Xia Hua's eyes lit up, and his voice was a little louder, "Except for the one hundred acres in the east, the rest of this fertile land is higher than the Gangshui River, as long as the channels are dug between these paddy fields, the water is drained when there is a lot of precipitation, and the water from the Gangshui River can be irrigated in the years with less precipitation, so that as long as the Gangshui River does not flood, the land here can be preserved, and the excavation channel will be faster." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoQinghe City has not had a flood in nearly ten years, but the old people in the village say that Qinghe City has had two floods in the past 30 years, and each time it was a famine. If there is another flood, miss, will you be able to keep this piece of land? ”

Zhen Wanyi took a closer look at these paddy fields, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she said that when she looked at this field, how could she have a strange feeling, it turned out to be here, how could the paddy fields have no canals? Luckily, today is a lucky day. "And what are you going to do?"

Xia Hua took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pointed with his hand, "When the rice is harvested this season, I will ask the tenant farmers to start digging a ditch, from here to dig a one-meter-wide canal to the side of the Gangshui River, and then dig all the lowlands in the east into ponds, which can raise fish, and take out the silt at the bottom of the pond every year to supplement the fertility of the rice fields." ”

Zhen Wanyi was finally sure that she had picked up the treasure this time, but, "How did you think about this?" You specially asked Red Sleeves to bring me here today to listen to you say this, you must have touched a nail in front of your father-in-law, and he didn't promise you. ”

Redsleeves' eyes opened suddenly, and he knelt on the ground hurriedly, "Miss, the slave should be damned." ”

Xia Hua was in a hurry and hurriedly said, "Miss, this is none of my sister's business, I asked her to do this." You're right, my father-in-law really didn't agree to my idea, and I had no choice but to think of giving it a try in front of you. I can assure you that if you let me go and take care of this, I will let you double your production in five years. ”

Zhen Wanyi was not in a hurry to deal with the red sleeves, and she didn't say anything to get her up, "Don't worry, you haven't answered me yet, how did you think of this?" ”

Xia Hua frowned, "These are all things I saw from the book. ”

Zhen Wanyi's brows also furrowed slightly, "Have you ever read?" Can you have a reputation? From which books? ”

Xia Hua was a little annoyed, "Miss, as long as this method works, is it necessary for you to investigate where this method came from?" ”

"However, if you were to hand over such a large piece of Zhuangzi to an insincere person, would you?"

Xia Hua raised two fingers of his right hand, "I, Xia Hua, hereby swear that if I have selfish intentions for Miss Zhen's Grange, heaven and earth will be destroyed, and I will not be able to enter reincarnation." ”

Zhen Wanyi's face turned pale, the ancients were not as good as modern people about oaths and the like, they were all extremely favorable, "You don't have to be like this, then I won't ask you how you know these methods, but you have to tell me your origin." ”

Xia Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "I am from Daping Village, Jiaozi County, but I was conscripted for military service five years ago, and when I returned to my hometown two years ago, I found that the village was gone, and there was no one in the family, so I found a job in this Zhuangzi, and then married a red dress." ”

Zhen Wanyi nodded, I had heard before that when Emperor Zong waved his army north, he continued to recruit troops from the south, causing many villages to lose all the middle-aged men and women, and only the elderly, women and children remained, and some small villages began to merge together.

"Do you know how to read?"

Xia Hua hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I recognize." ”

"Okay, you write a manuscript of your ideas to me, if it can really be done, I will hand over this Zhuangzi to you to take care of."

Xia Hua said happily: "Okay, I'll go back and sort it out and hand it over to Miss tomorrow morning." After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but after glancing at Red Sleeves, he turned around and said, "Miss, I asked Red Sleeves to do this today, if you want to blame me, blame me." ”

Red Sleeves hurriedly said: "Miss, no, it's the slave maid who is good at making claims, it's not my brother-in-law's business, if you want to punish the slave maid, you can punish the slave maid." ”

Zhen Wanyi said helplessly: "Did I say who I would punish?" After speaking, he pulled Red Sleeves, "Red Sleeves, this is only once, if there is a next time, you will not appear by my side again." If there is anything to do with Xia Hua in the future, you can just tell me directly, there is no need to be sneaky like this. ”

Red sleeves kowtowed, with mud on his forehead, but he grinned: "The slave and maid know, the slave and the maid will definitely not be like this again, and the slave and maid will tell you directly about the brother-in-law's affairs in the future, I knew that the young lady agreed so easily, and the slave and maid told you yesterday." After speaking, he smiled heartlessly at Xia Hua.

After walking for about two miles, Zhen Wanyi went back, the sun was rising and the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and her eyes were dizzy, but she saw the people who were still busy working in the field, and sighed: "At noon on this hoeing day, the sweat drops are under the soil. It's really true, farmers are really busy all year round. ”

Red Sleeves said with a smile: "Miss and my brother-in-law always say that my father only knows how to plant the land stupidly, plant the dead land, and the harvest is poor, so that the tenant farmers have not yet run away." If, as my brother-in-law said, the harvest here can be doubled in five years, it would be amazing. ”

Zhen Wanyi nodded, if Xia Hua really did it, then the yield per mu of the high-grade fertile land here would be close to the yield of the modern low-grade field. That's a great thing for the benefit of the people, if it really happens, then her land will be handed over to Xia Hua in the future, which will help her make money, and greatly improve the backward agricultural technology of this society.

In the afternoon, Zhen Wanyi walked around the nearby Zhuangzi, and saw the life of a rural family for the first time, and saw the girl who was fiddling with the loom in the yard, the old man picking vegetables in a vegetable field next to the yard, the woman breastfeeding under the big tree with the child in her arms, and the naughty child chasing chickens and ducks, everything was so strange and interesting.

"It's so comfortable to live like this."

The red skirt listened to it and said with a smile: "Miss only sees such an interesting side, but she doesn't know their worries for a living." Men work in the fields for a year just to ensure that the family has no food, and there are very few people who can have extra money, are you willing to spin and weave cloth day and night? Are those women willing to work hard to raise chickens and ducks? They are not forced to help the family maintain their finances, otherwise where do the clothes on their bodies come from, and what will they do with weddings and funerals? If you look at the clothes they wear, there are very few that don't have patches on weekdays. ”

Zhen Wanyi thought about it carefully, but she was still naïve, and she only stayed on the surface when she saw things. "Is this all the life of a peasant?"

"It's good to be able to live like this, like the people in the next village, there are several families who farm their own land but can't even eat enough after paying taxes, and they have to eat wild vegetables for two or three months a year to survive the famine. Because of the kindness of the lord and wife, we also give preferential treatment to the tenant farmers in the farm, never arrears of wages, and give red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, and let the tenant farmers bring their families to give them land to grow vegetables, which is something that other families dare not think of, so everyone cherishes it extraordinarily. Tenant farmers often steal from other farms, but our farms have never had them, and everyone is afraid of being kicked out of them. ”

The voice of the red dress is a little heavy, people like them who live at the bottom of the society have always looked up to those high-ranking families, and they have always had envy. (To be continued.) )
