Chapter 434 Thriving

The firearms camp has become a unique existence, and everyone on duty in the camp is enviable.

Chen Fan looked at the folding fan in his hand and slapped Zhang Ci proudly: "How is it?"

"Very good!" Zhang Ci's exaggeration was simple and simple.

"It's just too labor-intensive, there are so many processes." Chen Zhongliang sighed.

"It takes a lot of effort to imitate." Chen Zhongyan opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, opening and closing it again, having a great time.

Chen Fan said: "You can draw your favorite pictures on the fans and write your favorite poems."

Chen Zhongyan put the fan in front of her: "The eldest sister made this for us herself. Of course, the eldest sister will paint the picture and write the poem."

Chen Fan grabbed the fan and tapped his hand lightly: "Don't you think I'm tired enough?"

Chen Zhongyan said with a smile: "Then let's be tired for a while."

Chen Fan picked up the pen, drew a picture of "Bamboo and Stone", and wrote a poem: "Stick to the green mountains and never let go. The roots are still in the broken rocks. After thousands of hardships, they are still strong, regardless of the east, west, north, south wind."

"This looks like it was given to my brother-in-law." Chen Zhongyan snorted.

Chen Fan smiled, continued to draw bamboo, and then wrote a poem: "Wild bamboos grow on stones, and the smoke reflects on the river islands. The green color falls deep in the waves, and the empty voice carries the cold morning. I have never heard the dragon sing, but the phoenix can play the song well. Don't learn from the Pu Liu Wither, chastity and self-preservation."

Chen Zhongyan realized now: "Do you want all three fans to be painted with bamboo?"

"Yes, everyone is the same." Chen Fan nodded and began to draw the third fan: "People are born thin because of pity, and they are expected to be more talented as they grow older. They once shared the rain and dew with the wormwood, and finally followed the pines and cypresses to the frost."

Chen Zhongliang looked at the three fans: "I feel that the fans are too small. These poems and paintings should be made of large rice paper and hung on the wall to be more imposing."

Chen Fan also made fans for Yue Zidan and Chen Yue, which were very delicate styles and soaked in perfume.With one blow, several men retreated, making Yue Zidan laugh.

The three of them chose the fans.Chen Fan asked them: "Who are you giving the fans you made by yourself?"

Zhang Ci stretched out a hand: "My father, brother and brother-in-law seem to be having a hard time."

Chen Zhongliang was a little sad: "Third brother and the others are all far away, and they can't send them that far for a while."

Chen Zhongyan frowned: "I kind of want to give it away, but I really don't want to."

Yue Zidan's fan was naturally made for Guan Shanyan.

A lot of materials have been made, and Zhang Ci and the others polished them by themselves and put them aside.They started making the fan step by step.

Yue Zidan admired the fan in his hand: "This is an emerging industry. In addition to farming, it seems that the people in Huacheng can also have a craft."

Chen Fan nodded: "The people of Huacheng must be made rich." She also has to make money.

The workshop has been built and the craftsmen are in place. The next step is assembly line production, and then the finished products are made by the confidants.

The tea garden area in Huacheng has expanded again.The picking and frying of Mingqian tea was intensive and orderly. Many old people and children participated in the tea picking work and earned some money.

Yue Zidan looked at the tea trees all over the mountain and felt happy: "The elderly and children can't do any heavy physical work, so tea picking is suitable for them. Some people can pick it very neatly. But it is quite tiring at the end of the day."

Chen Fan smiled: "It takes a whole day to plant and harvest rice." "Will the new tea garden over there be ready for picking next year?" Yue Zidan asked her.

"Yes, that's white tea over there, and it has a different taste." Chen Fan was full of anticipation.

The mulberries on the tree are ripe and hanging.The children climbed up the trees to pick mulberries. The highest climbers were Chen Xiao and Guan Chengyang.

Yue Zidan shouted to the tree: "Xiao'er, why do you climb higher than your brother?"

