Wei Bao smiled at Song Yingxing: "Go to my father first, my father is the manager of the Agricultural Bureau, talk about the construction of shelterbelts, and then the time is almost up, let's go and see how the finished product of the cement is cooled!" Now we need cement and bricks, that's the top priority! And in order for these two things to be mass-produced and to improve the quality of production, there must be a steam engine, and we must master the technology of making a steam engine ourselves! This will not only make our Tiandi firm have the core competitiveness in the whole Daming, but even the whole world will have absolute technological advantages! ”

Wei Bao said to Song Yingxing with confidence, and planned to let Song Yingxing contact all of them except for the Military Industry Bureau, and let Song Yingxing manage it. The technology of smokeless fire, he is not not easy to let others access, that is the root of life.

Song Yingxing heard that Wei Gongzi's father was the manager of the Agricultural Bureau, and secretly felt funny, in such a small place, what is the Agricultural Bureau doing with such a detailed division? At the same time, he felt that Wei Gongzi was really ambitious, even the imperial court would not be so divided, and he had never heard of a yamen who was in charge of farming, and the household department was in charge of collecting taxes and silver.

"Childe, even if we have the ability to imitate a steam engine, others have already built it, so how can we say that we will have a technical advantage over others?" Song Yingxing asked.

Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, and he secretly thought that he was happy again, so he talked a lot, and there was a loophole here, right? Wittily: "Ah, I shouldn't have made it clear to you, what about this steam engine, many parts are made by me entrusted to foreigners, each with different genera, not produced by one, and there are several core components in it that I made myself, so foreigners do not have steam engine technology." ”

Song Yingxing's heart was shocked, and he was secretly surprised, can he still do this? But I also admired Wei Gongzi's intelligence even more. Splitting a complicated and large thing into small things, and then entrusting a skilled foreigner firm to help make it, this kind of idea, I'm afraid only Wei Gongzi in the world can come up with it, right?

Song Yingxing didn't say anything and nodded.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, seeing that Song Yingxing seemed to believe his words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go." ”

Wei Bao went to find Wei Dakang, and Wei Dakang, Huang Ying and others were also looking for Wei Bao.

Since Wei Dakang and Huang Ying got the position of director and deputy manager of the Agricultural Bureau, they have become full of enthusiasm and have begun to prepare for spring ploughing.

Wei Dakang, Huang Ying, Fan Lao Pimple, and Wang Zhihui were looking at a large number of grains, vegetables and fruits that Wei Baorang had placed in the warehouse.

Although Wei Bao gave Wang Zhihui the official establishment and asked him to work under Luo San's stunned men, Wang Zhihui was still willing to be with Wei Dakang, and after telling Wei Dakang, Wei Dakang asked Luo San to ask Wang Zhihui to come to his side.

"Dakang, do you want to talk to Xiaobao about it, what are more than 3,000 people going to do some mess? They all go to the city wall to lay the foundation, or go to the mountains to dig stones, what are they for? We live on the earth and the sky, and more food is the right way. Fan Lao Pimple said to Wei Dakang.

"Well, I'm going to tell Xiaobao about this, otherwise, it's too hard for more than 100 old and weak women and children in our own class to farm and feed thousands of people." Huang Ying said.

Wei Dakang also nodded: "I wanted to say it a long time ago, but now in this cold day, I have to wait for next month to grow food, so I'm not in a hurry." And Xiaobao is in a hurry to build a city wall now, I don't dare to persuade him. ”

"Brother and sister, you have to say this, Xiaobao is still young after all, no matter how smart he is, he can't know everything." Fan Lao pimple said: "Farming is always the first priority for the people in our township. When Xiaobao has something, he is still willing to listen to you. ”

Wang Zhihui and Wang Zhihui's wife, Fan Laopimp's wife also echoed Fan Laopimple's opinion.

"I don't dare to change Xiaobao's mind casually, the child is older and has a big temperament." Huang Ying frowned and said.

