When vegetables are exposed to sunlight, they will photosynthesize, which is necessary for plant growth, but at the same time, there will also be transpiration, and the water in the leaves will be evaporated, which requires a well-developed root system to provide water continuously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The root system of plants, especially fibrous roots, is very fragile, as long as transplantation occurs, it will cause more or less damage to the root system, so that the water provided by the roots can not meet the transpiration of the leaves, and the consequence is that the leaves are gone, or even die directly.

Therefore, in the early stage of transplanting plants, we must reduce the transpiration of plants as much as possible, avoid exposing plants to strong sunlight, ensure survival first, and let the roots gradually repair, and then grow normally.

It is for this reason that Ang Lee decided to transplant the plants in the evening to ensure that they would survive.

After deciding to develop the land outside the city, Li An asked Zhao Liu to buy more servants to expand the human resources of the mansion and avoid the lack of manpower that would lead to no one doing farm work.

Now the number of servants in the mansion is relatively large, and all of them add up to forty, half of men and half of women.

Li An asked Zhao Liu to gather twenty servants and let them start working immediately, carefully digging up the plants in the vegetable greenhouse in the large backyard, destroying the root system as little as possible, and putting them on the flat wooden planks that had already been built.

The roots of these plants all retain a lot of soil, after all, there is water in these soils, which ensures that the plants can still absorb a small amount of water during transportation and sustain their life.

The vegetable greenhouse in the big backyard is as much as one acre, and the vegetable seedlings inside grow densely, even if twenty people work together, the workload is also very huge, Li An and Zhao Liu personally went to the field to help these servants work together, after all, the curfew is coming, if you take a step late, these vegetables will not be transported out of the city on time, and if they are left in the mansion overnight, it will cause a great drop in the survival rate.

"Husband, I'll bring grass to help you."

Yan Ruyu changed into light clothes and walked into the vegetable greenhouse in the big backyard with her personal maid Cao'er.

As a descendant, Li Ang naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and smiled lightly: "Madame can come to help, I'm very happy, come here, let's dig vegetables together." ”

Yan Ruyu and Cao'er's work speed is not fast, but it is better to work with one more person than one less, and the speed has increased a little.

The planks on which the vegetables are placed have three sides and side boards, for which these planks can be stacked together, which is very convenient for transportation and easy to place.

Before the sun sets, most of the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable greenhouse in the big backyard are placed on wooden planks and loaded onto transport trucks to be transported to the vegetable greenhouses fifteen miles outside the city.

"Husband, do you want to personally escort these vegetable seedlings to the outside of the city?"

Yan Ruyu was a little reluctant to Ang Li.

"Madam, this batch of vegetable seedlings is very important, only I know how to plant them, and I don't worry about handing them over to others?"

Li An opened his mouth to explain, after all, these servants are not all farmers, many people do not know much about the technology of growing vegetables, and Li Ang has a more scientific plan, which must be personally directed on the spot in order to play better.

"Husband, I'm going too, I don't want to be alone at home, lonely."

Yan Ruyu pouted and complained, this well-informed lady, since marrying Ang Lee, has actually learned boldly, this can be regarded as a husband and wife!

Li An didn't plan to take Yan Ruyu there, after all, Li An was planning to work all night, wouldn't it be too hard to let Yan Ruyu follow him, and besides, the other courtyard has not been built yet, and there is no suitable place to live, in this cold weather, let Yan Ruyu freeze in the wild, how can Li An bear it.

"Madam, the weather is too cold at night, and the wind is biting in the wilderness, and the courtyard has not been built, so it is not suitable for you to go, and you don't even have a place to live."

Li An thought about it, but still refused ruthlessly.

"Is the husband planning to stay awake all night? Ruyu is willing to accompany her husband all the time, if you don't sleep, I won't sleep either. ”

Yan Ruyu suddenly became bolder, and actually disobeyed Ang Lee's arrangement.

Li An grinned and nodded, "Okay, since my wife has made up her mind, let's prepare well!" Cao'er, carry the coat and quilt into the carriage, and if the lady is tired, sleep in the carriage, and go! ”

"Yes, Aaron."

Cao'er happily ran to hug the quilt and coat, while Zhao Liu went to prepare the carriage.

