Around 5 pm, Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi arrived at Yun Mountain in a carriage with a large group of servants. The carriage was filled with oilcloth and wood. They were planning to grow vegetables in greenhouses in Yun Mountain.
Speaking of which, more than ninety percent of the roads in Cloud Mountain had been repaired. This greatly reduced the travel time. In the past, it would take more than an hour for a carriage to travel this long path. Now, it would only take a little more than fifteen minutes.
More importantly, the road was wide. In the past, if two carriages wanted to stagger, they had to be careful for fear of bumping into each other. Now, the cement road was wide enough to accommodate four carriages side by side. Compared to this, the official road outside the city was like a small road.
"San Bao, bring them here and build me a greenhouse that is exactly the same as the one in the residence. I have something to do outside!"
Li Zexuan said to San Bao as he marked out an empty space behind the courtyard.
In this era, there were no strict management methods for abandoned land like in the modern era. Usually, the land would belong to whoever developed it. Besides, Yanhuang College was built on Yun Mountain. The entire mountain was basically Li Zexuan's private territory. He could plant wherever he wanted.
"Yes, Young Master! Don't worry and go! "
San Bao took on the responsibility without hesitation.
As Li Zexuan's number one "henchman", this was a piece of cake for him.
Li Zexuan nodded and left with his wife.
He wanted to go to his father-in-law's house. He wasn't going to monopolize the vegetables in the greenhouses. Planting vegetables was just for fun and to satisfy his appetite. He didn't plan to use it to make money. However, it was a good idea to let the villagers in his fief take care of it.
As for Han Tianhu, due to his relationship with Li Zexuan, he was now the head of one of the eight villages in Li Zexuan's fief. The Han Family Manor's position among the eight villages was skyrocketing. Only Plum Village, which was close to Yun Mountain, could compete with them!
The other six villages were envious of these two villages. However, their villages were now part of Li Zexuan's fief. As long as they followed Li Zexuan's footsteps, their good days wouldn't be far away.
Previously, when Li Zexuan mobilized the villagers to gather herbs in the mountains, the villagers were unusually enthusiastic. If there wasn't a quota, they would have brought their entire families into the mountains.
"It's Marquis!"
"Hello, Marquis!"
"Greetings, Marquis!"
Since Cloud Mountain wasn't far from Plum Village, Li Zexuan didn't choose to take a carriage. The couple hadn't gone far when they saw a group of villagers carrying bamboo baskets on their backs heading towards the third courtyard in an endless stream.
When the villagers saw Li Zexuan, they stopped in their tracks and bowed. Their faces were filled with excitement.
"Yes, you're going to look for Doctor Sun?"
Some of them were familiar to Li Zexuan, while others were unfamiliar. However, when he saw the herbs in their bamboo baskets, Li Zexuan guessed that they were here to sell herbs.
"Yes! Marquis! We're all going to Doctor Sun to sell herbs! "
"Why don't you go to the pharmacy in Chang 'an City to sell?"
Li Zexuan asked with a smile.
When he decided to set up a "school hospital" in the Academy, he put a sum of money in Sun Simiao's place for him to purchase herbs. The purchase price of herbs here wasn't much better than the big pharmacies in Chang 'an City. Some herbs were even cheaper than the ones in Chang' an City. The main reason was that Sun Simiao didn't think it was worth the money. This old man had always been frugal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have collected herbs himself to treat patients.
When the man heard this, his face suddenly changed. He straightened his neck and said, "Marquis is kind-hearted. He pointed out a way for us to make money. Why would we do such a treacherous thing? Wouldn't that be like being criticized behind our backs? "
An old man next to him also said, "Shuanzi is right. Marquis, you're kind-hearted. Besides, Doctor Sun doesn't charge for treating the poor. The herbs we collect don't cost anything. It's just a little effort. Even if Doctor Sun doesn't pay us, we have no reason to give these herbs away!"
"Yes! Who knows, these herbs might even be used by Divine Doctor Sun on us in the end! "
"Yes, although we're poor, we can't let others criticize us behind our backs!"
The old man's words immediately gained the approval of many people. Li Zexuan's kindness to the people of his fief and Sun Simiao's kindness to the poor had been widely spread in the area near Chang 'an City. People's hearts were made of flesh. In the face of good people like Li Zexuan and Sun Simiao, how could they only recognize money and not care about feelings?
It had to be said that the feelings of kindness in this era were quite strong. If this situation was in modern times, it would be hard to say.
Han Yuxi looked at Li Zexuan, her heart full of love. She was happy that her husband had won the hearts of the people.
Li Zexuan patted the man's arm and said, "Haha, good! Good! Good! I appreciate your kindness. Since you are now the people of my fief, I will definitely take you to live a good life! "
"Marquis is righteous!"
"Marquis is mighty!" “
The people had been looking forward to this promise in their hearts. Now that they finally heard Li Zexuan say it personally, they were suddenly very excited and shouted.
Li Zexuan smiled and chatted with the people around him. Then, he took Han Yuxi down the mountain.
… … …
The villagers didn't go into the mountains to pick herbs every day. Now, the unified arrangement of the villages was to organize a group to go into the mountains every other day. Therefore, when Li Zexuan and his wife arrived at the Han Village, Han Lizheng didn't go out. Instead, he was playing chess with Old Hu in the courtyard.
It was the slack period now. If Li Zexuan hadn't arranged a job to go into the mountains to pick herbs, Han Lizheng would probably be even more free now. At this moment, the two bad chess players were happily playing chess on the stone table in the courtyard.
"Father!"
"Father-in-law!"
Han Yuxi and Li Zexuan entered the courtyard. The two of them called out one after the other.
"Yo! Yuxi, Xiaoxuan, you're back! "
Han Lizheng heard and quickly stood up. His face was full of warmth.
Old Hu also put down the chess piece in his hand and stood up with a smile. "Hey, Han girl, Young Master, you're here!"
He didn't call Marquis, nor did he call Marquis Madam. However, this kind of address made Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi feel very close.
"Yes, Uncle Hu, you're playing chess!"
Li Zexuan smiled.
Old Hu patted his head and said resentfully, "Hey! I was about to win just now. Alright, Lizheng, you lost this round! "
