After the road was repaired, the villagers threw themselves into the work of farming and Processing Factory.
Qin Mian used the small brick kiln to let the servants burn some of the green bricks. He then fixed up the road in front of Leisurely Dwelling House and used the green bricks to go along the wall from the Leisurely Dwelling House entrance to the west. After going around the north side of the wall of Processing Factory, it extended all the way to the edge of the village. In the future, when it rains, the family carriage won't roll through the mud.
The bluestone road was about ten feet wide, and every ten feet or so a tree and a flower were planted on the outside of the road. Perhaps it was a welcoming flower, or a jasmine, or a chrysanthemum, or a plum flower.
After farming, the villagers calmed down and noticed the change outside the Leisurely Dwelling House wall. They felt that it would be much better outside the house, and they started to burn a few green bricks together to pave the road in front of their house. Some of the villagers were quite creative. When laying the ground, they mixed some round stones between the bricks to form the pattern of flowers or animals, which was especially beautiful.
After the brick roads in front of each house were co ected together, the villagers suddenly realized that the entire Qingshan Village was much more beautiful than before.
This was Qin Mian's goal. He stealthily led the villagers to reform their Qingshan Village, and in the end, turned them into a paradise.
On a cool morning, Qin Mian and Lei Tia once again came to Precinct Head's house. Lei Tia was holding a scroll in his hand.
A few villagers who saw them accidentally followed them in, but the Precinct Head could not chase them away.
"My wife, Tia, what good ideas do you have?" Precinct Head was still excited when he remembered that his parents had called him for a meeting and praised him personally. His face was flushed red.
Qin Mian laughed: "Uncle Precinct Head, this time, Tia and I came for a total of two things. First of all, we would like to ask, can we buy the mountains around our village? "
"You want to buy a mountain?" Precinct Head thought: It's hard to understand the thoughts of rich people. Those mountains couldn't grow grain, so he didn't think they were worth much.
Qin Mian nodded.
Precinct Head replied: There's nothing that I can't buy. I'll go to the county city to get you a land deed.
Qin Mian said: "We want to buy Eagle Mountain at the back of the village, how much silver do you think it is?"
Precinct Head thought about it, "Eagle Mountain... That mountain is not small. I remember a few years ago, there was a village owner in Flowing Water Town who bought a mountain near their village for over three hundred silver. Soaring Eagle Mountain should not be more than five hundred silver."
"Let's just buy Eagle Mountain." Qin Mian said, "At that time, Tia and I will follow you to the county city."I've troubled you so many times, we have to treat you to a meal no matter what."
"Haha, sure." Precinct Head laughed.
A villager asked curiously, "Tia's wife, why did you buy that mountain?"
Qin Mian did not hold back, "We plan to build a mountain resort." He was not afraid of being followed by others. Firstly, no one could design a mountain resort better than him. Secondly, he had a cheating machine. The mountain resort that he built must be stronger than others' mountain resort.
The villagers were both surprised and impressed.
Precinct Head asked: "The second thing?"
Qin Mian asked with a smile: "Uncle Precinct Head, do you want to make your Qingshan Village more beautiful? Do you want to make the villagers of Qingshan Village even richer? "
Precinct Head's expression turned serious, "Of course!"
Qin Mian looked at the five villagers who were so excited that their eyes were shining, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Brothers, please take your leave."
Although the five villagers wanted to know what good idea Qin Mian had, they were afraid that he would be unhappy and change his mind. Smiling, they cupped their hands towards him and Lei Tia before leaving.
Qin Mian then said, "If you want to make our village more beautiful, first, we must plant the flowers; second, we must plant the fruit trees; we must make it possible for the four seasons to flower; we must have the four seasons to bear the fruits. Flowers and trees were not randomly planted, but planted in a pla ed ma er. For example, this plot of land should be planted with flowers, and this plot should be planted with trees. Besides, the fruit trees were not all the same. It was this family that grew peach trees, this family that grew pear trees, that were both convenient to take care of and that ensured that every household had their own gains."Think about it, if everyone planted a peach tree and had a lot of fruits, it would be very difficult to sell it. Furthermore, the variety would be too single."
Precinct Head nodded continuously.
Qin Mian opened the scroll in Lei Tia's hands and placed it on the table, "This is the modified Qingshan Village, take a look."
Precinct Head looked at the neat houses, wide roads, beautiful ocean of flowers, and fruit-filled fruit trees in the painting?? He was completely astonished.
"Good!" "These fields?"
Precinct Head saw through the painting.
Qin Mian nodded, "That's right, the Tian in the painting and the Tian Tian in our village, whether it's in terms of quantity or location, there are no differences."
"You drew it?" It must have taken a lot of effort." Precinct Head patted his shoulder.
Lei Tia replied: "Four days."
"The two of you have troubled yourselves." The Precinct Head sighed.
"Just a little. If you really want to change your Qingshan Village, some villagers' fields would need to be planted with fruit trees." Qin Mian paused, "This is only a thought of ours, whether or not it can be realized will still depend on your ability, Uncle Precinct Head. The only thing we can guarantee is that we will do everything we can to teach the villagers how to grow flowers and fruit trees."
