No war in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 55 Taohuawu Upgrades Again (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Some people in the mansion were in a panic. After Su Ze returned to the mansion, the managers quickly gathered around him.

Zhang Yaozuo's wife had passed away long ago, and his son was studying in his hometown. Everyone in the mansion knew that Su Ze was a capable man, and they were all looking at Su Ze at this time.

Su Ze and Zhang Yaozuo usually call each other uncle and nephew, and now it is time for this nephew to make the decision.

Su Ze called the manager and said to him:
"Arrange a shift. The menial workers will take turns patrolling tonight. Have capable people guard the front and back doors, and assign people to guard the inner courtyard as well. Everyone, work hard all night. Wait for Uncle Shi to come back and give him a reward."

With Su Ze's words, everyone felt more confident. Su Ze then followed the steward on another round of inspection and added patrol servants to several weak areas. The people in the mansion quickly calmed down.

Only when Su Ze returned to the house did he have the chance to take out a book. He locked the door, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and entered the Peach Blossom Land.

[Congratulations to the Taoyuan Master! You've collected 200 points of Cultural Qi!]

Two hundred points!
Su Ze was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that the collection of essays from this gathering would be so valuable!

Come to think of it, two seats were occupied by the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song at this gathering. The fact that Wang Gui was accepted as a disciple by Ouyang Xiu shows that he must have achieved great literary attainments.

Yang Zong and Han Jiang were able to rank in the top category, which shows that they were quite capable. The collections of essays written by this group of people are naturally of great value.

"absorb!"

Su Ze chose to absorb the cultural energy. When he saw that the balance of cultural energy had reached 245 points, Su Ze decisively chose to spend 50 points of cultural energy to upgrade Taohuawu.

The guide boy took out a pen, handed it to Su Ze and said:

[Please, Master Taoyuan, click on the spiritual energy to complete the upgrade! ]

Su Ze tapped on the scroll, and a gust of wind blew by, and Taohuawu changed immediately!
I saw that the Taohuawu pier had expanded again. In reality, it was the Flower Festival. The pier was filled with various bouquets of flowers, and fallen petals were floating on the river.

A willow tree rises from the ground, stretching from the shore to Taohuawu, with green willow branches swaying outside the pavilion.

Seeing such a refreshing scene, Su Ze opened the scroll in his hand, and sure enough, more buildings appeared after the upgrade.

First is the basic building, [Medium Farmland] (green) followed by [Superior Farmland] (blue).

There are also more options for planting, such as [Half-Mountain Tea Field] (blue) for planting tea trees, [Mulberry Garden] (blue) for planting mulberry trees, [Mountain Orchard] (blue) for planting fruits and vegetables, and [Mountain Medicinal Field] (blue) for planting medicinal herbs.

Su Ze couldn't take his eyes off them, it was a pity that the prices were too expensive, requiring 15 points of cultural energy per acre.

In addition to the fields, there have also been updates in breeding.

After the [Free-range Chicken House] (green), there is also the [Intensive Chicken House] (blue) building option, as well as upgraded buildings for the breeding industry such as the [Intensive Pig House] (blue).

In addition, there is a new building called [Linpan Fishery] (blue), but the [Musk Deer Garden] where Azhi mentioned that musk can be obtained did not appear. It should be a higher-level building.

There are several more options for agricultural product processing in the production buildings, and Su Ze can't help but want to build several of them.

First up is this.

【Coarse Silk Weaving Workshop】(Blue)

"Spring silkworms produce silk, and summer silkworms are raised to produce cocoons again."

Price: 15 points of cultural energy.

Features:

[Silk Weaving]: Able to raise silkworms and produce silk (requires [Mulberry Garden]).

In the feudal era, silk was not just a piece of cloth, but also a currency.

The price of a piece of silk is about the same as one string of coins, and in many cases it is even more stable than the value of copper coins.

This is not a [Coarse Silk Weaving Workshop] at all, it is clearly a mint for printing money!

However, the investment was still a bit too high. A mulberry garden required a one-time investment of thirty points of Wenmai Qi, and an additional ten points of Wenmai Qi per month were required to hire two spiritual boys.

If you just weave silk, the income will be slightly higher than farming.

But silk can be upgraded!

Su Ze saw the [Natural Dyeing Workshop] (blue), which is a facility for dyeing silk.

The price of dyed cloth is several times higher than that of ordinary white silk! It is also a hot commodity in Bianjing City.

In addition, although it did not appear this time, Su Ze felt that there should be more advanced brocade workshops, which is the craft of weaving flowers on silk.

Since the Three Kingdoms period, Shu has been a major producer of brocade. In the Tang Dynasty, Shu brocade was a sought-after commodity on the Silk Road. Today, Shu brocade is still a very valuable luxury item, and its price is dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary white silk.

If an industrial line can be established, the profit will be much higher than farming.

Another building that Su Ze covets is really drool-worthy.

【Neighborhood Shop】(Blue)

"A small shop is just about the size of the shop, not the quality of the food."

Price: 15 points of cultural energy.

Function: The shop is simple and can provide home-cooked food with simple production techniques. It can provide small home-cooked banquets every day, but cannot host larger banquets.

[Chef]: The quality of food is not only determined by ingredients and kitchen utensils. A good chef is the key to the taste of food. The quality of the food produced is affected by the ability of the chef.

In other words, if Su Ze can recruit high-quality chefs to take charge of cooking, he can still use this blue building to make delicious dishes.

You have to know that although the food in Bianjing is delicious, eating out is really too expensive. If you want to move out, daily meals will also be a huge expense.

With this [neighborhood shop], Su Ze can solve the problem of eating.

In addition, there are [Countryside Winery] (blue) and [Sugar Syrup Workshop] (blue).

However, selling privately brewed liquor is a crime. Su Ze is an official after all, and the liquor market in Bian Jing is well developed. If he only brews low-quality private liquor, he won't make much money.

The [Sugar Syrup Workshop] needs to be built, but it will have to wait until the sugarcane is harvested next month.

By the way, where are the upgraded special buildings?
The guiding boy took out three more drawings and said to Su Ze:

[Please choose your reward from these three drawings! ]

Or three? After the construction of the [Youfang Pavilion] last time, weren't there only two left?

Su Ze looked at the guiding boy. It seemed that this guy had hidden quite a few good drawings!
Su Ze looked again and found that the next upgrade would require 100 points of cultural energy. He still had a large number of buildings to build, so it would definitely take a long time to upgrade.

Doesn't this mean that after I make this choice, it will take a long time before I can get advanced drawings again?

Su Ze looked at the guiding boy and suddenly changed his tone and asked:
"Ayin, what do you like? If I give you something, can I get the blueprint?"

The guiding boy shuddered and said quickly:

【Ayin will be happy as long as Peach Blossom Land becomes better! 】

Su Ze continued, "So, as long as I develop Peach Blossom Land, you will give me gifts? Not just when I upgrade Peach Blossom Village?"

　Continue to add more
