Compared to buying the manor, Mrs. Fan was obviously more concerned about her son's marriage.
Hearing Fan Jin's words, she couldn't stop smiling.
After listening to Butcher Hu's words relayed by Fan Jin, Mother Fan smiled and said,""Old Man Hu has such a temperament. He was afraid that you wouldn't like him after you fell for your husband, so he said this to you in advance. In fact, he was really a relative who had many twists and turns. It was not wrong to say that he was the eldest relative. Since my son is respectful to you, he didn't do anything wrong…Hmm, it seems that the marriage can be settled when you become a child. When you become a scholar next spring, you can ask for a date to marry him.”
Mother Fan worked hard in the Fan family village. The neighbors were also close and she didn't mind being lonely.
When they arrived at the North Gate Mansion, although there was Wu Jingzi and his wife, as well as Wu Sixi and his wife, the four-acre mansion was really empty.
If Fan Jin could marry his wife and give birth to a few more children, Mother Fan would naturally not be afraid of loneliness.
Not to mention this era, even hundreds of years later, the old man's thoughts would be the same.
Fan Jin did not object to this.
……
Several days later.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you have successfully signed in. You have obtained the painting and calligraphy skills.”
Not bad, he had obtained a new skill.
At the same time as he obtained the skill.
There were several scenes in his mind.
It was as if there were countless elegant scholars teaching him how to write step by step.
From the pre-Qin Xiaozhuan to the Han Dynasty's Wei stele, to the Jin Dynasty's style, the Tang Dynasty's charm, the Song Dynasty's ingenuity…
This was a book.
When he wrote, he went from being open and wide, vigorous and desolate, to high-spirited.
In the end, his techniques were perfect, and he lost his killing intent, confidence, and domineering aura.
Calligraphy had become purely a technique, not a reflection of national strength and strong self-confidence. Even though calligraphy was extremely skillful, it gradually became restrained, closed, and eventually rigid.
Even if there were calligraphy works with extremely high artistic attainments such as the Skinny Golden Body, they were thin, stingy, beautiful, and feminine. They were completely different from the calligraphy of the Han and Wei Dynasties.
By the time the Daming Hall was built, it had already stagnated and the civilization had stagnated.
Unknowingly, Fan Jin's face was covered in tears.
Although he had received the calligraphy inheritance.
But unknowingly, he seemed to see the budding of an entire civilization, its growth, and its decline.
Painting was the entry level of painting skills, such as flowers, birds, mountains, rivers, and people.
It gradually became clear.
He also started to master the painting technique with the brush in his hand.
Paintings took shape under Fan Jin's pen, gradually forming magnificent, magnificent, or subtle patterns.
Dotted with ink, the dots became mountains, and then the dots became water. A small boat sailed across the mountains and rivers.
Fan Jin was also intoxicated.
This was the beauty of Chinese traditional painting.
After this skill state was instilled.
Fan Jin's temperament was different.
His entire face also became more exquisite and handsome.
He opened his status bar and looked at his latest status.
Host Fan Jin.
Points: 900
He was a martial arts grandmaster, a literary grandmaster, a celestial pilot, a sword grandmaster, and a master of painting and calligraphy.
The state is full of qi and blood, seven steps to form a poem, see the clouds to know the ground, sword like chess, can write and draw.
Hmm, not bad.
Originally, Fan Jin had planned to mention the Martial Arts Grandmaster state again.
However, when the sword art reached the state of the sword like chess, even dozens of martial arts burly men were no match for it.
Thus, he was not in a hurry.
He was saving up his points to reach 1,000 points to improve his status as a scholar.
After all, he was currently ranked first in the imperial examinations.
The painting and calligraphy skills were also considered a branch of the Wen Zong. Fan Jin planned to raise it by one level at most. Next, he was prepared to raise the state of the Wen Zong before the capital examination.
There was also the state of a Celestial Arcanist, which could only be upgraded after he had upgraded to a generation of Martial Ancestor and Martial Ancestor.
He had too many skills but not enough points.
It could be considered a happy worry.
……
Not long after breakfast, Wu Sixi came to invite him.
On the left side of the mansion, on the opposite side of the willow forest, there was originally some wasteland and shrubs. Because it was close to the river, there were many dikes and many forests. This area of more than ten acres had always been abandoned.
Now that it had become a construction site, Fan Jin went to check it every day.
Originally, this land belonged to the Zhang family, but this time, it directly belonged to Fan Jin.
This place was indeed not suitable for cultivation.
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the taxes and corvee of all prefectures and counties were completed, with a total of 1,684,435 households and 56,774,561 people.
The land was 390 million mu.
The average cultivated land per mu was less than eight mu.
Compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was definitely incomparable.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the few emperors who loved his people.
Taxes were low, miscellaneous taxes and corvee were also low during the Hongwu period.
Therefore, when people talked about life, they all said that life was the best in the hands of Lord Hong Wu.
After Renxuan, the atmosphere of the scholars was corrupted, and the emperor squandered Tianshun. During the Chenghua years, everything was very different.
At this time, the area of cultivated land was still sufficient, and the pressure on the people was not great.
Therefore, the wasteland at the entrance of the village was not reclaimed.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, especially after the introduction of corn and sweet potatoes, the population increased sharply, but the land area did not increase. When the people's lives were difficult, there was really no abandoned land to be found.
Now, this large area of more than ten acres and nearly twenty acres had been surrounded by long walls.
Fortunately, labor was cheap now.
A bricklayer was paid sixty yuan a day, and a small worker was paid thirty yuan a day.
Carpenters were paid 70 yuan a day, and small workers were paid 40 yuan a day.
In addition, he bought a large number of green bricks. The price of bricks was also cheap. To surround such a large wall, it cost less than 30 strings of money.
After Fan Jin bought the manor, he still had nearly six hundred strings of money.
With so much living money, he could still be considered a small millionaire.
This was the Hongwu period, where prices were very low.
Therefore, when Wei Wenqian and Li Ning found out that Fan Jin had earned the money to buy the manor in a short period of time, they were also dumbfounded and amazed.