If Yan Ruyu didn't propose to go outside the city, Li An would just ride a horse and take these servants to push the transport ship, but Yan Ruyu insisted on going, so he had to prepare a warm carriage to prevent Yan Ruyu from being blown ill by the cold wind.

Li An's carriage, the specifications are still good, especially the space inside is quite large, there is no problem to stuff more than a dozen people, Yan Ruyu and Cao'er are sitting in it, it looks very spacious.

The facilities here have been carefully renovated by Ang Lee, and they are very well equipped, you can sit or lie down to sleep, and even a corner is specially separated for toilet use, just like the RV of later generations.

Because it was a cold winter, the carriage was wrapped around two layers of thick cloth, the outer layer was used to block the wind, and the inner layer was used to keep warm.

Yan Ruyu and Cao'er sat in such a comfortable carriage, and they didn't feel the cold outside at all, but Li An on horseback was different, the cold and biting cold wind pierced his face, but Li An was strong and didn't care about the cold at all.

Before the curfew, Li An and his party left the city gate smoothly and went straight to the other courtyard fifteen miles away.

"Husband, it's so cold outside, let's sit in the carriage!"

Yan Ruyu gently lifted the side curtain, and suddenly, a cold wind blew directly into the carriage, making Yan Ruyu shiver, and her tender little face seemed to have been cut by a knife.

"Madam, close the curtain of the car, your husband is still the best man in the Tang Dynasty, how can he be afraid of the cold wind? Ha ha! ”

Li An laughed loudly and asked Yan Ruyu to close the curtain of the car, facing the cold wind is the true nature of a man, and hiding in the car box will only promote laziness and weakness.

Yan Ruyu threw a wink at Li An, and when she saw Li An smiling at herself, she gently closed the car curtain, and her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"Madame's smile is so sweet!"

Cao'er leaned into Yan Ruyu's ear and teased in a low voice, although they have always been a master-servant relationship, but in fact they are like sisters, and this relationship will last a lifetime, as long as Yan Ruyu does not release Cao'er's slavery, Cao'er will always be a maid.

As a maid to marry, that is, Ang Lee's property, it can also be understood as Ang Lee's woman, but this woman's status will always be a maid in marriage, even if she gives birth to a child to the master, she has the same low status, and the child she gives birth to is the so-called concubine, which should be lower than the concubine of the average concubine.

"Cao'er, you're making fun of me again, see if I don't clean you up."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, pressed Cao'er under her, and scratched Cao'er's armpit with her hand, suddenly full of the heroine's domineering, Cao'er had to beg for mercy.

Listening to the laughter coming from the carriage, Ang Li was in a good mood, planting vegetables overnight was a very boring and hard work, but when he came with ******, his mood was different.

The fifteen-mile journey was really not far, and when it was just dark, the group arrived at Li An's thousand acres of land, and went directly to a vacant land next to the waterwheel.

"My lady, you can get out of the car."

Li An jumped off the war horse, walked to the side of the carriage, gently lifted the curtain, and let Yan Ruyu get out of the car.

"Wow, it's so cold outside!"

Yan Ruyu was blown by the cold wind, and she couldn't help but fight a cold war.

"Madam, it's cold outside, put on your coat quickly."

Li An said with great concern, and stretched out his hand, ready to carry Yan Ruyu out of the car.

"Husband, how many people are watching?"

"They are all servants, there are no outsiders, good, come on!"

Li An opened his arms and waited for Yan Ruyu to throw herself into his arms.

Yan Ruyu's eyes closed, jumped down violently, and was caught by Li An steadily.

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

Li An laughed a few times and spun in place with Yan Ruyu in his arms, it felt so cool.

Although there were people next to him, these people were all servants of Li An's family, and under Zhao Liu's eyes, most of them were working honestly, and almost no one dared to look at Li An and Yan Ruyu, at most they glanced at them with their spare eyes.

After making love with Yan Ruyu for a while, Li An took the slave and started working.

Although he had told these servants in advance how to plant plants, Li An was still a little uneasy, so he came in person.

The 500 acres of land have been watered, which is very suitable for growing vegetable seedlings, and of course, after planting, it must be watered again to ensure that the vegetable seedlings can get enough water supplement.

