"Don't worry, I will let Liao Baihu and Xue Zongqi go with you, you don't have to worry about it along the way, you just do your part and look at the copper material carefully."

In fact, it is said that it is from Guiyang to Yunnan, it is better to go to Dongchuan Mansion, although the whole Yunnan produces copper, but eighty percent of the copper mines are still concentrated in Dongchuan and Wumeng in northeast Yunnan, but unfortunately these two provinces are not under the jurisdiction of Yunnan at this time, but Sichuan Buzheng Division is under the jurisdiction. Originally, the nearest road from Guiyang to Dongchuan and Wumeng did not need to pass through Yunnan at all, and it was possible to go directly to Shuixi through Wusa, but ordinary businessmen who dared to take this road were undoubtedly looking for death, these two places were the pro-jurisdiction of Shuixi Tusi, although there were also post stations of the imperial court, but after all, the road was still dangerous.

At this time, the route is either from Zunyi to Chishui, Zhenxiong all the way around, and there is another is out of Guiyang to the southwest through Anshun, Pu'an, into Qujing in Yunnan and then to the north to Dongchuan Mansion, the former one is a little around, and Chishuiwei between Shuixi and Yongning, it can not be said how stable, but to Pu'an this road is from Yunnan to Guizhou trade thoroughfare, but it is much more peaceful.

Liu Ru seems to be a little reluctant, but he has to agree, the danger of taking a trip to Yunnan will not be much higher than going to the town, if the supply of copper can be solved, it will undoubtedly be a great contribution to the business and the iron factory, then his position here will be more stable in Wang Xingping. After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Ru sincerely responded to this difference.

Wang Xingping asked him to do things with peace of mind, and when he came back from the Jierong Institute, he would bring Liao Si and Xue Liu back together. It's not that Wang Ge and Ding Deshui can't go together, this is actually Wang Xingping's intention, in order not to alienate the original sergeants of Baierbao from himself, and at the same time to let these people integrate into his own system, after all, after a few battles, the original sergeants of Baierbao have already had official status, and they are no longer ordinary miscellaneous soldiers.

Coming out of the iron yard, he went to the construction site of Xincheng as usual to inspect it, today Yang Wencong is not there, but the construction site is still in order, Wang Jianzhong led his standard camp to be stationed nearby, Wang Xingping used a lot of ways to encourage the workers, these days, even those people who were transferred from the Ministry of Yu are grateful to Young Master Wang.

Thinking about it, it is not difficult to guess that although Yu's family promised to go out to repair the city, most of the laborers sent were not cronies of the ministry, Wang Xingping had personally inquired, and many of them were offended by the local officials and were taken the opportunity to rectify them. Now the local people ran to the state capital yamen to complain about the oppression of the local officials is not a few, from Wang Xingping's understanding, it can be seen that there are many such people among the people who built the city, and in these months of getting along, Wang Xingping also gradually found that under the influence of his behavior, the local people also began to gradually have a good impression of him, especially the poor people, when building the city, he not only arranged for the rations to be sent to these people one by one, but also the promised progress rewards should be issued from the same as the shortcomings, and over time, it gradually gained prestige among the local people, In addition, after the county test ink paper in the examination was posted, the views were also recognized by Yisheng, and even the scholars also gave birth to some different views from the past. Even with it, some natives began to think that the barbarians who died in his hands in the past were purely their own death, and Wang Gongzi personally did it for the people.

Being able to hear such comments, Wang Xingping was naturally in a good mood after being surprised, and walked into the mansion proudly.

Today is Xiu Mu, but Wang Xingping is still on the errand of helping with firearms, and he has long been familiar with the government officials, so it is naturally unimpeded, and there have already been doors.

Sun Chongxian was sitting in the garden with the two of them at the back office at the moment to enjoy the spring, Wang Xing calmed his eyes and saw that the three people were no one else, one was the general judge Xu Ji who had dealt with him many times, but the other person was just a little kind, and after thinking about it, it turned out to be Shen Xuke, the same acquaintance of the mansion.

