Chapter 59
It is precisely because Song Qingzhai and Xu Ji are not afraid of being dirty or tired that the common people gradually became willing to get close to them from being afraid of them at the beginning.

Knowing that Xu Ji is very familiar with the cultivation of crops, I am more willing to discuss farming with her.

Xu Ji doesn't talk much, but listens more often, and occasionally says a few words, which can be to the point.

In particular, the new farm tools she brought were not much different from the old ones, but they were more convenient and labor-saving to use. The people liked the young county head even more.

In particular, everyone found that the crops planted this year, whether it was beans or sorghum, grew extraordinarily fat, and the pods and sorghum ears produced were much larger than those they had planted before.

Those corns and sweet potatoes are also growing very well.

Xu Ji also asked Song Qingzhai to find someone to drill two wells for each village to make water more convenient for the villagers.

Then, before the busy season of farming came, the villagers were organized to repair or renovate their houses.

Naturally, it is still made of mud walls and grass roofs, but the degree of firmness is not the same.

Moreover, Xu Ji slightly improved the flue according to the local conditions and combined with the principle of the original local kang. In this way, it not only saves firewood when burning the kang in winter, but also has better heating performance.

The height of the house has been increased by three inches, and the width and depth have also increased, making the living environment of the villagers much better.

Some thoughtful villagers saw that Xu Ji had specially assigned people to raise poultry, so they discussed whether they could get some chicks to raise.

People from the breeding bureau reported to Xu Ji, Xu Ji shook his head, "You can let them come to work, and you can calculate the wages according to the time."

She is raising chickens scientifically, okay?Regularly disinfect the chicken coop and give the chickens anti-blast medicine.

Who among the common people can do it?

Song Qingzhai knew about it, so he said to her: "I've never heard of people being allowed to raise chickens. I know you have your own ideas, but many times you can be flexible."

Xu Ji thinks about it carefully, and it makes sense, if he really doesn't support them, it's nothing now, as time goes by, something will happen.

So she changed her words: "That's okay, let them come to get the medicine every half a month, and the chicken coop and the chickens must spray and take medicine regularly."

Song Qingzhai also knew that once chicken plague occurred, it might affect the lives of villagers, so he praised it.

When they were free, Xu Ji and Song Qingzhai said, "I kept an account."

"You don't need to tell me about the accounts," Song Qingzhai waved his hand, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me, and the emperor and I will go get it."

Xu Ji curled his lips, "I'm afraid it's not good and I will come out again. I'm not showing you this account book, it's in case the emperor will check the account in the future."

Song Qingzhai couldn't help but praise her for her carefulness.

Xu Ji smiled, this is the way to deal with such a person!

As expected by Xu Ji, within a few days, Hanlin editor Feng Zhang was ordered to check the accounts.

It took more than half a day just to find Xu Ji and Song Qingzhai, and it was nearly dusk when they found them.Xu Ji was standing in the cornfield breaking corn, and Song Qingzhai followed behind her, carrying a basket in which seven or eight green corns had already been placed.

Xu Ji also said excitedly: "When we go back, we will ask Mother Wen to cook for us. It's delicious!"

Song Qingzhai was keenly aware that someone was watching, so he signaled Xu Ji to stop, and when he turned his head, he saw Feng Zhang who had just hidden his disdainful expression.

When Feng Zhang saw Xu Ji holding his trouser leg, showing a section of Bai Shengsheng's calf, he felt quite contemptuous in his heart.
