Li Wangyou originally wanted the farmers to start relocating, but the old villager refused to agree.
In his words, how can there be any reason why the main family still lives in the old house, and the euphemists move to new homes?If the villagers of Dingzhou Village do this, they are afraid that they will be stabbed in the back by ten miles and eight towns.
The old village is insisting that they must wait until Li Wangyou moves into the new house before they are willing to move.
And the farmers in the village have the same attitude, no one is willing to move to a new house before Li Wangyou.
Facing the stubborn old village, Li Wangyou could only shake his head and let them go.
However, under the suggestion of Lao Cunzheng, a tall and solid square wall and square gate were newly built around the periphery of Xinding Zhou Village, which was integrated with the wall of Li Wangyou's manor mansion.
In this way, to enter Li Wangyou's manor mansion, one must pass through the square gate and village of Xindingzhou Village.
Li Wangyou naturally understood what Laocunzheng was thinking, and he didn't refuse his kindness.This is to use Dingzhou Village as the outer line of defense of Li Wangyou's mansion. If Xiao Xiao wants to harm him, he must first pass through Dingzhou Village.
Li Wangyou is still very concerned about the safety of his mansion.
He not only asked the Ministry of Industry to build him a strong and tall courtyard wall.He also paid for it himself, recruited many craftsmen, and dug a circular ditch along the outer wall of the mansion.
In the ditch, there is a stream that is diverted from the mountain. After flowing through the ditch, it flows into the artificial lake dug at the foot of the mountain.After that, it flows through the new Dingzhou village, and finally flows into the Gan River.
In this way, not only the manor mansion has a moat, but also the domestic water for the manor and Dingzhou Village is guaranteed.
For the excavated ditches, Li Wangyou spared no expense to ask the craftsmen to pave them with cement and embed large smooth pebbles in them, making these ditches extremely beautiful, and the stream flowing through them is also crystal clear.
Passing both sides of the canal in Dingzhou Village, Li Wangyou asked Carpenter Liu to build a lot of waterwheels and place them in it.Continuously raise the stream water in the canal to high places and pour it into the bamboo tubes that have been framed one by one.
These bamboo tubes are respectively connected to 120 seven courtyards.
Not only as domestic water, but also like the old house of the Li family today, it can lead the stream water to the roof to create a "rain house", making the house extremely cool in midsummer.
Li Wangyou racked his brains when designing the new Dingzhou Village in order to realize the paradise in the heart of the beautiful boss and also for the farmers of Dingzhou Village.
Every household in the village has sewage pipes, which can directly flush the sewage into the huge biogas digester.
Not only every household is equipped with biogas lamps, but even the roads in the village are equipped with biogas lamps for night lighting.This kind of biogas lamp that can burn without kerosene, in the eyes of Tang people, is no different from watching science fiction movies of later generations, and they are all difficult to understand.
Li Wangyou even helped the village build two public bathrooms, which made the old villager and the farmers feel that it was too luxurious.
These peasant families like to go to the new village for a while when they have nothing to do.
Not to mention how happy the original farmers were, even Niu Wu and Niu Yong's daughter-in-law, the dozen or so palace maids who were married to the old mansion soldiers, were overwhelmed with excitement after seeing these houses.
In their opinion, even the Taiji Palace where they have stayed for more than ten years may not be as comfortable as these courtyards.
This makes these maids who are out of the palace even more rejoicing, and the husband who serves their own is even more gentle and virtuous.
In addition to his manor mansion and Xinding Zhoucun, Li Wangyou needs to worry about it. He also has to visit the polo field that has already started construction from time to time, and discuss some matters with the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
As for the winemaking workshop in the Qinling Mountains, it is now on the right track, and Li Wangyou didn't bother to worry about it, so he directly left it to the supervisor sent by Li Er.
He only needs to look at the account books every month. Anyway, Li Er is in charge, so he can't afford to worry about it.
Now, he first has to build an ice-making workshop in the village.
This ice making is quite simple, only need a lot of saltpeter.
In order to keep it secret, Li Wangyou asked the farmers in the village to go all over Chang'an City and the surrounding counties to buy saltpeter from large and small pharmacies.
