Chapter 1409: Housewarming to a new home

In October in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still a lot of green leaves on the trees, but the autumn wind is already very cool.

Yang Huairen found out that the winter in the south of the Yangtze River may be colder than in the Central Plains, not that the temperature will be lower, but because in the winter in the north, every household will build a stove at home, or directly burn the kang.

Even though it was snowing and the wind was cold, it was still warmer to hide in the house.

But Jiangnan is different, there is no stove or kang, and the temperature feels higher than in the north, but in fact, the feeling of the human body is a kind of cold.

In the history of climate, the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago is said to be a period of Xiaoice, the climate is cold, Yang Huairen did not believe it before, but now he believes.

When it cools down, it is very cold to live on a boat, and the walls made of wood do not do much to keep warm.

Fortunately, the new house in Hangzhou was about to be repaired, and after Yang Huairen went to Suzhou to meet his family, he went directly to Hangzhou.

The emperor's decree also came down, a little later than Yang Huairen expected, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Yang Huairen's plan would inevitably cause some controversy in the court.

Zhao Xu naturally wanted Yang Huairen to continue to expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, increase his own merits, and confirm the historical status of his generation of Ming monarchs.

So Zhao Xu turned a deaf ear to those opposing voices and made up his mind to support Yang Huairen.

Even though the emperor made a decision, there were still endless arguments within the New Party, and internal contradictions became increasingly apparent.

Yang Huairen can't control this, as long as Zhao Xu can support him, he can rest assured to do the things planned.

It's just that Zhao Xu and the imperial court didn't approve much money, and the more than one million guan of stolen money that Yang Huairen handed over from the confiscation of Zhao Xianqiu, Zhao Xu planned to use it to repair the basic palace in the palace, so he only symbolically allocated 100,000 guan money.

The military department and the household department did not dare to allocate funds to the Wude army on their own initiative, and no matter how reluctant the bigwigs of the Privy Council were, they still felt that since the Wude army had withdrawn and changed the domain, it was not impossible to make some compensation in terms of money and silver.

So after several bigwigs discussed, they also allocated 100,000 yuan of military expenses to Wu Dejun to build a naval army, which was the same as the money given by the emperor.

Although the amount of 200,000 guan is not large, it is not lower than Yang Huairen's estimate, so that with the addition of more than 900,000 guan on the books of Wu Dejun, the capital of Wu Dejun has exceeded 1.1 million guan.

The Yangtze River is not frozen in winter, so it does not affect shipbuilding, and the new shipyard has been in full swing.

After the old Dai led the people to renovate the shipyard, they immediately purchased the materials needed for shipbuilding.

His four sons all returned, and in addition to the original craftsmen, the high salaries of the shipyard attracted hundreds of shipbuilders to come over, and the town of Eguchi was once again lively.

Because of the sufficient manpower, Lao Daitou designed warships of different sizes early, and the five docks were started together, bringing the shipyard's shipbuilding capacity to the extreme.

In Cen Xiaonian's report, he was surprised to say that Lao Daitou led people to build ships, but he didn't need drawings, so he said with a mouth, and those craftsmen built the frame of the warship within the requirements.

Yang Huairen was also surprised, and even couldn't understand how they did it, but then he thought about it, the wisdom and ability of ancient Chinese craftsmen really can't be measured by common sense.

Shipbuilder Yang Huairen has not seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard of a master who carves jade, also without drawings, full-screen memory and skills, and carved a piece of raw jade into a three-layer hollow exquisite jade carving.

Even Yang Huairen, a well-informed later generation, did not understand how the carving craftsman did it.

Therefore, we must not underestimate the ancients and ancient craftsmen, whose wisdom and extraordinary skills are not only not inferior to the craftsmen of later generations, but even more exquisite.

Thinking about these clearly, Yang Huairen relaxed, since he decided that Lao Daitou would definitely do his best to build a warship, there was no need for him to mix in the specific process, and he would not do the stupid thing that a layman would do in charge of an insider.

There is a reason to go to the training with the brothers separately and select the soldiers of the future navy, Yang Huairen doesn't understand this, just let the people who understand it do it, how to select people and how to train him doesn't care, as long as there is a qualified navy after a year.

So Yang Huairen rarely had a break and accompanied his family to live in a new house in Hangzhou.

The Yang family's new house is in a good location, in a good place called Taoyuanling on the west side of West Lake.

At the foot of Taoyuan Ridge is a flat mountain valley, with a double-peaked mountain sandwiched between the mansion and the West Lake, so Yang Huairen's wish to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake while standing at his doorstep has been frustrated.

In fact, the mansion is not far from the West Lake, if you go out for a walk, you can walk to the Xili Lake with a cup of tea, and you can take in the scenery of the entire West Lake from here.

It's just strange that there is a gap between Leifeng Pagoda and the Leifeng sunset in his impression, and then I remembered that today's Leifeng Pagoda is not the Leifeng Pagoda of later generations.

During the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Leifeng Pagoda was destroyed due to the war, it was rebuilt later, the rebuilt Leifeng Pagoda can naturally be said to be tall, and the current Leifeng Pagoda is pointed and thin-waisted, showing a slightly enchanting atmosphere.

To the west of the mansion is the North Peak, and under the North Peak is the famous Lingyin Temple.

Lingyin Temple was founded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 326 A.D., and has a history of nearly 800 years, but it is only a few decades to say that it is famous all over the world.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong, Prime Minister Han Qi and Governor Ouyang Xiu were instructed to write three books, such as "Diagram of the Authentic Ancestors of the Transmission of the Law", "The Records of the Authentic Sect of the Teachings", and "The Treatise on the Authenticity of the Teachings" (collectively known as the "Jiayou Collection") and the "Auxiliary Teachings".

Renzong Zhun played an order to pass on the court to compile the "Tibetan Scriptures", and gave Qi Song the title of "Master of Mingjiao".

Since then, Lingyin Temple has become famous, and Buddhists at home and abroad have come to explore Buddhism, and Lingyin Temple has since become a holy place for Zen Buddhism in the world.

Living in such a quiet place, the daughters of the Yang family were very happy, and Yang's mother took the lead in sending someone to Lingyin Temple to send a large amount of incense to worship money.

The whole family lives in the mansion, although the size is not even half of the ground of the Yang family's mansion in the capital, but the buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are obviously delicate and delicate, and people like Yang Huairen, who are very pyrotechnic, live in it, and they all have a faint sense of elegance.

In fact, there is a large vacant land behind the house, the back mountain is still lush and lush, there is more than 100 acres of barren grassland between the house and the back mountain, you can't grow crops, and it's useless to look at the mountain.

Yang Huairen looked at it, and his mood suddenly improved, this kind of thin land on the mountain can't grow crops, but you can grow some green vegetables, and he has long been used to eating home-grown vegetables, and there is no reason to buy vegetables to eat when he arrives in Jiangnan.

Yang Huairen moved to a new house, except for accompanying his wife to watch the children, there was nothing to do, so he took the servants at home to reclaim the land a little, set up a greenhouse, and planted dozens of acres of new vegetables.

The rest of the place can be used to raise chickens, pigs and sheep, and the ingredients are naturally planted and raised by themselves.
