Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 35
Xiao Yilin frowned when he heard the conversation between the two subordinates, he was not very happy, "Feng Zhi, watch more, don't let those villagers who have wrong ideas plot Mr. Chu.

How can a person like Mr. Chu with excellent medical skills, young and promising, and quick thinking be worthy of the vulgar fans in the village.In the future, I will find a gentle and virtuous girl with a comparable family background for Mr. Chu. "

When Xiao Yilin thought of those vulgar country girls in the village rationing boys, he felt that he had humiliated the boys.He should be matched with the best woman in the world, both talented and beautiful.

On the first day of land reclamation, the large population cleared up three acres of wasteland before evening.

After Jing Yi passed the inspection, he paid the family ninety cash on the spot.

The family was very happy to see that they had earned [-] Wen a day, and reserved another five mu of land on the spot to continue to open up wasteland.

Others were excited when they saw that their wages were paid, and they worked a lot faster.

On the first day, some people sorted out the wasteland that they had set up for their family one after another, and Jing Yi also paid wages one after another.

On the first day, almost a hundred acres of wasteland were opened.The villagers saw that they had really made money, and every family asked for a larger area the next day.

Land reclamation is settled according to the area, and Jing Yi doesn't need to watch on the spot, just check whether the field is qualified in the evening and settle the wages.

At the same time, the [-] mu of fertile land that Jing Yi bought was turned over, and then some vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radish, and spinach were planted.In particular, Chinese cabbage and radish are vegetables that are often eaten in winter, and they are the most grown.

It is definitely not possible to grow food this year, but some vegetables can be harvested.

Jing Yi asked the village head, although the winter here is not so cold, it will freeze at the coldest time.That means the temperature is below zero.Although the time is short, the farming is unbearable.So growing food doesn't work.

However, the growth cycle of vegetables is short, especially some leafy vegetables can be eaten as long as the leaves are almost long, so it is not a big problem.

Jingyi grows Chinese cabbage and radishes to make kimchi and pickles in winter.But Jing Yi was a little discouraged when he thought that there was no chili here. Although he could make other flavors of kimchi or sauerkraut without chili, it was like losing his soul without chili.Looks like we still have to find peppers as soon as possible.

After the land has been sorted out, Jingyi has to have people dig ditches and use water to wash out the salinity in the saline-alkali land to reduce the salinity of the land.

In order to fill the fields with water, besides digging canals, waterwheels have to be made.

In her previous life, Jingyi had seen waterwheels in some scenic spots in the south, and understood their principles. She had also seen the introduction of those traditional waterwheels, and also seen simple drawings.

When she got home, Jingyi took out a piece of white paper and got a thin wooden branch from the kitchen as a charcoal pencil, recalling the drawings she saw in her previous life, and drew them bit by bit.

After repeated revisions, Jing Yi took the blueprints and went to Village Chief Wang.

When they arrived at the village chief’s house, Jing Yi asked, “Uncle Wang, is there any carpenter with very good craftsmanship in our village? I want to build some waterwheels.”

Wang Xuhuai asked, "Water wheel? What is that?"

Jing Yi said: "The water in the river can be transferred to the canal by water truck, and then flowed along the canal to the fields. The wasteland is saline-alkali land. I want to wash the salt out of the field with water, so that I can plant some Salt-alkali tolerant crops."

Wang Xuhuai's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he asked excitedly, "Is there really such a thing?"

Jing Yi took out the blueprint and said: "I've already drawn the blueprint, let's make one and try it out, if it doesn't work, I'll improve it, the waterwheel is definitely fine.

With the waterwheel, it will be much more convenient for other people in our village to irrigate their fields.

Of course Wang Xuhuai hoped that the waterwheel could be made, "Wang Dalin in our village is a carpenter, you can let him try."

Wang Dalin's family also participated in land reclamation. Wang Xuhuai asked a village child to call Wang Dalin back and told him about building water trucks.

This is a technical job that is sure to make more money than land reclamation. Wang Dalin took over this job and let the rest of the family continue to land reclamation, and let his eldest son, who also has some craftsmanship, build waterwheels with him.

This waterwheel is a new item. If it can be used to irrigate the fields, it will really solve a big problem.

Jing Yi bought high-quality wood and gave it to Wang Dalin to make waterwheels, and she would visit Wang's house from time to time.

Feng Zhi went to visit the wasteland from time to time, and when he returned to his lord, he sighed, "Young master Chu is really smart. Land reclamation is settled according to the number of acres opened by the family, so that no one will be lazy, and young master Chu will not waste money. .This time, land reclamation will be quick, and it is estimated that more than 1000 mu of land can be sorted out in more than ten days. Mr. Chu is really amazing."

Xiao Yilin, who was lying on a deck chair in the yard basking in the sun, said: "Young Master Chu understands people's hearts very well, and his method can mobilize people's enthusiasm to the greatest extent."

While Xiao Yilin was enjoying the sunlight, suddenly a hidden guard appeared in front of Xiao Yilin and knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, the chief executive received the news that King Xuan is coming to our Huizhou mansion after the disaster relief in Yuezhou mansion. Arrived, the Chief Manager please return home as soon as possible."

When Gu Yu heard this, he felt as if he was facing a big enemy, "My lord, King Xuan's visit this time must have malicious intentions, we have to plan early. Don't let him find out that your health has improved greatly and you are expected to recover."

Xuan Wang Xiao Yitai is the eldest prince of the current emperor, and his mother is the imperial concubine Lu Shi.King Xuan has always coveted the throne.

Back then, King Xuan was involved in assassinating Xiao Yilin and poisoning Xiao Yilin.That's why people in Prince Jing's mansion hated him to the bone.But there is no conclusive evidence, and because of his identity, he can't do anything to him.

Xiao Yilin's eyes flickered when he heard the words of the dark guard, his face darkened, and his brows gradually frowned. His already thin and out-of-shape face had grown a little flesh in the past few days, and he looked no longer so skinny, which made him look good His face is more handsome as jade.

Xiao Yilin knew he couldn't stay here any longer.He came here to keep it secret, and he would never let those people know that Chu Jingyan was treating him, and he could even completely heal his body.

If those people found out, not only would Chu Jingyan's family be in danger, but they would also attack him again.

Now he has to keep a low profile and fully heal his body before he can do what he wants to do.Without a good body, everything else is empty talk.

Xiao Yilin pondered for a while and said: "Feng Zhi, you go and find Mr. Chu, Gu Yu, pack your things, we are going to go back."

Gu Yu frowned when he heard this, "My lord, your health has just improved a bit, will all your previous efforts be wasted if you go back at this time?"

Xiao Yilin said: "Bring Mr. Chu back and ask him what he said."

When Feng Zhi heard this, he hurried to find someone.

Gu Yu hurried back to the room to pack the things they were going to take away.
