Chapter 324 Three-Character Mantra Repair

Chen Jia rolled up his sleeves and said: "I also learned some truths in Bianliang, Tokyo. An official from the official department told me that if the problem can be solved, it will be solved; if it cannot be solved, the person who raised the problem will be killed." If it is resolved, our county will be able to develop better."

Chailin wished he could slap him twice. If he couldn't solve the problem, he would solve the person who raised the problem. Isn't this deceitful?

"Don't think about it. There is Mr. Zhu in internal affairs and economy, and Wu Song and Deng Fei in law and order. You should be a good example, be a master of Qingtian, and be loved by all people. I have told you several times about how the county will develop. You Do you remember?" Chailin asked.

Chen frame said: "Remember, repair, repair, repair. It will not stop until the spring plowing."

This is the main point of development at this stage, to finish building roads and bridges.Then renovate the river course, dozens of large and small rivers need to be cleaned and dredged, and when the rainy season floods everywhere, how can we do without cleaning and dredging.After repairing the river, repair the city wall.In short, the project can't be stopped, because before I came here, I counted that there are a lot of poor people in the whole county. In winter, many people have a meal at noon, and they don't even go out in cold weather without clothes.Three meals are taken care of on the construction site, and those who can't eat can go to the construction site to make a living and survive the long winter.

Zhu Wu said: "Those who have built the road for more than ten days will be given a pick or shovel, and those who have been repaired for 20 days will be given a set of tools. For those who have repaired the river for more than ten days, I discussed with the county magistrate Chen to distribute a coarse cotton coat. , two catties of salt. When the city wall is repaired, we will distribute hoes for farming and five catties of pickles. Ordinary strong men are conscripted peasants, but skilled craftsmen are paid for their wages."

"Okay, that's it. Stop working when it's very cold, and start working when the weather is better."

Chai Lin talked a lot with Wu Song, Deng Fei and others before leading his soldiers back to Cangzhou.

As soon as the team entered the Cangzhou area, there were construction sites everywhere, those who repaired rivers, built reservoirs, planted green trees on the side of the road, and repaired bridges.Su Zhifu and Chen Zhuang were both taught by the same master, and this master was Chai Lin.

Tossing, it is really possible to toss, every slack season starts to build everywhere, but let alone, the changes are very huge.The gravel road is very smooth, and the roadbed is higher than before, so it will not be easily washed away by the flood.

In the south of Leling City, there are many waterwheels standing beside the river. The waterwheels are turning slowly, watering the winter wheat.

Dian Zhengnan said: "It's better to be in our base camp. There are so many waterwheels in other places. Look at how many waterwheels we have."

"A waterwheel costs more than ten taels of silver, and Cangzhou is relatively affluent, so it sells a lot." Chailin said.

Xie Bao said: "Both sides of the river are either water wheels or water poles. The development of water conservancy facilities is really fast, and the increase in food production is definitely possible."

"Water conservancy construction, it will be Yizhou's turn next year. Sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes must first be promoted in the north of Yizhou. The conditions in the Cangzhou Plain are relatively good, and it is more beneficial to grow cotton." Chailin said.

Just as he was talking, a group of officials came ahead, and the leader was Shi Wenbing, the magistrate of Leling County.

Shi Wenbing was quite polite, and said from a long distance: "Master Chai, please stay."

Chai Lin dismounted, came over to salute and said, "What a coincidence, what is Master Shi doing?"

"Persuading farming and mulberry, and developing water conservancy. This is the keynote set by the prefect of Su. Naturally, I will check the winter watering of mulberry trees and wheat. It will be lunch time soon, and I will invite Master Chai to go to the city to have a meal before Let's go, I haven't seen Mrs. Chai for a long time, let's have a good chat today." Shi Wenbing was very enthusiastic.

Chai Lin knew that he had something to do, so he couldn't shirk it. A group of people entered the city, found a similar restaurant with Shi Wenbing, and went in. Dian Zhengnan, Xie Bao and other soldiers ate on the first floor.

