Chapter 317 I'm here with Dunzi
"Mom, please bring some food with you. The journey is quite long. If you can't make it back by noon, you can eat on the way."
Li Lanzhen and her team are planning to go to Lishu Village for an on-site investigation today.
Let's see what the land conditions are like in Lishu Village, how much arable land there is, how many pear trees there are on the mountain, and what the fruit from the pear trees tastes like.
As soon as a few people left the dining room, Xue Nizi came running over shouting, carrying a backpack.
Han Minghai quickly took the backpack and put it on his back.
Shanxing, Sanwang and their eleven children are going together.
The others are Zhang Deshui, Han Minghai, Xuanshen and Hua Zhanggui.
The prince and Su Beisheng will also go with them.
The poison in the prince's body has now been completely eliminated, and he just needs to recuperate his body that has been damaged by the poison.
Bai Houpu couldn't figure out whether it was because the prince had a good physique, or because his own medicine-making skills were better, or because the herbs in Hulu Valley had better properties.
Anyway, the effect of the medicine for detoxifying the prince is surprisingly good!
Later, he suddenly realized that these herbs were brought to him by Scrophularia ningpoensis.
Later, he brought a few water bags.
He was repeatedly reminded that whenever he was decocting medicine or making pills for the prince, he must use this water.
If there is not enough water, tell him to go directly to Li Lanzhen for it.
His heart suddenly brightened up. This was right!
From the first time he met Li Lanzhen until he came here to live for such a long time.
I always feel that Li Lanzhen is a very mysterious woman.
Including so many buildings, grains, and vegetable seeds in Taohuayuan that he had never seen before.
The work-point system for village management also seemed novel to him!
After figuring this out, Bai Houpu felt very happy and relaxed.
He began to use his own method to analyze and identify the water in the water bag given by Li Lanzhen.
See if there are any special herbs added to it.
After several attempts, nothing was achieved.
Later he discovered that both the Scrophularia and the herbs Li Lanzhen sent him were much more effective than the herbs he picked in Hulu Valley!
He knew that this was the end of the matter. He would no longer pursue where they got the herbs. He would just make them into pills or medicinal soup for the prince to take.
These days, Li Lanzhen found an opportunity to give the prince and Su Beisheng water with half a pill of Daliwan in it.
After the two people drank the water, they woke up the next morning and felt full of energy. They felt that their martial arts had improved by 10%!
Su Beisheng opened his mouth to ask the prince the reason, but when he met the prince's stern gaze, he quickly shut up and never asked again.
Li Lanzhen thought twice before giving the prince the powerful pills.
Anyway, I have already saved his life, so I might as well give him some powerful kung fu again.
After all, he is the crown prince of a country. If he is in good health, he will be full of energy to govern the country and serve the people in the future.
So far, Li Lanzhen has found that the prince is a good person.
He is studious and inquisitive, and kind to everyone around him.
After he woke up, Li Lanzhen didn't know what to call him.
When no one was around, she would bow and call the prince, but was stopped by the prince the first time.
"Aunt Lanzhen, you are my savior. You can just call me Hao'er."
Li Lanzhen knew that the prince's name was Li Ruihao.
"Okay, Your Highness, I will call you Hao'er from now on."
The prince was particularly happy that day.
There were several guards following them. Two of them were the prince's guards, and the others were brought here by Xuan Shen and Manager Hua.
Lishu Village is located in the southeast of Taohuayuan.
To reach the big river, you have to cross a high mountain, so it is not convenient to take the water route from Lishu Village.
The only way to get out of the mountains and reach Youzhou City is by climbing over mountains and taking the mountain roads.
Fortunately, from Taohuayuan to Lishu Village, you just need to pass through a valley with two bends and climb over a small hill.
Standing on the small hill, you can see the hills surrounding Lishu Village, which are covered with pear trees.
At this time, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, with snow-white pear blossoms with a faint pink tint blooming in patches.
The wind blew over, bringing with it a faint scent of flowers.
"Shan Xing'er, how do the pears from these pear trees taste?"
"It tastes sweet, but the pear is very small. It's only as big as my fist."