"What's wrong with my temperament? I'm good-tempered, right? Wei Bao happened to come in at this time and said with a smile: "I heard you talking about me outside, and your Agricultural Bureau is so idle?" Didn't you let you get busy with the seedling allocation first? ”

Fan Lao Pimple saw Wei Bao come in, and he didn't know how much Wei Bao heard what he said just now, his face flushed, although he didn't say anything bad about Wei Bao, but it seemed that he said that Wei Bao was still young, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't understand everything This kind of thing, for fear that Wei Bao would be unhappy when he heard it, so he hurriedly smiled: "Xiao Bao is here?" ”

Fan Lao's pimple wife also hurriedly said: "Oh, there is no chair here for Xiaobao to sit on." ”

"Auntie, I don't have to sit." Wei Bao smiled slightly, in fact, he heard the last few words they said just now, "You don't need so many people to farm, in the past, there was less land and more people, and it couldn't be allocated, but now this land is all mine alone, where are you not enough for more than 100 people?" ”

"Enough, enough, who says it's not enough?" Vedakon smiled.

Everyone sweated, just now Wei Dakang said that he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Xiao Baoli, and said that more than 100 people could feed more than 3,000 people or something, but he didn't expect him to change his mind so quickly.

Wei Bao smiled: "Now you not only have to cultivate seedlings, but also find high-quality locust tree species. Drought, sandstorms and soil erosion have brought about a serious ecological crisis, and "nine droughts in ten years, no drought or flood" restricts the development of agricultural economy. The construction of shelterbelt projects has played a decisive role in the reconstruction, restoration and improvement of the ecological environment. On the basis of protecting the existing forest and grassland vegetation, we should adopt methods such as artificial afforestation, mountain closure and sand closure to cultivate forests and grasses, and create windbreak and sand-fixing forests, soil and water conservation bodies, farmland shelter forests, pasture shelter forests, charcoal forests and economic forests, etc., so as to form a shelterbelt system that combines trees, shrubs and grass plants, combines forest belts, forest nets and patch forests, rationally allocates a variety of forests and trees, and coordinates the development of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. ”

Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui, Song Yingxing and others behind Wei Bao heard Wei Bao say this, and they all nodded secretly, although Wei Bao had already mentioned a few words to Song Yingxing just now about planting a shelterbelt, but Song Yingxing thought that Wei Bao was talking about fun, but he didn't expect Wei Bao to come for real, so it seems that Wei Gongzi wants to build a city wall, and he really wants to use it as a windproof wall.

"This is easy to do, what kind of trees do we have here? It's easy to plant trees, just have people. Huang Ying said: "Your Uncle Wang is an expert in planting trees and cutting trees. ”

Wang Qiuya also said: "Yes, Xiaobao, my father has a lot of insights into trees. ”

"Oh? Then it's hard Uncle Wang, do we have Hongsenhuai here? Wei Bao asked: "Hongsen acacia has certain drought-resistant, smoke-tolerant, and salt-alkali tolerant crops. It has a wide range of suitable growth, and is an excellent multi-functional tree species for soil improvement, soil and water conservation, shelter forest, and "four-side" greening. It can be used as street trees, greening trees in residential areas, soil and water conservation trees, and pioneer tree species in barren mountain afforestation. Acacia Hongsen grows rapidly, the wood is hard, the grain is fine, the water is moisture resistant, the decay is resistant, flammable, and the calorific value is high, and it is an important fast-growing timber tree species and energy tree species. It can be used as a pillar and building material, and is also a high-quality raw material for making furniture and wood flooring. Because of the relationship between wind and sand, the soil fertility of our area is seriously declining, and the construction of Hongsen Acacia mixed forest can greatly improve the soil, rhizobia can fix nitrogen, and fallen leaves can fertilize the soil. Mixed with elms, poplars, willows, etc., will grow better. ”

Wang Zhihui looked at Wei Bao curiously, "I didn't expect you to study trees so well, Xiaobao, we have Hongsen Huai here!" Acacia can improve soil fertility, so its barren and drought tolerance is better than that of Salix varieties, and it can grow more normally in poor soil. ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's great, you can organize people to plant two protective forests along the city wall now!" Plant all the surrounding areas of these four miles with acacia, elms, poplars, and willows, and I want to make our area a fertile land. ”

"Just a hundred or so of me? Then what if we go to plant trees, and the other four people come to make trouble and cut down our saplings? Vedacom asked.

