July before, Jiang Anyi did three major things.

The first one was to prepare a heavy gift and take Jiang Anyong to Zhou Xiucai's house. The top scholar came to visit, which was really brilliant. When Jiang Anyi mentioned asking him to return to the Jiang Mansion to take charge of the school, Zhou Xiucai immediately nodded and agreed. If it were not forcing him, he really wouldn't want to give up his seniority of twenty taels.

The 18-year-old top scholar in front of me is the third-rank or above senior, and he can't escape it. Maybe he will join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future. Even if he can't benefit from it, he will have to stick to his plans for his children and grandchildren. Now Jiang Zhuangyuan is here to invite him in person, and he has face, so there is no reason to refuse to agree.

Jiang Anyi's purpose is not only that. In the past few days, he found that the family's accounts were chaotic and his mother remembered the expenses at home. His third uncle occasionally came back to remember a general idea. This would definitely not work. He wanted an account at home. Zhou Xiucai was the best candidate for the account. When Jiang Anyi mentioned that he would increase his annual salary by ten taels, Zhou Xiucai could no longer maintain his reserve and grinned and showed his yellow teeth.

Both of Zhou Xiucai's sons are already married, and the family is crowded in the two-in-one courtyard. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, why not just move to my mansion to live. My family has an empty courtyard, so that you can avoid running back and forth."

This is a good thing that cannot be obtained. The next day, Zhou Xiucai took his eldest son and his family, and seven people lived in the small courtyard prepared for him by Jiang Anyi. The courtyard was covered with bamboo, and the environment was elegant. The seven monasteries were cleaned up. Zhou Xiucai was very satisfied. After meeting Jiang Huang, the old gentleman's new account was officially taken office.

The second thing was that Jiang Anyi and his family followed Fang Zhizhong into Matou Mountain, went to Anlong Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and visited Master Hong Xin. The waterfall was still there, and there were monks working in the terraced fields. The road in front of the mountain gate had been rectified and became flat and wide. The three big words "Anlong Temple" were in the distance.

When burning incense and worshiping Buddha, Jiang Anyi became more pious. Master Hongxin nodded secretly. Jiang Anyi obviously had more affection for Buddhism. When he talked about the Zen room, Jiang Anyi said that he wanted to take Fang Zhizhong to Renzhou to join the army. Monk Hongxin stood up and bowed deeply, saying: "I am a monk. I have nothing to thank Jiang Tanyue. I can only pray for Jiang Tanyue's family in front of the Buddha. Thank you for your kindness."

Fang Zhizhong was a little reluctant and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle, I'm going to Renzhou and you have to take care of yourself. I will come back to see you when I have time."

"A foolish man, a good man is determined by all directions. Your parents will be happy to see you become successful in the spirit of heaven. My uncle is a monk. Because you have more concerns in the world, you can revive your family, start a family and start a career in the future, and your uncle can also worship Buddha with peace of mind and break the world." Master Hong Xin looked at his nephew with a kind face.

"Jiang Tanyue, you set out to Renzhou in mid-July. During this period, I want Chong'er to live in the temple. First, our uncle and nephew will be together for a while before we parted, and second, the battlefield is ruthless, I want to teach him some skills to save his life."

On the way back, Jiang Anyong approached his brother and said, "Brother, I heard Brother Zhizhong say that his uncle can subdue demons and internal strength, and said that you can also do internal strength. Brother, Master Hongxin must have wanted to pass on the magic subdue martial arts to Zhizhong. Can you pass on your internal strength to me?" Jiang Anyi nodded immediately and agreed. An Yong has grown up and is very brave. If he has internal strength to defend himself in the future, his safety factor will be greatly increased. But how did he just pass on his merits?

After communicating with Xinfei, Jiang Anyi knew that his mind was a masculine type, and his progress was rapid, but he was irritated and needed to be harmonized with feminine exercises. Xinfei gave him a few instructions on how to use the exercises to pay attention to the meridians he passed through. As a harmonization, this is beneficial and disadvantageous. The advantage is that the exercises become harmonious and the crisis of being possessed by the devil is greatly reduced. The disadvantage is that the skill growth becomes slow. During this period, Jiang Anyi almost couldn't detect the increase in his own skill.

Jiang Anyi thought about it and decided to teach An Yong the improved qigong mental method. He didn't want An Yong to be as obsessed as he did. He happened to have a master helping him twice, otherwise he would have already burned his own pulse and died.

The third thing is to rectify the fields in the family. After returning the fields under his name, the Jiang family has 760 mu of land, including 360 mu of high-quality fields, 230 mu of medium-quality fields, and 170 mu of low-quality fields, and more than 1,500 mu of barren mountains and wasteland. In addition, the three uncles have a total of 480 mu of land under his name.

The existing fields were planted with grain and rented to others. They were originally rented for six points, and they could get five points of land after deducting one point of tax. However, the farmer only got four points of land. Jiang Anyi decided to give one point to the benefit of the renters and only collected five points of land.

For those who have no land, adding 10% of the food is a way to survive. The tenant farmers who heard the news were so grateful that the whole family came to thank him. Looking at the sincere smile on their faces, Jiang Huang whispered: "Yi'er, this is what you said to buy reputation with money. My mother feels comfortable. My mother thought about you, our family is not short of food or clothing, and being able to do something to accumulate virtue and do good deeds is a blessing from the Buddha and it is a good thing that the Buddha can't get."

