Fu Chun was angry: "How can you help outsiders speak? Your uncle is so outstanding, he will definitely be a high-ranking official."

"It's not my father who is a high-ranking official." Fu Xiangrong disapproved, "He is grandpa's nephew, the great-grandpa's son, not from our house."

"What do you know?" Fu Chun glared at him, "If one person is an official, the whole family will benefit, and he is our backer."

Fu Xiangrong refused to accept: "That can't offend the county magistrate."

Fu Chun refused to accept it: "How can she be a county magistrate as a woman? There must be something ulterior in letting such a good-looking husband marry her."

The grandchildren were shocked.Fu Xiangling said weakly: "The county magistrate will be angry when he hears it."

"She can't hear it again." Fu Chun muttered.

The seedlings were all planted, the corn and sweet potatoes were planted, and the county government began to organize [-] days of corvee labor.

The river ponds and drainage ditches that need to be dredged have all been surveyed and re-examined during the rainy season.

"There are only 20 days of corvee in a year, and now I have to do [-] days at once. When will I have to do five days?"

"It's almost the winter solstice, right? I heard that Changping Township builds water conservancy projects every winter solstice."

"They also built a big reservoir."

"Will we have reservoirs? Enclose the water in those mountains too."

"Very likely, I'll just wait until the time comes to work and earn money."

In half a month, Yuan Shuo had a completely new look, everywhere was clean and free of rubbish.The drainage ditches of rural residents in the county can lead to ponds and canals.The dikes and dams that need to be reinforced have been reinforced, and gates have been built in some places, which are equivalent to small reservoirs.Some canals have been dug wide and deep, and the flow direction has been adjusted appropriately to facilitate drainage and water storage.

Chen Fan led the officials of the county government out of the city and headed west.Before, the county captain had arranged for manpower to reclaim [-] acres of wasteland and plowed it deeply. The soil particles were plowed finely and raked evenly.

"You did a great job." Chen Fan praised generously, and the county government grinned.

The tenant farmers transferred by Zhang Ci from the nearest farm had arrived ahead of schedule, bringing pasture and seeds.

Chen Fan told them: "Ten mu of land is planted with pasture, and the ten mu of land is fertilized first and then raised, and the other crops are reserved for planting."

"Grass still needs to be planted?" Si Bing blurted out, and then changed his words: "Grass is very useful. I heard that Changping Township grows a lot of grass."

Some villagers also came from nearby villages, and Zhang Ci showed them the dried alfalfa: "Everyone knows this, right?"

"I know alfalfa. It's on the ridge of the field. I've eaten it." A villager said.

"Yes, if you want to raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in large quantities, you need to plant grass. This kind of alfalfa is liked by all kinds of poultry and livestock. It tastes good, grows fast, and grows strong."

Zhang Ci also showed chicory: "This is called chicory. It can grow for many years after planting once. It doesn't need to be sown every year, which is worry-free. It also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification. It is very beneficial for livestock to eat. The most important thing is , Grass can make the soil fertile. After planting pasture and then planting rice and wheat, the yield will increase.”

The villagers were very happy to hear that, and the officials all had their beards shaved.

The tenant farmers explained the main points of planting to the villagers, and demonstrated the distance and size of the holes, and then sowed the seeds and covered them with a layer of soil.

Everyone began to divide and cooperate, digging holes, sowing seeds, covering soil, and watering.

The officials watched for more than half an hour before Chen Fan led them away.

When he got home, Chen Fan saw Liu Huairong and Liu Huaichang coming.

"Brother, you've worked hard. It's hot on the road, isn't it?"

"Fortunately," Liu Huairong smiled: "We usually run outside, and this year's Xiaoshu is nothing special. All the things have been brought here." It was the goods that were entrusted to Liu's house before coming here.

"Thank you, big brother and second brother. This time, let's stay here for two days. I'll show you around."

Liu Huairong nodded: "Let's take a look, what's different in this border county."

Liu Huaichang pointed to a box and said, "These are watermelon money, I brought them here for you. The account book is also inside, take a look."

"Okay, how are the watermelons doing this year?"

Liu Huairong said with a smile, "Very good. The more experienced the melon farmers are, the more they earn. The sandy soil is really a treasure. Several crops are grown in rotation, and they are all expensive."

The early summer watermelons in Changping Township belonged to the crown prince, and they really made a fortune.The Liu family's watermelons didn't go on the market until the summer solstice, and they were still supplied to Chen Yue, which didn't delay the watermelon business in the capital.

Chen Fan chuckled: "It's good to avoid the limelight, but there is still a long time to make money."

"You haven't done any grape business this season, have you?" Liu Huairong looked at her.

Chen Fan shook his head: "The grapes in Changping Township belong to the prince, and the grapes in the capital farm are not yet ripe. It doesn't matter, they will be on the market next year. There will be new varieties by then."

The housekeeper arranged for people to move all the goods to Yunhe Courtyard, and the others sent by the Liu family were placed in Chen Fan's own room.

We chatted about things at home.

"We all know about you beating the local snake, and now you are doing things more and more simply." Liu Huairong boasted, and Chen Fan smiled: "How old are you, and you are going to be a mother again. After all, you have to be more experienced to be able to Open up the situation, and things will go more smoothly in the future.”

"But it's easy to make enemies like this." Liu Huairong looked worried, "Be careful in everything, you must have people around you. This place is unfamiliar to you, and there are many disobedient people who want to make trouble."

"Thank you brother, I will pay attention. Many people have been brought here, and the county government has directly arranged ten people. Many things can be done openly."