"Well, I asked you to organize people to plant saplings first, and when I let you plant trees, I can guarantee that no one will dare to make trouble, unless you are tired of living!" Wei Bao's eyes narrowed.

When Wei Bao said this, although his tone was very flat, it still made everyone present feel a little chill down their backs when they heard it.

Wei Bao also realized that he had said something cruel that was not a cruel word, and smiled and took out a handful of rice from the grain bag beside Fan Laopimple, and said, "This kind of rice is called hybrid rice." The first season of rice must be sown before the Qingming Festival, otherwise the second season will encounter cold dew and wind resulting in a high empty shell rate, and it will be transplanted at the end of April and early May. If the local climatic conditions allow, it can also be transplanted early, and the valley rain can be transplanted. The second season is sown at the end of June and the beginning of July, and the seedling age is generally relatively short, and the seedlings are transplanted before the beginning of autumn. You have to cultivate a lot from now on. ”

"Well, Xiaobao, I was about to ask you about this, why are all the piles of grain you have in the warehouse so big? We've never seen so many good seeds, where do they come from? All bought from overseas? Vedacom asked.

Wei Bao nodded and said, "yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, the foreigners are amazing, the grain is so big, can we grow it too?" Veda Kangdao.

"Absolutely! Our land is fertile, and we can grow anything. Wei Bao smiled. He thinks that at the end of the Ming Dynasty more than 300 years ago, the technology of farmers should be no different from that of modern farmers, right?

"Xiaobao, I've seen a lot of rice, what's the matter with your hybrid rice?" Fan Lao Pimple asked.

This area is mainly planted with wheat, soybeans, and sorghum, which are all traditional crops in northern China, but Fan Lao Pimple has a wide range of knowledge, and when he was young, he ran a lot of places, and he also worked as a short-term worker in places where rice was grown.

"Yes, Xiaobao, tell your old uncle about it, Uncle Lao is a good hand at growing food." Huang Ying said. Because they knew that Wei Bao was unlikely to list Fan Xiaolin as a candidate for his wife, Wei Dakang and Huang Ying both felt a little sorry for Fan Laopimple and Fan Laopimple's wife, they originally liked Fan Xiaolin very much, and they also gave Fan Laopimple and his wife to help Fan Xiaolin become Wei Bao's wife. But seeing that Wei Bao was not very 'enthusiastic' about Fan Xiaolin, he dispelled this idea again.

"Hybrid rice refers to the selection of two rice varieties that have certain genetic differences, and their excellent traits can complement each other, to cross, to produce the first generation of hybrids with heterosis for production, which is hybrid rice. Heterosis is a common phenomenon in the biological world, and heterosis is used to improve crop yield and quality. Rice has obvious heterosis, which is mainly manifested in vigorous growth, developed root system, large panicle and many grains, strong stress resistance, etc., therefore, the use of rice heterosis to greatly improve rice yield has always been the dream of breeders. However, rice is a self-pollinating plant, and the stamens are born in the same spikelet, because the spikelets are very small, and each flower only bears one seed, so it is difficult to produce a large number of first-generation heterogeneous seeds by artificial de-emasculation hybridization, so the heterosis of rice has not been applied for a long time. Wei Bao explained.

In fact, Wei Bao also knows very little about hybrid rice, and he has never planted land, so he can only say a little common sense.

Although everyone knows nothing about what genetics is, what is stress resistance, and a bunch of fresh words made by Wei Bao, the meaning can be clarified.

Fan Lao pimple held the rice seed and looked at it carefully, "I see, I said why I haven't seen this kind of rice." ”

Rice is a self-pollinating crop, and hybrid rice can be retained!

