The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 223
July is like fire, even though Hengshan is located in the north, the weather at this time is already so hot that people can't stop sweating.But now Hengshan is in the joy of a good harvest, because the sweet potato harvest season has arrived.

Lin Yifan personally came to the sweet potato plantation to participate in the harvest.Under the command of Liu Laogen, Minister of Agriculture, everyone carefully cut the vines into sections and placed them in baskets.After a while, someone specially assigned to take these baskets away and went to the open space not far from here to continue planting.Whether it is planting, soil cultivation, watering, etc., there are dedicated personnel to operate, and the whole process is carried out in an orderly manner.

The ridges were dug up by a hoe, and soon there were bunches of huge sweet potatoes, each of which was thicker than a human arm.

Lin Yifan pulled out a bunch of sweet potatoes weighing more than ten kilograms, and was so happy from ear to ear, he quickly and cleanly removed the soil on them, and carefully put them into the wooden basket beside him.

"Brother, look, I dialed this out, it's so heavy, come and help me." A panting voice came from the side, and Lin Shuwan was seen dragging a large bunch of sweet potatoes, her face blushing. He looked at Lin Yifan proudly and pitifully.

"You girl, I told you not to come. If you insist on coming, I'll make you tired." Lin Yifan clapped his hands, stood up, and was about to go over to help.

"Sister Shuwan, I'll come." Before Lin Yifan could walk over, a figure flashed by, and without losing the opportunity, he rushed to her, picked up the bunch of sweet potatoes, and put them directly into the basket.

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, Luo Feng really has a sharp eye and a quick hand, he knows how to see where every stitch is needed.Then he gave him a meaningful look, continued to squat down and smiled and said, "Luo Feng, you can work with Shuwan, it's not tiring to work with men and women. Haha!"

"Okay, brother-in-law, don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders." Luo Feng cast a grateful look, and happily agreed.

Lin Shuwan's face became more and more flushed, she glanced at Luo Feng quietly, and said softly, "Thank you, brother Luo Feng."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Luo Feng waved his hands a little helplessly, and laughed nervously.

The corners of Lin Shuwan's mouth raised slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly squatted down to continue her work.

Seeing this, Luo Feng quickly squatted down, "I'll do it, I'll do the physical work, you take a rest first."

"Brother Luo, you just underestimate me. At home, I also did farm work. When I do things, I'm not bad at all." Lin Shuwan curled her mouth and gave him a disconvinced look.

"Uh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to give you a break. I, I don't mean anything else." Seeing that she was angry, Luo Feng hurriedly explained.

"Hee hee, brother Luo, I'm joking, I know what you mean. Thank you." Lin Shuwan smiled sweetly, as gentle as a spring breeze, "I can't rest now. My sister-in-law once said that women are no worse than men, men and women Each holds up half the sky. If we women want to be self-reliant, we must use our ability to prove ourselves. Now I also need to use my actions to prove myself. What you men can do, we can do too."

Plop!Lin Yifan couldn't help but staggered when he heard this, and the sweet potato fell to the ground.No way, is it possible that even my younger sister is going to start walking in the direction of a female man?What I want is a sister who sticks to me every day, a sister who likes to act like a baby and cry.It's not a younger sister who can solve everything by herself. If so, what do you want my brother to do?What sense of accomplishment do I have as a brother?

On the other hand, Luo Feng on the side had no prejudice against this, and nodded in approval, "Sister Shuwan is a woman who does not give way to men, and makes people love and admire her."

"Brother Luo has won the award, but my younger sister doesn't dare to take it." Lin Shuwan shyly said while removing the soil from the sweet potato, "It's the sister-in-law who is the most heroic woman. I once saw her riding a red horse and wearing a red military uniform. Linlin, it looks so enviable, at that moment, I felt that my sister-in-law is the real woman in this world. Alas, it's a pity that I don't know how to ride a horse, otherwise I can be like my sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Lin Yifan snorted in grief and indignation, what a woman looks like, she is almost becoming a man.Mixing with a group of women all day long, the entire presidential palace is empty, and there is no feeling of home.But, then again, Luo Qing'er in military uniform is really stunning.Recalling the uniform temptation that day I played with her, I suddenly felt hot all over and my mouth was dry.