"It turned out that Tiancheng was here." Sun Chongxian seemed to be in a good mood.

Wang Xingping didn't answer first, but Shi Shiran saluted, "The student has seen the big mansion, the second mansion, and don't drive. ”

Sun Chongxian joked with a smile, "You are bold, and you are not afraid of others talking nonsense when you come to me before the government test." ”

"The student has not been filial piety in the first place, and this exam is just a practice, even if he passes the government exam, he will not take the college exam next year."

Sun Chongxian first had a subtle expression when he heard this, and then said: "It's a pity, Mr. Su Zhi also said that you are a genius, and the name of the hospital examination is unknown." ”

"If you can get the first case now, you will definitely be able to get it again in the future, and the student will not get the first place in the county exam."

"That's Zhang Dahua's own cleverness." Next to him, Xu said, it seems that no one in the mansion is waiting to see this county order.

Shen Xuke was also old, but at this time he asked, "I heard that your iron factory wants to mint money, but now it's done?" ”

"The student just told Mr. Sun and the two gentlemen about the matter, first, because everyone was producing firearms before, and after April, some people should be freed up, and second, there was still a shortage of raw materials, so I had already sent someone to Yunnan to buy them."

"Oh? Where is it going? Shen Xuke continued to ask.

Wang Xingping glanced at Xu Jian in confusion, and Xu Jian hurriedly explained: "Tiancheng can know that Shen Erfu is the same as me, and he is also from Yunnan, my home is in Yunnan Mansion (now Kunming), but Shen Erfu's family is in Lin'an Mansion (now Jianshui). ”

"I don't think Erfu and Beijia are fellow villagers." Wang Xingping said with a smile, he has filial piety to several people in his heart, but he really doesn't know the hometown of this fellow master, it seems that the intelligence work is not in place, and someone should do it in the future. But when I think about it, there is probably a lot of business in Yunnan, and it is good to be able to make friends with an official from Yunnan.

As for the Xu Tongju, who had an old relationship with the Wang family earlier, and later made a contribution because he became a party in Gu Fengming's case, he had already been angry with Wang Xingping.

It was almost time to come out of the mansion, so Sun Chongxian naturally left him for dinner, but he also had to go to the counter to take care of business in the afternoon.

Another day later, Wang Xingping and Xiaoliu went to Shuiwo Village together, along with a few Lifu and a big car, seeing Li Laoliu, Wang Xingping carried down all the things loaded in the car without saying a word.

"What are you, owner?" Originally, Wang Xingping had used a trick to scare the snake, but he didn't want to harm Gu Fengming to deliberately target this old farmer, and his ancestral grave was also dug up. Later, because of this, since Gujia Zhuangzi was copied, he trembled in the village and became the object of other villagers' stammering, but Li Laoliu wanted to come to the owner to give him gifts, and the big bags and small bags carried down from the car made him suspicious.

Wang Xingping didn't think Li Laoliu was strange, and said: "Now that spring sowing, I know that you are a good farmer, and I want to entrust you with something." ”

"The owner is very gracious, where can the old man be entrusted, just give orders." I don't know if it's an illusion, Wang Xingping feels that since Gu Fengming was cleaned up by the government, the old man of the Li family has become more and more clever.

He didn't want to repay anything, and he was a little guilty about pit this family, but more things on the tuntian need to find a reliable helper, although the field of Juntun was recaptured by Wang Xingping, and the military households of Juntun were also recruited by Wang Xingping everywhere, but the field was not private property after all, and the tunhu was not a slave of the Wang family, and some ideas were not good to try indiscriminately before there was no result. And there is another point Wang Xingping did not talk nonsense, this Li Laoliu is indeed a good hand at farming, just looking at the land in Guizhou once a year, he can grow two seasons is his ability.

Shuiwo Village itself is also different, many of the fields here are the property of the Wang family, and the original Gu family has not entered the official ranks, although several local gentry finally gave a share of the profits, but he is still a little good.