Precinct Head frowned in silence for a while. Of course he would be happy if he could make the Qingshan Village more beautiful and the villagers richer. However, this matter was not that simple. It was useless for him to agree since he still had to consider the opinions of the villagers. Every year, all the villagers would have to pay a certain amount of land. If they were to use some of the fields where food was grown to grow fruit trees, the yield would be lower. If there were not even enough fields to pay, the villagers would have to pay money to make up for the cost. If a variety of flowers and fruit trees could not make money, then wouldn't that mean that the villagers would be forced into a corner?
Qin Mian understood his concerns, "This matter does not need to be decided so quickly, Uncle Precinct Head can consider this slowly, even if he does not agree in the end is not an issue."
The anxiety in Precinct Head's heart slowly faded as he laughed at himself. Yes, this matter is not urgent. Let's settle the matter of you buying the mountain first. How about we go to the county city tomorrow? "
"No problem."
The other villagers heard from the five villagers that Qin Mian was going to give the entire village a good idea to earn money. They excitedly ran to the Precinct Head's house and asked for information. The villagers could only suppress their anxiety and wait for the Precinct Head to gather them for a discussion.
On the next day, Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought Yuan Yuan and the others and sat in the big carriage with Precinct Head to the Zhaoyang County.
Precinct Head also brought the six year old Little Radish. The Luo Family had taught Little Radish extremely well. Although he was young, he was both sensible and obedient. In front of Yuan Yuan and Man Man, he was a qualified little big brother.
When they arrived at the county town, the group of people went to the county magistrate first. They spent four hundred and fifty silver taels to buy the Eagle Mountain. They also paid ten silver taels for the land deed and the messenger at the yamen.
After finishing their business, the three adults brought the three children to stroll around the streets, buying some small things for the three children. When it was almost noon, they went to Nie Heng's family's restaurant to have lunch.
Nie Heng was coincidentally there.
His wife was currently more than two months pregnant, the last few times she went to Shuangzhuan Restaurant, she kept nagging Qin Mian's ear about wanting to borrow Yuan Yuan and his whole family to stay in his house for a while. It was a pity that neither Qin Mian nor Lei Tia had the time. If Yuan Yuan and Lei Tia went alone, the two of them wouldn't be at ease.
"If Yuan Yuan is willing to come home with me and stay for a few days, my wife will definitely win a man in one fell swoop." Nie Heng said with a look of pity.
Qin Mian laughed at him, "Do you really want a son that much? Be careful that your wife knows and wants you to kneel on the washboard."
Nie Heng laughed: "It's all because of Yuan Yuan and Man. They're too cute, I hope to have a son who's as cute as them."
Qin Mian took out a piece of fruit candy from his big pocket and passed it over to him, saying in all seriousness, "Uncle Nie, give this candy to Aunt, Aunt will definitely give birth to a cute little brother."
Nie Heng stared blankly for a moment, his heart warmed. He rubbed his little head, accepted the candy and put it back into his bag with great care, then laughed out loud, "Alright, thank you very much, I will definitely give this candy to your aunt."
When Nie Heng returned home, indeed, he stuffed the candy into his wife's mouth. Young Madam Nie even thought that his husband had finally understood how to coax others, and was smiling merrily for the past few days??
Returning back to the Qingshan Village from the county, Qin Mian and Lei Tia began to build the Qilin Mountain Villa.
Three days later, Precinct Head once again gathered all the villagers to his home to discuss the matter. He told them everything that Qin Mian had said, and told them to think about it carefully.
The villagers' reaction was something that Qin Mian and Precinct Head did not expect, however, not a single one of them objected or hesitated. Everyone believed in Qin Mian's ability and were willing to gamble with him.
Qin Mian was moved and felt that there was a cute side to these villagers who were more confident in changing their Qingshan Village.
At the same time that Precinct Head felt gratified, he also became determined. Even the villagers trusted Qin Mian and Lei Tia this much, so he should trust them even more. As long as everyone worked together, he would definitely succeed.
Because the best season for planting flowers and trees was spring, the plan to change Qingshan Village was temporarily put on hold until after the new year.
Before disbanding, the Precinct Head told the villagers to keep this matter a secret, so as to avoid any side issues.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia continued with the matters of the Qilin Mountain Range. Chop down trees from the mountains, dig trees, dig earth, build roads, buy stone... From the start of the construction to the end of December, a total of more than a hundred workers had been working. After half a year, the Qilin Mountain Range finally revealed its full face.
With Yuan Yuan, a little full of white and golden fur, Qin Mian and Lei Tia became the first two people to stay at the Qilin Mountain Villa.
The entire Qilin Mountain Range was constructed of wood. There were a total of six courtyards, and because they were called "Summer Palace", their names carried a cool atmosphere as they were respectively the Clear Spring Pavilion, Summer Pavilion, Freezing Autumn Restaurant, Coldwinter Courtyard, Left Shuang Residence and Right Snow Garden. The six courtyards had very different styles. Inside and outside the villa, there were tall trees, deep and serene vegetation, and a very quiet place. It was conceivable that this place would be a summer resort in summer.