The hybrid rice that is now referred to is bred through the use of heterosis, so the offspring will have trait separation and cannot be retained.

In fact, this is a mistake in understanding the concept.

The purpose of cross-breeding is to obtain offspring that can stabilize the hereditary traits, using the additive effect of genes; Heterosis breeding is based on yield as the breeding standard, using gene additive effect, dominant effect and epistatic effect, the purpose is to add all kinds of excellent traits together, the requirements for parents are higher.

Generally, the parents used in breeding are homozygous genotypes, so the parents can inherit their excellent traits stably.

The greatness of Mr. Yuan Longping lies in finding the male sterile rice genotype of "wild defeat", which can perfectly solve the problem of the scale of rice heterosis utilization breeding, so that hybrid rice can be popularized on a large scale.

The growth and evolution of animals and plants is not chemistry or physics, but a process of searching and rematching.

Wei Bao handed over these things to Wei Dakang, Fan Lao Pimple and others, and he didn't care about how they wanted to get them.

However, he believes that the skilled farmers of this era, with this kind of finished product, coupled with his own explanation, is at least equivalent to the progress of agricultural science and technology for 400 years, which is always of great help.

Wei Bao has always believed that the problem at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although it seems that the people can't eat enough, because of natural disasters accompanied by **, but in essence, it is caused by the imperial power to the landlord class, especially the big landlord class, the aging of the system, and the expansion of the system. Even if we bring all the modern fine grain seed technology over, at most we can say that this contradiction will be eased, and this contradiction will absolutely not be eradicated, because this contradiction is irreconcilable and is destined to explode.

After Wei Bao told everyone everything he knew, he asked Fan Lao Pimple: "Uncle Pimple, is there no problem?" ”

"There is no big problem, since foreigners can do it, we will definitely be able to do it, with this baby, I dare not say more, in the future, the yield per mu is 1,000 catties, no longer a dream!" Fan Lao pimple said excitedly: "Don't say it's 3,000 people, Xiaobao, if you get another 30,000 people, I dare to guarantee that no more people will starve to death, and no one will go out to escape the famine." ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "Very good." As he spoke, he picked up a sweet potato seedling with intact roots: "This thing is called sweet potato, you can plant it now, this is a baby!" ”

In fact, there were already sweet potatoes at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but Wei Bao brought modern mature species, which were more 'stout'.

Sweet potatoes are mainly grown underground and do not require much space above ground. However, they prefer a warm environment, so try to choose a sunny and well-drained spot.

"Xiaobao, you really know how to buy it, why are the fruits you bought from outside so big?" Fan Lao pimple nodded in admiration and said, "This is no problem." Sweet potatoes grow in the soil. For them to grow well, the soil must be deeply cultivated and loosened. Fertile soil is important for a good harvest. Cover the surface with a layer of nutrient soil and pick up large stones. Add peat soil or plant ash. Because sweet potatoes love heat, they need warm soil for them to thrive. So the seedlings can not be planted until spring at the earliest, a month after the last frost. ”

"Well, I've heard people say that when sweet potatoes are first planted, they need a lot of water. Over time, watering is reduced until about once every seven or eight days later. Sweet potatoes need to be watered and weededed. It can be collected once every four months. With this thing, Xiaobao dug a deep well again, and he was not afraid of a great drought. Wang Zhihui also said.

"It's so sweet." Huang Ying took a bite happily, "I have to eat two or three of this thing every day now." ”

Wei Bao saw that they all knew how to plant, and he was very happy, and he didn't panic, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay." Have you ever seen this? ”

As Wei Bao spoke, he picked up a potato and asked everyone.

Everyone shook their heads and said they had never seen it.

Wei Bao smiled and said something about potato cultivation. He had been coming since the previous evening, so he had copied some of the information on these high-yielding crops. The three 'Crossing Giant Enthusiast' brothers have collected a lot of information in this regard.