"Because they are two people, and I alone occupy my mother's belly, I grow very strong."

"Then why doesn't my brother climb as high as you?"

"Because he is one year younger than me."

Chen Xiao picked mulberries, but felt that it was not enough, so he went to chase the chickens in the mulberry garden.He grabbed one in one hand and said, "Look at how fat the chickens I caught are! One will be stir-fried and the other stewed in soup tonight."

Yue Zidan was surprised: "Such a small hand can hold such a big chicken?"

We picked a lot of mulberries, and the children ate them until their hands and mouths were all black.

Chen Fan likes to eat mulberries, but he doesn't eat much and his teeth are sore.He told Zhang Ci to eat more, and Zhang Ci looked at her with a faint smile: "You tell me to eat more every year, but I don't feel any stronger after eating it."

Chen Fan's ears felt hot: "I'm afraid that your liver and kidneys are insufficient, and your blood and essence are deficient, which will lead to backache, tinnitus, and premature graying of beard and hair."

Zhang Ci grabbed a handful of mulberries and put them in front of her: "Eat some more to nourish yin and blood. I'm also afraid that you will have a sore back and tinnitus, and will develop premature hair."

After finishing the Mingqian tea, the next step was the Yuqian tea.The tea gardens are busy, the farmland is busy, those picking mulberry and raising silkworms are busy, and those in the workshops are also busy.Chen Fan feels that there are too few manpower. The current population is far from enough for the vigorous development of productivity.

Zhang Ci flicked her forehead: "Some workshops have opened to neighboring countries and have recruited people there to work. How many more people do you want to migrate here? Let their people make money. They are very I'm happy. If you turn these people over, the government over there will be in trouble with you."

"It's not impossible to come to Huacheng to earn money and then go back to spend money. Many people went to Changping Township to farm." Chen Fan said, "Now there are no more troublesome fights, and fishermen can fish with peace of mind. Restaurants everywhere The fish, shrimp and crab dishes are very popular. We need to expand the scale of fish farming and attract more fishermen from neighboring countries to fish and transport them back to Qiao and Lu for sale."

In addition to the aquatic plants and plankton in the lake, Chen Fan also asked people to plant ryegrass and pinegrass on the lakeside to raise fish. Silkworm excrement and silk reeling wastewater were also used to raise fish.In such a large lake, even if pearls cannot be raised, fish, shrimp and crab farming must become an important industry.

The fruits in the mountains grow very well, the loquats are bright yellow, the pears are particularly moist, and the plums are sour and sweet. There are merchants from Qingyang County and Linnan County to wholesale them.The two counties and Hwaseong have become friendly and cooperative counties.Nowadays, there is no need to go around the river to do business with Qingyang County. You can reach it directly along the lake; you can also go to Linnan County by land and take the Luhe River.

The few villages on the other side of the lake were unified by Chu State.Chen Fan did not do business with Chu State, firstly because it was too far, and secondly, to show his closeness and respect for Qiao State and Lu State.

Chen Fan tried to grow a batch of strawberries, which was enough for his own family to eat, and then gave them away to reward officials.Yue Zidan felt a little distressed: "This thing is too delicate and expensive. It will break if touched even slightly. It is not suitable for long-distance transportation. It is not easy for them to cook on their own."

Modern strawberry cultivation is done in greenhouses, and there are also glass houses with steel frame structures and various equipment that require greater investment.Just plant some here and have fun.Rare things are valuable, and gifts and rewards are even more valuable.

The first batch of fans are made.Chen Fan and Zhang Ci randomly checked a dozen of them and were very satisfied.

Chen Zhongyan said: "If you have a good meal, you are not afraid of being late. Making fans now is the time when shipping is convenient." Merchant ships can pass from Yuan Lake through the Lu River, directly to the Huai River, and then to the capital of Xia Kingdom.

Large ships sailed to the capital carrying fans, tea and other commodities.

The news about Guan Shanyan finally came.