Twenty servants was certainly not enough, and Ang Lee took eighty more men from the coolies who had built the annex, and made them work overnight, giving them double their wages.

In addition, in order to finish as quickly as possible, the team was divided into ten groups of ten people and started working at the same time.

In this way, the average person has to work five acres of land, which is a very large workload, and the pressure is still very huge to do so much work overnight, in addition, there are watering and other related work, and the pressure is even greater.

Ten groups of people immediately began to work, and no one dared to be lazy, while Li An inspected one group at a time, and immediately gave guidance to those who did not do well, so that they could revise as soon as possible so as not to cause more losses.

Because he has to take care of ten groups of people in a row, Li An naturally has no time to work in person, Zhao Liu has to accompany Li An all the time, Yan Ruyu and Cao'er follow Li An all the way to inspect, and ask this and that from time to time, as if they are very curious about anything new.

Under the guidance of Ang Lee for more than an hour, the ten groups of servants gradually understood Ang Lee's intentions, and worked hard in strict accordance with Ang Lee's requirements.

Zhao Liu had fully understood the planting methods of various plants, and when Li An was resting, he took the place of Li An and went to each group of greenhouses to urge the servants and people to work quickly, saving Li An a lot of trouble.

In the place where the carriage was parked, Yan Ruyu and Cao'er looked at the two huge waterwheels curiously, as if they had never seen such a thing before.

In fact, waterwheels have been around for a long time, but they have not been popularized in backward feudal society.

"This is a waterwheel, it is for irrigation, do you want to try it."

Li An smiled lightly, he really wanted to see if Yan Ruyu and Cao'er could push the waterwheel, and what their posture was like when they pushed the waterwheel.

"Waterwheel, I seem to have seen it in a book, how to use this, husband, you teach me."

Yan Ruyu suddenly remembered that she had seen the graphics of the waterwheel in the book, and her curiosity suddenly became great, and she wanted to do it herself to transport the water source to a high place.

"This waterwheel, it's very simple to use, you just need to stand on it and pedal it with your feet, try it!"

Li An smiled lightly and helped Yan Ruyu over, and Cao'er also followed on the pedal.

Yan Ruyu and Cao'er, holding the wooden pole with both hands, pedaled hard under their feet, but the progress was very slow, because the water below was too deep, and the diameter of the waterwheel was also very large.

"Madam, grass, you have to work hard, how can you step on it without force, force, force."

Ang Lee encouraged the two, but he stood aside and admired.

Yan Ruyu and Cao'er refused to admit defeat, gritted their teeth and stepped on the pedal under their feet with all their might, and it was very difficult to make the waterwheel turn.

As the bamboo tube filled with water rose little by little, the pressure of the waterwheel increased, but the two of them worked hard, insisted on pedaling, and finally scattered the water in the bamboo tube into the small ditch on the height.

"Husband, this waterwheel is really interesting, but it's just too strenuous and very tiring to step on."

Yan Ruyu only watered the water of the three bamboo tubes, and she was tired and unwilling to continue to step on it, her cheeks were flushed, and a trace of sweat flowed from her forehead.

"Madam, look at you tired, quickly wipe off the sweat, be careful of catching a cold."

Li An thoughtfully wiped Yan Ruyu's sweat, and gently stroked Yan Ruyu's little face, his eyes were full of pity.

Yan Ruyu smiled, looking even more delicate and moving.

The waterwheel is a water intake artifact specially designed by Ang Lee, in order to increase the amount of water intake, Ang Lee asked the craftsman to build the bamboo tube with the largest diameter, and it is tied densely around the waterwheel, so that the amount of water is naturally larger, but at the same time, it also brings greater resistance to the pedal, and it is more difficult to pedal, however, the pedal designed by Ang Lee is relatively long, which can meet the needs of ten adults at the same time, so that the pressure is much smaller, and the water will become very fast.

Zhao Liu took the servants and the people to work seriously, while Li An took Yan Ruyu and Cao'er to enjoy the beautiful night view on his own thousand acres of land.

In the distance are the servants who are working, and beside them are the delicate ******, Ang Lee, as the master, feels very comfortable in his heart, and it is a kind of joy of success from the heart. (To be continued.) )