On the one hand, because agricultural information is originally shared by the whole world, ordinary people can also understand it very deeply if they want to understand it.

On the other hand, Wei Bao guessed that the reason why the three 'Crossing Giant Enthusiasm' brothers collected this agricultural knowledge was probably to make a fortune from agriculture in ancient times.

Potatoes are a highly adaptable crop that can be used in any other place except saline soil, but only with watering.

The land to be planted with potatoes in the spring of the next year, it is best to plough it in the first year, not only to plough, but also to plough deeply, potatoes are the most soft soil layer, and it is also the plant that can loosen the soil.

From the spring harvest to the autumn sowing period, due to the short time, some seed potatoes have not passed the dormancy period, so when cultivating autumn potatoes, they must be soaked and germinated.

When soaking seeds, dissolve gibberellin with a small amount of wine, then dilute it with water to the desired concentration, put the seed potatoes in a basket or mesh bag, and then soak them in the liquid medicine. After soaking, the seed potatoes are removed and placed on a sand bed, and the thickness of the tubers is about 20 cm, and then the moist sand is about 5 cm thick on top and around. When the buds grow to 2 cm long, they are pulled out and placed in a cool place with scattered light for greening, and they can be sown after 2-3 days.

Because the autumn sowing time is in the high temperature and rainy season, it is easy to rot the seeds, so to sow the whole potato, you can choose about 50 grams of small potatoes as seed potatoes. One of the main reasons for the low yield of potatoes in autumn is that the suitable time for potato growth is short, so the production of commercial potatoes should be sown in advance to prolong its growth time as much as possible, and the sowing time can be selected in early August.

In August, the high temperature and rain, when the field is waterlogged, it is easy to cause rotten potatoes, which affects the emergence of seedlings and plants after rain, and the stagnant water should be removed in time and cultivated to facilitate the emergence of seedlings.

The temperature of autumn potatoes is high in the early stage of growth, which is suitable for the growth of stems and leaves, and the temperature is low in the later stage, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is conducive to the expansion of potato pieces, and there is generally no elongation phenomenon during the whole growth period.

Huang Ying listened to Wei Bao's explanation and took a bite of the potato: "This thing is also delicious, sweet, and the stir-fry is also delicious." It's delicious to eat raw. ”

Wei Bao sweated, "Mother, why do you have to eat everything?" Dirty or not? ”

"What's this dirty?" Huang Ying said disapprovingly: "Didn't you see that I wiped it with a cloth towel just now?" ”

"I have to be literate, Xiaobao said so much, where do you remember?" Fan Lao Pimple looked at the information in Wei Bao's hand.

Wei Bao handed over the information to Fan Lao Pimple, and said with a smile: "In two days, a literacy class will be held, and everyone in the whole A will have a share, so let's focus on you people who have a formal establishment first!" More than 3,000 people were given literacy in three batches for two and a half months, each with an hour set aside in the early hours of each morning. In the morning, the memory of the person is better. After you all have literacy, enrollment will officially start in September, and education will be started! ”

Wei Bao said to Xu Rui beside him: "This matter, let's implement it today, let a few gentlemen sum up, first get out the most commonly used words, just take the words on "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" as a model, people who participate in literacy classes must all be literate!" ”

"Yes, Childe." Xu Rui agreed.

This is equivalent to allowing everyone to complete the literacy task of primary school Chinese in two and a half months, and only one hour of class a day is equivalent to only two hours, which is too tight for time. It's going to kill people. However, Wei Bao believes that human potential is limitless.

When Song Yingxing heard this, he glanced at Wei Gongzi deeply, and secretly wondered that Wei Gongzi was really ambitious! He had never heard of a rich man who would give his tenants literacy! "Childe, in such a tight time, I'm afraid I can't finish learning so many words, right?"

"Let's study first, take the exam once at the end of the semester, and take the exam again next year, mainly on your own. The test is set with a maximum score of 100 points, and 60 points are considered passing. Wei Bao explained: "I think it's okay, if you go to a literacy class, you can't pass both exams and you will be kicked out." ”

Wei Bao smiled after speaking, he knew that driving out of this kind of thing was undoubtedly equivalent to killing the people who followed him, and now following him is equivalent to solving the problem of food and clothing, where is there such a place in Daming?