Chai Lin and Shi Wenbing were about to go up to the second floor.

Xiaoer said: "You two guests, the private seats upstairs are full, how about making a living in the lobby."

Xiaoer doesn't know these two people, but the shopkeeper does.

The shopkeeper saw that such an important person said that there were no seats left. There were vacant private seats in the store, but they didn't use them easily.Wishing to slap Xiao Er a few times, he hurried over and said, "Master Shi, Master Chai, please upstairs, please upstairs. The guy is new here, he doesn't know the rules."

The shopkeeper invited the two adults into the private seat and drank the tea first.

The high-grade table paper produced by Chaijiazhuang is placed on the table, and the exquisite bamboo chopsticks are also produced by Chaijiazhuang.

Shi Wenbing said: "Arrange a few special dishes, Master Chai and I will have a good drink or two."

The shopkeeper is a little embarrassed, there is no standard for what is a specialty dish, and restaurant owners are most afraid of this. If they are not satisfied later, it is not a matter of money. As for the lack of his food and drink money.

Chai Lin said: "Here are the Yellow River carp, fried pork with hot pepper, and dry-stir-fried beans. Is there anything else you want to add, Mr. Shi?"

"Enough is enough, enough to eat." Shi Wenbing said.

The shopkeeper went down to arrange for the chef to cook. Shi Wenbing poured a cup of tea for Chai Lin and said, "Master Chai, I heard about your farm. There are good treasures. Sweet potatoes and corn are good things. It’s so high, after the new year, let your business firm promote more in Leling, so that my little county magistrate will look better in the county annals.”

Chai Lin smiled and said: "Master Shi has a good nose, but these kinds of things are just developing, I must first plant them myself, and then promote them. One is to explore the technology, and the other is the lack of seeds. After that In this year, I will promote a small amount of corn and plant it after the wheat harvest, and the yield per mu will still be [-]-[-] jin. In addition, I plan to promote some cotton, and the income per mu planted after the wheat harvest will always be high.”

"It's always a lot. It's true. If you grow sorghum, you can only earn a few hundred cash per mu. I've heard that cotton is planted in April by people in the Western Regions. Wouldn't it be a month too late to replant the wheat? "Shi Wenbing didn't quite believe it.

"Master Shi must believe in the wisdom of the farmers. It is right to plant in April. We plant in April. The wheat harvest is already in May, so it must be too late." Chailin said.

Shi Wenbing scratched his head and said, "I still don't understand. There is still wheat in the field in April. Even if the cotton seeds germinate, I'm afraid they won't grow. Although I have never planted the field, I often go to the field. Mr. Chai Do not lie to me."

"Haha, you know one thing, but you don't know the other. Seedling cultivation and transplanting are as simple as that. When the weather is ready to grow cotton in early April, I quickly find a place with good water and fertilizer to raise seedlings. The seedling land used for one acre of cotton land is very small. , a few dining tables are enough. In May, the cotton seedlings in the nursery grew to a height of one 拃, and the wheat was harvested. After the wheat field was plowed, the cotton seedlings were transplanted with soil. There are only more than 3000 cottons on the ground, so it is very convenient to transplant. If you want to further increase the survival rate, you can use strong paper bags to raise seedlings, and then plant them together with the bags.” Chailin said.

Shi Wenbing was stunned, and said: "Master Chai is really a genius in the world, and he has the same effect as your greenhouse vegetable. It's really amazing."

"This is just a small method. It was all figured out by farmers in the field. Look at the water poles all over the river. Aren't they all thought up by farmers thousands of years ago, in order to save effort and make more To irrigate the land well, you have to use your brains. Master Shi, don’t be too optimistic, I will arrange commercial companies to promote new crops, but farmers are conservative in their thinking, so it’s hard to say how much they can accept.” Chailin said.