After Luo Feng heard her words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he quickly seized the opportunity, "What is this, I am the commander of the cavalry, if, if you want to ride a horse, I, I can teach you."

"Really?" Lin Shuwan's eyes showed excitement, seeing Luo Feng nodding, she couldn't help cheering, "Great, I can finally ride a horse, thank you Brother Luo!"

Lin Yifan really wanted to discourage the two of them, but riding a horse was a basic means of transportation for Hengshan, and Lin Shuwan would have to learn it sooner or later.Moreover, this was an opportunity for Luo Feng to finally figure out how to approach Lin Shuwan and gain her favor, and it was even more impossible for him to miss this opportunity.Alas, that's it, if you don't want to stay in a female university, she can do whatever she wants.

After a busy day, the five hundred acres of sweet potato fields on the farm were finally harvested.The next day, Liu Laogen came excitedly to report the results of this harvest to Lin Yifan.

"Congratulations, Sir, congratulations, our sweet potato harvest this time has greatly exceeded our expectations, it can be described as a bumper harvest." Liu Laogen happily handed the calculated report to Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan took the report and said with a smile: "This official also felt it. This time I harvested, I expected that this harvest might be unexpected, but I didn't expect it to be so. Tell me, this time we harvested a lot." How many?"

"My lord, now we only counted the harvest of 130 mu on the farm. After one night's counting, we finally got the total harvest of more than 1 million catties. In conversion, it is at least more than 1 stones." Liu Laogen said excitedly , "More than [-] stones of sweet potatoes were harvested in just [-] acres, which is much higher than the yield of wheat. If you want to produce [-] stones of wheat, you need to cultivate at least three to four thousand acres of land. This difference is really too big up."

"Yes, but wheat is the foundation of people's livelihood. No matter how high-yield sweet potatoes are, they cannot replace wheat. However, with sweet potatoes, we can rely on them to survive the famine even in disaster years. Therefore, sweet potatoes The planting needs to continue to expand." Lin Yifan nodded and said with emotion.

"This matter is already in progress. After inoculation, the planting of sweet potatoes on our farm has expanded four or five times, and a total of [-] mu of land has been reclaimed to grow sweet potatoes. It will be another big harvest when the autumn harvest comes." Liu Laogen reported confidently.

"Yes, this is a good start. In a few years, our Hengshan will be full of sweet potatoes." Lin Yifan showed a gratified smile, "I think the sweet potatoes from Hengshan have already been obtained, and we must send people to buy them as soon as possible. The sweet potatoes in the hands of the people benefit the people and encourage them to continue to expand and plant."

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter has already started."

After talking with Liu Laogen about farming, not long after, Han Santie rushed over sweating profusely, panting heavily: "My lord, there is important news. We, we have found an iron mine!"

"What?" Lin Yifan stood up in shock, "You said, you found iron ore?"

"Yes, it's in the branch of the Hengshan Mountain in the east of Xiazhou. Our people found iron ore there, but the size of the vein has yet to be confirmed."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and send people to investigate that ore vein, and I will mobilize a group of people to mine it as soon as possible." Lin Yifan raised his hand and said happily, "Finally found a new iron ore, otherwise, the development of our Hengshan will be in jeopardy." It's going to be stuck in a bottleneck."

"That's true, but it's a pity that the charcoal has not been found yet. If we find it, the bottleneck of our smelting will be broken." Han Santie said regretfully.

"The world is so big, we will find it one day." Lin Yifan said coldly, with a hint of domineering air in his eyes, "with iron, we can forge excellent weapons and armor, and train a group of elite fighters. If there is no coal on our side of Hengshan, then we can use the swords and guns in the hands of soldiers to snatch what we want from the hands of the enemy."

After finding the iron ore, the entire Hengshan senior management breathed a sigh of relief. The Bailongshan iron mine is getting scarcer day by day, which makes the Hengshan senior management worried. will be controlled by people.Not only do you have to spend a lot of money on purchases, but you also have to worry about the other party stopping the transaction at any time. For Hengshan, it is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.Now that iron mines have finally been found in Hengshan in the east, everyone's worries about the future no longer exist.

Although the size of the iron ore is not yet known, the exploitation must be carried out as soon as possible.Lin Yifan immediately ordered to dispatch a team to the Hengshan Iron Mine in the east for initial deployment.Then, a group of artisans sent by the Ministry of Works went to mine.