Song Yingxing stopped talking, secretly thinking that although the time was very tight, if Wei Gongzi gave a one-year deadline, I was afraid that it would be okay, after all, if it didn't work, he would be kicked out.

Song Yingxing couldn't understand why Wei Bao thought of making everyone literate, and he didn't know what Wei Bao's intentions were, anyway, he felt that this was an ambitious approach, how could he be ambitious? He couldn't tell.

"There's nothing to say about wheat, is there? It is one of our staple foods, which can be ground into flour to make bread, steamed buns, biscuits, noodles and other foods; After fermentation, it can be made into beer, alcohol, liquor, or biofuel. Winter wheat is sown in September and October and harvested in April and May of the following year, mainly south of the Great Wall. Spring wheat is sown after the Spring Festival and harvested in August and September, mainly north of the Great Wall. You're ready to plant spring wheat now, right? ”

"Well, I was talking about this just now, and I'm ready." Fan Lao Pimple hurriedly said.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "Very good." Open up all the land that can be cleared, and divide each block. In addition to rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, I ask you to grow corn! ”

Wei Bao said, picking up a corn cob and saying, "Corn is not a staple food like rice and wheat. But corn is also a nutritious agricultural product. Generally, around April, it is ready to be planted. Tidy up the field, sow the seeds by hand, dig a shallow pit, sprinkle a few corn seeds, cover with soil, and the sowing is complete. The germination time is probably less than a week, and the seeds are all germinated. After germination, the main thing is to manage the weeds in the field, to remove the weeds in time, and when the seedlings grow to half a human height, add chemical fertilizer again to ensure their normal growth. Around June, the corn seedlings will emerge, with flowers growing at the top and corn bales growing in the middle to complete pollination. After a while, the young corn can be picked and eaten. Generally, the corn is fully ripe in about 30 days. Choose a sunny day to pick, dry it, and you can store it. ”

"Xiaobao, is this also bought from foreigners? What is fertilizer? Isn't it just and pee? Fan Lao Pimple asked.

Wei Bao snorted and smiled, not knowing how to explain: "You understand it first." However, chemical fertilizer is different from and urine, and if you have kung fu, I'll see if I can get it out and increase food production! In addition, there is also insect medicine! It can be made. ”

Fan Lao pimple's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If there is an insecticide, then we don't have anything to worry about, in the year of disaster, the main thing is not to be afraid of drought and flood, but to be afraid of pests and diseases. ”

Everyone echoed and said that if there was really this kind of insect fighting medicine that Wei Bao said, Wei Bao would have accumulated great virtue.

Wei Bao snorted, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart, although he hadn't figured it out yet, he had already strengthened his idea of experimenting with pesticides and some basic antibiotics and immune drugs.

Modern pesticides-free dishes, that's all lies, no pesticides, catch insects with your hands? Is it possible?

"So, Xiaobao, what about this?" Huang Ying peeled off a peanut and ate it, then asked.

Wei Bao sweats, do you really eat everything? "It's called peanuts, and the way to grow them is very simple, similar to corn."

"Well, well, this thing has to be varied! It's delicious, so you can try it too. Huang Ying said and grabbed a handful and gave it to everyone to eat.

Everyone followed Huang Ying's example, peeled it off and ate it, and they all applauded it after eating.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, these people are used to being hungry, and now giving them everything is like eating ginseng fruit, this is a big advantage of people who are used to being poor, they can never forget the feeling of hunger, and everything they eat is always fragrant.

"This stuff is fried and eaten, and it tastes even better. Peel the peanuts, fry them in oil to change color, and then sprinkle them with a little salt and use them to serve with the wine, which is simply delicious. Wei Bao said with a smile.