Giving and receiving happiness. Although Jiang Huang had never read a book, the tempering of life had already been refined and proficient in the world. Jiang Anyi praised his mother a few words, and Jiang Huang's face turned a thin blush, beautiful and beautiful. Jiang Anyi sighed silently in his heart and smiled and said, "Mom, don't waste the mountains you bought. Please ask more people to cultivate orchards or bamboo forests. If the low-cold wasteland is dug into a pond, it is good to raise fish and grow lotus."

Jiang Huang said: "That would take a lot of time and I would have to hire a lot of people. The family is not equipped with enough staff."

Jiang Anyiqing left the idle people at home, and now he found that he was too anxious and there were still many places to hire people. After thinking about it, Jiang Anyi said, "Wang Wang knows the best of all the chores at home. I mean, let him be the housekeeper, and if there is anything, let Uncle Wang come forward. If there is not enough work at home, please ask Uncle Wang to go to the market to hire people. The price may be more expensive and not deduct the villagers."

"This time I took Zhizhong and An Yong away. No one at home can do it. I mean to let Brother Dongjiang come back. Didn't my second uncle tell him to have a family marriage? After he got married, he helped at home. In the past two years, he has also experienced it outside. The family is no longer as good as before. There are more gifts for the visit. My eldest uncle and the second uncle cannot go to the table, and my third uncle is not at home, so I let Brother Dongjiang hold up the store."

"Okay, I'll tell your second uncle later."

"The land at home is left to my uncle to take care of. The second uncle has more snacks when reclaiming wasteland. The cousins ​​at home may learn to take care of things when they have time. They can't know how to play all day long." Jiang Anyi nodded while talking to Jiang Huang, and Yan'er shouted: "Brother, you are not at home, I am the only one left at home, I have to help my mother with work."

Jiang Anyi teased her and said, "You can write? Can you keep accounts?"

"I can write hundreds of words." Yan'er proudly raised her head and said, "Mr. Zhou praised me for being the smartest, and my second brother and others are far inferior to me."

"Oh, my Yan'er is still a female scholar, and she will definitely be more beneficial than her brother in the future." Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "But Yan'er is still young now. Learn and read more with Mr. Zhou. When Yan'er is two years older, she can help her mother's housekeeper."

Yan'er pouted and hummed, "Brother doesn't keep his word. I can write now. I can keep the books. I won't let me keep the housekeeper, a stingy guy."

Jiang Anyi was a little afraid of Yan'er's thoughts, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Don't Yan'er likes the dishes that her brother cooks the most? What do you want to eat when you have time today?"

Yan'er immediately jumped up happily, bent her fingers and said: "Stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pork ribs, cold-smoked white jade, sour bamboo shoots, steamed pork with rice noodles, stir-fried pork liver, braised fish pieces, tea eggs. Okay, let's eat these first today, and let's talk about the others tomorrow."

Good guy, he said seven or eight dishes in one breath and said to eat these first. Jiang Anyi smiled and raised Yan'er, circled around the air, and said, "Okay, ask Aunt Yu to prepare the ingredients. Brother will show off his skills today and let the little greedy cat have enough."

Yan'er's eyes were bent into moon buds, and she smiled so happily. She ran out and went to Aunt Yu. After a while, Yan'er ran back and said breathlessly: "Aunt Yu said there is no fish at home, no pig liver, and no white jade. Brother, I have to change a few dishes."

"The white jade is here." Guo Huaili stepped in with his legs, holding a basin in his hand, containing twenty white jades. Putting the basin on the table, Guo Huaili asked, "Is Xiao Jiang preparing to make dishes? That's a good relationship, I, Lao Guo, have good fortune."

After tasting Jiang Anyi's craftsmanship several times, Guo Huaili came to the Jiang family to have dinner from time to time, and always tinkered with Jiang Anyi to make some dishes to fill his mouth. Yan'er glared at Guo Huaili and said, "Every time you fight me, I'm always unable to eat it."

The little foodie had an objection to the big foodie. Guo Huaili squatted down, pretended to be pitiful, and said, "Good Yan'er, Fatty Brother has lost a lot recently, so you will be pitiful to me. At most, let your brother make one more portion, and I will eat that portion alone."

"That won't work, we have to eat together."

Everyone laughed loudly. Jiang Anyong walked in. When he heard that there were no fish at home, he immediately said excitedly: "There are big fish in the wild pond. Let's go fishing now. I also put a few sets next to me to see if there is any harvest. Maybe there will be wild game to eat at night."

It was really uncomfortable for Jiang Anyong to be detained at home these days, so he tried his best to encourage Jiang Anyi to go fishing. Seeing his younger brother's pitiful look, Jiang Anyong nodded in agreement. Jiang Anyong cheered and rushed out of the house to prepare for the fishing rod.

The fishing ground was behind the Jiang house, with weeds all the way, and only a curved path stretched into the arms of the mountains. Walking out the five miles, there was a half-acre pool among the bushes. The Jiang Anyi brothers often came to swim with his father when they were young, but now this land has been bought by Jiang Huang.

Jiang Anyong took Yan'er and started fishing happily. Guo Huaili found a shaded place and looked up and said, "This land is really good, with mountains and water, and surrounded by mountains. There is only one road leading out there. It's good to build other villages."

Jiang Anyi's heart moved and carefully looked at the familiar world in his memory. The water of the pond came from the clear springs in the mountains, and the edges of the pond were full of weeds. The area was about four or five acres, and it was enough to build a house after renovation. The mountain was steep and the entire valley was like a giant's embrace.
