Li Yifu smiled awkwardly, took a bite of the cucumber and said, "It's very refreshing and delicious." ”

The cucumber has the skin, and Li Yifu finished it in a few bites, and it tasted for a while.

Li Zheng took some crop seeds and took Li Yifu to walk in the village, and now that he has land, he can plant all these seeds.

Coming to a wasteland, Li Zheng said: "This can also be reclaimed here and used to grow things." ”

Looking at this wasteland, Li Yifu bowed down and said: "Jingyang Ling, this land is a wasteland, how can you grow food in this land where even grass can't grow." ”

Li Zheng was walking in this wasteland and observing this land, it was relatively arid, and he dug up a handful of dirt clods.

"It can be used to grow corn, which is more cold-tolerant and easier to grow."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, Li Yifu moistened the brush with saliva, set up a sign here, and wrote the word corn.

After setting up a sign, Li Yifu asked curiously: "What is corn, is it also grain?" ”

"A more drought-tolerant grain." Li Zheng said.

Li Yifu knew that Li Zheng had cured the current queen's illness, which was a great achievement.

If you really want to talk about meritorious deeds, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Zheng's merits went to the Imperial Medical Department to become a medical officer.

I just want these wastelands, and I don't know what Li Zheng thinks.

It's better to stay here with Li Zheng for the time being than to be sent to a remote place to be a county magistrate.

Then I came to a wetland by the river, where the soil was very damp and there was silt under my feet.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "At the mouth of the river, you can build a ditch to divert water into the water, and this land can be used to grow rice. ”

"Okay." Li Yifu let it go, and set up signs on every piece of land according to Li Zheng's arrangement.

"Tomatoes can be planted on the edge of the ridges."

"There's pumpkins there."

"Peanuts are grown here."

……

"The rest of the wasteland is relatively arid, and the rest is used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."

After listening to Li Zheng's arrangement, Li Yifu calculated for a long time and said: "Jingyang Order, there are more than 1,000 acres of land around Jingyang, all of them must be reclaimed?" We don't have enough people. ”

"Then find people, there should be a lot of homeless people near Datang now."

Li Yifu nodded, "In recent years, there have been many disasters, many refugees are near Chang'an, they live outside, and they go to Chang'an to find work to support their families during the day." ”

"Send those displaced people who have nowhere to settle into Jingyang, you register them and make a register, if they have a family and have children at home, they can settle in Jingyang, and try to find someone who has a family."

"Understood." Li Yifu nodded.

Those displaced people left their hometowns with their families because of the disaster and came to Chang'an to make a living, and many of them had no fixed place to live.

Give them a place to settle down, and those homeless people will definitely flock to them, as many as they want.

Li Zheng saw that there were many coolies drinking from the river.

"Li Yifu."

Li Zheng stopped Li Yifu, who was about to go to do business.

Li Yifu came back and said, "What's wrong? ”

Looking at this group of coolies, Li Zheng said to him: "You take the words, try not to let them drink raw water, and usually give them more boiled water." ”

"This ...... What's so important about this? Li Yifu was confused again.

"If you want to do it, you will do it, where is so much nonsense, if you can't do it, I will let Du Ruhui send you back again."

"Jingyang Ling rest assured, the lower officials will do it well." Li Yifu hurriedly said.

If you send it back, you will most likely be sent to a remote place to serve as a county magistrate.

We must seize this opportunity to stay in Jingyang, Li Yifu secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Li Yifu is quite reliable, and thousands of coolies are arranged by him very properly, and he will not disturb the original residents of Jingyang.

After everything was arranged, Li Yifu went to recruit the displaced people first.

Li Zheng put the sweet potatoes into the bonfire and simmered, while watching the coolies sprinkle the rice seeds in the wetland, while thinking in his heart, rice seedlings are very important, and the seedling period is the most difficult to plant.

For this reason, more than half of the rice seeds were left, and some were planted first.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing a playful call, Li Zheng turned his head to see Li Liqing, and hurriedly saluted, "The grass people have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"You should call yourself a subordinate now, and you are no longer a grass citizen." Li Lizhi squinted and smiled.

Glancing at the group of female guards behind Li Lizhen, Li Zheng said to her, "Your Royal Highness the princess, is this going out of the palace without permission again?" ”

"How do you know that I sneaked out, but you don't have to worry, my father and mother love me the most."

"How did you solve the Nine Chapters of Mathematics?" Li Li asked curiously.

"It's very simple, as long as you know the formula and the operation method, you can solve it quickly."

Li Zheng pulled out two sweet potatoes from the charcoal fire, wrapped them in his sleeves hotly, peeled off the charred skin, and took a bite with enjoyment.

"What is this?" Li Li asked curiously.

"Sweet potato, do you want to eat it?" Li Zheng pulled out another one and gave it to her.

Li Lizhi took the sweet potato and imitated Li Zheng's appearance, peeled off the charred skin and ate it in one bite.

"Hmmm! It's fragrant, it's soft and glutinous. "It's the first time Li Lizhi has eaten sweet potatoes.

Now sweet potatoes are still buried in the soil of the Americas, remember that they were introduced to the Central Plains in the Age of Discovery.

Like potatoes, it has a high yield, and growing potatoes and sweet potatoes alone certainly does not meet the diverse needs.

If you eat too much, that's it, and you're just hungry.

Seeing that Li Lizhi was enjoying eating sweet potatoes, Li Zheng stretched out his hand to her and said, "Ten cents for one." ”

"Ten...... Ten Wen? Li Li stood up immediately, "Li Zheng, you and I are still talking about money." ”

"Do you still have a relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess? The princess also has to pay for food drops. Li Zheng still stretched out his hand.

"You!"

The good feeling that I had just now completely collapsed in Li Lizhi's heart at this moment, and where did she get the money from all over her body.

The female guard hurriedly came to report, "Princess, His Royal Highness King Wei has come down." ”

"I ......" Li Lizhi was in a dilemma and said to Li Zheng: "I will give it to you next time, and you are not allowed to tell Qingque that I have been here." ”

Li Lizhen was in a hurry to leave, the princess of the Tang Dynasty was too dangerous, Li Zheng remembered the dynasty of his father's kindness and filial piety, and the princess rebelled.

Sure enough, it's better to keep a distance, Li Zheng couldn't help nodding when he thought of this, looking at his own reflection in the river, I was really too prescient.

Li Lizhi sped up her pace and left, holding half of the leftover sweet potato in her hand, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, "Hmph! ”

Li Tai came to Jingyang County again and found that there were many coolies who were cultivating wasteland, and it was the wasteland that his father gave him that could not grow food.

Maybe Li Zheng doesn't know that these are wastelands that can't grow food, and what is the use of these wastelands, but Li Zheng is so diligent in letting people reclaim them.

Maybe when Li Zheng finds out, he will blame me.

Li Tai felt a little sorry and a little unhappy.

"Brother Li Zheng?" Li Tai found Li Zheng sitting by the river and beckoned.
