palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the eradication of the bandits, she now had the freedom to pursue her interests across the vast expanse of Anze Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a night of intimacy, Qiao Xuan radiated with energy the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gathered Songshi, Liu Fu, Mianmian, and others to discuss their plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ample funds available for hiring labor, and with Songshi and the others possessing experience in managing wasteland, the previously neglected mountains were ready to be reclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songshi, in particular, was invigorated by the prospect of a new endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mianmian and Liu Fu shared in her excitement, eager to embark on this venture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan’s preliminary plan involved dedicating much of the land in Liuhe Fort to cultivating various herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assessing the area, she identified suitable spots for planting gastrodia elata, false starworts, King Solomon’s-seal, Tian Qi, Dang Gui, and white needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, scattered fruit trees were to be planted throughout the medicinal herb fields, providing not only fruits but also shade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, plans were made for a chicken farm within the mountain forest and Liuhe Fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To maintain hygiene, the chicken farm would undergo a yearly rotation: one year for raising chickens, followed by a year of rest, during which the chickens would be relocated to a different site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rotation ensured cleanliness and minimized the risk of disease outbreaks, a particularly crucial consideration given the potential for bacteria buildup in the chicken farm over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the expansive mountain provided ample space to address these concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this era, dealing with a chicken plague meant witnessing the chickens succumb one by one, with no effective solution in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan acknowledged her limited knowledge on the matter but understood the necessity of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that providing clean food and water, along with ensuring spacious and clean living quarters for the chickens, were crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, during hot weather, she planned to use wormwood to smoke and disinfect the surroundings, while also providing herbal-infused water for the chickens to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had heard of indigenous methods, such as using cactus to prevent chicken plague, she intended to explore this further and locate cactus plants for experimentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjacent to the valley, a stream provided an ideal location for raising ducks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dug several wide ponds along the stream and created numerous ditches with twists and turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water plants were planted, and ducks were introduced, with the area divided into sections for rotation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ensured that the water source remained intact and allowed for adequate recovery time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, he could even make a medium-sized pond to plant lotus roots and raise fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it was beautiful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Liuhe Fort, plans were underway to construct a villa, with additional villas slated for construction at the mountain’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision stemmed from the challenging mountain terrain, particularly the arduous path leading to the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building solely on the mountain would necessitate transporting various supplies, such as warehouses and farm tools, up and down, posing logistical challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, establishing villas at the mountain’s foothills would streamline operations and facilitate easier access for province-wide activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the foremost priority remained road repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their exploration, efforts would be directed towards road construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While not optimal, a passable road would enable carriages to traverse in opposite directions, enhancing transport efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, relying solely on manpower for transportation would prove inefficient, necessitating the use of carriages to ferry goods into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>",590,"2026-06-03T12:01:14.668Z","2026-06-03T12:01:17.503Z",1,"novelbin.me","293c75d4febfd39ba162fc348656db027ca905ce30fa7217f0ac670ef3b4a898","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1918","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1916",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