He looked at Li Laoliu and asked with concern: "I don't know how much grain your family's land can be harvested in a year?" ”

Li Lao Liuxian was still waiting for the owner's instructions respectfully, and immediately shuddered when he heard this, and an old face immediately became bitter, "The owner is good, although the villain is planted with water, but it is less fertility, so it is barely enough to complete the rent every year. ”

Li Lao Liu's words were cunning, but Wang Xingping didn't care, some cleverness was not a big problem, and it was precisely because of this little cleverness that he found this person. The land yield of Shuiwo Village should be more than two and a half stones per mu, and the land rent is fifty percent, Gu Fengming was originally rectified by Wang Xingping's words, and the Li family not only did not reduce the rent for the Li family according to Wang Xingping's wishes, but also added half percent to it privately. As a result, Gu Fengming's case was discovered, and the gangsters of his Shuiwo Village were dealt with by the officials. Wang Xingping not only returned half of the rent that Li Lao Liu had originally overcharged, but also reduced it by half to him as promised, and the Li family here got one percent more than the original, so Li Lao Li is naturally a little worried about Wang Xingping's redress when he listens to the owner's words.

He originally got five acres of paddy fields, but now Wang Xingping handed over the land of You Wu and others to him to plant, and also gave him a cow on the original Gujiazhuang. Now Li Laoliu is planting 20 acres of land, and in addition to paying rent a year, he can have nearly 30 stone of grain left, and he can be regarded as a solid family after this year's autumn harvest.

With such hope, it is natural that there will be more worries in the heart.

Wang Xingping could naturally see it, so he grabbed a handful of some white powder and said, "Earlier you said that the fertility of this land is not enough, but it just so happens that I have some good things here." "Ueda, which can produce two and a half stones of grain a year, was said by Li Laoliu to be clever, but he happened to be caught by Wang Xingping, "This thing can make crops thick and more resistant to lodging when applied to the field." ”

"Oh?" Li Lao Liu is interested, if it is really as Wang Xingping said, this powder is an excellent thing.

"As for this." Wang Xingping grabbed another handful of dark brown powder, "These can be applied to the ground to make the ears firm and full." ”

Li Laoliu was first shocked and then delighted when he heard this, and it seemed that the owner of these things would be handed over to him, but he became worried again.

The so-called fertilizer brought by the owner has not been seen and heard in the past, and if it is used rashly, it may have an impact on the soil fertility, but if it is not used, it will inevitably refute the feelings of the main family, and it is really ignorant of lifting. These powders were actually processed by Wang Xingping from salt stone and animal bones respectively, which Li Laoliu had naturally never seen before.

He was anxious, but Wang Xingping spoke, "Although these fertilizers are extraordinary, I don't know the specific amount, you can divide the fifteen acres of land in Youwu, and apply fertilizer with different amounts per mu, and I will verify the results after the autumn harvest." ”

Li Lao Liu cried out bitterly, "But if it damages the soil strength and mistakes farming, how can it be good." ”

Wang Xingping knew that he was actually worried about the forty and a half percent of the rent, "You don't have to worry, the rent of this fifteen acres of land will be exempted this year, you just have to be bold and verify, if you collect more food, I don't want it, all of it belongs to you, if you do a good job, I will have another reward here." ”

Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, give a general direction, and then give a generous return, he still has a little confidence in whether Li Lao Liu can experiment with better field practices, as for the old man who knows that most of the Li family will not take all the fifteen acres of land for experiments, there is no need to name them, this little cleverness is harmless.

After eating this reassuring pill, Li Lao Liu really had no excuse to speak of, so he nodded in agreement.

At this time, Wang Xingping took out a piece of sauce-red plant rhizome-like thing from his sleeve and said: "There is also this, you can choose the dry land with high leeward and sunny terrain by the river in the village, and also divide a few points to try to plant it, and you can know the harvest this summer." ”

Li Lao Li Hu wondered: "What is this?" ”

"Sweet Potato ......"