Huang Ying was overjoyed when she heard this: "Anyway, there are dozens of bags here, I'll fry them for you to eat in the evening, okay?" ”

Wei Bao felt amused by Huang Ying's talent in eating, as well as her curiosity and desire for food, and her interest in cooking, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, what's wrong with this." ”

"Well, then you come to us to eat at night, I don't need a cook to fry, my mother is no worse than a cook." Huang Ying saw that Wei Bao agreed, and said happily.

"It's okay to work on your own once in a while, but it's mainly for others." Wei Bao said distressedly.

Huang Ying knew that her son felt sorry for herself and was unwilling to let herself do things, so she agreed with a smile.

Fan Lao and Wang Zhihui listened to Wei Bao and Huang Ying's mother and son chatting, and hurriedly praised Wei Bao for being sensible and filial.

"This gentleman's name is Song Yingxing, he will be my Mr. Xixi in the future, and he is also the deputy chief steward of our Tiandi firm, everyone can find him directly if they have anything." Wei Bao finally introduced Song Yingxing to Wei Dakang and others.

Song Yingxing hurriedly bowed his hand to everyone, especially respecting Wei's father and Wei's mother, honorifically calling 'Taigong' and 'Old Lady'.

Wei Dakang and Huang Ying are still very young, both of them are in their early thirties, both are less than forty years old, but they just look a little vicissitudes, but now their lives are better, and they don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun anymore, it has been less than a month, and both of them have been raised a lot of ruddy.

However, the two of them are still quite useful for Song Yingxing's polite title.

"Xiaobao, is this your new gentleman? He just came to us, and he was the deputy chief steward? Wei Dakang was quick to speak, and in front of Wei Bao and Song Yingxing, he began to question.

Huang Ying and others also think the same way, thinking that a newcomer, who doesn't know the roots, will come up and do such a big 'official', even bigger than Wei Dakang and Huang Ying's officials, too fast.

Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui were a little uncomfortable in their hearts, although the two of them are now officially established, they are not in charge. An outsider just came and made a deputy chief steward, how to teach people to be convinced?

Wei Bao saw everyone's thoughts and smiled slightly: "My Mr. Song is from a high background!" ”

"Oh!"

When everyone heard this, they let out such a sound at the same time, and the suspicion on their faces was swept away at once.

Wei Bao is sweating, secretly thinking that he is still famous for the imperial examination, and it is a golden sign in this era!

The reason why he reused Song Yingxing was not because Song Yingxing had a great reputation, but because Song Yingxing was erudite and knowledgeable, and he was able to write an ancient encyclopedia like "Heavenly Creations", which could help him expand industrial agriculture, as well as build river embankments, reservoirs, roads, and aqueducts and drainage canals.

But it seems that all this can't catch up with the people of this era, and the respect for the scholars who have gained fame is strong.

"Dad, mother, what's wrong, right? Now you don't have to worry about finding something to do, right? Some of your more than 100 people are busy, if you really can't rush to work, you can also ask the chief steward Luo to ask for manpower, but it is better not to divide the labor to do farm work, they are all piecework now, and they have to pay silver miles to do something. ”

"You can't plant trees for all of us to be a hundred or so, right?" When Wei Dakang heard Wei Bao say this, he suddenly lost his breath and said, "Let's only provide tree seeds, let Luo San take people to plant trees, plant trees in his free time, and don't give silver." If you refuse to plant a tree, you will leave. ”

Wei Bao sneered and nodded in agreement with Wei Dakang's idea: "Okay." You don't need to go to plant trees, you just provide tree seeds, and this matter will be handed over to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang, you lead a few people to be in charge of the saplings. It is also appropriate to let Luo San stunned and lead people to organize everyone to plant trees in their leisure time, after all, greening the environment is related to the life of each of us. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, it's just that you can't rush it, if you want to use two protective forests to surround the huge area of four miles, it will take at least five years or more!" Wang Zhihui said: "This is still the fastest time I estimate." ”

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Yes, you can arrange it yourself, I also know that afforestation is not in a hurry." ”