Fortunately, saltpeter can be used repeatedly to make ice. If you purchase a sufficient amount of saltpeter at one time, you won't have to worry about it in the future.
The ice-making workshop is the same as Li Wangyou's ice-making method.Fill two large and small containers with water, and put saltpeter into the large container.
The saltpeter chemically reacts with water, absorbs heat, condenses into ice, and freezes the water in the small container at the same time.
The ice cubes in the small container can be collected, put into the excavated ice cellar, and transported to Chang'an City in a unified manner.
The ice cubes containing saltpeter in the large container were sent to the fire for distillation.The saltpeter condensed after distilling the water can be used repeatedly to make ice.The only thing that needs to be consumed is the firewood burning on the fire.
With the help of men, women and children in the village, the ice-making workshop was built in two days.After a large amount of ice is produced, it can be transported to Chang'an City in an endless stream after remodeling a four-wheeled carriage with thermal insulation effect.
As for recruiting merchants in Chang'an City, Li Wangyou would not do it himself.
As the founding son of Hu County in the Tang Dynasty, I was afraid that I would be laughed out of my face when I personally went to discuss business with the shopkeepers of Shushui shops.
Li Wangyou was smart, found the fat man Qiu Kun, and asked him if he would like to take over the business.
Qiu Kun naturally wouldn't refuse, he didn't care how much money he could make, the key was to get closer to Li Wangyou, how could he refuse such a good thing?
So Qiu Jia became the general distributor of beverage vending machines in Chang'an City, and Li Wangyou was also very angry, and directly gave him [-]% of the shares.
After being so busy for more than half a month, I finally took care of all the chores.
Li Wangyou hid back in Dingzhou Village again, and went to live a leisurely life as a little landlord waiting to die.
But early this morning, another guest came to the Li family's old house, which made Li Wangyou a little bit embarrassed.

The person who came to visit was none other than the veteran Sun Simiao.
The Taoist temple on Xiangyang Hillside has been built, and now Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, has moved out of the Qinling Mountains and became neighbors with Li Wangyou.
In this regard, both Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss raised their hands in welcome.On the day when the Taoist temple was completed, Li Wangyou naturally had to congratulate him and send many generous gifts.
Originally, the villagers of Dingzhou Village didn't think there was anything special about the Taoist temple on the slope of Xiangyang Mountain, they thought it was just a small Taoist temple.
But to the surprise of the old villager and all the villagers, when the Taoist temple was completed, not only his master's family sent a lot of gifts, but even many officials in Chang'an City came to congratulate him.
The Tang Dynasty naturally also had a religious management organization. During the Zhenguan period, religious affairs were in charge of the Spinning Department of Honglu Temple.
If Sun Simiao wanted to build a Taoist temple, he also needed to register with the Ministry of Spinning.
The old Taoist is too famous, and he wants to build a Taoist temple in Dingzhou Village, Hu County. Even Li Er knows about this, but he is happy to see it succeed.
It is a pity that he failed to invite Sun Simiao to become an official in Ruchao.But now that Sun Simiao, who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests on weekdays, has settled down in Dingzhou Village, it is naturally a good thing for Li Er.
On the day when the Taoist temple was completed, even Li Er sent a servant in the palace to send all kinds of congratulatory gifts to show his congratulations.
So as soon as Sun Simiao's Taoist temple was completed, the incense became vigorous.
Not only the village households in Dingzhou Village would go to offer incense and worship, but people from the surrounding ten miles and eight townships would also come here to offer incense, and even some people from Huxian County would come here to offer incense.
Sun Simiao didn't care whether the Taoist temple was prosperous or not, he entrusted his disciples and grandchildren to take care of this Taoist temple.The old Taoist doesn't see customers, but just immerses himself in his medical practice.
The Taoist temple was named "microcosm" by Sun Simiao, and its source was actually the microscope that Li Wangyou casually mentioned to him that day, and the old Taoist has never forgotten it.
After the completion of the Taoist temple, Sun Simiao led his apprentice Liu Shenwei to the door.