Li Lanzhen held the hand of Shanxing who was standing beside her.
Mm, so small!
Sanwang raised his hand and pointed to a pear tree in the distance.
"Aunt, my grandfather said that the fruits of these pear trees are so sweet because there is an underground river here.
It is these river waters that nourish them, so the pears are sweet and thirst-quenching."
Sanwang turned and looked at Li Lanzhen, "Aunt, it would be better if we could graft these pear trees so that the pears are bigger!"
As the snow melted and the temperature rose, Li Lanzhen began to graft the peach trees in the peach forest.
These children also went to the peach forest in Taohuayuan and participated in the work of grafting peach trees.
They thought it was amazing and started discussing it enthusiastically when they returned to the yard where they lived.
"It would be great if we could graft all the pear trees in our village so that they would bear big, sweet pears!"
Li Lanzhen looked at the pear trees covering the hills and slopes in the distance.
"That's fine, but you have to wait until the pears are picked this year before you can do the grafting."
She had already thought about it in her mind. There were more than a dozen apple trees planted in the space. She thought that after grafting the apple trees and pear trees, the fruits would be big and sweet.
Zhang Deshui walked and observed, squatting down from time to time to grab a few handfuls of soil from the ground, pinch it, look at it, and smell it.
After entering the village, he said to Sanwang.
“Sanwang, there is very little arable land in Lishu Village, and the land is barren.
It was not easy for you to live in this village before!"
After hearing his words, the children thought of their parents and relatives, and their eyes became red.
Sanwang nodded and said, "Yes, the land in our Lishu Village is barren, and there is very little land available for growing food and vegetables.
So we took good care of the pear trees, picked the pears in the fall, and sold them in Youzhou City, and then bought grain to pay taxes. "
Everybody was silent. Life was indeed not easy for the people in Lishu Village!
Shanxing and the others brought everyone directly to the ancestral hall.
Sanwang took out the key from his chest and opened the door of the ancestral hall. The courtyard and hall inside were very clean.
The children were very skillful and drew water from the well in the ancestral hall courtyard and boiled water in the kitchen next door for everyone to drink.
After the ice and snow melted this year, Li Lanzhen asked Han Minghai to bring the children to clean the ancestral hall regularly.
She asked the children if they needed to put their ancestral tablets back in there.
After discussing it, the children told her not to leave it there for the time being because no one lived there and they were afraid it would be damaged by intruders.
Zhang Deshui drank half a bowl of water and said, "Although the land here is poor, it is no problem to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and soybeans.
I estimate that there are about 3000 acres of arable land here. It's just too barren."
"Okay, let's reclaim as much land as possible and plant sweet potatoes first, and then we can plant potatoes later." Li Lanzhen replied.
Shopkeeper Hua looked at Sanwang and asked, "Sanwang, how many households and courtyards are there in the village? How many families can live there?"
"Manager Hua, there are 13 households and 13 courtyards in total."
After Li Lanzhen saw that he had finished asking questions, she told the children.
"Shanxing, Sanwang, and the children, everyone in our Peach Blossom Land is registered in Lishu Village.
But it won’t work if no one lives here.
So I want to buy a few servants to live in this Pear Tree Village, grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and some beans, and take care of the pear trees on the mountain."
The children looked at each other and Sanwang nodded.
"Okay, Auntie, you decide."
"In this case, you can still place your ancestral archway in this ancestral hall.
I'll find someone to clean for you normally, or you can come once every ten days or so." Li Lanzhen suggested to them.
"I'll stay here and guard the ancestral hall!"
A boy stood up and spoke to everyone.
Li Lanzhen knew that the child's name was Dunzi. He had suffered from polio since childhood, so his legs had always been lame. He should be 15 years old this year.
"No, Dunzi, how can we feel at ease if you are here alone?"
"We agreed that we would advance and retreat together and not leave anyone behind!"
The other children also shook their heads, firmly disagreeing with him staying here alone.
Just as they were arguing fiercely, a girl spoke in a weak voice.
"I am here with Dunzi to guard the ancestral hall."
