My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 276 Passing by Zhounanzhuang

"Madam, do you think this is the wild rice you are looking for?" Yuan San carefully presented a wooden box.

There are a few grains of rice-like things in it, which were picked by wild rice seekers from the wild rice-like grass in the muddy fields by the sea.

Because Jiang Tangtang said that if we could find wild rice grown in saline-alkali land, we could solve the famine crisis.

For such a few grains of rice, everyone regards it as more important than their own lives.Since finding it, it has been carefully packed in wooden boxes and delivered non-stop.

Jiang Tangtang carefully observed the seeds in the wooden box and felt that the peeled rice grains were somewhat similar to sea rice and were brownish-red in color.But it was smaller than the sea rice she had seen in her previous life, only one-third of the sea rice she had seen in her previous life.

She wasn't sure if she had found the wrong one.

However, it is not ruled out that this is wild sea rice. After all, the sea rice she has seen in her previous life were all cultivated by hybrid rice breeding experts, and they were in different time and space, separated by thousands of years, and were different from those she had seen before. possible.

Jiang Tangtang decided to take a look on the spot, "Who discovered it? Are there other wild seedlings?"

"Xiao Xian led his people to discover it in a bay near Yazhou."

Yuan San already knew clearly who discovered it and how he discovered it, and now he explained it carefully to Jiang Tangtang.

"I wonder if Madam has any impression of that gang of assassins? Even if Xiao Xian is the leader of that gang, he was at the front when we went looking for tea trees last year. This time, after hearing that we were looking for wild rice, he took the initiative to find it. I, please, take people to look for wild rice. The people he takes are very hardy and go out to look for it before dawn, even under the scorching sun."

If the wild rice that Madam is looking for is really found, then the great master named Xiao Xian may be the first one mentioned by Madam for important use.

Jiang Tangtang frowned slightly, "Have you noticed that they secretly sent news to Dazhou?"

Yuan San shook his head, "We haven't found it yet. According to the surveillance people, Xiao Xian actually had several opportunities to escape from Lingnan with others, but he never escaped with others."

Jiang Tangtang nodded and put the matter aside for the time being, "Go and arrange the carriages and horses. I'll pack them up. After dinner, we'll go to Yazhou at night."

The long drought makes the weather dry and hot.Traveling at night is actually easier than during the day.

"Yes!" Yuan San accepted the order and resigned.After Jiang Tangtang returned home, she didn't pack her things. Instead, she closed the door and entered the space.

There were more than ten seeds in total that Yuan Sanjiao brought up. Some of them did not grow well, and some had their outer shells peeled off. Only two were plump and intact and could be used as seeds.

She carefully soaked the two seeds in the spiritual spring and planted them in the ground. She prayed secretly that these were wild sea rice.

I also hope that the spiritual spring can continue to work and plant these two seeds.

Nowadays, the official roads in various parts of Lingnan have been opened. In addition, the horses pulling Jiang Tangtang's cart have been eating the spiritual grass and beans in the space for a long time. They are very spiritual and can walk steadily even if they are traveling at night.

At dawn, the group arrived at Yazhou.

Yuan San came to ask, "Madam, this is close to Zhounanzhuang, do you want to turn over and have a rest?"

Jiang Tangtang caught up on his sleep in the carriage last night and didn't feel tired.But she glanced at the accompanying guards, whose faces showed fatigue, and said: "Take a turn at the intersection ahead, go to the village to rest first, and then continue on your way after breakfast!"

The carriage turned a corner and headed towards Zhounanzhuang.

A month ago, when passing by Zhounan Village, Jiang Tangtang came back specially. In order to prevent some precious flowers and herbs from being dried to death, she poured some spiritual spring into the pond on the village.When I took Lili out to water the flowers and plants at night, I also watered the crops on the farm.

Coupled with the fact that there are several large ponds on the village, relying on the water from the ponds, the villagers in Zhounanzhuang are growing slightly better than elsewhere.

Jiang Tangtang saw the villagers harvesting corn, so he got off the carriage and went to see the harvest in the field.

"Madam!" Seeing Jiang Tangtang, the villagers all looked happy.

"How was the harvest?" Jiang Tangtang turned his head to look at the corn harvested by the villagers.

"It's not as good as last year, but the farms next door are much better." The villagers said, and they all said gratefully: "Thanks to the trolley that my wife came up with and watered the crops with the trolley, we won't have no harvest this year." .”

In addition to the trolleys designed and promoted by Jiang Tangtang, I would also like to thank the Lu family for building the roads in the village so well that the trolleys can go to many places.

Several families in other villages jointly purchased a handcart, but unlike their Zhounanzhuang, the roads in other villages were as smooth as pipes, and the handcarts were not allowed to go to many places, which would affect the watering of crops.

But thinking about the dwindling water in the pond, the villagers couldn't help but sigh.

In the beginning, they used wheelbarrows to water the crops in the fields. Now no one is willing to use water from the pond to water the crops.

After all, the water in the pond is getting less and less, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain that day, so everyone still has to save water for drinking.

Thinking about the less and less water, the villagers became depressed, and Jiang Tangtang also felt heavy.

She walked home in silence, thinking about the water source as she walked.

She cannot use a large amount of the spiritual springs in her space.

Not only is the spiritual spring different from ordinary water, but more importantly, there is drought everywhere. If she accidentally reveals her traces and lets others see something, it will be tantamount to putting herself in danger.

We still have to find a way from nature.

Jiang Tangtang thought of the sea water again.

The reason why seawater cannot be drunk is because it contains a lot of salt.It cannot desalinate seawater in large quantities like modern technology, but can it convert seawater into fresh water in small quantities?
For example, using distillation method, water vapor after seawater is heated at high temperature?

Jiang Tangtang was thinking about ways to heat seawater to collect water vapor, and walked back home without realizing it.

Yuan San had already informed the servants at home before Jiang Tangtang. As soon as she arrived home, He Qiuniang personally brought water over, "Madam, you must be exhausted after traveling such a long way. Wash your face first."

Jiang Tangtang glanced at the water in the basin, waved his hand and said: "No need to waste it, I just got out of the car and walked two steps. You can take this water to the accompanying guards!"

"But..." He Qiuniang still wanted to persuade her, but she thought of Jiang Tangtang's stubbornness, so she could only hand the basin to the sister-in-law behind her and ask her to send it to Yuan San and others.

"Time is in a hurry and the cook only had time to prepare some simple meals. Madam, should you eat first or take a rest?"

There is a lot of food in Jiang Tangtang's space, but it is not convenient to take it out. She will not eat the food prepared by He Qiuniang, "I am tired and have no appetite, so I won't eat. You can share it with the guards." .”
