spring and Pear Tree Village were as lively as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Those who went out along this road to exchange for silver were baskets and baskets of bright yellow pears.
After the pears were picked, the ones that looked good, were large, and had an orange-yellow color were put into baskets.
They were transported by horse-drawn carriage and oxcart to the small dock of Eleven Trees, loaded onto a boat, and then taken to a general store for sale.
The second batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Peach Blossom Spring have all been dug up and sent to the vermicelli factory.
Five days ago, all the green corn was picked and divided into two parts. One half was sent to the grocery store for sale, and the other half was given to Manager Hua.
So right now, the people of Taohuayuan are busy working in the vegetable greenhouses.
"Ta-da! Ta-da!"
Just after breakfast that day, suddenly, a sharp warning bell rang at the mouth of the Peach Blossom Spring River.
"Oh no! Enemies are coming!"
The word "enemy" refers to anyone who wants to intrude into the Peach Blossom Spring!
Da Leizi immediately summoned his guards and rushed to the river mouth guard post.
Li Lanzhen was still in that small valley. She picked all the medicinal herbs she could and put them into her space, thinking that one day she would give them to Xuan Shen to make pills or powder.
Suddenly, I heard the bell ringing.
He immediately took off running towards the river mouth guard post.
Upon arriving, they saw that Da Leizi and his men had already raised their bows and arrows and were shouting loudly.
"Who goes there? This is private property, no one is allowed to approach! Turn your ship back, or you will face the consequences!!"
Li Lanzhen quickly went up the steps to the river mouth guard post.
After continuous renovations, a wall was erected on top of the guard post.
There was a pass in the stone wall, so people below could shoot arrows in this direction, while people from Peach Blossom Spring could hide behind it and also shoot arrows down from the pass.
Li Lanzhen looked through the gap and was surprised to see three large ships approaching!
Moreover, each ship's deck was packed with people; a quick glance revealed about 20 people, and the three ships together had 60, not including those hiding in the cabins!
She narrowed her eyes and immediately spoke to the monkeys behind her.
"Go to the training camp in the back mountain and find Xuan Shen. Tell him about the situation here."
At this moment, a man dressed in black, standing among a group of people on the second ship, raised his head and spoke.
"We are from the Ministry of Works in the capital. Why don't you open the gates and let us in?"
Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
Li Lanzhen noticed that he seemed very relaxed while speaking, but they, standing at such a height, could clearly hear the pronunciation of every word he uttered.
This person has a loud voice; he must be a master martial artist!
It seems they came prepared. What are they here for?
Kidnapping people? The prince and princess aren't here.
Could it be that someone has come to steal the medicine from the Medicine Valley?
Or did you come for the sweet potatoes and potatoes?
That can't be true!
Lost in thought, the person below spoke again.
“I’ve already given you chances, but you’ve blocked us here time and time again, preventing us from getting in. So don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Archers, prepare to fire!
Just as Li Lanzhen was about to shout for them to take cover, Da Leizi made a sound.
"Everyone take cover! Prepare your bows and arrows and drive the enemy away!"
