kept picking at the unknown flowers that grew more than two feet tall in a small jar in front of him.

Seeing this, Chang An Ling opened his mouth and shouted, "Is Jiang Wei at home?" ”

Hearing the shout, the old man hurriedly stood up and said, "Xing'er and the young people of the clan have gone into the mountain, do you have anything to do with Xing'er?" ”

"We heard that there is a Mr. Jiang here who wants to get to know him, by the way, what is the little sister doing?" Chang Anling said and pointed to Jiang Zhen, who was busy in the courtyard, and asked.

"My brother said he was pollinating the flowers so they could bear fruit." Jiang Zhen said to Chang'an Ling without reservation.

Hearing that it could be fruitful, Chang An Ling said with a smile: "What's the use of the fruit made of such a little thing?"

Jiang Zhen said with a disdainful face: "My brother said that this is the seed of gastrodia, don't underestimate this seed, you can plant a large area." ”

"This is the seed of gastrodia? I haven't seen it before, but what are you doing with so many gastrodia? Li Jiancheng looked at the gastrodia seeds that had already borne fruit and asked curiously.

"My brother said that this thing turned out to be wild, and he is going to domesticate this thing, plant it first, and give it to everyone a skill to make a living."

As he was talking, he saw Jiang Lao Liu carrying two wooden boxes with his burden and entering the yard from one side, and when he saw the two people in the yard, he arrived: "Third aunt, Zhen'er, this is a beehive that Xing'er asked me to make, I made ten first, and Xing'er came back for him to see." ”

"Put it under the eaves, let your third brother see it later, I haven't seen anyone else beekeeping, I know this." Grandma is resistant to these strange things, she can raise chickens and pigs or something, but she refuses to keep bees.

"Okay, Xing'er will come back in a while, let him come to me, I have finished the windmill he said, let him see if he can, let's finalize it."

"Okay, he won't come back early, you hurry up."

Jiang Lao Liu answered and left here, seeing that Jiang Lao Liu left Li Jiancheng and stayed here, he was also bored, so he had to change the topic and said: "Let's go, why don't we go to the canal to see." ”

"Good"

Not far away, a simple thatched hut made of wood blocked the way for a few people, and the thatched hut sat next to a canal, built of stone on all sides, surrounded by a circle of canals, with several planks placed on the side of the canal, apparently to raise the water level.

Looking at the thatched house that suddenly appeared, Li Jiancheng said suspiciously: "What is this thatched house for?" ”

"It is said to be used for grinding, but I don't know how to operate it, so I have to find someone who knows how to ask. Alas, someone came, just in time to see how she operated. ”

As he was talking, he saw a middle-aged woman holding a noodle bag and carrying a basket of wheat here, and the few people who were guarding the canal didn't care, and there were countless people who came to visit them these days, and they were not surprised.

The middle-aged woman picked up the wooden plank and put it on the top of the canal, the water level rose instantly, and flowed out from the branch canal on the side, driving the water wheel at one end of the canal, and there was a large wooden gear stuck with several wooden gears that gradually became smaller, and drove a linkage rod connected to the stone mill, which directly pulled the stone mill.

The middle-aged woman poured the wheat into the wooden bucket next to the stone mill in a hurry, scooped it into the grinding hole with a wooden spoon, and after a while, a bag of wheat was finished, she pulled up the linkage rod on the stone mill, swept the grinding noodles with a broom, and then went through the sieve, and poured it into the grinding eye.

Li Jiancheng has naturally seen it, but it is the first time he has seen such a rapid grinding, if it is usually put into the past, there must be a person to clean the grinding, and it will not be completed at all without half a day, but now it is good to grind it in this time.

"It's really amazing, this Jiang Wei is really a talent."

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Chang An Ling hurriedly smiled: "It's not just that, they also built water storage dams in various villages, according to Jiang Wei's meaning, he wants to change the idea of relying on the sky to eat, if there is a drought, use the reservoir for irrigation, if it is usual, it will be used to raise fish, which can be described as drought and flood to ensure harvest." ”

"And here's it, go check it out." Since ancient times, it has been relying on the sky to eat, Jiang Wei's method of relying on people to eat has never been mentioned, if it is really like Jiang Wei said, then Bayuan has really become a fertile field for drought and flood protection.

Chang'an Ling took Li Jiancheng around Bayuan, Li Jiancheng stood on the soil of Bayuan, feeling the cold wind blowing from the northwest, looking at the people who were planting trees with a smile on their faces in the cold wind, and nodded silently, he had never seen people laughing so happily anywhere.

"Is this Jiang Wei going to use these trees to enclose the entire Bayuan?"

Chang Anling nodded and said: "That's how he planned, he has already planned a place to plant trees, and the first ones planted are some easy-to-survive willows and poplars, but the ones planted later are all mulberry trees." They interplanted alfalfa, vetch and other things in the woods to herd cattle and sheep, as well as to feed pigs. ”

"This is the top of the mountain, how can they feed these things without water irrigation?"

Chang'an Ling pointed to the two-zhang high waterway not far away: "It is to use this keel waterwheel to transport water up, and the water wheel is installed below, which can directly drive the waterwheel, and if one is not enough, use two, it can be said that this canal has revitalized the entire Bayuan." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded approvingly and said: "The people take food as the sky, this Jiang Weizhi's ability should not be underestimated, and it is really difficult for him to mobilize the lazy Bayuan." ”

"Laziness is because of broken cans, who wants to be hungry if they can eat and drink. Your Royal Highness, this Jiang is only a great talent, if he cultivates more, he will definitely be a talent. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and shook his head again: "Having said that, it's just that you don't know Yuan Ji, he is tyrannical by nature, once he returns to Chang'an, he will definitely find trouble with Jiang Village, if I promote Jiang Wei, I am afraid that something will cause trouble at that time." ”

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Chang Anling's eyes rolled and he was a little speechless: "Your Highness, if you are not a minister who separates your brothers, and the King of Qi is not a person who does great things, why does His Royal Highness not communicate with him is for fear of being implicated by him." His Highness has no available people around him now, although this Jiang Wei is reckless, but judging from his attitude towards the people of Bayuan, he can be regarded as a person who values affection and righteousness, why not try to cultivate it? If you succeed, you have to have an arm, and if you lose, you just close your eyes, and your Royal Highness the King of Qi will deal with it. ”

"Alas, let's meet Jiang Wei himself." Although Li Jiancheng has recognized Jiang Wei's ability in his heart,
